Vienna - The Index Committee of the Vienna Stock Exchange decided to discontinue the calculation of all Russian Depositary Indices as of 17 May 2022. These indices refer to Russian shares that were traded outside Russia as Depositary Receipts (DRs). Due to a change in the law in Russia, the Russian companies concerned must delist their respective DRs and discontinue the entire programme, which means that it is no longer possible for the Vienna Stock Exchange to calculate the indices.

RCB uses these indices as underlyings for certificates. Which RCB certificates are therefore affected by the above measures of the Vienna Stock Exchange?
- RDX Index-Zertifikat (AT0000340153)
- RDX Index-Zertifikat (AT0000481221)
- RDX Mining & Metals Index-Zertifikat (AT0000A0GV77)
What does this mean for certificate holders?
The last calculated value of the underlying indices is given by the Vienna Stock Exchange as zero. Accordingly, the affected RCB certificates are currently without value. However, in the interest of the affected investors, we are endeavouring to find a solution and are currently examining various options.
We will inform in writing here by mid-June 2022.
