On Friday, Deutsche Börse announced an unscheduled change to DAX. As a result of the expected merger of Linde AG and Praxair Inc.

These changes will become effective on 25 October 2017.

According to the Guide to the Equity Indices of Deutsche Börse, section 5.1.7 Conversion into Tendered Shares, this index change is implemented with two full trading days' notice once an acceptance threshold of at least 50 percent is reached.
