Inclusion of foreign issuers with a primary listing in the Swiss Performance

11.04.2008 | from SIX Swiss Exchange AG

11.04.2008, On 5 December 2007, the Index Commission recommended that, subject to certain conditions, issuers domiciled outside Switzerland whose equity securities have a primary listing at SWX Swiss Exchange Limited be included in the Swiss Performance Index (SPI®). The SPI® Family Index Rules have been amended accordingly. Inclusion in the SPI® is subject to the issuer submitting an appropriate application and complying with the reporting obligation set out in Section II below within the prescribed deadlines. Decisions on inclusion in the SPI® are made by the Management Committee of SWX. The Index Commission issues recommendations.

As of the last trading day in February, May, August and November, the issuers as specified in Section I above must submit details about the free float as per Section 2.4.1 of the SPI® Family Index Rules and – as far as possible – about the shareholder structure, using the form provided by SWX on its website. This reporting obligation applies irrespective of the aforementioned months whenever there is a change of at least 10% in absolute terms from the figure last reported.
