Board Renewal

 

Shareholders are reminded that, following the Company's incorporation in 2018

at that time, and in line with the Board's rotation policy as set out in the
memorandum of incorporation of Old Mutual, the Board continues to implement a
structured and phased approach to succession. This includes a staggered
rotation of directors to give effect to tenure limits, support independence
and effective shareholder oversight, and balance Board refreshment with
continuity, institutional knowledge and sound governance.

 

Fit and proper statement

The Board has performed fit and proper assessments, in terms of sections 5.6
and 6.73 of the JSE Listings Requirements, of Dr Manning and Dr Mnganga,
before they were appointed as directors and is satisfied with the outcome of
the assessments. The assessments by the Board included an investigation into
their backgrounds, including independent verifications of qualifications.

There are no positive statements to be made regarding the integrity
information, as outlined in section 6.74 of the JSE Listings Requirements, on
Dr Manning and Dr Mnganga.
