2026 FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND
On 27 August 2026, Prudential plc (“Prudential”) announced a 2026 first interim dividend
of 8.88 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 2
October 2026.
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 0.757943
pounds sterling.
Accordingly, the amount of sterling payable in cash on 22 October
2026 will be approximately: 6.730534 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 7.847670 Hong Kong dollars.
Accordingly, the amount of Hong Kong dollars payable in cash on 22
October 2026 will be approximately: 0.696873 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 22 October
2026.
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.
