GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS
SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Reference is made to the announcement of Prudential plc
("Prudential")
issued on 7 October 2024 regarding the grant of share options
under the Prudential International
Savings-Related Share Option Scheme for Non-Employees (the
"ISSOSNE") (the
"October
ISSOSNE Announcement"). As the October ISSOSNE
Announcement contained an inadvertent error relating to the
number of options granted, the Board wishes to clarify the correct
number of options granted by way of a supplemental announcement as
set out below.
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.06A of the Rules
Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong
Kong Limited (the "Listing
Rules").
Prudential announces that on 4 October 2024, options were granted
over a total of 511,813 new ordinary shares (the
"Options") to certain non-employees under the ISSOSNE
which was approved at the annual general meeting on 25 May 2023. A
summary is set out below:

participants

ISSOSNE is designed to incentivise and retain individuals, such as
insurance agents, who are not employees of Prudential or its
subsidiaries (the "Group") but who are closely connected with the Group.
The Board of Directors of Prudential is of the view that these
grants will ensure Prudential's long term interests are aligned and
the grantees will be motivated to contribute towards the Group's
development.

The
Options were granted to the following category of
grantees:
|
|
Number

|
|
Non-Employees

511,813
|
|
Total

None of the grantees of the Options is a director, chief executive
or substantial shareholder of Prudential, nor an associate (as
defined in the Listing Rules) of any of them.
As at the date of the October ISSOSNE Announcement and the date of
this announcement, the maximum number of shares available for
future grant under the scheme mandate of the above plans and any
other plans of Prudential is 207,048,378 and the service provider
sublimit of the above plan and any other plans of Prudential is
38,997,344.
Reference is also made to the other announcement made by Prudential
issued on 7 October 2024 regarding a certain grant of share options
under the Prudential Sharesave Plan 2023 (the "Sharesave")
(the "October
Sharesave Announcement"). Due to the
inadvertent oversight in the October ISSOSNE Announcement, the
October Sharesave Announcement misstated the maximum number of
shares available for future grant. The Board wishes to clarify
that, as at the date of the October Sharesave Announcement and the
date of this announcement, the maximum number of shares available
for future grant was 207,048,378 under the scheme mandate of the
Sharesave and any other plans of Prudential.
