INFRAX Ifrasrucure Idex Page 8 The formula se ou below is euivale i aalyic erms: it i KT 100 c i i1 i1 Idex Base 1- MF T 100 i1 i1 i Fi i1 Base 1- MF A T whereby: A i1 i1 100 ad: F i K T i1 it 100 c i Idex calculaio ca be reroduced i simlified erms by usig he exressio F i : Mulily he curre rice by he resecive F i weighig facor; ake he sum of hese roducs; ad divide his by he base value (A) which remais cosa uil a modificaio i he idex comosiio occurs. The F i facors rovide iformaio o he umber of shares/adrs/gdrs reuired from each comay o rack he uderlyig idex orfolio. 2.2 Comuaioal Accuracy The K T chaiig facors are used ad ublished as figures rouded o seve decimal laces. The c i adjusme facors are icluded i he idex formula o he basis of six decimal laces. I he eve of several adjusme eves coicidig, such as ex-divided ad ex subscriio righ markdows o he same day, oly oe sigle adjusme facor (six decimal laces) is comued usig he oal markdow. Where several adjusme eves are reuired for a sigle share/adr/gdr bu a differe imes, he facors rouded ha way are mulilied by each oher, ad he roduc is rouded o six decimal laces agai. Whe deermiig he c i adjusme facor for subscriio righs, he righs value is used as a figure wih wo decimal laces. Oly i he case of a caial icrease ou of comay reserves, such righs
INFRAX Ifrasrucure Idex Page 9 value is o rouded a all. If a divided disadvaage has o be roraed (e.g. for 3 mohs), he value of such disadvaage used for idex calculaio is rouded o wo decimal laces. The idices are rouded o wo decimal laces ad ublished accordigly. The F i facors are rouded o five decimal laces ad ublished accordigly, chagig wih each isrume-secific adjusme. 2.3 Idex correcio olicies The correcio of a idex yically resuls from oe of wo scearios: ieral calculaio errors 2.3.1 Ieral errors exeral calculaio errors idex arameer values If Deusche Börse AG becomes aware of ieral idex calculaio errors wihi a radig day, iraday values of he resecive idex are correced for ha secific day, if echically feasible ad ecoomically reasoable. Iraday values, which are o deeced wihi he same radig day are o correced bu will reroacively be flagged as ivalid. If here are deviaios ha are cosidered sigifica by Deusche Börse AG, idex close values also will be correced reroacively, if echically feasible ad ecoomically reasoable. 2.3.2 Exeral errors Calculaio errors ha are based o icorrec exeral daa are correced as soo as ossible, if echically feasible ad ecoomically reasoable. If here are deviaios ha are cosidered sigifica by Deusche Börse AG, idex close values will also be correced reroacively, if echically feasible ad ecoomically reasoable. Iraday values ha are o correced will reroacively be flagged as ivalid. 2.3.3 Correcio of idex arameer values All idex arameers ha are ublished by Deusche Börse AG i he coex of he chaiig rocess are oly correced or adjused a he subseue rebalacig dae. This rule alies regardless of whe Deusche Börse AG became aware of facs ha would chage he idex arameer values durig he chaiig rocess. 2.4 Adjusmes The idices of Deusche Börse are adjused for exogeous iflueces (e.g. rice-releva caial chages) by meas of cerai correcio facors, assumig a reivesme accordig o he oéraio blache.
