Prudential announces exchange rates for first interim dividend

LONDON - Prudential plc (LSE:PRU)(HKEX:2378) has established the exchange rates for its 2025 first interim dividend of 7.71 US cents per ordinary share, according to a company statement released Thursday.

Shareholders on the UK register who elected to receive their dividend in cash in pounds sterling will receive approximately 5.74 pence per share, based on a conversion rate of one US dollar to 0.744541 pounds sterling.

For Hong Kong branch register shareholders who opted for cash payment in Hong Kong dollars, the dividend will amount to approximately 0.60 Hong Kong dollars per share, using a conversion rate of one US dollar to 7.779780 Hong Kong dollars.

The payments will be distributed on October 16, 2025, to eligible shareholders. Those who elected to receive new shares through the company’s Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme will receive any cash balance for fractional shares in their respective local currencies.

The conversion rates were determined by the actual rates achieved by Prudential when purchasing these currencies prior to the announcement.

Prudential, which provides life and health insurance and asset management services across Asia and Africa, maintains dual primary listings on the Hong Kong and London stock exchanges, with secondary listings in Singapore and New York.

The company noted that further details about the dividend payment are available in the Evergreen Scrip Dividend Scheme Terms and Conditions on its corporate website.
