tHE oLD MUTUAL WEALTH JOINT SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN

This notification is made in accordance with DTR 3.1.4(a)

On 9 December 2015, Mr Paul Feeney, Chief Executive of Old Mutual Wealth Management Limited ("OMWM"), a subsidiary of Old Mutual plc (the "Company"), who is a person discharging managerial responsibility (PDMR), was granted an award (the "Award") under the Old Mutual Wealth Joint Share Ownership Plan (the "Plan").  The Plan was introduced in 2013 to align OMWM senior management compensation with OMWM's key long-term strategic priorities. The Plan will reward success in achieving these objectives by linking awards to the growth in value of the OMWM business through quality and sustainable earnings.

The Award has been granted over 65,308 shares in the capital of OMWM (the "OMWM Shares") with an initial value of £1,249,995. Under the terms of the Plan the shares will be owned jointly by Mr Feeney and the trustee of the Plan, with Mr Feeney's interest limited to the growth in value of the shares over the initial value (the initial value being owned by the trustee). Mr Feeney's interest has an estimated fair value at award of £226,619. 

The Award will normally vest at the end of a three year vesting period, subject to Mr Feeney's continued employment and the other terms of the Plan.  At the vesting date Mr Feeney's interest in the jointly owned OMWM Shares, to the extent they have vested under the Award and subject to the terms of the Plan agreement, will be exchanged for shares in the capital of the Company using existing shares purchased in the market, with an aggregate market value equal to the growth in value of the vested OMWM Shares between the grant of Award and vesting date.
