Tallinn Stock Exchange             ANNOUNCEMENT                  03.10.2005



OMX harmonized index names



Effective October 3, 2005 the all-share index of Tallinn Stock Exchange 

(TALSE) was renamed to OMX Tallinn (OMXT). 



The change is part of OMX’s strive to create an integrated and efficient 

Nordic Baltic marketplace. The new OMX index name structure covers 

all-share, tradable, benchmark and sector indexes. The name structure is 

constructed around the OMX name, the specific stock exchange and the 

index of choice.



The all-share index of Stockholm Stock Exchange is OMX Stockholm (OMXS), 

for Copenhagen Stock Exchange it is OMX Copenhagen (OMXC) and for Helsinki 

Stock Exchange it is OMX Helsinki (OMXH). New index names for the Baltic 

exchanges are similar: the all-share index of Tallinn Stock Exchange (TALSE) 

was renamed to OMX Tallinn (OMXT), the all-share index of Riga Stock 

Exchange (RIGSE) was renamed to OMX Riga (OMXR) and the all-share index 

of Vilnius Stock Exchange (VILSE) was renamed to OMX Vilnius (OMXV). 

Only the name of the Baltic main list index BALTIX remained the same.



Danish tradable index KFX was renamed to OMXC20, in line with tradable 

indices in Stockholm and Helsinki (OMXS30 ja OMXH25). The benchmark indexes 

in Copenhagen and Stockholm were changed to OMXCB and OMXSB, respectively, 

in line with the name of the Helsinki benchmark index OMXHB. Sector, industry 

group and industry indexes were harmonized accordingly. 



To date the index harmonization process has included rule harmonization, 

implementation of GICS classification standard, developed by MSCI and 

Standard & Poor's, a new benchmark and sector indexes in Helsinki and the 

introduction of a new index calculation system. The harmonization of the 

index names started last autumn, with the change of the tradable index 

names in Stockholm and Helsinki into OMX Stockholm 30 and OMX Helsinki 25.
