The policy also requires the Company to disclose to its shareholders not later than the filing of the next following proxy statement the action taken by the Board, or the Board�s decision not to take action, with regard to compensation recovery following a material restatement or improper conduct, so long as such event has been previously disclosed in the Company�s filings with the SEC.

I. Recoupment

If (i)�Prudential is required to undertake a Restatement or (ii)�any person who is -or was an Executive Officer has engaged in Improper Conduct that either has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, an Adverse Effect, then the Board may, in its sole discretion, after evaluating the associated costs and benefits, seek to recover all or any portion of the Recoverable Incentive paid to any such Executive Officer during the Applicable Period. In addition, the Board may, in its sole discretion and in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment, determine whether and to what extent additional action is appropriate to address the circumstances surrounding such Restatement or such Improper Conduct so as to minimize the likelihood of any recurrence and to impose such other discipline as it deems appropriate.

Subject to applicable law, the Board may seek to recoup such Recoverable Incentive by requiring any affected Executive Officer to repay such amount to the Company; by set-off; by reducing future compensation; or by such other means or combination of means as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines to be appropriate.

II. Disclosure

The Company shall disclose to its shareholders not later than the filing of the next following proxy statement the actions taken or the decision not to take action with regard to recovery or non-recovery, as the case may be, of Recoverable Amounts (including reporting the aggregate amounts recovered) related to any Restatement or to any Improper Conduct, so long as such event has been previously disclosed in Prudential�s filings with the SEC.

III. Definitions

For purposes of this Policy, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

1) Adverse Effect� means any significant adverse impact on the reputation of, or a significant adverse economic consequence for, Prudential or any of its affiliated companies, or any division or segment thereof.

2) Applicable Period� means (i)�in the case of any Restatement, the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the Restatement and (ii)�in the case of any Improper Conduct, the three-year period preceding the date of the Improper Conduct, as determined by the Board.


3) Board� means the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board of Directors that, at the relevant time, has authority for making determinations as to the compensation of Executive Officers.

4) Exchange Act� means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

7) Recoverable Incentive� means the amount of any incentive-based compensation (including stock options and other equity awards) paid to or in respect of an Executive Officer during the Applicable Period that, (i)�in the case of a Restatement, exceeds the amount or value that the Board determines, in its sole discretion, would have been payable or received in respect of incentive-based compensation had the revised financial statement(s) reflected in the Restatement been applied to determine the incentive-based compensation or been available to the market at the time such incentive-based compensation was paid and (ii)�in the case of any Improper Conduct, the Board determines, in its sole discretion, to be appropriate in light of the scope and nature of the Improper Conduct.

Exhibit 10.2

Annual Incentive Payment Criteria for Executive Officers

(Effective for Awards in 2015 in Respect of 2014 and for Subsequent Years)

Annual Incentives for executive officers, including the CEO, are primarily based on an assessment of Company performance relative to key financial objectives. Each senior executive has an annual incentive target. A performance factor is applied to each of their targets to generate their initial annual incentive award.

The performance metric for the annual incentive program is earnings per share, or EPS, on an adjusted operating income (AOI) basis. EPS performance is measured relative to the Company�s EPS targets. The reported EPS data is adjusted for certain one-time items to more accurately reflect the operating performance of the Company�s businesses and to take into account certain financial market performance factors relative to the assumptions used in establishing the EPS targets. One-time items excluded from the reported EPS data include:

1. Actuarial assumption updates.

2. M&A activity including divestitures, integration and one-time costs.

3. Accounting pronouncement / methodology changes.

4. Unplanned corporate initiatives.

5. Other significant events that are unusual, non-recurring and not reflective of operating performance.

An initial performance factor is determined based on EPS performance relative to the Company�s EPS targets. The initial performance factor maybe increased or decreased by up to 10% based on the Company�s performance against certain quantitative measures (ROE, EPS Growth and Book Value Per Share Growth) relative to the North American Life insurance subset of the compensation peer group.

The Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce the performance factor based on such considerations as:

Risk and compliance performance.

Credit and insurance rating downgrades.

Adequacy of capital ratios.

Finally, the Committee may consider additional quantitative and qualitative considerations to determine the final performance factor, including:

Business drivers, i.e., net flows, sales growth, persistency, etc.

