2024 SECOND INTERIM DIVIDEND
On 20 March 2025 Hong Kong/Singapore time, Prudential plc
("Prudential") announced
a 2024 second interim dividend of 16.29 US cents per ordinary share
and a
scrip dividend alternative in respect of the dividend, offered in
accordance with the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and
Conditions. The
scrip dividend alternative involves the issuance of relevant new
ordinary shares on the Hong Kong line only.
Shareholders holding shares on the UK and Hong Kong registers were
able to elect to receive their dividend payment in US dollars by 22
April 2025.
UK register
Shareholders holding shares on the UK register who have elected to
receive the dividend in cash and have not elected to receive their
dividend payment in US dollars will receive the dividend payment in
pounds sterling and their dividend will be converted from US
dollars to pounds sterling at the rate of one US dollar to 0.752106
pounds sterling.
Accordingly, the amount of sterling payable in cash on 14 May 2025
will be approximately: 12.251807 pence
per ordinary share.
Hong Kong branch register
Shareholders holding shares on the Hong Kong branch register who
have elected to receive the dividend in cash and have not elected
to receive their dividend payment in US dollars will receive the
dividend payment in Hong Kong dollars and their dividend will be
converted from US dollars to Hong Kong dollars at the rate of one
US dollar to 7.758350 Hong Kong dollars.
Accordingly, the amount of Hong Kong dollars payable in cash on 14
May 2025 will be approximately: 1.263835 Hong
Kong dollars per ordinary share.
UK and Hong Kong register shareholders who have elected to receive
new shares in respect of the dividend will receive the cash balance
in respect of fractional shares, if any, in pounds sterling or Hong
Kong dollars respectively, being converted from US dollars using
the above mentioned exchange rates. For UK register shareholders,
the cash balance will be paid at the same time as the distribution
of sale proceeds to the UK register shareholders participating in
the dealing facility, which is expected to take place within 14
Hong Kong trading days of the completion of the sale of the
relevant shares via the dealing facility. For Hong Kong register
shareholders, the cash balance will be paid on 14 May 2025. Further
details can be found in the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme
Terms and Conditions available at www.prudentialplc.com/en/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/scrip-dividend.
The US dollar to pound sterling and Hong Kong dollar conversion
rates set out above were determined by the actual rates achieved by
Prudential buying those currencies prior to the date of this
announcement.
