Notice of availability

The Company communicates with UK shareholders by means of our website. The Circular and Notice of the General Meeting can be accessed directly on the Company's website: www.prudentialplc. com/investors/shareholder-information/ demerger-transaction-documents

Using website communications will be of benefit to those shareholders who do not wish to be burdened with long documents, and to the Company, as it represents a considerable saving in printing and distribution costs. In addition, reducing unnecessary printing will benefit the environment. If you wish to change your instructions to receive future notifications by email rather than post, you can register at www.shareview.co.uk.

Electronic proxy appointment

For shareholders on the UK register, an electronic proxy appointment may be made by logging on to Equiniti's website at www.sharevote.co.uk. Shareholders will need their Voting ID, Task ID and shareholder reference number, the three sets of numbers printed at the top of the Form of Proxy. Full details of the procedures are given on the website. Alternatively, if you have already registered with Equiniti's online portfolio service Shareview, you can submit your proxy by logging on to your portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk using your user ID and password. Once logged in simply click "View" on the "My Investments" page, click on the link to vote then follow the on screen instructions.

Electronic voting through CREST

If you are a CREST member, you may use the CREST electronic proxy appointment service. The CREST Proxy Instruction must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions as set out in the CREST manual (available via www.euroclear.com). The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or 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 our agent (ID RA19) by 9.30 a.m. UK time on 11 October 2019, the latest time for receipt of proxy appointments.

Important

Whichever method you choose, instructions or Form of Proxy must be received by the relevant registrar no later than 9.30 a.m. UK time on 11 October 2019 or 4.30 p.m. Hong Kong/Singapore time on 12 October 2019. Please note that any instruction sent in electronic form found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.

If you submit more than one valid proxy appointment, the appointment received last before the latest time for the receipt of proxies will take precedence.

Further details are included in the Notice of General Meeting.

This form is for use by shareholders who hold Prudential shares listed on the London or Hong Kong Stock Exchanges.
