Ruth Markland
Chair
Dear shareholder
2026 Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
I am pleased to invite you to Quilter plc's 2026 AGM to be held on Thursday 14 May 2026 at 11:00am (UK time) at Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4AB.
Our AGM is an important opportunity for the Board and me to engage directly with our shareholders to review our performance over the last year and answer your questions on the business of the meeting.
I look forward to welcoming you to the meeting in person or virtually by telephone.
Voting your shares before the meeting
Your vote is important and should you be unable to join us in person, please exercise your vote in advance of the meeting by appointing a proxy and providing them with your voting instructions. Shareholders joining us by telephone will not be able to vote on the day. Details on how to vote are set out in the voting documentation sent to you by post or email, in accordance with your instructions.
Asking a question
You can get in touch with me via the Company Secretary at [email protected] if you have any questions on the business of the meeting. Please send your questions to the Company Secretary by 5:00pm (UK time) on Friday 8 May 2026.
The questions and answers will be published on our General Meeting ("GM") Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm in advance of the proxy voting deadline. This will enable you to have your questions answered before you vote your shares. If you submit a question after this time, we will respond to you as soon as possible. If you attend the AGM in person or join the meeting by telephone, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions on the day.
AGM arrangements
Information about the AGM arrangements, including joining the meeting by telephone and how you can have your say, is set out in more detail on pages 13 to 14.
Please do ensure you check the GM Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm regularly for up to date information about the meeting.
Resolutions to be put to the meeting
The formal Notice of AGM (the "Notice"), including an explanation of the resolutions to be considered and voted on at the AGM, is set out on pages 4 to 8 of this document. The procedures for participation and voting are set out on pages 10 to 12.
We will be asking shareholders to approve a number of standard resolutions that UK-listed companies typically propose annually.
Your Directors
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, all Directors on the Board will be seeking re-election at the AGM other than George Reid who has notified the Board that he will not seek re-election and will stand down at the conclusion of the meeting. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank George for his significant contribution to Quilter as a Board member and as Chair of the Board Audit Committee.
The biographies of the Directors seeking re-election can be found with the respective resolutions on pages 4 to 6 of this document. Each Director serving during 2025 and seeking re-election has been subject to an individual performance review, further details of which can be found in our 2025 Annual Report at plc.quilter.com/annualreport. This review confirmed that each Director is discharging his or her duties and responsibilities effectively and continues to make a strong contribution to the work of the Board and to Quilter. Each Director brings valuable skills and experience to the Board and its Board Committees and continues to meet the agreed time commitments. Each year, the Board reviews the independence of all Non-executive Directors, with particular attention paid to their length of tenure. In light of the tenure of Moira Kilcoyne, who has served on the Board for over nine years, her contribution and independence were subject to a more rigorous review. This review considered the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024, as well as the balance of independence and tenure on the Board. The Board is satisfied that Moira's contribution remains critical to the long-term success of the Company and that she continues to provide effective challenge, advice and support to management on strategic transformational projects as they enter pivotal phases. The Board is also satisfied that all Non-executive Directors remain independent. Further details of the review are included on page 9.
Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Letter from your Chair continued
Andrew Ross joined the Board on 1 January 2026 as a Non-executive Director and will stand for re-election by Quilter's shareholders for the first time. His deep knowledge in wealth and asset management, together with his board-level experience in the wealth management sector, enables him to make a significant contribution to the Board.
Political donations and expenditure
Resolution 15 seeks authority with respect to political donations and expenditure up to an aggregate amount of £50,000. As noted in previous years, this authority is simply a precautionary measure to ensure that the Company and its subsidiaries do not inadvertently breach the Companies Act 2006. No such donations were made or expenditure incurred by the Company in the UK, South Africa or anywhere else in the world during 2025, and neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, have any intention of making such donations or incurring such expenditure in the future.
Further information on this resolution can be found on pages 6 and 7.