Employee measures, including Employee Opinion Survey results, talent management and diversity

Other considerations such as share price performance for the year and projected changes in peer pay levels.

The primary driver of the actual annual incentive awards made to the executive officers is based on the final performance factor. The Committee considers individual performance and contributions in determining the final award. Awards are subject to the Company�s �Clawback� Policy.

If an executive retires or in certain other cases of termination of employment, the Committee may award an annual incentive payment to the executive for contributions during the year in which the executive�s employment ended.

* * * *

�Adjusted operating income�, or �AOI�, referred to above, differs from, and should not be viewed as a substitute for, income from continuing operations or net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but is the financial measure that the Company uses to analyze the operations of each segment in managing its businesses. EPS referred to above is determined on the basis of after-tax adjusted operating income.

Prudential Financial, Inc. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program

This document contains the principal terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted to employees under the Prudential Financial, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan) for 2015. Specific provisions applicable to any employees selected to participate in any particular country are set out in Schedule 2.

PART A: General terms and conditions

1. Purpose

Prudential�s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program (the Program) is made available to employees subject to the terms of the Plan and is designed to strengthen the links between leadership, motivation and consistent performance. Employees selected to participate in the Program may be granted Awards of Performance Units valued by reference to the book value of the Common Stock (the Book Value Units), Awards of Restricted Stock Units, Options, Performance Shares, Performance Units, or a combination thereof, and will be advised of the Awards made to them in their own personalized compensation statement or a communication from their manager.

The grant of Awards under the Program is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Plan document. This document describes the principal terms and conditions of Awards granted to employees under the Plan (the Terms). Schedule 1 to these Terms contains the definitions used in these Terms. If there is any discrepancy between these Terms and the Plan document, or if there is a discrepancy between any information given by anyone acting on behalf of any member of the Company Group and the Plan document, the Plan document, as interpreted by the Compensation Committee, will always govern.

2. Eligibility and grants

Grants of Awards under the Plan are entirely at the sole discretion of Prudential.

A grant of an Award under the Plan on one occasion does not give an employee the right to any further grant at any time in the future.

3. Acceptance of an Award

An employee granted an Award may accept the Award in any manner specified by the Compensation Committee (or the Company Group) and may be deemed to have accepted an Award if the employee has not declined the grant of that Award (in whole or in part) within any period of time specified by the Compensation Committee (or the Company Group) and notified to the employee.

By accepting an Award, a Participant will be responsible for complying with any Applicable Laws relating to:

(i) the transfer of funds on the exercise of an Option (if the Cash Exercise method is used);

(ii) the acquisition, holding and sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan; and

(iii) the opening and maintaining of a U.S. brokerage account.

The Applicable Laws may change and Participants should seek their own professional legal, financial and taxation advice in relation to their participation in the Plan.

4. Taxes

Prudential or any member of the Company Group, as appropriate, has the right to deduct, report and account for any taxes or other obligations required to be withheld by law in connection with an Award. Prudential (or, as appropriate, any other member of the Company Group) may require a Participant to pay to Prudential (or, if appropriate, any other member of the Company Group) the amount necessary to satisfy any such taxes or other obligations and may defer delivery of shares of Common Stock under the Plan to a Participant until such withholding is satisfied. On the exercise or the Vesting of an Award (as appropriate), Prudential, or, if appropriate, any other member of the Company Group, will have the right to withhold, either through payroll, through the withholding of sufficient shares of Common Stock or otherwise, in order to satisfy any applicable withholding requirements on the exercise or the Vesting of an Award (as appropriate). Participants will be responsible for ensuring that their own tax affairs in connection with the Plan are in order.

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 1


5. Value of Awards

Prudential makes no representation as to the future value of any Award under the Plan or whether any profit will be realized with respect to any Award. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future performance. Investments may fall as well as rise in value. By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that Prudential and the other members of the Company Group are not responsible for foreign exchange fluctuations between the Participant�s local currency and the U.S. dollar and are not liable for any decrease in the value of shares of Common Stock. Changes in exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the value, price or income of the securities.

6. Covenant not to solicit; Notice Period Requirement; other terms and restrictions

(a) Restrictions during Employment: By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that during Employment, the Participant will not, other than on behalf of the Company Group or as may otherwise be required in connection with the performance of the Participant�s duties on behalf of the Company Group, solicit or induce, either directly or indirectly, or take any action to assist any entity, either directly or indirectly, in soliciting or inducing any employee of the Company Group (other than the Participant�s administrative assistant) to leave Employment (Induce Departures).

