BEE CERTIFICATE AND ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REPORT
Shareholders are advised that the Company's 2018 BEE certificate
and the Annual Compliance Report in terms of section 13G(2) of the
Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment ("B-BBEE") Amendment Act, No
46 of 2013, are available on the Company's website at:
www.oldmutual.co.za/about-us/transformation/black-empowerment/bee-certificates
Overall BBBEE status
Old Mutual has retained its Level 2 BBBEE status for the 10(th)
consecutive year.
Deemed Black South African Economic interest in Old Mutual
The Old Mutual share register became more South African
following the share-for-share exchange between Old Mutual plc ("OM
plc") and Old Mutual Limited ("OML") and the subsequent listing of
OML on the JSE. This shift towards a more South African register
had a positive impact on Old Mutual's deemed South African Black
Ownership as measured in accordance with the Amended Financial
Sector Code ("Black Ownership").
An industry wide process which involves the Association for
Savings and Investments South Africa ("ASISA") and the Financial
Services Transformation Council ("FSTC"), constituted in terms of
the Financial Sector Code with the objectives of, inter alia,
reviewing implementation guidelines and supporting compliance, is
underway to clarify the recognition of value distributed to BBBEE
shareholders through the unbundling of an asset.
As the consultation process is still on-going and in the absence
of an agreed approach with the FSTC, Old Mutual has excluded the
value of assets distributed to its BBBEE shareholders as part of
the Managed Separation from its Black Ownership disclosed in the
OML BBBEE certificate dated 13 March 2019. This has more than
offset the positive impact of a more South African register
resulting in a net reduction in Old Mutual' s Black Ownership from
the 21.5% reported as at 31 December 2017, to 19.5% reported as at
31 December 2018.
Old Mutual is of the view that value distributed to its BBBEE
shareholders during 2018 as part of the Managed Separation should
be appropriately recognised.
Should this process deliver a favourable outcome, Old Mutual
will re-issue its BBBEE certificate. In this instance its Black
Ownership is expected to increase to a level above 21.5%, reported
as at 31 December 2017, but to remain below the FSC target of
25%.
