1.         INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE

The Old Mutual Group has been working to champion mutually positive futures
for all of its stakeholders for nearly 177 years. An important part of this
ongoing commitment is meeting communities and society at the point of their
need, transforming as they transform, and actively striving to advance a more
inclusive and equal South Africa.

While the Group recognises the challenges we face as a country, it strongly
believes that a collaborative approach to addressing these issues is required
from stakeholders across sectors, especially the private sector. To this end,
Old Mutual remains committed to driving positive change and shared value
outcomes in practical ways that deliver high impact.

Transforming the economy and creating opportunities to truly empower and
uplift ordinary South Africans is a priority for Old Mutual. Beyond
compliance, the Group believes that it makes business sense to drive
transformation and real empowerment - the more equal and inclusive society
becomes, the more opportunity there is for the Company to achieve sustained
growth.

To achieve the above objectives and in fulfilment of a commitment made by Old
Mutual during the Group's managed separation process in 2018 to government,
the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, Old Mutual has undertaken,
inter alia, to:

-        achieve a B-BBEE Ownership percentage of at least 25% within
three years of the listing of Old Mutual (that is, by June 2021), which has
been achieved; and

-        be best in class, measured at the time of Old Mutual's
listing, within five years post the listing (that is, by June 2023). Best in
class measured at the time of Old Mutual's listing was 30% B-BBEE Ownership
("30% Target").

Old Mutual shareholders ("Shareholders") and debtholders are duly advised that
the Company is entering into a transformative B-BBEE Ownership transaction
named Old Mutual Bula Tsela, seSotho for "open or pave the way", which aims to
meet and exceed the 30% Target ("Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction" or
"Transaction").

The Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction will be implemented by way of the issue
of approximately 205.3 million new Old Mutual ordinary shares ("Old Mutual
Shares") for cash, constituting a specific issue of shares for cash in terms
of paragraph 5.51 of the listings requirements of the JSE Limited ("JSE")
("JSE Listings Requirements") ("Specific Issues"). These Old Mutual Shares
constitute approximately 4.36% of Old Mutual's issued share capital as at the
date of this announcement, and will constitute approximately 4.18% of the
enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately after implementation
of the Transaction. Upon implementation of the Specific Issues:

-      employee share ownership trusts ("ESOP Trusts") will hold, in
total, approximately 1.60% of Old Mutual's issued share capital for the
benefit of employees of the Old Mutual Group ("Employees");

-      Black members of the public will subscribe for ordinary shares in
a special purpose vehicle ("RetailCo"), which, in turn, will hold
approximately 1.29% of Old Mutual's issued share capital. It is anticipated
that the ordinary shares in RetailCo will be listed on a recognised broad
based black economic empowerment exchange ("B-BBEE Exchange") within 5 years
of the date of implementation of the Transaction; and

-      a Community trust ("Community Trust") will hold approximately
1.29% of Old Mutual's issued share capital, for the benefit of various
qualifying Black community beneficiaries.

Old Mutual and its subsidiaries will provide notional vendor funding to the
ESOP Trusts and to the Community Trust, and actual vendor funding to RetailCo,
to facilitate the Transaction.

2.         THE SPECIFIC ISSUE TO THE ESOP TRUSTS

Old Mutual will issue approximately 78.1 million Old Mutual Shares ("ESOP Old
Mutual Shares") to the ESOP Trusts, equivalent to approximately 1.66% of Old
Mutual's issued share capital as at the date of this announcement, and
approximately 1.60% of Old Mutual's enlarged issued share capital immediately
after implementation of the Transaction (the "ESOP Scheme").

All Employees (including non-Black South African Employees and Employees
outside South Africa) will participate in the ESOP Scheme, but a
disproportionate allocation of awards will be made towards achieving the
Company's transformation objectives, including to Black South African
Employees at lower job grade levels.

