ADMISSION OF OLD MUTUAL AND APPOINTMENT OF ADVISORS

Admission of Old Mutual

Old Mutual is pleased to announce that admission of, and commencement of unconditional
dealings in, the ordinary shares of Old Mutual to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited
(JSE), the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the Namibian Stock Exchange, the Zimbabwe Stock
Exchange and the Malawi Stock Exchange took place at 9.00 a.m. SAST today.


Following the Second Scheme becoming effective on 25 June 2018, Old Mutual is now the
holding company of Old Mutual plc. The UK Listing Authority has cancelled the listing of Old
Mutual plc shares on the premium listing segment of the Official List and the LSE has
cancelled the trading of Old Mutual plc shares on the LSE's main market for listed securities, in
each case with effect from 9.00 a.m. SAST today. It is expected that Old Mutual plc shares
will be delisted from the JSE, the Namibian Stock Exchange, the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange
and the Malawi Stock Exchange on 29 June 2018.


Peter Moyo, Chief Executive Officer of Old Mutual, said: “What’s most exciting about our
listing as an independent, standalone entity is that it enables us to further unlock shareholder
value and create a business with a strong strategic focus on sub-Saharan Africa."


“Our investment case is strong and compelling. Our business remains highly cash generative
and is well-positioned in the right markets to drive added value from our franchises. We are
privileged to have a business with a robust capital and liquidity position, which will provide
the right catalyst to become a leading Pan-African financial services business."


“Exciting opportunities lie ahead for us as Old Mutual Limited and we look forward to
delivering sustainable profit growth and returns for our shareholders, and making meaningful
contributions to the societies in which we operate. By driving long-term economic growth in
Africa, we can positively impact the lives of all our customers and communities on the
continent,” concluded Moyo.
