3.2. Old Mutual Shareholders will accordingly receive monetary compensation in respect of their
fractional entitlements to Unbundled Nedbank Shares. In accordance with the JSE Listings
Requirements, this amount will be determined with reference to the volume weighted average
price in Rand of a Nedbank Share traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on Wednesday,

4. EXCHANGE CONTROL
This summary is based on the laws as in force and as applied in practice as at the date of this
announcement and is subject to changes to those laws and practices subsequent to such date.
The following summary of the Exchange Control Regulations does not constitute advice, is intended as
a guide only and is not a comprehensive statement of the Exchange Control Regulations. Old Mutual
Shareholders who have any queries regarding the Exchange Control Regulations should contact their
own professional advisers without delay.
The concept of "emigration" as recognised by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South
African Reserve Bank (“SARB”) is being phased out with effect from 1 March 2021 and is replaced by
a verification process. Exchange Control Circular 6/2021 dated 26 February 2021 and Circular 8/2021
dated 21 May 2021 set out the changes in relation to emigrants and changes to the Currency and
Exchanges Manual for Authorised Dealers ("AD Manual”) with effect from 1 March 2021.
Until 28 February 2021, the Exchange Control Regulations read with the AD Manual distinguished
between residents, non-residents and emigrants. As of 1 March 2021, under the new framework,
natural person residents and natural person emigrants are treated identically. To ensure a smooth
transition from the old framework to the new framework, natural persons who applied to be emigrants
under the old framework, by obtaining a MP336(b) form that was attested by an authorised Dealer on
or before 28 February 2021, will be dealt with in terms of the exchange control procedures relating to
emigration for exchange control purposes prior to 1 March 2021 provided their emigration applications
were approved on or before 28 February 2021.
For the purposes of the Exchange Control Regulations:
- a resident means any person, being a natural person or a legal entity, who has taken up permanent
residence, is domiciled or registered in South Africa;
- a non-resident is a person, being a natural person or a legal entity, whose normal place of
residence, domicile or registration is outside the Common Monetary Area; and
- an emigrant means a South African resident who has left South Africa to take up permanent
residence or has been granted permanent residence in any country outside of the Common
Monetary Area. For purposes of the Exchange Control Regulations read with the AD Manual, a
South African resident will only be regarded as an emigrant if he placed his emigration on record
with the SARB under the exchange control policy which applied up to 28 February 2021.
Old Mutual Shareholders who are uncertain as to whether they are residents or non-residents or South
African non-tax residents (emigrants) for purposes of the Exchange Control Regulations read with the
AD Manual, are advised to approach their relevant authorised Dealer to request confirmation.
4.1. Emigrants from the Common Monetary Area consisting of South Africa, Namibia and the
Kingdoms of Lesotho and eSwatini ("CMA")
Any share certificates that may be issued by Nedbank to emigrants from the CMA will be
endorsed "non- resident" in accordance with the Exchange Control Regulations.
Uncertificated Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be credited directly to an Old Mutual
Shareholder's emigrant share account at the CSDP or broker controlling its remaining portfolios
and an appropriate electronic entry will be made in the relevant register reflecting a "non-resident"
endorsement. The CSDP or broker will ensure that the emigrant adheres to the Exchange Control
Regulations.
Any Unbundled Nedbank Shares issued in certificated form, cash dividends and Cash Proceeds
based on an emigrant's Unbundled Nedbank Shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control
Regulations will be forwarded to the authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling their
assets. Elections by emigrants must be made through the authorised dealer in foreign exchange
controlling their assets.
4.2. Residents outside of the CMA
Any share certificates that may be issued by Nedbank to non-residents of the CMA will be
endorsed "non- resident" in accordance with the Exchange Control Regulations.
Uncertificated Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be credited directly to an Old Mutual
Shareholder's non-resident share account at the CSDP or broker controlling its portfolios and an
appropriate electronic entry will be made in the relevant register reflecting a "non-resident"
endorsement. The CSDP or broker will ensure that the non- resident adheres to the Exchange
Control Regulations.
Cash dividends and Cash Proceeds due to non-residents are freely transferable from South
Africa, subject to being converted into a currency other than Rand or paid for the credit of a non-
resident Rand account.