Share Buyback Programme
I would like to draw your attention to resolutions 16 and 17 which seek authority from shareholders for the Company to repurchase its own shares. On 4 March 2026, Quilter announced the outcome of the capital review conducted in 2025 and launched a Share Buyback Programme (the "Programme") of up to £100 million. Purchases of shares under the Programme commenced on the same day in accordance with the authorities granted by shareholders at the 2025 AGM. Shareholders are now asked to renew these authorities to support the Programme and any further repurchases that the Company may determine in line with the new Distribution Policy, which was also announced as part of our Full Year Results in March 2026. The Distribution Policy confirms the Board's intention to maintain ordinary dividends payable in cash alongside annual share buyback programmes. You can read more about our Distribution Policy at plc.quilter.com/dividends.
Resolution 17 is required to support the share buyback programmes in South Africa, where the usual share buyback mechanism used in the UK on the London Stock Exchange (the "LSE") is not effective for transactions executed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the "JSE"). The proposed Contingent Purchase Contracts enable us to carry out off-market share repurchases in South Africa. This year, we are seeking shareholder approval to allow additional banks to support any share buyback programmes, thereby providing the Board with greater optionality. Only one bank will act on the Company's behalf at any given time. The authorities requested under this resolution will remain in place until the conclusion of the 2027 AGM, or until close of business on 30 June 2027 (if earlier).
Voting by poll
All resolutions at the AGM will be put to a vote on a poll, reflecting all proxy voting instructions received. We believe this ensures that the views of all shareholders are accurately reflected. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held.
Recommendation
The Board believes that all the resolutions set out in the Notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Directors therefore unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings.
Voting results
The results of the voting on the resolutions will be announced to the LSE and JSE and will be published on our GM Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm as soon as practicable after the meeting.
We will also make my statement and responses to shareholder questions available on our GM Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm.
On behalf of your Board, I would like to thank you for your continued support and I very much look forward to meeting you at this year's AGM.

Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notice of Annual General Meeting
Notice is hereby given that the 2026 Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) of Quilter plc (the “Company”) will be held on Thursday 14 May 2026 at 11:00am (UK time) at Senator House, 85 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4AB to consider and, if thought fit, pass resolutions 1 to 17.
Resolutions 1 to 15 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, more than half of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
Resolutions 16 and 17 will be proposed as special resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed, at least three quarters of the votes cast must be in favour of the resolution.
Ordinary resolutions
Annual Report and Accounts
- To receive the Annual Report and Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
The Directors must present the Company's 2025 Annual Report and Accounts to the AGM in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Remuneration Report
- To approve the Remuneration Report (excluding the part summarising the Directors’ Remuneration Policy) for the financial year ended 31 December 2025.
The Directors are required by the Companies Act 2006 to present the Remuneration Report to the AGM for approval by shareholders. The Remuneration Report appears on pages 82 to 105 of the 2025 Annual Report and Accounts (with the resolution excluding the summary of the Directors’ Remuneration Policy on pages 88 to 91). This vote is advisory, and the Directors’ entitlement to remuneration is not conditional on the passing of the resolution.
Final Dividend
- To declare a Final Dividend of 4.3 pence per Ordinary Share of 8 1/6 pence nominal value for the financial year ended 31 December 2025, payable on Monday 18 May 2026 to ordinary shareholders named on each of the United Kingdom and South African registers of members at the close of business on Friday 17 April 2026.
The Final Dividend, which has been recommended by the Directors, can only be paid after shareholders in general meeting have approved it. Further information regarding the Final Dividend, including the timetable, is set out in the Dividend page on our website at plc.quilter.com/dividends.
In compliance with the rules issued by the Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”) in relation to the UK Solvency II regime and other regulatory requirements to which the Group is subject, the Final Dividend is required to remain cancellable at any point prior to it becoming due and payable on Monday 18 May 2026 and to be cancelled if, prior to payment, the Group ceases to hold capital resources equal to or in excess of its Solvency Capital Requirement, or if that would be the case if the Final Dividend was paid. The Directors have no intention of exercising this cancellation right, other than in the unlikely event that it is required to do so by the PRA or for regulatory capital purposes.
Re-election of Directors
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 (the “Code”) and the Company’s Articles of Association, each Director who wishes to remain in office will submit themselves for re-election by shareholders at the AGM. Biographical details of the Directors standing for re-election, including the reasons why their contributions are important to the Company’s long-term sustainable success, are set out on the following pages.
