Methodology Change | E-Mobilität Wasserstoff Index | Effective Date 04th May 2020

Today, on the 30^th April 2020, Solactive AG announces the following change to the methodology of the following index (‘Affected Index’):

Rationale for methodology change

Solactive has determined that where the Affected Index is used as underlying for financial instruments, considerable basis risks may arise, especially in cases where hedging transactions for financial instruments have to be carried out after the close of trading on some of the exchanges represented in the Index. This risk can be observed in particular for financial instruments with a daily constant leverage (or factor).

The Index is currently calculated every day from 09:00 a.m. to 10:50 p.m., CET. In order to ensure that the index can be used as an underlying for financial instruments with a daily constant leverage (or factor) Solactive has decided to adjust the Calculation Days and Business Days for the Index and to follow holiday calendar of the London Stock Exchange.
