Re-election of Directors
Explanatory notes
In accordance with Provision 18 of the UK Corporate Governance Code, all Directors other than those retiring at the conclusion of the Meeting will offer themselves for re-election.
All Directors in office during 2024 were subject to a formal and rigorous performance evaluation. The Board considers that each of the Directors continues to discharge their duties and responsibilities effectively, demonstrates commitment to their role, and continues to make a strong contribution to the work of the Board and to the long-term sustainable success of the Company. Each Director brings valuable skills and experience to the Board and its Committees, and their individual contribution to Prudential is detailed in their biographies. The Board has determined that each Non-executive Director (with the exception of the Chair, whose independence is only assessed on appointment) continues to be independent and that there are no circumstances likely to impair their judgement in relation to Prudential Board matters.
When considering the independence of the Non-executive Directors, the Board took into account that both Jeremy Anderson and Jeanette Wong serve as non-executive directors of UBS Group AG and that Chua Sock Koong and Jeanette Wong serve as members of the Singapore Securities Industry Council. The Board has determined that these relationships do not affect the independence of those Non-executive Directors. Based on their contributions to Board discussions to date, the Board is confident that they can be expected to continue to demonstrate objectivity and independence of judgement.
Each independent Non-executive Director has confirmed their independence under the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
The Board, supported by the work carried out by the Nomination & Governance Committee, is actively engaged in an ongoing cycle of succession planning to support the Company's strategic objectives and is satisfied that it continues to maintain an appropriate level of diversity and balance of skills and experience. All Directors standing for re-election are recommended by the Nomination & Governance Committee. More detailed information about the activities of the Nomination & Governance Committee in 2024 can be found in the 2024 Annual Report.
The Board recommends that shareholders approve the re-election of all Directors standing for re-election.

Political donations
Resolution 16.
That the Company, and all companies that are its subsidiaries at any time during the period for which this resolution is effective, be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorised for the purposes of Sections 366 and 367 of the Companies Act 2006 (the '2006 Act'), in aggregate, to:
(i) make political donations to political parties and/or independent election candidates not exceeding £50,000 in total;
(ii) make political donations to political organisations other than political parties not exceeding £50,000 in total; and
(iii) incur political expenditure not exceeding £50,000 in total,
(as such terms are defined in Sections 363 to 365 of the 2006 Act) provided that the aggregate of such donations and expenditure shall not exceed £50,000 during the period beginning with the date of passing this resolution and expiring at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026, unless such authority has been previously renewed, revoked or varied by the Company at a general meeting. The Company may enter into a contract or undertaking under this authority prior to its expiry, which contract or undertaking may be performed wholly or partly after such expiry, and may make donations to political organisations other than political parties and incur political expenditure in pursuance of such contracts or undertakings as if the said authority had not expired.
Explanatory notes
The 2006 Act restricts companies from making donations to political parties, other political organisations or independent election candidates and from incurring political expenditure without shareholders' consent.
Prudential has a clear policy not to make political donations (no political donations were made in the year ended 31 December 2024).
However, although the Company intends to continue to adhere to its policy of not making donations to political parties or to independent
election candidates (and will not do so without the specific endorsement of its shareholders) the broad definitions used in the 2006 Act make it possible for normal business activities of the Company, which might not be thought of as political expenditure or donations to political organisations in the usual sense, to be caught. The Company does not believe there is a material risk of it inadvertently making such donations.
In accordance with established best practice, it is the Company's intention to seek renewal of this resolution on an annual basis.
Renewal of authority to allot ordinary shares
Resolution 17.