Andrew Ross, who was appointed to the Board on 1 January 2026, will stand for re-election for the first time at this AGM. As announced on 4 March 2026, George Reid will not seek re-election and will stand down as a Director at the conclusion of the meeting.
All Directors standing for re-election at the AGM have confirmed their willingness to continue to serve as a Director of the Company. The Board, on the recommendation of the Board Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee, has concluded that all Non-executive Directors are independent as defined in the Code, that Ruth Markland was independent on her appointment as Chair, and that all Directors have demonstrated that they have sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities. In 2025, the Board asked Moira Kilcoyne, who has served for over nine years on the Quilter Board, to stand for re-election at the 2026 AGM. An explanation as to why the Board believes Moira’s re-election is in the best interests of shareholders and the Company is set out on page 9. Please read more about Directors standing for re-election on pages 4 to 6.

Auditor
13. To re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Auditor to hold office until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting at which the accounts are laid.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Auditor of the Company must be appointed by shareholders at each AGM at which the Annual Report and Accounts are presented. The Board is proposing the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, on the recommendation of the Board Audit Committee.
14. To authorise the Board Audit Committee, acting for and on behalf of the Board, to determine the remuneration of the Auditor.
The Companies Act 2006 requires the remuneration of the Auditor of the Company to be fixed by the shareholders or in such manner as determined by the shareholders. This resolution authorises the Board Audit Committee to fix the remuneration of the Auditor for 2026, in line with best practice.
Authorisation for political donations or expenditure
- That, in accordance with sections 366 and 367 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company and all companies that are subsidiaries of the Company at any time during the period for which this resolution has effect are authorised to:
(a) make political donations to political parties or independent election candidates not exceeding £50,000 in total;
(b) make political donations to political organisations other than political parties not exceeding £50,000 in total; and
(c) incur political expenditure not exceeding £50,000 in total,
provided that the aggregate amount of any such donations and expenditure shall not exceed £50,000, during the period beginning with the date of the passing of this resolution and ending at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2027.
For the purpose of this resolution the terms "political donations", "political parties", "independent election candidates", "political organisations" and "political expenditure" have the meanings set out in sections 363 to 365 of the Companies Act 2006.
At its AGM on Thursday 22 May 2025, the Company and its subsidiaries were granted an authority in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 to make donations to political organisations and incur political expenditure not exceeding £50,000. This authority was granted for one year and will expire at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.
From our ongoing dialogue with shareholders, we recognise that in the South African governance context, any linkage between business and politics is sensitive.
Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notice of Annual General Meeting continued
Quilter has not made any political donations nor does it intend to in future. However, in line with other UK listed companies, we continue to seek a standard UK resolution purely as a precautionary measure to avoid any inadvertent breaches of the Companies Act 2006.
The Companies Act 2006 prohibits the Company and its subsidiaries from making political donations or from incurring political expenditure in respect of a political party or other political organisation or an independent election candidate unless authorised by the Company's shareholders. No political donations were made by Quilter and no political expenditure was incurred in the UK, South Africa or anywhere else in the world during 2025. Neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries, has any intention of making any political donations or incurring any political expenditure. However, since the Companies Act 2006 defines "political party", "political organisation", "political donation" and "political expenditure" widely, the Company wishes to ensure that neither it nor its subsidiaries inadvertently commits any breaches of the Companies Act 2006 through the undertaking of routine activities, which would not normally be interpreted as political donations and political expenditure. Should the Company become aware that it has inadvertently made any political donations or incurred any political expenditure, this will be disclosed in the Company's next Annual Report and Accounts.
As permitted under the Companies Act 2006, the resolution covers the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company at any time during which the authority is in place. The proposed authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM of the Company or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2027.
We understand the importance of open and continuing dialogue and will continue to engage with our large South African shareholders.
Special resolutions
Purchase of own shares
In March 2026, Quilter announced the launch of a Share Buyback Programme to purchase up to £100 million worth of shares. At the same time, the Board confirmed that Quilter would operate a new Distribution Policy, combining ordinary dividends paid in cash and annual share buyback programmes.
