This filing is being made under the Securities Act of 1933 to register ~~$39,811,877~~$472,841,585 of interests in market value adjusted annuity contracts. The interests being registered herein are carried over, as unsold securities, from an existing Form S-3 registration statement of the same issuer ~~(333-220117)~~(333-220100) filed on September 29, 2017. Because a filing fee of ~~$4,614~~$54,802 previously was paid with respect to those securities, there is no filing fee under this registration statement. In accordance with Rule 415 (a)(6), the offering of securities on the earlier registration statement will be deemed terminated as of the effective date of this registration statement.

Audited financial statements for variable annuity separate accounts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 are not included in this Form S-3 registration statement. Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey incorporates by reference its annual report for the year ending 12/31/19 on Form 10-K and its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of Exchange Act and all documents subsequently filed by Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. As disclosed in Note 11, “REVISION TO PRIOR YEAR INFORMATION”, to the Financial Statements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company has revised certain prior period amounts in the Statements of Cash Flows to correct an immaterial error identified in the presentation of certain cash flow activity related to policyholders’ account balances. Similarly, the Company will revise the prior periods presented within the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020 and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The impact to the previously issued financial statements was not considered material. However, to improve comparability with future periods, the Company decided to revise the affected periods of the Statements of Cash Flows within the second quarter 10-Q filing for the Company.

The following tables illustrate the effects of the revision for the affected periods.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of each prospectus included in this registration statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The principal underwriter for these securities, Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its best efforts to sell the securities offered. The offering under this registration statement will conclude three years from the effective date of this registration statement, unless terminated earlier by the Registrant. See each prospectus included in Part 1 hereof for the date of the prospectus.

The registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission may determine.

~~751 Broad Street, Newark, NJ 07102-3777~~

~~Market Value Adjusted Fixed Allocation Investment Option Under Certain Variable~~Supplement dated October 2, 2020

to Prospectuses dated October 2, 2020

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the current Prospectus for your Annuity ~~Contracts~~and should be retained for future reference. This Supplement is intended to update certain information in the Prospectus for the variable annuity you own and is not intended to be a prospectus or offer for any other variable annuity that you do not own. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information. If you would like another copy of the current Annuity Prospectus, please call us at 1-888-PRU-2888.

On March 27, 2020 (Date of Enactment), Congress passed and President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This law includes provisions that impact Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs), Roth IRAs and employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.

Waiver of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for 2020

The requirement to take minimum distributions from defined contribution plans and IRAs is waived for 2020. The waiver would apply to any RMD due from such an arrangement in 2020, even RMDs with respect to the 2019 tax year that are due in 2020. For example, if an IRA owner turned age 70½ in 2019, they owe an RMD for the 2019 tax year but can wait until 4/1/20 to take it. If they did not take that first RMD in 2019, the bill waives it, along with the requirement to take their second RMD (for the 2020 tax year) by the end of 2020. The relief applies both to lifetime and post-death RMDs. In that regard, if the post-death 5-year rule applies, the 5-year period is determined without regard to calendar year 2020 and thus, the 5 year rule is extended by one year. It is unclear whether this treatment applies for the 10-year period imposed by the SECURE Act. Although also unclear, the 1-year election rule for life expectancy payments by an eligible beneficiary may be extended based on the position the IRS took in Notice 2009-82.

Withdrawals from Employer Plans and IRAs, including Roth IRAs

Relief is provided for “coronavirus-related distributions” from qualified plans and IRAs. The relief applies to such distributions made at any time during the 2020 calendar year, as follows:

Permits such distributions to be treated as in-service distributions, even if such amounts are not otherwise distributable from the plan under sections 401(k), 403(b), or 457, as applicable;

Provides an exception to the 10% early distribution penalty under Code section 72(t) (but not for the similar penalty tax under Code section 72(q) that applies to non-qualified annuities);

Exempts such distributions from the 402(f) notice requirements and mandatory 20% withholding applicable to eligible rollover distributions, as applicable;

Permits the individual to include income attributable to such distributions ratably over the three-year period beginning with the year the distribution would otherwise be taxable (this spreading would apply unless the taxpayer elects out); and

Permits recontribution of such distribution to a plan or IRA within three years, in which case the recontribution is generally treated as a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer within 60 days of the distribution.

The distribution must come from an “eligible retirement plan” within the meaning of Code section 402(c)(8)(B), i.e., an IRA, 401(a) plan, 403(a) plan, 403(b) plan, or governmental 457(b) plan. The relief would be limited to aggregate distributions of $100,000. See below for a description of who is eligible for the relief.

Plan Loans

The following relief is provided with respect to plan loans (if available under a contract) taken by any “qualified individual” who is affected by the coronavirus:

For loans made during the 180-day period beginning on the date of enactment, the maximum loan amount would be increased from $50,000 or 50% of the vested account balance to $100,000 or 100% of the vested account balance. Note that Department of Labor regulations require that plan loans be secured by no more than half of the account balance. It is not clear whether this is an impediment to increasing the loan limit to 100% of the account balance. We understand that DOL is aware of this issue.

The due date for any repayment on a loan that otherwise is due between the date of enactment and December 31, 2020, would be delayed for one year. This also would extend the maximum loan period (normally five years).

Based on prior IRS guidance involving similar relief for natural disasters, all of the changes would be optional for plans See below for a description of who is eligible for the plan loan relief.

HORIZONNY

Eligible Individuals for Withdrawal and Loan Relief

The administrator of an eligible retirement plan may rely on an employee’s certification that the employee satisfies the conditions for eligibility. The eligibility criteria for the relief remain the same, meaning the individual must fall within one of the following categories:

The individual is diagnosed with the virus SARS-CoV-2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by a test approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;

The individual’s spouse or dependent is diagnosed with such virus or disease; or

The individual experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, being furloughed or laid off or having work hours reduced due to such virus or disease, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to such virus or disease, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to such virus or disease, or other factors as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury.

IRS Guidance

Extension of IRA Contribution Deadline

The deadline for making an IRA or Roth IRA contribution has been extended until July 15, 2020, the extended deadline for filing an individual’s 2019 tax return.

STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY PROSPECTUS

PART I: STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

GLOSSARY

We ~~set forth here definitions~~have tried to make this prospectus as easy to read and understand as possible. By the nature of the contract, however, certain technical words or terms are unavoidable. We have identified the following as some of the key words or terms. Other defined terms ~~used throughout this prospectus.~~

~~Account Value:~~ ~~The value of your allocations to investment options under your Annuity, including your allocation to the MVA Fixed Allocation. The specific calculation of Account Value of your Annuity is~~are set forth in your contract.

Accumulation Phase

The period that begins with the contract date (which we define below) and ends when you start receiving income payments, or earlier if the contract is terminated through a full withdrawal or payment of a death benefit.

Annuitant

The person whose life determines the amount of income payments that we will pay. If the annuitant dies before the annuity date, the co-annuitant (if any) becomes the annuitant if the contract’s requirements for changing the annuity date are met. If, upon the death of the annuitant, there is no surviving eligible co-annuitant, and the owner is not the annuitant, then the owner becomes the annuitant.

Annuity ~~Prospectus.~~Date

The date when income payments are scheduled to begin. You must have our permission to change the annuity date. If the co-annuitant becomes the annuitant due to the death of the annuitant, and the co-annuitant is older than the annuitant, then the annuity date will be based on the age of the co-annuitant, provided that the contract’s requirements for changing the annuity date are met (e.g., the co-annuitant cannot be older than a specified age). If the co-annuitant is younger than the annuitant, then the annuity date will remain unchanged.

Beneficiary

The person(s) or entity you have chosen to receive a death benefit.

Business Day

A day that we are open for business. Our business day generally ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Co-Annuitant

The person shown on the contract data pages who becomes the annuitant (if eligible) upon the death of the annuitant if the requirements for changing the annuity date are met. We may also refer to a co-annuitant as a “contingent annuitant.”

Code

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Contract Date

The date we accept your initial purchase payment and all necessary paperwork in good order at the Prudential Annuity Service Center. Contract anniversaries are measured from the contract date. A contract year starts on the contract date or on a contract anniversary.

Contract Owner, Owner or you

The person entitled to the ownership rights under the contract.

Contract Surrender Value

This is the total value of your contract adjusted by any market-value adjustment, minus any withdrawal charge(s) and premium taxes.

Contract Value

~~Fixed Allocation:~~The total value of the amount in a contract allocated to a guarantee period as of a particular date.

Death Benefit

If a death benefit is payable, the beneficiary you designate will receive the contract value as the death benefit. If the contract is owned by an entity (e.g. a corporation or trust), rather than by an individual, then we will pay the death benefit upon the death of the annuitant. See Section 4, “What Is The Death Benefit?”

Free Look

Under state insurance laws, you have the right, during a limited period of time, to examine your contract and decide if you want to keep it or cancel it. This right is referred to as your “Free Look” right.

Good Order

An ~~investment option~~instruction received at the Prudential Annuity Service Center, utilizing such forms, signatures and dating as we require, which is sufficiently clear that ~~offers a fixed rate of interest for a specified~~ we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions.

Guarantee Period

A period of time during which your invested purchase payment earns interest at the declared rate. We currently make available guarantee periods equal to any or all of the following: 1 year (currently available only as a renewal option), 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, and 10 years. A guarantee period that does not exceed five years will always be available as a renewal option. During the 30 day period immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period, we allow you to make an additional purchase payment, which will be allocated to another guarantee period available at that time (provided that the new guarantee period ends prior to the contract anniversary next following the annuitant’s 90th birthday (or ten years after the contract date, if later) and that you reinvest at least $1000).

Income Options

Options under the contract that define the frequency and duration of income payments. In your contract, we also refer to these as payout or annuity options.

Invested Purchase Payment

Your purchase payment (which we define below) less any deduction we make for any tax charge. In addition to the initial invested purchase payment, we allow you to make additional purchase payments during the 30 days preceding the end of a guarantee period.

Purchase Payments

The amount of money you pay us to purchase the contract, as well as any additional payment you make.

Tax Deferral

This is a way to increase your assets without currently being taxed. Generally, you do not pay taxes on your contract earnings until you take money out of your contract.

SUMMARY FOR SECTIONS 1–9

For a more complete discussion of the following topics, see the corresponding section in the prospectus.

SECTION 1

What Is The Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity?

This market value adjusted annuity contract, offered by Pruco Life of New Jersey, is a contract between you, as the owner, and us. The contract is intended for retirement savings or other long-term investment purposes and provides a death benefit and guaranteed income options.

While your money remains in the contract for the full guarantee period, your principal amount is guaranteed and the minimum interest amount that your money will earn is dictated by applicable state law. Payments allocated to the contract are held as a separate pool of assets, but the income, gains or losses experienced by these assets are not directly credited or charged against the contracts. As a result, the strength of our guarantees under the contract are based on the overall financial strength of Pruco Life of New Jersey.

The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the accumulation phase and the income phase. During the accumulation phase, earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as income when you make a withdrawal. The income phase starts when you begin receiving regular payments from your contract. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the accumulation phase will help determine the amount of the payments you will receive during the income phase. Other factors will affect the amount of your payments such as age, gender and the payout option you selected.

We may amend the contract as permitted by law. For example, we may add new features to the contract. Subject to applicable law, we determine whether or not to make such contract amendments available to contracts that already have been issued.

Free Look. If you change your mind about owning Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity, you may cancel your contract within 10 days after receiving it (or whatever period is required by applicable law). You can request a refund by returning the contract either to the representative who sold it to you, or to the Prudential Annuity Service Center at the address shown on the first page of this prospectus. You will receive the amount your contract is worth as of the day you submit your request.

