The top ranked eligible non-constituents by float-adjusted market capitalization are added to the selection universe until it reaches 40 securities. Constituent Selection. Constituent selection is as follows: 1. Stocks in the selection universe are ranked by each of the following: Float-adjusted market capitalization Sales/revenue Net income 2. For each company, a final rank is calculated by weighting the float-adjusted market capitalization rank at 60%, the sales/revenue rank at 20%, and the net income rank at 20%. 3. The top 20 stocks by final rank are selected as index constituents. 4. During subsequent reviews, selections are subject to buffers that aim to limit index turnover by favoring current constituents: Any non-constituent stock ranked among the top 10 by final rank replaces the lowest-ranked index constituent. Any constituent stock not among the top 30 stocks by final rank is replaced by the highest-ranked non-constituent. Weighting. The index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. Constituents weights may be capped so that one constituent may have a weight of up to 35%, and all other constituents may have weights of up to 20%. Weights are reviewed quarterly.

Quarterly Updates The constituent shares outstanding and cap factors are reviewed and updated quarterly. Changes to a constituent s shares and cap factors as a result of the quarterly updates are implemented after the closing values have been established on the third Friday in March, June, September and December, and are effective at the open of the next trading day. In addition, on a quarterly basis (outside of the annual rebalancing), the selection universe is updated and re-ranked in order to check for possible early entry or removal of securities. Changes to index composition and related weight adjustments are made as soon as they are effective. These changes are typically announced two business days prior to the implementation date. If an eligible company in the selection universe ranks at or above the early entry threshold rank described in the table below, it will replace the lowest-ranked constituent. Otherwise, any company that qualifies for the index will be considered for inclusion at the next annual review. If a current index constituent does not rank at or greater than the early removal threshold rank, it is removed and replaced with the highest-ranked nonconstituent. Index Dow Jones Country Titans Indices Dow Jones Sector Titans Indices Dow Jones Emerging Markets Sector Titans Indices Index Constituent Count Early Entry Threshold Rank Early Removal Threshold Rank 10 3 20 20 5 40 30 10 60 40 10 80 50 20 100 60 20 120 100 20 200 30 10 60 30 10 N/A For the Dow Jones Global Titans 50 Index, constituent stocks with a market capitalization rank greater than 200 at the quarterly update are removed from the index. The company will be replaced by the highest-ranking non-constituent. Constituent stocks with a market capitalization rank greater than 120 for two consecutive quarterly updates are removed from the index. The company will be replaced by the highest-ranking non-constituent. For the Dow Jones Emerging Sector Titans Indices, constituents are subject to minimum average daily trading volume and float market capitalization requirements at the quarterly review. If a constituent does not meet the requirements it will be replaced with the highest ranked non-constituent. If the non-constituents do not meet the requirements, the index s constituent count will fall below the fixed constituent number until a viable non-constituent can be used as a replacement at the next quarterly review. S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 39
Ongoing Maintenance The indices are also reviewed on an ongoing basis to account for corporate events such as mergers, takeovers, delistings or bankruptcies. Changes to index composition and related weight adjustments are made as soon as they are effective. These changes are typically announced two business days prior to the implementation date. Spinoffs and Related Restructurings. Depending on the index, spinoffs are treated as follows: For the indices in the table below, if an index constituent splits or spins off a portion of its business to form one or more new companies, all of the companies involved in the spinoff will be evaluated for index eligibility. If the larger of the parent company or its spinoff would be among the top companies as per the thresholds in the table below, that company takes the place of the pre-spinoff company in the index. Otherwise, the original constituent is replaced by the largest non-constituent. Index Dow Jones Global Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Arabia Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Asian Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Tiger Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Sector Titans Indices Top Company Threshold Top 70 companies Top 35 companies Top 35 companies Top 70 companies Top 40 companies For the Dow Jones Country Titans Indices, if an index constituent is restructured into two or more new companies, the largest new company in terms of market capitalization will be included in the index immediately after the close of trading on the day the restructuring becomes effective, providing it otherwise would be eligible for index membership. If the restructuring involves an index constituent spinning off a portion of its business to form a new company or companies, the parent company, if otherwise eligible for index membership, generally will be retained in the index until the next annual rebalancing. However, there may be situations where a spinoff, due to its size, may be retained in an index instead of the legally surviving parent company. Otherwise, for a new spinoff to qualify for an index, it must pass through the selection processes during the next annual review. Mergers. Mergers can occur between index constituents and between an index constituent and a non-constituent company. If an index constituent merges with another index constituent, their index memberships will be assumed by the new company immediately after the close of trading on the effective date of the merger, providing the new company qualifies for the index. The top-ranked non-constituent will fill the vacancy created by the merger. If the new company does not qualify for the index, then the two original constituents will be replaced by the largest two non-constituents. If an index constituent merges with a non-constituent company, its index membership will be assumed by the new company immediately after the close of trading on the effective date of the merger, providing the new company qualifies S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 40
