Friday 14 February 2020: Cut-off date for new information. Information available prior to the end of day on 14
February 2020 will be considered when determining March’s shares and free float updates.
Friday 21 February 2020: The shares and float files will be released on 21 February 2020 (and will be available
on the FTSE/JSE website on 24 February 2020). Clients are welcome to query the data included within these files
and FTSE Russell will review appropriately. Any changes will be visible within the files which will be published daily
between 21 February and 06 March. These files are strictly indicative until end of day on 06 March 2020 and
are subject to daily changes.
The FTSE/JSE Index Review files will be released on Wednesday 04 March 2020.
Friday 21 February to Friday 06 March 2020: Query period. Clients are welcome to query the data visible
within the files between 21 February 2020 and end of day on 06 March 2020.
The quarterly updates will be considered final at end of day on Friday 06 March 2020.
Monday 09 March 2020: Effective start of trading on 09 March 2020, the scheduled changes will be “locked
down” across the FTSE/JSE Indexes, with no further corrections applied this quarter*.
*During the quarterly review / annual reconstitution lock-down period, FTSE Russell will generally avoid implementing corrections to ensure stability
during the period prior to the review / reconstitution implementation. However egregious shares and free float errors discovered within the lock-down
period or during the week following the review / reconstitution may be corrected if an erroneous change compromises the replicability of the index OR if
the change places potential price pressure on the company OR if there is a material error of 50% or greater (relative) to index shares. Any corrections
during the lock-down period or the week following the review will be implemented with appropriate notice. All other shares and free float errors will be
corrected at the following quarterly index review.
Monday 23 March 2020: From start of trading on 23 March 2020 the quarterly changes will become effective
across the FTSE/JSE indexes.
Additional Clarifications
Stocks Suspended during the Review Period: Constituents which are suspended on Friday 06 March 2020*
will not have their scheduled review changes implemented regardless of a resumption of trade prior to the review
effective date. The scheduled review changes will be implemented T+2 after the review effective date, at the
earliest, upon resumption of trade.
If an active constituent suspends on or prior to Wednesday 18 March 2020, the scheduled review changes will
be reversed and applied T+2 after the resumption of trade (T+2 after the review effective date, at the earliest). If
a suspension occurs on 19 March 2020 or 20 March 2020, the review changes will proceed as previously
communicated**.
*If there is a confirmed resumption of trade date which occurs prior to the review effective date, the review changes
will proceed as scheduled.
**in exceptional circumstances, it may be deemed necessary to reverse the review changes when a company
suspends on 19 or 20 March 2020.
Long Term Suspended Stocks: Constituents that have been suspended for 60 or more days on or before Friday
21 February 2020, will be deleted from the index in conjunction with the index review (at zero price). However,
if the constituent subsequently resumes trading on or prior to Friday 06 March 2020 the deletion will be rescinded
and the constituent will remain within the index if otherwise eligible. If the constituent resumes trading on or after
09 March 2020, it will still be removed in conjunction with the review (at market price if an active replicable
market exists – otherwise it will be removed at zero).
Equity Offerings: In accordance with standard methodology, primary and secondary offerings will continue to be
applied with two days’ notice when discovered after the review announcement date. However, offerings which
would ordinarily become effective at the open on the Tuesday - Friday prior to the review will instead be
implemented simultaneously in conjunction with the review effective date on 23 March 2020 (open). Offerings
discovered on the Thursday and Friday prior to the review will be implemented with two days’ notice and therefore
subsequent to the review.
