Index Change Advice – 20190701 FTSE JSE Ground Rules Dummy Lines

                   FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series - Ground Rule Update


                                                           1 July 2019
FTSE Russell would like to inform clients of the following update to the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series
which is effective from 1 August 2019:

Section 6: Changes to Constituent Companies

Addition of the following rule

6.7       Dummy Lines
          Temporary non-tradable instruments referred to as dummy lines, with the identifier DUMMY
          embedded in the ISIN code, may be used in the FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series on an ad hoc basis
          to deal with complexities surrounding certain corporate events. The dummy line would be created
          in order to temporarily reflect the terms of a complex corporate event while ensuring that the
          index reflects investor experience and remains replicable.
          The use of the dummy line would be announced in advance through an information notice. On the
          ex-date of the event there would be an addition of the dummy line which corresponds to the
          value of the distributed terms or rights.
          More details on the use of dummy lines in corporate action events can be found in the Corporate
          Actions and Events Guide:
