Correction of ex-dividend date on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange for the Company's
final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2003



In connection with the Company's recommended final dividend for the year ended
31 December 2003 of 3.1p per share (the currency equivalent for shares held on
the Zimbabwe branch register being 242.3832 Zimbabwe dollars per share), the
Company has been informed that its shares will trade ex-dividend on the Zimbabwe
Stock Exchange from the opening of business on Friday 16 April 2004, rather than
from the opening of business on Monday 19 April 2004, as previously announced.
This is owing to Monday 19 April 2004 being a public holiday in Zimbabwe.  The
last day to trade cum-dividend on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange will accordingly
be Thursday 15 April 2004.



The record date for this dividend payment is unchanged from that previously
announced (the close of business on Friday, 23 April 2004) for all the exchanges
where Old Mutual plc's shares are listed, as is the Last Day to Trade
cum-dividend on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa, the Namibian Stock
Exchange and the Malawi Stock Exchange (namely Friday, 16 April 2004) and the
London Stock Exchange (namely Tuesday 20 April 2004).



The final dividend is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting of Old
Mutual plc, which is to be held in London on Friday, 14 May 2004. Subject to
being so approved, the final dividend will be paid on Friday, 28 May 2004.
