The full text of the resolutions above is set out in the Notice of
General Meeting dated 25 September 2019.
As at 11 October 2019, the number of issued shares of Prudential
was 2,599,906,866 ordinary shares, which was the total number of
shares entitling the holders to attend and vote for or against the
resolutions. In accordance with Prudential's Articles of
Association, on a poll every member present in person or by proxy
has one vote for every share held.
There were no restrictions on shareholders to cast votes on either
of the resolutions proposed at the general meeting. Votes
withheld are not votes in law and therefore have not been counted

resolution. Equiniti was appointed as the scrutineer for
vote-taking at the general meeting.
Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.2 of the UK Listing Rules, copies of
the resolutions passed will shortly be available to view via the
