The Management Committee of SIX Swiss Exchange has decided to make changes to SIX Swiss Exchange index baskets on the basis of a recommendation from the Index Commission and in compliance with the SMI®, SLI®, SPI®, and SXI® index rules.
The adjustments take into account the merger of Synthes and Johnson & Johnson which, subject to the approval of the US authorities, will result in the delisting of Synthes on SIX Swiss Exchange. The last effective trading day in Synthes equities will probably be 13 June. The indices will be adjusted on 13 June 2012 after closing. The adjustments take effect on 14 June 2012.