4.3. Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders
This following summary describes the restrictions applicable to Old Mutual Shareholders who
have registered addresses outside South Africa, the United Kingdom, Malawi, Namibia and
Zimbabwe, who are nationals, citizens or residents of countries other than South Africa, the
United Kingdom, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe (“Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders”), or
who are persons (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) who have a
contractual or legal obligation to forward this announcement to a jurisdiction outside South Africa,
the United Kingdom, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe or who hold Old Mutual Shares for the
account or benefit of any such Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder.
The distribution of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares to Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders in
terms of the Unbundling may be affected by the laws of such Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders’
relevant jurisdiction. Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders should consult their professional
advisers as to whether they require any governmental or other consent or need to observe any
other formalities to enable them to take up their entitlements with respect to the Unbundled
Nedbank Shares.
It is the responsibility of any Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder (including, without limitation,
nominees, agents and trustees for such persons) being notified by this announcement of the
Unbundling and wishing to take up their entitlement to Unbundled Nedbank Shares to satisfy
themselves as to the full observance of the applicable laws of any relevant territory, including
obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities
and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories.
Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders are obliged to observe the applicable legal requirements of
their relevant jurisdictions.
4.4. Restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders
A restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder includes any Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder
who is unable to receive any of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares to be distributed to him/her/it
because of the laws of the jurisdiction of residence, establishment, incorporation or otherwise of
that Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder, or any Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder that Old Mutual
is not permitted to transfer any of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares to because of the laws of the
jurisdiction of residence, establishment, incorporation or otherwise of that Overseas Old Mutual
Shareholder ("Restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder"). The Unbundled Nedbank
Shares to which Restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders would be entitled in terms of the
Unbundling will be aggregated and sold on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in an orderly
manner by the SA Registrar on behalf of and for the benefit of Restricted Overseas Old Mutual
Shareholders as soon as is reasonably practical after the implementation of the Unbundling at
the best price that can reasonably be obtained at the time of sale.
CSDPs will be responsible for informing the SA Registrar of all Uncertificated Old Mutual Shares
held by them on behalf of such Restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders.
Restricted Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders will, in respect of their entitlement to the
Unbundled Nedbank Shares, receive the average consideration per Unbundled Nedbank Share
in Rand (net of currency conversion costs), to be converted at the relevant spot rate on the date
of payment of such consideration to the relevant Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders, received
by the SA Registrar pursuant to the sale process as set out in this paragraph 4.4. The average
consideration per Unbundled Nedbank Share due to each Restricted Overseas Old Mutual
Shareholder will only be paid once all such Unbundled Nedbank Shares have been sold.
4.5. United States of America (“US” or “United States”)
4.5.1. Notice to US Investors
4.5.1.1. This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States.
The Unbundled Nedbank Shares have not been and will not be registered
under the US Securities Act of 1933 (“US Securities Act”), or with any
securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction in the United
States and may not be offered, sold, exercised, transferred or delivered,
directly or indirectly, in or into the United States at any time except pursuant to
an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the US Securities Act and applicable state and other securities
laws of the United States. The Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be issued in
the United States only to qualified institutional buyers ("QIBs") as defined in
Rule 144A under the US Securities Act in reliance on exemptions from
registration under the US Securities Act.
4.5.1.2. Accordingly, the Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be delivered to Old Mutual
Shareholders with a registered address in the United States ("US Old Mutual
Shareholders") only if such US Old Mutual Shareholders have demonstrated to
their relevant CSDP, broker, custodian or nominee (as applicable) that they are
QIBs and agree to certain transfer restrictions applicable to the Unbundled
Nedbank Shares delivered to QIBs. Each US Old Mutual Shareholder that wishes
to receive Unbundled Nedbank Shares in terms of the Unbundling will be required
to execute an investor letter in a form to be provided by (i) Old Mutual to Strate for
distribution by Strate to all CSDPs and (ii) the SA Registrar to all US Old Mutual
Shareholders holding Old Mutual Shares in Certificated Form on the Register ("US
Investor Letter"). The US Investor Letter must be returned by the Record Time to
Old Mutual directly either by email to the following email address:
omlgroupsecretariat@oldmutual.com, or by courier to Mutualpark, Jan Smuts
Drive, Pinelands, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa marked for the
attention of Ms. E Kirsten (Company Secretary), with a copy to the relevant CSDP,
broker, custodian or nominee in the case of Uncertificated Old Mutual
Shareholders and the SA Registrar (to the following e-mail address:
qibs@jseinvestorservices.co.za) in the case of Old Mutual Shareholders that
hold their Old Mutual Shares in Certificated Form on the SA Register, the Malawian
Register, the Namibian Register and the Zimbabwean Register or to the
UK Registrar (to the following email address: offer@equiniti.com) in the case of
the UK Register or Old Mutual DIs.
