Application of the King IV principles statements

The application of the King Report on Corporate Governance™ for South Africa, 2016 (King IV)1 principles statement is a comprehensive index in our Corporate Governance Report,detailing the arrangements, processes and systems that are in place for governing and managing the various areas of the organisation, to achieve the required governance outcomes. It also confirms the application of the various principles of King IV as required by the JSE Listings Requirements.

Our design centres around the theme of Africa Connected. With a rich history, diverse cultures and latent possibilities - Africa is not only where we are, it is where we want to be. Our reporting suite design echoes this belief, highlighting the potential and power of a continent connected to bridge the gaps between people, and the power of networks to create, execute and deliver value to our stakeholders.

Throughout our reports, you will find succinct "did you know" stories that provide insight into how we are working to make a meaningful contribution towards our stakeholders and the continent we call home.

Assurance

Combined reviews by management and internal audit were performed to ensure the accuracy of our reporting content, with the Board and its sub-committees providing an oversight role. This report has not been audited but contains certain information that has been extracted from the audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, on which an unmodified audit opinion has been expressed by the Group's joint independent external auditors, EY and Deloitte. Our Group internal audit provided limited assurance for non-financial information disclosures.

"could", "may", "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve inherent risk and uncertainty because they are based on assumptions related to future events and circumstances which are beyond Old Mutual Limited Group's and its affiliates' control. These include economic and business conditions and market-related risks i.e., equity fluctuations, interest rates, inflation and deflation. These circumstances could arise from the impact of competition, legislation and the policies and actions of regulatory authorities and the timing and impact of any uncertain industry changes.

"In 2022, Old Mutual contributed R14.7 billion in taxes to the jurisdictions in which we have business operations."

In line with our pledge to significantly contribute to improving the lives of our customers and their communities while ensuring a sustainable future for our business and communities, Old Mutual was among the first companies to sign up to the World Economic Forum's initiative to develop common metrics and consistent reporting for sustainable development. One important element of this initiative includes transparency in tax reporting.

We proudly present our third annual Tax Transparency Report, which forms an integral part of the 2022 Old Mutual Integrated Reporting Suite. As a socially responsible citizen, we understand the deep impact our operations and the taxes we pay have on the prosperity

of the countries and communities we serve. Old Mutual strives to pay our equitable share of taxes on time, in every country in which we operate. In 2022, Old Mutual contributed

R14.7 billion in taxes to the jurisdictions

in which we have business operations. Our 2022 Tax Transparency Report seeks to provide further context and a deeper narrative around the taxes we pay in line with our so-called victory condition.

Our belief is that tax transparency is the foundation on which to build trust. Our 2022 Tax Transparency Report is our way of communicating the steps we have taken to create shared value for our investors, employees, customers and their families and communities.

"The judging panel identified Old Mutual as (one of the) companies that is consistently providing value-added,high-quality tax disclosure."

Nazrien Kader

Group Head of Tax

"We are fully committed to a zero-tolerance approach to tax evasion. We steer away from aggressive tax structures and exploitation of ambiguity."

As a values-led business, we are delighted to present our 2022 Tax Transparency Report. This is aligned to our commitment to delivering on our social contract as a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. Our report follows a similar structure to previous years and seeks to raise the bar further by providing additional insights into the actions we have taken to implement best practice in the areas of tax risk management, tax strategy, tax compliance and reporting.

We see our report as a powerful signal of our intent by voluntarily publishing details of our tax contributions and

a simple narrative explaining our tax position. We are aligning closely with our purpose and strategy, as well as our support for the United Nations agenda on Sustainable Development Goals. Our ambitions do not end there.

As one of the largest taxpayers in every country in which we conduct business on the continent of Africa, we believe it is important for us to continually lead the conversation on tax transparency. As one of the early adopters of Tax Transparency Reporting in Africa, we were proudly recognised by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc (PwC) for two years running in their publication "Building Public Trust through Tax Reporting" - as being among the leading financial services organisations in South Africa, on tax transparency.

We are committed to build trusting, respectful relationships with Revenue Authorities. In this vein, we proactively engaged with Revenue Authorities on major transactions concluded during the 2022 year. In particular, we voluntarily engaged with the South African Revenue Service (SARS), to provide the context

and the tax consequences for the parties, ahead of Old Mutual's Bula Tsela black economic empowerment transaction.

We are fully committed to a zero- tolerance approach to tax evasion. We steer away from aggressive tax structures and exploitation of ambiguity.

As Old Mutual's business environment evolves, its tax function is also transforming and adapting to new developments (e.g. the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 Insurance Contracts, the global minimum tax regime, new tax legislation, etc). We strive to be more agile to produce the right information, at the right time for the right stakeholders through the adoption of new technology, improved processes and highly skilled people. Our Tax Transparency Report is our testimony to that.
