Quilter plc
Result of Annual General Meeting 2019
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 with the exception of resolution 19 ("To authorise the Directors to allot shares") which was largely opposed by South African shareholders. Resolutions 1 to 18 and resolution 23 were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 20, 21, 22 and 24 were passed as special resolutions.
The authority sought by the Company pursuant to resolution 19 is considered routine for UK listed companies and is in accordance with the UK Investment Association's share capital management guidelines and prevailing voting guidelines of leading corporate governance agencies applicable to UK listed companies. Given this, the resolution received overwhelming support from our UK investors. However, certain overseas institutional investors, mainly in South Africa, have not supported this resolution and thus the resolution has been narrowly rejected.
The Company notes that more than 20% of the votes cast on resolution 18 ("To authorise political donations by the Company and its subsidiaries") were against that resolution.
Following the outcome of today's vote, the Company will continue to engage with shareholders to better understand their concerns on both of these issues and, if possible, allay any such concerns for the future. The Company notes that it had specifically not sought a resolution to disapply pre-emption rights to address known concerns regarding potentially dilutive share offers. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Company will provide an update on those discussions in due course.
The results of the poll are set out below.

*Special resolution
Notes:
i. As at 6:30pm on 14 May 2019, the time by which shareholders 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 1,902,251,098 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.
ii. There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of the resolutions proposed at the AGM. Votes withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution.
In accordance with section 695 of the Companies Act 2006, votes cast in respect of shares held by or on behalf of Odd-lot Holders on the First Record Date (both terms as defined in the Notice of AGM) were excluded when determining whether resolution 24 was passed. For technical reasons, in order to effect this, the votes cast in respect of the aggregate number of shares that fall within limb (b) of the definition of "Odd-lots" in the Notice of AGM were deducted from their votes cast in favour of the resolution. For information purposes only, the unadjusted number of votes cast in favour of the resolution was 1,343,055,537.
iii. All percentages are shown to two decimal places.
Pursuant to UK Listing Rule 9.6.2R, copies of all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business, passed at the AGM today have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
The poll results and a webcast of the AGM will also be available to view shortly on the Company's website at quilter.com/agm.
