            Ground Rule Change - FTSE/JSE Buffer Changes

                                   07 October 2013
At the FTSE/JSE Advisory Committee (AC) meeting, held on 11 September 2013, it was
decided that the buffer sizes of the FTSE/JSE Mid Cap (J201), FTSE/JSE Resource 10
(J210) and FTSE/JSE AltX 15 (J233) indices be amended to improve the consistency of
the buffer size across the Index Series.

Consequently FTSE and the JSE announce the following amendments to the FTSE/JSE
Ground Rules, effective immediately. The new Rules will be applied at the December
2013 index review.
