PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthShares(TM) Inc., an
investment company with a series of 20 underlying fund portfolios,
today announced it has been informed by Standard & Poor's, the
calculating agent for the HealthShares(TM) Indices, that effective
at the opening of trading on Monday August 6, 2007, Matrixx
Initiatives Inc. (NASDAQ:MTXX) will replace Tanox Inc.
(NASDAQ:TNOX) in the HealthShares(TM) Respiratory/Pulmonary Index.
Tanox Inc. is being dropped due to the acquisition of 100% of Tanox
by Genentech Inc. Companies included in the HealthShares(TM)
Respiratory/Pulmonary Index are engaged in the research,
development, and/or commercialization of therapeutic agents
treating various respiratory and/or pulmonary diseases including,

HealthShares(TM) XShares Advisors LLC, a financial services company
based in New York, is the creator of the HealthShares(TM) family of
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). HealthShares(TM) ETFs are organized
into therapeutic 'Verticals' and represent specific areas of the
healthcare, life science and biotechnology industries. Each
Vertical addresses a distinct sub-segment of healthcare, such as
the diagnosis and treatment of specific therapeutic areas (e.g.
cardiology, cancer, infectious disease, etc.) and the development
of medical devices (e.g. orthopedic repair, cardio devices, etc.).
Each ETF tracks an index of 22-25 stocks and offers institutional
and individual investors a more precise financial instrument that
leverages the potential of healthcare investing while mitigating
the risks of single stock picking. For more information, visit the

similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and
margin maintenance. Losses from short sales may be unlimited, and
losses from purchases on margin may exceed original investment.
HealthShares(TM) ETFs are subject to increased risks associated
with investing in a specific sector compared to a more diversified
investment, as well as unique risks associated with the healthcare
and biotechnology sector (i.e., government regulation, patent
regulation, etc.). -- The ETFs face additional risks attributable
to their investments in small and medium capitalization companies
which are subject to higher volatility than larger, more
established companies. In addition, they are invested in a limited
number of securities and a decline in the value of these
investments would cause the fund's overall value to decline to a
greater degree than in a less concentrated portfolio. -- Global or
International Funds invest in foreign securities that will be
subject to certain risks not associated with domestic securities,
such as currency fluctuations, and changes in political and
economic conditions. The prospectus is not an offer to buy or sell
the portfolio shares, nor is the fund soliciting an offer to buy
its shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not
permitted HealthShares(TM) Exchange Traded Funds are distributed by
