Final Dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009
(No. 19)
The Directors of Old Mutual plc are recommending a final dividend for the year
ended 31 December 2009 of 1.5p per share, which will be paid, subject to
approval by shareholders at the Company`s Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2010,
on 25 June 2010.
The record date for this dividend payment is the close of business on 14 May
2010 for all the Exchanges where the Company`s shares are listed. The last day
to trade cum-dividend on the JSE and on the Namibian, Zimbabwe and Malawi Stock
Exchanges will be 7 May 2010 and 11 May 2010 for the London Stock Exchange. The
shares will trade ex-dividend from the opening of business on 10 May 2010 on the
JSE and on the Namibian, Zimbabwe and Malawi Stock Exchanges and from the
opening of business on 12 May 2010 on the London Stock Exchange.
Shareholders on the South African, Zimbabwe and Malawi branch registers and the
Namibian section of the principal register will be paid the local currency cash
equivalents of the dividend under dividend access trust arrangements established
in each country. Shareholders who hold their shares through Euroclear Sweden AB,
the Swedish nominee, will be paid the cash equivalent of the dividend in Swedish
Kronor (SEK). Local currency cash equivalents of the dividend, for all five
territories, will be determined by the Company using exchange rates prevailing
at close of business on 5 May 2010 and will be announced by the Company on 6 May
2010.
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised on the South
African branch register between 10 May 2010 and 14 May 2010, both dates
inclusive, and transfers between the registers may not take place during that
period.
The Company is planning to offer, for the first time, a scrip dividend
alternative for eligible shareholders subject to finalising the associated
logistics and timetable. A separate announcement will be made about this when
these matters have been clarified.
