SUMMARYOFCHANGESFORTHEREGIONALANDCOUNTRYINDEXES
At SAIRs, after the new Market SizeSegment Cutoffs and the Segment Number of
Companieshavebeendetermined,currentInvestableMarketIndex(IMI)constituentsand
newly eligible companies are assigned to the SizeSegment Indexes based on the Market
SizeSegment Cutoffs and using buffer zones. The buffer zones at SAIRs are defined with
boundaries of 33% and +50% of the Market SizeSegment Cutoff between two size
segments. For the Small Cap segment, an entry buffer zone is defined at +50% of the IMI
Market SizeSegment Cutoff to avoid the addition of an excessively large number of small
companiestotheIndexes.
In addition, once companies are assigned to each sizesegment, conformity with the Final
SizeSegmentInvestabilityRequirementsisassessed,bothfornewandexistingconstituents.
SizeSegmentinvestabilityrequirementsincluderequirementsinfreefloatadjustedmarket
