Busiess Days are defied as days o which he New York Sock Exchage (NYSE) is ope for busiess. A commiee composed of saff from Solacive AG (he Idex Commiee ) is resposible for amedmes o he rules ad he Idex Admiisraor is resposible for decisios regardig he composiio of he Idex.

The fuure composiio of he Idex is se by he Idex Calculaio Age o he Selecio Days (as defied herei). The Idex Calculaio Age also makes decisios regardig he fuure composiio of he Idex if ay Exraordiary Eves (as defied herei) should occur ad he implemeaio of ay ecessary adjusmes.

Idex Calculaio ad Publicaio Solacive AG ( Solacive ) serves as he Idex Admiisraor ad Calculaio Age. The price of he Idex is calculaed o each Busiess Day based o bid prices provided by Ieracive Daa or ay appoied successor for he Idex compoes ( Idex Compoes ). The mos rece prices of all Idex Compoes are used. The Idex is calculaed every Busiess Day aroud 4:45 pm New York ime. Coupos are reivesed o he respecive ex rebalacig day. Deusche Bak marke makers ad Reuers/EJV oher hird pary pricig sources are also used i he verificaio process ad also used whe prices from he primary sources are uavailable for a paricular bod ad dae.
