OVERSEAS REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENT

STATEMENT FROM PRUDENTIAL

Prudential notes recent press speculation in relation to the Group.

Prudential regularly reviews its range of options to maximise the strategic flexibility of the Group. This includes consideration of optimising the Group's domicile, including as a possible response to an adverse outcome on Solvency II.

There continues to be uncertainty in relation to the implementation of Solvency II and implications for the Group's businesses. Clarity on this issue is not expected in the near term.
