Interim Dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2008 (No. 19)
Currency Conversion
In the announcement by Old Mutual plc (the "Company") of its results for the
six months ended 30 June 2008 published on 6 August 2008, the Company
declared an interim dividend of 2.45p per share or its equivalent in other
currencies of payment using the exchange rates prevailing on Thursday, 16
October 2008 to be paid on Friday, 28 November 2008. The Company also
announced that shareholders on the South African, Zimbabwe and Malawi branch
registers and the Namibian section of the principal register would be paid
the local currency equivalents of the dividend under dividend access trust
arrangements established in each country and those shareholders who held
their shares through VPC AB, the Swedish nominee, would be paid the
equivalent of the dividend in Swedish kronor.
The local currency equivalents of the proposed dividend have now been
established and are as follows:
South 42.80 South African cents per share
Africa
Malawi 5.88 Malawi kwachas per share
Namibia 42.80 Namibian cents per share
Sweden 0.31 Swedish kronor per share
Because of the hyperinflationary environment in Zimbabwe, the Zimbabwe local
currency equivalent will now be calculated on 29 October 2008 and announced
by the Company on 30 October 2008.
The record date for this dividend payment is the close of business on
Friday, 7 November 2008 for all the Exchanges where the Company`s shares are
listed. The last days to trade cum-dividend on the JSE and on the Namibian,
Zimbabwe and Malawi Stock Exchanges will be Friday, 31 October 2008 and
Tuesday, 4 November 2008 for the London Stock Exchange. The shares will
trade ex-dividend from the opening of business on Monday, 3 November 2008 on
the JSE and on the Namibian, Zimbabwe and Malawi Stock Exchanges and from
the opening of business on Wednesday, 5 November 2008 on the London Stock
Exchange.
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised on the South
African branch register between Monday, 3 November 2008 and Friday, 7
November 2008, both dates inclusive, and transfers between the registers may
not take place during that period.
