Result of Annual General Meeting 2024
Quilter plc (the "Company") announces that at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today, all the resolutions put to shareholders
were passed by the requisite majorities. Resolutions 1 to 15 were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 16 and 17 were passed as
special resolutions.
The Company notes that more than 20% of the votes cast on resolution 15 ("To authorise political donations by the Company and its
subsidiaries") were against that resolution.
The Company has actively engaged with our shareholders on this issue since Listing in 2018 and understand their concerns which reflect a
difference in market practice for many of our South African shareholders. The Company will continue to engage with shareholders in
accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and will provide an update on these discussions in due course.

Notes:
i. As at 6:30pm on Tuesday 21 May 2024, the time by which shareholders who wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on
the Company's register of members, the number of issued shares in the Company was 1,404,105,498 ordinary shares. In accordance
with the Company's articles of association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy had one vote for every share held.

against a resolution.
iii. All percentages are shown to two decimal places.
Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM today will be

https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
