Following our announcement on 28 August 2024 of a 2024 first

meeting.</font></div>

The scrip dividend alternative will involve the issuance of
relevant new ordinary shares on the Hong Kong line only. Prudential
plc ("Prudential") will make available a share dealing facility
(the "Dealing Facility") to enable shareholders who are not able to
hold their shares on the Hong Kong line to participate in the scrip
dividend alternative. Full particulars of the scrip dividend and
the Dealing Facility are expected to be provided to shareholders on
or around 13 September 2024 and the terms and conditions of the
scrip dividend scheme will subsequently also be made available on
Prudential's website. The scrip dividend alternative is conditional
upon the Financial Conduct Authority, the London Stock Exchange,
the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Singapore Stock Exchange
granting the listing of and permission to deal in the new shares to
be issued under the scrip dividend.</font></div>

The scrip dividend alternative is offered in addition to the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), which continues to be available
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 on
the DRIP is available at</font><font style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman">&#xA0;</font><font style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000FF">https://www.prudentialplc.com/en/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/dividend-reinvestment-plan</font></font></div>

On 10 September 2024, Prudential's registrar, Computershare
Investor Services PLC ("Computershare"), will distribute Electronic
Election Entitlements (EEEs) (Interim ISIN code GB00BSFVB225) for
ordinary shares to all holders of Prudential shares in CREST
("CREST Shareholders") on the dividend record date of Friday, 6
September 2024. To make an election, CREST Shareholders will be
required to transfer an appropriate number of entitlement shares
into a CREST member account via an Unmatched Stock Event ("USE")
transaction. There will be a separate account designated to each
option, and these details will be made available in the CREST
system.</font></div>

<font style="color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">
Elections via CREST should be received by Computershare no later
than 5.00pm (UK time) on 30 September 2024. If the USE is not
settled by such deadline, the dividend will be paid in cash in the
default currency. CREST Shareholders will need to ensure that their
election is made to the appropriate CREST Member Account as
detailed in the Corporate Action event that will be made available
in the CREST system by Euroclear UK &amp; International Limited
("Euroclear") against the Interim ISIN Code
GB00BSFVB225.</font></div>

An election via CREST will not apply in respect of future
dividends. Euroclear will centrally delete all existing dividend
election instruction messages previously submitted on Prudential
ordinary Shares, prior to the Record Date. Furthermore, it will not
be possible to submit dividend election instruction messages from
this date as this functionality will be removed in CREST from the
ordinary shares. Therefore, in order to avoid automatically
receiving the cash dividend in its default currency, elections will
need to be made via the Dividend with Options (DWO) for every
future dividend.</font></div>
