REPORTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT:
The indenture, to the extent relating to the notes offered hereunder, certain notes previously issued under the indenture and all future series of securities under the indenture, provides that any documents or reports that Prudential Financial, Inc., or Prudential Financial, may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be filed with the trustee within 15 days after Prudential Financial has filed those documents or reports with the SEC. Under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, Prudential Financial may have a separate obligation to file with the trustee documents or reports it is required to file with the SEC. Prudential Financial’s failure to comply with either filing obligation is not an event that will result in an event of default under the indenture. Accordingly, acceleration of Prudential Financial’s obligations under the notes offered hereunder will not be a remedy for its failure to file those documents or reports with the trustee, and you may have no remedy for the failure other than an action in damages. For certain other outstanding series of notes of Prudential Financial, acceleration is a remedy, upon appropriate notice and passage of time, for the holders of those securities for Prudential Financial’s failure to file documents or reports with the trustee.
