NEDBANK GROUP - [16 October 2009]

ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FIRM INTENTION BY NEDBANK TO MAKE A VOLUNTARY UNCONDITIONAL OFFER TO THE HOLDERS (OTHER THAN NEDBANK) OF IMPERIAL BANK PERPETUAL, NON- REDEEMABLE, NON-PARTICIPATING, NON-CUMULATIVE PREFERENCE SHARES (\"IMPERIAL BANK PREFERENCE SHARES\") (\"THE OFFER\") AND WITHDRAWAL OF IMPERIAL BANK CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT 1. Introduction 1.1 On 16 September 2009 Nedbank announced that agreement had been reached with Imperial Financial Holdings Limited (\"IFH\"), a 100% held subsidiary of Imperial Holdings Limited, in terms of which Nedbank will, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions, acquire IFH\'s shareholding of 49,9% of the ordinary shares in Imperial Bank (the \"Acquisition\"), thereby constituting Imperial Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nedbank. 1.2 It is the intention that following the Acquisition (which is anticipated to be finalised between the first and second quarter of 2010), Nedbank will, subject to South African Reserve Bank (\"SARB\") approval, amalgamate the businesses of Imperial Bank with its relevant existing businesses (\"the amalgamation\") in terms of section 54 of the Banks Act, 1990 (the \"Banks Act\"). 1.3 Imperial Bank will make an application to the SARB to have its banking licence cancelled pursuant to the amalgamation being implemented. 1.4 It is anticipated that the amalgamation will be completed between the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2011. 1.5 Thereafter, steps will be taken to dissolve, wind-up or deregister Imperial Bank (the \"dissolution\"). It is anticipated that it will take approximately 6 to 12 months after the completion of the amalgamation to dissolve Imperial Bank. However, the timing of the intended dissolution is uncertain. 1.6 In terms of the articles of association of Imperial Bank, Imperial Bank Preference Shares will be redeemed upon the dissolution of Imperial Bank at a price equal to R100 per share (the \"Redemption Amount\") together with any accrued and unpaid dividends. 1.7 Holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares are referred to the initial cautionary announcement released on the Securities Exchange News Service (\"SENS\") on 29 May 2009, and further cautionary announcements released subsequently on SENS. 1.8 The Securities Regulation Panel has ruled that based on information provided in submissions received, Nedbank is not required to make a mandatory offer to the holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares pursuant to the Acquisition. 1.9 Nedbank has, despite not being obliged to do so, submitted to the board of directors of Imperial Bank (the \"Board\") a notice of its firm intention to make a voluntary unconditional offer to acquire the remaining Imperial Bank Preference Shares which Nedbank does not already own so as to enable the holders of the remaining Imperial Bank Preference Shares to achieve more certainty in relation to the value and tenure of their holdings. 2. Reason for the amalgamation The amalgamation will result in more efficient structures being established in the Nedbank group since the Nedbank group has been required, inter alia, to duplicate governance structures, risk management systems and infrastructures (e.g. properties, computer systems etc) in respect of similar businesses conducted by Imperial Bank and Nedbank. 3. The Offer 3.1 Terms and mechanism of the Offer Nedbank, which currently holds 50,1% of Imperial Bank\'s ordinary shares and approximately 35% of Imperial Bank Preference Shares, is offering to acquire all of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares which Nedbank does not already own. In the event that 90% or more, but less than 100%, of the holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares (other than Nedbank) accept the Offer, Nedbank will invoke the provisions of section 440K of the Companies Act, 1973, (the \"Companies Act\") to compel acceptance of the Offer by the remaining holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares which did not accept the Offer. 3.2 Offer Consideration Nedbank offers to exchange the holdings of the registered holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares for perpetual, non-redeemable, non- cumulative, non-participating preference shares in the share capital of Nedbank (\"Nedbank Preference Shares\") in the ratio of 10 Nedbank Preference Shares for each Imperial Bank Preference Share held (\"Exchange Ratio\"). The rights and privileges attaching to the Nedbank Preference Shares will be set out in the offer document referred to in paragraph 8 below. 3.3 No Increase Statement Nedbank will not increase the offer consideration. 3.4 Basis of determination of Exchange Ratio The Exchange Ratio is equal to the ratio of the nominal value of an Imperial Bank Preference Share (R100) to the nominal value of a Nedbank Preference Share and is consistent with Nedbank\'s assessment of: 3.4.1 an exchange basis that will result in the holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares improving their income earnings position in comparison to their income earnings position had they continued to own Imperial Bank Preference Shares; 3.4.2 the yields on similar or better rated preference shares listed on the securities exchange operated by JSE Limited (\"JSE\") (including Nedbank Preference Shares); 3.4.3 the present value of future dividends and the redemption proceeds of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares upon the dissolution of Imperial Bank at an uncertain time in the future on an unconditional basis. 3.5 Opinions The Board of Imperial Bank has appointed Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited (\"Ernst & Young\") as an independent expert to provide an opinion on the terms and conditions of the Offer to ensure that they are fair and reasonable to Imperial Bank Preference Shareholders. Imperial Bank will appoint a sub-committee of independent directors to consider the findings of the independent expert. Preference Shareholders will be informed in due course of the outcome of this review and of the opinion of the aforesaid sub-committee. 3.6 Offer Dates 3.6.1 The Offer opens on Thursday, 12 November 2009, or such earlier date as Nedbank may in its discretion elect, subject to regulatory approval, and closes on the first Friday, at least 21 days thereafter (the \"Offer Period\"). 3.6.2 The Securities Regulation Panel requires that the Offer is open for a period of at least 21 days. Subject to approval by the Securities Regulation Panel, Nedbank reserves the right to extend the Offer Period. An announcement regarding any such extension will be published in the press and will be released on the SENS. 3.7 Acceptance or rejection of the Offer This Offer will be open to all registered holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares (other than Nedbank) who have legal title thereto and are able to effect unencumbered transfer of their Imperial Bank Preference Shares to Nedbank during the Offer Period. 3.7.1 Nedbank will issue new Nedbank Preference Shares to registered holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares which elect to accept the Offer as and when such acceptances are received during the Offer Period. 3.7.2 Registered holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares which wish to accept the Offer should follow the instructions in the offer document that will be sent to them by mail or contact their financial advisors or stockbrokers in this regard. 3.7.3 Holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares which do not wish to accept the Offer do not have to respond to the invitation by Nedbank to exchange their Imperial Bank Preference Shares. 3.7.4 If Nedbank invokes the provisions of section 440K of the Companies Act, it will give written notice thereof to the holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares which did not accept the Offer. 3.8 Special arrangements No arrangements exist between Nedbank, Imperial Bank, or any other parties acting in concert with Nedbank or Imperial Bank in relation to the Offer. This is an unconditional Offer and is not subject to the Acquisition becoming unconditional or the implementation of the amalgamation. Imperial Holdings Limited and IFH are not holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares and are not acting in concert with Nedbank or Imperial Bank in relation to the Offer. 4. Undertaking by Nedbank Nedbank has irrevocably undertaken to the Board that it will ensure that from the date of completion of the amalgamation until such time as the Imperial Bank Preference Shares are redeemed, Imperial Bank shall remain in a position to pay any preference share dividends due on Imperial Bank Preference Shares and a return of capital on dissolution of Imperial Bank. In addition, Nedbank will procure that, from the date of completion of the amalgamation until such time as the resolution for the dissolution of Imperial Bank is passed, a preference dividend will be declared and paid to the holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares on the preference dividend payment dates as defined in the articles of association of Imperial Bank, notwithstanding that, in terms of the rights attaching to the Imperial Bank Preference Shares, the holders of the Imperial Bank Preference Shares are not, entitled to same. 5.

