month of initial listing, on an eligible exchange (such as, but not limited to, The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American or Cboe BZX), and is determined as of the constituent selection reference date, including that month.
In addition, certain newly listed issuers, such as those that are listed via an initial
public offering (“IPO”) or ones that were recently listed on an eligible exchange, may be added to the Underlying Index on an expedited (“fast entry”) basis. Such issuers will be evaluated as of the end of their seventh trading day and will be added to the Underlying Index after 15
trading days (except that, if the 15th trading day falls in the same month as the scheduled reweighting
or rebalance, then such issuers will either be added to the Underlying Index as part
of the scheduled reweighting or rebalance or no sooner than five trading days after the scheduled
reweighting or rebalance, as applicable per the requirements of the Index Provider's
methodology). Issuers that are added to the Underlying Index on a fast entry basis
must, among other things, satisfy all applicable eligibility criteria and their market capitalization
must rank within the top 40 Underlying Index constituents. Fast entry additions will be
weighted based on the Index Provider’s “modified market capitalization-weighted” methodology. Their addition to the Underlying Index will not require removal of another security and
may temporarily increase the Underlying Index constituent count to more than 100.
The Underlying Index is rebalanced annually after the close of trading on the third
Friday in December. To be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a security must meet
the applicable eligibility criteria based on data as of the last trading day in November.
The Underlying Index is calculated under a “modified market capitalization-weighted” methodology, which takes into account the market value of the component securities subject to certain
weight restrictions pursuant to the Index Provider’s methodology. At the annual weight adjustment, no security may exceed 15% of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is reweighted
quarterly in March, June, September and December after the close of trading on the
third Friday in those respective months. At the quarterly weight adjustment, no issuer may
exceed 24% of the weight of the Underlying Index. The reweighting process uses data regarding
the total outstanding shares and last sale price of all component securities as of the
last trading day of the month prior to the reweighting (i.e., February, May, August and November,
respectively). However, a special reweighting may be conducted at any time if certain
weighting restrictions are exceeded based on end-of-day values. In addition, securities may
be removed from the Underlying Index outside of a scheduled rebalance in certain situations,
including, for example, if the Index Provider determines that a security has or will undergo a fundamental
alteration that would make it ineligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, or
if it is determined to be necessary to maintain the integrity of the Underlying Index. Furthermore, certain
corporate actions and events of issuers in the Underlying Index may require maintenance
and adjustments to the Underlying Index.
