Stock Exchange Announcement

LIONTRUST ASSET MANAGEMENT PLC

Exercise of share options and allotment of shares

The Company announces that it has received notice from current Company employees to exercise outstanding share options granted under the Liontrust Long-Term Incentive Plan. Accordingly, the Company has issued and allotted 117,281 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") and application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the 117,281 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the LSE.

It is expected that admission will become effective and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence on 13 August 2020. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in the Company.

Following admission of the 117,281 new Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 60,947,115 Ordinary Shares with voting rights and that figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to the interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
