UPDATE ON US LEGACY MATTERS
On 13 March 2018, Old Mutual plc announced that The Travelers Companies, Inc. and St. Paul Fire
and Marine Insurance Company (“Travelers”) had lodged a claim in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of New York in relation to pre-existing plc Head Office legacy items relating to
previously disposed of US assets. Old Mutual plc continues to believe that this claim was without
merit.
As set out in the 2017 Annual Results published on 15 March 2018, Old Mutual plc will need to satisfy
the UK court, in relation to any legacy items, that it will continue to hold sufficient liquid, high quality
assets to meet its liabilities and deal with any contingencies, plus adequate headroom, taking into
account relevant insurances.
Since 15 March 2018, Travelers have withdrawn all of the remedies they were claiming and Old
Mutual Limited, which will become the new holding company of Old Mutual plc, has agreed, inter alia,
to provide an intragroup guarantee to Old Mutual plc in the circumstances where Old Mutual plc is
unable to satisfy the highly remote obligations in respect of the legacy items which were the subject of
the claim.

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.
BrightSphere Investment Group, a US based institutional asset manager, which rebranded from OM Asset
Management in March 2018, is now independent from Old Mutual. The remaining underlying businesses are:
Old Mutual Emerging Markets: Old Mutual Emerging Markets seeks to become a premium African financial
services group that offers a broad spectrum of financial solutions to retail and corporate customers across key
market segments in 17 countries.
Nedbank: Nedbank ranks as a top-5 bank by capital on the African continent and Ecobank, in which Nedbank
maintains a 21.2% shareholding, ranks within the top-10 banks by assets on the African continent.
Quilter: Quilter is a leader in the UK and in selected offshore markets in wealth management, providing advice-led
investment solutions and investment platforms to over 900,000 customers, principally in the affluent market
segment.
For the year ended 31 December 2017, Old Mutual reported an adjusted operating profit before tax of £2.0 billion.