We impose neither a withdrawal charge nor any market value adjustment if you cancel your contract under the “free look” provision. To the extent dictated by state law, we will include in your refund the amount of any fees and charges that we deducted.

SECTION 2

What Guarantee Periods Can I Choose?

You can allocate your initial purchase payment to one of the guarantee periods available under the contract. We have the right under the contract to offer one or more of the following guarantee periods: 1 year (currently available only as a renewal option), 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, or 10 years, and we may offer other guarantee periods in the future. At any time, we may offer any or all of these guarantee periods. You may not allocate your purchase payment to more than one guarantee period.

SECTION 3

What Kind Of Payments Will I Receive During The Income Phase? (Annuitization)

If you want to receive regular income from your annuity, you can choose one of several options, including guaranteed payments for the annuitant’s lifetime. Once you begin receiving regular payments, you cannot change your payment plan.

SECTION 4

What Is The Death Benefit?

If the sole owner or the first of the joint owners dies, the designated person(s) or the beneficiary will receive the contract value as the death benefit. If the contract is owned by an entity (e.g., a corporation or trust), rather than by an individual, then we will pay the death benefit upon the death of the annuitant.

SECTION 5

How Can I Purchase A Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract?

You can purchase this contract, under most circumstances, with a minimum initial purchase payment of $5,000, but not greater than $5 million, absent our prior approval. We allow you to make additional purchase payments only during the 30 days immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period. ~~This prospectus covers Fixed Allocations~~Your representative can help you fill out the proper forms.

SECTION 6

What Are The Expenses Associated With The Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract?

During the accumulation phase, if you withdraw money, you may have to pay a withdrawal charge on all or part of the withdrawal. The withdrawal charge that we impose depends on the guarantee period during which you are withdrawing your money. The withdrawal charge ranges from 0%-7%. You also will be subject to a market value adjustment if you ~~withdraw Account Value~~make a withdrawal prior to the ~~maturity~~end of ~~the Fixed Allocation (MVA Fixed Allocation). Your Annuity~~a guarantee period.

SECTION 7

How Can I Access My Money?

You may ~~include Fixed Allocations that are not subject to a market value adjustment, such as abenefit fixed rate account, and those Fixed Allocations are covered by your Annuity Prospectus, not this prospectus.~~

~~Guarantee Period:~~ ~~A period of~~withdraw money at any time during the accumulation ~~period where we credit~~phase. You may, however, be subject to income tax and, if you make a ~~fixed rate of interest on~~withdrawal prior to age 59¹/₂, you may be subject to a ~~Fixed Allocation.~~

~~Interim Value:~~ ~~The value of~~10% additional tax as well. Each contract year after the ~~MVA Fixed Allocations on any date other than the Maturity Date. The Interim Value is~~first, you may withdraw without charge, an amount equal to the ~~initial value allocated~~interest you earned during the previous contract year (the “charge-free amount”). During years when a withdrawal charge applies (see “6: What Are the Expenses Associated with the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract? – Withdrawal Charge”), withdrawals greater than the charge-free amount will be subject to a withdrawal charge. A market-value adjustment may also apply.

SECTION 8

What Are The Tax Considerations Associated With The Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract?

Your earnings are generally not taxed until withdrawn. If you withdraw money during the accumulation phase, the tax law treats the withdrawal as earnings first and earnings are taxed as ordinary income If you are younger than age 59¹/₂ when you withdraw money, you may be subject to a 10% additional federal tax on the earnings in addition to ordinary income taxation. A portion of the payments you receive during the income phase is considered a partial return of your original investment. Generally, all amounts withdrawn from an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA) contract (excluding Roth IRAs) are taxable and subject to the ~~MVA Fixed Allocation plus all~~10% additional tax if withdrawn prior to age 59¹/₂.

This contract is issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey, a subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America, and sold by registered representatives of affiliated and unaffiliated broker/dealers.

RISK FACTORS

There are various risks associated with an investment in the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity that we summarize below.

Issuer Risk.Your Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity is available under a contract issued by Pruco Life of New Jersey, and thus is backed by the financial strength of that company. If Pruco Life of New Jersey were to experience significant financial adversity, it is possible that Pruco Life of New Jersey’s ability to pay interest ~~credited~~and principal under the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity could be impaired.

Risks Related To Changing Interest Rates.You do not participate directly in the investment experience of the bonds and other instruments that Pruco Life of New Jersey holds to support the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity. Nonetheless, the market value adjustment formula (which is detailed in the appendix to this prospectus) reflects the effect that prevailing interest rates have on those bonds and other instruments. If you need to withdraw your money during a period in which prevailing interest rates have risen above their level when you made your purchase, you will experience a “negative” market value adjustment. When we impose this market value adjustment, it could result in the loss of both the interest you have earned and a portion of your purchase payments. Thus, before you commit to a particular guarantee period, you should consider carefully whether you have the ability to remain invested throughout the guarantee period. In addition, we cannot, of course, assure you that the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity will perform better than another investment that you might have made.

Risks Related To The Withdrawal Charge.We may impose withdrawal charges that range as high as 7%. If you anticipate needing to withdraw your money prior to the ~~MVA Fixed Allocation~~end of a guarantee period, you should be prepared to pay the withdrawal charge that we will impose.

PART IISECTIONS 1 - 9

STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY PROSPECTUS

1: WHAT IS THE STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY?

The Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and us, the insurance company, Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey (Pruco Life of New Jersey, we or us).

Under our contract or agreement, in exchange for your payment to us, we promise to pay you a guaranteed income stream that can begin any time after the first contract anniversary. Your annuity is in the accumulation phase until you decide to begin receiving annuity payments. The date you begin receiving annuity payments is the annuity date. On the annuity date, your contract switches to the income phase.

This annuity contract benefits from tax deferral. Tax deferral means that you are not taxed on earnings or appreciation on the assets in your contract until you withdraw money from your contract. (If you purchase the annuity contract in a tax-favored plan such as an IRA, that plan generally provides tax deferral even without investing in an annuity contract. Therefore, before purchasing an annuity in a tax-favored plan, you should consider whether its features and benefits beyond tax deferral meet your needs and goals. You may also want to consider the relative features, benefits and costs of these annuities compared with any other investment that you may use in connection with your retirement plan or arrangement.)

Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity allows you to allocate a purchase payment to one of several guarantee periods that we offer at the time. As the owner of the contract, you have all of the decision-making rights under the contract. You will also be the annuitant unless you designate someone else. The owner is the person upon whose death during the accumulation phase, the death benefit generally is payable. The annuitant is the person whose life is used to determine the amount of annuity payments and how long the payments will continue. On and after the annuity date, the annuitant may not be changed.

The beneficiary is the person(s) or entity designated to receive any death benefit if the owner (or first-to-die of joint owners) dies during the accumulation phase. You may change the beneficiary any time prior to the annuity date by making a written request to us. Your request becomes effective when we approve it.

SHORT TERM CANCELLATION RIGHT OR “FREE LOOK”

If you change your mind about owning Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity, you may cancel your contract within 10 days after receiving it (or whatever period may be required by applicable law). You can request a refund by returning the contract either to the representative who sold it to you, or to the Prudential Annuity Service Center at the address shown on the first page of this prospectus. You will receive the amount your contract is worth as of the ~~date calculated,~~day we receive your request, less any ~~transfers or withdrawals from the MVA Fixed Allocation. The interim value does not include the effect of~~applicable federal and state income tax withholding.

We impose neither a withdrawal charge nor any ~~MVA.~~

~~Maturity Date:~~ ~~The last day of the Guarantee Period.~~

~~MVA or Market Value Adjustment:~~ ~~A market value adjustment used in the determination of value of an MVA Fixed Allocation on any day more than 30 days prior to the Maturity Date of such MVA Fixed Allocation.~~

~~MVA Fixed Allocation:~~ ~~An investment option that offers a fixed rate of interest for a specified Guarantee Period during the accumulation period that is subject to a~~ market value adjustment if you ~~withdraw Account Value prior~~cancel your contract under this provision. To the extent dictated by state law, we will include in your refund the amount of any fees and charges that we deducted.

2: WHAT GUARANTEE PERIODS CAN I CHOOSE?

The contract gives you the choice of allocating your purchase payment to ~~the maturity~~one of the ~~Fixed Allocation. Your~~guarantee periods that we are offering at the time.

GUARANTEE PERIODS

Under the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity contract, we have the right to offer one or more of several guarantee periods. These guarantee periods are 1 year (currently available only as a renewal option), 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, or 10 years in length. In the future, we may ~~include Fixed Allocations that~~offer other guarantee periods on substantially the same terms as described in this prospectus. We are not ~~subject~~obligated to ~~a market value adjustment, such as abenefit fixed rate account, and those Fixed Allocations are covered by your Annuity Prospectus, not this prospectus.~~

~~Owner:~~ With an Annuity issued as an individual annuity contract, the Owner is either an eligible entity or individual named as having ownership rights in relation to the Annuity. With an Annuity issued as a certificate under a group annuity contract, the “Owner” refers to the person or entity who has the rights and benefits designated as to the “Participant” in the certificate.

~~Allocating Your Account Value to the MVA Fixed Allocation~~

~~How Do the MVA Fixed Allocations Work?~~

~~We credit a fixed interest rate to the MVA Fixed Allocation so long as you remain invested for a set~~offer more than one guarantee period of time called a “Guarantee Period.” The last day of the Guarantee Period is called the “Maturity Date.” MVA Fixed Allocations currently are offered with Guarantee Periods from 1 to 10 years. We may make MVA Fixed Allocations of different durations available in the future, including MVA Fixed Allocations offered exclusively for use with certain optional investment programs. MVA Fixed Allocations may not be available in all states and may not always be available for all Guarantee Periods depending on market factors and other considerations.

The interest rate credited to an MVA Fixed Allocation is the rate in effect when the Guarantee Period begins and does not change so long as you remain invested for the Guarantee Period. The rates are an effective annual rate of interest. We determine the interest rates, in our sole discretion, for the various Guarantee Periods. At the time that we confirm your MVA Fixed Allocation, we will advise you of the interest rate in effect and the Maturity Date. We may change the rates we credit to MVA Fixed Allocations at any time. ~~Any change in interest rate does not affect MVA Fixed Allocations that were in effect before the date of the change. To inquire as~~We will apply your purchase payment to the ~~current rates for MVA Fixed Allocations, please contact our Annuity Service Center at 1-888-PRU-2888 or at www.prudential.com.~~

guarantee period you have chosen. You must allocate all of your initial purchase payment to a single guarantee period. A Guarantee Period ~~for an MVA Fixed Allocation~~ begins:

when all or part of a ~~net~~ purchase payment is allocated to ~~a particular Guarantee Period;~~

~~upon transfer of any of your Account Value to an MVA Fixed Allocation for a~~that particular Guarantee Period; or

when you “renew” ~~an MVA Fixed Allocation by electing~~into a new Guarantee Period.

ToWe periodically declare, in our sole discretion, the ~~extent permitted~~interest rate for each available guarantee period. We also guarantee that you will receive an interest rate at least equal to the minimum stipulated by ~~law, we may establish different~~applicable state law. You will earn interest ~~rates for MVA Fixed Allocations offered to a class of Owners who choose to participate in various optional investment programs we make available.~~

Prudential Annuities may offer MVA Fixed Allocations with Guarantee Periods of 3 months or 6 months exclusively for use as a short-term MVA Fixed Allocation (“Short-term MVA Fixed Allocations”). Short-term MVA Fixed Allocations may only be established withon your ~~initial~~invested purchase payment or additional purchase payments. You may not transfer existing Account Value to a Short-term MVA Fixed Allocation. We reserve the right to terminate offering these special purpose MVA Fixed Allocations at any time.

