Prudential plc - Publication of Scrip Dividend Circular

 

On 28 August 2024, Prudential plc ("Prudential") announced the declaration of
a 2024 first interim dividend of 6.84 US cents per ordinary share (the
"Dividend"). On 30 August 2024, Prudential confirmed that a scrip dividend
alternative will be offered in respect of the Dividend in accordance with the
shareholder approval obtained at the 2024 annual general meeting.

 

On 12 September 2024, Prudential confirmed the "Scrip Reference Price" for the
issue of new shares under the scrip dividend alternative in respect of the
Dividend is US$8.046366 for each new ordinary share. Accordingly, in order to
participate in the scrip dividend alternative, shareholders must have held a
minimum of 118 ordinary shares on the applicable record date for the Dividend
(6 September 2024 for United Kingdom and Singapore shareholders, or 9
September 2024 for Hong Kong shareholders).

 

A shareholder circular in relation to the scrip dividend alternative has been
published today (the "Scrip Dividend Circular"), which will enclose a mandate
form to be completed by certain shareholders. The Scrip Dividend Circular will
include a letter from the Chair setting out further information on the scrip
dividend alternative, including how eligible shareholders can elect to receive
the scrip dividend alternative, details of the share dealing facility which
Prudential has made available (the "Dealing Facility") to enable United
Kingdom shareholders to participate in the scrip dividend alternative if they
cannot provide an address in Hong Kong or details of a Hong Kong qualifying
brokerage account (a requirement of holding shares on the Hong Kong line), and
a high-level summary of certain United Kingdom and Hong Kong tax information.
 

 

The Scrip Dividend Circular should be read in full before electing to receive
the scrip dividend alternative. This announcement is not a summary of the
Scrip Dividend Circular and should not be regarded as a substitute for reading
the Scrip Dividend Circular in full. Please refer to the Scrip Dividend
Circular for applicable deadlines for election for the scrip dividend
alternative.
