The Amsterdam Exchanges NV and the Amsterdam Option & Future Exchange, the EOE-Optiebeurs is introducing a new stock index from 4th October 1995. This index, to be called the Amsterdam Midkap-index will be made up of 25 stocks and will display, continuously, the market movement of stocks in the middle segment of the Dutch equity market.

The index is also to be used in providing underlying value for derivative products, such as options and futures.

The 25 stocks included in the Amsterdam Midkap-are those that follow, immediately, those 25 stocks that make up the Amsterdam EOE-index. The stocks in the Amsterdam EOE-index account for 86% to the total market capitalisation of stocks on the Amsterdam Exchanges NV; the stocks in the Amsterdam Midkap-index account approximately for the subsequent 8%.

The Amsterdam Midkap-index is made up of the following stocks: Ahrend, Begemann, De Boer Winkelbedrijven, Borsumij Wehry, Boskalis Westminster, Cap Volmac, Fokker Vliegtuigenfabriek, Frans Maas, Gamma Holding, Getronics, Grolsch, Hagemeyer, Hollandse Beton Groep, Hunter Douglas, IHC Caland, Internatio-Muller, Koninklijke Bijenkorf Beheer KBB, Koninklijke Ten Cate, Nutricia, Oc'-Van der Grinten, Randstad Holding, Sphinx Gustavsberg, Stad Rotterdam, Van Ommeren and Volker Stevin.
