Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On May 16, 2010, American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) and AIA Aurora LLC (“AIA Aurora”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AIG, entered into (i) an agreement (the “SPA Amendment”), with Prudential plc (“Prudential”) and Prudential Group plc (“New Prudential”, formerly Petrohue (UK) Investments Limited), amending the share purchase agreement (as so amended, the “Share Purchase Agreement”), dated as of March 1, 2010, among AIG, AIA Aurora, Prudential and New Prudential, and (ii) a standby subordinated note commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Prudential, pursuant to which AIA Aurora has agreed to subscribe under specified circumstances for subordinated debt securities of Prudential on the terms and conditions contained therein.

     In connection with the acquisition by New Prudential of the entire issued share capital of AIA Group Limited from AIA Aurora pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”), Prudential intends to offer up to $5.4 billion of subordinated debt securities (the “Subordinated Notes”), and has appointed Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, HSBC Bank plc and J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. as joint lead managers (collectively, the “Joint Lead Managers”) of the offering of the Subordinated Notes (the “Offering”). To the extent that the Joint Lead Managers do not procure subscriptions in full for the Offering for an aggregate amount equal to $5.4 billion by the date on which the last of certain conditions in the Share Purchase Agreement has been satisfied or waived (the “Determination Date”), AIA Aurora has agreed pursuant to the Commitment Letter to subscribe for Subordinated Notes on the closing of the Acquisition in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1.875 billion and (ii) the amount required to make the aggregate amount of Subordinated Notes subscribed for by investors under the Offering and by AIA Aurora under the Commitment Letter equal to $5.4 billion.

     If and to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Subordinated Notes to be subscribed for by AIA Aurora pursuant to the Commitment Letter and the amount of Subordinated Notes subscribed for by investors under the Offering is less than $5.4 billion, calculated as of the Determination Date, AIA Aurora will have the option to subscribe for additional Subordinated Notes on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter.

     The effectiveness of the Commitment Letter is conditional on the consent of the Joint Lead Managers being obtained. The obligations of AIG and AIA Aurora under the Commitment Letter are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent, including (i) the occurrence of the closing of the Acquisition, (ii) customary conditions precedent for the issue of notes under Prudential’s £5 billion medium term note program (except for market and issuer adverse change conditions), and (iii) certain other conditions specified in the Commitment Letter.

     In the Commitment Letter, Prudential has made certain representations and warranties and undertakings to AIG and AIA Aurora and has agreed to pay AIG or AIA Aurora specified fees in consideration of their entering into the Commitment Letter and AIA Aurora’s agreement to subscribe for the Subordinated Notes.

     The Commitment Letter will terminate automatically upon the termination of the Share Purchase Agreement. In addition, AIG may terminate the Commitment Letter under specified circumstances, including if (i) Prudential does not publish (x) a prospectus in connection with the rights issue it is undertaking and (y) the circular to be issued to its shareholders, in each case in connection with the Acquisition, and (ii) New Prudential does not publish a prospectus in connection with the admission of its ordinary shares to listing and trading on the London Stock Exchange, in each case by May 30, 2010.

     Settlement of AIA Aurora’s subscription for the Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Commitment Letter will be in the form of a reduction in the cash consideration payable to AIA Aurora pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement. The SPA Amendment provides that the cash consideration of $25 billion payable to AIA Aurora upon the closing of the Acquisition will be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate nominal value of the Subordinated Notes for which AIA Aurora subscribes or is required to subscribe under the Commitment Letter and that such Subordinated Notes will constitute a component of the total consideration payable to AIA Aurora upon the closing of the Acquisition.

     The descriptions of the SPA Amendment and the Commitment Letter contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the SPA Amendment and the Commitment Letter, respectively, which are attached as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and incorporated in their entirety into this Item 1.01 by reference.

NOW IT IS AGREED as follows:

1		Definitions and Interpretation

1.2		The amendments to the SPA provided for in this agreement shall take effect on execution of this agreement. Save as provided in this agreement, the SPA shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
2		Clause 1 (Interpretation)

		“”Final Dividend” has the meaning set out in clause 2.4.”
		“”FRBNY” has the meaning set out in clause 16.2(h).”

