Announcement (6/1/26): “Prudential plc (the “Company”) announces that it will commence a buyback programme of its ordinary shares up to a maximum aggregate amount of USD 1.2 billion (the “Programme”). Given the size of the Programme, it is intended that it will be completed by no later than 18 December 2026. The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the issued share capital of the Company in order to return capital to shareholders. The Directors consider the Programme to be in the best interests of the Company and of its shareholders generally. Our capital management programme was communicated on 27 August and is expected to return to shareholders over USD 5 billion over the period 2024-2027, before the intended return to shareholders of the net proceeds from the initial public offering of ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Limited (“IPAMC IPO”). We announced on 23 December 2025 that we had completed the final tranche of a USD 2 billion buyback programme in 2025 and on 19 December 2025 that we had completed the IPAMC IPO. Accordingly, we will now commence a buyback of USD 1.2 billion to be executed in 2026, comprising USD 500 million of recurring capital returns and USD 700 million of net proceeds from the IPAMC IPO. The balance of the net proceeds from the IPAMC IPO will be returned to shareholders during 2027. The pace, timing of and form of the proposed returns of capital will be subject to market conditions and execution considerations, including discretion given to a third party for execution during closed periods.”
