Changes are being announced today after the conclusion of a regular quarterly component review. The adjusted component weightings, including the number of shares and free-float factors, will be announced on June 14, 2013 after the close of markets. All changes will be effective as of the open of markets on June 24, 2013. In the case of upcoming mergers and acquisitions occurring until the final implementation date, the composition of the indices may change.