(b) Post-Employment restrictive covenants, acknowledgements and representations: By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that following the termination of the Participant�s Employment:

(i) Until the original latest Vesting date of the Award or, if ending later, for a period of one year after the termination of the Participant�s Employment for any reason, the Participant will not Induce Departures or hire or employ, or assist in the hire or employment of, either directly or indirectly, any employee of the Company Group (other than the Participant�s administrative assistant) or any former employee of the Company Group within 60 days of that former employee�s cessation of Employment with the Company Group;
(ii) If the Participant voluntarily resigns in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement, the Participant will not compete with the Company Group in any business in which the Company Group is engaged on the last date of the Participant�s Employment that operates in any geographic area in which the Company Group operates as of the Participant�s last date of Employment, for a period of one year following the Participant�s termination of Employment or until the original latest Vesting date of the Award, whichever is the shorter period; and

(iii) The Participant could earn a living while fully complying with all of the provisions, restrictions and covenants contained in these Terms. The Participant acknowledges that Prudential provides a wide range of insurance, investment management and other financial products and services to customers throughout the world and that the restrictions contained in these Terms are reasonable and necessary to protect Prudential�s legitimate interests in its confidential information, trade secrets, customer relationships, and investment in the training and development of its employees.

(c)

Restrictions separable and divisible: By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant acknowledges and accepts the restrictions, covenants and requirements imposed by subsections 6(a), (b), (e)�and (f)�of Part A of these Terms and that each restriction, covenant or requirement will be construed as separate and divisible from every other restriction, covenant or requirement. If any provision contained in the Plan or these Terms is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan or these Terms, and the Plan or these Terms will be construed as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included in these Terms. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions, requirements or covenants contained in these Terms is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 2


which is not permitted by Applicable Laws, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, that provision will not be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent the provision would be valid or enforceable under Applicable Laws, a court of competent jurisdiction will construe and interpret or reform the Terms to provide for a restriction, requirement or covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained in these Terms) as will be valid and enforceable under Applicable Laws. Except as otherwise provided in Section�6(e) below, Prudential may waive any restriction or any breach in circumstances that it determines do not adversely affect its interests, but only in writing signed by its Senior Vice President, Human Resources (or the successor to his or her human resource responsibilities), or his or her delegate. No waiver of a breach of a restriction, requirement or covenant will be deemed a waiver of any other breach.

(d) Remedies: By accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that the restrictions in subsections 6(a) and (b)�of Part A of these Terms are fair, reasonable and necessary, and are reasonably required for the protection of Prudential and any other member of the Company Group. The Participant agrees and acknowledges that the amount of damages that would derive from the breach of any restriction is not readily ascertainable and that the restrictions are a significant portion of the consideration that the Participant conveys to Prudential in consideration of the grant of an Award. Accordingly, if a Participant fails to execute and submit or revokes a Release or breaches any of the restrictive covenants set out in subsections 6(a) and (b)�of Part A of these Terms, all of the Participant�s outstanding Awards will be cancelled immediately on the date of that failure, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee or its delegate. If a Participant breaches any of the restrictive covenants set out in subsections 6(a) and (b)�of Part A of these Terms, then, in addition to any equitable relief available to Prudential as outlined below, the Participant will transfer to Prudential cash or Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share), as applicable, equal in value (using the current