4.5.1.3. Any US Old Mutual Shareholder that is not a QIB or does not deliver a US
Investor Letter will be deemed to be an "Excluded US Old Mutual
Shareholder" and shall be treated as set out under paragraph 4.4 above.
4.5.1.4. The Unbundled Nedbank Shares delivered to QIBs will be "restricted
securities" within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the US Securities Act
and no representation is made as to the availability of the exemption provided
by Rule 144 under the US Securities Act ("Rule 144") for resale of any
Unbundled Nedbank Shares. For so long as the Unbundled Nedbank Shares
are restricted securities, such Unbundled Nedbank Shares or any economic
interest therein may be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only:
(i) to a person whom the beneficial owner and/or any person acting on its
behalf reasonably believes is a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements
of Rule 144A; (ii) in accordance with Rule 144 (if available); (iii) in accordance
with another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
US Securities Act; or (iv) in an offshore transaction complying with the
provisions of Regulation S under the US Securities Act (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, a bona fide sale on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange),
in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of
the United States or any other jurisdiction.
4.5.1.5. The Unbundled Nedbank Shares have not been and will not be listed on a US
securities exchange or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system in the
United States. Neither Old Mutual nor Nedbank intends to take any action to
facilitate a market in the Unbundled Nedbank Shares in the United States.
Consequently, it is unlikely that an active trading market in the United States
will develop for the Unbundled Nedbank Shares.
4.5.1.6. The Unbundled Nedbank Shares have not been approved or disapproved by
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities
commission in the United States or any other regulatory authority in the United
States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed comment upon, or
endorsed the merit of, the Unbundling or the accuracy or the adequacy of this
announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the
United States.
4.5.1.7. US Old Mutual Shareholders should consult their own legal and tax advisers
with respect to the legal and tax consequences of the Unbundling in their
particular circumstances.
4.5.2. Notice to CSDPs, brokers, custodians and nominees holding Old Mutual Shares
on behalf of US Old Mutual Shareholders
Each US Old Mutual Shareholder that wishes to receive Unbundled Nedbank Shares will
be required to execute a US Investor Letter in a form to be provided by (i) Old Mutual to
Strate for distribution by Strate to all CSDPs and (ii) the SA Registrar to all US Old Mutual
Shareholders holding Old Mutual Shares in Certificated Form on the Register, and must
deliver such letter by the Record Time to Old Mutual directly either by email to the
following email address: omlgroupsecretariat@oldmutual.com, or by courier to
Mutualpark, Jan Smuts Drive, Pinelands, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
marked for the attention of Ms. E Kirsten (Company Secretary), with a copy to the
relevant CSDP, broker, custodian or nominee (as applicable) in the case of
Uncertificated Old Mutual Shareholders and the SA Registrar (to the following e-mail
address: qibs@jseinvestorservices.co.za) in the case of Old Mutual Shareholders that
hold their Old Mutual Shares in Certificated Form on the SA Register, the Malawian
Register, the Namibian Register and the Zimbabwean Register or to the UK Registrar
(to the following email address: offer@equiniti.com) in the case of the UK Register or
Old Mutual DIs. Any US Old Mutual Shareholder that does not deliver a valid US Investor
Letter will be deemed to be an Excluded US Old Mutual Shareholder.
4.6. Other Jurisdictions
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement in jurisdictions other than South
Africa, the United Kingdom, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe may be restricted by law and
therefore persons in whose possession any of this announcement comes should inform
themselves about, and observe, any such applicable restrictions or requirements. Any failure to
comply with such restrictions or requirements may constitute a violation of the securities laws
and regulations of any such jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Old
Mutual and its advisers disclaim any responsibility or liability for the violation of such restrictions
or requirements by any person. This announcement has been prepared for the purposes of
complying with the JSE Listings Requirements, the FCA Rules, the Malawi Stock Exchange
Listings Requirements, the Namibian Stock Exchange Listings Requirements and the Zimbabwe
Stock Exchange Listings Requirements and the information disclosed may not be the same as
that which would have been disclosed if this announcement had been prepared in accordance

(as the case may be). Please see paragraph 5.1.3 below for details of how
dealings in Old Mutual Shares prior to the Record Time will be treated.
5.1.1.2. The way in which Old Mutual Shareholders will receive Unbundled Nedbank

Register on which they are held.
5.1.2. Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders
5.1.2.1. If, in respect of any Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder, Old Mutual is advised
that the distribution of Unbundled Nedbank Shares would or may infringe the
laws of any jurisdiction outside South Africa, Malawi, Namibia, the United
Kingdom or Zimbabwe, or would or may require Old Mutual or Nedbank to
comply with any governmental or other consent or any registration, filing or
other formality with which Old Mutual or Nedbank is unable to comply or
compliance with which Old Mutual or Nedbank regards as unduly onerous,
then Old Mutual shall deliver the relevant Unbundled Nedbank Shares to the
SA Nominee, who shall receive the Unbundled Nedbank Shares on behalf of
the relevant Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders.
5.1.2.2. All Unbundled Nedbank Shares to which the restriction in paragraph 5.1.2.1
applies that are transferred to the SA Nominee shall be sold in the market as
soon as practicable following the Distribution Date. Any such sale/s shall be
carried out at the best price which can reasonably be obtained at the time of
sale and the net proceeds of such sale/s (after the deduction of all expenses
and commissions incurred in connection with such sale) shall be paid to the
relevant Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder by the SA Nominee by way of
electronic funds transfer to the extent that the SA Nominee has, or is provided
with, bank account details for such Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder. Old
Mutual Shareholders on the Namibian Register, Malawian Register, UK
Register and the Zimbabwean Register will be paid the local currency cash
equivalents of such net proceeds, which will be converted to local currency at
the relevant spot rate on the day upon which such net proceeds are paid to
the relevant Old Mutual Shareholders. The SA Nominee shall further send to
each such Overseas Old Mutual Shareholder a statement of account reflecting
the number of Unbundled Nedbank Shares sold, the price achieved in respect
of such sale and the amount of all expenses and commissions incurred in
connection with such sale.
5.1.2.3. The payment to any Overseas Old Mutual Shareholders of the proceeds from
the sale of Unbundled Nedbank Shares in accordance with paragraph 5.1.2.2
will be in full and final satisfaction of the rights of such Overseas Old Mutual
Shareholders to receive the relevant Unbundled Nedbank Shares.
5.1.3. Dealings in Old Mutual Shares as at the Record Time
5.1.3.1. For the purposes of determining which Old Mutual Shareholders are eligible
to receive Unbundled Nedbank Shares, dealings in Old Mutual Shares will be

SA Register whose Old Mutual Shares are held in Uncertificated
Form through the Strate System, the transferee is registered on the
Uncertificated section of the SA Register as the holder of the

Uncertificated Form in CREST, the holder of the Old Mutual DI is
registered with the UK Registrar as the holder of the relevant Old

that there are dealings effected and instructions inputted for
settlement through CREST prior to the last day for dealings on the
London Stock Exchange where an entitlement to Old Mutual DIs has
not been settled by the Record Time, a corporate action event will
arise in CREST to notify the parties of the market claim that the
selling party will become credited with Unbundled Nedbank Shares
held through the SA Nominee, in order to assist those who are party
to open transactions;
5.1.3.1.4. in the case of Old Mutual Shareholders who hold a beneficial
entitlement to Old Mutual Shares that are registered in the name of
a Zimbabwean Nominee on the relevant Zimbabwean Nominee
Register, the transferee is registered on the applicable Zimbabwean

relevant Old Mutual Shares as at the Record Time;
5.1.3.1.5. in the case of Old Mutual Shareholders registered on the SA
Register, the Malawian Register, the Namibian Register, the
UK Register or the Zimbabwean Register whose Old Mutual Shares
are held in Certificated Form, registrable transmission applications
or instruments of transfer (as applicable) in respect of those Old
Mutual Shares are received by the relevant Registrar before the
Record Time with sufficient time to allow for registration of the
transferee by the Record Time; and
5.1.3.1.6. in the case of Old Mutual Shareholders registered on the Malawian
Register whose Old Mutual Shares are held in Uncertificated Form
through the Centralised Securities Depository (CSD), the transferee
is registered in the CSD as the holder of the beneficial entitlement
to the relevant Old Mutual Shares as at the Record Time.
