OLD MUTUAL SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMME

Shareholders are referred to Old Mutual’s Results announcement dated 14 March 2023, wherein the
company announced that Old Mutual Limited (“OML”) had earmarked a share repurchase
programme of between R1.0 billion to R1.5 billion (the "Repurchase Programme"). OML wishes to
further announce that the Repurchase Programme will commence on 30 May 2023 and continue
until the R1.5 billion maximum amount is reached.

The repurchase of OML shares will take place on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) only and
will be implemented in terms of JSE Listing Requirements. The Repurchase Programme will be
implemented in accordance with the General Authority received by way of a shareholder resolution
passed at the AGM, held on 26 May 2023, allowing the Company to repurchase up to R1.5 billion,
limited to 3. 5% of the issued share capital of the Company for the financial year. OML has approval
from the Prudential Authority for the Repurchase Programme until the financial year end on 31
December 2023.

The OML Board believes that OML is trading at a discount to its intrinsic value and is of the view that
a share repurchase programme will deliver longer term incremental value to shareholders. The
management team remains committed to following a disciplined trading approach under the share
repurchase programme and will only repurchase shares to the extent that market conditions are
favourable. The purpose of the repurchase programme is to reduce the share capital of the Company.

The Repurchased Shares shall be cancelled as issued shares and will revert to authorised but unissued
share capital status.

This announcement is also available on the Old Mutual website at www.oldmutual.com.