Market Value of Common Stock on the date the letter of notification of the breach is dated) to the profit realized by the Participant under the Plan occurring (I)�in the case of any breach while the Participant is an employee of the Company Group, within twelve (12)�months before the date of the breach or at any time after the date of such breach; or (II) in the case of a breach after the termination of the Participant�s Employment, within six (6)�months before the date on which the Participant�s Employment terminated or at any time after the date of such termination of Employment. For the avoidance of doubt, the term �profit� referred to in the preceding sentence will be equal to (I)�in the case of any Options, the sums (determined separately for each exercise of any portion of the Options within the applicable period established pursuant to such sentence) of (i)�(A)�the Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, in the case of a Cash Exercise, or the price at which shares of Common Stock are sold, in the case of a Same Day Sale, or a combination of such Market Value and sales price, in the case of a Sell to Cover (as each such term is defined in Part C below), minus (B)�the Grant Price of the Option, times (ii)�the number of shares of Common Stock acquired on exercise of the Option(s); (II) in the case of any Restricted Stock Unit or Performance Share Award, the sums (determined separately for each grant payable within the applicable period established pursuant to such sentence) of (i)�the Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of payment times (ii)�the number of shares of Common Stock acquired or acquirable; and (III) in the case of any other Award payable in cash, the amount of cash paid in respect of such Award. The Participant will pay any such amount (in the form of Common Stock or cash, as applicable) to Prudential within five (5)�business days of the date Prudential notifies the Participant that a breach of the provisions of this Section�6 has occurred. If payment is not made within that period, any subsequent payment will be made with interest at a rate equal to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) on the date on which notice of the breach is sent to the Participant by Prudential, plus two (2)�percent. Interest

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 3


payments will be made in cash. A Participant also acknowledges that the damages to Prudential for any breach of subsections 6(a) or (b)�of Part A of these Terms would be irreparable. Therefore, in addition to monetary damages and/or reasonable attorney�s fees, Prudential will have the right to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the restriction. Further, a Participant consents to the issue of a temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding.

(e) Notice Period Requirement: The Company Group operates in a highly competitive industry, invests heavily in its relationships with its employees and a broad range of clients and insists that its business and the insurance products and financial services that it provides to its clients not be disrupted in any manner when a Participant leaves its employ. A Participant acknowledges and agrees that it is reasonable and necessary to protect the Company Group�s interests and to provide a smooth transition if the Participant chooses to terminate employment with a member of the Company Group. Accordingly, if a Participant is employed within the Company Group in the grade levels or equivalent positions to such grade levels (e.g., Investment Professionals) at any time, as determined by the Company Group and specified in Schedule 3, by accepting the grant of an Award, the Participant agrees to deliver advance written notice of the resignation of his or her employment to his or her manager no later than the time period specified in Schedule 3 (referred to as �Notice Period�). Such written notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the applicable Company Group Managers.

�� If a Participant is party to a separate individual agreement or arrangement with a member of the Company Group that provides for a notice period other than that provided for under Schedule 3, the longest notice period will apply, unless the Company Group Managers determine otherwise.

�� Each Participant will continue to be paid the Participant�s current base salary throughout the Notice Period. A Participant may not be eligible for certain benefits if the Participant is placed on paid leave during the Notice Period.
�� If the Participant provides notice of the Participant�s resignation and the Notice Period applicable to the Participant includes the date on which Awards may be granted, vested or settled, as applicable, or payments of annual cash bonuses or other incentive compensation may be made, (I)�the Participant may be eligible for a grant of a new Award at Prudential�s sole discretion and (II) the Participant will only receive payment of, or vest in, as applicable, any previously granted Award, annual cash bonus or other incentive compensation if the Participant remains employed by a member of the Company Group on the scheduled payment or vesting date, as applicable, during the Notice Period, unless the Terms expressly entitle the Participant to more favorable treatment as may be determined by the Company Group Managers.

(i) A Participant�s Responsibilities During the Notice Period: During the Notice Period, the Participant will remain an employee of the applicable member of the Company Group and will not commence employment with, or provide services to or for, any employer other than a member of the Company Group, or become self-employed. As an employee within the Company Group, during the Notice Period, a Participant has a continuing duty of loyalty to the Company Group throughout the Notice Period and will remain bound by the provisions of Prudential�s Corporate Asset Protection Agreement (CAPA), Confidentiality of Client Information/Privacy Policies, and all other Company Group policies, including, but not limited to, those setting forth restrictions, covenants and requirements regarding confidential and proprietary information, non-solicitation of employees and customers, and no-hire obligations, as well as any other applicable agreements.

