About the Market Cap Segments

Companies belong to a market cap segment (Small-, Mid- and Large Cap) based on
their average market value during the given review month. Each segment is
reviewed annually based on the average market cap in November with adjustments
taking effect in January the following year. The market cap calculations are
based on the total number of shares, i.e. both listed and non-listed shares, of
a company. Companies with a market value exceeding EUR 1 billion are in the
group of "Large Cap", while companies with a market value smaller than EUR 150
million belong to "Small Cap". Companies with a market value between EUR 150
million and EUR 1 billion belong to the "Mid Cap" segment. 

12 month transitional period

Companies whose market cap has moved outside the reference values for their
current classification are moved between segments according to the following
rule: If their market cap is less than 50 percent of the minimum or more than
150 percent of the maximum threshold of their current segments they are
transferred into a new segment with immediate effect. On the other hand, if
their market cap is greater than 50 percent of the minimum or less than 150
percent of the maximum threshold of their current segment they are subject to a
transitional period and thus one more review before transferring into a new
segment. Hence, based on the EUR 1 billion Large Cap and EUR 150 million Mid
Cap thresholds, a Large Cap company whose market cap value has not fallen below
EUR 500 million, and a Mid-cap company whose market cap value has not fallen
below EUR 75 million, are subject to a second review before moving down to the
new segment. Similarly, a Mid Cap company whose market cap value has not
exceeded EUR 1.5 billion and a Small-cap company whose market cap value has not
exceeded EUR 225 million, are subject to a second review before moving up to
the new segment.
