Replacement Total Voting Rights and Capital

The following amendments have been made to the 'Total Voting Rights and Capital' announcement released on 31 July 2019 at 16:36 under RNS No 4386H:

1.   the issued share capital and the total number of voting rights in Close Brothers Group plc ("CBG") has changed from 151,395,193 to 151,396,181 ordinary shares of 25p each; and

2.   the number of ordinary shares which have been bought back and held in treasury has changed from 665,097 to 664,109 ordinary shares.

All other details remain unchanged.

For the avoidance of doubt, the figures stated for CBG's issued share capital and shares held in treasury in the 'Transaction in Own Shares' announcement released on 12 August 2019 at 14:46 under RNS No 7603I are correct and unaffected by this amended announcement.  The figures in that announcement may be used at the present time by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, CBG under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The full amended text is shown below.

In accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, Close Brothers Group plc ("CBG") notifies the market that as at 31 July 2019:

CBG's issued share capital consists of 151,396,181 ordinary shares of 25p each with voting rights.

This figure excludes 664,109 ordinary shares which have been bought back and held in treasury by CBG. These shares are not taken into consideration in relation to the payment of dividends and voting at shareholders' meetings.

Therefore, the total number of voting rights in CBG is 151,396,181. This figure may be used by shareholders (and others with notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, CBG under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
