Prudential plc - Scrip Reference Price

On 28 August 2024, Prudential plc (" Prudential ") announced the declaration of a 2024 first interim dividend of 6.84 US cents per ordinary share (the " Dividend "). On 30 August 2024, Prudential further announced that a scrip dividend alternative would be offered in respect of the Dividend in accordance with the shareholder approval obtained at the 2024 annual general meeting.

In order to participate in the scrip dividend alternative, shareholders must have held a minimum of 118 ordinary shares on the applicable record date for the Dividend (6 September 2024 for United Kingdom and Singapore shareholders, or 9 September 2024 for Hong Kong shareholders). This number was calculated by dividing the Scrip Reference Price (as defined below) by the Dividend and then rounding it up to a whole share.

The Scrip Reference Price is the average middle-market price of Prudential's shares on the London Stock Exchange over a five-day dealing period commencing on the ex-dividend date for the Dividend (5 September 2024) and converted to US Dollars using the mid-point WMR spot exchange rates quoted by Bloomberg in London at or around 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday 11 September 2024 (the " Scrip Reference Price ").

The Scrip Reference Price for the issue of new shares under the scrip dividend alternative in respect of the Dividend is:

US$8.046366 for each new ordinary share

Full particulars of the scrip dividend alternative are expected to be provided to shareholders on or around 13 September 2024.
