Deutsche Börse has today announced changes in the DAX index. Deutsche Börse AG’s tendered share class (ISIN DE000A1KRND6) is to be replaced in the DAX with the original Deutsche Börse AG share class (ISIN DE0005810055). The changes will be effective on 8 February 2012 and are a result of today’s announcement on the reversal of the transaction between Deutsche Börse and NYSE Euronext due to the prohibition of the merger by the EU Commission.
The Deutsche Börse share (ISIN DE0005810055) was replaced in the DAX on 20 July 2011 by the Deutsche Börse AG tendered share class (ISIN DE000A1KRND6). Due to the reversal of the transaction, the tendered share class is now to be replaced by the regular Deutsche Börse share in accordance with the framework for the equity indices concerning regulations for mergers of index members, as Deutsche Börse announced on 6 June 2011. No adjustment will be made to the free float factor or weighting of the share in the index, nor does the change affect the composition of the DAX index.
