FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT AND DIVIDEND CURRENCY EQUIVALENTS

Shareholders are referred to Old Mutual's results announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited ("SENS") on Thursday, 26 September 2024, wherein the Company declared an interim dividend of 34 cents per share.

 

Old Mutual's income tax number is 9267358233. The number of ordinary shares in issue in the Company's share register at the date of declaration was 4,790,906,428. The dividend will be payable to all shareholders (except for Old Mutual shareholders on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE")) on Monday, 21 October 2024. The dividend payment date for Old Mutual Limited shareholders on the LSE is Friday, 15 November 2024.

 

The dividend for South African shareholders will be subject to dividend withholding tax of 20% for all shareholders who are not exempt from or do not qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax. International shareholders who are not exempt or are not subject to a reduced rate in terms of a double taxation agreement will be subject to dividend withholding tax of 20%. The net dividend payable to shareholders subject to withholding tax of 20% amounts to 27.20000 cents per ordinary share.

 

Shareholders on the London, Malawian and Namibian registers will be paid in the local currency equivalents of the final dividend. Shareholders on the Zimbabwean register will be paid the equivalent of the final dividend in United States Dollars ("USD"). Distributions made through the dividend access trust or similar arrangements established in a country will not be subject to South African withholding tax but may be subject to withholding tax in the relevant country. We recommend that shareholders consult with their tax adviser regarding the in-country withholding tax consequences.

 

Shareholders that are tax residents in jurisdictions other than South Africa may qualify for a reduced rate under a double taxation agreement with South Africa. To apply for this reduced rate, non-South African taxpayers should complete and submit a declaration form to the respective registrars. The declaration form can be found at:https://www.oldmutual.com/investor-relations/dividend-information/.