5.1.3.2. Based on the timetable as set out in paragraph 2 of this announcement, in
order for transferees to be registered in accordance with the timings listed
above (and noting certain trading and settlement requirements in South Africa,
Malawi, Namibia, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe), the last day of dealings
in Old Mutual Shares is expected to be Tuesday, 2 November 2021 on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange, the Malawi Stock Exchange, the Namibian
Stock Exchange and the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and Wednesday,
3 November 2021 on the London Stock Exchange, though depending on
individual circumstances, the local requirements of brokers in the relevant
jurisdictions and other potential delays in processing a trade, dealings may
need to be made earlier than these dates in order for transfers of Old Mutual
Shares or beneficial entitlements to Old Mutual Shares to be registered in
accordance with the timings above.
5.1.3.3. Similarly, Old Mutual will not recognise any transfer or transmission application
in respect of Old Mutual Shares or Old Mutual DIs received after Tuesday,

5.2.2. It is the responsibility of Old Mutual Shareholders to satisfy themselves as to the full
observance of applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including the obtaining of
any governmental, exchange control or other consents that may be required in order for
them, their nominee, custodian or trustee, as applicable, to receive and hold the

6. TAXATION
The following summary describes certain tax consequences in connection with the Unbundling in South
Africa, Malawi, Namibia, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe only. This summary is based on the tax
law and practice in force in the relevant jurisdiction as at the Last Practicable Date only, which are subject
to change occasioned by future legislative amendments and court decisions, including changes that
could have a retrospective effect. In the case of persons who are non-residents of South Africa for
income tax purposes, this summary should be read in conjunction with the provisions of any applicable
double tax agreement between South Africa and their country of residence.
This summary is general and non-exhaustive commentary to certain tax consequences of the
Unbundling and is intended to be used only as a general guide and does not constitute legal or tax
advice. It is recommended that to obtain certainty on your tax position, you should consult an
independent professional adviser immediately.
6.1. South African Taxation
6.1.1. This section 6.1 summarises the South African income tax treatment for an Old Mutual
Shareholder that is a South African resident company, a non-South African resident
company with a permanent establishment in South Africa or a South African resident retail
shareholder that holds Old Mutual Shares as capital assets or as trading stock. For the
purposes of this section 6.1, the term Old Mutual Shareholder must be construed
accordingly.
6.1.2. The Old Mutual Board has specifically resolved to distribute the Unbundled Nedbank
Shares as a return of capital (paid out of "contributed tax capital" ("CTC”). The distribution
of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares on the Unbundling does not qualify as an “unbundling
transaction” for purposes of section 46(1) of the South African Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962
(as amended) ("Income Tax Act") and should be treated as a taxable event for Old Mutual
Shareholders who are resident in South Africa. Consequently, the receipt of the Unbundled
Nedbank Shares by South African tax resident Old Mutual Shareholders (including the
Cash Proceeds) should constitute a “return of capital” for South African tax purposes only.
Dividends tax should therefore not apply. The receipt of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares
by Old Mutual Shareholders who are non-resident of South Africa should also be treated
as a "return of capital" under general South African tax principles.
6.1.3. Old Mutual Shareholders who hold the Old Mutual Shares on capital account would be
required to reduce the base cost of their Old Mutual Shares by the market value of the
Nedbank Shares received at the date of distribution. Where the return of capital exceeds
the base cost of the Old Mutual Shares held by the Old Mutual Shareholder the excess
must be treated as a capital gain by the Old Mutual Shareholder.
6.1.4. Old Mutual Shareholders holding their Old Mutual Shares as capital assets should be
deemed to have acquired a proportional number of Unbundled Nedbank Shares as capital
assets. The base cost of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares would be equal to the market
value of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares received at the date of distribution.
