IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OLD MUTUAL BULA TSELA TRANSACTION AND DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY THE
COMPANY SECRETARY OF OLD MUTUAL

Debtholders are referred to the:

-    circular to shareholders dated 13 July 2022 (“Circular”), and the SENS announcement dated 4 November 2022,
     regarding the Company’s transformative broad-based black economic empowerment ownership transaction
     named Old Mutual Bula Tsela (“Transaction”); and

-    Old Mutual Bula Tsela retail offer (“Retail Offer”) prospectus (“Prospectus”) dated 22 August 2022, which included an
     offer of shares in Old Mutual Bula Tsela Retail Scheme (RF) Limited (“RetailCo”) to Eligible Members of the Public.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement that are not defined in this announcement bear the meanings ascribed to
them in the Circular.

1.   RESULTS OF THE RETAIL OFFER

     In the Prospectus, Old Mutual invited members of the black public, more specifically Black Persons, Black-owned
     Companies and Black-owned Entities (collectively, “B-BBEE Compliant Persons”), to apply for ordinary shares in
     RetailCo (”Bula Tsela Shares”).

     The Company is pleased to announce that the Retail Offer, which closed on 24 October 2022, has been a resounding
     success. Over 38,000 valid applications were received, and the Retail Offer was oversubscribed. RetailCo has
     accordingly raised the amount it requires to subscribe for the Retail Transaction Subscription Shares.

     As was announced on 4 November 2022, 9 750 008 Bula Tsela Shares will be issued to successful applicants.

2.   BASIS OF ALLOCATION

     An allocation methodology has been applied which seeks to achieve the broadest possible base of B-BBEE Compliant
     Persons. This bottom-up waterfall approach ensures that all valid applicants receive a base allocation of Bula Tsela
     Shares with the balance of the shares being allocated towards applicants who applied for a number of Bula Tsela
     Shares in excess of the base allocation.

3.   ISSUE OF BULA TSELA SHARES

     Bula Tsela Shares have been issued to successful Retail Offer applicants today. Applicants will be notified by SMS
     and/or email on or before 9 December 2022 as to the extent to which their applications were accepted and the
     number of Bula Tsela Shares issued to them. To the extent that applications have not been accepted, or have been
     partially accepted, refunds in relation to the unaccepted portions of the applications will be made commencing on
     or about 9 December 2022. No interest will be paid on refunded amounts.

4.   IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRANSACTION

     As was announced on 4 November 2022, all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been fulfilled.
     Accordingly, Old Mutual has today issued 205,326,842 shares in Old Mutual to the Employee Trusts, the Community
     Trust and RetailCo. The JSE has approved the listing of those shares.

5.   GRANT OF SHARES IN THE EMPLOYEE TRANSACTION TO THE COMPANY SECRETARY

     Secretary of Old Mutual has been granted an award in terms of the Employee Transaction (ie the employee leg of the
