   Notes to Editors

   About Old Mutual plc
   Old Mutual plc is a holding company for several financial services companies. In March 2016, it announced a new
   strategy of managed separation entailing the separation of its underlying businesses into independently-listed,
   standalone entities.

       The two businesses below are now independent from Old Mutual.
       BrightSphere Investment Group, a US based institutional asset manager, which rebranded from OM Asset
       Management in March 2018,

       Quilter: Quilter (formerly Old Mutual Wealth) is a leader in the UK and in selected offshore markets in wealth
       management, providing advice-led investment solutions and investment platforms to over 900,000 customers,
       principally in the affluent market segment.

       The remaining businesses of Old Mutual include the following:

       OML (which includes Old Mutual Emerging Markets): OML has an ambition to become a premium financial
       services group in sub-Saharan Africa and offers a broad spectrum of financial solutions to retail and corporate
       customers across key market segments in 17 countries.

       Nedbank: Nedbank ranks as a top-5 bank by capital on the African continent and Ecobank, in which Nedbank
       maintains a 21.2% shareholding, ranks within the top-10 banks by assets on the African continent.

       For the year ended 31 December 2017, Old Mutual reported an adjusted operating profit before tax of £2.0 billion.

       FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       This announcement contains forward-looking statements with respect to certain of Old Mutual plc's, Quilter's and
       Old Mutual Limited's plans and their current goals and expectations relating to the execution of managed
       separation. By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future
       events and circumstances which are beyond Old Mutual plc's, Quilter's and Old Mutual Limited's control, including
       amongst other things, those set out in the circular published by Old Mutual plc on 20 April 2018 (the “Circular”), the
       pre-listing statement published by Old Mutual Limited on 20 April 2018 (the “OML PLS”) and the prospectus
       published by Quilter on 20 April 2018 (the “Quilter Prospectus”). As a result, the execution of Managed Separation
       may differ materially from the forward-looking statements set forth in this announcement. These forward-looking
       statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Old Mutual plc, Quilter and OML expressly disclaim
       any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements
       contained in this announcement or any other forward-looking statements they may make.