Resolutions 16 and 17 relate to the purchase by the Company of its own shares. The power given by these resolutions, if passed, will only be exercised if the Directors are satisfied that any purchase will increase the earnings per share of the Ordinary Share capital in issue after the purchase and, accordingly, that the purchase is in the interests of shareholders. The Directors will also give careful consideration to gearing levels and regulatory capital requirements of the Company and its general financial position. The purchase price would be paid out of distributable profits.
The use of shares purchased through any share buyback programme that may be approved by the Directors under the Distribution Policy, or otherwise, will be determined by the Board at the appropriate time, considering the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. It is currently intended that the Company will cancel the shares repurchased pursuant to the Share Buyback Programme announced in March 2026. The Companies Act 2006 permits the Company to hold shares in treasury, as an alternative to cancelling them, following a purchase of its own shares. Shares held in treasury may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy share options and share awards under the Company's employee share schemes. Once held in treasury, the Company is not entitled to exercise any rights, including the right to attend and vote at general meetings. Further, no dividend or other distribution of the Company's assets may be made to the Company in respect of the treasury shares.
The maximum number of shares which may be purchased under the authorities proposed by resolutions 16 and 17 will be, in aggregate, 139,992,552 shares representing up to 10% of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at Friday 13 March 2026. Should the Company's issued share capital as at the date of the AGM be lower than the issued share capital as at Friday 13 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice) the Directors will limit the Company's use of this authority to 10% of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.
The total number of options to subscribe for Ordinary Shares that were outstanding at Friday 13 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice) was 33,279,764. The proportion of issued share capital that they represented at that time was 2.38% and the proportion of issued share capital that they will represent if the full authority to purchase shares (existing and being sought under resolutions 16 and 17) is used is 2.97%.
Market purchase of own shares
- That, in accordance with section 701 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company is generally and unconditionally authorised to make market purchases (within the meaning of section 693 of the Companies Act 2006) of ordinary shares of 8 1/6 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") on such terms and in such manner as the Directors of the Company may determine provided that:
(a) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be purchased under this authority (when aggregated with any purchases made pursuant to resolution 17) is 139,992,552;
(b) the maximum price which may be paid for any Ordinary Share purchased under this authority (exclusive of expenses payable by the Company in connection with the purchase) shall not be more than the higher of:
i) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market prices shown in the quotations for the Ordinary Shares in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that Ordinary Share is purchased; and
ii) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an Ordinary Share and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out;
(c) the minimum price which may be paid shall be the nominal value of that Ordinary Share (exclusive of expenses payable by the Company in connection with the purchase);
(d) this authority shall expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2027 unless renewed before that time; and
(e) the Company may make a contract or contracts to purchase Ordinary Shares under this authority before its expiry which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of this authority and may make a purchase of Ordinary Shares in pursuance of any such contract.
Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notice of Annual General Meeting continued
A special resolution was passed at the Company's AGM held on Thursday 22 May 2025 empowering the Directors to purchase Ordinary Shares in the market, and it is proposed that this authority be renewed, in line with UK market practice.
The price paid for these Ordinary Shares will not be less than the nominal value of 8 1/6 pence per share nor more than the higher of:
(a) an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market prices shown in the quotations for the Ordinary Shares in the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that Ordinary Share is purchased; and
(b) an amount equal to the higher of the price of the last independent trade of an Ordinary Share and the highest current independent bid for an Ordinary Share on the trading venue where the purchase is carried out.
This resolution will be proposed as a special resolution to provide the Company with the necessary authority. The authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2027.