~~On the Maturity Date of the Short-term MVA Fixed Allocation, the remaining Account Value will be transferred to the investment options you choose~~ at the ~~inception of~~rate that we have declared for the program. If no instructions are provided, such Account Value will be transferred to the AST Government Money Market Sub-account, which is described in your Annuity Prospectus. Short-term MVA Fixed Allocations may not be renewed on the Maturity Date. Ifguarantee period you surrender the Annuity or make an unscheduled transfer of any Account Value from the Short-term MVA Fixed Allocation to any other investment option before the end of the Guarantee Period, a Market Value Adjustment will apply.

~~How Do You Determine Rates For the MVA Fixed Allocations?~~

have chosen. We do not have a ~~specific~~rigid formula for determining the fixed interest ~~rates for MVA Fixed Allocations.~~rates. Generally the interest rates we offer ~~for MVA Fixed Allocations~~ will reflect the investment returns available on the types of investments we make to support our fixed rate guarantees. These investment types may include cash, debt securities guaranteed by the United States government and its agencies and instrumentalities, money market instruments, mortgage-backed securities, mortgage loans, corporate debt obligations of different durations, private placements, asset-backed obligations, and municipal bonds. In determining rates we also consider factors such as the length of the ~~Guarantee Period for the MVA Fixed Allocation,~~guarantee period, regulatory and tax requirements, liquidity of the markets for the type of investments we make, commissions, administrative and investment expenses, our insurance risks, ~~in relation to the MVA Fixed Allocations,~~ general economic trends and competition. Some of these considerations are similar to those we consider in determining the insurance charge that we deduct from Account Value allocated to other investment options, as described in your Annuity Prospectus. For some of the same reasons that we deduct the insurance charge against the Account Value allocated to other investment options, we also take into consideration mortality, expense, administration, profit and other factors in determining the interest rates we credit to MVA Fixed Allocations, and therefore, we credit lower interest rates due to the existence of these factors than we otherwise would.

We will credit interest on a new ~~MVA Fixed Allocation in an existing Annuity~~guarantee period at a rate not less than the rate we are then crediting to ~~MVA Fixed Allocations for~~guarantee periods of the same ~~Guarantee Period~~length selected by new ~~Annuity~~ purchasers in the same class.

In addition to the basic interest, we also may pay additional interest with respect to guarantee periods other than the one year and three year periods. The amount of the additional interest varies according to the amount of your purchase payment. Specifically, we may pay additional interest equal to 0.50% annually for a purchase payment of $25,000 to $74,999, and 1.00% annually for a purchase payment of $75,000 or more. If we grant additional interest to you, you will earn that interest only during the first year of your contract (and during the first year of the initial renewal guarantee period, other than the one and three year periods). We are not obligated to offer this additional interest continuously, meaning that we reserve the

right to offer additional interest only during limited time periods of our choosing. We also reserve the right to change the amount of the additional interest. As of August 24, 2009, we are no longer granting additional interest with respect to purchases of new contracts.

We express interest rates as annual rates, although we credit interest within each guarantee period on a daily basis. The daily interest that we credit is equal to the pro rated portion of the interest that would be earned on an annual basis. We credit interest from the business day on which your purchase payment is received in good order at the Prudential Annuity Service Center until the earliest to occur of any of the following events: (a) full surrender of the contract, (b) commencement of annuity payments or settlement, (c) cessation of the guarantee period, or (d) death of the first to die of the owner and joint owner (or annuitant, for entity-owned contracts). At the time that we confirm your guarantee period, we will advise you of the interest rate in effect and the date your guarantee period matures. We may change the rates we credit to a new guarantee period at any time. Any change in interest rate does not affect guarantee periods that were in effect before the date of the change. To inquire as to the current rates for ~~an MVA Fixed Allocation may~~guarantee periods, please call 1-888-PRU-2888 or at www.prudentialannuities.com.

During the 30-day period immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period, we allow you to do any of the following, without the imposition of the withdrawal charge or market value adjustment: (a) surrender the contract, in whole or in part, (b) allocate the contract value to another guarantee period available at that time (provided that the new guarantee period ends prior to the contract anniversary next following the annuitant’s 90th birthday (or ten years after the contract date, if later) and that you reinvest at least $1,000), or (c) apply the contract value to the annuity or settlement option of your choice. If we do not receive instructions from you concerning the disposition of the contract value in your maturing guarantee period, we will reinvest the contract value in a guarantee period having the same duration as the guarantee period that matured (provided that the new guarantee period ends prior to the contract anniversary next following the annuitant’s 90th birthday (or ten years after the contract date, if later) and that you reinvest at least $1,000). If any available new guarantee period would end on or after the contract anniversary next following the annuitant's 90th birthday (or ten years after the contract date, if later), then we will make only the one year guarantee period available as the renewal period. We will not impose a withdrawal charge on amounts you withdraw from the one year guarantee period described in the immediately preceding sentence, although such a withdrawal would be subject to a ~~minimum rate~~market value adjustment.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

When you allocate a purchase payment to a guarantee period, we use that money to buy and sell securities and other instruments to support our obligation to pay interest. Generally, we buy bonds and certain other instruments for this purpose. The duration of the bonds and other instruments that we buy with respect to a particular guarantee period is influenced significantly by the length of the guarantee period. For example, we typically would acquire longer-duration bonds with respect to the 10 year guarantee period than we do for the 3 year guarantee period. The value of these bonds is affected by changes in interest rates, among other factors. The market value adjustment that we assess against your contract value if you withdraw prior to the end of a guarantee period involves our attributing to you a portion of our investment experience on these bonds and other instruments.

For example, if you make a full withdrawal when interest rates have risen since the time of your investment, the bonds and other investments in the guarantee period likely would have decreased in value, meaning that we would impose a “negative” market value adjustment on you (i.e., one that results in a reduction of the withdrawal proceeds that you receive). For a partial withdrawal, we would deduct a negative market value adjustment from your remaining contract value. Conversely, if interest rates have decreased, the market value adjustment could be positive.

Other things you should know about the market value adjustment include the following:

We determine the market value adjustment according to a mathematical formula, which is set forth at the end of this prospectus under the heading “Market-Value Adjustment Formula.” In that section of the prospectus, we also provide hypothetical examples of how the formula works.

A negative market value adjustment could cause you to lose not only the interest you have earned but also a portion of your principal.

You may ~~vary~~withdraw (after the first contract year), without the imposition of any market value adjustment, an amount equal to the interest earned under your contract during the immediately preceding contract year.

In addition to imposing a market value adjustment on withdrawals, we also will impose a market value adjustment on the contract value you apply to an annuity or settlement option, except if you annuitize during the 30-day period preceding the end of a guarantee period (See Section 3 for details).

You should realize, however, that apart from the market value adjustment, the value of the benefits under your contract does not depend on the investment performance of the bonds and other instruments that we hold with respect to your guarantee period. Apart from the effect of any market value adjustment, we do not pass through to you the gains or losses on the bonds and other instruments that we hold in connection with a guarantee period.

3: WHAT KIND OF PAYMENTS WILL I RECEIVE DURING THE INCOME PHASE? (ANNUITIZATION)

PAYMENT PROVISIONS

We can begin making annuity payments any time after the first contract anniversary. Annuity payments must begin no later than the contract anniversary coinciding with or next following the annuitant’s 90^th birthday or ten years after the contract date, if later).

We make the income plans described below available before the annuity date. These plans are called annuity options. You must choose an annuity option at least 30 days in advance of the annuity date. If you do not, we will select Option 2 below on your behalf unless prohibited by ~~state.~~applicable law. During the income phase, all of the annuity options under this contract are fixed annuity options. GENERALLY, ONCE THE ANNUITY PAYMENTS BEGIN, THE ANNUITY OPTION CANNOT BE CHANGED AND YOU CANNOT MAKE WITHDRAWALS.

If the annuitant dies or assigns the contract prior to the annuity date, and the new annuitant is older than the original annuitant, then the annuity date will be based on the new annuitant’s age. If the annuitant dies or assigns the contract prior to the annuity date, and the new annuitant is younger than the original annuitant, then the annuity date will remain unchanged. In ~~certain states,~~no event, however, may an original or revised annuity date be later than the contract anniversary next following the annuitant’s 90^th birthday (or ten years after the contract date, if later).

Option 1

Annuity Payments For A Fixed Period:Under this option, we will make equal payments for the period chosen, up to 25 years. The annuity payments may be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, as you choose, for the fixed period. If the annuitant dies during the income phase, a lump sum payment generally will be made to the beneficiary. The amount of the lump sum payment is determined by calculating the present value of the unpaid future payments. This is done by using the interest rate ~~may~~used to compute the actual payments. The interest rate will be ~~subject to~~at least 3% a ~~minimum under state law or regulation.~~year.

~~How Does the Market Value Adjustment Work?~~

~~If you transfer or withdraw Account Value from an MVA Fixed Allocation more than 30 days before the end of its Guarantee Period,~~Option 2

Life Annuity With 120 Payments (10 Years):Under this option, we will ~~adjust~~make annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually as long as the annuitant is alive. If the annuitant dies before we have made 10 years worth of payments, we will pay the beneficiary in one lump sum the present value of the annuity payments scheduled to have been made over the remaining portion of that 10 year period, unless we were specifically instructed that such remaining annuity payments continue to be paid to the beneficiary. The present value of the remaining annuity payments is calculated by using the interest rate used to compute the amount of the original 120 payments. If this contract is issued as a Qualified Annuity Contract and annuity payments begin after age 92, then this Option 2 will be modified to permit a period certain that will end no later than the life expectancy of the annuitant defined under the IRS Required Minimum Distribution tables.

Other Annuity Options:We currently offer other annuity options not described above. At the time annuity payments are chosen, we may make available to you any of a variety of annuity and settlement options that are available on your ~~investment based~~annuity date. For example, we offer an interest payment option, under which we credit interest on the contract value until you request payment of all or part of the contract value. We can make interest payments on a ~~formula, called a “Market Value Adjustment”~~monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or ~~“MVA”.~~annual basis or allow interest to accrue on your contract assets. Under ~~certain optional benefits described in~~ the ~~Annuity Prospectus, a formula transfers amounts between the MVA Fixed Allocations and other investment options.~~

~~MVA FORMULA FOR LONG-TERM MVA OPTIONS~~

~~The MVA formula is applied separately to each MVA Option to determine the Account Value of the MVA Option on a particular date.~~

~~The MVA factor is equal to:~~

~~[(1+I)/(1+J+K)]~~^{^(N/12)}

~~where:~~



I =	~~the Crediting Rate for the MVA Option;~~

J =	~~the Rate for the remaining Guarantee Period, determined as described below;~~

K =	~~the Liquidity Factor, currently equal to 0.0025; and~~

N =	~~the number of months remaining in the Guarantee Period duration, rounded up to the nearest whole month~~

~~For the purposes of determining “J”,~~



Y	=	~~N /12~~



GP₁	=	~~the smallest whole number of years greater than or equal to Y.~~



r₁	=	~~the rate for Guarantee Periods of duration GP~~₁~~, which will equal the crediting rate if such Guarantee Period duration is currently available.~~



GP₂	=	~~the greatest whole number of years less than or equal to Y, but not less than 1.~~



r₂	=	~~the rate for Guarantee Periods of duration GP~~₂~~, which will equal the crediting rate if such Guarantee Period duration is currently available.~~

~~If we do not currently offer a Guarantee Period of duration GP~~₁ ~~or duration GP~~₂,interest payment option, we will ~~determine r~~₁ ~~and / or r~~₂ ~~by linearly interpolating between the current rates~~pay you interest of ~~Guarantee Periods closest in duration. If we cannot interpolate because~~at least 1.50% a ~~Guarantee Period of lesser duration~~year. This option is not available ~~then r~~₁ ~~and / or r~~₂ ~~will be equal to [(1) + (2) – (3)], where (1), (2), and (3) are defined as:~~if you hold your contract in an IRA.



