RNS Number : 3998B  Prudential PLC  30 September 2025

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.

Conditions available on Prudential's website at
