Results of the 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 10 November 2023, the Company intends to purchase a total of 15,798,423 of its own ordinary
shares of 8 1/6 pence each (the "Odd-lot Shares") into Treasury on Monday 27 November 2023 (the
"Implementation Date"). This is constituted of:
i) 291,711 ordinary shares held on the UK share register at a price of 88.10 pence (GBP) per
share; and
ii) 15,506,712 ordinary shares held on the South African share register at a price of 2,008.91 cents
(ZAR) per share.
The Odd-lot Offer was implemented on Monday 18 September 2023 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 will reduce by circa 60% (126,011 shareholders).
This will lower 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 20 October 2023, 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 20 October 2023; 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 20 October 2023.
Odd-lot Holders recorded on the UK Register will be paid in pounds sterling by direct credit. If we do
not hold a shareholder's bank or building society details, a cheque in pounds sterling will be issued.
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 on Strate
through a CSDP or broker will receive payment in accordance with the mandate signed between the
CSDP or broker.
Payment will be made at the risk of the relevant Odd-lot Holder on the Implementation Date.
The Odd-lot Shares represent approximately 1.13% of the existing issued share capital of the
Company and will be purchased into Treasury. Subsequently, and on the Implementation Date, the
Company intends to transfer the Odd-lot Shares out of Treasury for nil consideration to the Trustee
of the Quilter Employee Benefit Trust. As a result, the Company will hold no ordinary shares in
Treasury and the total number of ordinary shares in issue will be 1,404,105,498. These transfers will
be confirmed by a separate announcement on the Implementation Date.
