Quilter plc
Result of Annual General Meeting 2023
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 and resolution 20 were passed as ordinary resolutions and
resolutions 17 to 19 and resolution 21 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 has actively engaged with our shareholders on this
issue since Listing in 2018 and understand their concerns which
reflect a difference in market practice for many 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.
The results of the poll are set out below.

who wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on the
Company's register of members, the number of issued shares in the
Company was 1,404,105,498 ordinary shares. In accordance 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.

Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all resolutions,
other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM
