FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series                                                    
9 November 2011                                                                 
In order to provide further clarity on the treatment of corporate actions in the
Dividend Plus Index, in order to treat corporate actions in non-market          
capitalisation indices in a consistent manner, please note the addition of Rule 
6.6.5 to the FTSE/JSE Index Series Ground Rules which will be effective from    
start of business on Monday, 19 December 2011:                                  
New Rule                                                                        
Corporate actions in non-market capitalisation indices, that bring about a      
change to the shares in issue, free float or price of a constituent, will be    
treated with a corresponding change to the constituent weighting factor in that 
index, resulting in both the weight of the constituent in the index, and the    
index divisor itself being unchanged.                                           
Ground Rule 6.6.5 is relevant to the following indices:
