Mr Trevor Manuel, Chairman of Old Mutual, who turned 70 in January 2026, the retirement age

Company upon the close of the AGM.
Mr Jardine will work alongside Mr Manuel during a three?month handover period from March to

and executive experience across South and southern Africa.
He most recently served as chairman of FirstRand Limited for nearly six years and has previously

of his career, he has also served as a non?executive director across a broad range of sectors,
including steel, retail, manufacturing, IT services, mining services, and infrastructure
development.
He brings deep expertise in financial services, governance, commercial operations, stakeholder
engagement, public policy, and the regulatory environment. Mr Jardine holds a Master of Science
(MSc) in Radiological Physics from Wayne State University and a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in
Physics from Haverford College, both in the United States.
Congratulating Mr Jardine on his appointment, Mr Manuel said: "On behalf of the Board, I want
to congratulate Roger on his appointment as Chairman Designate. Roger has outstanding
leadership experience in financial services and the broader business environment. The Board is
confident that his proven strategic, governance, and operational leadership will be invaluable to
Old Mutual as it continues on its ambitious path of strategic and operational renewal and
enhanced value creation. I look forward to working closely with Roger over the next few months
to ensure a smooth and effective transition."
