Prudential Health Limited ("PruHealth") and PruProtect are Discovery`s joint    
ventures in the United Kingdom, owned equally by Discovery and Prudential plc.  
Shareholders are referred to the first quarter 2010 Interim Management statement

respect of PruHealth and PruProtect:                                            
"PruProtect sales continued to grow strongly, with APE sales in the first       
quarter of 2010 of GBP5 million, up 145 per cent on the same period last year.  
This represented a record quarterly performance for PruProtect. Growth continues
in PruHealth, with APE sales up 12 per cent on the first quarter 2009. PruHealth
now has more than 210,000 customers insured."
