Kloeckner+Co To Replace HVB In MDAX

With effect from January 29, Kloeckner+Co will be included in the MDAX® index as part of an unscheduled amendment to its composition, replacing Hypovereinsbank. Hypovereinsbank's free float has fallen to below five percent; its shares therefore no longer meet the requirements for MDAX inclusion.

Furthermore, Duerr will be included in SDAX® as part of this unscheduled amendment, replacing Kloeckner+Co.

The next review of the equity indices of Deutsche Börse is scheduled for March 5, 2007. MDAX® and SDAX® are registered trademarks of Deutsche Börse AG. -- www.deutsche-boerse.com
