Brewin Dolphin Holdings PLC

("Brewin Dolphin" or the "Company" or the "Group")

Contract for the replacement of custody and settlement system

Brewin Dolphin announces that its subsidiary, Brewin Dolphin Limited, has signed an Agreement with Avaloq UK Limited ("Avaloq") to replace its core custody and settlement system. This follows the Group's results presentation in November 2018 where it announced its intention to replace the current system. The contract is for an initial 10-year term and covers installation, ongoing support and maintenance. This contract forms part of an overall programme with costs estimated at circa £35m, which will be amortised over 10 years.

The implementation of Avaloq software will significantly enhance Brewin Dolphin's technology infrastructure and is a key component of the strategic investment that the Group is making to enrich its services and client proposition.

Avaloq is a pre-eminent provider of core software and digital technology to banks and wealth managers. Its robust and scalable software is used by around 160 wealth managers and banks globally to manage CHF 4 trillion in assets.

Grant Parkinson, COO of Brewin Dolphin said "We have created a high-calibre team who have built a detailed implementation plan to deliver this programme. The Avaloq system will provide us with a solid foundation for future growth. It gives us significant opportunity to increase straight-through-processing, improve the efficiency of handling client accounts and reduce operational risk. It will also be the basis from which we will deliver future client propositions."
