8 2. INDEX METHODOLOGY The Index Allocaor recommends o he Index Adminisraor Index Componens from he Universe of Index Componens and he weighings of he Index Componens in order o reflec he reference marke and he objecive of he Index accuraely. As such, he recommendaions of he Index Allocaor are considered inpu daa and he Index Allocaor is considered a conribuor of inpu daa in accordance wih Aricle 11 of he Benchmark Regulaion, when applicable. When execuing he recommendaion, he Index Adminisraor ensures ha he (i) selecion of he Index Componens and (ii) he weighings are in line wih he Index Guidelines. Afer is iniial composiion, he Index Allocaor will review he composiion of he Index on an ongoing basis. Index Componens may be added from he Universe of Index Componens by he Index Adminisraor upon recommendaion of he Index Allocaor o he Index if hey are in line wih hese Index Guidelines or heir weighs may be adjused upon recommendaion of he Index Allocaor. The number of Index Componens can change over ime. The Index Value will be deermined on basis of (i) he Official Valuaion and (ii) he value of he Reference Accoun which reflecs he composiion of he Index as follows: - In case boh, (i) a heoreical calculaion of he Index based on he Official Valuaion combined wih he noional / unis derived from he Index Allocaor and (ii) he value of he Reference Accoun are available and a difference beween he heoreical calculaion and he value of he Reference Accoun exiss, he Index Adminisraor will adjus he Index in order o reflec he acual value of he Reference Accoun. Should eiher he value or he noional / unis of he Index Componens in he Reference Accoun based on he discreion of he Index Adminisraor no reflec he economic realiy, he value of one or all Index Componens may be readjused o he Official Valuaion, or he noional / unis of one or all Index Componens may be readjused o he amouns derived from he Index Allocaor (cf. Secion 3.5). - In case solely he value of he Refence Accoun is available he Index will be deermined on basis of he value of he Reference Accoun only as subsiue of he Official Valuaion. - In case solely he value of he heoreical calculaion based on he Official Valuaion combined wih he noional / unis derived from he Index Allocaor is available, he Index will be deermined on basis of he such calculaion. In his case, he fee componen (F), as oulined in chaper 3.1, may no be applicable. Furher, he nominal invesmen amoun in he Reference Accoun, being he cash componens paid ino he Reference Accoun minus he cash componens released from he Reference Accoun for oher use han acquisiion of insrumens which are Index Componens ("Index Noional"), if any, will be provided by he Index Allocaor.

9 Index Philosophy Many empirical sudies have shown ha here are specific characerisics in he marke which allow an ouperformance of he marke. For example, a low volailiy or a fundamenal value crierion may lead o saisically valid performance advanages. The cornersone of he philosophy is ha financial markes experience persisen anomalies or inefficiencies ha ake he form of price rends. The model uses a combinaion of momenum-effec and mean-reversion-effec as a source of alpha. This marke anomalies have been validaed empirically in nearly all major markes over long periods of ime. 2.1 Universe of Index Componens The insrumens which may be par of he Index are se ou in Annex 2.1 o hese Index Guidelines ("Universe of Index Componens"). 2.2 Index Componens and heir selecion Ou of he Universe of Index Componens individual financial insrumens can only be used as an Index Componen for inclusion in he Index if hey mee he Index Componen Selecion Crieria se ou in Annex 2.2 o hese Index Guidelines 2.3 Allocaion of Index Componens The weighing of eligible Index Componens is execued by he Index Adminisraor upon recommendaion by he Index Allocaor wihin he objecive Allocaion Crieria se ou in Annex 2.3. The allocaion of Index Componens is, wihin he described framework, wihin he discreion of he Index Allocaor as conribuor of inpu daa. 2.4 Changes o Index Componens An Index Componen may be removed from he Index if i does no mee he Index selecion crieria or generally ceases o qualify for inclusion in he Index. Index Componens can also be removed from he Index in order o ensure ha, a all imes, he Index coninues o mee is Index objecive or composiion resricions. Once he allocaion of removed Index Componens is deermined, he respecive allocaion of some or all of he remaining Index Componens may be adjused accordingly. If an Index Componen is removed from he Index a replacemen Index Componen may become eligible for inclusion and may be added o he Index. However, i is no necessary for an exising Index Componen o be removed in order for a newly eligible Index Componen o be added. An Index Componen may be added o he Index if i qualifies for inclusion in he Index. Index Componens can be added o he Index in order o ensure ha, a all imes, he Index coninues o mee is Index objecive and composiion resricions. Once he allocaion of newly added Index Componens is deermined, he respecive allocaion of some or all of he Index Componens exising prior o he addiions may be adjused accordingly. Page 9 of 21

10 3. CALCULATION OF THE INDEX 3.1 Index Formula On each Index Valuaion Dae, he Index Calculaion Agen calculaes he Index Value. This calculaion is based on he Official Valuaion of he Index Componens. The Index Calculaion Agen will use he following formula o calculae he Index Value: Index ( W i ixpi) D A F ( W ) i ixpi A F D 1000 Whereas: Index W i P i A F i D is he Index a ime. is he number of unis respecively noional of an Index Componen (being he acquisiion cos) in he Index a ime. is he Official Valuaion of each Index Componen a ime > 0. is he Adjusmen Facor, which is deermined a he reasonable discreion of he Index Calculaion Agen a he ime wih reference o adjusmens during he lifeime of he Index which may become necessary due o Adjusmens described in is he amoun of he accrued index fees unil of up o 21 basis poins / days per monh x monh Index 1, plus a performance fee of 10% of he posiive performance per is represening an individual Index Componen. Divisor a ime 3.2 Accuracy The value of he Index will be rounded o wo decimal places. 3.3 Adjusmens o he Divisor Indices need o be adjused for he Index Noional hey represen. This requires he Divisor o be calculaed on an ex-ane basis. Page 10 of 21

11 D ( W i ixpi) Index A F Parameers as defined in 3.1 Oher Changes If necessary, he Index Calculaion Agen may a is reasonable discreion amend hese Index Guidelines in order o ensure achievemen of he objecive of he Index as defined in hese Index Guidelines or o address any errors, omission or ambiguiies. Such amendmens may include changes o he index componen selecion crieria or he rules wih respec o he composiion, calculaion and weighing of he Index. 3.4 Adjusmens o sysemaic changes Dividends, ineres and oher disribuions will be allocaed o he Index as cash in he currency of he Reference Accoun held wih a credi insiuion in he European Union or he European Economic Area In case of a corporae acion on an Index Componen, he Index Calculaion Agen will assess wheher such corporae acion has a diluive or any oher effec on he price of he Index Componen. In such a case, he Index Calculaor will make required adjusmens and deermine he dae on which his adjusmen will be effecive. Amongs oher hings he Index Calculaion Agen can consider adjusmens execued by an Affiliaed Exchange as a resul of he corporae acion concerning opion and fuures. Splis require he recalculaion of he W parameer assuming ha he spli raio is applicable o he price change, as follows: Wi, 1 Wi, * S Whereas: W is he number of unis / noional affeced in he Index a ime +1 i, 1 W i S is he number of unis / noional affeced in he Index a ime Unis / noional afer he spli for every uni / noional before spli Share disribuion require he recalculaion of he W parameer assuming ha he disribuion raio is applicable o he price change, as follows: Page 11 of 21

12 Wi, 1 Wi, *(1 S) Whereas: W is he number of unis / noional affeced in he Index a ime +1 i, 1 W i S is he number of unis / noional affeced in he Index a ime Unis / noional for every uni / noional before disribuion An inflow of cash o he Reference Accoun increases he money marke accoun correspondingly. The Cash Componen can increase / decrease based on ineres applicable o he Cash Componen. 3.5 Adjusmens o he Reference Porfolio Adjusmens will be made in erms of he difference beween he heoreical Index Value as calculaed by he Index Adminisraor on basis of he Official Valuaion and he accoun balance of he Reference Accoun. In case no value for he Reference Accoun can be obained, he Index may be readjused o he heoreical Index Value based on he Official Valuaion. 3.6 Rebalancing Adjusmens o he Index according o Secions 2.3 and 2.4 of hese guidelines will be execued by he Index Adminisraor in a imely manner afer receip of he recommendaion from he Index Allocaor. Only in insances where such recommendaion is no in line wih he Index Objecive i will be negleced by he Index Adminisraor. Any such adjusmens will be based on prices of comparable ransacions observed on or around he ime of he execuion of he adjusmen, including ransacion cos, based on he discreion of he Index Adminisraor. 3.7 Daa Provider Idenificaion of Index Componens and heir weighings are based on recommendaion by he Index Allocaor. Official Valuaions are based on he regulaed marke daa of he underlying financial insrumens. 3.8 Index Coninuiy In case of missing, insufficien, inaccurae or unreliable inpu daa or non-compliance wih he sandards as se ou below, for any of he required daa o calculae he Index, he Index Adminisraor may no calculae and publish he Index. The decision will be aken on discreion of he Index Adminisraor. In case he sandards as se ou are no fulfilled for a considerable ime, he Page 12 of 21

These selecion crieria are reviewed by he Index Allocaor o check if he financial insrumen possesses all he necessary aribues o be included in he index: Priced inra-day by an independen hird pary Sufficienly liquid wih accepable rading volume and accepable marke value Accepable level of risk The subsequen allocaion process will only consider such Index Componens. Moreover, o reflec he focus of he objecive of he index as described in chaper 1.1 Summary of Index Specificaions, he algorihmic sysem per defaul only applies he lised Index Componen Selecion Crieria o insrumens which are par of he HDAX and Nasdaq 100. Depending on marke condiions, he Index Allocaor has discreion in erms of exending he range of insrumens o he full scope of he Universe of Index Componens. Such execuion of discreion will be repored o he Index Adminisraor.

18 Annex 2.3: Allocaion Crieria; Iniial Index Composiion Allocaion Crieria: The Index Allocaor employs a proprieary quaniaive rule based and sysemaic algorihm in order o deermine he allocaions o he Index Componens and he secors such Index Componens represens or offers exposure o. From he Universe of Index Componens, he algorihm chooses such shares wih a high relaive srengh, which also fulfill he Index Componen Selecion Crieria. The algorihm s objecive is o inves ino shares wih a long and sound upside-rend. Based on hese idenified signals, he algorihm allocaes he insrumen o a diversified porfolio. This so-called rend-sraegy selecs shares ha are already in an inac rend-paern. Once a week, he invesmen-universe is screened by he algorihm for poenial purchase-signals. If a purchase-signal occurs, he paricular share is seleced wih one percen of he oal Ne-Asse- Value. This selecion is done sysemaically in he week s opening. The algorihm uses a long-erm opimizaion process ha maximizes he expeced level of reurn for he given level of risk argeed by he index. Daa uses o calculae allocaions are sourced from a daabase. Facors used o calculae allocaions: Volailiy: Expeced reurns, sharpe raios and volailiy are esimaed using robus saisical echniques. Marke access coss: Coss incorporaed ino he opimizaion process include, bu are no limied o: slippage, commissions, brokerage fees. Marke liquidiy: Allocaions are limied o exchange raded insrumens. Exchange raded insrumens which have inconsisen levels of liquidiy may be precluded from he index. The allocaion model derives he allocaions o each Index Componen based on mean reversion price aciviy, liquidiy, applicable echnical daa inpus, risk, volailiy, marke correlaions, marke access coss and oher relevan facors. The model can reduce he allocaion o shares down o zero per cen. The free liquidiy can hen eiher be held in cash, allocaed o money-marke funds or invesed ino opions and fuures in alignmen wih he Universe of he Index Componens, in order o achieve a greaer degree of diversificaion and risk-reducion. Decisions are based on a number of daily produced risk measures and on a deailed risk repor available once a day. The shares are held in he index unil he selecion model deecs a break in he rend. Only hen he shares will be reweighed. The screening for sale-signals is done on a daily basis. All reweighings are also conrolled hrough a quaniaive model and he changes in he allocaion are done on a daily basis on he opening.

19 The quaniaive model benefis from coninuing research and developmen of he Index Allocaor o exend he range and versailiy of he original allocaion echniques. Composiion Resricions To ensure ha he index is sufficienly diversified, i is composed in a way ha he allocaion o all Index Componens represening a single insrumen may no represen more han 5% of he Index Noional. The named 5% hreshold per single insrumen is only applicable a he poin in ime when a weighing change of an Index Componen, leading o an increase of weigh of a paricular financial insrumen, akes place. The number of Index Componens wihin he index may vary over he ime. Compliance wih he selecion crieria of he Index Componens is reviewed by he Index Allocaor daily based upon he laes available daa. Changes arising from he daily review will be implemened as quickly as pracicably possible.
