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 to be paid on Friday, 28 November 2008.
The local currency equivalent of the proposed dividend for Zimbabwe was set
as 453,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwean dollars per share.
The settlement of dividends to shareholders on the Zimbabwean register has
been held up due to difficulties currently being experienced by the
Zimbabwean banking system. Old Mutual will make the dividend payment as soon
as these difficulties have been resolved. A further announcement will be made
by the Company about the timing of payment as soon as the position has been
clarified.
