Press Release, December 23, 2004

The BALTIX index is a capitalization-weighted chain-linked total return index that was launched on September 27, 2004. The index is calculated daily using the most recent official closing prices of all shares listed on the Main Lists of the Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius stock exchanges. The index constituents are subject to quarterly weight limits of 10% of the compound market capitalization and the weight-limits are applied during quarterly rebalancings by reducing the indexed share quantities.

According to BALTIX calculation methodology the indexed share quantities are determined on a quarterly basis on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 and applied respectively on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 each year.
