Merck Replaces Altana In DAX - Deutsche Börse Reviews Index Composition - Changes Are Effective On 18 June

On Tuesday, Deutsche Börse has decided on changes in its equity indices DAX®, MDAX® and SDAX® that will take effect on 18 June. Merck will be included in DAX and will replace Altana. The company does no longer meet the criteria to remain in the index in terms of market capitalization and leaves the index on the basis of the so-called fast-exit rule. Altana will move to MDAX replacing Merck. In SDAX Axel Springer will be included replacing the share of Thiel Logistik. The share of Alstria will also be included in SDAX replacing the share of Cewe Color.
