SWX: Tamedia AG To Remain In The SPI

Contrary to the message of 2 September 2002, the securities of Tamedia AG (ISIN CH0011178255) will not be excluded from the SPI. This was decided by the SWX Swiss Exchange. The independent auditors confirm in a report that the relevant free float value for calculating the index is greater than the SWX had expected on the basis of the available information. According to the report, the majority shareholders who are party to a shareholder agreement own more than 76.09% of the shares of Tamedia AG. This means that the free float of Tamedia AG equals 23.91%. The required minimum of 20% is therefore met, and the securities of Tamedia AG will remain in the SPI.
