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 company as a number of offered shares of the listing company net of those redeemed. Calculating KASE index, KASE takes into account the number of offered shares confirmed by the documents available on KASE. Free float (Fi), % - a parameter, defined by KASE as a number of shares, not 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 regard of which the KASE Risk Committee made a decision not to consider those as strategic shareholders (institutional investors, nominal holders, exercising functions of settlement service etc.).
