Index Launch Dividend Point Indices
Date: 21.03.2011
The Vienna Stock Exchanges started
calculating and disseminating dividend point indices, the ATX Dividend Point Index (ATX DVP) and
the CECE EUR Dividend Point Index (CECE EUR DVP), on March 21, 2011. Dividend Point Indices show
the dividends of the period of one year, paid by the related index members converted into dividend
points. The index value results from the addition of the so calculated dividend points. Only
regular, ordinary gross dividend payments, as well as all distributions in place of regular,
ordinary gross dividend payments are used for the calculation of dividend points. Special dividends
are not considered for the calculation. The relevant observation period for dividend payments goes
from december expiry of one year to december expiry of the following year. Futures basing on the
new dividend point indices are available on the derivatives market of the Vienna Stock
Exchange.
