   Notes to Editors

   About Old Mutual plc
   Old Mutual plc was, until the Second Scheme became effective, 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. All these businesses are now independent.

   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.

   ambition to become a premium financial services group in sub-Saharan Africa and offers a broad spectrum of

   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
