Old Mutual takes steps to promote e-comms

Old Mutual plc announces that it will shortly be posting letters to shareholders on its South African branch register
and on the principal and Namibian sections of its main share register in the UK to inform them of its intention to
implement the provisions in the Company’s Articles of Association relating to electronic communications, in line
with the applicable provisions of the UK Companies Act 2006.

In summary, these provisions remove the legal requirement for companies to post paper copies of certain
shareholder communications to all shareholders. Instead companies can make such documents available by
publishing them on their website. Shareholders who wish to continue to receive documents by post may still elect
to do so.

We believe that, by implementing these provisions, we will achieve a reduction in the environmental and financial
cost of printing and posting routine documents, but in a manner that will still allow shareholders to receive
information through the communication channel of their choice.
