On Tuesday, Deutsche Börse has decided on changes in its equity indices MDAX® and SDAX® that will take effect on 18 December. Gagfah will be included in the MDAX and will replace Fielmann. Gagfah was admitted on the basis of the so-called fast-entry rule, because the company is ranked 40th or higher in terms of both market capitalization and trading volume.
Fielmann will move to the SDAX, where it will replace Masterflex.
Additionally, TAG Tegernsee will replace Centrotec in the SDAX.
The next equity index review is scheduled for 5 March 2007.
