Paid shares - a parameter, defined independently by KASE on the basis of the
extract from the share register of listing companies or data provided by the

redeemed. Calculating KASE index, KASE takes into account the number of
offered shares confirmed by the documents available on KASE.

owned by the state, issuer management or shareholders, holding more than five
percent of the total of common shares of this issuer, save the shareholders, in

as strategic shareholders (institutional investors, nominal holders, exercising
functions of settlement service etc.).

index value down to 15 %.
