Changes to the Index Guideline
The following Methodology changes will be implemented:
- Change of language from German to English and update of format
- Solactive AG becomes Administrator of the indices, which are already calculated by Solactive AG. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung GmbH remains the owner of the Index Family
- The „F.A.Z.-Index-Komitee” will be replaced by Solactive AG as administrator with reference to the update guideline
- Determination of the index weights as part of the ordinary index adjustment is based on the data as of selection day
- Ordinary capital measures and extraordinary events, e.g. stock market delistings as part of a takeover, are implemented by Solactive AG in accordance with the Solactive Equity Index methodology.
