Changes made to the blue-chip index series are being announced today after the conclusion of the regular annual review. The review is based on the blue-chip rules published on www.stoxx.com using the September 2010 blue-chip selection lists. The selection lists are based on the stocks in the corresponding STOXX Europe 600 Index, EURO STOXX Index, STOXX Nordic Index, STOXX EU Enlarged Total Market Index (TMI), STOXX Eastern Europe Sub Balkan Total Market Index (TMI), STOXX Eastern Europe 300 Index and their free-float market capitalization as of August 31, 2010. The component selection lists that are used for the 2010 annual STOXX blue-chip index review are based on the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB).
The underlying component data – new numbers of shares and free-float factors – will be announced on September 15, 2010 and reflect all corporate actions effective before the above changes are implemented on the third Friday of September (September 17).
