Regarding the outcome of the review of the AScX it is noted that a constituent, HES Beheer N.V., is subject of a takeover offer (offer periods ends after close of business of Wednesday 17 September 2014) that might be declared unconditional shortly before the effective date of the review. In case the offer on HES Beheer is declared unconditional before the opening of the market on Friday 19 September, the company will be removed from the AScX after the close of business of Friday 19 September 2014 and Crown Van Gelder N.V. will be included in the AScX. If the offer on HES Beheer is declared unconditional after the opening of the market of Friday 19 September 2014, the normal procedure for removing a stock following an offer will be applied (article 6.2.1 of the rule book). Replacement of the removed stock will then take place at the December review.
The compiler of the indices retains the right to change the published selection above in connection with any mergers, takeovers, suspension or resumption of trading during the period before the effective date of the annual review.
Review AEX family
The AEX family is reviewed quarterly (March, June, September, December). The full annual review is in March. The June, September and December reviews serve to include new entrants in case the index consists of less than the standard number of constituents and to facilitate inclusion of highly ranked non- constituents, for example recently listed companies.
