These updates include revisions in free float shares calculation methodology, fast inclusion to Tadawul main market index (TASI), capped indices calculation and maintenance,
Above mentioned Changes are detailed as below:
1. Free Float Shares calculation methodology has been revised with regards to Non Free Float Shares owned by a Government Entity where ownership is 5% and more, restricted shares, companies share buy-back, controlling ownerships, and shares held by members of the board of directors.
2. Applying a new rule for “Fast Entry” whereby shares of significantly large IPOs are included in TASI at the close of the 5th trading day.
