SET Announces Securities Used In The SET50 And SET100 Indexes Effective July 1, 2005

Senior Vice President of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Mr. Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput, Ph.D., announced that the SET’s Index Committee has selected the securities to be included in calculating the SET50 and the SET100 indexes for the 2H/2005 or from July 1 – Dec. 31, 2005. There will be eight and ten securities added into the calculations of the SET50 and the SET100 indexes respectfully.

“Eligible securities must be in the top 200 securities with the highest daily average market capitalization values (calculated from figures collected over the past 12 months). The companies must have been listed for at least six months and have a free-float of no less than 20%.

Furthermore, the firms’ trading values on the main board have been compared to the average per stock trading during the same period under consideration, i.e., from June 1, 2004 – May 31, 2005. Also, eligible stocks must not face delisting or have been suspended for an extended period of time, nor may they face a likely suspension,” Mr. Sethaput said.

The first eligible 50 securities will be for the SET50 index calculation. For the SET100 index calculation, the first eligible 100 securities will be used. The five securities that immediately follow after each index’s eligible list will be used as replacements if for some reason a company from an index’s eligible list is dropped.
