This dual listing of the Evotec shares in both TecDAX and MDAX results from the rule changes regarding the inclusion of companies in the MDAX, SDAX and TecDAX. As a consequence of this rule change, the tech and classic sectoral separation in the indices will be eliminated and tech companies may also be included in the MDAX and SDAX going forward.
