S&P Dow Jones Indices: S&P Next Emerging 40 Index Methodology 5 Index Maintenance Rebalancing The index is rebalanced annually in December. The annual rebalancing is effective after the market close of the third Friday of December. The reference date for the data used in the review is the close of the third Friday of November. New constituents and index shares are made available to clients five business days prior to the rebalancing date. In addition to the annual rebalancing, there is a mid-year review. A mid-year rebalancing occurs only if three of the 30 largest stocks from the eligible universe are not in the index during the mid-year review. In the event the condition above is met during the mid-year review, a full rebalancing is performed on the impacted index. In that situation, new constituents and index shares are made available five business days prior to the rebalancing date. There is no semi-annual rebalancing in years when this condition is not satisfied. The reference date for the data used in the mid-year review is the third Friday of May. Pricing reference data and index shares used in the weight calculations are from the close of the business day prior to the delivery of the first pro-forma file. Pro-forma files are generally published five business days prior to the rebalancing effective date. Additions. Except for spin-offs, companies can only be added to an index at the time of the rebalancing. Deletions. Between rebalancings, a company can be deleted from the S&P Next Emerging 40 due to corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, takeovers or delistings. Corporate Actions Divisor Corporate Action Adjustment made to Index Adjustment? Spin-off All spinoffs are added to the index at a zero price and are reassessed at the subsequent rebalancing.

In the event there are no regular cash dividends on the ex-date, the daily performance of all three indices will be identical.

Trading Frictions and Market Structure: An Empirical Analysis Abstract Market structure a¤ects the informational and real frictions faced by traders in equity markets. We present evidence which suggests that while real fric- tions associated with the costs of supplying immediacy are less in order driven systems, informational frictions resulting from increased adverse selection risk are considerably higher in these markets. Firm value, transaction size and order location are all major determinants of the trading costs faced by investors. Consistent with the stealth trading hypothesis of Barclay and Warner (1993), we report that informational frictions are at their highest for small trades which go through the order book. Finally, while there is no doubt that the total costs of trading on order-driven systems are lower for very liquid securities, the inherent informational ine¢ ciencies of the format should be not be ignored. This is particularly true for the vast majority of small to mid-size stocks that experience infrequent trading and low transac- tion volume. JEL Classi…cation: G12; G14; D23; L22.

  • Reverse Stock Split Faq
    REVERSE STOCK SPLIT FAQ 1 What is a reverse stock split? A reverse stock split involves replacing, by exchange, a certain number of old shares (in the present case, 20) for one new share, without altering the amount of the company's capital. In practice such an operation creates the following mechanical effects: - the number of new shares in circulation on the market is reduced proportionally to the exchange ratio (several old shares are transformed into one new share); - the par value, and as a consequence, the market price, of each new share are raised proportionally to the exchange ratio. What is the goal of this reverse stock split? The reverse stock split forms part of Soitec’s desire to support its renewed profitable growth momentum, having refocused on its core electronics business. Moreover, the reverse stock split may reduce the volatility of the price of Soitec share caused by its current low price level. What is the proposed exchange ratio for this reverse stock split? The exchange ratio is 1 for 20. In other words, one new share with par value of €2.00 will be exchanged for 20 old shares with par value of €0.10. Why was this 1:20 ratio chosen? This exchange ratio has been chosen for the purpose of positioning the new shares in the average of the values of the shares listed on Euronext. When will the reverse stock split be effective? In accordance with the notice published in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires on 23 December 2016, the reverse stock split will take effect on 8 February 2017, i.e.

    The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets An International Perspective FINAL PROJECT REPORT This Report should be cited as: Foresight: The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets (2012) Final Project Report The Government Office for Science, London The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets An International Perspective This Report is intended for: Policy makers, legislators, regulators and a wide range of professionals and researchers whose interest relate to computer trading within financial markets. This Report focuses on computer trading from an international perspective, and is not limited to one particular market. Foreword Well functioning financial markets are vital for everyone. They support businesses and growth across the world. They provide important services for investors, from large pension funds to the smallest investors. And they can even affect the long-term security of entire countries. Financial markets are evolving ever faster through interacting forces such as globalisation, changes in geopolitics, competition, evolving regulation and demographic shifts. However, the development of new technology is arguably driving the fastest changes. Technological developments are undoubtedly fuelling many new products and services, and are contributing to the dynamism of financial markets. In particular, high frequency computer-based trading (HFT) has grown in recent years to represent about 30% of equity trading in the UK and possible over 60% in the USA. HFT has many proponents. Its roll-out is contributing to fundamental shifts in market structures being seen across the world and, in turn, these are significantly affecting the fortunes of many market participants. But the relentless rise of HFT and algorithmic trading (AT) has also attracted considerable controversy and opposition.