Purchase of own shares (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) – Contingent Purchase Contracts
- That Contingent Purchase Contracts each in the form produced to the meeting, between the Company and each of:
(a) Citigroup Global Markets (PTY) LTD;
(b) Goldman Sachs International;
(c) Investec Wealth & Investment International (Pty) Ltd;
(d) J.P.Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited; and
(e) Merrill Lynch International
relating to ordinary shares of 8 1/6 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") traded on the JSE, pursuant to which the Company may make off-market purchases from Citigroup Global Markets (PTY) LTD, Goldman Sachs International, Investec Wealth & Investment International (Pty) Ltd, J.P.Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited and Merrill Lynch International of up to a maximum of 139,992,552 Ordinary Shares in aggregate (such maximum number to be reduced by any purchases
made pursuant to the authority in resolution 16), be and are hereby approved in accordance with sections 693 and 694 of the Companies Act 2006, and that the Company be and is hereby authorised to make off-market purchases of Ordinary Shares pursuant to each such contract until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting of the Company after the passing of this resolution or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 June 2027.
Approval is sought in resolution 17 to enter into Contingent Purchase Contracts with each of: (a) Citigroup Global Markets (PTY) LTD; (b) Goldman Sachs International; (c) Investec Wealth & Investment International (Pty) Ltd; (d) J.P.Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited; and (e) Merrill Lynch International relating to potential purchases of the Company's shares on the JSE where the Company has a secondary listing.
For the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, the share purchases under these contracts are treated as an off-market purchase, however, the contracts are intended to enable the Company to buy back its shares on the JSE in similar fashion and subject to the same overall limits as on-market purchases on the LSE. Under sections 693 and 694 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company is not permitted to make off-market purchases or contingent purchases of its shares unless it obtains advance shareholder approval to the terms of the contracts.
The appointment of five banks will give the Board additional flexibility in the running of the share buyback programmes. The principal features of the Contingent Purchase Contracts are as follows:
(i) Citigroup Global Markets (PTY) LTD, Goldman Sachs International, Investec Wealth & Investment International (Pty) Ltd, J.P.Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited and Merrill Lynch International (as the case may be) may, following instruction from the Company, acquire Ordinary Shares on the JSE, which the Company may become obliged to purchase;
(ii) the purchase price for the Ordinary Shares shall not exceed 5% above the average of the closing quotations on the JSE in local currency terms for the five business days before the date the Ordinary Shares are purchased by the Company;
(iii) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares that could be acquired under the contracts and pursuant to resolution 16 shall not exceed 139,992,552; and
(iv) the Company shall only instruct or irrevocably appoint Citigroup Global Markets (PTY) LTD, Goldman Sachs
International, Investec Wealth & Investment International (Pty) Ltd, J.P.Morgan Equities South Africa Proprietary Limited and Merrill Lynch International (as applicable) to purchase the Ordinary Shares provided the Company is then able to comply in relation to the purchase of the Ordinary Shares with the provisions of English and South African law then applicable (including the relevant listing rules) and has sufficient distributable reserves available for such purchase.
A copy of each of the proposed Contingent Purchase Contracts will be made available for inspection at the Company's registered office during normal business hours for 15 days ending on the date of the AGM and at the place of the meeting for a period of 15 minutes immediately before the meeting until its conclusion.
This resolution will be proposed as a special resolution. The authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM or, if earlier, at the close of business on 30 June 2027.

Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Directors standing for re-election: Board tenure and succession
Background
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024 (the "Code"), Quilter places strong emphasis on ensuring that the Board maintains a significant overall level of independence. Particular attention is paid to the continued independence of Non-executive Directors once they have served more than six years on the Board, with enhanced scrutiny for those whose tenure exceeds nine years.
Following the refresh of the Board over the past few years, of the seven Non-executive Directors currently serving (not including the Board Chair), three have served for less than three years and a further two for less than six. Of the remaining two, on 4 March 2026, we announced that George Reid will not stand for re-election at the 2026 AGM. Moira Kilcoyne, at the request of the Board, will stand for re-election. In 2025, the Board gave specific consideration to Moira's tenure as she had completed her third three-year term on the Board. In doing so, the Board discussed the overall balance of tenure among the Non-executive Directors, and recognised the importance of maintaining a broad spread of tenure to support continuity and effective challenge. The assessment consisted of two components.
