          Interim Dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2012 (No. 24): Currency Conversions

In its interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2012 published on 8 August 2012, Old
Mutual plc (the “Company”) announced an interim dividend of 1.75p per share or its equivalent in other currencies
of payment using exchange rates prevailing on 11 October 2012. The Company also announced that shareholders
on the South African, Zimbabwe and Malawi branch registers and the Namibian section of the principal register
would be paid the local currency cash equivalents of the dividend under dividend access trust (or, in South Africa,
dividend access company) arrangements established in each country and those shareholders who hold their
shares through Euroclear Sweden AB, the Swedish central securities depository, would be paid the equivalent of
the dividend in Swedish Kronor. In the case of Zimbabwe, the local currency equivalent would be denominated in
US dollars.

The currency equivalents of the interim dividend have now been established and are as follows:

South Africa      24.36175    South African cents per share
Malawi              8.50      Malawi kwacha per share
Namibia           24.36175    Namibian cents per share
Zimbabwe            2.81      US cents per share
Sweden              0.19      Swedish Kronor per share

These currency equivalents have been calculated using the following exchange rates:

South Africa       13.921    Rand/£
Malawi             485.75    Malawi kwacha/£
Namibia            13.921    Namibian dollars/£
Zimbabwe            1.604    US dollars/£
Sweden             10.746    Swedish Kronor/£

Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend of 24.36175 South African cents per share
paid to South African shareholders at the rate of 15% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption. After the
Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 20.70749 South African cents per share. The Company
had a total of 4,887,999,142 shares in issue at the dividend declaration date of 8 August 2012. In South Africa the
dividend will be distributed by Old Mutual Dividend Access Company (Pty) Limited, a South African company with
tax registration number 9460/144/14/1, in terms of the Company’s dividend access share arrangements. No
Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) credits will be used for the payment of the dividend.

The record date for this dividend payment is the close of business on 26 October 2012 for all the exchanges where
the Company’s shares are listed. The last day to trade cum-dividend will be 17 October 2012 on the Malawi Stock
Exchange, 19 October 2012 on the JSE and on the Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and 23 October
2012 for the London Stock Exchange. The shares will trade ex-dividend from the opening of business on 18
October 2012 on the Malawi Stock Exchange, from the opening of business on 22 October 2012 on the JSE and
the Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and from the opening of business on 24 October 2012 on the
London Stock Exchange.
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised on the South African branch register between 22
and 26 October 2012, both dates inclusive, and transfers between the registers may not take place during that
period.