Based on a par value for Imperial Bank Preference Shares of R100.00 per preference share and a par value for Nedbank Preference Shares of R10.00 per preference share. 3. The notional dividend assumes a prevailing prime overdraft rate of 10.5%. 4. Clean closing prices are calculated by removing both notionally accrued dividends and declared but unpaid dividends from the closing listed market price on the JSE. 6. Taxation The effect of taxation on the holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares which accept the Offer will vary, depending on the circumstances of each shareholder. In considering the Offer, holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares should take their own tax advice. 7. Advantages of the Offer In Nedbank\'s view, the Offer presents, inter alia, the following advantages to the holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares: 7.1 the ability to lock in the gain in the market price of an Imperial Bank Preference Share since 29 May 2009, being the date on which Imperial Bank issued a cautionary announcement in regard to the Acquisition; 7.2 Holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares accepting the Offer will receive an increase in the total dividends received compared to their equivalent current holding of Imperial Bank Preference Shares as shown under the financial effects in paragraph 5 above. 7.3 the Offer is unconditional and provides holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares who accept the Offer, with the opportunity to remain invested in preference shares of a similar type. Holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares who do not accept the Offer will, upon the dissolution of Imperial Bank, be entitled to the Redemption Amount as well as any accrued and unpaid dividends. The timing of the dissolution is however dependent on a number of conditions being fulfilled, some of which are outside Nedbank\'s control; and 7.4 increased security, as Nedbank has a larger balance sheet and more diversified earnings, relative to that of Imperial Bank. 8. Offer document and withdrawal of cautionary announcement An offer document, which is subject to regulatory approval, providing full details of the Offer will be posted in due course to holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares. The holders of Imperial Bank Preference Shares are referred to the cautionary announcement dated Monday, 28 September 2009 and are advised that they are no longer required to exercise caution when dealing in Imperial Bank Preference Shares.

MUTUAL & FEDERAL - [15 October 2009]

ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FIRM INTENTION BY OLD MUTUAL PLC (\"OLD MUTUAL\") TO MAKE AN OFFER TO ACQUIRE THOSE MUTUAL & FEDERAL ORDINARY SHARES NOT CURRENTLY BENEFICIALLY OWNED BY OLD MUTUAL AND/OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES (\"OLD MUTUAL GROUP\") 1 Introduction Mutual & Federal shareholders are advised that Old Mutual, which currently holds, directly and indirectly, approximately 73.5% of Mutual & Federal ordinary shares, has submitted to the board of directors of Mutual & Federal (\"the Board\") a notice of its firm intention to make an offer to Mutual & Federal shareholders to acquire the remaining shares in Mutual & Federal\'s ordinary share capital not currently beneficially owned by the Old Mutual Group (\"Minority Shareholding\") (\"the Offer\"). 2 Terms and mechanism of the Offer Old Mutual is proposing to acquire the Minority Shareholding, by way of a scheme of arrangement (\"Scheme\") in terms of section 311 of the Companies Act, No. 61 of 1973, as amended (\"the Companies Act\"), subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent in paragraphs 7 and 8 below. The Offer has been based on an offer price of R21.25 per Mutual & Federal ordinary share (\"Take-Out Price\") which Old Mutual intends to settle by way of an issue of new Old Mutual ordinary shares (\"Scheme Consideration\"). The number of new Old Mutual ordinary shares which will constitute the Scheme Consideration will be based on the Take-Out Price and the 30-day volume weighted average price (\"VWAP\") of Old Mutual\'s ordinary shares traded on the JSE Limited (\"JSE\"), at the last practicable date prior to the printing of the Scheme document to be posted to Mutual & Federal shareholders. Based on the Take-Out Price of R21.25 per Mutual & Federal ordinary share and the 30-day VWAP of Old Mutual ordinary shares as at the close of business on 13 October 2009 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this announcement), of R11.87 per Old Mutual ordinary share, the Scheme Consideration translates into an indicative exchange ratio of 1.79 Old Mutual ordinary shares per Mutual & Federal ordinary share. Mutual & Federal\'s various broad-based black economic empowerment entities and its management and staff share scheme trusts (\"Staff Trusts\"), (jointly \"Trusts\"), will form part of the Scheme and will therefore also receive Old Mutual ordinary shares as Scheme Consideration. The documentation relating to the Trusts will be amended as may be required, and in the case of some of the Staff Trusts, with, inter alia, the approval in a general meeting of Mutual & Federal shareholders (\"General Meeting\"), in order to allow them to participate in the Scheme, to allow them to exercise their voting rights in whatever manner they deem fit and for them to be able to hold Old Mutual ordinary shares in substitution for Mutual & Federal ordinary shares in the event that the Scheme is sanctioned and implemented (\"the Trust Amendments\"). The Scheme Consideration results in the following premiums being paid to Mutual & Federal\'s shareholders: Mutual & Federal\'s share price as at 13 Premium based on October 2009: the Take-Out Price Based on closing price of R17.75 19.7% Based on 30-day VWAP of R17.54 21.1% The Offer is made on the basis that Mutual & Federal shall be entitled to make dividend payments to Mutual & Federal shareholders in the normal course on the same basis as dividends have been calculated and paid historically (\"Normal Dividends\"). Should Mutual & Federal declare Normal Dividends after the date of the Offer but before the actual date on which payment is made of the Scheme Consideration in terms of the Scheme (\"the Actual Payment Date\"), the aggregate Scheme Consideration will be adjusted downwards by an amount equal to the total amount of such dividends to be paid to the Mutual & Federal shareholders on the date of the declaration of the dividend plus the total amount of the Secondary Tax on Companies payable by Mutual & Federal on the total amount of the relevant Normal Dividends. 3 Old Mutual\'s rationale for the Offer 3.1 The Offer is part of Old Mutual\'s focus on driving value creation and optimising internal efficiencies throughout the Old Mutual Group; and 3.2 The Offer will unlock capital synergies and leverage additional capabilities throughout the Old Mutual Group. 4 Fairness opinion JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Johannesburg Branch (\"JP Morgan\") has been appointed by the Board in terms of Rule 3.1 of the Securities Regulation Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Rules of the Securities Regulation Panel (\"SRP\") (\"SRP Code\") to advise the Board on the financial terms of the Offer. JP Morgan\'s opinion will be made known to shareholders in due course. 5 Shareholder support Old Mutual has received irrevocable undertakings from Mutual & Federal ordinary shareholders holding, in aggregate, 22.5% of the Minority Shareholding, whereby they have undertaken to vote in favour of the Offer at the Scheme meeting and all resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting, subject to the Trust Amendments being made. Further details of these Mutual & Federal shareholders with regards to their shareholding in Mutual & Federal are disclosed below: Number of As % As % Mutual & shareholding shareholding Federal in Mutual & in the ordinary Federal Minority shares held ordinary Shareholding share capital WIPHOLD Financial 16 690 569 5.23% 19.71% Services Number Three Trust Mtha Financial 2 364 195 0.74% 2.79% Services Trust Total 19 054 764 5.97% 22.50% 6 Special arrangements No arrangements exist between Old Mutual, Mutual & Federal, or any parties acting in concert with Old Mutual or with Mutual & Federal in relation to the Offer. Similarly, there have been no dealings in relation to the Offer between Old Mutual, Mutual & Federal, or any parties acting in concert with Old Mutual or with Mutual & Federal. 7 The Offer Conditions The Offer is subject to the fulfilment or waiver (where appropriate) of, inter alia, the following conditions (\"the Offer Conditions\") - 7.1 by no later than the date of the issue of the Scheme circular, a statement is made by the majority of the directors of Mutual & Federal,entitled to vote and who are not conflicted,that, given the circumstances and market conditions prevailing at the date of the Offer - 7.1.1 they have considered the terms and conditions of the Offer and at the time of such statements they are, given the circumstances and market conditions at the time and the opinion by JP Morgan, satisfied with the terms and conditions of the Offer; 7.1.2 they intend to support the Offer and to facilitate the Scheme to the extend that a board of directors will normally be required for purposes of the implementation of a scheme;and 7.1.3 they intend to recommend that Scheme members vote in favour of the Scheme; 7.2 no dividend or similar payment other than the Normal Dividends will be declared between the date of the Offer and the Actual Payment Date; 7.3 the approval, in general meeting of Mutual & Federal shareholders, of the Trust Amendments and the Trust Amendments have been made and have become unconditional; and 7.4 the terms and conditions of the unexercised Mutual & Federal share options and unvested Mutual & Federal Restricted Share Plan (\"RSP\") share awards issued under the Staff Trusts are amended such that the vesting dates, exercise dates, delivery dates and/or restricted periods of these share options and RSP share awards are not affected by the Scheme and are not exercisable or deliverable, or cease to have restricted periods applying to them, on the operative date of the Scheme, but that their present vesting dates, exercise dates, delivery dates and/or restricted periods will continue to apply, as if the Scheme was not proposed or implemented.

