Appeal against reduction from 100 per cent to 75 per cent in the investability
weighting of Liberty International PLC ("Liberty International") under FTSE UK
Index September 2003 Quarterly Review
In the FTSE UK Index Quarterly Review, dated 10 September 2003, which became
effective on 22 September 2003, the investability weighting of Liberty
International was reduced from 100 per cent to 75 per cent.
Liberty International has today lodged an appeal to the FTSE Committee against
this reduction in the investability weighting on the grounds that certain
shareholdings which the FTSE Committee excluded from the free float should in
the Company"s opinion not have been so excluded and therefore the investability
weighting should have remained at 100 per cent.
Liberty International is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index of the UK"s leading
listed companies. The investability weighting issue does not affect Liberty
International"s FTSE 100 ranking as eligibility for the FTSE 100 Index is based
on full market capitalisation.
