The Company communicates with UK shareholders by means of our website. The Annual Report and Notice of the Annual General Meeting can be accessed directly on the Company's website: https://www.prudentialplc.com/investors/reports/2019

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

Hard copies of shareholder communications can be requested by calling the Company's registrar, Equiniti Limited ('Equiniti') on 0371 384 2035 and Textel 0371 384 2255 (for hard of hearing).

Electronic proxy appointment

In those countries where the company is made available, a proxy must be appointed electronically.

An electronic proxy appointment may be made by logging on to Equiniti's website www.sharevote.co.uk

Shareholders will need their name, Task ID and shareholder reference, to meet 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 CREST specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions as set out in the CREST manual. 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 R419) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments.

Completion of Form of Proxy

5 If you want your proxy to vote in a certain way on the resolutions specified please place a mark in the relevant boxes. If you select 'Discretionary' or fail to select any of the given options your proxy may vote as he or she chooses or may decide not to vote at all. The proxy can also do this on any additional or amended resolution that is put to the Meeting.

6 The 'Vote withheld' option is provided to enable you to explain on any particular resolution. However it should be noted that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of the votes 'For' and 'Against' a resolution.

7 If your proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).

For this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the register.'
