Deutsche Börse: Unscheduled Adjustment In MDAX - Share Class Of Wincor Nixdorf AG To Be Replaced - Changes To Be Effective As Of 1 April 2016

On Tuesday, Deutsche Börse announced unscheduled changes to MDAX. As a result of the expected acquisition of Wincor Nixdorf AG by the acquirer Diebold, Incorporated, the Wincor Nixdorf AG current share class (ISIN DE000A0CAYB2) in MDAX will be replaced with the tendered share class of Wincor Nixdorf AG (ISIN DE000A169QN2). All changes will become effective on 01 April 2016.

According to the index guidebook, this index change is implemented with two trading days’ notice once a company’s share reaches an acceptance threshold of at least 50 percent. The number of shares and the free float factor are set to be equal to the values of the current share class in the indices. Once the final tender period ends, depending on the acceptance threshold the tendered share will be either replaced by the share of a new or the prior share line of Wincor Nixdorf AG. This process ensures that the relevant criteria of index continuity and tradability are upheld.

The next scheduled index review is 3 June 2016.
