Following the trading session on July 21, 2004, shares of company BAUMA will be removed from the WIRR index portfolio.

The company’s free float is equal to 2,61% and no longer meets criteria of above mentioned index.

As the result, following July 21, 2004, there will be 58 companies in the WIRR portfolio.

The Warsaw Stock Exchange computes 12 different indices, including WIG20 (blue-chip companies), MIDWIG (mid-cap companies) and TechWIG (innovative technologies companies), which are underlying instruments for futures contracts. Other indices: WIG (main market companies), WIRR (small companies) and WIG-PL (main market domestic companies) are all-share benchmark indices.
All the WSE index selection criteria are based on free float, liquidity and observance of corporate governance.
