FTSE UK Index Series Quarterly Review September 2018

• No changes to the FTSE 100
• Four changes to the FTSE 250

FTSE Russell, the global index provider, confirms today that there are no changes to the FTSE 100 Index as a result of the September 2018 quarterly review.

The rules-driven, impartial quarterly reviews ensure the indexes continue to portray an accurate reflection of the market they represent, and form an essential component to the management of the indexes.

The FTSE 250 Index will see the following changes (in alphabetical order), in addition to the amendments described above.

FTSE Russell operates a reserve list for the FTSE 100 Index, to be used in the event of a corporate action occurring between reviews e.g. merger, acquisition, delisting or suspension. In such cases, the reserve list constituent with the largest market capitalisation (on the date of the corporate action) will replace the outgoing constituent. With immediate effect, the following reserve list for FTSE 100 will be used:

• Spirax-Sarco Engineering
• Wood Group (John)
• Hiscox
• Hikma Pharmaceuticals
• JD Sports Fashion
• Weir Group

All changes from this review will be implemented at the close of business on Friday, 21 September 2018 and take effect from the start of trading on Monday, 24 September 2018.
