RESPONSE TO MEDIA SPECULATION
In response to media speculation, Old Mutual plc (?Old Mutual?) can confirm that it is continuing to
assess the options available to it with regard to the preferred route to effect the managed separation
announced on 11 March 2016. We will update the market as and when appropriate. As a
consequence of the decision to proceed with the managed separation of Old Mutual, we expect to
receive interest in our assets periodically.
With regard to OM Asset Management plc (?OMAM?), Old Mutual confirms that it has received
approaches from third parties to acquire its stake in OMAM. There can be no certainty that these
approaches will lead to any transaction or any certainty as to the terms on which any such transaction
might proceed. Further statements will be made if and when appropriate.
