are advised of the following changes within Sanlam Group’s Executive Management.
1. Financial Director, Mr Kobus Möller (57), will retire from the executive and board
with effect from 30 September 2016. Mr Möller will remain employed by Sanlam
until 31 December 2016. He will continue to serve within the Group in a non-

Sanlam in 1998 and was appointed as the Group’s Financial Director in 2006.
2. With effect from 01 October 2016:
- Mr Heinie Werth (53), the Chief Executive Officer of Sanlam Emerging
Markets (SEM) will succeed Mr Möller as the Group’s Financial Director and
Executive Director of the Sanlam board. A Chartered Accountant, Mr Werth
also holds an MBA cum laude from the University of Stellenbosch among
other qualifications. He joined Sanlam in 1998 and has held various
executive positions including, among others, Financial Director: Sanlam
Employee Benefits; and Financial Director: Sanlam Life Insurance Limited.

Prior to joining Sanlam, Mr Ngulube was the CEO of Munich Reinsurance

writes both life and non-life business in 45 countries across Africa, grew
profitably, more than doubling its gross written premium income, to just over
R6 billion in 2015.
Commenting on the Executive Management changes, Sanlam Group CEO, Mr Ian
Kirk, said: “We are grateful to Kobus for his consummate professionalism and
diligent service to Sanlam since 1998. He has been instrumental in our growth over
the years and has made a significant contribution to the successful implementation
of our strategy. We look forward to continuing our relationship with him and wish
him well in his retirement.
“I wish to also congratulate Heinie and Junior on their appointments. I am confident
they will continue to add value and play a key role in growing our business.”
The Group announced that it will inform the market in due course about the
successor to the CEO: Sanlam Corporate.
