TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES - CORRECTION

Close Brothers Group plc (the "Company") announces a correction to each of the Transaction in Own Shares announcements released by the Company between 18 June 2018 and 30 July 2018 (inclusive). These announcements did not reflect the transfer of 1,715 ordinary shares of 25 pence each from treasury to participants in the Company's employee share plans on 14 June 2018. Immediately following the transfer of these shares on 14 June 2018, the Company held 624,290 of its ordinary shares in treasury and had 151,436,000 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).

Consequently, the number of treasury shares and the number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) that should have been announced by the Company in the Transaction in Own Shares announcements released between 18 June 2018 and 30 July 2018 was as follows:

Announcement date	Number of treasury shares	Number of ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares)
18 June 2018	621,454	151,438,836
25 June 2018	620,416	151,439,874
9 July 2018	617,928	151,442,362
16 July 2018	615,696	151,444,594
30 July 2018	614,911	151,445,379

The Total Voting Rights announcement released by the Company at 10.25 a.m. on 3 August 2018 sets out details of the Company's issued share capital, Company shares held in treasury and the total number of voting rights in the Company, each as at that date.