Strategic Rationale
First, the Board reviewed the Board Skills and Experience Matrix and discussed the critical role that Moira plays in constructively challenging management on technology strategy, operations, data and change. Her deep knowledge and broad expertise in these areas have been instrumental in enabling the Board to oversee effectively Quilter's major transformation programmes, which are of strategic importance to the Group. The Board's assessment is that her continued input remains in the best interests of Quilter and its stakeholders, given her detailed understanding of the evolution of our IT estate and architecture, and her knowledge from inception of the significant transformation programmes currently underway. These include the enhancements to the technology we provide to advisers and the ongoing implementation of improved systems and controls in our contact centre. Moira's extensive experience in overseeing major change initiatives enables rigorous scrutiny of these programmes, and the Board concluded that retaining her knowledge and expertise on the Board at this time is in the best interests of Quilter's shareholders and other stakeholders. You can read more about how we are ensuring the business is future fit on pages 10 and 57 of our 2025 Annual Report at plc.quilter.com/annualreport.
Independence
Second, in light of the Board's consideration of the strategic importance of Moira's continued tenure, the Board conducted an enhanced assessment of her independence. It considered any factors that could impair, or appear to impair, her independence. This included a review of Moira's ability to challenge management objectively, her significant contributions to Board deliberations, and her compliance with all other independence criteria set out in the Code. Feedback from prior Board Effectiveness Reviews, input from management, and an assessment of her external commitments further supported the Board's conclusion that Moira continues to demonstrate independence of character and judgment and that she remains an independent Director for the purposes of the Code.
Outcome
The Board concluded that it is critical at this time for Moira to continue to serve on the Board, given her deep knowledge and understanding of the Group's strategic transformation projects as they enter pivotal phases. Moira's appointment and independence will remain subject to annual review. In the meantime, to support orderly succession, the Chair has commenced a search for an additional Board member with deep expertise in technology strategy, including data, digital, operations and transformation.
The Board concluded that the re-election of Moira Kilcoyne is in the best interests of the Company and accordingly shareholders are asked to approve her re-election at the 2026 AGM.

Notes
When reading these notes, please take into account the arrangements for this year's meeting which are set out in Your Questions Answered (on pages 13 and 14). Please ensure you check our GM Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm for up to date information about our AGM arrangements.
1. Eligibility to attend and vote
Only persons entered on the UK Register and South African Register of the Company at 6:30pm (UK time) on Tuesday 12 May 2026 (or, in the event of any adjournment, at the close of business on the date which is two business days before the time of the adjourned meeting) are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting either in person or by proxy and the number of Ordinary Shares then registered in their respective names shall determine the number of votes such persons are entitled to cast on a poll at the meeting. Shareholders on the South African Register who have dematerialised their Ordinary Shares through Strate, other than those whose shareholding is recorded in their "own name" in the sub-register maintained by their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP"), and who wish to attend the meeting in person, will need to request their CSDP or broker to provide them with the authority to do so in terms of the custody agreement entered into between the dematerialised shareholder and their CSDP or broker.
If you are unable to attend the meeting in person at our offices, we recommend you appoint a proxy and register a voting instruction using your Proxy Form/Voting Instruction Form ahead of the meeting. Please note that shareholders joining us by telephone will not be able to vote on the day.
You can submit questions on the business of the meeting in advance by emailing the Company Secretary at [email protected] by 5:00pm (UK time) on Friday 8 May 2026. The questions and answers will be published on our GM Hub, plc.quilter.com/gm, in advance of the voting deadline. This will enable you, if you do not plan to attend the AGM in person, to have your questions answered before you vote your shares. If you submit a question after this time, we will respond to you as soon as possible. If you attend the AGM in person or join the meeting by telephone, you will also have the opportunity to ask questions on the day.
We will make the Chair's statement and responses to shareholder questions available on our GM Hub at plc.quilter.com/gm as soon as practicable after the meeting.
2. Appointment of proxy
A member is entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of his/her rights to attend and to speak and vote instead of him/her at the meeting. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to a meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by him/her. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A Proxy Form which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this Notice. If you have not given specific instructions on how your proxy should vote in respect of any resolution, your proxy will have discretion to vote or abstain on that resolution, as they see fit. Your proxy can vote, or abstain from voting, as they decide on any other business (including any motion to amend a resolution or to adjourn the meeting) which may validly come before the meeting.