OLD MUTUAL PLC - [15 October 2009]

PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE REMAINING MINORITY SHAREHOLDING IN MUTUAL & FEDERAL Old Mutual plc (\"Old Mutual\" or the \"Group\") is pleased to announce that it has notified the board of directors of Mutual & Federal Insurance Company Limited (\"Mutual & Federal\") of its firm intention to make an offer, in terms of the South African Securities Regulation Code on Takeovers and Mergers, to acquire all the ordinary shares in Mutual & Federal that it or its subsidiaries do not currently beneficially own (the \"Shares\"), to be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 311 of the South African Companies Act, 1973 (the \"Scheme\" or \"Offer\"). Old Mutual and its subsidiaries currently beneficially own approximately 73.5 per cent. of Mutual & Federal\'s issued ordinary share capital. Old Mutual has received irrevocable undertakings from shareholders of Mutual & Federal representing, in the aggregate, 22.5 per cent. of the shares to which the Offer relates, whereby they have undertaken to vote in favour of the Offer at the Scheme meeting to be held to approve the Scheme. Old Mutual is offering to acquire the Shares at a price of R21.25 per Share (the Offer Price), equivalent to a 21.2 per cent. premium to the 30 day volume- weighted average price (\"VWAP\") up to 13 October 2009 of R17.54 per Mutual & Federal share listed on the JSE Limited (\"JSE\"), for a total consideration of approximately R1,811 million or GBP155 million, (the \"Offer Consideration\"). Old Mutual intends to settle the Offer Consideration by way of an issue of new Old Mutual ordinary shares, with the number of shares being calculated based on the 30 day VWAP of Old Mutual\'s shares traded on the JSE up to the last practicable date prior to the posting of the Scheme circular to be issued by Mutual & Federal. Based on Old Mutual\'s 30 day VWAP up to 13 October 2009 of R11.87 per Old Mutual share, the indicative exchange ratio would be 1.79 Old Mutual shares per Mutual & Federal share. Settlement of the Offer Consideration is expected by the end of 2009. The Offer is part of Old Mutual\'s continuing focus on driving value creation and optimising internal efficiencies. The acquisition will unlock capital synergies and leverage additional capabilities across the Group\'s African operations. On completion, Old Mutual expects to hold 100% of Mutual & Federal in line with its strategic objective of simplifying the structure of the Group. Mutual & Federal is an authorised financial services provider which operates primarily in South Africa. Its principal market is the short-term insurance sector, which offers insurance-related services to brokers, agents and their clients. For the 12 month period ended 31 December 2008, Mutual & Federal generated gross premiums of R9.16 billion and a loss before tax of R55 million. As at 30 June 2009, Mutual & Federal\'s shareholder equity (net of minorities) was R3.20 billion or R11.44 per Mutual & Federal share. Commenting on the transaction, Julian Roberts, Group Chief Executive of Old Mutual, said: \"This is a major step towards driving value creation between our South African businesses which is one of our key strategic priorities. We have identified specific business development opportunities and our increased ownership will enhance our ability to improve Mutual & Federal\'s operational performance. It also removes any remaining uncertainty about the future of the business for staff and customers. \" A separate announcement regarding the Offer has been released today on the JSE by Mutual & Federal and can be found on Mutual & Federal\'s website at www.mf.co.za.

DEEP YELLOW LTD - [14 October 2009]

Appointment of Resource Estimation Consultants Deep Yellow LTD (DYL) has now appointed consultants to complete the JORC Code resource estimates for three of its Namibian and five of its Mount Isa projects. Timetables have not yet been assigned for the deliverables, but the market will be informed as the respective consultants provide estimates of timetables to fit with their workloads and as the data is supplied to them. In Namibia, MSA Consulting of South Africa (Website: www.msagroupservices.com), who have visited the Swakopmund operations, has been selected for the INCA uraniferous magnetite (INCA), Tubas Red Sand (TRS) and Aussinanis sheetwash projects. TRS is a new discovery and will be the first data package to be handed over and will be completed first. This project consists of secondary uranium mineralisation in the form of carnotite which occurs in (mostly) uncemented aeolian (windblown) sand. The sand occurs immediately south of the Tubas palaeochannel and although it has been intersected in a number of the reconnaissance palaeochannel holes over a distance of approximately 20 kilometre, it remains to be grid drilled. However, an area of approximately 1,500 by 1,000 metre surrounding the trial mining trench excavated during 2008 was drilled in detail and it is this data that will be processed by MSA. The discovery hole in this area returned 1,638 ppm U3O8 over 10 metre from surface. Some 4,300 samples were collected from the trench and chemically assayed. Metallurgical bulk samples were retained and preliminary tests on this material indicates excellent leachability of uranium in both acid and alkali mediums. The mineralised sand contains minor carbonate and is amenable to acid or alkali leach methods. It is anticipated that the resources within this initial grid area will be small but the main aim was to better understand the style and distribution of the mineralisation with a view to transporting it to a processing plant at INCA should that eventuate. The other option would be to transport the material to a third party processing plant in the area for toll treatment. The sand is not only free digging but will require minimal if any physical breaking before it can be leached as it breaks down when placed in liquid. INCA is a new discovery and will be the second data package to be handed over. The mineralisation is predominantly primary and associated with metasomatic alteration and is mostly in the form of uraninite with minor coffinite with or without magnetite. However, there are also secondary uranium minerals present and the geology and structure is extremely complicated hence the detail drilling pattern on 25 or 50 metre centres and the amount of diamond drilling being undertaken. RC drilling within the detail grid (a roughly 500 by 300 metre area) is due to be completed during October. Diamond drilling of the INCA Deeps area will continue and the data added to the initial package as and when available, but is not expected to cause any undue delays. The aim is for 7,000 to 9,000 tonne of contained U3O8 at a grade of at least 400 ppm U3O8 which will be augmented by feed from TRS to underpin the planned production profile of 1,000 to 1,500 tonne of U3O8 per year. Aussinanis is an Elf Aquitaine project from the 1970/1980s era and will be the last data package to be handed over. It consists of calcrete hosted mineralisation associated with a broad sheetwash sediment package and weathered bedrock, rather than a well developed palaeochannel system as at the Company\'s Tubas, Tumas and Oryx projects. The mineralisation occurs over a wide area measuring in excess of 30 by 10 kilometre but rarely thicker than 10 metre and is low grade (estimated at = 200 ppm U3O8). There are however discrete areas where higher grade mineralisation occurs. Although more than 4,500 RC holes were completed during 2008 already, offset inconsistencies with the downhole logging equipment identified internally by DYL personnel delayed conversion to equivalent uranium values from the raw counts per second as it has been necessary to reconvert all the raw files to meet our own internal verifications which have also been scrutinised by external consultants and signed off. Whilst it has taken a significant amount of time to authenticate the data it is anticipated that process will now be complete before year end. Between 12,000 and 15,000 metre of new data is generated by drilling every month and the technical services personnel have prioritised the ongoing work so as to allow a continuous flow of information and data to management to allow the continuous advances on the other Namibian projects. Significant progress has been made whilst maintaining the strict quality assurance standards. In Australia, Coffey Mining Pty Ltd (Website: www.coffey.com) has been retained to carry out JORC Code resource estimates for five prospects within the Mount Isa District. In all cases the uranium mineralisation is hosted by Proterozoic basement rocks of the Haslingden Group. The mineralisation is classed as metasomatic and is characterised by albitite and hematite alteration assemblages emplaced into structurally prepared sites. As previously announced, the 2009 RC and diamond drill programmes have primarily been focussed on proving to depth (~ 200 metre) shallow intersections of + 400 ppm U3O8 which DYL believe will sustain future open pit mining operations. The various prospects comprise: Isa West Project (earning 100% uranium rights from Xstrata) where the Thanksgiving and Bambino Prospects have been targeted. Diamond drilling has been completed and there remain four RC drill holes to be completed at the Bambino Prospect. Prospector EPM 15070 - At the Queens Gift Prospect there remain five RC holes to be completed in the planned programme. This will be followed by three diamond drill holes for 600 metre to supplement the 2008 core drilling programme. Ewen EPM 14916 - Slance NW and NE Prospects where the RC rig from the Queens Gift programme is scheduled to commence drilling a 30 hole - 3,700 metre drill programme over the two prospects in the next 6-7 days. Diamond drilling comprising three holes for 350 metre is also planned on the two prospects. The current schedule will see the Ewen drilling completed in mid-November. Coffey Mining have visited Mount Isa and carried out an audit of the drill rigs, the sampling procedures, the in-house QA/QC programme and DYL\'s contract laboratory. In addition, each prospect has been visited and available drill core inspected in order to characterise the geology, alteration and structural setting of the uranium mineralisation. Database interrogation has also commenced for the Bambino and Thanksgiving Prospects with preliminary mineralisation envelopes being generated.

By 20 October, Xstrata will have had four months to either announce a formal offer or withdraw and Anglo American believes it is in the interests of the Group and its shareholders that this period of uncertainty is brought to an end. Sir John Parker, Chairman of Anglo American said: \"Having reviewed with management and advisors the value creation potential at Anglo American relative to Xstrata\'s merger proposal and having met our shareholders in the UK, South Africa and USA, we have reaffirmed our conclusion that Xstrata\'s proposal is not in the interests of our shareholders.

Financial performance The Group\'s Operating Profit for the year ended 30 June 2009 showed a 41% increase over the previous period. The increase was driven by continued overall sales volume growth and pricing as well as a continued focus on operational efficiencies and cost control. Namibia The home market of the Group remains a significant contributor to total volumes and profits and our continued focus on this market is of paramount importance. Volumes achieved 10% growth, year on year. In the Namibian market, growth in the North of the country was particularly strong at 15%, with the rest of the country growing at 5%. Windhoek continues to be the lead brand in Namibia. Tafel, the number two beer brand in Namibia has seen strengthening brand equity resulting from refocusing the brand strategy with the new \'Guys will be Guys\' campaign, aligning the brand with its consumers. Overall domestic volumes grew by 10% year on year. South Africa Volumes of the NBL\'s brands grew 3% year on year in the South African market despite a significant downturn in the economy which adversely affected the beer market as a whole. The Windhoek trademark was particularly strengthened by the performance of Windhoek Draught and also benefited from the new campaign \'Keep it Real\', launched late in 2008. The other main beer brands in DHN\'s portfolio, Heineken and Amstel also enjoyed significant growth over the previous year, increasing overall market share in the RSA premium beer category. The South African Joint Venture was cemented in May 2008 as the JV moved from a cost to a profit sharing venture, with the partnership continuing to strengthen. Current year financials represent the first full year of DHN and the financial performance of the venture is in line with our start up forecasts. Exports (Excluding South Africa) NBL grew volumes in its remaining export markets, achieving double digit growth. The Windhoek trade mark continued to out-perform the market in Botswana, even with the introduction of a 30% duty tax on alcoholic beverages in November 2008. This in itself has had a negative impact on the overall Botswana beer market. Windhoek Lager growth has also remained firm in the remaining export markets particularly SADC countries, including Angola, another significant NBL market. Growth in export markets remains critical to NBL\'s strategy and the Group has entered a new and exciting phase with the global licensing of the Windhoek Lager trademark to Diageo. Except for a few African countries, this will allow Diageo to produce and distribute Windhoek worldwide for the next ten years. NBL will retain brand ownership and receive a royalty income stream on global sales. This licensing deal is progressing well. Profit Attributable to Shareholders Profit Attributable to Shareholders increased by 20% over the corresponding period, based on an effective tax rate of 30%. The effective tax rate has increased from prior year due to the impact of the shared losses from the South African joint venture. The group benefits from allowances on profits derived from exports. Significant Balance Sheet Changes Inventory levels and trade receivables increased over the prior year, driven by a combined increase in volumes and price. Cash was utilised in the current year, partially offsetting the increase in inventory and receivables. Interest- bearing loans and borrowings continue to decrease as the debt is repaid. The increase in non-current assets is the result of our continued investing in plant and equipment. The main contributors to the increase in current liabilities were accounts payable and fair value adjustments on derivative financial instruments. Prospects During the year the Group increased its growth in shareholders returns to 20% (2008: 17%). This was primarily driven by volume growth, early pricing in the home market, increased volumes sold to DHN and high focus on cost management and efficiency improvements. We expect volumes to grow in the next financial year, albeit at lower growth levels. Investment and innovation behind our brands will remain a high priority. We are excited with the recent successful launch of Windhoek Draught in a bottle (440ml). Challenges remain however, particularly with increasing competition in the home and export markets. We remain positive with regard to NBL\'s future and with our great brands and great people, we expect to continue to grow our position in the markets we operate in. That said, with increased focus on our competition at home and in the region, as well as continuously supporting the DHN joint venture in its early start-up years, the Group maintains a very cautious outlook with regards to profit growth in the 2010 financial year. The Board would like to thank all stakeholders for their continued support which has ensured that NBL can continue to grow. Dividend Declaration In addition to the interim dividend paid in May 2009, the Board of Directors have declared a final dividend of 22 cents per ordinary share, resulting in a total dividend of 44 cents per ordinary share for the year under review. Payment will be effected to the holders of ordinary shares in the shareholders\' register of the company registered at the close of business on 16 October 2009 and will be paid on 16 November 2009.

FIRSTRAND LIMITED - [23 September 2009]

PROPOSED RE-DESIGNATION OF THE B1 PREFERENCE SHARES AS B PREFERENCE SHARES 1. Introduction and rationale In 2004, FirstRand issued 30 000 000 (thirty million) variable rate non- cumulative non-redeemable B preference shares (\"B preference shares\"). In 2005, the Company issued a further 15 000 000 (fifteen million) variable rate non- cumulative non-redeemable B1 preference shares (\"B1 preference shares\"). Economically the B preference shares and B1 preference shares have the same rights and privileges. However, for reasons unknown to the Company, from time to time the B preference shares and B1 preference shares trade at different share prices on the JSE Limited (\"JSE\"). In order to remove any market perception that the B preference shares and B1 preference shares are economically different, the Company will propose that specific amendments be made to its Articles of Association thereby facilitating the re-designation of the B1 preference shares as B preference shares. After such re-designation, the Company will only have B preference shares in issue (\"the proposed re-designation\"). In order to give effect to the proposed re-designation, special resolutions (setting out the specific amendments to the rights and privileges attaching to the B preference shares which are contained in the Company\'s Articles of Association and re-designating the B1 preference shares as B preference shares) will need to be passed and registered. The proposed re-designation will remove any price disparity as well as any market perception that the B preference shares and B1 preference shares are economically different. In addition to the above, the proposed amendments to the Company\'s Articles of Association will enable the Company, to the extent required, to issue further B preference shares without designating such preference shares as a separate class with multiple share codes on the JSE. 2. Conditions precedent The proposed re-designation is subject to: approval by ordinary shareholders in annual general meeting and by B preference shareholders and B1 preference shareholders in separate general meetings (\"general meetings\") of the special resolutions authorising: the specific amendments to the rights and privileges attaching to the B preference shares which are contained in the Company\'s Articles of Association; and the re-designation of the B1 preference shares as B preference shares; and registration of the special resolutions by the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office. 3. Salient dates The salient dates for the proposed re-designation are as follows: 2009/2010 Forms of proxy to be received by the Monday, 23 November transfer secretaries by no later than 09:00 on Annual general meeting to be held at 09:00 Wednesday, 25 November on General meeting of B preference Wednesday, 25 November shareholders to be held at 09:30 on General meeting of B1 preference Wednesday, 25 November shareholders to be held at 09:45 on Results of annual general meeting and Wednesday, 25 November general meetings released on SENS on Finalisation announcement released on SENS Friday, 18 December on Last date to trade in B1 preference shares Thursday, 31 December to be eligible for the proposed re-designation on B1 preference shares suspended on the JSE Monday, 4 January from commencement of trading on Commencement of trading of the re- Monday, 4 January designated B preference shares under ISIN ZAE000060141 (Share code: FSRP) on Form of surrender to be submitted by no Friday, 8 January later than 12:00 on Record date for the proposed re- Friday, 8 January designation on B preference share certificates posted to Monday, 11 January B1 preference shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form (provided that old share certificate/s have been surrendered to the transfer secretaries by 12:00 on record date) on B preference shares credited to Monday, 11 January dematerialised B1 preference shareholders accounts held at their CSDP or broker and share balances updated on Listing of B1 preference shares on the JSE Monday, 11 January terminated at commencement of trading on B1 preference share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised after Thursday, 31 December 2009 These dates are subject to amendments.

