       Notes to Editors

       About Old Mutual plc
       Old Mutual plc is a holding company for several financial services companies. In March 2016, it announced a new
       strategy of managed separation entailing the separation of its underlying businesses into independently-listed,
       standalone entities.

       The managed separation strategy seeks to preserve and release the value currently trapped within the group
       structure. The managed separation will be materially complete by the end of 2018.

       OM Asset Management, a US based institutional asset manager, is now independent from Old Mutual. The
       remaining underlying businesses are:

       Old Mutual Emerging Markets: A South African based leading provider of financial services in sub-Saharan
       Africa.

       Nedbank: One of South Africa’s largest banks, with a 20% stake in pan-African Ecobank Transnational Inc.

       Old Mutual Wealth: a leading, integrated, advice-led wealth management business focused on the UK upper and
       middle market.

       For the year ended 31 December 2016, Old Mutual reported an adjusted operating profit before tax of £1.7 billion
       and had £395 billion of funds under management. For further information on Old Mutual plc and the underlying
       businesses, please visit the corporate website at www.oldmutualplc.com.
