       OLD MUTUAL EMERGING MARKETS, NEDBANK AND PROPERTY & CASUALTY SHOWCASE





       Old Mutual plc will be holding a showcase on its Emerging Markets, Nedbank and Property &

       Casualty businesses starting today, Wednesday 4 December 2013 and ending on Friday 6 December

       2013. The showcase will include presentations by management, Q&A sessions and interactive

       sessions on, inter alia, the Group's customer and distribution capabilities particularly in South Africa

       and the Rest of Africa.

       The programme for day one will include macro-economic briefings and an overview of the financial

       services sector, followed by insight into Old Mutual’s customer base. Day two will cover the Group’s

       African growth strategy followed by sessions on how it is meeting its customers’ needs for each

       business. The session will close with a focus session on its Latin American and Asian businesses

       and an overview of the financials. Day three will provide attendees with the opportunity to visit Old

       Mutual and Nedbank branches.

       The Group has 2015 targets for Emerging Markets of nine million customers, return on equity in the

       range of 20-25% and profits from Old Mutual Africa equivalent to 15% of those of Old Mutual South

       Africa.

       In addition, the Group announces its Property & Casualty business targets from 2016 onwards of: a

       return on equity in the range of 15-20%, an underwriting margin in the range of 4-6% and a combined

       ratio in the range of 94-96%.

       Nedbank Group’s financial guidance to meet its medium-to-long-term diluted headline earnings per

       share growth target (being, greater than or equal to GDP plus CPI plus 5%) in 2013 and the other

       previously published targets, remains unchanged.

       There will also be a presentation on the development of the generation of free surplus and capital for

       the Emerging Markets business.

       Old Mutual today announces that its acquisition of a majority stake in Oceanic’s Nigerian property &

       casualty business has been completed.