3		Clause 2 (Sale and Purchase of the Shares)
3.1		The wording in clause 2.3(a) of the SPA shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
		“subject to clause 2.3A, US$25 billion payable in cash to the Seller at Completion (the “Cash Consideration”);”
3.2		A new clause 2.3A shall be added to the SPA in the form set out below:
		“If the Seller subscribes or is required to subscribe for Prudential subordinated notes pursuant to the Standby Subordinated Note Commitment Letter, dated as of May             2010, among Prudential, the Parent and the Seller (the “Subordinated Note Commitment Letter”), the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate nominal value of the subordinated notes for which the Parent or the Seller subscribes or is required to subscribe, and as a component of the consideration for the Shares, there shall be allotted and issued to and subscribed for by the Seller at Completion the subordinated notes which it subscribes or is required to subscribe for pursuant to the Subordinated Note Commitment Letter. If all or any part of the aggregate nominal value of the subordinated notes for which the the Seller subscribes or is required to subscribe is denominated in a currency other than US dollars, such amount shall, for the purposes of this clause 2.3A, be converted to US dollars in accordance with clause 32 (on the basis that the Relevant Date shall be the Completion Date).”
3.3		The wording in clause 2.4 of the SPA shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
		“Subject as set out in clause 2.4A, the number of Purchaser Ordinary Shares referred to in clause 2.3(b) shall be such whole number as most nearly represents 11.3 per cent (the “Relevant Percentage”) of the issued ordinary share capital of the Purchaser immediately following Completion. The Relevant Percentage has been calculated by expressing as a percentage the result of dividing the notional Sterling value of the Consideration Shares (being £3.613 billion) (the “Consideration Shares Value”) by the sum of: (w) £15.257 billion, being the market capitalisation in Sterling of Prudential as at close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the date of this agreement, (x)

		less the value of the final dividend which is £0.343 billion (the “Final Dividend”), (y) plus £13.465 billion, being the expected gross proceeds in Sterling of the Rights Issue (the “Expected Sterling Gross Proceeds”) and (z) plus the Consideration Shares Value (such sum being the “Denominator”).”
3.4		A new clause 2.4A shall be added to the SPA in the form set out below:
		“For the purpose of determining the number of Purchaser Ordinary Shares referred to in clause 2.3(b), the Relevant Percentage shall, if required, be re-calculated in the following circumstances and on the following basis:

	(a)		if the actual Sterling gross proceeds of the Rights Issue (the “Actual Sterling Gross Proceeds”) differ from the Expected Sterling Gross Proceeds, the Relevant Percentage shall be re-calculated on the basis that the value to be inserted at clause 2.4(y) shall be the Actual Sterling Gross Proceeds rather than the Expected Sterling Gross Proceeds;
	(b)		if, in the period between the Signing Date and Completion, Prudential issues further ordinary shares (other than pursuant to the Rights Issue or the Scheme of Arrangement), the Relevant Percentage shall be re-calculated on the basis that the Denominator shall be increased by the proceeds of issue of such ordinary shares (which, in the case of ordinary shares issued pursuant to a scrip dividend alternative, shall be deemed to be zero); and/or
	(c)		if, in the period between the Signing Date and Completion, Prudential makes a distribution by way of dividend or share repurchase to some or all of its ordinary shareholders, the Relevant Percentage shall be re-calculated on the basis that the Denominator shall be reduced by the cash amount of such distribution (save that the only re-calculation that shall be carried out in respect of the Final Dividend shall be as described in paragraph (ii) below).

		For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Relevant Percentage shall be re-calculated in respect of any and all events of the types identified in (a), (b) and (c) above and (ii) the Relevant Percentage shall be re-calculated (in accordance with (b) and (c)) in order to reflect the outcome of the scrip alternative offered in respect of the Final Dividend (and so that the value to be inserted at clause 2.4(x) shall be the amount of cash actually paid to ordinary shareholders by Prudential in respect of the Final Dividend).”
4		Clause 8 (Conduct of business before Completion)
4.1		Clause 8.3 of the SPA shall be deleted in its entirety.
4.2		The following wording shall be inserted as a new clause 8.3 in the SPA:
		“The parties acknowledge that the Seller and the Parent have provided to Prudential certain data relating to the financial performance of the AIA Group in the first quarter of 2010 (the “Raw Data”) in order to allow Prudential to calculate certain metrics (the “Prudential Metrics”) for inclusion in, inter alia, the Prudential Prospectus. Without prejudice to any responsibility which the Seller or the Parent may have for the Raw Data, the Purchaser and Prudential hereby agree that neither the Seller nor the Parent