��

It is within the Company Group Managers� sole discretion to determine whether a Participant will perform the Participant�s duties or otherwise provide services during the Notice Period. At any time during the Notice Period, the Company Group Managers may remove

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 4


a Participant from any assigned duties, assign other duties to the Participant, require the Participant to refrain from performing any job duties or from reporting to work, and may prohibit the Participant from directly or indirectly contacting its customers, suppliers or employees until the Participant�s employment ends. Regardless of the extent to which the Company Group Managers direct a Participant to perform the Participant�s duties or report to work during the Notice Period, the Participant agrees to be available as reasonably necessary and continue to work cooperatively and professionally with the Company Group to ensure an effective transition of the Participant�s responsibilities. The Company Group Managers may, in their sole discretion, decide to waive all or any part of a Participant�s Notice Period and set an earlier employment separation date. In the event that the Company Group Managers waive a Participant�s Notice Period, in its entirety, or set an earlier employment separation date, (I)�the Participant will not receive payment of base salary beyond the separation date and (II) as described above, the Participant will not receive payment of, or vest in, as applicable, any previously granted Award, annual cash bonus or other incentive compensation if the earlier separation date occurs prior to the scheduled payment or vesting date, as applicable.

(ii) Consequences of Breach/Remedies: The failure of a Participant to comply with this subsection 6(e) of Part A of these Terms and give the requisite notice constitutes a breach of this subsection 6(e) of Part A of these Terms. As a result, by accepting the grant of an Award, a Participant agrees that the Company Group shall have the right to cancel all Awards outstanding as of the date of the breach and to enforce the terms and conditions of this subsection 6(e) of Part A of these Terms by seeking an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to pursuing any other remedies that it may have in law

or equity. Further, except as otherwise provided in these Terms or any Schedules hereto, a Participant consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of any proceeding.

(iii) Employment-at-Will: Nothing contained in this subsection 6(e) of Part A of these Terms is intended to constitute or create a contract of employment nor shall it constitute or create the right to remain in the employ of the Company Group for any particular period of time. At all times a Participant remains an employee-at-will, which means that either the Participant or the Company Group may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, subject to the Notice Period requirement in this subsection 6(e).

(f) Clawback; Recoupment; Forfeiture: Notwithstanding any other provisions in the Plan, Awards granted under the Plan, including those granted prior to the date hereof, shall be subject to the terms of any clawback, recoupment or forfeiture policy adopted by Prudential as in effect from time to time, as well as any clawback, recoupment or forfeiture provisions required by law, government regulation, or stock exchange listing requirement and applicable to the Company Group.

7. Compliance with Applicable Laws

Awards granted under the Plan and Prudential�s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or make payment of cash, as applicable, under these Terms will be subject in all respects to (a)�all Applicable Laws, and (b)�any registration, qualification, approvals or other requirements imposed by any government or regulatory agency or body which the Compensation Committee determines to be necessary or applicable. Shares of Common Stock or cash, as applicable, may not be delivered or paid to a Participant if their receipt would be contrary to any Applicable Laws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.

8. Investment representation

If at the time of delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan, the Common Stock is not registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or there is

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 5


no current prospectus in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the Common Stock, a Participant will, if requested by the Compensation Committee, execute, before the delivery of any shares of Common Stock, an agreement (in the form the Compensation Committee specifies) in which the Participant represents and warrants that the Participant is acquiring the shares for the Participant�s own account, for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of the shares, and agrees that any subsequent offer for sale or distribution of any kind of such shares will be made only pursuant to either (a)�a registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, which registration statement has become effective and is current with regard to the shares being offered or sold; or (b)�a specific exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, but in claiming that exemption, the Participant will, before any offer for sale of the shares, obtain a prior favorable written opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Compensation Committee, from counsel for or approved by the Compensation Committee, as to the applicability of the exemption.

9. Governing law

A Participant acknowledges that Prudential is organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey and maintains its headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. The Participant further acknowledges that Prudential has an interest in ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of these Terms to all Participants. Accordingly, Prudential and the Participant agree that the Plan and these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions.

10. Electronic delivery and acceptance

By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in lieu of receiving documents in paper format to accept electronic delivery of any documents that any member of the Company Group may be required to deliver in connection with the Plan. Electronic delivery of a document may be via e-mail or by reference to a location on a member of the Company Group�s intranet site or a designated third-party vendor�s internet site.

11. No rights as a shareholder

A Participant does not have any rights as a shareholder in Prudential by virtue of the grant

of an Award under the Plan, but only with respect to shares of Common Stock, if any, delivered to the Participant in accordance with the Plan and these Terms.

