     DIVIDEND CURRENCY EQUIVALENTS AND SARB APPROVAL FOR SPECIAL DIVIDEND



Shareholders are referred to Old Mutual’s Interim Results announcement dated 31
August 2018, wherein the company declared an interim dividend of 45 cents per
share and a special dividend of 100 cents per share, which will be paid on 16
October 2018.


Shareholders on the London, Malawian, Namibian and Zimbabwean registers will be
paid in the local currency equivalents of the interim and special dividends. In
Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe these payments will be made through dividend access
trust or similar arrangements established in each country.


The local currency equivalents of the Interim and Special dividend have now been
established as follows:


Malawi               69.05           Malawi kwacha per share
Namibia              145             Namibian cents per share
United Kingdom       7.27            GBP pence per share
Zimbabwe             9.49            US cents per share



These local currency equivalents have been calculated using the following
exchange rates:


Malawi              47.6190       Malawian kwacha per Rand
Namibia             1.0000        Namibian dollars per Rand
United Kingdom      19.9449       Rand per Pound sterling
Zimbabwe            15.2810       Rand per US dollar