That the Directors be and are hereby authorised, generally and unconditionally, pursuant to Section 551 of the 2006 Act, to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot shares in the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares in the Company for a period expiring at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 (save that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements under this authority prior to its expiry which would, or might, require shares to be allotted or rights to subscribe for or to convert securities into shares to be granted after such expiry, and the Board may allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for or to convert securities into shares under any such offer or agreement as if the said authority had not expired) and for a maximum aggregate nominal amount of:
A. £26,266,870 (such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph (B) or (C) of this resolution 17 so that in total no more than £43,734,338 can be allotted under paragraphs (A) and (B) of this resolution 17, and no more than £87,468,677 can be allotted under paragraphs (A), (B) and (C));

Explanatory notes
At last year's Annual General Meeting, shareholders renewed a resolution giving the Directors authority to allot ordinary shares or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in the Company (referred to collectively as Allotments). That authority will expire at the conclusion of this year's Meeting. Accordingly, the Notice includes a resolution to renew this authority and to extend the authority to make Allotments in connection with rights issues as further described below.
The Company has no present plans to undertake a rights issue or to issue new shares (or grant options over such new shares) other than in connection with its employee and agent share plans. The Company may also issue new shares pursuant to any scrip dividend alternative offered by the Directors in respect of any dividend. This authority will give the Directors the flexibility permitted by the HKLR and corporate governance guidelines to issue shares where they believe it is for the benefit of shareholders to do so. This authority complies with UK institutional investment guidelines and will expire at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting.
This resolution needs to comply with the requirements of the HKLR as a result of the Company's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ('HKSE'). As a consequence, paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of resolution 17 relate to different tranches of the Company's issued ordinary share capital which, when taken together, cover an aggregate nominal amount equal to £87,468,677 representing approximately 1,749,373,550 ordinary shares. This amount is approximately 66.6 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 18 March 2025, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice, which is also in line with guidance issued by the Investment Association.
To protect shareholders' interests and minimise any dilutive effects arising from the non-pre-emptive issue of shares, the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of resolution 17, will cover an aggregate nominal amount equal to £87,468,677 representing approximately 1,749,373,550 ordinary shares (the 'Allotment Limit'). The Allotment Limit is equal to approximately 66.6 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 18 March 2025, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.
Paragraph (A) of resolution 17 authorises the Directors to make Allotments of an aggregate nominal amount equal to £26,266,870 (representing approximately 525,337,402 ordinary shares in the Company). This amount, which is the maximum proportion of share capital Directors may allot without pre-emption under the HKLR, represents approximately 20 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 18 March 2025. This authority will be reduced by the amount of any allotments or grants
made under paragraphs (B) and (C) of resolution 17, to ensure that the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A) and (B) does not exceed one-third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company and that the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of resolution 17 does not exceed the Allotment Limit.
Paragraph (B) of resolution 17 authorises the Directors to make Allotments of an aggregate nominal amount equal to £43,734,338 (representing approximately 874,686,775 ordinary shares in the Company) in connection with offers to ordinary shareholders or holders of other equity securities. This amount exceeds the 20 per cent authority in paragraph (A) of resolution 17 by approximately 13 percentage points, which is in line with guidance issued by the Investment Association.
This authority will be reduced by the amount of any allotments or grants made under paragraphs (A) and (C) of resolution 17 to ensure that the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A) and (B) of resolution 17 does not exceed one-third of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company and that the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of resolution 17 does not exceed the Allotment Limit. The HKLR does not permit the Directors to allot, on a non-preemptive basis, shares or rights to shares that would represent more than 20 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at the date on which the resolution granting them a general authority to allot is passed. Accordingly, paragraph (A) of resolution 17 restricts the authority of the Directors to the 20 per cent threshold.
Paragraph (C) of resolution 17 authorises the Directors to make Allotments of an aggregate nominal amount equal to £87,468,677 (representing approximately 1,749,373,550 ordinary shares in the Company) in connection with only a rights issue to ordinary shareholders or holders of other equity securities. This authority will be reduced by the amount of any allotments or grants made under paragraphs (A) and (B) of resolution 17 to ensure that the total amount of Allotments which may be made under paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) of resolution 17 does not exceed the Allotment Limit. This amount exceeds the 20 per cent authority in paragraph (A) of resolution 17 by approximately 46 percentage points, which is in line with guidance issued by the Investment Association.