~~(1)~~	=	~~the current Treasury spot rate for GP~~₁ ~~or GP~~₂~~, respectively, and~~

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

If your contract is held under a tax-favored retirement plan (or “Qualified Annuity”), you should consider the required minimum distribution rules under the Code when selecting your annuity option.



~~(2)~~	=	~~the current crediting rate for the next longer Guaranteed Period duration currently available, and~~

4: WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT?



~~(3)~~	=	~~the current Treasury spot rate for the next longer Guaranteed Period duration currently available.~~

BENEFICIARY

The ~~term “current Treasury spot rate” refers~~beneficiary is the person(s) or entity you name to ~~the rates that existed~~receive any death benefit. The beneficiary is named at the time the ~~crediting rates were~~contract is issued, unless you change it at a later date. Unless an irrevocable beneficiary has been named, you can change the beneficiary at any time before the owner or last ~~determined.~~surviving owner dies. However, if the contract is jointly owned, the owner must name the joint owner and the joint owner must name the owner as the beneficiary.

~~To determine “J”:~~

CALCULATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT

If Ythe owner (or first-to-die of the owner and joint owner) dies during the accumulation phase, we will, upon receiving appropriate proof of death and any other needed documentation in good order (proof of death), pay a death benefit to the beneficiary designated by the deceased owner or joint owner. If the contract is owned by an ~~integer, and if Y is equal~~entity (e.g., a corporation or trust), rather than by an individual, then we will pay the death benefit upon the death of the annuitant. We require proof of death to be submitted promptly. The beneficiary will receive a ~~Guarantee Period duration that we currently offer, “j” is~~death benefit equal to the ~~crediting rate associated~~contract value as of the date that proof of death is received in good order at the Prudential Annuity Service Center.

Where a contract is structured so that it is owned by a grantor trust but the annuitant is not the grantor, then the contract is required to terminate upon the death of the grantor if the grantor pre-deceases the annuitant under Section 72(s) of the Code. Under this circumstance, the Contract Surrender Value will be paid out to the beneficiary and it is not eligible for the death benefit provided under the contract.

Instead of asking us to pay a death benefit, the surviving spouse may opt to continue the contract, as discussed below. Generally, we impose no withdrawal charge or market value adjustment when we pay the death benefit.

JOINT OWNERSHIP RULES

If the contract has an owner and a joint owner and they are spouses, then upon the first to die of the owner and joint owner, the surviving spouse has the choice of the following:

A surviving spouse’s ability to continue ownership of the annuity may be impacted by certain legal restrictions (see “8: What Are the Tax Considerations Associated with the Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract?”). Please consult your tax or legal advisor for more information about such impact in your state.

If the contract has an owner and a ~~Guarantee Period duration~~joint owner, and they are not spouses, the contract will not continue. Instead, the beneficiary will receive the death benefit.

The death benefit payout options are:

Choice 2. Generally, payment of ~~Y years.~~the entire death benefit within 5 years of the date of death of the first to die. Under this choice, we will impose a market value adjustment upon any withdrawal made during the 5 year period (unless the withdrawal is made during the 30-day period immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period). Starting in 2020, upon your death under a Qualified Annuity (with the exception of government plans and plans maintained pursuant to collective bargaining agreements), your designated beneficiary must receive the entire death benefit within 10 years of your death.

Choice 3. Payment under an annuity or settlement option over the lifetime of the beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary with distribution beginning within one year of the date of death of the first to die. If Ythe distribution does not begin by such time, then no partial withdrawals will be permitted thereafter, and the death benefit must be taken as a lump sum within the 5 year period, or 10 year period depending on the contract type. Starting in 2020, upon your death under a Qualified Annuity, only an eligible designated beneficiary (“EDB”) is ~~less~~allowed to take distributions over life, or over a period not extending beyond life expectancy of the beneficiary provided that such distributions commence within one year of death. An EDB is any designated beneficiary who is (1) your surviving spouse, (2) your minor child, (3) disabled or chronically ill individual, or (4) an individual not more than ~~1, then “J” = r~~₂.10 years younger than you.

~~Otherwise, we determine “J” by linearly interpolating between r~~₁ ~~and r~~₂~~, using~~If no instructions are received on where to send the ~~following formula:~~death benefit payment within 5 years of the date of death, the funds will be escheated.

The tax consequences to the beneficiary may vary among the three death benefit payout options. See Section 8, “What Are The Tax Considerations Associated With The Strategic Partners Horizon Annuity Contract?”

(R₁ * (Y – GP₂~~) + r~~₂ * (GP₁ ~~– Y)) / (GP~~₁ ~~– GP~~₂)

5: HOW CAN I PURCHASE A STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY CONTRACT?

Please note that this Annuity is no longer offered for new sales.

A purchase payment is the amount of money you give us to purchase the contract. The ~~current rate (“J”)~~minimum initial purchase payment is $5,000, and may not exceed $5 million absent our prior approval, unless we are prohibited under applicable state law from insisting on such prior approval. We must approve any initial and additional Purchase Payments where the total amount of Purchase Payments equals $1,000,000 or more with respect to this Annuity and any other annuities you are purchasing from us (or that you already own) and/or our affiliates. An initial purchase payment is considered the first purchase payment received by us in good order. This is the ~~MVA formula~~payment that issues your contract. All subsequent purchase payments allocated to the contract will be considered subsequent purchase payments. You can allocate subsequent purchase payments to a guarantee period only during the 30-day period immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period, provided that any such purchase payment is at least $1,000.

Purchase payments must be submitted by check drawn on a U.S. bank, in U.S. dollars, and made payable to Pruco Life of New Jersey. Purchase payments may also be submitted via 1035 exchange or direct transfer of funds. Under certain circumstances, purchase payments may be transmitted to Pruco Life of New Jersey via wiring funds through your Financial Professional’s broker-dealer firm. We may apply certain limitations, restrictions, and/or underwriting standards as a condition of our issuance of a contract and/or acceptance of purchase payments. We may reject any payment if it is received in an unacceptable form. Our acceptance of a check is subject to our ability to collect funds.

We generally will sell you a contract only if the ~~same Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate as~~eldest of the ~~Crediting Rate.~~owner, any joint owner, annuitant, and any co-annuitant is 85 or younger on the contract date (age 69 or younger, for IRA).

Applicable laws designed to counter terrorist and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to block a contract owner’s ability to make certain transactions and thereby refuse to accept purchase payments or requests for transfers, partial withdrawals, total withdrawals, death benefits, or income payments until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you and your contract to government regulators.

Speculative Investing: Do not purchase this contract if you, anyone acting on your behalf, and/or anyone providing advice to you plan to use it for speculation, arbitrage, viatication or any other type of collective investment scheme now or at any time prior to termination of the contract. Your contract may not be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this contract, you represent and warrant that you are not using this contract for speculation, arbitrage, viatication or any other type of collective investment scheme.

Currently, we will not issue a contract, permit changes in ownership or allow assignments to certain ownership types, including but not limited to: corporations, partnerships, endowments and grantor trusts with multiple grantors. Further, we will only issue a contract, allow changes of ownership and/or permit assignments to certain ownership types if the contract is held exclusively for the benefit of the designated annuitant. These rules are subject to state law. We may issue a contract in ownership structures where the annuitant is also the participant in a Qualified or Non-Qualified employer sponsored plan and the contract represents his or her segregated interest in such plan. We reserve the right to ~~waive~~further limit, restrict and/or change to whom we will issue a contract in the ~~liquidity factor set forth~~future, to the extent permitted by state law. Further, please be aware that we do not provide administration for employer-sponsored plans and may also limit the number of plan participants that elect to use our contract as a funding vehicle.

ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENT

When you purchase a contract, we will allocate your invested purchase payment to the guarantee period of your choosing, provided that we are offering that guarantee period at the time. You must allocate all of your initial purchase payment to a single guarantee period. Likewise, any subsequent purchase payment you make during the 30-day period immediately preceding the end of a guarantee period will be consolidated with your existing contract value, and the total will be allocated to a single guarantee period of your choosing.

OWNER, ANNUITANT AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

In general, you may change the owner, annuitant and beneficiary designations by sending us a request in writing in a form acceptable to us. Upon an ownership change, any automated investment or withdrawal programs will be canceled. The new owner must submit the applicable program enrollment if they wish to participate in such a program. Where allowed by law, such changes will be subject to our acceptance. Some of the changes we will not accept include, but are not limited to:

An ownership change may trigger a taxable event and once an ownership change is processed, the tax reporting cannot be reversed. Therefore, you should consult with a qualified tax advisor for complete information and advice prior to any ownership change.

6: WHAT ARE THE EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY CONTRACT?

There are charges associated with the contract that may reduce the return on your investment. These charges and expenses are described below.

The withdrawal charge is for the payment of the expenses involved in selling and distributing the contracts, including sales commissions, printing of prospectuses, sales administration, preparation of sales literature and other promotional activities.

You may surrender your contract in whole or in part while the guarantee period remains in effect. If you do so, however, you will be subject to (a) a possible withdrawal charge, (b) a market value adjustment (which we discussed in Section 2 above) and (c) possible tax penalties. After the first contract year, you may withdraw, without the imposition of any withdrawal charge or market value adjustment, an amount equal to the interest earned under your contract during the immediately preceding contract year. For purposes of this “free withdrawal” provision, you may not carry over to future contract years any amount of interest that you did not withdraw in a prior contract year. When we calculate the withdrawal charge and market value adjustment, we first take into account any available charge-free amount. We impose a withdrawal charge and market value adjustment only after that amount has been exhausted. In addition, we do not impose either a withdrawal charge or a market value adjustment on amounts you withdraw under the contract’s minimum distribution option to satisfy Internal Revenue Service required minimum distribution rules. The amount of the required minimum distribution for your particular situation may depend on other annuities, savings or investments. We will only calculate the amount of your required minimum distribution based on the value of your contract. We require three (3) days advance written notice to calculate and process the amount of your payments. You may elect to have required minimum distributions paid out monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The $100 minimum amount that applies to Systematic Withdrawals applies to monthly required minimum distributions but does not apply to required minimum distributions taken out on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

If you make a full withdrawal, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the proceeds that we pay to you. If you make a partial withdrawal, we will deduct the withdrawal charge from the contract value remaining in the guarantee period. We calculate the withdrawal charge after we have given effect to any market value adjustment.

The withdrawal charge that we impose is equal to a specified percentage of the contract value withdrawn that is in excess of the charge-free amount described above. With respect to the initial guarantee period, the withdrawal charge is based on the number of contract anniversaries that have elapsed since the contract date. Withdrawal charges are also imposed during your first renewal guarantee period, as discussed below. No withdrawal charges apply to any guarantee period that you choose subsequent to your first renewal guarantee period. Moreover, we impose no withdrawal charge on withdrawals from any one year guarantee period. The withdrawal charge for the initial guarantee period is equal to the following:

Number of Contract Anniversaries Since

The withdrawal charge during the first year of the first renewal guarantee period is equal to the lesser of 5%, or 1% times the number of years in the renewal guarantee period, and the charge decreases by 1% per year thereafter. The withdrawal charge schedule for annuitants aged 90 or older differs slightly. Some or all of the guarantee periods that we offer at any given time will be shorter than the time periods indicated immediately above. If a withdrawal is effective on the day before a contract anniversary, the withdrawal charge percentage will be that as of the next following contract anniversary.

