Changes to the FTSE/ATHEX Index Series

10 July 2012

At the May 2012 meeting of the FTSE/ATHEX Advisory Committee and following feedback from market participants, the committee have agreed a number of changes to structure of the FTSE/ATHEX Index Series, as follows:

Rename the FTSE/ATHEX 20 to FTSE/ATHEX Large Cap Index and also expand its constituents from 20 to 25 to increase liquidity of the blue chip companies of ATHEX

Reduce the number of constituents of the FTSE/ATHEX Mid Cap index from 40 to 20 in order to create a more tradable index encompassing the ATHEX Mid Cap listed companies

Cease calculation of the FTSE/ATHEX Liquid Mid Index

The FTSE/ATHEX Market Index will become a Benchmark Index of the entire ATHEX Market. The constituents of this Index are those of the above mentioned indices plus all securities trading in the ATHEX Main Market fulfilling the eligibility criteria of the Ground Rules

FTSE/ATHEX will launch a new index based on company fundamentals. Stocks selection for this index will be based on a number of fundamental ratios, which are commonly used when performing corporate evaluation. The index will be market cap weighted.

These changes will become effective 3 December 2012.

An updated version of the FTSE/ATHEX Index Series ground rules will be available from December