On implementation of the Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction, Old Mutual will
allocate awards to Employees in relation to all the ESOP Old Mutual Shares. It
is contemplated that ESOP Old Mutual Shares forming the subject matter of
awards forfeited from time to time as a result of staff turnover due to
certain termination events, will be utilised for new awards to Black South
Africans who become employees of Old Mutual from time to time during the term
of the ESOP Scheme.

Employees in South Africa and Namibia will receive awards granting them
conditional rights to the ESOP Old Mutual Shares. Employees outside of South
Africa and Namibia, will receive phantom awards. Employees will not be
required to pay any amount as consideration for the granting of these awards.

The awards will vest upon completion of various periods of service. Vesting
will entitle Employees to take transfer of the ESOP Old Mutual Shares after
the expiry of a 10 year lock-in period ("Ten Year Period"). The ESOP Scheme
provides for the consequences of termination of employment for various
reasons.

The ESOP Old Mutual Shares will be issued to the ESOP Trusts at the following
subscription prices:

-       20% of the ESOP Old Mutual Shares will be issued at a price
equal to the 5-day volume weighted average traded price of Old Mutual Shares
("VWAP") as determined after the offer to be made in terms of the Retail
Scheme (referred to in paragraph 3 below) closes; and

-       80% of the ESOP Old Mutual Shares will be issued at a price
equal to their fair value ("NVF Shares").

The subscription prices of the ESOP Old Mutual Shares will be funded by way of
cash contributions from the relevant Old Mutual employer companies.

As a term of the issue of the NVF Shares, the right of each ESOP Trust, as the
holder of each NVF Share, to 85% of the amount of each Old Mutual shareholder
distribution during the Ten Year Period will be suspended. Accordingly, each
ESOP Trust, as the holder of each NVF Share, will only be entitled to 15% of
the amount of each Old Mutual shareholder distribution during the Ten Year
Period.

A notional vendor funding formulation will be applied, with an escalation at a
rate of 85% of prime. The starting notional funding balance owed to OML in
terms of the NVF Shares is set at 85% of VWAP. The suspension of the ESOP
Trust's right, in relation to NVF Shares, to 85% of the amount of each Old
Mutual shareholder distribution will result in a reduction from time to time
in the amount of the outstanding notional vendor funding. The notional vendor
funding formulation entitles Old Mutual to repurchase, after the Ten Year
Period and at a price of R0.01 per NVF Share, such number of NVF Shares as
have a total value (using the VWAP by reference to the day on which the Ten
Year Period expires) equal to the amount of the outstanding notional vendor
funding at that point.

3.         THE SPECIFIC ISSUE TO RETAILCO AND A RETAIL OFFER

Old Mutual will issue approximately 63.6 million Old Mutual Shares ("RetailCo
Old Mutual Shares") to RetailCo, equivalent to approximately 1.35% of Old
Mutual's issued share capital as at the date of this announcement, and to
approximately 1.29% of Old Mutual's enlarged issued share capital immediately
after implementation of the Transaction.

In line with Old Mutual's objective of achieving broad-based transformation,
Black members of the public (including those in lower income markets) and
Black-owned entities (collectively, "Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons") will
be invited, via a prospectus, to apply for ordinary shares in RetailCo
("Retail Scheme").

Allocations of ordinary shares in RetailCo under the Retail Scheme will be
tilted towards qualifying Black women and other broad-based criteria to be
determined by Old Mutual. Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons can apply for:

-         a minimum of 200 shares at a total subscription price of
R2 000, payable upfront; or

-         100 shares at a total subscription price of R1 000, which
can be settled over a 12-month period, the objective being to facilitate the
participation of a limited number of Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons in lower
income markets in the Retail Scheme.

It is anticipated that the issued ordinary shares in RetailCo will be listed
on an appropriate B-BBEE Exchange within 5 years of the date of implementation
of the Transaction ("Listing"). Until the Listing occurs, the ordinary shares
in RetailCo will not be capable of being sold or otherwise transferred, save
in limited circumstances such as death. Upon Listing, the ordinary shares in
RetailCo will be capable of being transferred to other Black persons and
Black-owned entities in accordance with the rules of the relevant exchange.

