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

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 (the "Offer Price") in respect of the
Company's initial public offering (the "Global Offer") 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 indicative price range in respect of the Global Offer (the
"Price Range") announced by the Selling Shareholder on 11 June and
to be included in the supplementary prospectus to be published by
the Company on 11 June 2018 (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 published by the Company on 20 April
2018 (the "Prospectus"), the supplementary prospectus published by
the Company on 30 April 2018 (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. Acquiring
investments
to which this announcement relates may expose an investor to a
significant risk of losing all of the amount invested. 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.

the date thereof. The contents of the Prospectus, the Q1 Results
Supplement, the Price Range Supplement and any other prospectus
supplements to be issued by the Company in connection with the
Global Offer should not be construed as legal, business, financial
or tax advice. None of the Company, the Selling Shareholder, the
Banks or any of their respective representatives, is making any

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.
