DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund to each class of shares, to the extent paid, will be paid on the same day and at the same time, and will be determined in the same manner and will be in the same amount, except that the amount of the dividends and other distributions declared and paid by a particular class of the Fund may be different from that paid by another class of the Fund because of Rule 12b-1 fees, service fees and other expenses borne exclusively by that class.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, Class T Shares, Class Z Shares, Class R1 Shares, Class R2 Shares, Class R3 Shares, Class R4 Shares, Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares shall have such exchange privileges as set forth in each Fund’s current prospectus. Exchange privileges may vary among classes and among holders of a Class.

Conversions will be effected at relative net asset value without the imposition of any additional sales charge. Class B shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions will be subject to conversion in accordance with the procedures utilized by the broker-dealer through which the Class B shares were purchased, to the extent such broker-dealer provides sub-accounting services to the Fund, otherwise the procedures utilized by Prudential Mutual Fund Services, LLC, or its affiliates, shall be used.
Effective April 1, 2019, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis approximately ten years after purchase. Conversions will be effected at relative net asset value without the imposition of any additional sales charge. Class C shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends or distributions will be subject to conversion in accordance with the procedures utilized by the broker-dealer through
which the Class C shares were purchased, to the extent such broker-dealer provides sub-accounting services to the Fund, otherwise the procedures utilized by Prudential Mutual Fund Services, LLC, or its affiliates, shall be used. Class C shares of a Fund acquired through automatic reinvestment of dividends or distributions will convert to Class A shares pro rata with the converting Class C shares that were not acquired through reinvestment of dividends or distributions.
GENERAL
A. | Each class of shares shall have exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders that relates solely to its arrangement and shall have separate voting rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of one class differ from the interests of any other class. |
B. | On an ongoing basis, the Directors/Trustees, pursuant to their fiduciary responsibilities under the 1940 Act and otherwise, will monitor the Fund for the existence of any material conflicts among the interests of its several classes. The Directors/Trustees, including a majority of the independent Directors/Trustees, shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to eliminate any such conflicts that may develop. Prudential Investments LLC, the Fund's Manager, will be responsible for reporting any potential or existing conflicts to the Directors/Trustees. |
