Prudential plc (PRU) has confirmed the key parameters for its scrip dividend alternative related to the 2025 second interim dividend of 18.89 US cents per ordinary share.
The Scrip Reference Price, calculated as the average middle-market price on the London Stock Exchange over the five trading days starting 26 March 2026 and converted at the 11:00 a.m. WMR USD/GBP rate on 1 April 2026, is US$13.834482 per new ordinary share.
To elect for new shares instead of cash, shareholders must have held at least 74 ordinary shares on the 27 March 2026 record date. This threshold equals the Scrip Reference Price divided by the dividend per share, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The scrip option is offered under Prudential’s Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and Conditions. Ex-dividend trading began on 26 March 2026.
Prudential maintains dual primary listings in Hong Kong and London and secondary listings in Singapore and the United States. The board continues to be led by Chair Shriti Vadera and CEO Anil Wadhwani.
