Index Change Advice - 20141016 Rebasing of FTSEJSE Media Total Return Index J555

          Rebasing of FTSE/JSE Media Total Return Index (J555)
                      FTSE/JSE Africa Index Series

                                         16 September 2014
The current Total Return Index value of the FTSE/JSE Africa SA Media Index (J555) is
very high and the index has a small number of constituents. Changes in constituents'
share prices cause exaggerated fluctuations in the index, making the index more difficult
to track.

To ensure seamless distribution and maintain the transparency of the index, JSE and
FTSE will rebase the Total Return Index value of the J555 index by dividing the index
value by 10 after close of business on 15 October 2014. The index will remain an
accurate measure of market activity in this sector, whilst complying with distribution
requirements. The JSE and FTSE believe this solution will cause minimal disruption to
clients and prevent a similar issue arising again.

Clients with historic database values should apply the rebasing after the close of trading
on 15 October 2014 and before start of trading on 16 October 2014, to ensure that
records remain accurate. High, low, open and close value for the index will also be
affected. All Capital Index values, earnings yield and dividend yield values will remain
unchanged.

No official historic values will be issued.

This change will be implemented from the start of trading 16 October 2014 provided the
Total Return Index level does not reach 100,000 points before then; otherwise this
change will have to be implemented with immediate effect.
