The Independent Supervisor retains the right to change the published selection, for instance in the case of a removal due to a takeover, until the publication of the final data after close of Wednesday 13 March 2024.
All events happening after that date will not lead to a replacement of the selected company that possibly needs to be removed from the final selection.
Changes to the BEL 20 minimum Free Float Velocity criteria per June 2024 Review
A consultation took place in January and February 2024 on the Free Float Velocity criteria applicable for the BEL 20 Index. As a result of the consultation, Euronext will lower the Free Float Velocity threshold for current constituents to remain eligible for Index inclusion from 25% to 15%. For companies currently not included in the BEL 20 Index, the Free Float Velocity threshold will be lowered from 35% to 25%. No changes are made to the Free Float Velocity thresholds of the BEL Mid and BEL Small Indices.
