Details of Managerial Share Transactions

The following executives received substantial numbers of Prudential plc shares at nil cost, reflecting the release of previously awarded share grants:

Implications for Shareholders

• Substantial share allocations to key executives are a strong signal of management alignment with shareholders, incentivizing long-term value creation.
• These transactions represent vested awards from prior incentive plans, not open-market purchases, meaning they do not directly impact liquidity or price in the short term, but are relevant for total share count and executive holdings.
• The nil consideration (free grants) may raise questions about potential dilution, especially as many awards have vested in a single day.
• Investors should monitor any further share-related disclosures, as such large awards could affect management’s future decision-making and signal confidence in the company’s outlook.
• This announcement is part of routine disclosures required of listed companies, but the cumulative size of the awards may be of interest, especially to institutional investors concerned about dilution and executive compensation.
