FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

29 May 2020

                                                 Quilter plc

                       Results of Odd-lot Offer and transaction in own shares

Quilter plc (“Quilter” or the “Company”) announces that following the closure of the Odd-lot Offer on
Friday 15 May 2020, the Company has today purchased a total of 16,263,364 of its own ordinary shares of
7 pence each as follows:

    i)  169,264 ordinary shares held on the UK share register were purchased at a price of 120.24 pence
        (GBP) per share; and
    ii) 16,094,100 ordinary shares held on the South African share register were purchased at a price of
        2,812.63 cents (ZAR) per share.

The Odd-lot Offer was implemented on Wednesday 11 March 2020 in order to reduce the Company’s
shareholder base, which was unusually large for a company of its size. Following the implementation of the
Odd-lot Offer, the Company's shareholder base has been reduced by circa 45% (209,282 shareholders).
This reduction will reduce administrative costs, including, for example, the costs of printing and distributing
financial statements, circulars and notices.

As set out in the announcement made on Friday 24 April 2020, the above prices were calculated as follows:

    i)   in the case of ordinary shares held on the UK Register, a 5% premium to the volume weighted
         average price of ordinary shares traded on the London Stock Exchange over the five trading days
         prior to Friday 24 April 2020; and

    ii) in the case of ordinary shares held on the SA Register, a 5% premium to the volume weighted
        average price of ordinary shares traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange over the five trading
        days prior to Friday 24 April 2020.

Odd-lot Holders recorded on the UK Register will be paid in pounds sterling.
Odd-lot Holders on the SA Register will be paid in rand by direct credit. No cheques will be issued.
Shareholders who participate in an Odd-lot Offer and who hold their ordinary shares in Strate through a
CSDP or broker will receive payment in accordance with the mandate signed between the CSDP or broker.

It is expected that payment will be made on or around Friday 29 May 2020, at the risk of the relevant Odd-
lot Holder.

The shares purchased by the Company represent approximately 0.87% of the existing issued share capital
of the Company and will all be held as treasury shares. Following the above purchase, the Company holds
16,263,364 ordinary shares as treasury shares. The total number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding
shares held as treasury shares) is 1,848,115,891.
