Director dealings: Prudential director makes share purchase

Prudential revealed on Tuesday that non-executive director Jeremy Anderson had acquired 9,157 ordinary shares in the FTSE 100-listed life insurance firm.

Anderson, who joined Prudential's board back in December 2019, purchased the shares on 9 April at an average price of 1,086p each, for a total value of £99,445.02.

On that same day, Prudential said that its executive directors would take a pay cut due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Executive directors will take a pay cut from 1 April - those who received a pay rise will see their salaries returned to the same level as of December 2019 - while pension benefits will drop to 13% of salary from 25% with effect from 14 May.

Meanwhile, the chief financial and chief operating officers' 2020 long-term incentive plan award will be maintained at 250%, rather than rising to 300% of salary.

As of 1635 BST, Prudential shares were down 1.77% at 1,028.50p.
