---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Against the backdrop of recent share price performance of Volkswagen AG
common shares Deutsche Börse AG decided on Tuesday, 28 October, to
extraordinarily adjust the weightings of the DAX constituents. Thus, the 10
percent capping rule applied on a regular basis on the chaining dates will
be extraordinarily brought forward for Volkswagen shares as per start of
trading next Monday, 3 November. The weighting of Volkswagen shares will
hence be reduced to 10 Percent, if the weighting is above this threshold at
the end of trading on Friday. Per Tuesday close of trading Volkswagen was
weighted with 27 percent.
By capping Volkswagen AG the weightings of all other DAX constituents will
be changed as well. Basis for the rebalancing will be the Xetra closing
price on next Friday, 31 October. The next regular date for adjusting the
index is 22 December.
This adjustment is an extraordinary measure within the framework of the
Guide to Equity Indices.
