Monday 31 July 2023: Cut-off date for new information. Information available prior to the end of day on 31 July
2023 will be considered when determining September’s shares and free float updates.
Friday 18 August 2023: The shares and float files will be released on 18 August 2023 (and will be available on
the FTSE/JSE website on 21 August 2023). Clients are welcome to query the data included within these files and
FTSE Russell will review appropriately. Any changes will be visible within the files which will be published daily between
18 August and 01 September 2023. These files are strictly indicative until end of day on 01 September 2023
and are subject to daily changes.
The FTSE/JSE Index Review files will be released on Wednesday 30 August 2023.
Monday 21 August to Friday 01 September 2023: Query period. Clients are welcome to query the data visible
within the files between 21 August 2023 and end of day on 01 September 2023.
The quarterly updates will be considered final at end of day on Friday 01 September 2023.
Monday 04 September 2023: Effective start of trading on 04 September 2023, the scheduled changes will be
“locked down” across the FTSE/JSE Indexes, with no further corrections applied this quarter*.
*During the quarterly review / annual reconstitution lock-down period, FTSE Russell will generally avoid implementing corrections to ensure stability during
the period prior to the review / reconstitution implementation. However egregious shares and free float errors discovered within the lock-down period or
during the week following the review / reconstitution may be corrected if an erroneous change compromises the replicability of the index OR if the change
places potential price pressure on the company OR if there is a material error of 50% or greater (relative) to index shares. Any corrections during the lock-
down period or the week following the review will be implemented with appropriate notice. All other shares and free float errors will be corrected at the
following quarterly index review.
Monday 18 September 2023: From start of trading on 18 September 2023 the quarterly changes will become
effective within the FTSE/JSE Indexes.
Additional Clarifications
Stocks Suspended during the Review Period: Constituents which are suspended on Friday 01 September
2023* will not have their scheduled review changes implemented regardless of a resumption of trade prior to the
review effective date. The scheduled review changes will be implemented T+5 after the review effective date, at the
earliest, upon resumption of trade.
If an active constituent suspends on or prior to Tuesday 12 September 2023, the scheduled review changes will
be reversed and applied T+5 after the resumption of trade (T+5 after the review effective date, at the earliest). If a
suspension occurs on 13 September, 14 September 2023 or 15 September 2023, the review changes will
proceed as previously communicated**.
*If there is a confirmed resumption of trade date which occurs prior to the review effective date, the review changes
will proceed as scheduled.
**in exceptional circumstances, it may be deemed necessary to reverse the review changes when a company
suspends on 13, 14 or 15 September 2023.
Equity Offerings: In accordance with standard methodology, primary and secondary offerings will continue to be
applied with two days’ notice when discovered after the review announcement date. However, offerings which would
ordinarily become effective at the open on the Tuesday - Friday prior to the review will instead be implemented
simultaneously in conjunction with the review effective date on 18 September 2023 (open). Offerings discovered
on the Thursday and Friday prior to the review will be implemented with two days’ notice and therefore subsequent
to the review.
