          Interim Dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (No. 30): Currency Conversions

       In its interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2015 published on 6 August
       2015, Old Mutual plc (the “Company”) declared an interim dividend of 2.65p per share (the “Interim
       Dividend”) or its equivalent in other currencies of payment using exchange rates prevailing on 10
       September 2015. 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      55.76210    South African cents per share
       Malawi              23.03     Malawi kwacha per share
       Namibia           55.76210    Namibian cents per share
       Zimbabwe            4.09      US cents per share
       Sweden              0.34      Swedish kronor per share


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


       South Africa      21.0423     Rand/£
       Malawi            869.0743    Malawi kwacha/£
       Namibia           21.0423     Namibian dollars/£
       Zimbabwe           1.5439     US dollars/£
       Sweden            12.9202     Swedish kronor/£


       Dividend Tax will be withheld at the rate of 15% from the amount of the gross dividend of 55.76210
       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 47.39779 South African
       cents per share. The Company had a total of 4,928,335,723 shares in issue at the date on which the
       dividend was announced, 6 August 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 25 September 2015 for all the
       exchanges where the Company’s shares are listed. The last day to trade cum-dividend will be 17
       September 2015 on the JSE, 18 September 2015 on the Malawi, Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock
       Exchanges and 23 September 2015 for the London Stock Exchange. The shares will trade ex-

       business on 21 September 2015 on the Malawi, Namibian and Zimbabwe Stock Exchanges, and from
