Sartorius (Preferred Shares) And Cancom To Be Included In TecDAX - Deutsche Börse Reviews Index Composition - Changes Are Effective On 18 June 2012

On Tuesday Deutsche Börse decided on changes in its selection indices. No changes have been made to the constituents of the DAX®, MDAX® and SDAX® Indices.

The following changes have been made to the TecDAX® Index: The share of Sartorius AG (preferred shares) will be included in TecDAX and will replace the share of BB Biotech AG. The exclusion of BB Biotech AG was based on the rule, which states that companies without juristic headquarters in Germany but within the European Union or in an EFTA state have to fulfill a major share (33 percent) of their stock exchange turnover on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange including Xetra. 

Furthermore, the share of Cancom AG will replace the share of Centrotherm Photovoltaics AG in TecDAX.


The changes will be effective as of 18 June 2012. The next regular index review will be held on 5 September 2012.