TAXES ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREMIUM

There may be premium based taxes applicable to your purchase payment. We are responsible for the payment of these taxes and may make a deduction from the value of the contract to pay some or all of these taxes. It is our current practice not to deduct a charge for the federal tax associated with deferred acquisition costs paid by us that are based on premium received. However, we reserve the right to charge the contract owner for any such tax associated with deferred acquisition costs and any other type of tax measured by the amount of premium received by us that may be imposed in the future.

We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this Annuity. While we may consider company income taxes when pricing our products, we do not currently include such income taxes in the tax charges you may pay under the Annuity. We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes, and we may charge for these taxes in the future. We reserve the right to impose a charge for federal income taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the separate account.

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we may derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including separate account assets, which are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits may include foreign tax credits and corporate dividend received deductions. We do not pass these tax benefits through to holders of the separate account annuity contracts because (i) the contract Owners are not the Owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the tax charges you pay under the Annuity. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.

7: HOW CAN I ACCESS MY MONEY?

You can withdraw money at any time during the accumulation phase. If you do so, however, you may be subject to income tax and, if the withdrawal is prior to your attaining age 59¹/₂, an additional tax may apply. You will need our consent to make a partial withdrawal if the requested withdrawal is less than $250. During the accumulation phase, we generally have the right to terminate your contract and pay you the contract value if the current contract value is less than $2,000 and certain other conditions apply. We may postpone paying any amount for a full or partial surrender to authenticate the signature on a request. In the event that we postpone payment, the request will not be effective until we have validated the signature on the request to our satisfaction.

Income taxes, additional taxes, withdrawal charges, and a market value adjustment may apply to any withdrawal you make. For ~~Long-Term MVA~~a more complete explanation of tax consequences, see Section 8.

AUTOMATED WITHDRAWALS

We offer an automated withdrawal feature. This feature enables you to receive periodic withdrawals in monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual intervals. We will process your withdrawal at the end of the business day at the intervals you specify. We will continue at these intervals until you tell us otherwise. We reserve the right to cease paying automated withdrawals if paying any such withdrawal would cause the contract value to be less than $2,000.

The minimum automated withdrawal amount you can make is $100. An assignment of the contract terminates any automated withdrawal program that you had in effect. Withdrawal charges, and a market value adjustment, may apply to any automated withdrawal you make. You may not use the automated withdrawal feature to withdraw the interest earned under your contract.

Income taxes, additional taxes, withdrawal charges, and a market value adjustment may apply to any withdrawal you make. For a more complete explanation of tax consequences, see Section 8.

8. WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRATEGIC PARTNERS HORIZON ANNUITY CONTRACT?

The tax considerations associated with an Annuity vary depending on whether the Annuity is (i) owned by an individual or non-natural person, and not associated with a tax-favored retirement plan, or (ii) held under a tax-favored retirement plan. We discuss the tax considerations for these categories of Annuities below. The discussion is general in nature and describes only federal income tax law (not state, local, foreign or other federal tax laws). It is based on current law and interpretations which may change. The information provided is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax treatment of the Annuity is unclear in certain circumstances, and you should always consult a qualified tax adviser regarding the application of law to individual circumstances. Generally, the cost basis in an Annuity is the amount you pay into your Annuity, or into an annuity exchanged for your Annuity, on an after-tax basis less any withdrawals of such payments. Cost basis for a tax-favored retirement plan is provided only in limited circumstances, such as for contributions to a Roth IRA or nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA. We do not track cost basis for tax-favored retirement plans, which is the responsibility of the Owner.

On advisory products, you may establish an advisory fee deduction program for a qualified or non-qualified Annuity with no living benefit such that charges for investment advisory fees are not taxable to the Annuity Owner. Please note that there are additional requirements that must be satisfied in order for investment advisory fee charges paid from a non-qualified Annuity to be treated as not taxable. Advisory fee deduction programs are not permitted if the Annuity is commission based or has a living benefit. Charges for investment advisory fees that are taken from a qualified or non-qualified Annuity with a living benefit are treated as a partial withdrawal from the Annuity and will be tax reported as such to the Annuity Owner.

The discussion below generally assumes that the Annuity is issued to the Annuity Owner. For Annuities issued under the Beneficiary Continuation Option or as a Beneficiary Annuity, refer to the Taxes Payable by Beneficiaries for a Nonqualified Annuity and Required Distributions Upon Your Death for Qualified Annuities sections below.

NONQUALIFIED ANNUITIES

In general, as used in this prospectus, a Nonqualified Annuity is owned by an individual or non-natural person and is not associated with a tax-favored retirement plan.

Taxes Payable by You

We believe the Annuity is an Annuity for tax purposes. Accordingly, as a general rule, you should not pay any tax until you receive money under the Annuity. Generally, an Annuity issued by the same company (and affiliates) to you during the same calendar year must be treated as one Annuity for purposes of determining the amount subject to tax under the rules described below. We treat advisory fee payments as an expense of the Annuity and not a taxable distribution if your non-qualified Annuity satisfies the requirements of a Private Letter Ruling issued to Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey by the Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”). In accordance with the PLR, advisory fee payments from your non-qualified Annuity are treated as an expense as long as your advisor attests to Prudential that the PLR requirements have been met, including that the advisory fees will not exceed 1.5% of the Annuity’s cash value and the Annuity only pays the advisor for fees related to investment advice and no other services. The PLR does not generally allow such favorable tax treatment of advisory fee payments where a commission is also paid on the Annuity.

It is possible that the IRS could assert that some or all of the charges for the optional living or death benefits under the Annuity should be treated for federal income tax purposes as a partial withdrawal from the Annuity. If this were the case, the charge for this benefit could be deemed a withdrawal and treated as taxable income to the extent there are earnings in the Annuity. Additionally, for Owners under age 59½, the taxable income attributable to the charge for the benefit could be subject to an additional tax. If the IRS determines that the charges for one or more benefits under the Annuity are taxable withdrawals, then the sole or surviving Owner will be provided with a notice from us describing available alternatives regarding these benefits.

Taxes on Withdrawals and Surrender Before Annuity Payments Begin

If you make a withdrawal from your Annuity or surrender it before annuity payments begin, the amount you receive will be taxed as ordinary income, rather than as a return of cost basis, until all gain has been withdrawn. At any time there is no gain in your Annuity, payments will be treated as a nontaxable return of cost basis until all cost basis has been returned. After all cost basis is returned, all subsequent amounts will be taxed as ordinary income. An exception to this treatment exists for contracts purchased prior to August 14, 1982. Withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis in the Annuity first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982 are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% additional tax.

You will generally be taxed on any withdrawals from the Annuity while you are alive even if the withdrawal is paid to someone else. Withdrawals under any of the optional living benefits or as a systematic payment are taxed under these rules. If you assign or pledge all or part of your Annuity as collateral for a loan, the part assigned generally will be treated as a withdrawal and subject to income tax to the extent of gain. If the entire Account Value is assigned or pledged, subsequent increases in the Account Value are also treated as withdrawals for as long as the assignment or pledge remains in place. The cost basis is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such assignment or pledge. If you transfer your Annuity for less than full consideration, such as by gift, you will also trigger tax on any gain in the Annuity. This rule does not apply if you transfer the Annuity to your spouse or under most circumstances if you transfer the Annuity incident to divorce.

If you choose to receive payments under an interest payment option, or a Beneficiary chooses to receive a death benefit under an interest payment option, that election will be treated, for tax purposes, as surrendering your Annuity and will immediately subject any gain in the Annuity to income tax.

Taxes on Annuity Payments

If you select an annuity payment option as described in the Access to Account Value section earlier in this prospectus, a portion of each annuity payment you receive will be treated as a partial return of your cost basis and will not be taxed. The remaining portion will be taxed as ordinary income. Generally, the nontaxable portion is determined by multiplying the annuity payment you receive by a fraction, the numerator of which is your cost basis (less any amounts previously received tax-free) and the denominator of which is the total expected payments under the Annuity. After the full amount of your cost basis has been recovered tax-free, the full amount of the annuity payments will be taxable. If annuity payments stop due to the death of the Annuitant before the full amount of your cost basis has been recovered, a tax deduction may be allowed for the unrecovered amount. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this deduction is suspended until after 2025.

If your Account Value is reduced to zero but the Annuity remains in force due to a benefit provision, further distributions from the Annuity will be reported as annuity payments, using an exclusion ratio based upon the undistributed cost basis in the Annuity and the total value of the anticipated future payments until such time as all cost basis has been recovered.

Maximum Annuity Date

You must commence annuity payments no later than the first day of the calendar month following the maximum Annuity Date for your Annuity. Upon reaching the maximum Annuity Date you can no longer make Purchase Payments, surrender, exchange, or transfer your contract. The maximum Annuity Date may be the same as the Latest Annuity Date as described elsewhere in this prospectus. For some of our Annuities, you can choose to defer the Annuity Date beyond the default or Latest Annuity Date, as applicable, described in your Annuity. However, the IRS may not then consider your Annuity to be an Annuity under the tax law.

Please refer to your Annuity contract for the maximum Annuity Date.

Partial Annuitization

Individuals may partially annuitize their Nonqualified Annuity if the contract so permits. The tax law allows for a portion of a nonqualified Annuity, endowment or life insurance contract to be annuitized while the balance is not annuitized. The annuitized portion must be paid out over 10 or more years or over the lives of one or more individuals. The annuitized portion of the Annuity is treated as a separate Annuity for purposes of determining taxability of the payments under Section 72 of the Code. We do not currently permit partial annuitization.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010, included a Medicare tax on investment income. This tax assesses a 3.8% surtax on the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount. The “threshold amount” is $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately, $200,000 for all others, and approximately $12,750 for trusts. The taxable portion of payments received as a withdrawal, surrender, annuity payment, death benefit payment or any other actual or deemed distribution under the Annuity will be considered investment income for purposes of this surtax.

10% Additional Tax for Early Withdrawal from a Nonqualified Annuity

You may owe a 10% additional tax on the taxable part of distributions received from your Nonqualified Annuity before you attain age 59½. Amounts are not subject to this additional tax if:

Other exceptions to this tax may apply. You should consult your tax adviser for further details.

Special Rules in Relation to Tax-free Exchanges Under Section 1035

Section 1035 of the Code permits certain tax-free exchanges of a life insurance contract, Annuity or endowment contract for an Annuity, including tax-free exchanges of annuity death benefits for a Beneficiary Annuity. Partial exchanges may be treated in the same way as tax-free 1035 exchanges of entire contracts, therefore avoiding current taxation of the partially exchanged amount as well as the 10% additional tax on pre-age 59½ withdrawals. In Revenue Procedure 2011-38, the IRS indicated that, for partial exchanges on or after October 24, 2011, where there is a surrender or distribution from either the initial Annuity or receiving Annuity within 180 days of the date on which the partial exchange was completed (other than an amount received as an annuity for a period of 10 years or more or during one or more lives), the IRS may not treat the transaction, as a tax-free Section 1035 exchange. The IRS will apply general tax rules to determine the substance and treatment of the transaction in such cases. We strongly urge you to discuss any partial exchange transaction of this type with your tax adviser before proceeding with the transaction.

If an Annuity is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance contract, Annuity or endowment contract that was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any Purchase Payments made to the original contract prior to August 14, 1982 will be treated as made to the new Annuity prior to that date. Generally, such pre-August 14, 1982 withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982 are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% additional tax.

After you elect an Annuity Payout Option, we do not allow you to exchange your Annuity.

