The Prague Stock Exchange decided on Friday to include the Philip Morris CR issue in the PX-D index base, effective December 27. With a market capitalization of CZK 14.4 bil., the issue should represent about 6% of the index capitalization (and it will reduce Cesky Telecom’s weighting, for example, by approx. 2%). A number of shares used for a CEZ’s weight calculation will increase by a mere 139,040 stocks, i.e., insignificantly.
