Standard & Poor's Announces Semi-Annual Reconstitution of
Standard & Poor's/Barra Growth and Value Indices NEW YORK, Dec.
10 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard & Poor's will make its semi-annual
changes to the S&P 500/Barra Growth, S&P 500/Barra Value,
S&P MidCap 400/Barra Growth, S&P MidCap 400/Barra Value,
S&P SmallCap 600/Barra Growth and S&P SmallCap 600/Barra
Value indices after the close of trading on Friday, December 17,
2004. On March 18, 2005, the S&P/Barra Growth and Value indices
and their S&P parent indices will transition in their entirety
to a half-float market capitalization-weighted structure. The
companies involved in the U.S. index restructuring announced on
December 8, as well as all subsequent additions, will be added to
their new S&P/Barra and parent S&P indices at their
half-float market capitalization weights. A stock's categorization
as either "growth" or "value" is determined by its book-to-price
ratio. Using this measure, each U.S. index is split into two
mutually exclusive sets, each of which comprises roughly half of
the index's total market capitalization. Each S&P/Barra Value
Index contains stocks with higher book-to-price ratios, whereas
each S&P/Barra Growth Index includes stocks whose book-to-price
ratios are lower. Like the parent indices from which they are
derived, the growth and value indices are market
capitalization-weighted. Following is a summary of the changes:
