Result of Annual General Meeting 2025
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 16 were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 17 and 18 were passed as
special resolutions.
The Company notes that more than 20% of the votes cast on resolution 16 (“To authorise political donations by the Company and its
subsidiaries”) were against that resolution.
The Company actively engages with our shareholders on this and understand their concerns which reflect a difference in market practice
between the UK and some 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.

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.
