Explanation of Responses:
(1)  The Compensation Committee determined the number of shares received based on the Company's return on equity ("ROE") performance relative to a pre-determined goal and relative to the ROE performance of certain life insurance peer companies for the 2018 through 2020 performance period, as adjusted based on the results of an inclusion and diversity modifier.
(2)  Includes cash settled performance units which were converted from cash to equity settlement based on a decision by the Compensation Committee.
(3)  Represents shares withheld for the payment of taxes.
(4)  Amount reported has been adjusted to include 1 share of Issuer common stock acquired by the reporting person under The Prudential Employee Savings Plan between September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 based on a plan statement dated December 31, 2020. The acquisition of such shares was exempt from Section 16 pursuant to Rules 16b-3(c) and 16a-3(f)(1)(i)(B).
(5)  The Restricted Stock Units convert to common stock on a 1 to 1 basis.
