FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                                             Quilter plc

                                Share buyback programme update

In connection with the capital return of up to £375 million announced on 2 January 2020, Quilter plc
(the Company) initiated a share buyback programme (the Programme) on 11 March 2020 to purchase
shares with a value of up to £375 million in order to reduce the share capital of the Company, subject
to remaining within certain pre-set parameters. As previously indicated, the Programme is subject to
staged regulatory approval and the Board will continue to keep the Programme under review to make
sure it remains the most efficient and effective means of returning capital to shareholders.

Repurchases to date total £275 million of which £152 million were conducted on the London Stock
Exchange and £123 million were conducted on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. To date, 196.1
million Quilter shares have been acquired, and cancelled, at an average price of 140.2 pence.

Following Prudential Regulation Authority approval for a fourth tranche of repurchases of up to £100
million, the Company has entered into various agreements with J.P. Morgan Securities plc and J.P.
Morgan Equities South Africa Propriety Limited (collectively "JPM") under which it has issued an
irrevocable instruction for JPM to manage the next tranche of the programme of up to £50 million
(“Tranche 4a”).

Company shares will be purchased on European trading venues including the London Stock Exchange
and on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The minimum purchase on each exchange will be £10
million. JPM will carry out the instruction during the period starting on 13 September 2021 and ending
no later than 30 November 2021 (the Purchase Period) for the acquisition of ordinary shares in the
Company for subsequent repurchase by the Company. The maximum consideration payable by the
Company under Tranche 4a of the Programme is up to approximately £50 million in aggregate.

Any Company shares repurchased on such European trading venues under Tranche 4a of the
Programme will be effected in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct
Authority, the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 (as incorporated into UK domestic law by the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and the Company’s authorities to repurchase Company
shares. Any Company shares repurchased on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange under Tranche 4a of
the Programme will be effected in accordance with the Company’s authorities to repurchase shares.
The repurchase of Company shares may be discontinued in the event the Company ceases to have
the necessary authorities to repurchase ordinary shares.

The Company will cancel the repurchased Company shares.

JPM and/or its affiliates may undertake transactions in Company shares (which may include sales and
hedging activities, in addition to purchases which may take place on any available trading venue or on
an over the counter basis) during the Purchase Period in order to manage its market exposure under
the Programme. Disclosure of such transactions will not be made by JPM and/or its affiliates as a result
of or as part of the Programme, but JPM and/or its affiliates will continue to make any disclosures it is
otherwise legally required to make. JPM may effect purchases of Company shares on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange through one or more of its affiliates or any broker-dealer authorised to
trade on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