12. Section�409A

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any delivery of shares or other payment related to an Award will be permitted to the extent necessary to comply with Section�409A. The Compensation Committee may amend, modify, adjust or supplement any provision of the Plan without a Participant�s consent if the Compensation Committee determines that the amendment, modification, adjustment or supplementation is required or advisable for an Award or Prudential to comply with, or not violate, any Applicable Laws, regulation or rule, including, without limitation, Section�409A.

13. Other terms

Participation in the Plan does not entitle an employee of the Company Group to any benefit other than that granted under the Plan. Any benefits granted under the Plan will not be deemed to be compensation under any pension plan or other retirement plan, welfare plan or any compensation plan or program maintained by any member of the Company Group, and will not be considered as part of compensation for the purposes of calculating pension, profit-sharing, bonuses, service awards, or in the event of severance, redundancy or resignation.

Prudential may modify, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any and all of the policies, programs and terms of the Plan in whole or in part, at any time, without notice to or with the consent of Participants. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, any action taken under the Plan or these Terms by the Compensation Committee, Prudential, the Company Group or the Company Group Managers shall be taken at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, Prudential, the Company Group or the Company Group Managers, as applicable.

If shares of Common Stock are, or are to be, delivered in a manner not specifically authorized by the Plan (i.e., in �Error�), Prudential will be entitled to correct the Error, including reversing the transaction and recouping any Common Stock or gain that might be delivered as a result of the Error.

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 6


The English language version of any documents provided in connection with the Plan will prevail in the case of any ambiguities or divergences as a result of the translation of the document into any other language.

Participation in the Plan is not intended to constitute or create a contract of employment nor does it constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the employ of any member of the Company Group for any particular period of time. Participation in the Plan does not affect in any way a member of the Company Group�s right to terminate an employee�s Employment at any time, with or without cause, and does not form part of an employee�s employment contract, if any.

As a term of participation in the Plan, each Participant will indemnify the Company Group for any loss (including but not limited to any costs, damages, expenses, claims, penalties or demands) suffered by any member of the Company Group, and no member of the Company Group will be liable to such Participant (or any beneficiaries thereto) for any such loss suffered by the Participant (or any beneficiaries), as a result of any action taken by the Participant or any failure by the Participant to take any action.

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 10


PART D: Terms and conditions applicable to Performance Shares and Performance Units under the Long-Term Performance Program, a sub-program of the Long-Term Incentive Program

1. Performance Cycle

The Performance Cycle (the Performance Cycle) with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units will begin on January�1, 2015 and will end on December�31, 2017.

2. Settlement of Performance Shares and Performance Units

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and following approval by the Compensation Committee, any (i)�shares of Common Stock to which a Participant is entitled in respect of Performance Shares; and (ii)�amount of cash to which a Participant is entitled in respect of Performance Units will be delivered or paid to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the PS/PU Payment Date, less any taxes or other deductions required by Applicable Laws.

3. Earnout: Performance Goals

A Participant�s Performance Shares and Performance Units are conditioned on achievement of ROE Goals specified by the Compensation Committee, with respect to the Performance Cycle, subject to adjustment by a relative performance modifier. The relative performance modifier may modify the award payout expressed as a percentage of the target number of shares by up to +/- 10%. The award maximum of 1.25 times the target number of shares would be retained after the application of the relative performance modifier.

ROE is defined as Prudential�s �operating return on average equity (based on after-tax adjusted operating income)� as publicly disclosed in Prudential�s Quarterly Financial Supplement (�QFS�). ROE for each year in the Performance Cycle is defined as the average of the quarterly ROE figures for such year published in the QFS. ROE will be adjusted to exclude the non-economic effects of foreign currency exchange rate remeasurements of non-yen liabilities and assets and may be adjusted for certain other items as determined by Prudential.

The number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of cash that a Participant may become eligible to receive will be equal to the applicable target number of Performance Shares and/or Performance Units awarded, adjusted by the applicable ROE Earned Payout Factor (which is determined based on the achievement of the ROE Goals over the Performance Cycle) and modified by the relative performance modifier. Any resulting number of shares of Common Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock and cash payable to the Participant will be the �Final Payout Amount,� which will be made on the PS/PU Payment Date (shortly following the end of the Performance Cycle) subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set out in these Terms and in the Plan, including the requirement that the Participant remain actively employed with the Company Group as of the PS/PU Payment Date. The Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the Final Payout Amount.

