Index Committee of the Moscow Stock Exchange has taken the decision to adjust base for calculation of indices at MICEX and RTS, Lenta.ru reported citing a press release by the stock exchange. MICEX index has included 20 more stocks from the waiting list. These stocks include ordinary and privileged shares of Bashneft, ordinary shares of fertilizers manufacturer Akron, Diksi supermarkets, ALROSA diamond mining company, OGK-2, VSMPO-AVISMA Corporation, and some others.
Meanwhile, none of the stocks listed at MICEX will be excluded from the above list. Therefore, the index will be calculated based on 50 stocks rather than 30 stocks (previously).
The changes will also affect RTS index which will be supplemented by ALROSA and Sollers stocks. The index will further exclude ordinary shares of Bank Saint-Petersburg and privileged shares of TNK BP Holding.
RTS-2 Index is reported to face principal adjustment.
Several securities included to the new lists of indices of the Moscow Stock Exchange will be subject to revaluation of factors defining the share of stocks in free-floating.
The new structure of stock indices calculation and their parameters will be valid from 18 December, 2012.