		shall have any liability to the Purchaser or Prudential arising out of or in connection with the calculation by Prudential of the Prudential Metrics on the basis of the Raw Data, the form or manner in which the Prudential Metrics may be presented or published by Prudential and/or any determination by Prudential that the disclosure of such metrics satisfies applicable legal and regulatory standards.”
5		Clause 16 (Lock-up)
5.1		The following wording shall be inserted as a new sub-clause 16.2(h) in the SPA:
		“the creation, following Completion and subject as set out below, of any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest over the Purchaser Ordinary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Securities in favour of (i) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “FRBNY”) pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated September 22, 2008, between the Parent and the FRBNY, and the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, dated September 22, 2008, among the Parent, the FRBNY and the Guarantors party thereto, in each case as amended from time to time, or (ii) any other permitted third party lender or financing counterparty of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Lender”) in connection with financing provided to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries on arm’s length terms, providing the FRBNY or such Lender, as appropriate, agrees to abide by the restrictions contained in clause 16.1 during the Lock-Up Period or Mandatory Convertible Securities Lock-up Period, as applicable, as if it were the Seller; provided, however, that (a) a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) or the FRBNY may enter into transactions which would otherwise breach the restrictions contained in clause 16.1 if such transactions are entered into for the account of clients or in the ordinary course of its market activities and such transactions do not act as a hedge against, and are otherwise unrelated to, the securities subject to such pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest and (b) upon default and enforcement by a Lender or the FRBNY, as the case may be, of any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest over any Purchaser Ordinary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Securities following failure of the borrower to repay when due the principal sum outstanding under, or to post when required any collateral in respect of, the relevant financing arrangement, the Lender or the FRBNY, as the case may be, will not be bound by any of the restrictions contained in clause 16.1 (x) to the extent necessary to allow it to recover what is due to it under such financing arrangement, (y) providing that the Lender or the FRBNY, as the case may be, shall be obliged to use all reasonable endeavours to maximise the proceeds of any sales of Purchaser Ordinary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Securities effected for that purpose and (z) providing that any such sales shall be carried out in consultation with brokers nominated by the Purchaser. The Parent shall give the Purchaser at least 10 Business Days’ advance written notice of the proposed creation of any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest as described above and shall afford the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to satisfy itself that any Lender is a permitted lender or financing counterparty for the purposes of clause (ii) and that adequate arrangements are in place to ensure compliance by the FRBNY or the Lender with the restrictions contained in clause 16.1. A Lender shall be a permitted lender or financing counterparty for the purposes of clause (ii) if it is Citigroup Inc., Nomura Securities International Inc., Bank of America Corporation or any other lender or financing counterparty approved in writing in advance by the Purchaser (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). If so requested by the Purchaser, the Parent shall take such action (or procure that such action is taken) as may reasonably be

		required to enforce the restrictions contained in clause 16.1 against the FRBNY or the relevant Lender. From May                    2010 to completion of the Rights Issue, the Parent shall not, and shall procure that none of its Subsidiaries shall, enter into any discussions with any potential Lender with regard to the creation of any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest over the Purchaser Ordinary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Securities. Subject to applicable Law and securities exchange rules, the Parent shall not, during the Lock-Up Period or Mandatory Convertible Securities Lock-up Period, make any announcement relating to any pledge, mortgage, hypothecation or similar security interest of or over any Purchaser Ordinary Shares or Mandatory Convertible Securities without first consulting with the Purchaser and giving the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to comment on such announcement; and”

5.3		The final word “and” at the end of sub-clause 16.2(f) of the SPA shall be deleted and period (“.”) at the end of sub-clause 16.2(g) shall be deleted.
6		Clause 19 (Confidentiality)
		The following wording contained in the first sentence of clause 19.1 of the SPA shall be deleted: “and the confidentiality agreement, dated 12 January, 2010, between the Company and the Purchaser”, and shall be replaced by the following wording: “and the confidentiality agreement, dated 26 January, 2010, between the Company and the Purchaser”.
7		Clause 22 (Notices)
		The fax numbers for the Parent and the Seller set out in sub-clauses (a) and (b) of clause 22.1 of the SPA shall be deleted and replaced by the following number: “212-425-2175”.

