Evergreen scrip dividend scheme
The Company will be offering an evergreen scrip dividend scheme in respect of the final dividend for the year ending 31 December 2007. 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 (11 April 2008) 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 9 April 2008.
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 are available on the Company website at http://www.prudential.co.uk/prudential-plc/investors/shareholder_services/
Electronic communications
Shareholders are encouraged to elect to receive shareholder documents electronically by registering with Shareview at http://www.shareview.co.uk This will save on printing and distribution costs, creating environmental benefits. When you register, you will be sent an email notification to say when shareholder documents are available on our website and you will be provided with a link to that information. When registering, you will need your shareholder reference number which can be found on your share certificate or proxy form. Please contact Equiniti if you require any assistance or further information.
