NEW YORK, March 10, 2006 — Dow Jones Indexes today announced component changes in the Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100 Index and its three subindexes as a result of the regular quarterly review of the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index.

AT&T Inc. (United States) will be deleted from the Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100 and its subindex, the Dow Jones Islamic Market U.S. Titans 50 and will be replaced by Apple Computer Inc. (United States). AT&T Inc. is being removed due to its failure to meet financial screening requirements.

The Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100 comprises the Dow Jones Islamic Market U.S. Titans 50, the Dow Jones Islamic Market Europe Titans 25 and the Dow Jones Islamic Market Asia/Pacific Titans 25.

The changes announced today are a result of a quarterly review of the Dow Jones Islamic Market Index. Component changes made during the review are also applied to all Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes to ensure compliance with Shariah principles. To determine their eligibility for the Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100, stocks are screened based on their industry type and their financial ratios. Excluded are companies engaged in the following lines of business: alcohol, tobacco, pork-related products, financial services, defense/weapons and entertainment. Dow Jones Indexes then screens out companies with unacceptable financial ratios: companies whose total debt divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more; those whose cash plus interest-bearing securities divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more and those whose accounts receivables divided by trailing 12-month average market capitalization is 33% or more.

The component changes will be effective at the start of trading on Monday, March 20, 2006. The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes were created for people who wish to invest according to Islamic investment guidelines.
