Rule changes
Euronext announces the following rule changes with respect to the Euronext 100 Index and the Next 150 Index. The rule change has been approved in the March meeting of the Euronext Indices Steering Committee.
Rule change announcement period removals
The Rule change reads as follows (new texts are underlined):
6.3.3 If trading at Euronext is stopped or will stop in accordance with article 6.3.2, the following will apply:
- in the event of a merger, acquisition or similar situation, the stock in question will be replaced by the stock that will continue to be traded during regular daytime trading at Euronext, provided that this stock complies with the requirements for inclusion in the Euronext 100 Index laid down in section 1 of these rules. If a bid is accepted (defined as going unconditional) during regular daytime trading hours this will result in the index being adjusted with effect from the second trading day after the bid was accepted. If a bid is accepted outside regular daytime trading hours this will result in the index being adjusted with effect from the third trading day after the bid was accepted. For the purposes of these rules a trading day is considered to be that part of the day during which regular daytime trading takes place at Euronext.
- in all cases other than those described in (a) above the stock in question will be removed from the index, on the understanding that a transitional period to be determined by the compiler, subject to a maximum of three months, may apply, provided that the stock in question continues to meet the requirements laid down in section 1 of these rules. The index will then temporarily consist of fewer than 100 securities until the next periodical adjustment takes place.
The removal of a stock from the index will be announced at least three days in advance, unless the compiler decides that earlier removal is in the interest of the users of the index.
Rule change pre-opening index values
The following Rule will be inserted in the ground rules:
2.11 Should an index remain in pre-opening during the full trading session, the last calculated pre-opening value, will be taken as the official closing value for that day.
These rule changes will come into effect on 16 September, observing the 3-months notice period.
The Euronext 100 and Next 150 index have been published since 2 October, 2000. They are constituted of the 250 securities with the highest market capitalisation, traded on the official markets of Euronext. In order to be included in the indices the securities must meet liquidity criteria that are specified in the rules of the indices. Euronext Indices is the compiler of the indices under the supervision of the independent Euronext Indices Steering Committee.
