    OLD MUTUAL PLC ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER AND PROPOSAL FOR ITS OUTSTANDING £350,000,000 PERPETUAL PREFERRED CALLABLE
    SECURITIES

    Old Mutual plc (the “Company”) today announces its invitation to:

    (i)    holders (the “Securityholders”) of its outstanding £350,000,000 Perpetual Preferred Callable
           Securities (the “Securities”) to tender any and all of their Securities for purchase by the
           Company for cash (such invitation the “Offer”); and

    (ii)   Securityholders to approve, by Extraordinary Resolution, certain modifications to the terms and
           conditions of the Securities (the “Conditions”) to provide for the Company to redeem (the
           “Issuer Early Redemption”) all, but not some only, of the Securities remaining (if any) on
           completion of the Offer (the “Proposal”),

    subject, in each case, to the terms and conditions set out in the Tender Offer and Solicitation
    Memorandum dated 10 January 2017 (the “Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum”) including,
    in the case of the Offer, the offer and distribution restrictions described below and set out more fully in
    the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum.

    Copies of the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum are available from the Tender Agent as set
    out below. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to
    them in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum.

   Securities

     *   The total consideration payable to Securityholders who submit tender instructions which are received by the Tender Agent
         by the Early Tender and Early Consent Deadline and whose Securities are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer
         comprises (i) the Purchase Price of 103.00 per cent. and (ii) the Early Tender Payment of 3.00 per cent. in each case of
         the principal amount of the relevant Securities, plus Accrued Interest.

         For the avoidance of doubt a Securityholder who validly submits a Tender Instruction shall not be eligible to submit a
         Voting-Only Instruction or receive the Early Consent Amount and a Securityholder who validly submits a Voting-Only
         Instruction shall not be eligible to submit a Tender Instruction or receive the Early Tender Amount.

         Rationale for the Offer and the Proposal
         The purpose of the Offer and the Proposal is to utilise available liquidity to manage the Company’s
         debt maturity profile by reducing outstanding indebtedness and to reduce interest costs. In addition,
         the Offer will provide liquidity to relevant Securityholders.

         Details of the Offer
         In order to participate in the Offer, Securityholders must validly tender their Securities for purchase by
         delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by
         the Tender Agent by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 30 January 2017 (the “Expiration Deadline”).

         The Company will pay, on the Settlement Date, a cash purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) equal
         to 103.00 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities accepted by it for purchase pursuant to
         the Offer plus the relevant Accrued Interest Payment.

         Each Securityholder that validly tenders its Securities by way of a valid Tender Instruction that is
         received by the Tender Agent by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 18 January 2017 (the “Early Tender and
         Early Consent Deadline”) (and does not subsequently revoke such tender in the limited
         circumstances in which such revocation is permitted) and whose Securities are accepted for purchase
         pursuant to the Offer will receive, in addition to the Purchase Price and the relevant Accrued Interest
         Payment, and as additional consideration for its tender of Securities, an additional cash payment (the
         “Early Tender Payment”) equal to 3.00 per cent. of the principal amount of the relevant Securities.
         Therefore, the total consideration payable to Securityholders who validly tender their Securities in the
         Offer by the Early Tender and Early Consent Deadline will be equal to (i) 106.00 per cent. of the
         principal amount of the relevant Securities (the “Total Early Purchase Consideration”) plus (ii) the
         Accrued Interest Payment.

         By tendering Securities in the Offer, Securityholders will automatically instruct the Principal
         Paying Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tender Agent as their proxy to
         vote in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting. It will not be possible to validly
         tender Securities in the Offer without at the same time giving such instructions to the Principal
         Paying Agent.

         To be eligible for the Purchase Price and (where applicable) the Early Tender Payment,
         Securityholders who tender their Securities must not attend, or seek to attend, the Meeting in person
         or make any other arrangements to be represented at the Meeting (other than by way of the relevant
         Tender Instruction(s)). Any such Securityholder that separately seeks to appoint a proxy to vote at the
         relevant Meeting on its behalf or attends the Meeting in person or makes other arrangements to be
         represented at the Meeting (other than by way of the relevant Tender Instruction(s)) will not be eligible
         for the Purchase Price and (where applicable) the Early Tender Payment, irrespective of whether such
         Securityholder has delivered a Tender Instruction or such other arrangements are made by the above
         deadlines.

       Details of the Proposal
       The Company is inviting the holders of the Securities to approve certain modifications to the terms
       and conditions of the Securities (the “Conditions”) to provide for the Company to redeem (the “Issuer
       Early Redemption”) all, but not some only, of the Securities remaining (if any) on completion of the
       Offer, at an early redemption price of 103.00 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities (the
       “Early Redemption Amount”) plus Accrued Interest.

       In order to participate in the Proposal, any Voting-Only Instruction in favour of the Proposal given by a
       Securityholder must be received by the Tender Agent by the Expiration Deadline. However, in order
       for the Securityholder to be eligible for the Early Consent Amount (defined below), such Voting-Only
       Instructions must be received by the Tender Agent by the Early Tender and Early Consent Deadline.

       Notice (the “Notice”) of a meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Securityholders to be held at the offices of
       Linklaters LLP of One Silk Street, London EC2Y 8HQ, United Kingdom at 4.00 p.m. (London Time) on
       1 February 2017 has been given to Securityholders in accordance with the Conditions by delivery of
       the Notice to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and by publication through RNS and on the
       website of the Company at www.oldmutual.com.

       At the Meeting, the Securityholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, pass an extraordinary
       resolution as set out in the Notice (the “Extraordinary Resolution”), which will provide, among other
       things, for the Trustee to be authorised and requested to concur in and execute the Supplemental
       Trust Deed to effect the necessary modifications pursuant to the Extraordinary Resolution in order to
       implement the Proposal.

       The quorum required for the Extraordinary Resolution to be considered at the Meeting is one or more
       persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than two-thirds of the principal
       amount of the Securities for the time being outstanding. In the event such quorum is not present
       within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding thirty minutes as the chairman may decide)
       from the time initially fixed for the Meeting, the Meeting shall be adjourned until such date, not less
       than 14 nor more than 42 days later, and time and place as may be appointed by the chairman of the
       Meeting and approved by the Trustee. At any such adjourned Meeting one or more persons present
       and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than one-third of the principal amount of the
       Securities for the time being outstanding will form a quorum.

       Any Securityholder who does not wish, or who is not able, to tender its Securities for purchase
       pursuant to the Offer may also be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations
       and subject to the conditions set out in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum, to receive an
       amount equal to 3.00 per cent. of the nominal amount of such Securityholder's Securities (the “Early
       Consent Amount”) by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Voting Only
       Instruction in favour of the Proposal that is received by the Tender Agent by the Early Tender and
       Early Consent Deadline. Payment of any Early Consent Amount is further conditional on the
       acceptance for purchase by the Company of the Securities validly tendered in the Offer, the passing
       of the Extraordinary Resolution and the execution by the Company and the Trustee of the
       Supplemental Trust Deed.

       Where payable, Early Consent Amounts will be paid by the Company to relevant Securityholders on
       the Settlement Date in the same manner as the payment of the Purchase Price, Accrued Interest
       Payment and Early Tender Payment (if applicable) is made to eligible Securityholders.

       By submitting a Voting Only Instruction Securityholders will automatically instruct the
       Principal Paying Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tender Agent as their
       proxy to vote in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting. It will not be possible
       to validly submit Voting Only Instructions in favour of the Proposal without at the same time
       giving such instructions to the Principal Paying Agent.

       If passed, the Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all Securityholders, whether present or not
       at the Meeting and whether or not voting. The implementation, if passed, of the Extraordinary
       Resolution is conditional on the acceptance for purchase by the Company of the Securities that have
       been validly tendered in the Offer and the execution by the Company and the Trustee of the
       Supplemental Trust Deed.

       Securityholders should refer to the Notice for full details of the procedures in relation to the Meeting.

