Statement to M&G plc (no. 11444019) on ceasing to hold office as auditors pursuant to section 519 of the Companies Act 2006

The reason connected with our ceasing to hold office is the holding of a competitive tender for the audit, in which we were not invited to participate due to upcoming mandatory auditor rotation requirements.

Yours faithfully,

KPMG LLP Audit registration number: 9188307 Audit registration address: 15 Canada Square Canary Wharf, London E14 5GL
