Update

Section 6 – DEFINITIONS

Since the Affected Indices will not rebalance at the same time as the Solactive GBS United States All Cap Index NTR, the use of Eligible Rebalance Day will no longer apply to the Affected Indices. Eligible Rebalance Day refers to trading days on NYSE and other non-US exchanges. Therefore, Trading Day will be used instead in the Rebalance Day definition of the Affected Indices.

Old version:

“REBALANCE DAY” is the first Wednesday in February, May, August and November. If that day is not an ELIGIBLE REBALANCE DAY the REBALANCE DAY will be the immediately following ELIGIBLE REBALANCE DAY.

Version announced on 21.09.2021:

“REBALANCE DAY” is the last Business Day in January, April, July and October. If that day is not an ELIGIBLE REBALANCE DAY the REBALANCE DAY will be the immediately preceding ELIGIBLE REBALANCE DAY.

New version:

“REBALANCE DAY” is the last Business Day in January, April, July and October. If that day is not a TRADING DAY the REBALANCE DAY will be the immediately preceding TRADING DAY.
