General SENS Submitter Company - Informative Notice - 20261001 Termination of SAPY and PCAP Indices
What this filing means
FTSE/JSE has confirmed that the SAPY (J253) and PCAP (J254) property indices will be decommissioned after market close on 30 September 2027, effective 1 October 2027, with alternative indices already available for users to transition to.
This is an index housekeeping notice from FTSE/JSE — it tells users that two older South African property indices will be switched off in about a year. No company is directly affected; no money is being made or lost. Investors who track these indices for ETF or fund benchmarking will need to switch their reference index, but the market has had years of notice.
Bear case
- The filing does not name any listed issuer whose financials, debt covenants, or fund mandates are tied to SAPY or PCAP, so no company-level impact can be assessed from this notice.

SENS-AI conclusion
This is a confirmed execution step on a long-running index transition the market has known about since at least January 2025. No company is named, no financial exposure is quantified, and the decommission date is already public. There is no new economic information here for any listed issuer or investor to act on. So what: this filing closes the loop on the SAPY/PCAP termination timeline — the practical action (switching index references) belongs to ETF providers and benchmark users, not to company-level investors.
No follow-on disclosure from this issuer is material; ETF providers using these indices will issue their own notices in due course.
