OLD MUTUAL VOLUNTARY OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

Investors are reminded that, as presented during our Capital Markets Day in October, we have refined
our strategic priorities to focus on disciplined execution, operational efficiency, and capital allocation,
all aimed at improving competitive positioning and driving growth. There is a strong commitment to cost
efficiencies over the medium term. With strengthened strategic clarity and a robust balance sheet, the
Group is well positioned to deliver long-term value for shareholders. Progress against the targets set on
our revised value creation metrics, as introduced at our capital markets day, will be reported on from
the 2026 reporting period.

The table below sets out certain key performance indicators for the nine months ended 30 September
2025 compared to the nine month period ended 30 September 2024 ("prior period").

Life APE sales was marginally higher than the prior period supported by strong risk sales across all
distribution channels in the Mass and Foundation business unit, partially offset by lower guaranteed
annuity sales in the Personal Finance business unit of Old Mutual Life and Savings.

Gross flows were in line with the prior period, supported by strong flows in Old Mutual Africa Regions,
offset by decreased inflows in Old Mutual Investments. The increase in Old Mutual Africa Regions was
driven by higher international fund inflows into money market products in Namibia, strong unit trust
inflows in Uganda and Kenya and increased inflows in Malawi due to new business. Malawi further
benefitted from the impact of inflationary increases on guaranteed fund and group life premiums. Flows
in Old Mutual Investments were down on the prior period due to 2024 having benefitted from significant
inflows in the Equity and Multi Asset and Alternatives capabilities.

Net client cash flow was adversely impacted by significant outflows in Old Mutual Investments, partly
offset by improved inflows in Old Mutual Africa Regions. Old Mutual Investments was impacted by lower
inflows and expected low-margin indexation outflows of R7.8 billion from a significant offshore investor.
Old Mutual Africa Regions' net client cash flow benefitted from lower outflows in East Africa following
the non-recurrence of the prior period loss of high value mandates in Kenya, partially offset by higher
outflows in Namibia and Malawi.

Loans and advances were 1% down from the prior period. The Old Mutual Finance loan book decreased
marginally due to the sale of underperforming loan book and relatively stricter credit criteria, as part of
ongoing actions to improve the quality of the book. Loans and advances in Old Mutual Africa Regions
declined by 3%, driven by lower disbursements and competitive buyoffs in East Africa. This was partly
offset by stronger loan sales in Namibia, supported by targeted debit order campaigns, increased retail
activations, and more competitive pricing.

Gross written premiums increased by 5% compared to the prior period. Old Mutual Insure grew by 7%,
mainly driven by strong growth in ONE Financial Services Holdings, Genric Insurance and the Retail
segment. In Old Mutual Africa Regions, gross written premiums were negatively impacted by lower
renewals in East Africa and the impact of discontinued operations from the Nigeria business, which was
disposed of in June 2024.

We will report progress against the targets set under our revised value creation metrics from Q1 2026.
