Additional information
The Prudential Long Term Incentive Plan share awards granted on 15 May 2020 were made under the revised Directors' Remuneration Policy approved at Prudential's Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2020. The value of the awards is based on arrangements refered to in the Update on Executive Director Remuneration announcement published on 9 April 2020.
The Board's Remuneration Committee may reduce the vesting level of the awards in 2023 to ensure PDMRs do not benefit from windfall gains. The committee will consider Prudential's stretching performance targets; the share prices of Prudential and its peers; the prices of the indices on which Prudential is listed; and any other factors deemed relevant. These share awards are subject to a further two-year holding period which cannot be charged, pledged, transferred or otherwise encumbered.
The awards granted to Mike Wells, Mark FitzPatrick and James Turner refered to in the Director/PDMR Shareholding announcement on 9 April 2020 relate to the deferred portion of their 2019 Annual Incentive Plan bonus.
Prudential plc is not affiliated in any manner with Prudential Financial, Inc., a company whose principal place of business is in the United States of America nor with the Prudential Assurance Company, a subsidiary of M&G plc, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom.
