STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced adjustments in several STOXX indices. Deutsche Boerse tendered shares (DE000A1KRND6, Financial Services, Germany) in the EURO STOXX 50, STOXX Europe 600, STOXX Global Total Market and the respective sub-indices will be replaced with the original Deutsche Boerse shares (DE0005810055, Financial Services, Germany). This change will be effective with the open of markets on February 8, 2012.
The changes are being announced after a statement issued by Deutsche Börse AG today, stating that the tendered shares will be swapped for regular shares effective on this date. The free-float factor and weight will be unaffected in all STOXX indices.
Deutsche Boerse shares (ISIN DE0005810055) were replaced by the tendered share (ISIN DE000A1KRND6) in the STOXX Indices on July 20, 2011; after the acceptance threshold of at least 75% was reached by the end of the initial tender period for the planned merger of NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse AG. Today’s announcement does not lead to turnover in any of the indices as only the Deutsche Boerse share type is exchanged, but the index composition remains unchanged.