If any of the ordinary shares in RetailCo are not taken up by applicants,
these will be held in a warehousing trust ("Warehouse Trust") pending their
sale to Black persons and Black-owned entities. Similarly, ordinary shares in
RetailCo forfeited in limited circumstances such as death and certain
liquidations will be housed in the Warehouse Trust pending their sale to Black
people and Black-owned entities. It is contemplated that the Retail Scheme
will include a provision permitting Old Mutual to cancel the Retail Scheme in
the unlikely event of a low uptake. In such event, the RetailCo Old Mutual
Shares will instead be issued to the Community Trust on the same terms as
those that apply to the Community Trust Old Mutual Shares, as set out below.

The RetailCo Old Mutual Shares will be issued at a price equal to the VWAP, as
determined after the offer to be made in terms of Retail Scheme closes. The
subscription price will be funded as follows:

-       15% thereof via equity contributions from the Qualifying Retail
Scheme Persons;

-       15% thereof via a cash contribution from Old Mutual; and

-       70% thereof via preference share funding from Old Mutual,
attracting a dividend rate of 85% of prime.

RetailCo ordinary shareholders will be entitled to a trickle dividend equal to
15% of distributions declared on the RetailCo Old Mutual Shares (after
deducting amounts required to settle RetailCo's ongoing costs). The balance of
distributions received on the RetailCo Old Mutual Shares will be applied
towards settling amounts due on the preference shares.

Upon expiry of the term of the preference shares, any outstanding preference
share funding will be settled by way of a repurchase by Old Mutual of RetailCo
Old Mutual Shares from RetailCo. RetailCo will thereafter be entitled to sell
its remaining RetailCo Old Mutual Shares, subject to a pre-emptive right in
favour of Old Mutual.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this announcement, this
announcement does not constitute or form part of any offer, or invitation 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 offer of shares in
RetailCo. Subject to fulfilment or waiver of certain of the conditions
precedent to the Transaction, RetailCo will, via a prospectus (which is not
yet available), invite Qualifying Retail Scheme Persons to apply for ordinary
shares in RetailCo. That prospectus will contain detailed information on
RetailCo and other information required in terms of the Companies Act, 2008,
as amended ("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
any such jurisdiction.

 

4.         THE SPECIFIC ISSUE TO THE COMMUNITY TRUST

Old Mutual will issue approximately 63.6 million Old Mutual Shares ("Community
Trust Old Mutual Shares") to a new Community Trust, equivalent to
approximately 1.35% of Old Mutual's issued share capital as at the date of
this announcement, and to approximately 1.29% of Old Mutual's enlarged issued
share capital immediately after implementation of the Transaction.

The Community Trust Old Mutual Shares will be issued at a price of R0.01 per
share. Old Mutual will make a cash contribution to the Community Trust to fund
the payment of this issue price. The Community Trust will operate for the
benefit of various qualifying Black community beneficiaries, with the
objective of supporting and expanding existing Old Mutual initiatives,
beginning with financial education and digital skills development for
qualifying Black individuals and Black SMEs.

Application will be made to register the Community Trust as a Public Benefit
Organisation. The Community Trust will constitute a broad-based ownership
scheme as contemplated in the Financial Sector Code.

As a term of the issue of the Community Trust Old Mutual Shares, the right of
the Community Trust, as the holder of each Community Trust Old Mutual Share,
to 85% of the amount of each Old Mutual shareholder distribution during the
Ten Year Period is suspended. Accordingly, the Community Trust, as the holder
of each Community Trust Old Mutual Share, will only be entitled to 15% of the
amount of each Old Mutual shareholder distribution during the Ten Year Period.

