Under the agreement Mr Wadhwani has been granted an option entitling him to receive a cash amount equal to the market value of a specified number of Prudential plc ordinary shares on the date of exercise, less an option price of HKD 0.48 (being the HKD equivalent of 5 pence per share, using a 20-day average FX rate up to the date Mr Wadhwani joined Prudential plc).