Taxes Payable by Beneficiaries for a Nonqualified Annuity

If an Owner dies before the Annuity Date, the Death Benefit distributions are subject to ordinary income tax to the extent the distribution exceeds the cost basis in the Annuity. The value of the Death Benefit, as determined under federal law, is also included in the Owner’s estate for federal estate tax purposes. Generally, the same income tax rules described above would also apply to amounts received by your Beneficiary. Choosing an option other than a lump sum Death Benefit may defer taxes. Certain minimum distribution requirements apply upon your death, as discussed further below in the Annuity Qualification section. Tax consequences to the Beneficiary vary depending upon the Death Benefit payment option selected. Generally, for payment of the Death Benefit:

After the Annuity Date, if a period certain remains under the annuity option and the Annuitant dies before the end of that period, any remaining payments made to the Beneficiary will be fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the contract is recovered and all annuity payments thereafter are fully includible in income. If we allow the Beneficiary to commute the remaining payments in a lump sum, the proceeds will be taxable as a surrender.

Considerations for Contingent Annuitants: We may allow the naming of a contingent Annuitant when a Nonqualified Annuity is held by a pension plan or a tax favored retirement plan, or held by a Custodial Account (as defined earlier in this prospectus). In such a situation, the Annuity may no longer qualify for tax deferral where the Annuity continues after the death of the Annuitant. However, tax deferral should be provided instead by the pension plan, tax favored retirement plan, or Custodial Account. We may also allow the naming of a contingent annuitant when a Nonqualified Annuity is held by an entity owner when such Annuities do not qualify for tax deferral under the current tax law. This does not supersede any benefit language which may restrict the use of the contingent annuitant.

Reporting and Withholding on Distributions

Amounts distributed from an Annuity are subject to federal and state income tax reporting and withholding. In general, we will withhold federal income tax from the taxable portion of such distribution based on the type of distribution. In the case of an annuity payment, we will withhold as if you are a married individual with three (3) exemptions unless you designate a different withholding status. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In the case of all other distributions, we will withhold at a 10% rate. You may generally elect not to have tax withheld from your payments. An election out of withholding must be made on forms that we provide. If you are a U.S. person (which includes a resident alien), and you request a payment be delivered outside the United States, we are required to withhold income tax.

State income tax withholding rules vary and we will withhold based on the rules of your state of residence. Special tax rules apply to withholding for nonresident aliens, and we generally withhold income tax for nonresident aliens at a 30% rate. A different withholding rate may be applicable to a nonresident alien based on the terms of an existing income tax treaty between the United States and the nonresident alien’s country. Please refer to the discussion below regarding withholding rules for a Qualified Annuity.

Regardless of the amount withheld by us, you are liable for payment of federal and state income tax on the taxable portion of annuity distributions. You should consult with your tax adviser regarding the payment of the correct amount of these income taxes and potential liability if you fail to pay such taxes.

Where an Annuity is held by a non-natural person (e.g., a corporation), other than as an agent or nominee for a natural person (or in other limited circumstances), increases in the value of the Annuity over its cost basis will be subject to tax annually.

Where an Annuity is issued to a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), increases in the value of the Annuity over its cost basis will be subject to tax reporting annually. As there are charges for the optional living and death benefits described elsewhere in this prospectus, and such charges reduce the contract value of the Annuity, trustees of the CRT should discuss with their legal advisers whether election of such optional living or death benefits violates their fiduciary duty to the remainder beneficiary.

Where an Annuity is issued to a trust, and such trust is characterized as a grantor trust under the Code, such Annuity shall not be considered to be held by a non-natural person and will be subject to the tax reporting and withholding requirements generally applicable to a Nonqualified Annuity held by a

natural person, provided that all grantors of the trust are natural persons. At this time, we will not issue an Annuity to grantor trusts with more than two grantors.

Where the Annuity is owned by a grantor trust, the Annuity must be distributed within five years after the date of the first grantor’s death under Section 72(s) of the Code. See the “Death Benefits” section for scenarios where a Death Benefit or Surrender Value is payable depending upon the underlying facts.

Trusts are required to complete and submit a Certificate of Entity form, and we will tax report based on the information provided on this form.

Annuity Qualification

Diversification And Investor Control. In order to qualify for the tax rules applicable to Annuities described above, the investment assets in the Sub-accounts Nonqualified Annuity must be diversified according to certain rules under the Code. Each Portfolio is required to diversify its investments each quarter so that no more than 55% of the value of its assets is represented by any one investment, no more than 70% is represented by any two investments, no more than 80% is represented by any three investments, and no more than 90% is represented by any four investments. Generally, securities of a single issuer are treated as one investment, and obligations of each U.S. Government agency and instrumentality (such as the Government National Mortgage Association) are treated as issued by separate issuers. In addition, any security issued, guaranteed or insured (to the extent so guaranteed or insured) by the U.S. or an instrumentality of the U.S. will be treated as a security issued by the U.S. Government or its instrumentality, where applicable. We believe the Portfolios underlying the variable Investment Options of the Annuity meet these diversification requirements.

An additional requirement for qualification for the tax treatment described above is that we, and not you as the Annuity Owner, must have sufficient control over the underlying assets to be treated as the Owner of the underlying assets for tax purposes. While we also believe these investor control rules will be met, the Treasury Department may promulgate guidelines under which a variable annuity will not be treated as an Annuity for tax purposes if persons with ownership rights have excessive control over the investments underlying such variable Annuity. It is unclear whether such guidelines, if in fact promulgated, would have retroactive effect. It is also unclear what effect, if any, such guidelines might have on transfers between the Investment Options offered pursuant to this prospectus. We reserve the right to take any action, including modifications to your Annuity or the Investment Options, required to comply with such guidelines if promulgated. Any such changes will apply uniformly to affected Owners and will be made with such notice to affected Owners as is feasible under the circumstances.

Required Distributions Upon Your Death for a Nonqualified Annuity. Upon your death, certain distributions must be made under the Annuity. The required distributions depend on whether you die before you start taking annuity payments under the Annuity or after you start taking annuity payments under the Annuity. If you die on or after the Annuity Date, the remaining portion of the interest in the Annuity must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death. If you die before the Annuity Date, the entire interest in the Annuity must be distributed within five years after the date of death, or as periodic payments over a period not extending beyond the life or life expectancy of the designated Beneficiary (provided such payments begin within one year of your death). If the Beneficiary does not begin installments within one year of the date of death, no partial withdrawals will be permitted thereafter, and we require that the Beneficiary take the Death Benefit as a lump sum within the five-year deadline.Your designated Beneficiary is the person to whom benefit rights under the Annuity pass by reason of death, and must be a natural person in order to elect a periodic payment option based on life expectancy or a period exceeding five years. Additionally, if the Annuity is payable to (or for the benefit of) your surviving spouse, that portion of the Annuity may be continued with your spouse as the Owner. For Nonqualified Annuities owned by a non-natural person, the required distribution rules apply upon the death of the Annuitant. This means that for an Annuity held by a non-natural person (such as a trust) for which there is named a co-annuitant, then such required distributions will be triggered by the death of the first co-annuitant to die.

Changes To Your Annuity. We reserve the right to make any changes we deem necessary to assure that your Annuity qualifies as an Annuity for taxpurposes. Any such changes will apply to all Annuity Owners and you will be given notice to the extent feasible under the circumstances.

In general, as used in this prospectus, a Qualified Annuity is an Annuity with applicable endorsements for a tax-favored plan or a Nonqualified Annuity held by a tax-favored retirement plan.

The following ~~hypothetical examples show the effect~~is a general discussion of the ~~MVA~~tax considerations for Qualified Annuities. This Annuity may or may not be available for all types of the tax-favored retirement plans discussed below. This discussion assumes that you have satisfied the eligibility requirements for any tax-favored retirement plan. Please consult your financial professional prior to purchase to confirm if this Annuity is available for a particular type of tax-favored retirement plan or whether we will accept the type of contribution you intend for this Annuity.

A Qualified Annuity may typically be purchased for use in ~~determining~~connection with:

A Nonqualified Annuity may also be purchased by a 401(a) trust, a custodial IRA or a custodial Roth IRA account, or a Section 457 plan, which can hold other permissible assets. The terms and administration of the trust or custodial account or plan in accordance with the laws and regulations for 401(a) plans, IRAs or Roth IRAs, or a Section 457 plan, as applicable, are the responsibility of the applicable trustee or custodian.

You should be aware that tax favored plans such as IRAs generally provide income tax deferral regardless of whether they invest in Annuities. This means that when a tax favored plan invests in an Annuity, it generally does not result in any additional tax benefits (such as income tax deferral and income tax free transfers).

Types of Tax-favored Plans

IRAs. The “IRA Disclosure Statement” and “Roth IRA Disclosure Statement” which accompany the prospectus contain information about eligibility, contribution limits, tax particulars, and other IRA information. In addition to this information (the material terms are summarized in this prospectus and in those Disclosure Statements), the IRS requires that you have a “Free Look” after making an initial contribution to the Annuity. During this time, you can cancel the Annuity by notifying us in writing, and we will refund the greater of all purchase payments under the Annuity or the Account ~~Value. Assume~~Value, less any applicable federal and state income tax withholding.

Contribution Limits/Rollovers. Subject to the ~~following:~~minimum purchase payment requirements of an Annuity, you may purchase an Annuity for an IRA in connection with a “rollover” of amounts from a qualified retirement plan, as a transfer from another IRA, by making a contribution consisting of your IRA contributions and catch-up contributions, if applicable, attributable to the prior year during the period from January 1 to April 15 (or the later applicable due date of your federal income tax return, without extension), or as a current year contribution. In 2020 the contribution limit is $6,000. The contribution amount is indexed for inflation. The tax law also provides for a catch-up provision for individuals who are age 50 and above, allowing these individuals an additional $1,000 contribution each year. The catch-up amount is not indexed for inflation. The “rollover” rules under the Code are fairly technical; however, an individual (or his or her surviving spouse) may generally “roll over” certain distributions from tax favored retirement plans (either directly or within 60 days from the date of these distributions) if he or she meets the requirements for distribution. Once you buy an Annuity, you can make regular IRA contributions under the Annuity (to the extent permitted by law). For IRA rollovers, an individual can only make an IRA to IRA rollover if the individual has not made a rollover involving any IRAs owned by the individual in the prior 12 months. An IRA transfer is a tax-free trustee-to-trustee “transfer” from one IRA account to another. IRA transfers are not subject to this 12-month rule. Beginning in 2020, there is no longer an age limitation with regard to contributions to a traditional IRA as long as the earned income requirements are met.

In some circumstances, non-spouse Beneficiaries may roll over to an IRA amounts due from qualified plans, 403(b) plans, and governmental 457(b) plans. However, the rollover rules applicable to non-spouse Beneficiaries under the Code are more restrictive than the rollover rules applicable to Owner/participants and spouse Beneficiaries. Generally, non-spouse Beneficiaries may roll over distributions from tax favored retirement plans only as a direct rollover, and if permitted by the plan. For plan years beginning after December 31, 2009, employer retirement plans are required to permit non-spouse Beneficiaries to roll over funds to an inherited IRA. An inherited IRA must be directly rolled over from the employer plan or transferred from an IRA and must be titled in the name of the deceased (i.e., John Doe deceased for the benefit of Jane Doe). No additional contributions can be made to an inherited IRA. In this prospectus, an inherited IRA is also referred to as a Beneficiary Annuity.