The ROE Goals will be the average of actual ROE for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The ROE Goals are as follows:

ROE Goals

ROE Earned

Payout Factor

10.0% or less

0.0

11.0%

0.25

12.0%

0.50

13.0%

0.75

13.5%

1.00

14.0%

1.25

If the average ROE achieved is between any two data points, the corresponding ROE Earned Payout Factor will bear a linear relationship with the actual achievement between such data points.

The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, adjust the reported ROE during the Performance Cycle for items not considered representative of operations, including merger, acquisition and disposition transactions, accounting changes, actuarial assumption updates and market unlockings.

Terms and Conditions of the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Program for Senior Executives 11


The relative performance modifier will be applied after the ROE Earned Payout Factor is determined to calculate the Final Payout Amount. Prudential�s ranking among the seven North American life insurers determines the modifier %. The relative performance modifier metrics, methodology and weightings are as follows:

Metric

��Methodology��

Weighting
Normalized ROE

Average annual ranking over 3 years

50%
Normalized EPS Growth

3-year Compound Annual Growth Rate

25%
Book Value per Share Growth

3-year Compound Annual Growth Rate

25%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may (i)�under normal circumstances, adjust the Final Payout Amount within the standard range of 0% to 125% of the target number of Performance Shares and Performance Units by up to plus or minus 15% of the amount that would otherwise be payable to take into account performance factors and other events, as the Compensation Committee deems desirable, and (ii)�in the event of circumstances deemed to be extraordinary by the Compensation Committee, make additional adjustments to the Final Payout Amount.

4. Vesting or forfeiture of Performance Shares and Performance Units following termination of Employment in specific circumstances

A Participant�s outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units will automatically be forfeited and cancelled on the termination of the Participant�s Employment and no shares of Common Stock and no amount of cash may thereafter be issued or paid with respect to the Performance Shares and Performance Units, respectively, except in the specific circumstances set out in the table on page 13.

5. Section�409A

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section�409A with respect to any individual who is a �specified employee� within the meaning of Section�409A, on termination of the Participant�s employment with any member of the Company Group, delivery of shares of Common Stock may not be made before the date that is six (6)�months after the date of such termination of Employment (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant�s death). In addition, to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section�409A, if an award of Performance Shares or Performance Units is treated as deferred compensation subject to Section�409A, no distribution will be made (although vesting will accelerate to the extent otherwise provided above) in respect of such award upon the occurrence of a Change of Control unless such event qualifies as a change in the ownership of a corporation, change in the effective control of a corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation within the meaning of Section�409A.

6. Dividend Equivalents

A Participant granted Performance Shares and Performance Units will be eligible to receive Dividend Equivalents on the lesser of (a)�the Final Payout Amount; or (b)�the respective target amount of Performance Shares and Performance Units, based on any regular cash dividends declared on Common Stock from the Grant Date until the PS/ PU Payment Date (or until the date of forfeiture, if sooner). Any Dividend Equivalents will be paid in cash as soon as administratively practicable after shares of common stock are delivered in respect of the corresponding Performance Shares and cash is payable with respect to the Performance Units. There will be no reinvestment option or earned interest credits on any Dividend Equivalent.

of Employment

Vesting Status (1)
Voluntary Resignation

All outstanding Book Value Units are immediately forfeited.

Approved Retirement

If the Participant retires in 2015 with less than 3 months of active service in such year, all Book Value Units will immediately be forfeited.

If the Participant retires in 2015 with 3 or more months of service in such year in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the treatment of Book Value Units will depend on the extent to which such Book Value Units are sourced from the Participant�s long-term incentive compensation or annual incentive award. With respect to the portion of Book Value Units sourced from the Participant�s long-term incentive compensation, the Participant will receive, as soon as administratively practicable following each successive BVU Payment Date (but in all events not later than the end of the calendar year in which the applicable BVU Payment Date occurs), a cash payment equal to the product of (I) one third (1/3) of the pro-rated(2) number of the Book Value Units sourced from the Participant�s long-term incentive compensation outstanding at the time of the Participant�s termination of Employment and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately before the applicable BVU Payment Date. The remainder of the Participant�s outstanding Book Value Units sourced from the Participant�s long-term incentive compensation will be forfeited. With respect to the portion of Book Value Units sourced from the Participant�s annual incentive award, the Participant will receive payment in respect of such portion of Book Value Units at the same time and in the same amount that would have been payable had the Participant remained in Employment. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Book Value Units (whether or not sourced from long-term incentive compensation or annual incentive award) will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

If the Participant retires after 2015 in circumstances qualifying for Approved Retirement and executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), the Participant will receive payment in respect of his or her remaining Book Value Units at the same time and in the same amounts that would have been payable had the Participant remained in Employment. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Book Value Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

This does not apply to Participants in the European Union who should refer to Schedule 2 for more information.

