Methodology Change | Solactive Future Energy ESG Index | Effective Date 08/10/2025

Today, on the 24/09/2025, Solactive announces the following changes to the methodology of the following Indices (the ‘Affected Indices’):

Rationale for Methodology Change

Solactive has determined that:

The proposed guideline change introduces a relaxation rule to the capping methodology, ensuring that a feasible weighting scheme can always be achieved. Under the current approach, stock-level caps may prevent the weights from summing to 100%, making the scheme infeasible in certain cases. By allowing the denominator to be reduced iteratively, the revised methodology guarantees a long-term solution to always find a weighting scheme.

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 2.3 WEIGHTING OF THE INDEX COMPONENTS

NEW TEXT:

If, after applying the maximum weight constraint described above, the resulting weights cannot be scaled to sum up to 100%, the denominator used in the weighting calculation will be reduced iteratively in steps of EUR 50,000,000 until a feasible weighting scheme is reached. The adjustment process will be carried out at the discretion of the Index Administrator.

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.