Required Provisions. Annuities that are IRAs (or endorsements that are part of the contract) must contain certain provisions:

~~Example of Positive MVA~~

Assume that at the time you request the withdrawal, the crediting rate associated with the fixed allocation maturing on the Maturity Date is 1.50% (J = 1.50%). Based on these assumptions, the MVA would be calculated as follows:

~~[(1+I)/(1+J+0.0025)]~~The date on which required minimum distributions must begin cannot be later than April 1^{^(N/12)st} ~~= [1.025/1.0175]~~² ~~= 1.01480~~of the calendar year after the calendar year you turn age 70½ (or age 72, for distributions required to be made after December 31, 2019, with respect to individuals who attain 70 ½ after such date); and

Usually, the full amount of any distribution from an IRA (including a distribution from this Annuity) which is not a transfer or rollover is taxable. As taxable income, these distributions are subject to the general tax withholding rules described earlier regarding an Annuity in the Nonqualified Annuity section. In addition to this normal tax liability, you may also be liable for the following, depending on your actions:

~~Example~~SEPs. SEPs are a variation on a standard IRA, and Annuities issued to a SEP must satisfy the same general requirements described under IRAs (above). There are, however, some differences:

ROTH IRAs. The “Roth IRA Disclosure Statement” contains information about eligibility, contribution limits, tax particulars and other Roth IRA information. Like standard IRAs, income within a Roth IRA accumulates tax-free, and contributions are subject to specific limits. Roth IRAs have, however, the following differences:

Subject to the minimum Purchase Payment requirements of an Annuity, you may purchase an Annuity for a Roth IRA in connection with a “rollover” of amounts of another traditional IRA, SEP, SIMPLE-IRA, employer sponsored retirement plan (under Sections 401(a) or 403(b) of the Code) or Roth IRA; or, if you meet certain income limitations, by making a contribution consisting of your Roth IRA contributions and catch-up contributions, if applicable, attributable to the prior year during the period from January 1 to April 15 (or the applicable due date of your federal income tax return, without extension), or as a current year contribution. The Code permits persons who receive certain qualifying distributions from such non-Roth IRAs, to directly rollover or make, within 60 days, a “rollover” of all or any part of the amount of such distribution to a Roth IRA which they establish (a "conversion"). The conversion of non-Roth accounts triggers current taxation (but is not subject to a 10% early distribution additional tax).

The Code also permits the recharacterization of amounts from a traditional IRA, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA into a Roth IRA, or from a Roth IRA to a traditional IRA. Recharacterization is accomplished through a trustee-to-trustee transfer of a contribution (or a portion of a contribution) plus earnings, between different types of IRAs. A properly recharacterized contribution is treated as a contribution made to the second IRA instead of the first IRA. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, you may no longer recharacterize a conversion to a Roth IRA. It is still permissible to recharacterize a contribution made to a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or a contribution to a traditional IRA as a Roth IRA contribution. Such recharacterization must be completed by the applicable tax return due date (with extensions).

Once an Annuity has been purchased, regular Roth IRA contributions will be accepted to the extent permitted by law. In addition, an individual receiving an eligible rollover distribution from a designated Roth account under an employer plan may roll over the distribution to a Roth IRA even if the individual is not eligible to make regular contributions to a Roth IRA. Non-spouse Beneficiaries receiving a distribution from an employer sponsored retirement plan under Sections 401(a) or 403(b) of the Code can also directly roll over contributions to a Roth IRA. However, it is our understanding of the Code that non-spouse Beneficiaries cannot “rollover” benefits from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA.

TDAs. In general, you may own a Tax Deferred Annuity (also known as a TDA, Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA), 403(b) plan or 403(b) Annuity) if you are an employee of a tax-exempt organization (as defined under Code Section 501(c)(3)) or a public educational organization, and you may make contributions to a TDA so long as your employer maintains such a plan and your rights to the Annuity are non-forfeitable. Contributions to a TDA, and any earnings, are not taxable until distribution. You may also make contributions to a TDA under a salary reduction agreement, generally up to a maximum of $19,500 in 2020. Individuals participating in a TDA who are age 50 or above by the end of the year will be permitted to contribute an additional $6,500 in 2020. This amount is indexed for inflation. Further, you may roll over TDA amounts to another TDA or an IRA. You may also roll over TDA amounts to a qualified retirement plan, a SEP and a governmental 457(b) plan. An Annuity may generally only qualify as a TDA if distributions of salary deferrals (other than “grandfathered” amounts held as of December 31, 1988) may be made only on account of:

In any event, you must begin receiving distributions from your TDA by April 1st of the calendar year after the calendar year you turn age 70½ (or age 72 shall apply to distributions required to be made after December 31, 2019, with respect to individuals who attain age 70½ after such date),or retire, whichever is later. These distribution limits do not apply either to transfers or exchanges of investments under the Annuity, or to any “direct transfer” of your interest in the Annuity to another employer’s TDA plan or mutual fund “custodial account” described under Code Section 403(b)(7). Employer contributions to TDAs are subject to the same general contribution, nondiscrimination, and minimum participation rules applicable to “qualified” retirement plans.

Caution: Under IRS regulations we can accept contributions, transfers and rollovers only if we have entered into an information-sharing agreement, or its functional equivalent, with the applicable employer or its agent. In addition, in order to comply with the regulations, we will only process certain transactions (e.g., transfers, withdrawals, hardship distributions and, if applicable, loans) with employer approval. This means that if you request one of these transactions we will not consider your request to be in Good Order, and will not therefore process the ~~withdrawal,~~transaction, until we receive the ~~crediting rate associated~~employer’s approval in written or electronic form.

Late Rollover Self-Certification

You may be able to apply a rollover contribution to your IRA or qualified retirement plan after the 60-day deadline through a self-certification procedure established by the IRS. Please consult your tax or legal adviser regarding your eligibility to use this self-certification procedure. As indicated in this IRS guidance, we, as a financial institution, are not required to accept your self-certification for waiver of the 60-day deadline.

Required Minimum Distributions and Payment Options

If you hold the Annuity under an IRA (or other tax-favored plan), Required Minimum Distribution rules must be satisfied. This means that generally payments must start by April 1 of the year after the year you reach age 70½ (or age 72 shall apply to distributions required to be made after December 31, 2019, with respect to individuals who attain age 70½ after such date) and must be made for each year thereafter. For a TDA or a 401(a) plan for which the ~~fixed allocation maturing~~participant is not a greater than 5% Owner of the employer, this required beginning date can generally be deferred to retirement, if later. Roth IRAs are not subject to these rules during the Owner’s lifetime. The amount of the payment must at least equal the minimum required under the IRS rules. Several choices are available for calculating the minimum amount. More information on the ~~Maturity Date~~mechanics of this calculation is ~~3.50% (J = 3.50%). Based~~available on ~~these assumptions,~~request. Please contact us at a reasonable time before the ~~MVA would be~~IRS deadline so that a timely distribution is made. Please note that there is a 50% tax penalty on the amount of any required minimum distribution not made in a timely manner. Required Minimum Distributions are calculated ~~as follows:~~

~~[(1+I)/(1+J+0.0025)]~~^N/12 ~~= [1.025/1.0375]~~² ~~= 0.97605~~

~~MVA FORMULA FOR 6 OR 12 MONTH DCA MVA OPTIONS~~

~~The MVA formula is applied separately to each DCA MVA Option to determine~~based on the sum of the Account Value and the actuarial value of any additional living and death benefits from optional riders that you have purchased under the Annuity. As a result, the Required Minimum Distributions may be larger than if the calculation were based on the Account Value only, which may in turn result in an earlier (but not before the required beginning date) distribution of amounts under the Annuity and an increased amount of taxable income distributed to the Annuity Owner, and a reduction of payments under the living and death benefit optional riders.

You can use the Minimum Distribution option to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules for an Annuity without either beginning annuity payments or surrendering the Annuity. We will distribute to you the Required Minimum Distribution amount, less any other partial withdrawals that you made during the year. Such amount will be based on the value of the ~~DCA MVA Option~~Annuity as of December 31 of the prior year, but is determined without regard to other Annuities you may own. If a trustee to trustee transfer or direct rollover of the full contract value is requested when there is an active Required Minimum Distribution program running, the Required Minimum Distribution will be removed and sent to the Owner prior to the remaining funds being sent to the transfer institution.

Although the IRS rules determine the required amount to be distributed from your IRA each year, certain payment alternatives are still available to you. If you own more than one IRA, you can choose to satisfy your minimum distribution requirement for each of your IRAs by withdrawing that amount from any of your IRAs. If you inherit more than one IRA or more than one Roth IRA from the same Owner, similar rules apply.

Charitable IRA Distributions.

Certain qualified IRA distributions used for charitable purposes are eligible for an exclusion from gross income, up to $100,000, for otherwise taxable IRA distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA. A qualified charitable distribution is a distribution that is made (1) directly by the IRA trustee to certain qualified charitable organizations and (2) on or after the date the IRA owner attains age 70½. Distributions that are excluded from income under this provision are not taken into account in determining the individual’s deductions, if any, for charitable contributions.Effective 2020, the amount of your qualified charitable distributions that are excluded from income for a ~~particular date.~~tax year is reduced (but not below zero) by the excess of: (1) the total amount of your IRA deductions allowed for all tax years ending on or after the date you attain age 70½, over (2) the total amount of reductions for all tax years preceding the current tax year.

The ~~Market Value Adjustment Factor~~IRS has indicated that an IRA trustee is not responsible for determining whether a distribution to a charity is one that satisfies the requirements of the charitable giving incentive. Consistent with the applicable IRS instructions, we report these distributions as normal IRA distributions on Form 1099-R. Individuals are responsible for reflecting the distributions as charitable IRA distributions on their personal tax returns.

Required Distributions Upon Your Death for a Qualified Annuity

Upon your death under an IRA, Roth IRA, 403(b) or other employer sponsored plan, any remaining interest must be distributed in accordance with federal income tax requirements. The post-death distribution requirements were amended, applicable generally with respect to ~~the MVA Options we make available under the 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Program is as follows:~~

~~The MVA factor is equal to:~~

~~[(1+I)/(1+J+K)]~~^{^(N/12)}deaths occurring after

~~where:~~2019, by the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 (which includes the "Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement" Act (SECURE Act)). The post-death distribution requirements under prior law continue to apply in certain circumstances.

Prior law. Under prior law, if an employee under an employer sponsored plan or IRA owner dies prior to the required beginning date, the remaining interest must be distributed (1) within 5 years after the death (the “5-year rule”), or (2) over the life of the designated beneficiary, or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary, provided that such distributions commence within one year after death (the “lifetime payout rule”). If the ~~“Treasury constant maturities nominal 12” rates available through Federal Reserve Statistical Release H. 15 should become unavailable~~employee or IRA owner dies on or after the required beginning date (including after the date distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity), the remaining interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of death (the “at-least-as-rapidly rule”).

The new law. Under the new law, if you die after 2019, and you have a designated beneficiary, any ~~time,~~remaining interest must be distributed by December 31st of the year that includes the 10 year anniversary of your death, unless the designated beneficiary is an “eligible designated beneficiary” (“EDB”) or some other exception applies. A designated beneficiary is any individual designated as a beneficiary by the employee or IRA owner. An EDB is any designated beneficiary who is (1) your surviving spouse, (2) your minor child, (3) disabled, (4) chronically ill, or (5) an individual not more than 10 years younger than you. An individual’s status as an EDB is determined on the date of your death.

This 10-year post-death distribution period applies regardless of whether you die before your required beginning date, or you die on or after that date (including after distributions have commenced in the form of an annuity). However, if the ~~rate for~~beneficiary is an EDB and the EDB dies before the entire interest is distributed under this 10-year rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after the EDB’s death (i.e., a ~~1-month maturity should become unavailable through~~new 10-year distribution period begins).

