2024 FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND
Prudential plc ("Prudential") has today announced its 2024 first
interim dividend of 6.84 US cents per ordinary share.
Shareholders holding shares on the UK or Hong Kong share registers
will receive their dividend payments in either pounds sterling or
Hong Kong dollars respectively, unless they elect to receive
dividend payments in US dollars. Elections for US dollar payments
must be made through the relevant UK or Hong Kong share
registrar on or before 30 September 2024. Further information is available at
https://www.prudentialplc.com/en/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/dividend-currency-election
The corresponding amount per share in pounds sterling and Hong Kong
dollars is expected to be announced on or around 9 October 2024.
The US dollar to pound sterling and to Hong Kong dollar conversion
rates will be determined by the actual rates achieved by Prudential
buying those currencies.
Holders of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") will receive their
dividend payments in US dollars through JPMorgan, the ADR
Depositary.
Shareholders holding an interest in Prudential shares through The
Central Depository (Pte) Limited ("CDP") in Singapore will receive
their dividend payments in Singapore dollars, at the prevailing
market rate.
All shares bought back by Prudential awaiting cancellation on the
Record Date are not eligible for the 2024 first interim
dividend.
A dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) will continue to be offered to
shareholders on the UK register. The DRIP enables the relevant
shareholders to elect to invest their cash dividends in the
purchase of Prudential shares in the market. Further information is
available at
https://www.prudentialplc.com/en/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/dividend-reinvestment-plan
The Group continues to explore the use of scrip dividends,
including issuance only on the Hong Kong line and the dilutive
effect being neutralised by a share buy back on the London
line. If a scrip dividend alternative is to be offered in
respect of the 2024 first interim dividend, the Group will make an
announcement to that effect on or before 4 September 2024 (in the
absence of such announcement, no scrip dividend alternative is to
be offered in respect of the 2024 first interim
dividend).
