Prudential PLC is preparing to admit 10,916 ordinary shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange. This decision is significant as it is part of the company's scrip dividend alternative for the 2026 first interim dividend.
The admission date for these shares is expected to be October 22, 2026. Once issued, these shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares, highlighting Prudential's efforts to maintain equity among its shareholders.
In addition, Prudential has made available a share dealing facility to assist United Kingdom shareholders who wish to participate in the scrip dividend alternative but cannot provide an address in Hong Kong or details of a Hong Kong qualifying brokerage account. Of the total shares, 4,148 will be issued through this share dealing facility.
