Final Dividend for the year ended 31 December 2014 (No. 29): Currency Conversions
In its preliminary results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2014 published on 27
February 2015, Old Mutual plc (the “Company”) announced a recommended final dividend of 6.25p
per share (the “Final Dividend”) or its equivalent in other currencies of payment using exchange rates
prevailing on 9 April 2015. The Company also announced that, subject to approval of the dividend at
the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2015 (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 109.75063 South African cents per share
Malawi 40.42 Malawi kwacha per share
Namibia 109.75063 Namibian cents per share
Zimbabwe 9.21 US cents per share
Sweden 0.81 Swedish kronor per share
These currency equivalents have been calculated using the following exchange rates:
South Africa 17.5601 Rand/£
Malawi 646.7415 Malawi kwacha/£
Namibia 17.5601 Namibian dollars/£
Zimbabwe 1.4734 US dollars/£
Sweden 12.9022 Swedish kronor/£
Dividend Tax will be withheld at the rate of 15% from the amount of the gross dividend of 109.75063
South African cents per share paid to South African shareholders unless a shareholder qualifies for
exemption. After the Dividend Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 93.28804 South African
cents per share. The Company had a total of 4,925,990,663 shares in issue at the date on which the
dividend was announced, 27 February 2015. 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 24 April 2015 for all the
exchanges where the Company’s shares are listed. The last day to trade cum-dividend will be 17
April 2015 on the JSE and on the Malawi, Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and 22 April
2015 for the London Stock Exchange. The shares will trade ex-dividend from the opening of business
on 20 April 2015 on the JSE and the Malawi, Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges and from the
opening of business on 23 April 2015 on the London Stock Exchange.
No dematerialisation or rematerialisation within Strate and no transfers between the registers may
take place between 20 April 2015 and 24 April (or 27 April, in the case of South Africa) 2015, both
dates inclusive.
