The Company will be offering an evergreen scrip dividend scheme in respect of the final dividend for the year ending 31 December 2006. The number of new shares each participating shareholder will be entitled to, is calculated by dividing the total cash dividend due at the record date (13 April 2007) by the scrip reference price.
The scrip reference price is calculated as the average of the middle market quotations for the Company’s shares as derived from the Daily Official List of the London Stock Exchange for the five business days which commenced on 11 April 2007.
Once signed up to the evergreen scrip, shareholders will automatically receive shares for all future scrip dividends. This election can be cancelled at any time by the shareholder. Further details of the scrip dividend scheme was mailed to shareholders on 30 March 2007, and is also available on the Company website www.prudential.co.uk/prudential-plc/investors/.
The evergreen scrip is subject to shareholders’ approval, at the 2007 Annual General Meeting, of a resolution authorising directors to offer scrip dividend to shareholders until the 2012 Annual General Meeting (at which time such authorisation will need to be renewed) and a resolution amending the Articles of Association of the Company to accommodate the 'evergreen' nature of the evergreen scrip.
Under the new Companies Act 2006 provisions, the Company is notifying shareholders this year that they will no longer receive hard copies of the Annual Report, but will instead receive a notification by email/post that the Annual Report is available on the Company website www.prudential.co.uk/prudential-plc/investors/. The Company advises shareholders to register with Shareview (details below) in order to receive email notifications, therefore maximising the environmental benefits of this process. Shareholders can elect to receive hard copies of the Annual Report by completing the card attached to the Form of Proxy or by contacting Lloyds TSB Registrars on 0870 600 0190.

When you register, you will be sent an email notification to advise when shareholder documents are available on our website and you will be provided with a link to that information.