A notional vendor funding formulation will be applied, with an escalation at a
rate of 68% of prime. The starting notional funding balance owed to OML in
terms of the NVF Shares is set at 85% of VWAP. The suspension of the Community
Trust's right to 85% of the amount of each Old Mutual shareholder distribution
will result in a reduction from time to time in the amount of the outstanding
notional vendor funding. The notional vendor funding formulation entitles Old
Mutual to repurchase, after the Ten Year Period and at a price of R0.01 per
Community Trust Old Mutual Share, (i) such number of Community Trust Old
Mutual Shares as have a total value (using the VWAP by reference to the day on
which the Ten Year Period expires) equal to the then outstanding amount of the
notional vendor funding and (ii) such number of Community Trust Old Mutual
Shares as limit the Community Trust's participation in the value of the
Community Trust Old Mutual Shares over the Ten Year Period to 150% of their
initial VWAP.

The Community Trust will continue to operate after expiry of the Ten Year
Period.

5.         THE SPECIFIC REPURCHASES

 

Old Mutual will be seeking Shareholder approval to repurchase Old Mutual
Shares issued under the Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction (these constituting
specific repurchases in terms of paragraph 5.69 of the JSE Listings
Requirements) ("Specific Repurchases") in the following circumstances:

 

-           NVF Shares from the ESOP Trusts, at R0.01 per NVF
Share, if the notional vendor funding is not settled within the Ten Year
Period (or earlier if there is a delisting of Old Mutual);

 

-           RetailCo Old Mutual Shares from RetailCo in three
circumstances:

 

-           in settlement of the preference share funding, if the
preference share funding is not settled by its due date;

-           in the event of certain material defaults by RetailCo;
and

-           pursuant to a pre-emptive right ("Pre-emptive Right
Repurchase") Old Mutual has to repurchase the RetailCo Old Mutual Shares,
should RetailCo wish to sell them after settlement of the preference share
funding and expiry of the Ten Year Period; and

 

-         Community Trust Old Mutual Shares from the Community Trust,
at R0.01 per Community Trust Old Mutual Share, in three circumstances:

-          if the notional vendor funding is not settled within the
Ten Year Period (or earlier if there is a delisting of Old Mutual);

-         to limit the Community Trust's participation in the value of
the Community Trust Old Mutual Shares over the Ten Year Period to 150% of
their initial VWAP; or

-           in the event of certain material defaults by the
Community Trust.

The Specific Repurchases (other than the Pre-emptive Right Repurchase) will
not be undertaken at a premium to the volume weighted average traded price of
Old Mutual Shares measured over the 30 business days prior to the date that
the price of the repurchase is agreed between Old Mutual and the seller.

The Pre-emptive Right Repurchase might be undertaken at a premium to the
volume weighted average traded price of Old Mutual Shares measured over the 30
business days prior to the date that the price of the repurchase is agreed
between Old Mutual and RetailCo, but RetailCo will not be a related party to
Old Mutual at that point.

Accordingly, the Specific Repurchases will not require a fairness opinion. To
the extent that the Pre-emptive Right Repurchase is at a premium to the volume
weighted average traded price of Old Mutual Shares measured over the 30
business days prior to the date that the price of the repurchase is agreed
between Old Mutual and RetailCo, OML will comply with the applicable JSE
Listings Requirements at that point in time.

Old Mutual will only be entitled to implement a Specific Repurchase if it
meets the following requirements at the time a decision to undertake the
Specific Repurchase is made:

-           the solvency and liquidity test in section 4 of the
Companies Act;

-           Old Mutual and the group being able, in the ordinary
course of business, to pay its debts for a period of 12 months after the date
of the Specific Repurchase;

-           the assets of Old Mutual and the group exceeding the
liabilities of Old Mutual and the group for a period of 12 months after the
date of the Specific Repurchase. For this purpose, the assets and liabilities
will be recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies
used in Old Mutual's latest audited annual financial statements which comply
with the Companies Act;

-           Old Mutual and the group having share capital and
reserves which are adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12
months after the date of the Specific Repurchase;

-           the working capital of Old Mutual and the group being
adequate for ordinary business purposes for a period of 12 months after the
date of the Specific Repurchase; and

-           the Old Mutual Board having passed a resolution
authorising the Specific Repurchase, and which states that Old Mutual and any
relevant subsidiaries have passed the solvency and liquidity test (as set out
in section 4 of the Companies Act) and that since the test was performed there
have been no material changes to the financial position of the Old Mutual
group.