VUKILE PROPERTY FUND LIMITED - [23 September 2009]

VUKILE RAISES R250 MILLION THROUGH SECURITISATION PROGRAMME Johannesburg, 22 September 2009 - Listed property loan stock company Vukile has raised R250 million through Vukile Investment Property Securitisation (VIPS), the commercial mortgage backed securitisation programme established by the company in October 2005 to reduce the cost of funding its commercial property investment. The funds were raised through the placement of two tranches of notes in the South African debt capital markets to four investors in July and September this year. The notes were rated Aa2/AAA.za by Moody\'s and were placed at a spread of Jibar (Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate) plus 200 bps for an all-in cost of funding, including the note margin, of 10.42%. The interest rate on this new debt has been fixed by way of an interest rate swap. The notes have a tenor of 2.7 years and mature on 7 May 2012. This capital-raising represents the first \"tap\" by VIPS since its establishment in October 2005 and increases the total outstanding amount under the programme to R1.02 billion. Chief executive Gerhard van Zyl said that, due to the appreciation of property values within the company\'s portfolio and the escalation in rental income, no additional properties needed to be added to the portfolio to effect the transaction. \"We are particularly pleased with this result, which has allowed us to use VIPS and our existing property portfolio more effectively,\" he said. Following the transaction, the company\'s loan to value and interest cover ratio remained well within the covenant levels of 65% and 1.55x respectively. VIPS was the second commercial mortgage backed securitisation programme to be implemented in South Africa and was realised with the assistance of ABSA. These programmes have been used worldwide since the late Nineties as an alternative to conventional bank loans and are a favoured instrument for reducing the cost of funding commercial property portfolios. Mortgage backed securitisation programmes currently constitute some 15% of European securitisation issuance and has been used to fund major projects such as London\'s Canary Wharf. Vukile has a portfolio of 74 properties with a gross lettable area of 920 232mSquared. The portfolio has a gross asset value in excess of R4.53 billion.

XEMPLAR ENERGY CORPORATION - [22 September 2009]

Xemplar Reports Drill Assays from the Cape Cross Uranium Project The Board of Directors of Xemplar Energy Corp. (TSX-Venture: XE, Frankfurt: E7R, Namibia: XEM) (\"Xemplar\" or the \"Company\") are pleased to report preliminary chemical assay results from reverse circulation drilling carried out on its 100% Cape Cross Uranium project in Namibia. Simon Tam, Chief Executive Officer, comments \"Historical data has shown that uranium occurs at many localities through-out the license area, with only a few of these have been in any detail. Xemplar\'s strategy is to aggressively explore the area with a view for developing uranium deposits. The following drill results confirm intercepts on U3O8 mineralization and validate our vigorous tactic on the project. Together with the Warmbad project, we believe Xemplar is now holding two projects that have the potential to host world class uranium.\" The following table shows highlights of the initial chemical assay results received to date, from the Company\'s 2008 and 2009 drill program at Cape Cross: Drill Hole From To Width U3O8 U3O8 Hole Incli- (meters) (meters) (meters) Grade Grade nation (parts (per- per centage)* million) RCOR18 90 0 5 5 85.6 0.00856% RCOR19 90 2 6 4 160.7 0.01607% RCOR20 90 0 13 13 199.6 0.01996% RCOR21 90 2 11 9 264.0 0.02640% RCOR22 90 1 12 11 157.45 0.01575% * Rounded to the nearest 1/1000th of percentile. These five drill holes were drilled in the Oraweb paleochannel in a fence at a right angle to the channel. The holes were spaced 100 metres apart. Drill holes to the west of drill RCOR18 did not carry any significant values while the area to the east of drill hole RCOR22 has not been tested. These results show a minimum width of 500 metres for the paleochannel at this point. Geophysical surveys and geological mapping has outlined 3 prospective paleochannels, totaling 100 kilometres in length on the Cape Cross property. The northernmost paleochannel is the Oraweb. Through its wholly owned Namibian subsidiary, Namura Mineral Resources (Pty.) Ltd., the company holds three exclusive prospecting licences (EPL) at Cape Cross covering an area of 2,773 square kilometres. Cape Cross is located in northwest Namibia near the Atlantic coast, about 20 kilometres inland from Henties Bay and within the country\'s Uranium Corridor, where large uranium mines (Rossing, Langer Heinrich) and deposits (Trekkopje, Valencia, Rossing South, Idadome, Marenica, Tubas, Etango) are found. The exploration targets at Cape Cross are mineralized palaeochannels containing uranium in the form of carnotite (that is, secondary uranium mineralization associated with calcrete palaeochannels). The mineralization model would best be described as Langer Heinrich-type deposit. Langer Heinrich is a sedimentary uranium deposit located within the Namib-Naukluft Park and where Paladin Resources of Australia commenced production in March, 2007. The mineralization model at Cape Cross is also similar to that of Areva\'s (Uramin Inc.) Trekkopje deposit which is currently being developed into a mine. The exploration program at Cape Cross is running in conjunction with the Company\'s extensive drill program at its Warmbad project.

