Methodology Change | Solactive Europe and United States Technology 30/70 Index | Effective Date 28/11/2023

On November 22nd, 2023, Solactive announces the following changes to the methodology of the following indices (the ‘Affected Indices’), effective November 28th, 2023:

Rationale for Methodology Change

Solactive has determined that holiday calendar of the Affected Indices will be changed from ‘Monday to Friday’ to ‘EUREX’ and ‘NYSE’ holidays in order to improve the tradability.  As the Affected Indices have underlying trading in Europe and America and rebalance every day, unfavorable situation might exist where an index is rebalancing when an underlying is not trading. This might lead to lower tradability and replication of the indices.

Changes to the Index Guidiines

The following changes will be implemented in the following points of the Index Guideline:

Update to the section:

6. DEFINITIONS

From (old version):

“CALCULATION DAY” is every weekday from Monday to Friday..

To (new version):

Defined terms used in this announcement, but not defined herein, have the meaning assigned to them in the respective index guideline of the Affected Indices. The amended version of the index guideline will be available on the effective date.