for the index. If the new company does not qualify for the index, then the original constituent will be replaced by the largest non-constituent. Takeovers. Takeovers can occur between index constituents and between an index constituent and a non-constituent company. If an index constituent is taken over by another constituent, the former is removed from the index immediately after the close of trading on the day the takeover becomes effective. The replacement will be the top-ranked nonconstituent. If an index constituent is taken over by a non-constituent company, the acquiring company will replace its position, providing the acquiring company meets all eligibility criteria. Otherwise, the top-ranked non-constituent will be selected as the replacement. Primary Market Listings. In the event that a constituent company s primary market listing is moved to a different exchange not covered by the index, the company is removed from the index effective immediately (i.e. on the same day the corporate action becomes effective). In such a scenario, it will be replaced by the largest applicable nonconstituent. Delisting and Bankruptcy. If an index constituent is delisted by its primary market, or is in bankruptcy proceedings, it will be removed from the index immediately. Additions Generally no companies are added to an index between annual composition rebalancings except as described in the previous sections, Quarterly Updates and Ongoing Maintenance. Any exceptions to this rule are announced to clients with ample lead time. Deletions Between rebalancings, a company can be deleted from an index due to corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, takeovers, delistings or bankruptcies and as otherwise described in the previous sections, Quarterly Updates and Ongoing Maintenance. Whenever possible, changes in the index s constituents are announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date. If an index constituent is suspended by its primary market, it may be removed from the index at the discretion of the Index Committee. Whenever practicable, S&P Dow Jones Indices will use the best-available alternate pricing source to determine the value at which the company should be removed from the index. S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 41
Quarterly Stock Replacement. For the majority of indices, a replacement stock will be added to the index at the next quarterly update. However, if an index drops 10% or more of its constituents between annual composition rebalancing dates, based on count, the index is reviewed by the Index Committee to determine when replacement stocks are included in the index either immediately with five days advanced notice or as described above. Exceptions to this rule are described below. Immediate Stock Replacement. A replacement stock will be added to the index immediately when a constituent stock is removed for the following indices: Global/Regional Indices: o o o Country Indices: o o o o Dow Jones Global Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Africa Titans 50 TM Dow Jones GCC Titans 40 TM Dow Jones Brazil Titans 20 TM ADR Dow Jones Canada Titans 60 TM Dow Jones South Korea Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Turkey Titans 20 TM Emerging Markets Sector Indices: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Dow Jones Emerging Markets Sector Titans Composite 100 TM Dow Jones Emerging Asia Consumer Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Basic Materials Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Consumer Goods Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Consumer Services Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Consumer Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Financials Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Health Care Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Industrials Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Metals & Mining Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Natural Resources Titans 50 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Oil & Gas Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Technology Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Telecommunications Titans 30 TM Dow Jones Emerging Markets Utilities Titans 30 TM S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 42
Corporate Actions For more information, please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices Corporate Actions Policies & Practices document located under the Resource Center on our Web site, www.spdji.com. Currency of Calculation Please refer to the Appendix I for each index s respective currencies of calculation. Exchange Rate Real-time spot Forex rates, as supplied by Reuters, are used for ongoing index calculation of real-time indices. WM/Reuters foreign exchange rates are taken daily at 4:00 PM London Time (GMT) and used in the end-of-day calculation of the indices. These mid-market fixings are calculated by The WM Company based on Reuters data and appear on Reuters pages WMRA. Base Dates and History Availability Please refer to the Appendix II for history availability, base dates and base values. Investable Weight Factor (IWF) All issues in the Dow Jones Titans Indices are assigned a float factor, called an Investable Weight Factor (IWF). The IWF ranges between 0 and 1 and is an adjustment factor that accounts for the publicly available shares of a company. The company s adjusted market capitalization determines an equity issue s relative weight in the index. Please refer to the S&P Dow Jones Indices Float Methodology document for details. Shares. For more information on shares outstanding changes, please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices Corporate Actions Policies & Procedures document located under the Resource Center on our Web site, www.spdji.com. Other Adjustments In cases where there is no achievable market price for a stock being deleted, it may be removed at a zero or minimal price at the Index Committee s discretion, in recognition of the constraints faced by investors in trading bankrupt or suspended stocks. S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 43
Index Data Total Return Indices Total return index series are calculated for the indices as well as the price return series. Ordinary cash dividends are applied on the ex-date in calculating the total return series. Special dividends are those dividends that are outside of the normal payment pattern established historically by the issuing corporation. These may be described by the corporation as special, extra, year-end, or return of capital. Whether a dividend is funded from operating earnings or from other sources of cash does not affect the determination of whether it is ordinary or special. Special dividends are treated as corporate actions with offsetting price and divisor adjustments; the total return index series reflect both ordinary and special dividends. Net Dividends. Total return index series for the majority of indices reflect the return to an investor where dividends are reinvested after the deduction of a withholding tax. The tax rate applied is the rate to non-resident institutions that do not benefit from double taxation treaties. Gross Dividends. For the following Country Indices, total return index series reflect the return to an investor where gross dividends are reinvested.

