Calculation The calculation of the indices employ the Laspeyres formula, which measures price changes against a fixed base quantity weight:STOXX Calculation Guide December 2022

where: vcc:FdDF t = Time the index is computed n = Number of companies in the index pit = Price of company (i) at time (t) sit = Number of shares of company (i) at time (t) ffit = Free-float factor of company (i) at time (t) cfit = Weighting cap factor of company (i) at time (t) xit = Exchange rate from local currency into index currency for company (i) at time (t) Mt = Free-float market capitalization of the index at time (t) Dt = Divisor of the index at time (t)

Changes in weights due to corporate actions are distributed proportionally across all index components. The index divisors, which is adjusted to maintain the continuity of the values of the index across changes due to corporate actions, are calculated as follows:

where ΔMCt+1 = The difference between the closing market capitalization of the index and the adjusted closing market capitalization of the index: for companies with corporate actions effective at time (t+1), the free-float market capitalization is calculated with adjusted closing prices, the new number of shares at time (t+1) and the free-float factor at time (t+1) minus the free-float market capitalization calculated with closing prices, number of shares at time (t) and free-float factor at time (t).

Buffers are used to achieve the fixed number of components and to maintain stability of the indices by reducing index composition changes. Selection methodology ensures a stable and up-to-date index composition. Fast-entry and fast-exit rules ensure the index accurately represents the performance of only the biggest and most liquid stocks. Composition The composition of EURO STOXX 50 is reviewed annually in September. The index is available in several currency (EUR, USD, CAD, GBP, JPY) and return (Price, Net Return, Gross Return) variant combinations. Calculation takes place every 15 seconds between 09:00 CET and 18:00 CET for the EUR and USD variants of any return type, while the CAD, GBP and JPY variants are available as end-of-day calculation only (18:00 CET). The EURO STOXX 50 Index is derived from the 19 EURO STOXX regional Supersector indices. , the most countries with most companies represented are France (representing 34.2% of all total assets) and Germany (30.7%).
