Unscheduled component change made to SDAX

Release date: Sep 19, 2012

Schuler AG to be replaced by SMT Scharf AG on September 24

Deutsche Börse today announced an unscheduled component change to the SDAX. Schuler AG will be replaced by SMT Scharf AG in the index. Due to the takeover of Schuler AG by Andritz Beteiligungsgesellschaft, the company’s free float has dropped below 10 percent, making it ineligible for inclusion in the index.

The adjustment will become effective on 24 September 2012.

The next regular review of the Deutsche Börse equity indices is scheduled for 5 December 2012.
