Semi-annual review Euronext-Vigeo indices Paris, November 20th 2013 Vigeo and Euronext, a wholly owned subsidiary of IntercontinentalExchange Group, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), have completed the semi-annual revision of their indices. The new composition will become effective from Monday 2nd of December 2013. The range of Euronext-Vigeo indices is composed of the following seven indices: -Euronext-Vigeo France 20, -Euronext-Vigeo UK 20, -Euronext-Vigeo Benelux 20, -Euronext-Vigeo US 50, -Euronext-Vigeo Eurozone 120, -Euronext-Vigeo Europe 120, -Euronext-Vigeo World 120. The index constituents reflect company performance with regards to the set of risks Vigeo defines and evaluates to assess and measure corporate responsibility. Index composition is updated twice a year, in June and December. Their composition is detailed in tables in the appendix hereunder. Methodology and highlights The added constituents are companies rated highest for control of corporate responsibility risk and contribution to sustainable development. Performance is measured by the Equitics method pioneered by Vigeo. Ratings are based on 38 criteria including respect of environment policy, human rights and recognition of companies’ human capital, corporate governance and business ethics; including integrity in influencing policy and effort to fight corruption; and the prevention of negative impacts on the social and environmental supply and subcontracting chain. Vigeo draws on its existing database to analyse nearly 330 indicators for each company. The update of the Euronext-Vigeo indices in December 2013 features the addition of a number of companies belonging to the real estate sector. These companies have significantly improved their commitments to integrate ESG objectives and principles into their strategies, operations and reporting practices. Page 1 of 18 The removal of constituents are generally explained by the update of Vigeo’s opinion that took place during the last six months. In addition, serious or recurring controversies have also led to some exclusion from the indices. This was the case for several companies from the ICT and telecommunication sectors, which suffered from allegations on their involvement in privacy breaches with the PRISM scandal. In the energy and industry sector, the controversies that led to index removals were linked to pollution, health & safety issues, and non-respect for human rights in corruption cases. For several companies belonging to the Financial Institutions sector, the removals and the non- additions were caused by allegations on market manipulation, money laundering, mis-selling or facilitating tax avoidance.
