The Company will be offering an evergreen scrip dividend scheme
in respect of the 2007 interim dividend. 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 (17 August
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 15 August 2007. The scrip
reference price will be displayed on the Company’s website on
22 August 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. The
evergreen scrip dividend mandate form and booklet can be found
on our website www.prudential.co.uk/prudential-plc/investors/ shareholder_services/forms/.
Shareholders are encouraged to elect to receive shareholder documents electronically by registering with Shareview at www.shareview.co.uk.
