Rationale for Methodology Change
Solactive has determined that the proposed changes to the affected indices better reflect the weighting implementation logic outlined within the index methodologies by allowing for excess weights from the weighting scheme to flow through to all index components before the weight floor of 0.3% is applied to index components that fall below the minimum Free-Float Market Capitalization weight of 0.3%.
Changes to the Index Guideline
The following Methodology changes will be implemented in the following points of the Index Guideline (ordered in accordance with the numbering of the affected sections):
- Weighting of the Index Components
From:
(…)
- The maximum weight of an Index Component is 12%.
- The minimum weight of an Index Component is 0.3%.
- The aggregate weight of the Index Components listed on a Russian stock exchange cannot exceed 15% of the index weight.
- The aggregate weight of the Index Components weighted above 4.5% is capped at 48%. The remaining companies are capped at 4.5%.
- The aggregate weight of Pre-Revenue and Diversified companies cannot exceed 15% of the index weight, and the maximum weight of a Pre-Revenue or Diversified company is 4%.
(…)
To:
(…)
- The maximum weight of an Index Component is 12%.

- The aggregate weight of the Index Components weighted above 4.5% is capped at 48%. The remaining companies are capped at 4.5%.
- The aggregate weight of Pre-Revenue and Diversified companies cannot exceed 15% of the index weight, and the maximum weight of a Pre-Revenue or Diversified company is 4%.
- The minimum weight of an Index Component is 0.3%.
