TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2013 /CNW/ - S&P Dow Jones Canadian Index Services today announces that it has made a policy change to the treatment of partial calls in Preferred Share Indices. Effective immediately, S&P Dow Jones Indices will recognize all partial preferred share calls for redemption in preferred share indices. On the redemption date of the partial call, S&P Dow Jones Indices will reduce the shares outstanding of the partially called security by the amount of shares called by the issuer. In addition, S&P Dow Jones Indices will apply a price adjustment to the partially called security. The adjusted price of the partially called security will be calculated as the redemption price plus any accrued interest due to investors.

The methodology documents located on the S&P Dow Jones Indices web site for each index will be updated in the coming days to reflect these changes.
