NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2008 — Dow Jones Indexes today announced a component change in the Dow Jones Canada Titans 40 Index.
TELUS Corporation (Canada, Telecommunications, T.A.T.; T.T.; TU) will be deleted from the Dow Jones Canada Titans 40 Index and replaced by Bombardier Inc. Cl B SV (Canada, Industrial Goods & Services, BBD.A.T; BBD.B.T; BDRBFX).
TELUS Corporation is being removed due to the “Early Removal Rule”. The rule is applied when a component in a Dow Jones Country Titans Index is no longer ranked one of the largest companies by float-adjusted market capitalization at the conclusion of a regular quarterly review of the Dow Jones Global Country Indexes. The Early Removal Rule allows component changes to the Dow Jones Country Titans Indexes to be implemented outside of the index family’s regular annual review in March.
The changes in the Dow Jones Canada Titans 40 Index will be effective as of the open of trading on Monday, September 22, 2008.
