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:
Index Index Name
Code
J2EQ Equally Weighted Top 40
J3EQ Equally Weighted Resource 10
J4EQ Equally Weighted Financial 15
J5EQ Equally Weighted Industrial
25
J259 Dividend +
J260 RAFI 40 *
J263 RAFI All Share *
J283 Capped RAFI All Share *
* Please note that capital reductions are not treated on a market capitalisation
neutral basis and will result in a price adjustment.
