OLD MUTUAL BULA TSELA TRANSACTION

Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 20 April 2022 ("Transaction Announcement") which advised shareholders that the Company is entering into a transformative B-BBEE ownership transaction named Old Mutual Bula Tsela, seSotho for "open or pave the way" ("Transaction").

As stated in the Transaction Announcement, the Transaction entails, inter alia and subject to the fulfilment or waiver of certain conditions precedent, the issue of 205 326 842 new Old Mutual ordinary shares ("Old Mutual Shares") for cash. Once issued, these Old Mutual Shares will constitute approximately 4.2% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company, held as follows:

-        employee share ownership trusts will hold, in total, approximately 1.6% of Old Mutual's issued share capital for the benefit of employees of the Old Mutual group ("ESOP Scheme"), in addition to Old Mutual Shares they currently hold for other Old Mutual group employee plans. The subscription price of these shares will be funded from contributions by employer companies within the Old Mutual group, constituting financial assistance as contemplated in the Companies Act, 2008 ("Companies Act");

-        a Community trust will hold approximately 1.3% of Old Mutual's issued share capital, for the benefit of various qualifying Black community beneficiaries. The subscription price of these shares will be funded by way of financial assistance from Old Mutual in the form of a cash contribution; and

-        Black members of the public and Black-owned entities (collectively, "Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons") will be invited, via a prospectus, to apply for ordinary shares ("RetailCo Shares") in a special purpose vehicle ("RetailCo"), which, in turn, will hold approximately 1.3% of the issued Old Mutual Shares. It is anticipated that the RetailCo Shares will be listed on a recognised -B-BBEE exchange by the 5^th anniversary of the date of issue of the Old Mutual Shares. The subscription price of the Old Mutual Shares will be partly funded by way of financial assistance from Old Mutual in the form of a cash contribution and preference share funding. If any of the RetailCo Shares are not taken up by Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons, these might be held in a warehousing trust ("Warehousing Trust") pending their sale to Black persons and Black-owned entities. The Warehousing Trust might also house, inter alia, the RetailCo Shares allocated to Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons under an extended payment terms arrangement, the RetailCo Shares currently held by Old Mutual and RetailCo Shares forfeited in limited circumstances such as death, default and certain insolvency events. Old Mutual will provide financial assistance as contemplated in the Companies Act, in the form of a loan facility, available to the Warehousing Trust to fund these subscriptions for, and purchases of, RetailCo shares.

In paragraph 10 of the Transaction Announcement, shareholders were advised that a fairness opinion would be obtained in relation to the Transaction. In accordance with the rationale of achieving a truly transformative transaction, the executive directors and prescribed officers of Old Mutual have elected that they will not participate in the ESOP Scheme and that they will procure that certain groups of persons connected to them will not participate in the ESOP Scheme. As a result, a fairness opinion is no longer required.

As stated in the Transaction Announcement, the Transaction remains subject to the receipt of approval from the South African Reserve Bank Prudential Authority.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this announcement, this announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer, or invitation or advertisement for or solicitation of any offer, to purchase, otherwise acquire, subscribe for, sell, otherwise dispose of, or issue, any security in any jurisdiction nor shall it or any part of it form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any agreement or commitment in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the aforegoing, this announcement is not a prospectus or an "advertisement" as contemplated by the Companies Act or an offer of shares in RetailCo, and as at the date of this announcement, no prospectus has been filed with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. Subject to fulfilment or waiver of the conditions precedent to the Transaction, RetailCo will, via a prospectus (which is not yet available), invite qualifying persons to apply for RetailCo Shares. That prospectus will contain detailed information on RetailCo and other information required in terms of the Companies Act and the Companies Regulations, 2011, as amended. This announcement is not for distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into any jurisdiction outside of South Africa if such distribution is restricted or prohibited by, or would constitute a violation of, the laws or regulations of such jurisdiction. If the distribution of this announcement in or into any jurisdiction outside of South Africa is restricted or prohibited by, or would constitute a violation of, the laws or regulations of any such jurisdiction, this announcement is deemed to have been sent for information purposes only and should not be copied or redistributed.