       General
       The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Securities validly tendered in the Offer is not
       dependent on the Extraordinary Resolution being passed or the Supplemental Trust Deed being
       executed. However, if the Meeting is adjourned the Company may choose, in its sole discretion and
       without limiting its right to otherwise extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of or terminate the
       Offer and/or the Proposal as provided in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum, to amend the
       terms and conditions of the Offer and/or the Proposal to provide for the Settlement Date to take place
       after such adjourned meeting on the same basis as for the original Meeting (and, for the avoidance of
       doubt, no such amendment to the Settlement Date will entitle Securityholders to revoke any Tender
       Instructions or Voting-Only Instructions in respect of the Proposal).

       Under the Offer and the Proposal, all (i) Tender Instructions and (ii) Voting-Only Instructions will
       (subject to applicable law and the provisions of the Trust Deed) be irrevocable except in the limited
       circumstances described in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum.

                                                         basis as for the original Meeting) and if the Extraordinary
                                                         Resolution is passed and the Supplemental Trust Deed is
                                                         executed, this will also be the date on which outstanding

                                                         Early Redemption.


       The above dates and times are subject to the right of the Company to extend, re-open, amend,
       terminate and/or waive any condition of the Offer and/or the Proposal. Securityholders are advised to
       check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Securities when
       such intermediary would require to receive instructions from a Securityholder in order for that
       Securityholder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is
       permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer or the Proposal before the deadlines
       specified above. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the
       submission of Tender Instructions and Voting-Only Instructions will be earlier than the relevant
       deadlines above.

       Subject as provided in the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum, the Settlement Date for the
       Offer and the Proposal may be earlier or later than the above date and could be different. The
       Company will confirm the final Settlement Date for the Offer and the Proposal at the same time as the
       announcement(s) of the results of the Offer and the Proposal.

       The Company is under no obligation to accept any tender of Securities for purchase pursuant to the
       Offer. Tenders of Securities for purchase may be rejected in the sole and absolute discretion of the
       Company for any reason and the Company is under no obligation to Securityholders to furnish any
       reason or justification for refusing to accept a tender of Securities for purchase. For example, tenders
       of Securities may be rejected if the Offer is terminated, if any such tender does not in the
       determination of the Company comply with the requirements of a particular jurisdiction or if the
       Company decides not to accept any tenders of Securities should the Extraordinary Resolution not be
       passed or for any other reason.

       Unless stated otherwise, announcements in connection with the Offer and the Proposal will be made
       (i) by publication via RNS and on the website of the Company at www.oldmutual.com and (ii) by the
       delivery of notices to the Clearing Systems for communication to Direct Participants. Such
       announcements may also be made on the relevant Reuters Insider Screen and by the issue of a
       press release to a Notifying News Service. Copies of all announcements, notices and press releases
       can also be obtained from the Tender Agent.

       Securityholders are advised to read carefully the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum
       for full details of and information on the procedures for participating in the Offer and the
       Proposal.

       DISCLAIMER: This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Tender Offer and Solicitation
       Memorandum. This announcement and the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum contain
       important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the
       Offer or the Proposal. If any Securityholder is in any doubt as to the action it should take or is unsure
       of the impact of the implementation of the Proposal or the Extraordinary Resolution to be proposed at
       the Meeting, it is recommended to seek its own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax
       consequences, from its broker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or
       legal adviser. Any individual or company whose Securities are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer,
       bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee or intermediary must contact such entity if it wishes
       to tender Securities in the Offer or otherwise participate in the Proposal. None of the Dealer
       Managers, the Tender Agent, the Trustee or the Company makes any recommendation whether
       Securityholders should tender Securities in the Offer or otherwise participate in the Proposal.

       OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS
       Neither this announcement nor the Tender Offer and Solicitation Memorandum constitutes an offer to
       buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Securities (and tenders of Securities for purchase pursuant to
       the Offer will not be accepted from Securityholders) in any circumstances in which such offer or
       solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the
