*Special
resolution
The full text of Resolutions 16 to 24 (inclusive) is set out in the
Notice of Annual General Meeting and explanation of business dated
22 April 2024.
As at 6.30pm UK time/ 4.30pm Hong Kong/Singapore time on 21 May
2024, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,750,427,994
ordinary shares, which was the total number of shares entitling the
holders to attend and vote for or against all of the resolutions at
the AGM. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association,
on a poll every member present in person or by proxy has one vote
for every share held.
There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on any of
the resolutions proposed at the AGM, save for the Directors
(excluding independent non-executive directors) and their
respective associates who were required to abstain, and have
abstained from voting on Resolution 17 which affected a total of
281,442 voting rights. Votes withheld are not votes in law and
therefore have not been counted in the calculation of the
proportion of the votes for and against a resolution. Proxy
appointments which gave discretion to the Chair have been included
in the total of votes 'for' the respective resolutions. The
scrutineer of the poll was Equiniti Financial Services Limited, the
Company's UK Share Registrar.
All Directors of the Company attended the AGM in person except
Claudia Suessmuth Dyckerhoff, who joined the AGM
electronically.
As announced on 25 January 2024, David Law did not stand for
re-election as a Non-executive Director of Prudential plc and
retired from the Board with effect from the conclusion of today's
AGM. Shriti Vadera joined the Remuneration Committee from the
conclusion of the AGM.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Rules, a copy of
all resolutions, other than those concerning ordinary business,
passed at the AGM on 23 May 2024, will shortly be available to view
on the National Storage Mechanism at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