Dear Sirs,

U.S.$1,875,000,000 Standby Subordinated Note Commitment

1.		Introduction
1.1		AIA Aurora LLC (“Aurora”), American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”), Prudential plc (“Prudential”) and Prudential Group plc (formerly Petrohue (UK) Investments Limited) (“New Prudential”) entered into a share purchase agreement on March 1, 2010 (as amended, the “Acquisition Agreement”), relating to the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of AIA Group Limited (“AIA”) by New Prudential (the “Acquisition”).
1.2		Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the definitions given in the dealership agreement dated 9 December 2009 (the “Dealership Agreement”) in relation to Prudential’s existing £5,000,000,000 medium term note programme (the “Programme”).
1.3		The rights and obligations of the parties under this letter (other than under this clause 1 and clauses 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13) shall only become effective upon receipt by Prudential of consent from the Joint Lead Managers (as defined below) to those rights and obligations becoming effective. Prudential shall notify AIG and Aurora promptly upon receipt of any such consent from the Joint Lead Managers and in the event that AIG and Aurora have not received such notification from Prudential by the date of the Prudential Shareholders Meeting (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) then those rights and obligations may never become effective and shall automatically terminate. The rights and obligations of the parties under clauses 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall become effective immediately upon signing of this letter.
1.4		If the Joint Lead Managers request any amendment to the terms of this letter as a condition to granting the consent referred to in clause 1.3, AIG and Aurora shall consider such request with a view to making any such amendment(s) as may be required in order to obtain that consent but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be obliged to agree to any such amendment(s) being made.

2.		Subordinated Note Offering and Standby Commitment
2.1		In connection with the Acquisition, Prudential intends to offer (the “Subordinated Note Offering”) up to U.S.$5,400,000,000 of securities eligible as Lower Tier 2 Capital (“LT2 Notes”) and/or Upper Tier 2 Capital (“UT2 Notes”) (together, the “Subordinated Notes”) under the Programme and/or on a stand-alone basis. Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited or its affiliates (“Credit Suisse”), HSBC Bank plc or its affiliates (“HSBC”) and J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. or its affiliates (“J.P. Morgan Cazenove”) have been appointed by Prudential as joint lead managers of the Subordinated Note Offering (the “Joint Lead Managers”). The Joint Lead Managers have entered into a Hybrid Capital Facility Commitment letter dated 16 May 2010 with Prudential (the “Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter”).
2.2		Subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, to the extent that the Joint Lead Managers do not procure subscriptions in full for the Subordinated Note Offering for an aggregate amount equal to U.S.$5,400,000,000 by the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in clauses 3.1(a), (b), (c) and (d)(i) of the Acquisition Agreement has been satisfied in full or waived in full (the “Determination Date”), Aurora agrees to subscribe for Subordinated Notes on the Completion Date (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) U.S.$1,875,000,000 and (ii) the amount required to make the aggregate amount of Subordinated Notes subscribed for by all investors equal to U.S.$5,400,000,000.
2.3		If and to the extent that Aurora is obliged to subscribe for any Subordinated Notes pursuant to clause 2.2 above, subject to clause 2.4, such Subordinated Notes shall be allocated between the LT2 Notes and the UT2 Notes in such proportion necessary to cause the LT2 Notes and UT2 Notes so subscribed for, together with the LT2 Notes and UT2 Notes subscribed for by investors under the Subordinated Note Offering, any Subordinated Notes to be subscribed for by the Joint Lead Managers pursuant to the Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter and any LT2 Notes and UT2 Notes to be subscribed for pursuant to clause 2.5 below, to be in a ratio of 5 UT2 Notes to 4 LT2 Notes. If the Joint Lead Managers subscribe for any Subordinated Notes pursuant to the Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter, then the LT2 Notes, on the one hand, and the UT2 Notes, on the other hand, subscribed for by Aurora pursuant to clause 2.2 above and clause 2.5 below and by the Joint Lead Managers shall be allocated on a proportionate basis as among Aurora and the Joint Lead Managers.
2.4		The maximum aggregate nominal value of (i) the LT2 Notes subscribed for by investors under the Subordinated Note Offering and (ii) the LT2 Notes to be subscribed by Aurora pursuant to clause 2.2 shall not exceed U.S.$2,400,000,000. If the aggregate nominal value of (i) the LT2 Notes subscribed for by investors under the Subordinated Note Offering and (ii) the LT2 Notes which Aurora would otherwise be required to subscribe pursuant to clauses 2.2 and 2.3 above exceeds U.S.$2,400,000,000, such excess Subordinated Notes to be subscribed for by Aurora shall be eligible as UT2 Notes.
2.5		If and to the extent that the aggregate of the amount of the Subordinated Notes to be subscribed by Aurora pursuant to clause 2.2 and the amount of LT2 Notes and UT2 Notes subscribed for by investors under the Subordinated Note Offering is less than U.S.$5,400,000,000, calculated as at the Determination Date, Aurora shall have the option, but shall not be obliged, to subscribe for additional Subordinated Notes on the terms set forth in Schedule A hereto and in Schedule A to the Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter (save that the Issue Date for the purposes of this letter shall be the Completion Date) (the “Backstop Terms”). Aurora shall notify Prudential within

		three London business days of the Determination Date of the amount of additional Subordinated Notes for which it intends to subscribe pursuant to this clause 2.5.

