       OLD MUTUAL ANNOUNCES SALE OF OLD MUTUAL WEALTH ITALY

       Old Mutual plc (“Old Mutual”) today announces that it has agreed to sell Old Mutual Wealth Italy
       (“OMWI”) to ERGO Italia, owned by Cinven. The consideration for the transaction is €278 million in
       cash, plus interest to completion. The transaction is subject to usual regulatory approvals and
       customary conditions and is expected to complete within six months.
       As at 31 December 2015, OMWI had €7 billion of funds under management and contributed €22
       million of post-tax earnings for the year ending 31 December 2015. The sale is the final part of the
       divestment of Old Mutual Wealth’s continental European businesses allowing it to focus on its core
       UK and cross border markets. Proceeds will be retained by Old Mutual for general corporate
       purposes.
