Cash dividend

Dividend per share

Dividends are approved in US dollars and shareholders on the UK and Hong Kong registers will receive payments in pounds sterling or Hong Kong dollars respectively unless they elect to receive their payment in US dollars. The foreign exchange rate at which dividends declared in US dollars are to be converted into pounds sterling and Hong Kong dollars will be announced prior to the payment of the dividend. Further information about how to elect to receive payment in US dollars can be found at https://www.prudentialplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/dividend/dividend-currency-election

If you hold your shares in a securities account with The Central Depository (Pte.) Limited (CDP), the amount you receive in Singapore dollars will be calculated at an exchange rate as determined by CDP.

If you hold American Depositary Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange, you will receive your dividends in dollars. One American Depositary Receipt represents 2 ordinary shares and therefore the dividend per share is multiplied by 2.
