New shares to be issued in connection with the scrip dividend alternative

 

On 27 August 2025, Prudential plc ("Prudential") announced a scrip dividend alternative in respect of the 2025 first interim dividend of 7.71 US cents per ordinary share (the "Dividend"), offered in accordance with the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and Conditions. The scrip dividend alternative involves the issuance of relevant new ordinary shares on the Hong Kong line only. To participate in the scrip dividend alternative, shareholders must have held a minimum of 175 ordinary shares on the record date for the Dividend (5 September 2025).

 

Prudential announces that 2,175,535 ordinary shares of 5 pence each will be issued in connection with the scrip dividend alternative (the "Shares"). When issued, these Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares. 704,332 of the Shares will be sold pursuant to the share dealing facility which Prudential has made available 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). Further announcements will be made in due course in respect of the listing and admission of the Shares.

 

Consistent with the Board's policy on scrip and staff incentive scheme share issuances, it is intended that any minor dilution for shareholders resulting from the scrip issuance will be neutralised through the on-market buyback of shares on the London Stock Exchange.

 

Further details can be found in the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and Conditions available on Prudential's website at www.prudentialplc.com/en/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/scrip-dividend.
