At the December 2011 meeting of the FTSE/JSE Advisory Committee (AC), it was    
agreed that additional country buffers be applied to the FTSE/JSE All Africa 40

JA3R). These changes will be applied at the March 2012 review. The resulting    
changes to the constituents of these Indices will be published on the JSE       
website on Wednesday, 7 March 2012, and will be effective on Monday, 19 March   
2012.
