Corporate Actions & Share Adjustments Maintaining the ITE Shariah indexes includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to restructurings or spin-offs. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require simple changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the index. Other corporate actions, such as share issuances change the market value of an index and require an index divisor adjustment to prevent the value of the index from changing. The index divisor is adjusted for float changes (more than 5%) and other corporate actions such as mergers and demergers. This helps keep the value of the index accurate as a barometer of stock market performance, and ensures that the movement of the index does not reflect the corporate actions of the companies in it. Divisor adjustments are made post close of trading and after the calculation of the closing value of the index. Corporate actions such as splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, rights offerings, and share changes are applied on the ex-date.
