GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS
SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Reference is made to the announcement of Prudential plc ("Prudential") issued on 7 October 2024 regarding the grant of share options under the Prudential International Savings-Related Share Option Scheme for Non-Employees (the "ISSOSNE") (the "October ISSOSNE Announcement"). As the October ISSOSNE Announcement contained an inadvertent error relating to the number of options granted, the Board wishes to clarify the correct number of options granted by way of a supplemental announcement as set out below.
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.06A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
Prudential announces that on 4 October 2024, options were granted over a total of 511,813 new ordinary shares (the "Options") to certain non-employees under the ISSOSNE which was approved at the annual general meeting on 25 May 2023. A summary is set out below:
Date of grant
| : | 4 October 2024
|
Number of Options granted
| : | 511,813
|
Exercise price of the Options granted | : | HKD 53.40 per share, representing not less than 80% of the market value of the shares
|
Closing price of the shares on the date of grant
| : | HKD 73.00 per share
|
Exercise period of the Options granted
| : | The Options are exercisable during the respective maturity periods, 1 December 2027 to 31 May 2028 or 1 December 2029 to 31 May 2030 |
Vesting period of the Options granted | : | The vesting period is 3 or 5 years from the date of grant. |
Grants to service providers or related entity participants | : | ISSOSNE is designed to incentivise and retain individuals, such as insurance agents, who are not employees of Prudential or its subsidiaries (the "Group") but who are closely connected with the Group. The Board of Directors of Prudential is of the view that these grants will ensure Prudential's long term interests are aligned and the grantees will be motivated to contribute towards the Group's development. |
The Options were granted to the following category of grantees:
| Number of Options granted |
Non-Employees | 511,813 |
Total | 511,813 |
None of the grantees of the Options is a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of Prudential, nor an associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any of them.
As at the date of the October ISSOSNE Announcement and the date of this announcement, the maximum number of shares available for future grant under the scheme mandate of the above plans and any other plans of Prudential is 207,048,378 and the service provider sublimit of the above plan and any other plans of Prudential is 38,997,344.
Reference is also made to the other announcement made by Prudential issued on 7 October 2024 regarding a certain grant of share options under the Prudential Sharesave Plan 2023 (the "Sharesave") (the "October Sharesave Announcement"). Due to the inadvertent oversight in the October ISSOSNE Announcement, the October Sharesave Announcement misstated the maximum number of shares available for future grant. The Board wishes to clarify that, as at the date of the October Sharesave Announcement and the date of this announcement, the maximum number of shares available for future grant was 207,048,378 under the scheme mandate of the Sharesave and any other plans of Prudential.
