5 terms

scrip dividend alternative financial

"The Shares will be issued by Prudential in connection with the scrip dividend alternative for the 2025 second interim dividend."

pari passu financial

"When issued, these Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares."

An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.

share dealing facility financial

"Prudential has made available a share dealing facility to enable United Kingdom shareholders to participate in the scrip dividend alternative..."

American Depositary Receipts financial

"a listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: PUK) in the form of American Depositary Receipts."

A certificate traded on U.S. markets that represents ownership of shares in a foreign company, letting U.S. investors buy and sell that company as if it were listed domestically. Think of it as a local voucher for a foreign product: it makes price quotes in dollars, trades on familiar exchanges, and brings differences in liquidity, fees and legal protections that can affect returns and risk compared with buying the underlying foreign shares directly.

dual primary listings financial

"The business has dual primary listings on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX: 2378) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE: PRU)."
