NEWS RELEASE
11 August 2021
Publication of Supplementary Circular
Following the announcement of the half-year interim results of
Prudential plc ("Prudential") for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 on
11 August 2021, the Group announces that a supplementary circular
(the " Supplementary Circular")
relating to the demerger of Jackson Financial Inc.
("Jackson") from Prudential (the "Demerger") has been published today and will shortly be
posted to Prudential's shareholders.
The Supplementary Circular relates solely to the half-year interim
results of Prudential and is supplementary to and must be read in
conjunction with the circular dated Friday 6 August 2021 (the
"Circular"), previously sent to Shareholders and available
on Prudential's website (http://www.prudentialplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/jackson-demerger-transaction-documents).
The Supplementary Circular is now available on Prudential's
website (http://www.prudentialplc.com/investors/shareholder-information/jackson-demerger-transaction-documents).
A copy of the Supplementary Circular has been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for
viewing at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
It remains the case that a general meeting relating to the Demerger
will be held at Nomura, 1 Angel Lane, London EC4R 3AB at
10.00am London time (5.00pm Hong Kong / Singapore time) on Friday
27 August 2021. Further details are set out in the Circular
and the notice of general meeting contained within
it.
Subject to shareholder approval, it is expected that
"when-issued"1 trading
of the Jackson shares on the New York Stock Exchange will commence
on Wednesday 1 September 2021, the Demerger will complete on Monday
13 September 2021, and that "regular way"2 trading
of the Jackson shares on the New York Stock Exchange will commence
on Monday 20 September 2021.
1 When-issued
trading in the context of the Demerger refers to, in the
period on or before the day on which the proposed in-specie
distribution of shares of Class A common stock in Jackson (the
"Jackson
Shares") to effect the Demerger
(the "Demerger
Dividend") is declared, trading
of Jackson Shares which is conditional on the proposed declaration
of the
Demerger Dividend, and in the period after the day
on which the Demerger Dividend is declared but before the
commencement of regular way trading, trading of Jackson Shares
which is unconditional but for settlement on a delayed
basis.
2 Regular-way trading
refers to trading after the security has been distributed and is
available for normal trade settlement. This typically means a trade
that settles on the second full trading day following the date of
the trade.