 

In addition:

 

-           if Old Mutual makes a Specific Repurchase, Old Mutual
will publish an announcement on the Stock Exchange News Service in compliance
with the JSE Listings Requirements containing the details of the Specific
Repurchase and containing the above financial confirmations; and

-           Old Mutual and/or any of its subsidiaries will not
repurchase any Old Mutual Shares during a prohibited period, unless there is a
repurchase programme in place where the dates and the quantities of Old Mutual
Shares to be traded during the relevant period are fixed, not subject to any
variation, and has been submitted to the JSE in writing prior to the
commencement of the prohibited period. Old Mutual will instruct an independent
third party, which makes its investment decisions in relation to Old Mutual
Shares independently of, and uninfluenced by Old Mutual, prior to the
commencement of the prohibited period, to execute the repurchase programme
submitted to the JSE.

 

6.         INDIVISIBLE TRANSACTION

The Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction is a single indivisible transaction.

7.         CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Material conditions precedent to the Transaction include:

-           approval by Shareholders of the requisite resolutions to

Specific Issues, the Specific Repurchases and the financial assistance to be
provided by Old Mutual;

-           receipt of all required regulatory approvals;

-           approvals from the JSE; and

-           the fairness opinion referred to in paragraph 10 below.

 

8.         EFFECTIVE DATE AND IMPLEMENTATION DATE

The Old Mutual Bula Tsela Transaction will be implemented shortly after the
fulfilment or waiver of the conditions precedent to the Transaction.

9.         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE OLD MUTUAL BULA TSELA
TRANSACTION

Notes to the pro forma financial effects:

(1)       Based on the audited annual financial statements of Old Mutual
for the year ended 31 December 2021.

(2)       Based on the issue of 205.3 million Old Mutual Shares.

(3)       Basic and diluted earnings and headline earnings per share
metrics are based on the assumption that the Transaction was implemented on 1
January 2021.

(4)       Net asset value and tangible net asset value per share metrics
are based on the assumption that the Transaction was implemented on 31
December 2021.

(5)       Adjustments to key metrics only consider the income statement
and balance sheet impacts of the first 12 months of the Transaction.

(6)       The impact of the costs of the Transaction in the subsequent 9
years is approximately R528 million (included in the amount noted in note 7
below).

(7)       The estimated total cost of the Transaction is approximately
R917 million, which includes IFRS 2 expenses as well as initial implementation
costs of approximately R160 million and ongoing administration costs of
approximately R100 million over the 10 year term of the Transaction. Excluding
these implementation and ongoing administration costs, this equates to
approximately 25% of the Transaction value and 1.13% of Old Mutual's market
capitalisation as at 19 April 2022, being the last practicable date prior to
the publication of this announcement.

(8)       Includes a phantom share allocation for employees outside of
South Africa and Namibia.

(9)       Detailed pro forma financial effects reviewed by the Company's
reporting accountants will be provided in the circular to be sent to
Shareholders.

 

10.       RELATED PARTIES AND FAIRNESS OPINION

As executive directors and prescribed officers of Old Mutual will participate
in the ESOP Scheme, some or all of the ESOP Trusts will constitute related
parties of Old Mutual in accordance with sections 10.1(b)(ii), (iv) and (vii)
of the JSE Listings Requirements, and, accordingly, the specific issue of the
ESOP Old Mutual Shares to those ESOP Trusts will require a fairness opinion in
compliance with 5.51(f) of the JSE Listings Requirements.

As noted in paragraph 6 above, the Transaction is an indivisible transaction