If you are unable to attend the meeting in person at our offices, we recommend you appoint a proxy and register a voting instruction using your Proxy Form/Voting Instruction Form ahead of the meeting. Completion and return of a Proxy Form will not prevent you from attending, speaking and voting in person at the meeting if you wish.
3. Submission of proxy appointment online
You can submit your proxy votes online by visiting plc.quilter.com/vote and following the onscreen instructions.
UK shareholders will be directed to Shareview, operated by our Registrar, Equiniti, where you can log in to your Shareview Portfolio. Once you have logged in, simply click "View" on the "My Investments" page and then click on the link to vote and follow the on-screen instructions. If you have not yet registered for a Shareview Portfolio, please click on "Register" and enter the requested information. It is important that you register for a Shareview Portfolio with enough time to complete the registration and authentication processes before being able to vote your shares.
South African shareholders will be directed to our Registrar's voting website and will need to provide their Postcode/Country code and Shareholder Reference Number ("SRN") to validate the submission of their proxy online. South African shareholders' individual IDs and SRN numbers are shown on their printed Proxy Form/Voting Instruction Form.
All appointments must be submitted by the deadline shown on the Proxy Form/Voting Instruction Form.
4. Submission of proxy appointment by post
The Proxy Form and power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified or office copy of such power or authority must be received by the Company's Registrars (Equiniti Limited, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA in the case of shareholders on the UK Register, or JSE Investor Services (Pty) Limited, PO Box 10462, Johannesburg, 2000 in the case of shareholders on the South African Register) not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting. You must inform the Company's Registrars in writing of any termination of the authority of a proxy.
5. Submission of proxy appointment by CREST
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST Proxy Instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and International Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available by logging in at www.euroclear.com). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID RA19) by 11:00am (UK time) on Tuesday 12 May 2026. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
Quilter plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2026
Notes continued
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors, or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK and International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if they are a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or have appointed a voting service provider, to procure that their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. Accordingly, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
6. Submission of proxy appointments by Proxymity
If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy for the AGM, and any adjournment thereof, electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11:00am (UK time) on Tuesday 12 May 2026 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy using this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
7. South African dematerialised holders
Shareholders on the South African Register who have dematerialised their shares, and are not registered as "own name" dematerialised shareholders, who wish to vote, but cannot attend the AGM, must provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions in accordance with the relevant custody agreement entered into between them and the CSDP or broker. Such shareholders must not complete a Proxy Form.
8. Corporate representatives
Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
9. Representatives of shareholders joining by telephone
Duly appointed representatives of shareholders will need to contact Equiniti before 11:00am (UK time) on Tuesday 12 May 2026 to receive their Unique Reference Number which will allow access to the meeting by telephone. Contact details can be found on page 15.
10. Information rights
A person to whom this Notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a "Nominated Person") may, under an agreement between them and the shareholder by whom they were nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, they may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
The statement of the rights of members in relation to the appointment of proxies in notes 2, 3 and 4 above does not apply to a Nominated Person. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by registered members of the Company.
Nominated Persons are reminded that they should contact the registered holder of their shares (and not the Company) on matters relating to their investments in the Company.
11. Total voting rights
As at Friday 13 March 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice), the Company's issued share capital consists of 1,399,925,524 Ordinary Shares of 8 1/6 pence each carrying one vote each. No shares are held in treasury. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at Friday 13 March 2026 was 1,399,925,524.
12. Polls
All resolutions will be put to vote on a poll and voting will reflect all proxy voting instructions duly received. This will result in an accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held.
13. Audit concerns
Under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 members meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company's Accounts (including the Auditor's Report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an Auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Companies Act 2006. The Company may not require the members requesting such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Companies Act 2006, and it must forward the statement to the Company's Auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Companies Act 2006 to publish on its website.
14. Right to ask questions
A member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (a) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (b) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (c) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered. Shareholders are reminded that unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated at the meeting and will be dealt with appropriately by the Chair.
