protect the health of Prudential's shareholders and employees, the
Board has decided, with regret, that shareholders will not be able
to attend the AGM in person. 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.

advance of the AGM and instruct the "Chairman of the Meeting" to
vote on their behalf . Further details are set out below.
-- 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

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,
