Today, Deutsche Börse AG has updated its scenario calculation for the future weightings of the DAX® index.
Reason for the adjustment is the change in the free float of the Volkswagen ordinary shares. Yesterday, Credit Suisse Group reported the purchase of 5,574% of the ordinary Volkswagen shares. As a result, the free float of the Volkswagen ordinary shares falls to 14.506 from previously 20.08 percent. There are no further changes in the scenario calculation.
The new weights in the index will apply as of Monday 21 September 2009. The final weighting based on Friday’s Xetra closing prices will be published on the Deutsche Börse website on Saturday.
