       Update Statement with respect to 2023 Annual General Meeting Resolution Vote

At our AGM held on 18 May 2023, resolution 16, which sought authorisation for political donations or
expenditure, passed with the requisite majority of votes, however 25% of the votes cast were against
the resolution.

As we reported following the 2022 AGM, there was a significant difference in voting between the South
African and UK share registers on this resolution with 58.88% and 99.92% support respectively. In line
with provision 4 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have continued to directly engage, as we
have done since Listing in 2018, with our largest South African shareholders on this resolution to
further understand their views. We do believe our South African shareholders now have a better
understanding of the purpose of this resolution however we continue to recognise that in a current
South African governance context, any linkage between business and politics is sensitive. Quilter has
no intention of undertaking political donations and has not done so since Listing but, in line with other
listed UK companies, has sought such authority to avoid any inadvertent breaches of UK company law
given the breadth of the applicable provisions. We understand the importance of continuing dialogue
and effective communication with our shareholders to ensure that it is clear that the Board believe
that this authority is simply a precautionary measure to ensure that the Company (and its subsidiaries)
does not inadvertently breach in the UK, South Africa or anywhere else in the world UK company law.
We will also continue to explain clearly the reasons why the Board believe this resolution is an
important protection for the Company in the 2024 Notice of Annual General Meeting.
