high-level activities to overcome such barriers (to accompany
the JSE’s 2008 license renewal application);

Phase 2
Nomination of responsible parties to further the investigations
within their working groups, coordinated by the JSE, with their
combined outputs being the creation of a “Blueprint for T+3”
document; and

Phase 3
Impact analysis and agreeing an implementation plan for T+3
with all market participants

Phase 1: Output

The JSE submitted the document detailing the barriers and the
high-level activities to overcome such barriers to the FSB with
the JSE’s 2008 license renewal;

The FSB accepted the document and requested a quarterly
update on the status of the action items;

The JSE initiated Phase 2 with the parties that would address
the 58 action items.

Phase 2: Further Investigations

Phase 2 was about getting the nominated parties to further
investigate the action items and identified issues and define
solutions (the “blueprints”);

The workgroups reported into the JSE Clearing & Settlement
Division;

Representatives from the Clearing & Settlement Division (and
other JSE Divisions where applicable) sat on each committee or
workgroup;

Forms of Business Requirement Specifications were created
and signed off by the market; and

Blueprint completed by the JSE.
www.jse.co.za

Phase 2: Completion of blueprint
The output for Phase 2 was the creation of a blueprint for the
move to T+3 which was tabled and approved by JSE Exco in May
2009
www.jse.co.za
6
Phase 3: Impact Analysis and Implementation Plan

Phase 3 is about the impact analysis and implementation plan
for moving to T+3;

The implementation plan will detail how the transition from T+5
to T+3 is going to be managed;

Where possible, changes will be made immediately, as opposed
to waiting for moving to T+3 (has already started); and

JSE SRP dependency - how the systems may be developed for
T+3 and implemented in 2011 after SRP.

International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)

Spreadsheets and Fractions
Market Decision
It has been decided that for all companies listed locally, the rounding convention
utilised will be to round down all entitlements. Fractional payments will be paid in
cash, with a tolerance level to be decided on at a later stage.
Spreadsheets will be required for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).
For Foreign and Dual-Listed Companies, their rounding principles/conventions will
be applied.
Restrictions will be communicated and it will be the beneficial owner’s obligation
to observe such restrictions and adhere to legislative requirements of their own
jurisdiction. CSD Participants will not monitor this and should an investor remain
silent or make an election, it will be deemed to indicate that the investor can
receive such entitlements.

Parked Action Items
It was agreed by all Market participants that the following action items will be
parked and discussed at a later stage:
The Elimination of Spreadsheets for surplus rights take-ups, and;
The impact of tax legislation on the Corporate Actions model for T+3.
www.jse.co.za
Securities Lending & Borrowing
Increase Liquidity
Securities Lending & Borrowing is an enabler for T+3
Focus is on creating more liquidity around Securities Lending &
Borrowing:• Education with lenders that they will be protected on any corporate
action entitlements – do not have to recall
• Education that lenders may start lending out entitlements from LDT+1
for PD
• Increase limits for lending – Pension Funds,etc
• More lenders
• Controlled clients loaning out shares
