   Result of Placing 
 
   Further to the announcement earlier today in relation to the proposed 
placing of ordinary shares, Rathbone Brothers Plc ("Rathbones" or the 
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully placed 
2,400,000 ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") with institutional 
investors ("Placees") at a price of 2,500p per share (the "Placing 
Price") via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing"). Peel Hunt LLP 
("Peel Hunt") and RBC Europe Limited ("RBC") acted as joint bookrunners 
in connection with the Placing. 
 
   The Placing has raised gross proceeds of GBP60 million (net proceeds 
approximately GBP58 million). The Placing Shares being issued represent, 
in aggregate, approximately 4.66 per cent of Rathbones issued ordinary 
share capital prior to the Placing. The Placing Price represents a 
discount of 0.08% to the closing price on 13 June 2018. The Placing 
Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu 
with the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company 
including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions 
declared, made or paid after the date of issue of the Placing Shares. 
 
   Lindsell Train Ltd ("Lindsell Train") is a substantial shareholder of 
the Company for the purposes of, and is therefore considered to be a 
related party under, chapter 11 of the Listing Rules. Lindsell Train has 
committed to subscribe for 280,000 Placing Shares in the Placing. Under 
Listing Rule 11.1.10R, the participation in the Placing by Lindsell 
Train constitutes a smaller related party transaction and as such does 
not require the approval of independent ordinary shareholders of the 
Company. 
 
   Application has been made for the admission of the Placing Shares to the 
premium segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority 
and to the London Stock Exchange for admission to trading of the 
ordinary shares on its main market for listed securities (together, 
"Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 
8.00 a.m. on 18 June 2018 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will 
commence at that time. 
 
   Following Admission, the total number of shares of the Company in issue 
will be 53,886,992 and the total number of voting shares in the Company 
will be 53,886,992. 
 
   This above figure 53,886,992 may be used by shareholders as the 
denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they 
are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest 
in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. 
 
   Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the 
same meanings as set out in the placing announcement of the Company 
released at 07:00 AM on the date hereof.
