website on 25 November 2019). 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

and are subject to daily changes.
The FTSE/JSE Index Review files will be released on Friday 22 November 2019.
Monday 25 November to Friday 06 December 2019: Query period. Clients are welcome to query the data
visible within the files between 25 November 2019 and end of day on 06 December 2019.
The quarterly updates will be considered final at end of day on Friday 06 December 2019.
Monday 09 December 2019: Effective start of trading on 09 December 2019, the scheduled changes will be
“locked down” across the FTSE/JSE Indexes, with no further corrections applied this quarter*.
*On occasion, egregious errors may be corrected during the lock-down period if an erroneous change will
compromise 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.
Monday 23 December 2019: From start of trading on 23 December 2019 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 06 December
2019* 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+2 after the review effective date, at
the earliest, upon resumption of trade.
If an active constituent suspends on or prior to Wednesday 18 December 2019*, the scheduled review changes
will be reversed and applied T+2 after the resumption of trade (T+2 after the review effective date, at the earliest).
If a suspension occurs on 19 December 2019 or 20 December 2019, 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 19 or 20 December 2019.
Long Term Suspended Stocks: Constituents that have been suspended for 60 or more days on or before Friday
22 November 2019, will be deleted from the index in conjunction with the index review (at zero price). However,
if the constituent subsequently resumes trading on or prior to Friday 06 December 2019 the deletion will be
rescinded and the constituent will remain within the index if otherwise eligible. If the constituent resumes trading
on or after 09 December 2019, it will still be removed in conjunction with the review (at market price if an active
replicable market exists – otherwise it will be removed at zero).
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 23 December 2019 (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.
