Exchange Notice / index notice

Changes in the selection criterias for the MidCap+ and the SmallCap+ segments 

The changes in the selection criterias for the MidCap+ and the SmallCap+
segments will become effective for the selection of the coming MidCap+ and
SmallCap+ portfolios starting on 2 July 2007. 

The current requirements for the average daily turnover during the reference
period will be changed as stated below: 

MidCap+
To become eligible for the inclusion in the MidCap+ segment, the average daily
turnover during the reference period shall amount to no less than DKK 750,000. 
The requirement for the companies which are already MidCap+ constituents is an
average daily turnover during the reference period of no less than DKK 500,000. 

SmallCap+
To become eligible for the inclusion in SmallCap+ the average daily turnover
during the reference period shall amount to no less than DKK 150,000. 
The requirement for the companies which are already SmallCap+ constituents is
an average daily turnover during the reference period of no less than DKK
100,000. 


Changes in the calculation of the MidCap+ and the SmallCap+ indexes

As of 2 July 2007 the changes in the calculation of MidCap+ and SmallCap+ will
become effective. 

The calculation of the MidCap+ and SmallCap+ indexes will be based on the full
number of outstanding shares in each company. Thus, free float adjusted number
of outstanding shares is no longer applied in the calculation of the indexes. 

 

General information on the MidCap+ and the SmallCap+ segments
The purpose of the plus segments is to boost liquidity in the shares of small
and medium-sized companies. The plus segments will bring focus to the companies
with good liquidity in their shares, which provide detailed information to the
market and by doing so create investor goodwill. The creation of the plus
segments has inspired many small and medium-sized companies to make an extra
effort to support the life of their shares on the exchange, and thereby to get
an entry to either the MidCap+ segment or SmallCap+ segment. 


Rules for the MidCap+ and SmallCap+ segments can be found on our website
www.omxgroup.com/nordicexchange/Omhandlen under “Rules and Regulations”.
