The information contained in this announcement is for background purposes only and does not purport to be full or complete. No reliance may be placed by any person for any purpose on the information contained in this announcement or its accuracy, fairness or completeness.

This announcement is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States. The distribution of this announcement may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions and persons into whose possession any document or other information referred to herein comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restriction. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

This announcement is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, securities in the United States, Australia, Canada or Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The securities to which this announcement relates have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Subject to certain exceptions, the securities referred to herein may not be offered or sold in Australia, Canada or Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any national, resident or citizen of Australia, Canada or Japan. There will be no public offering of the securities in the United States, Australia, Canada, Japan or elsewhere.

This announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation or advertisement to purchase and/or subscribe for Securities in South Africa, including an offer to the public for the sale of, or subscription for, or the solicitation or advertisement of an offer to buy and/or subscribe for, shares as defined in the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (as amended) or otherwise (the 'Act') and will not be distributed to any person in South Africa in any manner that could be construed as an offer to the public in terms of the Act. This announcement does not constitute a prospectus registered and/or issued in terms of the Act. Nothing in this announcement should be viewed, or construed, as 'advice', as that term is used in the South African Financial Markets Act, No. 19 of 2012, as amended, and/or Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act, No. 37 of 2002, as amended.

This announcement is distributed in any member state of the European Economic Area which applies Directive 2003/71/EC (such Directive, together with any amendments thereto including Directive 2010/73/EU, the 'Prospectus Directive') only to those persons who are qualified investors for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive in such member state, and such other persons as these materials may be addressed to on legal grounds, and no person that is not a relevant person or qualified investor may act or rely on this document or any of its contents.

The final offer price in respect of the Global Offer (the 'Offer Price') and the number of Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder in the Global Offer will be determined in due course and is currently expected to be announced on or about 25 June 2018. A number of factors will be considered in determining the final Offer Price and the number of Shares to be sold in the Global Offer, including the level and nature of demand for the Shares during the bookbuilding process, the prevailing market conditions and the objective of establishing an orderly and liquid after-market in the Shares. If the Price Range announced in the Price Range Supplement changes prior to the announcement of the final Offer Price, the revised Price Range will be announced and advertised as soon as possible and the Company will publish an additional supplementary prospectus. In certain circumstances, the Selling Shareholder may decide not to proceed with the Global Offer, but still to proceed with Admission. Any purchase of Shares in respect of the proposed Global Offer should be made solely on the basis of the information contained in the Prospectus, the Q1 Results Supplement, the Price Range Supplement and in any other prospectus supplements to be issued by the Company in connection with the Global Offer. The date of Admission may be influenced by things such as market conditions. There is no guarantee that Admission will occur and you should not base your financial decisions on Quilter plc's intentions in relation to Admission at this stage.

Persons considering making such investments should consult an authorised person specialising in advising on such investments. This announcement does not constitute a recommendation concerning the Global Offer. The value of shares can decrease as well as increase. Potential investors should consult a professional advisor as to the suitability of the Global Offer for the person concerned.

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ('MiFID II'); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the 'MiFID II Product Governance Requirements'), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any 'manufacturer' (for the purposes of the Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that the Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the 'Target Market Assessment'). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Global Offer. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Underwriters will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
