Prudential Opens Singapore Scrip Dividend Window After Pricing New Shares at $13.83
Prudential plc has opened the election period for Singapore shareholders to take newly issued stock rather than cash for its 2025 second interim dividend, after fixing the scrip reference price at US$13.834482 a share. The election window runs from April 6 to April 14, according to SGX corporate-action details and the insurer’s dividend timetable. The move matters because it pushes forward the latest leg of Prudential’s payout plan after the Asia-focused insurer lifted its total 2025 dividend by 15% and told investors in March it expected to return more than $7 billion over 2024-2027. Prudential also reported that annual new-business profit, a measure of expected profit from new policies, rose 12% in 2025.