Executive review The Sanlam Group has shown pleasing resilience in challenging markets to record a solid operational performance for the six months ended 30 June 2009. The strategic diversification into different market segments and solution offerings, as well as the effect of prudent practices and assumptions followed in the past, shielded the Group from the most severe impact of the economic downturn. Business environment The depressing financial and economic impact of the global financial market crisis continued unabated during the first half of 2009, although there were signs of some recovery in global equity markets towards the end of the reporting period. A lower demand for resources following the slowdown in the world\'s largest economies had a negative impact on the wealth creation and growth achieved in the African commodity based economies in which the Group operates. The Group\'s key exposure remains to the performance of the South African economy, which, as no exception, followed the developed world into a recession. This is reflected in major pressure on consumers\' disposable income, in addition to the effects of the high interest rate and inflation conditions of the past two years. The result has been contracting consumer spending, in particular in the middle-income market. The interest rate cuts announced by the South African Reserve Bank over the past few months should provide some relief to consumers, but it is likely to take some time before this will be evident in increased consumer demand. The South African equity market recorded marginally positive returns for the six months ended 30 June 2009 on the back of stronger international markets and expectations that the worst of the financial market crisis may be over. Overall market levels, however, remain significantly lower than the comparative period in 2008 and continue to display high levels of volatility. Performance review In the context of the challenging environment, the Group achieved a pleasing operational performance for the first six months of the 2009 financial year. This has been aided by the diversified nature of the Group\'s operations, in respect of market segmentation, solutions offering and geographical presence, which provided a platform for ongoing growth in new business volumes and a sound level of profitability. The pressure on the middle-income retail market in South Africa is however evident in declining new business volumes at Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Private Investments, but this was offset by strong performances in the institutional and entry-level markets. Operating profit also reflects a varied performance, with a solid contribution from the retail life insurance and capital markets businesses, almost offsetting the negative impact of the prevailing market conditions on the reported earnings of the short-term insurance and investment management operations. Notwithstanding the pressure on earnings, the core operations of all the major Group businesses remain sound. The primary performance target of the Group is to optimise shareholder value through maximising the return on Group Equity Value (GEV). A target has been set for the growth in GEV to exceed the Group\'s cost of capital on a sustainable basis. Cost of capital is set at the government long bond yield plus 3%. The target is to exceed this return by at least 1%. The annualised return on GEV per share of 5% for the six months ended 30 June 2009 fell short of this target, but still represents a strong performance given the relatively weak investment markets and an increase of some 2% in long-term interest rates (and commensurately risk discount rates applied) during the period. The increase in risk discount rates in particular reduced the valuation and GEV earnings of the life insurance and wealth management operations. On a normalised basis, i.e. assuming a normalised investment market performance and excluding any once-off items, the annualised return of 12,2% for the six months exceeded the target of 11,3%. Total new business volumes, excluding the volatile and low margin white label business, grew by 3%, a particularly pleasing result in the current environment. Retail business sales declined by 8%, with Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Private Investments reporting declines of 7% and 22% respectively. This was to an extent offset by strong growth of 8% achieved by Sanlam Developing Markets. Institutional business sales recorded a sterling performance, increasing by 27% on 2008. Most of the institutional business units contributed to this growth. The value of new covered business (after minorities) decreased by 3% from R250 million in the first half of 2008 to R243 million in 2009, reflecting the impact of lower new life business volumes in the middle-income market. The profitability of new covered business has been maintained through continued focus on cost management and the quality of new business written, with overall margins increasing from 2,17% in 2008 to 2,23% in 2009. Core earnings of R1 789 million are 6% lower than in 2008, the combined effect of a 7% decrease in the net result from financial services and a 4% decline in net investment income earned on the capital portfolio. The relatively lower base of assets under management impacted on the growth in fee income and the profitability of especially the investment management businesses. This was further aggravated by a number of large commercial property claims at Santam Limited (Santam). Core earnings per share decreased by only 2%, supported by the effect of the share buy-back programme during 2008, which resulted in a 4% reduction in the weighted average number of shares in issue compared to the first half of 2008. The investment return earned on the Group\'s capital portfolio was marginally positive during the first six months of 2009, with positive local equity market return somewhat offset by a reduction in the valuation of interest- bearing instruments and offshore investments. The investment return, however, improved significantly compared to the negative performance in the first half of 2008. Normalised headline earnings per share benefited from the turnaround in investment return and increased by 34% on 2008. Diluted headline earnings per share, which include the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) impact of Sanlam and Santam shares held by the policyholders\' fund, are 13% down on 2008. Delivering on strategy The Group\'s focused strategy continued to serve it well during the first six months of 2009, which was characterised by the prolonged impact of the most challenging environment faced by the Group in many years. The board of directors of Sanlam (the Board) and management remain committed to the Group\'s key objective of maximising shareholder value. This is underpinned by the five pillars of optimal capital utilisation, earnings growth, cost control and efficiencies, diversification and transformation. As indicated in the Group\'s 2008 annual report, a more prudent approach is required in the application of discretionary capital in the current financial and economic environment. The focus has accordingly been on further optimising the capital base of the Group, while only a few selected investments have been made in existing operations and future growth markets. No share buy-backs occurred during the first six months of 2009. A major portion of the Group\'s capital is utilised by the covered business operations. Capital management and modelling within these operations receive continuous attention to achieve an optimal capital level, taking cognisance of the impact of changes in the capital management structure on expected return on GEV. This process indicated that shareholder value can be further enhanced by implementing a more conservative asset mix for the capital backing the covered business operations, thereby reducing the level of required capital. The Board approved as a target a 10% reduction in the capital portfolio\'s exposure to both equities and fixed-interest instruments and a consequential 20% increase in the cash exposure. This will result in less volatility in the capital base and released some R900 million of capital to the Group\'s discretionary capital portfolio. The change in asset mix caused an increase in the cost of capital and consequently a once-off R313 million reduction in the value of in-force covered business (refer results commentary below). This negative impact will be more than offset through a value enhancing application of the additional discretionary capital. A total of R375 million was utilised for corporate activity during the period. The largest transactions concluded are as follows: - Some R200 million was utilised to acquire minority shareholders\' interest in Channel Life, increasing the Group\'s interest to just under 100%. This acquisition will enable the Group to further enhance synergies between the life businesses operating in the entry-level market segment in South Africa and to more effectively manage the capital requirements of the growth achieved in this market. MiWay required additional financing of R31 million to fund the start-up losses of this business. A further R17 million has been utilised since the end of June 2009 to acquire a proportionate share of the PSG Group\'s interest in MiWay. The remainder of PSG\'s interest was acquired by existing shareholders. Sanlam UK has been further capitalised by R31 million, which includes an increase in the Group\'s interest in Principal from 86% to 89%. the Shriram Life Insurance acquisition agreement allowed for three performance payments based on the achievement of new business growth and expense targets. The third payment of R39 million became due during the six months. The release of R900 million of capital from covered business, investment return and the application of capital for corporate activity contributed to a net increase in the level of discretionary capital in the Group to R2,8 billion at the end of June 2009. The Board remains committed to the utilisation of the discretionary capital in the most efficient manner, with a preference for new value-enhancing initiatives. The buy-back of Sanlam shares is not a priority but will be considered in periods of share price weakness. Despite pressure from the economic downturn, the Group continues with initiatives to enhance its growth platform. To this end, Sanlam Developing Markets is expanding its distribution reach across all territories, with the following important milestones reached during the six months: - Advisor numbers in South Africa increased by 29% to 1 786, unprofitable business has been discontinued and the integration of the back office and administration functions of the South African businesses has been initiated; A New distribution channel has been launched by Shriram Life Insurance to cover the northern Indian territories, augmenting the focus to date on the south of India; and Bancassurance joint venture arrangements have been strengthened in Africa. Sanlam Investments\' international expansion is also progressing according to plan. The establishment of the SMC wealth and investment management joint ventures will provide Sanlam Investments with a strong entry point into the fast growing Indian market. Sanlam International Investment Partners\' operational structure has been embedded and a number of international niche acquisition opportunities are being evaluated. Cost efficiency has been a strategic focus for the past five years, but received even more intensified focus in light of the financial market crisis and subsequent recessionary environment. The investment management operations and Sanlam Personal Finance, which have been impacted most by lower assets under management and new business volumes respectively, made a concerted effort to reduce costs even further. Sanlam Investments reported a 9% reduction in expenditure, excluding the impact of a release of excess provisions. Sanlam Personal Finance initiated plans to reduce its cost base by some R100 million. Containment of cost in all other business units is also receiving appropriate attention, although not to the detriment of future growth opportunities. Efforts to increase the representation of previously disadvantaged individuals at middle and senior management level is a priority for the Group\'s transformation. It remains a challenge given Sanlam\'s traditional low staff turnover, the freezing of vacancies in the current environment and a shortage of individuals with the required specialised financial services expertise. We will, however, continue to use all available opportunities to meet our targets in the years to come. Looking ahead International sentiment has improved over the last few months, with many analysts of the opinion that the world economy is at or past its lowest point of the current recession. Risk aversion has also started to subside with a renewed interest from international investors in developing markets. This bodes well for the South African equity market, which has seen a major improvement in performance since the end of June 2009. A continuation of positive equity market returns will support improved profitability in the Group\'s investment management operations in particular and should be positive for fund flows into equity-based solutions. Investment market volatility has, however, not fully subsided and downside risk remains high. The improved sentiment has also provided some support for commodity prices, which should underpin an improvement in the real economy of many of the African countries in which the Group operates. The negative trend in the South African economy is expected to stabilise and show gradual recovery on the back of higher commodity prices and improving consumer confidence and spending power as the benefits of the recent interest rate cuts start to emerge over the next few months. Any material impact of the improvement in economic conditions is however only expected to reflect in the Group\'s operating results from 2010 onwards. Challenging trading conditions are therefore expected to persist for the remainder of the 2009 financial year, but we remain confident that our businesses are well set to continue weathering the challenges. Relative market movements during the second half of the year will impact on the level of earnings growth to be reported for the full 2009 financial year.