6.1.5. As an illustrative example, assume that an Old Mutual Shareholder currently holds 100 Old
Mutual Shares as a capital asset and receives 1.31954 Unbundled Nedbank Shares
pursuant to the Unbundling. The Old Mutual Shareholder's expenditure base cost for his
100 Old Mutual Shares is assumed to be R1,000.00. The market value of the Unbundled
Nedbank Shares post the Unbundling is assumed to be R175 per share. The base cost of
the 1.31954 Unbundled Nedbank Shares received would be R230.92 (1.31952 shares
multiplied by R175 per share). The base cost of the 100 Old Mutual shares would be
reduced to R769.08 (being original base cost R1000 less return of capital R230.92).
6.1.6. In instances where Old Mutual Shareholders hold their Old Mutual Shares as trading stock,
the market value of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares received at the date of distribution
would fall to be included in gross income of the Old Mutual Shareholder. The cost of the
Unbundled Nedbank Shares would be equal to the market value of the Unbundled
Nedbank Shares received at the date of distribution.
6.1.7. Securities Transfer Tax (at 0.25%) should be payable by the Old Mutual Shareholders on
registration of transfer based on the market value of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares.
6.1.8. Note, however, that for purposes of Old Mutual Shareholders who are non-residents of
South Africa, where the Unbundled Nedbank Shares are transferred through the agency
of or from a member (i.e. a Johannesburg Stock Exchange stockbroker) or when the
transfer of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is
effected by a participant (i.e. a person that holds in custody and administers a listed share),
the member or participant should be liable for the securities transfer tax. That member or
participant may, however, recover the securities transfer tax payable from the Old Mutual
Shareholders who are not resident in South Africa in respect of whose Unbundled Nedbank
Shares the security transfer tax is payable.
6.1.9. For the purposes of the calculation of the securities transfer tax, the taxable amount shall
be the following:
6.1.9.1. where shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange are transferred
through the agency of or from a member (i.e. a Johannesburg Stock
Exchange stockbroker), the securities transfer tax must be calculated on the
purchase consideration; or
6.1.9.2. where the transfer of shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is
effected by a participant, the securities transfer tax must be calculated with
reference to the declared consideration. If no consideration is declared or if
the declared consideration is less than the lowest Johannesburg Stock
Exchange traded price on the date of the transaction, the securities transfer
tax must be calculated with reference to the closing price on that date.
6.2. Malawian Taxation
This section 6.2 summarises the Malawian income tax treatment for an Old Mutual Shareholder
that is a Malawian resident company or a non-Malawian resident company with a Malawian
permanent establishment that holds its Old Mutual Shares as capital assets and not as trading
stock.
6.2.1. Whilst the Unbundled Nedbank Shares distributed represent a return of Old Mutual’s CTC,
as there is no reduction of share capital in the books of Old Mutual, the distribution of the
Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be regarded as a dividend in Malawi.
6.2.2. There is some uncertainty as to whether a dividend distributed by a South African company
which is listed on the Malawi Stock Exchange could be said to be from a source in Malawi.
In our view, such a distribution would likely be deemed to be a locally sourced dividend,
subject to Malawian dividend withholding tax at a rate of 10%.
6.3. Namibian Taxation
This section 6.3 summarises the Namibian income tax treatment for an Old Mutual Shareholder
that is a Namibian resident company or a non-Namibian resident company with a Namibian
permanent establishment and that holds its Old Mutual Shares as capital assets, not as trading
stock (for purposes of this section 6.3 only, a "Namibian Shareholder").
6.3.1. The Unbundling should, for Namibian income tax purposes, be treated as an in specie
distribution of Unbundled Nedbank Shares by Old Mutual. Such distribution should not
be taxable in the hands of the Namibian Shareholders.
No Namibian stamp duty is payable by Namibian tax-resident Old Mutual Shareholders
in respect of their receipt of Unbundled Nedbank Shares.
6.4. United Kingdom Taxation
6.4.1. Save where expressly indicated, the comments below apply only to Old Mutual
Shareholders resident and, in the case of an individual, domiciled or deemed domiciled
for tax purposes in the United Kingdom and to whom "split year" treatment does not
apply, who hold Old Mutual Shares as an investment and who are the absolute beneficial
owners thereof. Certain categories of Old Mutual Shareholders, including those carrying
on certain financial activities, those subject to specific tax regimes or benefiting from
certain reliefs or exemptions, those connected with Old Mutual or the Group and those
for whom the Old Mutual Shares are employment-related securities may be subject to
special rules and this summary does not apply to such Old Mutual Shareholders.