The Directors are aware of the latest Investment Association Share Capital Management Guidelines published in February 2023, which update the previous guidance to incorporate all fully pre-emptive offers, not just fully pre-emptive rights issues, in respect of the authority to allot a further (one-third) of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company. The Directors have decided that they will limit Paragraph (C) of the allotment authority to rights issues this year, which reflects the terms of a waiver to Rule 7.19A(1) of the HKLR granted by the HKSE (as further described below in this Explanatory Note). The Directors consider the current limitation to rights issues provides sufficient flexibility to the Company for present purposes.
Under Rule 7.19A(1) of the HKLR, if a proposed rights issue would increase either the number of issued shares or the market capitalisation of the Company by more than 50 per cent (on its own or when aggregated with any other rights issues or open offers announced within the previous 12 months or prior to such 12-month period where dealing in respect of the shares issued pursuant thereto commenced within such 12-month period), then the issue must be made conditional on approval by minority shareholders in a general meeting by a resolution on which the directors (excluding independent non-executive directors) and their associates must abstain from voting.
However, the HKSE has granted a waiver to the Company on 4 May 2010 from strict compliance with the above requirements in order to
place the Company on an equal footing with other UK listed companies. The waiver has been granted on the basis that:
A. the directors (excluding independent Non-executive Directors) and their associates would abstain from voting on the relevant resolution in their capacity as shareholders at the Meeting; and
B. if the Company were to do a further rights issue, the Company would not need to obtain further minority shareholder approval under Rule 7.19A(1) of the HKLR provided that:
i. the market capitalisation of the Company will not increase by more than 50 per cent as a result of the proposed rights issue; and
ii. the votes of any new Directors appointed to the Board since the Meeting would not have made a difference to the outcome of the relevant resolution at the relevant Meeting if they had been shareholders at the time and they had in fact abstained from voting.
Paragraph (D) of resolution 17 seeks authority from shareholders under the HKLR for the Directors to make Allotments pursuant to the Company's share schemes or those of its subsidiary undertakings. The Directors intend to use the authorities sought under paragraph (C) of resolution 17 following the exercise of options and awards under the Company's share schemes adopted prior to or on the date of the Meeting.
Extension of authority to allot ordinary shares to include repurchased shares
Resolution 18.
That the authority granted to the Directors to allot shares (including selling ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares) and to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares up to a total nominal value of £26,266,870 pursuant to paragraph (A) of resolution 17 set out above be extended by the addition of such number of ordinary shares of five pence each representing the nominal amount of the Company's share capital repurchased by the Company under the authority granted pursuant to resolution 21 set out below, to the extent that such extension would not result in the authority to allot shares (and to sell treasury shares) or grant rights to subscribe for or convert securities into shares pursuant to resolution 17 exceeding £87,468,677.
Explanatory notes
As permitted by the HKLR, resolution 18 seeks to extend the Directors' authority to allot shares (and to sell treasury shares) and grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares pursuant to paragraph (A) of resolution 17 to include any shares repurchased by the Company under the authority to be sought by resolution 21.
Renewal of authority for disapplication of pre-emption rights
Resolution 19.
That if resolutions 17 and/or 18 are passed the Directors be and are hereby authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the 2006 Act) for cash pursuant to the power conferred on the Directors by resolutions 17 and/or 18 and/or to sell any ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if Section 561 of that Act did not apply to such
allotment or sale for a period expiring at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 (save that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements under this authority prior to its expiry which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (or treasury shares to be sold) after such expiry, and the Board may allot equity securities (or sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the said authority had not expired), such authority to be limited:
A. to the allotment of equity securities and sale of treasury shares in connection with an offer of, or an invitation to apply for, equity securities in accordance with paragraphs (B) and (C) of resolution 17 above; and
B. otherwise than under paragraph (A) above, in the case of any allotment of equity securities and sale of treasury shares the maximum aggregate nominal amount of equity securities that may be allotted or sold pursuant to this authority under the authority conferred on the Directors by paragraph (A) of resolution 17 and/or 18 and/or a sale of ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash is £6,566,717.
