Quilter plc (the “Company”) announces that the 2022 Annual Report, Notice of Annual General Meeting 2023

11:00am (UK time) at Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4AB.

As announced by the Company on Thursday 23 March 2023, in addition to the disclosed dates relating to the
2023 AGM, the 2022 Annual Report is also available to view online at plc.quilter.com/annualreport and the

Proposed Odd-lot Offer
Following our Odd-lot Offer in 2020, as part of our continued drive for greater efficiency and in line with our
desire to act in the best interests of all our shareholders, Quilter is considering undertaking another Odd-lot
Offer.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 12.4.4, the Company announces that it intends to propose the required resolutions
at the 2023 AGM seeking authorisation to launch the Odd-lot Offer. Full details in respect of such proposed
resolutions are set out in the Notice. The potential Odd-lot Offer is subject to shareholder approval at the 2023
AGM and other requisite regulatory approvals. If approved, Quilter will make an offer to eligible shareholders
(holders of fewer than 200 ordinary shares) to repurchase their shares at a modest premium to the market
price.

The Odd-lot Offer will reduce the complexity and cost to Quilter of managing our unusually large shareholder
base and will allow shareholders holding small numbers of shares to dispose of their holdings in a timely and
cost effective manner, without any dealing fees. Eligible shareholders can elect to retain their shareholding in
Quilter plc. Further information will be provided to eligible shareholders in due course.

Key dates for shareholders in respect of the resolutions to approve the Odd-lot Offer and eligibility to
participate in the Odd-lot Offer are set out below:
