Thai Bourse Announces Constituents In SET50 And SET100 Indexes Effective Jan. 1, 2006

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) announced that the SET’s Index Committee has selected the securities to be included in the calculations of the SET50 and the SET100 indexes for the period 6M/2006 (i.e., January 1 – June 30, 2006). There will be 6 and 16 changes in the calculations of the SET50 and the SET100 indexes, respectively.

To be considered as eligible securities, the companies’ trading values on the main board have been compared to the average per stock trading value during the period under consideration, i.e., from December 1, 2004 – November 30, 2005. Also, eligible stocks must not be subject to delisting or have been suspended for an extended period of time, nor may they face a likely suspension.

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

The first eligible 50 securities will be used in the SET50 index calculation, while for the SET100 index, 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.
