Final Dividend for the year ended 31 December 2012 (No. 25): Currency Conversions

In its preliminary results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2012 published on
1 March 2013, Old Mutual plc (the “Company”) announced a recommended final dividend of
5.25p per share (the “Final Dividend”) or its equivalent in other currencies of payment using
exchange rates prevailing on 11 April 2013. The Company also announced that, subject to
approval of the dividend at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2013 (the
“AGM”), 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 remainder of this announcement
assumes that the Final Dividend will be duly approved by shareholders at the AGM.

The currency equivalents of the Final Dividend have now been established and are as
follows:

South Africa    71.92500 South African cents per share

Malawi          32.18       Malawi kwacha per share

Namibia         71.92500 Namibian cents per share

Zimbabwe        8.09        US cents per share

Sweden          0.51        Swedish Kronor per share



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



South Africa    13.70      Rand/£

Malawi          612.92     Malawi kwacha/£

Namibia         13.70      Namibian dollars/£

Zimbabwe        1.540      US dollars/£

Sweden          9.765      Swedish Kronor/£
Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend of 71.92500 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 61.13625 South African cents per share. The Company had a total of
4,893,345,814 shares in issue at the date on which the dividend was announced, 1 March
2013. 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 April 2013 for all the
exchanges where the Company’s shares are listed. The last day to trade cum-dividend will
be 17 April 2013 on the Malawi Stock Exchange, 19 April 2013 on the JSE and on the
Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and 23 April 2013 for the London Stock
Exchange. The shares will trade ex-dividend from the opening of business on 18 April 2013
on the Malawi Stock Exchange, from the opening of business on 22 April 2013 on the JSE
and the Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and from the opening of business on 24
April 2013 on the London Stock Exchange.

Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised on the South African branch
register between 22 and 26 April 2013, both dates inclusive, and transfers between the
registers may not take place during that period.