Explanatory notes
At last year's Annual General Meeting, shareholders passed a special resolution giving the Directors authority to allot equity securities for cash without first being required to offer such securities to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings, by the limited disapplication of Section 561 of the 2006 Act. That power will expire at the conclusion of this year's Meeting. Accordingly, the Notice includes a special resolution to renew this authority. This authority only extends (apart from pre-emptive issues) to the issue of equity securities, including the sale of any ordinary shares held in treasury in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6 of Part 18 of the 2006 Act. As at 18 March 2025 the Company held no treasury shares.
The authority is sought for a maximum nominal value of £6,566,717 representing approximately 131,334,350 ordinary shares in the Company, which is approximately 5 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 18 March 2025. As regards rights issues and other pre-emptive issues, the Directors believe the mechanics and delay of the procedure under Section 561 are unduly restrictive and are therefore also seeking continuation of its disapplication in these circumstances.
Annual renewal of this authority is sought in line with the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights published by the Pre-Emption Group in 2022 (the 'Statement of Principles 2022'). In respect of the authorities sought under resolutions 19 and 20, the Directors acknowledge the provisions of the Statement of Principles 2022 and the revised guidelines on share capital management issued by UK's Investment Association which include an increase in the disapplication of pre-emption rights limits. However, at this time, the Directors consider it appropriate to retain the previous limits of 5 per cent of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company in resolutions 19 and 20 and have not adopted the increased limits of 10 per cent set out in the Statement of Principles 2022, nor do the resolutions specifically provide for follow-on offers. The Directors will keep emerging market practice under review but consider that the limits of 5 per cent provide sufficient flexibility to the Company for present purposes. While there are no current plans to make use of the authority granted in resolutions 19 and 20, if the powers are used in relation to a non-pre-emptive offer, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles 2022. While the resolutions do not specifically provide for follow-on offers, where relevant, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles 2022. This renewed authority complies with UK institutional
Prudential plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025
investment guidelines and will expire at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Additional authority for disapplication of pre-emption rights for purposes of acquisitions or specified capital investments
Resolution 20.
That if resolutions 17 and 18 are passed the Directors be and are hereby authorised in addition to any authority granted under resolution 18 to allot equity securities (as defined in Section 560(1) of the 2006 Act) for cash pursuant to the power conferred on the Directors by resolutions 17 and/or 18 and/or to sell any ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if Section 561 of that Act did not apply to such allotment or sale for a period expiring at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 (save that the Company may make offers and enter into agreements under this authority prior to its expiry which would, or might, require equity securities to be allotted (or treasury shares to be sold) after such expiry, and the Board may allot equity securities (or sell treasury shares) under any such offer or agreement as if the said authority had not expired), such authority to be:
A. limited to the allotment of equity securities and sale of treasury shares up to a nominal amount of £6,566,717; and
B. used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the authority is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Board determines to be either an acquisition or a specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles 2022.
Explanatory notes
In line with the guidance in the Statement of Principles 2022, resolution 20 requests shareholder approval, by way of a separate special resolution, for the Directors to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash in connection with acquisitions or capital investments without first being required to offer such securities to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings, in addition to the general authority to disapply pre-emption rights sought under resolution 19. In accordance with the Statement of Principles 2022, the Directors confirm that this authority will only be used in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment that is announced contemporaneously with the issue, or that has taken place in the preceding 12-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue. This authority only extends to the issue of equity securities, including the sale of any ordinary shares held in treasury in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 6 of Part 18 of the 2006 Act. As at 18 March 2025 the Company held no treasury shares.
The authority is sought for a maximum nominal value of £6,566,717 representing approximately 131,334,350 ordinary shares in the Company, which is approximately 5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 18 March 2025, the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice.
While the Directors have no present intention of exercising this specific authority to disapply pre-emption rights, the Directors consider that the authority sought at this year's Meeting will benefit the Company and its shareholders generally since there may be occasions in the future when the Directors need the flexibility to finance acquisitions or capital investments by issuing shares for cash without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders.
