Prudential ( (GB:PRU) ) has issued an update.
Prudential plc has announced the purchase of 300,000 of its own ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange through Barclays Capital Securities Limited. This transaction is part of the authority granted by shareholders at the 2025 AGM and follows an agreement with Barclays announced in December 2024. The purchased shares will be cancelled, reducing the total number of shares in issue to 2,597,756,198, which will also be the new total number of voting rights in the company. This move is in line with the company’s strategy to manage its capital structure and potentially enhance shareholder value.
