Deutsche Börse Decides On Changes To Equity Indices - Changes In MDAX®, SDAX® And TecDAX® Are Effective On 19 June

Date 06/06/2006

On Tuesday, Deutsche Börse has decided on changes in its equity indices MDAX®, SDAX® and TecDAX®. The changes will be effective on 19 June.

Wacker Chemie will be included in the MDAX index, replacing MPC, which will then be included in the SDAX index. DIC Asset, KWS Saat and Patrizia Immobilien will also be included in the SDAX index, replacing Beate Uhse, DIS Deutsche Industrieservices, WCM Beteiligungen and Zapf Creation.

Nordex will replace T-Online in the TecDAX index. This is an unscheduled change, following the completed merger of T-Online with Deutsche Telekom. This amendment will be reflected after the close of trading on 8 June, and therefore take effect from 9 June.

The next review of the equity indices is scheduled for 5 September 2006.