Renewal of authority for purchase of own shares
Resolution 21.
That the Company be and is hereby generally and unconditionally authorised, in accordance with Section 701 of the 2006 Act, to make one or more market purchases (within the meaning of Section 693(4) of the 2006 Act) of its ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, provided that:
A. Such authority be limited:
i. to a maximum aggregate number of 262,668,701 ordinary shares;
ii. by the condition that the minimum price which may be paid for each ordinary share is five pence and the maximum price which may be paid for an ordinary share is the highest of:
a. an amount equal to 105 per cent of the average of the middle market quotations for an ordinary share as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the share is contracted to be purchased; and
b. the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out,
in each case exclusive of expenses;
B. Such authority shall, unless renewed, varied or revoked prior to such time, expire at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2026, save that the Company may before such expiry make a contract or contracts to purchase ordinary shares under the authority hereby conferred which would or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority and may make a purchase of ordinary shares in pursuance of any such contract or contracts as if the power conferred hereby had not expired; and
C. All ordinary shares purchased pursuant to said authority shall be either:
i. cancelled immediately upon completion of the purchase; or
ii. held, sold, transferred or otherwise dealt with as treasury shares in accordance with the provisions of the 2006 Act.
Explanatory notes
The Directors consider that there are circumstances in which it is desirable for the Company to purchase its own shares in the market. The Directors believe that it is an important part of the financial management of the Company to have the flexibility to repurchase issued shares in order to manage its capital base. The Company only seeks to purchase shares where the Directors believe this would be in the best interests of shareholders generally, which may include, for example, to return capital to shareholders, or to manage share dilution from the vesting of awards under its employee and agent share plans or the take-up of any scrip dividend option. The authority will only be used after careful consideration, taking into account market conditions prevailing at the time, other investment and financing opportunities and the overall financial position of the Company, as well as other relevant factors and circumstances at that
Prudential plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025
time, for example the effect on earnings per share. No purchases of shares would be conducted on the HKSE.
Accordingly, this resolution is proposed to authorise the Company to make market purchases of its ordinary shares up to a maximum nominal value of £13,133,435, representing 262,668,701 ordinary shares which is approximately 10 per cent of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 18 March 2025, at prices not lower than five pence per ordinary share and not exceeding the highest of (i) 105 per cent of the average middle-market value of an ordinary share for the five business days preceding the date of purchase and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the trading venues where the purchase is carried out.
Resolution 21 renews the authority for the Company to purchase its own shares granted by shareholders at last year's Annual General Meeting. On 23 June 2024, the Company announced the launch of a share buyback programme to return USD 2 billion to shareholders (the '2024/25 Buyback Programme'). On 15 November 2024, the Company announced the completion of the first tranche of the 2024/25 Buyback Programme with the repurchase of 81,403,648 ordinary shares for c. USD 700 million. On 5 December 2024, the Company announced the commencement of the second tranche of the 2024/25 Buyback Programme for c. USD 800 million, which is currently ongoing. Any additional tranches of the 2024/25 Buyback Programme commencing between the date of the Meeting and the 2026 Annual General Meeting will be conducted in accordance with any authority granted pursuant to this resolution 21.
The Company may retain any shares it purchases as treasury shares with a view to possible reissue at a future date or may cancel the shares. If the Company were to purchase any of its own ordinary shares, it would consider holding them as treasury shares pursuant to the authority conferred by this resolution. This would enable the Company to reissue such shares quickly and cost-effectively and would provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. This authority will expire at the earlier of 30 June 2026 and the conclusion of the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The Company has options and awards outstanding over 3,182,842 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.12 per cent of the Company's ordinary issued share capital as at 18 March 2025 (the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice). If the existing authority given at the 2024 Annual General Meeting and the authority sought by this resolution 21 were to be fully used these outstanding options and awards would represent 0.15 per cent of the Company's ordinary issued share capital at that date.
Resolution 22.
That a general meeting other than an Annual General Meeting may be called on not less than 14 clear days' notice.
