Prudential repurchases shares for cancellation, reducing voting rights

Prudential plc purchased 275,012 of its ordinary shares of 5 pence each on November 13, 2025, from Merrill Lynch International. The shares were bought at an average price of £10.9434, with the lowest price paid per share being £10.8700 and the highest at £11.0800. These repurchases were executed as an on-exchange transaction via the London Stock Exchange, aligning with the company's 2025 Annual General Meeting authority.

The company intends to cancel these repurchased shares. Following this transaction, Prudential plc will have 2,558,363,221 shares in issue, which also represents the total number of voting rights. This figure is crucial for shareholders to determine their notification requirements under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. The buyback aligns with the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs for on-market purchases.

Prudential provides life and health insurance and asset management across Greater China, ASEAN, India, and Africa. The company holds dual primary listings on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and the London Stock Exchange, alongside secondary listings on the Singapore Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
