From January 2010 each segment is reviewed annually based on the average market cap in November. The next cap segment revision will take effect in January 2012 based on average market cap in November 2011. According to amendments announced 29 May, 2009, the market cap calculations are based on the total number of shares, i.e. both listed and non-listed shares, of a company.
12 month transitional period
Companies with a market cap value of more than 50 percent of the minimum or maximum threshold of each segment will be transferred into the new segment with immediate effect. Companies with a market cap value of less than 50 percent of the minimum or maximum threshold of each segment will have a transitional period until the next review, and thus be subject to one more review before transferring into the new segment. Hence, based on the EUR 1 billion Large-cap and EUR 150 million Mid-cap thresholds, a Large-cap company whose market cap value has not fallen below EUR 500 million, and a Mid-cap company whose market cap value has not fallen below EUR 75 million, will be subject to a second review before moving down to the new segment. Similarly, a Mid-cap company whose market cap value has not exceeded EUR 1.5 billion and a Small-cap company whose market cap value has not exceeded EUR 225 million, will be subject to a second review before moving up to the new segment.
