Methodology Change | SOLACTIVE MLP & ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE INDEX | Effective Date 30/06/2025

Today, on the 15/06/2025, Solactive announces the following changes to the methodology of the following indices (the ‘Affected Indices’):

Rationale for Methodology Change

One of the current Index universe requirements of the Solactive MLP & Energy Infrastructure Index (SOLMLPX) is the “average monthly trading volume of at least 75.000 shares in each of the last six months” for all constituents (Liquidity Criterion) as of Selection Day.

While it is important to ensure sufficient trading volume, the “Average daily traded value in the last three months in USD” already serves as a necessary requirement for this purpose in this index and is also the standard trading volume requirement. The Liquidity Criterion as an additional layer might reduce the starting universe unnecessarily, while the Average Daily Traded Value might be still fulfilled.

Therefore Solactive has decided to remove the Liquidity Criterion from the requirements of the Solactive MLP & Energy Infrastructure Index.

Changes to the Index Guideline

The following Methodology changes in the following points of the Index Guideline will be implemented:

2.1. INDEX UNIVERSE REQUIREMENTS

Removing:

7) Average monthly trading volume of at least 75,000 shares in each of the last six months (“LIQUIDITY CRITERION”)

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.