Index Governance Index Committee The indices are maintained by an Index Committee. The Index Committee meets regularly. All committee members are full-time professional members of S&P Dow Jones Indices staff. At each meeting, the Index Committee reviews pending corporate actions that may affect index constituents, statistics comparing the composition of the indices to the market, companies that are being considered as candidates for addition to an index, and any significant market events. In addition, the Index Committee may revise index policy covering rules for selecting companies, treatment of dividends, share counts or other matters. S&P Dow Jones Indices considers information about changes to its indices and related matters to be potentially market moving and material. Therefore, all Index Committee discussions are confidential.

Any unusual treatment of a corporate action or short notice of an event may be communicated via email to clients. Press releases are posted on our Web site, www.spdji.com, and are released to major news services. Index methodology is constantly under review for best practices, and any changes are announced well ahead of time via the Web site and email to all clients. Pro-forma Files In addition to the corporate events file (.SDE), S&P Dow Jones Indices provides constituent proforma files each time the indices rebalance. The proforma file is typically provided daily five business days in advance of the rebalancing date and contains all constituents and their corresponding weights and index shares effective for the upcoming rebalancing. Since index shares are assigned based on prices one week prior to the rebalancing, the actual weight of each stock at the rebalancing differs from these weights due to market movements. Please visit the S&P Dow Jones Indices Resource Center for a complete schedule of rebalancing timelines and proforma delivery times at www.spdji.com. Holiday Schedule The Dow Jones Titans Indices are calculated daily, throughout the calendar year. The only days an index is not calculated are on days when all exchanges where an index s constituents are listed are officially closed or if WM Reuters exchange rates services are not published. A complete holiday schedule for the year is available on the S&P Dow Jones Indices Web site at www.spdji.com. S&P Dow Jones Indices: Dow Jones Titans Indices Methodology 46
Unscheduled Market Closures In situations where an exchange is forced to close early due to unforeseen events, such as computer or electric power failures, weather conditions or other events, S&P Dow Jones Indices calculates the closing price of the indices based on (1) the closing prices published by the exchange, or (2) if no closing price is available, the last regular trade reported for each stock before the exchange closed. In all cases, the prices are from the primary exchange for each stock in the index. If an exchange fails to open due to unforeseen circumstances, the index uses the prior day s closing prices. If all exchanges fail to open, S&P Dow Jones Indices may determine not to publish the index for that day. Recalculation Policy S&P Dow Jones Indices reserves the right to recalculate an index under certain limited circumstances. S&P Dow Jones Indices may choose to recalculate and republish an index if it is found to be incorrect or inconsistent within two trading days of the publication of the index level in question for one of the following reasons: 1. Incorrect or revised closing price 2. Missed corporate event 3. Late announcement of a corporate event 4. Incorrect application of corporate action or index methodology Any other restatement or recalculation of an index is only done under extraordinary circumstances to reduce or avoid possible market impact or disruption as solely determined by the Index Committee. For more information on the recalculation policy please refer to S&P Dow Jones Indices Corporate Actions Policies & Practices Index Methodology document located under the Resource Center on our Web site, www.spdji.com. Real-Time Calculation Real-time, intra-day, index calculations are executed for certain indices, whenever any of their primary exchanges are open. Real-time indices are not restated.
