The Board continues to regard the AGM as an important opportunity to engage with shareholders and has therefore made the following arrangements:

   --    Shareholders are encouraged to send questions to the Board in advance of the AGM to secretariat@prudentialplc.com and, where appropriate, responses will be published at www.prudentialplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/agm/2020 by Thursday, 21 May 2020.

-- The results of the resolution votes will be announced on stock exchanges in London, Hong Kong and Singapore and published at www.prudentialplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/agm/2020 .

-- As shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM, a trading update will be published at 9.30am London time (3.30am Nashville, 4.30am New York and 4.30pm Hong Kong/ Singapore time) on Thursday, 14 May 2020 on www.prudentialplc.com and stock exchanges in London, Hong Kong and Singapore .