6.4.2. The receipt of Unbundled Nedbank Shares and any Cash Proceeds pursuant to the
Unbundling will be a taxable event for Old Mutual Shareholders who are resident in the
United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes. There is some technical uncertainty
on whether the Unbundling will be treated as income or as a capital distribution (part
disposal) for United Kingdom tax purposes.
6.4.3. In 2018, the Old Mutual Board resolved to implement the Unbundling by way of a
distribution in specie of Nedbank Shares out of Old Mutual’s CTC (as such term is
construed under the South African Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962). At that time, as there
was some technical uncertainty, Old Mutual requested HMRC's views on whether the
Unbundling will be treated as income or as a capital distribution (part disposal) for United
Kingdom tax purposes.
6.4.4. HMRC indicated that the 2018 Unbundling should constitute a capital distribution (part
disposal) for United Kingdom tax purposes. Old Mutual Shareholders are recommended
to consult with their own professional advisers to consider the implications for them in
light of their own circumstances.
6.4.5. It is reasonable to expect that HMRC should accept a treatment consistent with that
indicated in 2018. On the basis of the indication received from HMRC at that time, the
distribution of the Nedbank Share out of the CTC of Old Mutual should be treated as a
capital distribution.
6.4.6. Accordingly, Old Mutual Shareholders who are resident in the United Kingdom should be
treated as making a part disposal of their Old Mutual Shares which may, depending on
the Old Mutual Shareholder’s individual circumstances (including the availability of
exemptions, reliefs or allowable losses), give rise to a liability to United Kingdom capital
gains tax or corporation tax on chargeable gains (as applicable).
6.4.7. In calculating the chargeable gain (or allowable loss) on the part disposal, a proportion
of the Old Mutual Shareholder’s allowable cost in the Old Mutual Shares would be taken
into account, equal to the proportion which the value of the capital distribution represents
to the aggregate of (i) the market value of the Old Mutual Shareholder’s Old Mutual
Shares immediately after the Unbundling plus (ii) the value of the capital distribution, in
other words, the following fraction:
Market value of Unbundled Nedbank Shares received
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Market value of Unbundled Nedbank Shares received + Market value of Old Mutual
Shares immediately after the Unbundling.
6.4.8. This fraction of the Old Mutual Shareholder’s allowable cost in the Old Mutual Shares
should be set against the market value of the Unbundled Nedbank Shares received, to
arrive at the capital gain or chargeable gain on receipt of the Unbundled Nedbank
Shares.
6.4.9. However, if the value of the capital distribution is small in comparison with the value of
the Old Mutual Shareholder’s Old Mutual Shares, the Old Mutual Shareholder should not
be treated as making a part disposal and, instead, an amount equal to the value of the
capital distribution would be deducted from the Old Mutual Shareholder’s base cost in
the Old Mutual Shares. Under current HMRC practice, where the value of the capital
distribution received by a shareholder is £3,000 or less, such value will generally be
treated as small for these purposes.
6.4.10. The initial base cost of Unbundled Nedbank Shares received should be equal to their
market value of at the time of their acquisition.
6.4.11. No United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax should be payable by Old
Mutual Shareholders in respect of their receipt of Unbundled Nedbank Shares pursuant
to the Unbundling.
6.5. Zimbabwean Taxation
This section 6.5 summarises the Zimbabwean income tax treatment for an Old Mutual
Shareholder that is a Zimbabwean resident company or a non-Zimbabwe resident company with
a permanent establishment in Zimbabwe or an individual Old Mutual Shareholder.
6.5.1. Notwithstanding the fact that the Unbundled Nedbank Shares will be distributed by Old
Mutual from its CTC, the Unbundling will likely be regarded as a dividend (in specie) in
the Zimbabwean tax-resident Old Mutual Shareholders' hands. The Zimbabwean tax-
resident Old Mutual Shareholder would be required to include the gross dividend in
specie in their taxable income where it will be taxed at a special rate of 20%.
6.5.2. No Zimbabwean stamp duty should be payable by Zimbabwean tax-resident Old Mutual
Shareholders in respect of their receipt of Unbundled Nedbank Shares.
