ASX is proposing to update the Procedure to ASX Operating Rule 10A.3.3(c)(ii)(A), by including the S&P/ASX iBoxx Australian Fixed Interest Index as a named index that is considered acceptable under that Rule. The text of the proposed amendment is available here.

The decommissioning of the index named in item (c) of the Procedure to Rule 10A.3.3(c)(ii)(A), being the S&P/ASX Australian Fixed Interest Index, will occur in July 2025. The new index is similar to the index that is being decommissioned. ASX is satisfied that the new index is widely regarded as having robust and transparent eligibility criteria, governance arrangements and methodologies for constructing and maintaining the index.

The new index will be included in the Procedures on or around Friday 20 June 2025, so that any affected AQUA Products can remain compliant with Rule 10A.3.3(c)(ii)(A) prior to the decommissioning of the S&P/ASX Australian Fixed Interest Index.

What do I need to do by when?

The updated ASX Operating Rule Procedure is proposed to take effect on or around Friday, 20 June 2025.

ASX has engaged with the issuers that ASX has identified as being impacted by the change.  If this change impacts your AQUA Product and you have not yet engaged with ASX, please contact Investment Products Compliance.