The Conversion shall be effected in accordance with GENPRU 2.2.77 (as amended or replaced from time to time).
1.2		For the avoidance of doubt, no change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls or downgrading of the Issuer as would, in the Issuer’s view, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the offering and distribution of the relevant Conversion Notes or dealings in such Conversion Notes in the secondary market need be taken into account by Aurora when determining whether to exercise its right to the Conversion and the Issuer shall not be entitled to rely on any of the aforementioned reasons to prevent the Conversion or not exercise its best endeavours to perform its undertakings hereunder.
1.3		For the purposes of this Schedule, “Conversion Note Issuer” means the Issuer unless if, at the time a Conversion Notice is issued: (i) the Acquisition has completed, and (ii) the Target is not a Subsidiary of the Issuer, it shall mean Newco (as such terms are defined in Schedules F and G of the Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter).
1.4		Following the giving of a Conversion Notice and where the Conversion Note Issuer is Newco, the Issuer shall (i) comply with this Schedule and (ii) procure that Newco complies with provisions of this Schedule which are required to be complied with by Newco in order to give effect to this Schedule.
1.5		Immediately prior to any Conversion Prudential shall pay all accrued but unpaid interest on the LT2 Notes or UT2 Notes subject to the Conversion.
2.		PRICING AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONVERSION NOTES
2.1		The pricing of the Conversion Notes is to be set at a market clearing level (being the yield at which all the Conversion Notes are sold into the market, determined by Aurora in consultation with the Issuer) no greater than as set out in Schedule A of the Joint Lead Managers’ Commitment Letter. The Conversion Notes will be denominated in either £, US$ or € (to be determined by Aurora after consultation with the Issuer (which has a preference for £ or US$)) and issued under the Conversion Note Issuer’s then current Medium Term Note programme (“MTN Programme”), including pursuant to Rule 144A, or otherwise in 144A/Reg S format as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case within 60 days of a written request by Aurora.

		Aurora shall be entitled to offer and sell the Conversion Notes to investors and in jurisdictions typically targeted by the Issuer in its distribution in similar transactions and to such other investors and in such other jurisdictions as the Issuer and Aurora may agree acting reasonably.
2.2		The pricing, maturity and other terms and conditions of the Conversion Notes will be dependent on market conditions and investor appetite then prevailing and will be determined solely at the discretion of Aurora in consultation with the Conversion Note Issuer provided always that the terms and conditions of the Conversion Notes (i) shall be the same or more favourable from the point of view of the Conversion Note Issuer’s regulatory capital resources than the UT2 Notes or LT2 Notes they replace and (ii) shall contain the provisions relating to prepayment set out in the relevant provisions of the LT2 Notes/UT2 Notes and provided further that the pricing maturity and other terms and conditions of the Conversion Notes will be such that no interest payable on the Conversion Notes will be treated as a distribution for corporation tax purposes, the Conversion Notes will be “normal commercial loans” within the meaning of Section 162 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, the Conversion Notes will not be convertible or exchangeable into, nor carry any right to acquire, any shares or securities and no stamp duty will be chargeable on an instrument transferring any of the Conversion Notes.
2.3		The Conversion Note Issuer and Aurora shall enter into a subscription agreement substantially in the form and with the content as prescribed under the MTN Programme.
2.4		The Conversion Notes shall be sold and purchased or, as the case may be, subscribed on the basis of, and in reliance upon the provisions of a subscription agreement which will include any conditions, representations, warranties and undertakings as agreed between Aurora and the Conversion Note Issuer (both acting reasonably) required as a result of a change, from the date of this letter, in law or regulation which, if not included, could in the reasonable opinion of Aurora have an impact on the legality or regulatory compliance of the Conversion Notes.

	3.1.9		engage and utilise the services of a depositary, agents, custodian and/or trustee as necessary in order to effect any issuance(s) of the Conversion Notes;
	3.1.10		procure, in a timely manner, any legal opinions or comfort letters reasonably required by Aurora;
	3.1.11		ensure that any calculations or determinations that are required by the Terms and Conditions of the Conversion Notes to be made prior to the date of issue of the Conversion Notes are duly made;
	3.1.12		obtain all authorisations, consents, approvals, filings, notifications and registrations required by the Issuer for or in connection with the issuance(s) of the Conversion Notes, including the passing of any necessary resolutions;