Termination for Cause

All outstanding Book Value Units are immediately forfeited.

The Compensation Committee may require the Participant to repay any payment, profit, gain or other benefit in respect of the Book Value Units or any prior Book Value Units or Awards received within a period of twelve (12) months before the Participant�s termination of Employment for Cause. If a Participant�s Employment is terminated by any member of the Company Group for Cause, the provisions in these Terms relating to termination for Cause will apply notwithstanding any assertion (by the Participant or otherwise) that the Participant�s Employment was terminated for any other reason.

Death

(while an active employee)

All outstanding Book Value Units become fully vested and the Participant�s estate will receive a cash payment equal to the product of (I) the number of such outstanding Book Value Units and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately before the date of the Participant�s death. This cash payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the date of the Participant�s death.

Disability

All outstanding Book Value Units become fully vested and the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the product of (I) the number of such outstanding Book Value Units and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately before the Participant�s termination of Employment. This cash payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the Participant�s termination of Employment.

(1) The treatment of a Participant�s Award as set forth in this table may be subject to certain restrictions set forth in Part A of these Terms, including the Notice Period requirement under which a Participant is required to provide advance written notice of the Participant�s termination of employment.
(2) Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service during that year divided by 12. The remaining balance will be forfeited as of the date of retirement.

If a Participant executes and submits a Release by the date specified by Prudential (and does not later revoke the Release), a pro-rated(3) number of such Participant�s then outstanding Book Value Units will vest and the Participant will receive a cash payment equal to the product of (I) such pro-rated number of such outstanding Book Value Units and (II) the Book Value Per Share as of the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately prior to the Participant�s termination of Employment. This cash payment will be made as soon as administratively practicable (but not later than 74 days) after the Participant�s termination of Employment. The remainder of the Participant�s outstanding Book Value Units will be forfeited. If the Participant does not execute a Release, all Book Value Units will be forfeited on the last date of Employment.

Change of Control

All Book Value Units will become vested and the Participant will normally receive a payment in cash based on the Book Value Per Share on the fiscal quarter ended on or immediately prior to the Change of Control; unless the entity that acquires control honors, assumes, or substitutes new rights for the Book Value Units with substantially equivalent or better rights, terms, conditions and values as determined by the Compensation Committee.

(3) Pro-ration is based on the number of months of active service since the Grant Date (or, if less, since the last BVU Payment Date) divided by the remainder of (i)�36 minus (ii)�the product of (A)�12 and (B)�the number of anniversaries of the Grant Date that have occurred prior to the date of termination of Employment.

Prudential Financial adopts expanded incentive

compensation clawback policy

NEWARK, N.J. � Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) announced today that the Board of Directors of the company has adopted a new clawback policy covering all incentive-based compensation made to its executive officers in the form of stock options and other equity awards. The policy, which marks an expansion of Prudential�s previous clawback policy, was adopted by the Board as part of its annual review of the company�s executive compensation programs, careful consideration of input from shareholders and commitment to corporate governance best practices.

The company�s previous clawback policy applied to a material restatement of its annual consolidated income and pertained solely to compensation awarded under the company�s book value award program. The new policy also enables the Board to recover all or a portion of incentive-based compensation paid to an executive if he or she engages in conduct that has had or could have a significant adverse reputational or economic impact on the company, its divisions or any of its affiliates. In addition, all incentive-based compensation paid during the three-year period preceding the restatement or the occurrence of the improper conduct can be clawed back.

The policy requires the company to disclose to its shareholders by the time it files its subsequent proxy statement any actions the Board takes or decides not to take to recoup compensation. A full copy of the expanded clawback policy is available on the �Corporate Governance Principles�& Policies� link on the Corporate Governance page of the company�s website.