Comments on the results Introduction The Sanlam Group results for the six months ended 30 June 2009 are presented based on and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable. Group Equity Value (GEV) GEV is the aggregate of the following components: the embedded value of covered business, being the Life Insurance businesses of the Group, which comprises the required capital supporting these operations and the net present value of their in-force books of business (VIF); - The fair value of other Group operations based on longer term assumptions, which includes the investment management, capital markets, credit, short-term insurance and the non-covered wealth management operations of the Group; and the fair value of Discretionary and other capital. GEV provides an indication of the value of the Group\'s operations, but without placing any value on future new covered business to be written by the Group\'s life insurance businesses. Sustainable return on GEV is the primary performance benchmark used by the Group in evaluating the success of its strategy to maximise shareholder value.

On a per share basis GEV decreased by 2% from 2 213 cents to 2 172 cents at 30 June 2009, including the effect of the 98 cents per share dividend paid during 2009. The Sanlam share price traded at a 20% discount to GEV by close of trading on 30 June 2009. As a financial services organisation, the Group has a major exposure to financial markets in that the shareholder capital portfolio is invested in financial instruments, a portion of the fee income base is linked to the level of assets under management, while the valuation of the in force book of covered business is impacted by changes in long-term interest rates and investment return assumptions. In addition to the subdued investment market performance in the first half of 2009, an increase of some 2% in long-term interest rates required a commensurate increase in the risk-adjusted discount rate used for the valuation of the Group\'s covered and wealth management businesses. Given these conditions, the annualised return on GEV (ROGEV) per share of 5% for the first six months of 2009 is an overall satisfactory performance. This is testimony to the defensive qualities of the Group\'s diversified portfolio of businesses. The return on the Group\'s international operations was negatively impacted by a stronger rand and the impact on the Sanlam UK operations of the recession in the United Kingdom. This was, however, compensated for by a satisfactory return achieved on the other Group operations. Return on Group Equity Value for the six months ended 30 June 2009 June 2009 June 2008 Earnings Return* Earnings Return* R million % R million % Covered business 770 5,5 998 7,1 Sanlam Personal Finance 446 4,6 490 4,9 Sanlam Developing Markets 86 6,2 180 17,4 Sanlam UK 4 1,2 139 32,5 Sanlam Employee Benefits 234 8,6 189 7,3 Other operations 790 12,0 (1 692) -20,7 Sanlam Personal Finance 133 19,6 13 2,2 Sanlam Developing Markets 2 24,9 (7) -43,8 Sanlam UK (117) -25,7 25 8,5 Institutional cluster 241 8,1 (301) -8,1 Short-term insurance 531 21,2 (1 422) -39,6 Discretionary and other (475) 119 capital Balance of portfolio (180) 240 Shares delivered to Sanlam - (26) Demutualisation Trust Shriram goodwill less (39) (43) value of in-force acquired Treasury shares and other (128) (130) Change in net worth (128) 78 adjustments Return on Group Equity 1 085 4,9 (575) -2,2 Value Return on Group Equity 5,2 0,0 Value per share * Annualised Covered business achieved a return of 6% compared to 7% in the first half of 2008. This lower level of return is mainly attributable to an increase in the cost associated with the capital required to back these operations. As indicated above, the Board approved a more conservative asset mix for the required capital, which reduced the overall capital to be held in respect of covered business by R900 million. A consequence of the more conservative asset mix is a reduction in the expected investment return to be earned on the required capital in future. This increased the opportunity cost of holding the capital, referred to as the cost of capital, by R313 million. Excluding this once-off net increase in the cost of capital, the annualised return on covered business amounted to 8%. The return on covered business includes positive operating experience variances of R289 million, of which the majority relates to underwriting experience that was better than the assumptions used in the actuarial basis. The focus on quality of business written also contributed to positive persistency experience, a particularly satisfactory result given the overall negative market experience. This was offset by negative economic assumption changes following the increase in risk discount rates. The other Group operations yielded an overall annualised return of 12%, compared to a negative return of 21% for the comparable period in 2008. Sanlam Personal Finance and Santam delivered a marked improvement on their 2008 performances. This was however offset by negative earnings of R117 million recorded by Sanlam UK. Most of Sanlam Personal Finance\'s other operations had a strong first six months of 2009, with future earnings prospects remaining positive. This supported the valuations, despite the 2% increase in the risk discount rate during the period. The return was also positively impacted by the release of some R40 million of capital from Glacier. The investment in Santam also performed well, with the Santam share price increasing by 7% after allowing for the payment of its final dividend. The Sanlam UK businesses are experiencing the aftermath of the financial market crisis more severely than the South African based operations. The level of assets under management and profitability of Principal and Buckles were in particular negatively impacted by the United Kingdom (UK) economic and financial market conditions. Under these conditions, a prudent approach was followed in valuing these businesses, which required a further write-down of R77 million in their carrying values. The stronger rand against the pound also aggravated the negative earnings. The valuation of the businesses in the Institutional cluster remained on an overall basis broadly in line with the end of 2008, with the GEV earnings for the first six months to 30 June 2009 comprising mostly of the net operating profit earned during the period. The return on discretionary and other capital was impacted by the following: Negative investment return of R181 million on the balance of the capital portfolio. This can mostly be ascribed to negative return on the offshore exposure in the portfolio due to the strengthening of the rand exchange rate, marked-to-market losses on the interest-bearing instruments held, in line with the All Bond return, as well as negative investment return on the discretionary capital invested in the Botswana equity markets; the write-off for GEV purposes of the R40 million goodwill recognised in respect of the last remaining performance payment to Shriram in terms of the acquisition agreement of Shriram Life Insurance in India; A Negative \' change \' of R129 million in the Net worth adjustments. This is largely due to an increase in the allowance for corporate costs in line with the expected inflationary increase in the annual corporate expenses; and A loss of R129 million recognised in respect of treasury shares. This loss is substantially attributable to losses recognised on the delivery of share incentive scheme shares to participants at the applicable strike prices. Earnings Summarised shareholders\' fund income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2009 R million 2009 2008 % change Net result from financial services 1 234 1 334 -7% Net investment income 555 579 -4% Core Earnings 1 789 1 913 -6% Project expenses (15) (40) 63% Net equity-accounted headline earnings 10 (4) >100% BEE transaction costs (3) (3) - Net investment surpluses 23 (447) >100% Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) (162) (99) -64% Discontinued operations - (35) - Amortisation of value of business acquired (37) (31) -19% Normalised Headline Earnings 1 605 1 254 28% Other non-headline earnings and impairments (58) (103) 44% Normalised attributable earnings 1 547 1 151 34% Core earnings Core earnings comprise the net result from financial services (operating profit) and net investment income earned on the shareholders\' fund, but exclude abnormal and non-recurring items as well as investment surpluses. Net investment income includes dividends received from non-operating associated companies and joint ventures, but excludes the equity-accounted retained earnings. Core earnings for the six months of R1 789 million are 6% down on 2008, the combined effect of a 7% reduction in the net result from financial services for the period and a 4% decline in net investment income. On a per share basis, core earnings decreased by 2%, reflecting the impact of the 4% reduction in the weighted average number of shares in issue due to the share buy-backs during 2008. The net result from financial services of R1 234 million for the first six months of 2009 is 7% lower than in 2008. As indicated before, the following items have an impact on this result: in terms of IFRS only variable costs incurred in writing New investment management policy contracts can be capitalised and expensed over the lifetime of the contract in line with fees earned. All fixed acquisition costs must be expensed at inception of investment management policies. Similarly, the Group\'s actuarial valuation basis for most insurance contracts does not allow for the capitalisation of certain upfront acquisition costs, which commensurately results in accounting losses at inception of these contracts. These losses, referred to as new business strain, have a particularly pronounced impact on earnings in strong new business growth scenarios (as reported by Sanlam Developing Markets), as well as in instances of a change in business mix (as experienced by Sanlam Personal Finance) in the first half of 2009 - The impact of MiWay only becoming operational during February 2008. On a comparable basis the net result from financial services increased by 1% on 2008, a very pleasing result in the current environment.

