Liontrust Asset Management Plc

("Liontrust" or the "Company")

Launch of Share Buyback Programme

Liontrust, the independent fund management group, is pleased to announce the
launch of an on-market buyback programme to repurchase ordinary shares of 1p
each in the capital of the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") equating to up to
£10 million over the period to 30 June 2026 (the "Buyback").

The Company has appointed Panmure Liberum Limited ("Panmure Liberum") to
execute and manage the Buyback and has given an irrevocable instruction
to Panmure Liberum to make market purchases of Ordinary Shares on its behalf
independently to the Company. The Buyback will be conducted in accordance
with Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014. The Buyback will run from
the date of this announcement to 30 June 2026, unless terminated earlier.

Shares purchased under the Buyback will take place in open market transactions
and may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price
and trading volumes.

The Company intends to conduct the Buyback within the limitations of the
shareholder authority granted at the Company's AGM held on 18 September 2025,
under which the maximum number of shares authorised to be acquired is
6,376,461 and the maximum price which may be paid by the Company per Ordinary
Share shall be 5 per cent above the average middle market quotations for an
Ordinary Share (as derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List)
for the five business days immediately preceding the date of repurchase
(exclusive of expenses).

The Buyback will be funded from the Company's existing cash resources and
all Ordinary Shares repurchased will be cancelled, with the purpose of the
Buyback being to reduce the Company's issued share capital. Repurchases may
be made up to and including 30 June 2026.

There is no guarantee that the Buyback programme will be implemented in full
or that any repurchases will be made.

As at the time of this announcement, the Company's total issued share capital
consists of 63,764,615 Ordinary Shares with one voting right per share. The
Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of
voting rights in the Company is 63,764,615.

The above figure of 63,764,615 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
