BERLIN, March 17 (Reuters) - German financial services group 
MLP AG  MLPG.DE  is to replace market researcher GfK SE 
 GFKG.DE  on the SDAX index of German small-cap shares, stock 
exchange operator Deutsche Boerse  DB1Gn.DE  said. 
    The changes will go into effect on March 22, Deutsche Boerse 
said late on Friday in an unscheduled change to the SDAX 
 .SDAXI  index. 
    GfK's free float dropped to 3.34 percent following its 
acquisition by KKR-backed  KKR.N  holding company Acceleratio 
Capital, not enough to stay in the SDAX index, the exchange 
operator said.     
    The next regular index review will be held on June 5, it 
said.
