The weighting of Daimler shares in major indices increased slightly
during 2009 due to the positive development of our share price,
although the free float actually decreased. In the German DAX 30
index, our stock was ranked in sixth position with a weighting
of 5.98% at the end of the year (end of 2008: 5.38%). In the Dow
Jones Euro STOXX 50 index, Daimler shares were represented
with a weighting of 2.05% (end of 2008: 1.88%).
Daimler shares are listed in Frankfurt, Stuttgart and on the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Stock-exchange trading in the year
2009 amounted to 1,830 million shares in Germany (2008: 2,791
million) and 87 million shares on the NYSE (2008: 120 million).
In addition, Daimler shares were increasingly traded on newly cre-
ated multilateral trading platforms and in the over-the-counter
market.
Positioning in sustainability indices. In the OEKOM Research
ratings, Daimler once again obtained “Prime Investment Status,”
but this time with a significantly improved overall rating of B- on
a scale of A+ to D-. Daimler shares were also included for the
fifth time in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), one of the
world’s leading indices of its kind. Compared with the prior year,
we succeeded in raising our points total in the DJSI from 76% to
89%, so Daimler shares are now only two percentage points
behind the industry leader. This makes us a member of DJSI
WORLD, but by a very small margin we missed inclusion in the
smaller European index, the DJSI STOXX.
