Regular Deutsche Börse share again included in the DAX

Changes will be effective on 8 February
February 2, 2012--Deutsche Börse has today announced changes in the DAX index. Deutsche Börse AG’s tendered share class (ISIN DE000A1KRND6) is to be replaced in the DAX with the original Deutsche Börse AG share class (ISIN DE0005810055). The changes will be effective on 8 February 2012 and are a result of today’s announcement on the reversal of the transaction between Deutsche Börse and NYSE Euronext due to the prohibition of the merger by the EU Commission.

The Deutsche Börse share (ISIN DE0005810055) was replaced in the DAX on 20 July 2011 by the Deutsche Börse AG tendered share class (ISIN DE000A1KRND6). Due to the reversal of the transaction, the tendered share class is now to be replaced by the regular Deutsche Börse share in accordance with the framework for the equity indices concerning regulations for mergers of index members, as Deutsche Börse announced on 6 June 2011. No adjustment will be made to the free float factor or weighting of the share in the index, nor does the change affect the composition of the DAX index.

Deutsche Boerse tendered shares replaced by original Deutsche Boerse shares in STOXX

February 2, 2012-STOXX Limited, the market-moving provider of innovative, tradable and global index concepts, today announced adjustments in several STOXX indices. Deutsche Boerse tendered shares (DE000A1KRND6, Financial Services, Germany) in the EURO STOXX 50, STOXX Europe 600, STOXX Global Total Market and the respective sub-indices will be replaced with the original Deutsche Boerse shares (DE0005810055, Financial Services, Germany). This change will be effective with the open of markets on February 8, 2012.

The changes are being announced after a statement issued by Deutsche Börse AG today, stating that the tendered shares will be swapped for regular shares effective on this date.

The free-float factor and weight will be unaffected in all STOXX indices.

Deutsche Boerse shares (ISIN DE0005810055) were replaced by the tendered share (ISIN DE000A1KRND6) in the STOXX Indices on July 20, 2011; after the acceptance threshold of at least 75% was reached by the end of the initial tender period for the planned merger of NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Börse AG. Today’s announcement does not lead to turnover in any of the indices as only the Deutsche Boerse share type is exchanged, but the index composition remains unchanged.
