CHANGES TO THE NAME OF THE SCHEME, THE MANAGER AND THE PORTFOLIOS
Investors are hereby advised that a decision has been made by Grindrod Bank
Limited (“Grindrod Bank”) to independently brand its exchange traded product
offering under the CoreShares name. The name ‘CoreShares’ is derived from
the growing trend to structure an investment portfolio using a ‘Core-
Satellite’ approach. Index investments should form the majority – or core
– of a portfolio, ensuring broad market exposure, reduced costs and lower
manager risk. The rebranding will provide a fresh and energetic position
for the Grindrod Bank ETF business going forward with simplicity and
transparency being at the forefront. Globally the ETF and passive investment
management markets continue to thrive and are major areas of growth.
Therefore the following changes should be noted:
- The change of the name of the Scheme from Grindrod Index Tracker
Collective Investment Scheme to CoreShares Index Tracker Collective
Investment Scheme with the abbreviated name CoreShares;
- The change of the name of the Manager from Grindrod Index Tracker
Managers (RF) Proprietary Limited to CoreShares Index Tracker Managers
(RF) Proprietary Limited;
- The change of the names of the Portfolios, as follows:
- Grindrod Property SAPY Exchange Traded Fund to CoreShares Property
SAPY Exchange Traded Fund, the long name of which will be CoreShares
PropTrax SAPY;
- Grindrod Property Top Ten Exchange Traded Fund to CoreShares
Property Top Ten Exchange Traded Fund, the long name of which will
be CoreShares PropTrax Ten;
- Grindrod Preference Share Exchange Traded Fund to CoreShares
Preference Share Exchange Traded Fund, the long name of which will
be CoreShares PrefTrax;
- Grindrod S&P SA Low Volatility Exchange Traded Fund to CoreShares
S&P SA Low Volatility Exchange Traded Fund, the long name of which
will be CoreShares LowVolTrax; and
- Grindrod S&P SA Dividend Aristocrats Exchange Traded Fund to
CoreShares S&P SA Dividend Aristocrats Exchange Traded Fund, the
long name of which will be CoreShares DivTrax.
The following dates should be noted with regard to the name change of the
Portfolios:
Last date to trade: Thursday, 30 April 2015

Record date: Friday, 8 May 2015
