Share Buyback Programme update

Quilter plc (the "Company") commenced a share buyback programme (the "Programme") on 4 March 2026 to purchase shares with a value of up to £100 million in order to reduce the share capital of the Company, subject to remaining within certain pre-set parameters. The Board has kept the Programme under review to ensure it remains the most efficient and effective means of returning capital to shareholders.

Repurchases under the Programme to date total £70 million, comprising the first tranche (as announced by the Company on 4 March 2026) and the second tranche (as announced by the Company on 22 June 2026), of which £55.3 million were conducted on the London Stock Exchange and £14.7 million were conducted on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. To date, 37.6 million Quilter shares have been acquired, and cancelled, at an average price of 186 pence.

The Company has entered into various agreements with Merrill Lynch International ("MLI") under which it has issued an irrevocable instruction for MLI to manage the final tranche of the Programme of up to £30 million ("Tranche 3").

Company shares will be purchased on European trading venues, including the London Stock Exchange, and on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. MLI will carry out the instruction through the purchase of ordinary shares in the Company for subsequent repurchase by the Company. These purchases will be carried out during the period starting on 8 September 2026 and ending by 30 November 2026 (the "Engagement Period").  In limited circumstances the Engagement Period may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Company's agreements with MLI, in which case it will end no later than 17 December 2026. The maximum aggregate purchase price payable by the Company under Tranche 3 is up to approximately £30 million. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be purchased under Tranche 3 is 118,097,142.

All repurchases of Company shares under the Programme will be effected in accordance with Chapter 9 of the UK Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority, the UK Market Abuse Regulation and the Company's authorities to repurchase Company shares. The repurchase of Company shares will be discontinued in the event the Company ceases to have the necessary authorities to repurchase shares.

The Company will cancel the repurchased Company shares.

MLI and/or its affiliates may undertake transactions in shares (which may include sales and hedging activities, in addition to purchases which may take place on any available trading venue or on an over the counter basis) during the Engagement Period in order to manage its market exposure under the Programme. Disclosure of such transactions will not be made by MLI and/or its affiliates as a result of or as part of the Programme, but MLI and/or its affiliates will continue to make any disclosures it is otherwise legally required to make. MLI may effect purchases of Company shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange through one or more of its affiliates or any broker-dealer authorised to trade on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
