DISCLOSURE OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN SECURITIES
Today, Old Mutual Limited (‘OML’) completed the unbundling of the majority of its shareholding in
Nedbank Group (the ‘Unbundling’), which marks the completion of the final step in the managed
separation of the Old Mutual plc group. The OML group has retained (in its shareholder funds) a
strategic minority shareholding in Nedbank Group of 19.9% to underpin the ongoing commercial
relationship between Nedbank Group and OML.
The abovementioned shareholding is held by Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa)
Limited (‘OMLACSA’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of OML. In order to achieve this
shareholding structure, certain internal transfers of Nedbank Group ordinary shares had to be
undertaken by indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of OML. Where such transfers comprised 5% or more
of the issued ordinary share capital of Nedbank Group, OML advised Nedbank Group thereof.
Accordingly, in compliance with paragraph 3.83 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and Section

beneficial interest in Nedbank Group held by OMPH amounted to 49.59% of the total issued
Nedbank Group ordinary shares;
- Step 2: OMPH disposed of 89 340 242 Nedbank Group ordinary shares to OMLACSA, such that
the total beneficial interest in Nedbank Group held by OMPH amounted to 31.73% of the total issued
Nedbank Group ordinary shares, and the total beneficial interest in Nedbank Group held by
OMLACSA amounted to 19.90% of the total issued Nedbank Group ordinary shares;
- Step 3: OMPH distributed 158 726 732 Nedbank Group ordinary shares to Old Mutual Group
Holdings (SA) Ltd (‘OMGH’), such that the total beneficial interest in Nedbank Group held by OMPH
amounted to 0% of the total issued Nedbank Group ordinary shares, and the total beneficial interest
in Nedbank Group held by OMGH amounted to 31.73% of the total issued Nedbank Group ordinary
shares;