  • Stock Split Quick Tips
    Stock Splits Quick tip This “Quick tip” highlights how stock splits affect grants received through your company’s equity awards program. (Please refer to your official plan documents for the specific terms of your awards.) What is a stock split? A stock split is when a company issues additional shares of its stock to current stockholders. With a 2-for-1 stock split, for example, current shareholders receive one additional share for each share they hold as of the record date. When a company splits its stock, it has more shares outstanding. But its market value does not increase, as the price of its stock (after the split) reflects those additional shares. In the case of a 2-for-1 stock split, the stock price after the split would be half the price before the split (not including any normal market fluctuations). Generally, a company will split its stock to make its stock price appear more affordable to individual investors, as the share price after the split will be lower than before the split. How a stock split affects equity awards A stock split does not directly affect the potential value of any equity awards received through your company’s plan. However, both the grant price of a stock option and the number of stock options (or other awards) will be adjusted to reflect the split. This adjustment is made automatically; there is nothing you need to do. Here’s a stock option example, using a 2-for-1 stock split. Here’s a restricted award example, again using a 2-for-1 stock The number of options is adjusted upwards and the grant split.

  • 2006-Stock-Split.Pdf
    Wells Fargo & Company Stock Split: Investor Q&A On June 27, 2006, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a two-for-one stock split of our common stock in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend. (https://www.wellsfargo.com/wf/press/20060627_stocksplit?year=2006). We will distribute the stock dividend on August 11, 2006, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 4, 2006. Stockholders will receive one additional share of common stock for each share they owned of record at the close of business on the August 4 record date. We will issue the new shares in book-entry form, without stock certificates, under our Direct Registration System (DRS) for our common stock. To assist stockholders with their understanding of the stock split, we have provided answers to the following frequently asked questions: Q. What is a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend? A. A 100 percent stock dividend means that each stockholder will receive one additional share of Wells Fargo common stock for each share owned of record at the close of business on the record date for the stock dividend. Following distribution of the stock dividend, the stock price will be reduced by one-half on the New York Stock Exchange, so the overall value of a stockholder’s investment is not changed by the stock split. For example: If you own 100 shares of Wells Fargo common stock at the close of business on August 4, 2006 and the market price is $66/share, the total value of your investment is $6,600.

  • NVIDIA 2021 Stock Split Frequently Asked Questions What Did NVIDIA
    NVIDIA 2021 Stock Split Frequently Asked Questions What did NVIDIA announce? We announced a four-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend, making NVIDIA stock ownership more accessible to all. Did the stockholders approve the increase in authorized shares? Yes, stockholders approved the increase in authorized shares during the June 3, 2021, annual meeting. What is a four-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend? A stock dividend is a common way to implement a stock split. On the distribution date, holders of the company’s common stock will receive three shares for each share they hold as of the record date. The result will be a stock split where what was once one share is now four shares, and the trading price will be divided by four. Example: Pre-Split Post-Split As of July 20, 2021 Shares held 100 shares 400 shares Shares are multiplied by 4 Share price $600 per share $150 per share Share price is divided by 4 $$ value $60,000 $60,000 Total value remains equal Why is NVIDIA doing a stock split? The stock split is intended to make stock ownership more accessible to investors and employees, thus increasing liquidity in the stock. The trading price of the company’s common stock has appreciated significantly in recent years. In addition, the company grants equity awards to attract, retain and motivate the company’s new and existing employees. The company believes that the stock price appreciation and the associated reduction in the number of shares of stock provided in equity grants has reduced the perceived attractiveness of employee equity awards, as well as limited an employee’s ability to hold and retain equity on a post-tax basis.

  • Notification Concerning Stock Split of Our Common Stock
    May 12, 2021 To all shareholders: TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION Notification Concerning Stock Split of Our Common Stock We hereby notify you of a five-for-one stock split of shares of our common stock (for shareholders as of September 30, 2021). Minimum investment amount Note 1 in common stock will be reduced, enabling investments in smaller amounts. (Although the number of shares of common stock held will increase five-fold, the total value of the shares of common stock held (market value) immediately after the stock split is theoretically expected to remain about the same Note 2.) Note 1: It refers to the minimum amount for which shares of our common stock can be purchased and sold in the stock market. Note 2: Although it is assumed that the share price will be adjusted to 1/5 of the price before the split from September 29, 2021, the actual share price will be based on the share price trends after the stock split. <Frequently Asked Questions> Q1. What is the purpose of implementing a stock split of common stock? The purpose is to reduce the minimum investment amount (see below) through a stock split of shares of common stock, increase the liquidity of the stock, and create an environment in which it is easier to invest in our common stock than before. (Reference: Minimum investment amount) If the stock price before the stock split is JPY 8,000 (the stock price after the stock split will be JPY 1,600 (8,000 (stock price) divided by five (5))) Minimum investment amount before the stock split: JPY 8,000 (stock price) × 100 shares (number of shares constituting one unit) = JPY 800,000 Minimum investment amount after the stock split: JPY 1,600 (stock price) × 100 shares (number of shares constituting one unit) = JPY 160,000 Q2.
