The NASDAQ OMX European Government Relief Index is an equal-weighted index designed to track the performance of European-listed securities whose issuer is participating in direct government investment programs or has received government loans and NASDAQ OMX is aware of the transaction. The Index commenced calculation with a value of 1000.00 on January 5, 2009.
Two versions of the Index are calculated -- a price return index and a total return index. The price return index is ordinarily calculated without regard to cash dividends on Index Securities. The total return index reinvests cash dividends on the ex-date. Both Indexes ordinarily reinvest extraordinary cash distributions.