Explanatory notes
Under the 2006 Act, the notice period required for general meetings of the Company is 21 clear days unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period (which cannot however be less than 14 clear days). Annual General Meetings are still required to be held on at least 21 'clear days' notice. Approval for a shorter notice period was sought and received from shareholders at the last Annual General Meeting and to preserve this ability, this resolution 22 seeks renewal of the approval for a notice period of 14 days to apply to general meetings. The shorter notice period will not be used as a matter of routine, but only where flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. If used, an electronic voting facility will be provided.
Annual General Meetings will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.
The approval will be effective until the earlier of 30 June 2026 or the conclusion of the Company's 2026 Annual General Meeting when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed.

The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraphs 1 to 4 above does not apply to nominated persons. The rights described in these paragraphs can only be exercised by registered shareholders of the Company. If you hold your shares via a bank or broker, please contact your bank or broker directly for information on how to vote.
-
CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
-
In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual (available via www.euroclear.com). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RA50) by 9.30am London time on 12 May 2025. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time, any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
-
CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors, or voting service providers should note that Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular message. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member, or sponsored member, or has appointed a voting service provider, to procure that his/her CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure
Prudential plc Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025
that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting system providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.
-
The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
-
In the case of joint holders, where more than one of the joint holders purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder will be accepted. Seniority is determined by the order in which the names of the joint holders appear in the Company's register of members in respect of the joint holding (the first-named being the most senior).
Appointing corporate representatives
- Any corporation which is a member may appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.
Entitlement to attend, vote and ask questions at the Meeting
-
To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes they may cast), shareholders must be registered on the Company's main UK share register or Hong Kong branch register as at 6.30pm London time on 12 May 2025 (4.30pm Hong Kong time on 12 May 2025) (or, in the event of any adjournment, 6.30pm London time, two business days prior to the adjourned meeting). Any person holding an interest in shares through CDP must be registered on CDP's register as at 5.00pm Singapore time on 2 May 2025 (or in the event of an adjournment 5.00pm Singapore time nine days prior to the adjourned meeting). The earlier CDP deadline is to allow sufficient time for a person holding an interest in shares through CDP to obtain authorisation to act as a proxy or representative of HKSCC Nominees Limited, in whose name the shares are registered, at the Meeting. Changes to the Company's share registers after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote at the Meeting.
-
Any member or their proxy attending the Meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must provide an answer to any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the Meeting save that no such answer need be given if:
i. to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the Meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information;
ii. the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or
iii. it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the Meeting that the question be answered.
-
The Company will continue its practice of calling a poll on all resolutions at the Meeting. The voting results, which will include all votes cast for and against each resolution at the Meeting, and all proxies lodged prior to the Meeting, which will include votes cast for and against each resolution, will be published on the Company's website as soon as practicable after the Meeting. The Company will also disclose the number of votes withheld. This practice ensures all votes cast either at the Meeting or through proxies are included in the result.
-
Members or their proxies/corporate representatives wishing to attend the Meeting in person will be asked for photo ID on arrival.
Security
- We do not permit behaviour that may interfere with anyone's security, comfort, safety or the good order of the Meeting and any such behaviour will be dealt with appropriately by the Chair of the AGM. Anyone who does not comply may be removed from the meeting. To ensure the safety of all shareholders and attendees, security checks may be carried out on entry to the venue of the Meeting. The use of cameras and recording equipment are not permitted during the Meeting. Mobile phones and other electronic communication devices should be switched to silent mode.

If the Company chooses to adjourn or change the time and / or place of the Meeting, it will publish an announcement on its website at www.prudentialplc.com and the HKEX news website at www.hkexnews.hk to notify the shareholders of the date, time and place of the adjourned or postponed Meeting.
If you wish to appoint a proxy other than the Chair and your proxy would like to attend the Meeting electronically, please contact the registrar to make the necessary arrangements in advance of the Meeting. The deadline for registration is 3.30 pm Hong Kong time (8.30am London time) on 14 May 2025. Corporate representatives also need to pre-register to attend the Meeting electronically.
