Prudential plc’s 79 per cent shareholding in Egg

On 14 January 2004, Prudential plc (“Prudential”) announced that it was in preliminary discussions regarding a possible transaction with respect to its approximately 79 per cent shareholding in Egg.

While these discussions have been continuing Prudential has received unsolicited indications of interest from a number of other parties and, with a view to delivering value for its shareholders, Prudential has now begun a process that will give a number of potential purchasers an opportunity to make a proposal. This may or may not lead to a transaction.
