       Old Mutual plc Interim Management Statement

       A good first quarter with positive NCCF in all businesses


          •   Funds under management up 7% to £288.4 billion

          •   Net Client Cash Flow of £3.9 billion, representing an annualised 6% of opening FUM

          •   Gross Sales are up 14% in the life and savings businesses

          •   Africa expansion progress:
                   o   Nigerian life insurance business gaining customers and recording sales for the first
                       time
                   o   Terms agreed for Nigerian general insurance acquisition
                   o   Nedbank acquires a stake in a Mozambican bank

       Julian Roberts, Group Chief Executive, commented:

       “Old Mutual has had a good start to the year, with positive net client cash flow in all of our
       businesses.
       “Sales in Emerging Markets were strong. The UK recorded positive net flows despite some
       market disruption following the introduction of the Retail Distribution Review.
       “Nedbank has continued the progress it has established over the past 18 months and the
       improvement at USAM continued with net client cash flow of £2.6 billion.
       “We are pleased with the continuing trends in performance of our businesses, following the
       rising equity markets in the first quarter and against a backdrop of continued challenging
       macroeconomic conditions, we are confident in the prospects for the Group for the full year.”

Overview
External Environment
While the economy in South Africa continues to grow, it remains affected by continued global economic weakness and by the
lack of growth in Western Europe in particular. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects GDP growth in South Africa to
be 2.8% for 2013.

Growth in the other African countries where we operate remains strong, with the IMF’s World Economic Outlook forecasting
growth in sub Saharan Africa to average 5.6% in 2013 and 6.1% in 2014. In the UK, the savings market post the Retail
Distribution Review (RDR) has been disrupted with many Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) experiencing challenges in
transitioning to the new regulatory framework. While these challenges are expected to remain in the short-term, we remain
confident that we are well placed to be net beneficiaries of the RDR.

Group Overview
Funds under Management (FUM) at the quarter end increased by 7% to £288.4 billion from £262.2 billion (as reported) at 31
December 2012 due to positive market movements and net client cash flow of £3.9 billion across the Group, with all core
business units contributing positive flows.

Emerging Markets
Emerging Markets maintained its momentum with a strong first quarter in 2013. Net inflows for the quarter were R5.7 billion, up
R1.5 billion on Q1 2012 largely due to a strong performance in Asia and Latin America, in particular from a large corporate deal
in Colombia and higher sales in China and Mexico. FUM increased by 6% from the year end to R765 billion. Gross sales rose
9% to R35 billion on the comparative period.

Life Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) sales were up 19% with the South African Mass Foundation Cluster (MFC) up 16%,
benefiting from a larger sales force and the inclusion of credit life sales, Rest of Africa up 18%, and Asian sales being
reclassified from non-covered sales to life APE sales. We are now trading in Nigeria via our joint venture with Ecobank. Non-
covered sales were up 4% to R24.6 billion, with particularly strong performances in Latin America and the Rest of Africa.

Old Mutual Wealth
Old Mutual Wealth had a resilient start to the year. Net client cash flow of £0.4 billion was flat (including OMAM(UK) in the
comparative period), in spite of a £225 million net outflow during the quarter following the sale of Skandia Nordic last year.
Total FUM of £74.5 billion was up 8% from the start of the year. Gross sales of £3.1 billion were up 19% on Q1 2012.

Our International business had a strong quarter with net inflows of £134 million, significantly higher than in Q1 2012 with an
improvement in sales in all regions where we operate, other than the UK. The continued uncertainty around new regulations
has had an impact on distribution in the UK, such that the UK platform net client cash flow was down 10% at £498 million. Old
Mutual Global Investors (OMGI) gross sales for the period were £1.5 billion, up 68%, helped in part by positive markets, but
more significantly by the first time inclusion of OMAM(UK) sales and an internal transfer into OMGI’s Select range. Further
Nordic outflows are expected in OMGI during 2013. OMGI continued to deliver strong investment performance in the period.

US Asset Management
US Asset Management had an encouraging first quarter with net client cash flow for the quarter totalling $4.1 billion with inflows
into a broad range of strategies. At the end of the quarter, FUM stood at $222.8 billion, up 7% ($14.2 billion) from the year end,
of which 4.8% of the increase was due to positive markets. Investment performance was stable compared to that at 31
December 2012 and continues to be key to future flows.

Nedbank
In the quarter, Nedbank grew net interest income by 7% to R5.1 billion. Non-interest revenue increased by 8% to R4.4 billion
driven by continued growth in commission and fee income. Nedbank remains on track to meet its earnings growth target in
2013, notwithstanding the more challenging economic environment. The credit loss ratio rose to 1.22% from 1.08% for Q1
2012. Nedbank agreed the acquisition of an initial 36% stake in Banco Unico in Mozambique for $24 million, subject to
regulatory approvals.

Mutual & Federal
The first quarter saw a continuation of the challenging claims environment experienced in 2012, with several large fire claims in
the Corporate and Commercial business lines, in addition to large weather-related claims in the agricultural business. We
continue to take steps to improve underwriting performance, including cost containment and selective pricing action on poor
performing lines of business, whilst developing the client base and broadening distribution channels. Terms were agreed in
respect of acquiring Ecobank’s general insurance operation in Nigeria and we are now awaiting regulatory approval.

Bermuda
At 31 March 2013, the estimated remaining cash cost of meeting future fifth anniversary guarantees to Universal Guaranteed
Option (UGO) Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit (GMAB) policyholders was $49 million (31 December 2012: $105
million, 30 September 2012: $305 million). The aggregate surrender rates remained in line with our assumptions. At 31 March
2013, 84% of the UGO GMAB contracts by guarantee amount had passed their five year top-up date with an aggregate
surrender rate of 79% for non-Hong Kong and 62% for Hong Kong contracts.

                                                                                                                                        3
Outlook
We are pleased with the continuing trends in the performance of our businesses, following the rising equity markets in the first
quarter and, against a backdrop of continued challenging macroeconomic conditions, we are confident in the prospects for the
Group for the full year.
