CHANGE IN DIRECTORATE

In compliance with rule 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements, Old Mutual announces the resignation of Vassi Naidoo as the non-executive director of the Company, with effect from 31 December 2018.

Shareholders are referred to the announcement by Old Mutual on 26 September 2018 regarding the unbundling by Old Mutual of a significant portion of Old Mutual's shareholding in Nedbank Group shares ('the Unbundling'). Old Mutual implemented the Unbundling on 15 October 2018, through the distribution of approximately 31,73% of the issued shares of Nedbank Group to OML shareholders, whilst retaining a strategic minority stake of 19.9% of the issued share capital in Nedbank Group in its shareholder funds to underpin the continuing relationship and commercial benefits between the two organisations.

Trevor Manuel, Chairman of Old Mutual commented:

Vassi played an important role in guarding both the Old Mutual plc, Nedbank Group Limited and Old Mutual's Boards through the complexity of the successful Managed Separation process. He continuously drove for clarity and transparency in the management of sometimes competing stakeholder interests.

With the completion of the unbundling of the majority of Old Mutual's stake in Nedbank, the Board has agreed that it is appropriate for Vassi to step down from his non-executive directorship of Old Mutual.
