Dear Client,

The Nasdaq Stock Market has recently announced the annual re-ranking of the NASDAQ-100 Index, effective with the market open on Monday, December 19, 2005.

CMC Markets provide CFD trading on stocks that are members of these Indices, and will therefore introduce new stocks to trade whilst no longer actively making markets on others.

CMC's Re-shuffle of the Top 200 constituents of the SPX-500 will coincide with the NASDAQ-100 re-shuffle.
