Consultations also provide an opportunity for any member of the public to submit input. This process is designed to preserve the independence of the Index Committee, effectively mitigate potential conflicts of interest, and help ensure transparency and fairness.<\/p>\n<p>The Index Committee carefully reviews all consultation responses received. However, while all responses are reviewed and considered, the Index Committee is not bound by any comments or information submitted as part of the consultation.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>S&amp;P 500, S&amp;P MidCap 400, and S&amp;P SmallCap 600 Results:<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Based on S&amp;P DJI&#8217;s Index Committee review of the markets and after consideration of responses received from a wide range of market participants, <b>no changes will be made to the eligibility criteria including financial viability screens, seasoning period, or minimum IWF, for the S&amp;P 500, S&amp;P MidCap 400, or S&amp;P SmallCap 600<\/b> as a result of the S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices consultation on the treatment of MegaCap companies. Accordingly, there will be no changes to existing methodology for this index family.<\/p>\n<p>S&amp;P DJI determined that exceptions to the financial viability, seasoning, and IWF requirements should not be granted solely based on market capitalization. The decision not to adopt the proposed exceptions preserves core index principles by maintaining consistent application of these key requirements. Although there may be trade-offs between strict adherence to these eligibility requirements and broad representativeness, the current methodology provides substantial market coverage and sector balance. As a result, the indices can continue to meet their stated objectives while preserving their role as representative and investable benchmarks for the U.S. equity market.<\/p>\n<p>The table below summarizes the consultation results.<\/p>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" class=\"prnbcc\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Proposed<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prnpr2 prnpl2 prnvat prntac prncbts prnbrbrs prnbbbs prnsblb1\" colspan=\"2\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Methodology<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen4\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Changes<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen5\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Current<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen6\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Result<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">IPO Seasoning <br \/>Period to be <br \/>reduced to six <br \/>months from 12 <br \/>months<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen8\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Initial public offerings should be traded on an <br \/>eligible exchange for at least 12 months before <br \/>being considered for addition to an index.<\/p>\n<p><\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Spin-offs or in-specie distributions from existing <br \/>constituents are not required to have 12 months of <br \/>trading prior to their inclusion in the S&amp;P <br \/>Composite 1500.<\/p>\n<p><\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Companies that migrate from an ineligible <br \/>exchange, emerge from bankruptcy, are newly <br \/>designated to be domiciled in the U.S. for index <br \/>purposes by S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices, or convert <br \/>from an ineligible share or organizational type to an <br \/>eligible type do not need to trade on an eligible <br \/>U.S. exchange for 12 months before being <br \/>considered for addition.<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen6\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">No Change<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Investable <br \/>Weight Factor <br \/>(IWF) minimum <br \/>is waived for <br \/>MegaCap <br \/>companies<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen8\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">To be eligible for addition, a stock must have an <br \/>IWF of at least 0.10.<\/p>\n<p><\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Companies passing the total company level market <br \/>capitalization criteria are also required to\u00a0<br \/>have a security level float-adjusted market\u00a0<br \/>capitalization (FMC) that is at least 50% of the\u00a0<br \/>respective index&#8217;s total company level minimum\u00a0<br \/>market capitalization threshold.<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen6\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">No Change<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen7\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Financial <br \/>Viability <br \/>exception for <br \/>MegaCap <br \/>companies <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen8\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">S&amp;P Composite 1500.

In accordance with the Index Committee&#8217;s governance framework, the Index Committee may, in certain circumstances, exercise discretion in the implementation of float increases after the end of the IPO lock-up period to reduce market impact, support replicability, and promote orderly implementation, taking into account company-specific facts, such as size of the index event and timelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Any such decision will be communicated in advance where possible.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>IMPACTED INDICES<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"1\" class=\"prnbcc\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen2\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Index Name<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen9\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\"><br \/>\n                  <b>Index Code<\/b><br \/>\n                <\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen10\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">S&amp;P Total Market Index (TMI)<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen11\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">SPTMI<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen10\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">S&amp;P Completion Index (CI)<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen11\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">SPCMI<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"prngen10\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"prngen11\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" nowrap=\"nowrap\">\n<p class=\"prnml4\">\n                <span class=\"prnews_span\">DWCF<\/span>\n              <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Please note that if a company is included within the above indices, such company may become eligible for derived indices that use the above index as a starting universe. \u00a0For example, the derived indices include, but are not limited to, size, sector, style, factor, and sustainability indices derived from the impacted indices.
