REFERENCE INDEX:
The S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index is provided by Standard & Poor’s (the “Index Provider”) and includes domestic companies from the oil and gas exploration and production sub-industry. The Index is designed to measure the performance of a sub-industry or group of sub-industries determined based on the Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS). Companies in the Index are classified using the GICS classifications which are determined primarily based on a company’s revenues, however, earnings and market perception are also considered by GICS. The Index consists of constituents of the S&P Total Market Index (S&P TMI) that belong to the GICS oil & gas & production sub-industry that satisfy the following criteria:
(1) have a float-adjusted market capitalization above $500 million with a float-adjusted liquidity ratio (defined by dollar value traded over the previous 12 months divided by the float-adjusted market capitalization as of the Index rebalancing reference date) above 90% or have a float-adjusted market capitalization above $400 million with afloat-adjusted liquidity ratio above 150%, and
(2) are U.S. based companies. The market capitalization threshold may be relaxed to ensure that there are at least 22 stocks in the Index as of the rebalancing effective date.
Rebalancing is done quarterly. The S&P TMI tracks all U.S. common stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange (including the NYSE Arca, Inc. and NYSE Amex), the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Select Market and the NASDAQ Capital Market.
