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):

  • Section 1.4.: The methodology has been updated to clarify the treatment of delayed SOFR publication. If the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is unavailable on a calculation day due to a holiday or delay, the index level will be calculated using the most recently available SOFR. Once the delayed rate is published, the index level will be recalculated if the published rate differs from the rate initially used. This ensures consistency in index calculation during exceptional cases. Other aspects of the methodology, including fallback rules for missing closing prices, remain unchanged.
  • Section 3.1.: The definition of the interest rate has been updated to address cases of delayed publication of the interest rate referencing to Section 1.4.

Defined terms used in this announcement, but not defined herein, have the meaning assigned to them in the respective index guideline of the Affected Indices. The amended version of the index guideline will be available on the effective date.
