S & P changes SmallCap 600 Index

The Associated Press

Standard & Poor's announced Monday that 3D Systems Corp. will replace Taleo Corp. on its SmallCap 600 index after the close of the market Thursday.

The change is happening because Oracle Corp. is acquiring Taleo in a deal that is expected to close then.

3D Systems, which is based in Rock Hill, S.C, and makes three-dimensional printers, trades under the symbol "DDD." The company will also be added to the index's computer hardware sub-industry index.