Before tax and minority interests, the gross result from financial services is marginally down on 2008. Risk underwriting profit increased by 28% to R248 million, underpinned by an improved underwriting experience. The relatively lower level of assets under management during the first half of 2009 reduced fund-based fee income, with a commensurate negative impact on administration fee income. Containment of costs, however, assisted in limiting the decline in overall administration profit to 11%. Market related profit of R514 million is also 7% lower than 2008, largely attributable to lower interest earned on working capital and a lower release of profit from the asset mismatch provision. The balance of the asset mismatch provision was some R500 million lower at the end of 2008 compared to 2007, resulting in a relatively lower base from which profit is released. the Sanlam Developing Markets Net result from financial services of R86 million is 9% up on 2008 (up 13% before tax and minority shareholders\' interest). - The South African operations more than doubled their contribution to the gross result from financial services. Sanlam Sky Solutions reported an increase in earnings, but the main contributor to the growth was Channel Life, whose 2008 earnings were impacted by expenses relating to the closure of its call centre. - Botswana Life managed to increase its gross result from financial services by 8%, with positive mortality experience on the annuity book and a reduction in the credit default provision being partially offset by the negative impacts of the weak equity markets and some mismatch losses in the annuity portfolio. - The rest of Africa operations reported lower earnings on an overall basis. Most territories experienced lower new business volumes in the current economic environment, which resulted in an under recovery of fixed costs. Also contributing to the lower earnings are additional bad debt provisions, a strengthening of persistency bases, as well as lower credit life business following a general reduction in lending activities of banks in the current environment. As indicated before, the retail market in the UK has been more severely impacted by the financial crisis than South Africa. Despite some recent improvement in sentiment and economic statistics, the first six months of 2009 has been characterised by continued economic uncertainty, rising unemployment, poor consumer confidence and depressed financial and housing markets. This had a particularly negative impact on the Punter Southall Group, Principal and Buckles, whose results are directly affected by investment market performance and business volumes. Both these indicators underperformed in the first half of the 2009 financial year, impacting negatively on the earnings reported by these operations. Merchant Investors provided some resilience and reported an improved performance. The growth in rand-based earnings was further negatively impacted by an average 9% strengthening of the rand against the British pound, which contributed to an overall 65% decline in Sanlam UK\'s net result from financial services. the Institutional cluster operations were in particular affected by A lower average level of assets under management, following the underperformance in investment markets since June 2008. - Sanlam Investments\' net result from financial services of R264 million is down 8% on the comparable period in 2008 (down 12% to R370 million before tax and minorities). Excluding the impact of a release of over provisions of some R40 million (after tax), the net result from financial services decreased by 22%, which is mainly attributable to a decline in the average level of assets under management in 2009 compared to the same period in 2008, as well as a R14 million decrease in performance fees earned. A positive development has been that both SIM Global and Octane have reached the high water mark for a number of their portfolios and have started earning performance fees again. Costs were also well managed and are 9% lower than 2008, excluding the positive impact of the release of provisions. - Sanlam Employee Benefits\' net result from financial services decreased by 22% from R83 million in 2008 to R65 million for the first half of 2009. Good growth in risk underwriting profit was more than offset by an under recovery of fixed cost at Sanlam Structured Solutions, following low new business volumes and a reduction in interest earned on working capital. - Sanlam Capital Markets made a welcome return to profitability and recorded a gross result from financial services of R61 million compared to a breakeven position in the first half of 2008. After taxation, the net result from financial services increased by 74% from R34 million in 2008 to R59 million. The equities division had a very strong six months, driven by equity-backed finance transactions. The debt division also recorded satisfactory results, despite continued pressure from credit valuations. Deal flow at the market activity division, however, remained subdued, which contributed to an underperformance by this division. Capital allocated to Sanlam Capital Markets was increased by R50 million during the period, translating into a return of 26% on the R450 million capital base, a very satisfactory result in the prevailing conditions. the underwriting results of the short-term insurance cluster were hard hit by a number of large fire-related corporate claims, in line with a general increase in these claims across the industry. This contributed to a 50% decline in the cluster\'s net result from financial services. Santam still managed to achieve an underwriting margin of 1,5%, a satisfactory result compared to the industry average. Income earned on Santam\'s float was significantly higher as a result of a higher level of float. - Corporate administration expenses are 11% lower than 2008, the combined effect of timing differences in the recognition of expenses and focussed cost management. Net investment income declined by 4%. This is mainly attributable to a lower absolute level of capital following the utilisation of discretionary capital for share buy-backs and corporate activity during 2008 and 2009. Normalised headline earnings Normalised headline earnings of R1 605 million are 28% higher than the comparable period in 2008. The increase in normalised headline earnings is in the main attributable to the following: - A reduction of 6% in core earnings as discussed above. investment Markets performed relatively better in the first six months of 2009 than the comparable period in 2008 (refer discussion of business environment above). The performance of the capital portfolio compared to mandate also improved. This resulted in a turnaround of the negative investment surpluses of R447 million recorded in 2008 to a net positive return of R23 million in 2009. - The 64% increase in the secondary tax on companies (STC) charge is mainly attributable to the utilisation of available STC credits for the dividend paid in May 2009. STC credits generated in the first half of 2009 are lower than in 2008 due to the utilisation of discretionary capital during 2008 and 2009 for share buy-backs and other corporate activity (thereby reducing the absolute level of capital on which investment income is earned), as well as a decrease in the capital portfolio\'s exposure to equities. Business volumes New business flows New business volumes, excluding white label, increased by 3% on the first six months of 2008.

The Topaz market is more sensitive to the current economic environment and investment market volatility. The combined life and non-life sales are 7% lower than the comparable period in 2008. - Total South African new business volumes decreased by 12% compared to 2008. - Recurring premium life sales are 10% lower than the same period in 2008. The high interest rate and inflation environment of 2007 and 2008 continues to negatively impact disposable income, with a commensurate negative impact on recurring premium savings and retirement solutions. Recurring risk business is less sensitive to these conditions and are 7% higher than 2008. - Single premium life sales are down 13% on 2008. The market conditions are now also impacting on Glacier\'s volumes, which are 8% lower than the comparable period in 2008. Part of the lower demand can be attributed to clients\' preference to reduce their personal debt, but alternative investment classes, for example property, has also become more attractive as an investment choice after decreasing valuations over the past two years. Single premium sales of Topaz life solutions decreased by 17% on 2008. Guaranteed plans performed strongly in 2008, but demand slowed down in the first six months of 2009 as the recent interest rate cuts reduced the attractiveness of guaranteed rates. - Investment business is also struggling with lower demand for Glacier investment solutions. The same drivers affecting Glacier life sales are also impacting on the investment solution sales. This contributed to a 10% reduction in new investment business volumes. - The Namibian operations recorded a 5% increase in volumes, which is attributable to demand for both life insurance solutions and unit trusts. The same factors impacting on the South African operations are also affecting Namibia. Sanlam Developing Markets inflows are 8% higher than 2008. Excluding the discontinued South African single premium business, new business volumes grew by 17% - a commendable result. - South African inflows are 5% lower than the comparable period in 2008, but this includes the impact of discontinued single premium business. Single premiums recorded comprise of continuations of existing business reaching maturity date and are expected to decline over time as the in-force book winds down. The core recurring premiums business is up 5% on 2008. Sanlam Sky Solutions increased its new recurring premium sales by 8%, with a strong underlying performance masked by an intentional decision to scale back on low margin broker direct business. This decision has resulted in a marked improvement in the quality and profitability (as measured by the value of new business margin) of business written. Channel Life individual life sales underperformed during the first six months of 2009, offsetting an otherwise healthy growth contribution from Safrican and group benefits business. - African inflows are 35% up on 2008, supported by a sterling performance from Botswana, the largest African operation. Recurring premiums increased by 30%, with single premiums exceeding 2008 by 37%.