Instead of taking distributions under the new 10-year rule, an EDB can stretch distributions over life, or over a period not extending beyond life expectancy, provided that such distributions commence within one year of your death, subject to certain special rules. In particular, if the EDB dies before the remaining interest is distributed under this ~~source, we~~stretch rule, the remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after the EDB’s death (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than 10 years). In addition, if your minor child is an EDB, the child will ~~substitute rates which, in our opinion, are comparable.~~

~~We reserve~~cease to be an EDB on the ~~right to waive~~date the ~~Liquidity Factor.~~

~~What Happens When My Guarantee Period Matures?~~child reaches the age of majority, and any remaining interest must be distributed within 10 years after that date (regardless of whether the remaining distribution period under the stretch rule was more or less than 10 years).

The ~~“Maturity Date” for~~new law applies if you die after 2019, subject to several exceptions. In particular, if you are an ~~MVA Fixed Allocation~~employee under a governmental plan, such as a section 403(b) plan of a public school or a governmental 457(b) plan, the new law applies if you die after 2021. In addition, if your plan is the last day of the Guarantee Period (note that the discussion in this section of Guarantee Periods is not applicable to the Fixed Allocations used with a dollar cost averaging program, the Benefit Fixed Rate Account, and the DCA Fixed Rate options). Before the Maturity Date, you may choose to renew the MVA Fixed Allocation for a new Guarantee Period of the same or different length (based upon what is currently offered) or you may transfer all or part of that MVA Fixed Allocation’s Account Value to another MVA Fixed Allocation ormaintained pursuant to one or more ~~investment options~~collective bargaining agreements, the new law generally applies if you die after 2021 (unless the collective bargaining agreements terminate earlier).

It is important to note that under prior law, annuity payments that commenced under a method that satisfied the distribution requirements while the employee or IRA owner was alive could continue to be made under that method after the death of the employee or IRA owner. However, under the new law, if you commence taking distributions in the form of an annuity that can continue after your death, such as in the form of a joint and survivor annuity or an annuity with a guaranteed period of more than 10 years, any distributions after your death that are scheduled to be made beyond the applicable distribution period imposed under the new law might need to be commuted at the end of that period (or otherwise modified after your death if permitted under federal tax law and by Prudential) in order to comply with the new post-death distribution requirements.

The new post-death distribution requirements do not apply if annuity payments that comply with prior law commenced prior to December 20, 2019. Also, even if annuity payments have not commenced prior to December 20, 2019, the new requirements generally do not apply to an immediate annuity contract or a deferred income annuity contract (including a qualifying lifetime annuity contract, or “QLAC”)) purchased prior to that date, if you have made an irrevocable election before that date as to the method and amount of the annuity.

If your beneficiary is not an individual, such as a charity, your estate, or a trust, any remaining interest after your death generally must be distributed under prior law in accordance with the 5-year rule or the at-least-as-rapidly rule, as applicable (but not the lifetime payout rule). However, if your beneficiary is a trust and all the beneficiaries of the trust are individuals, the new law can apply pursuant to special rules that treat the beneficiaries of the trust as designated beneficiaries, including special rules allowing a beneficiary of a trust who is disabled or chronically ill to stretch the distribution of their interest over their life or life expectancy in some cases. You may wish to consult a professional tax advisor about the federal income tax consequences of your beneficiary designations.

In addition, the new post-death distribution requirements generally do not apply if the employee or IRA owner died prior to January 1, 2020. However, if the designated beneficiary of the deceased employee or IRA owner dies after January 1, 2020, any remaining interest must be distributed within 10 year of the designated beneficiary’s death. Hence, this 10-year rule will apply to (1) a contract issued prior to 2020 which continues to be held by a designated beneficiary of an employee or IRA owner who died prior to 2020, and (2) an inherited IRA issued after 2019 to the designated beneficiary of an employee or IRA owner who died prior to 2020.

Spousal continuation. Under the new law, as under prior law, if your beneficiary is your spouse, your surviving spouse can delay the application of the post-death distribution requirements until after your surviving spouse reaches age 70 ½ (or age 72, for distributions required to be made after December 31, 2019, with respect to individuals who attain age 70½ after such date) by transferring the remaining interest tax-free to your surviving spouse’s own IRA, or by treating your IRA as your surviving spouse’s own IRA.

The post-death distribution requirements are complex and unclear in numerous respects. In addition, the manner in which these requirements will apply will depend on your particular facts and circumstances. You may wish to consult a professional tax adviser for tax advice as to your particular situation.

A Beneficiary has the flexibility to take out more each year than mandated under the required minimum distribution rules. Note that in 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Inherited IRAs, other than IRAs inherited by the owner’s spouse, do not qualify as retirement assets for purposes of protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.

Until withdrawn, amounts in a Qualified Annuity continue to be tax deferred. Amounts withdrawn each year, including amounts that are required to be withdrawn under the required minimum distribution rules, are subject to tax. You may wish to consult a professional tax adviser for tax advice as to your particular situation.

For a Roth IRA, if death occurs before the entire interest is distributed, the death benefit must be distributed under the same rules applied to IRAs where death occurs before the date required minimum distributions must begin under the Code.

10 % Additional Tax for Early Withdrawals from a Qualified Annuity You may owe a 10% additional tax on the taxable part of distributions received from an IRA, SEP, Roth IRA, TDA or qualified retirement plan before you attain age 59½. Amounts are not subject to this additional tax if:

Other exceptions to this tax may apply. You should consult your tax adviser for further details.

For 403(b) Tax Deferred annuities, we will withhold federal income tax at the rate of 20% for any eligible rollover distribution paid by us to or for a plan participant, unless such distribution is “directly” rolled over into another qualified plan, IRA (including the IRA variations described ~~in your Annuity Prospectus.~~above), SEP, governmental 457(b) plan or TDA. An eligible rollover distribution is defined under the tax law as a distribution from an employer plan under 401(a), a TDA or a governmental 457(b) plan, excluding any distribution that is part of a series of substantially equal payments (at least annually) made over the life expectancy of the employee or the joint life expectancies of the employee and his designated Beneficiary, any distribution made for a specified period of 10 years or more, any distribution that is a required minimum distribution and any hardship distribution. Regulations also specify certain other items which are not considered eligible rollover distributions. We will not ~~charge~~withhold for payments made from trustee owned Annuities or for payments under a ~~MVA if~~457 plan. For all other distributions, unless you ~~choose to renew~~elect otherwise, we will withhold federal income tax from the taxable portion of such distribution at an ~~MVA Fixed Allocation~~appropriate percentage. The rate of withholding on ~~its Maturity Date or transfer~~annuity payments where no mandatory withholding is required is determined on the ~~Account Value to one or more other investment options. We will notify you before the end~~basis of the ~~Guarantee Period about the fixed interest rates~~withholding certificate that ~~we are currently crediting to all MVA Fixed Allocations that are being offered. The rates being credited to MVA Fixed Allocations may change before the Maturity Date.~~

you file with us. If you do not ~~specify how~~file a certificate, we will automatically withhold federal taxes on the following basis:

If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, no election out of withholding will be allowed, and we will automatically withhold using the default withholding rules. We will provide you with forms and instructions concerning the right to elect that no amount be withheld from payments in the ordinary course. However, you should know that, in any event, you are liable for payment of federal income taxes on the taxable portion of the distributions, and you should consult with your tax adviser to find out more information on your potential liability if you fail to pay such taxes. If you are a U.S. person (which includes a resident alien), and you request a payment be delivered outside the U.S., we are required to withhold income tax. There may be additional state income tax withholding requirements.

ERISA (the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974”) and the Code prevent a fiduciary and other “parties in interest” with respect to a plan (and, for these purposes, an ~~MVA Fixed Allocation~~IRA would also constitute a “plan”) from receiving any benefit from any party dealing with the plan, as a result of the sale of the Annuity. Administrative exemptions under ERISA generally permit the sale of insurance/annuity products to plans, provided that certain information is disclosed to the person purchasing the Annuity. This information has to do primarily with the fees, charges, discounts and other costs related to the Annuity, as well as any commissions paid to any agent selling the Annuity. Information about any applicable fees, charges, discounts, penalties or adjustments may be found in the applicable sections of this prospectus. Information about sales representatives and commissions may be found in the sections of this prospectus addressing distribution of the Annuities.

Other relevant information required by the exemptions is contained in the contract and accompanying documentation.

Please consult with your tax adviser if you have any questions about ERISA and these disclosure requirements.

Spousal Consent Rules for Retirement Plans - Qualified Annuities

If you are married at the time your payments commence, you may be required by federal law to choose an income option that provides survivor annuity income to your spouse, unless your spouse waives that right. Similarly, if you are married at the time of your death, federal law may require all or a portion of the Death Benefit to be ~~allocated~~paid to your spouse, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary. A brief explanation of the applicable rules follows. For more information, consult the terms of your retirement arrangement.

Defined Benefit Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans. If you are married at the time your payments commence, federal law requires that benefits be paid to you in the form of a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” (QJSA), unless you and your spouse waive that right, in writing. Generally, this means that you will receive a reduced payment during your life and, upon your death, your spouse will receive at least one-half of what you were receiving for life. You may elect to receive another income option if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QJSA. If your spouse consents to the alternative form of payment, your spouse may not receive any benefits from the plan upon your death. Federal law also requires that the plan pay a Death Benefit to your spouse if you are married and die before you begin receiving your benefit. This benefit must be available in the form of an Annuity for your spouse’s lifetime and is called a “qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity” (QPSA). If the plan pays Death Benefits to other Beneficiaries, you may elect to have a Beneficiary other than your spouse receive the Death Benefit, but only if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QPSA. If your spouse consents to the alternate Beneficiary, your spouse will receive no benefits from the plan upon your death. Any QPSA waiver prior to your attaining age 35 will become null and void on ~~its Maturity Date,~~the first day of the calendar year in which you attain age 35, if still employed.

Defined Contribution Plans (including 401(k) Plans and ERISA 403(b) Annuities). Spousal consent to a distribution is generally not required. Upon your death, your spouse will receive the entire Death Benefit, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary, unless your spouse consents in writing to waive this right. Also, if you are married and elect an Annuity as a periodic income option, federal law requires that you receive a QJSA (as described above), unless you and your spouse consent to waive this right.

IRAs, non-ERISA 403(b) Annuities, and 457 Plans. Spousal consent to a distribution usually is not required. Upon your death, any Death Benefit will be paid to your designated Beneficiary.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Reporting and Withholding for Escheated Amounts

In 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Ruling 2018-17, which provides that an amount transferred from an IRA to a state’s unclaimed property fund is subject to federal withholding at the time of transfer. The amount transferred is also subject to federal tax reporting. Consistent with this Ruling, beginning in 2019, we will ~~then~~withhold federal and state income taxes and report to the applicable Owner or Beneficiary as required by law when amounts are transferred to a state’s unclaimed property fund.

Gifts and Generation-skipping Transfers

If you transfer your Annuity to another person for less than adequate consideration, there may be gift tax consequences in addition to income tax consequences. Also, if you transfer your Annuity to a person two or more generations younger than you (such as a grandchild or grandniece) or to a person that is more than 37½ years younger than you, there may be generation-skipping transfer tax consequences.

Same Sex Marriages, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships

U.S. Treasury Department regulations provide that for federal tax purposes, the ~~Account Value~~term “spouse” does not include individuals (whether of the opposite sex or the same sex) who have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar formal relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of the state where the relationship was entered into, regardless of domicile. As a result, if a Beneficiary of a deceased Owner and the Owner were parties to such a relationship, the Beneficiary will be required by federal tax law to take distributions from the Contract in the ~~MVA Fixed Allocation~~manner applicable to non-spouse Beneficiaries and will not be able to continue the ~~AST Government Money Market Sub-account, which is described in~~Contract. Please consult with your ~~Annuity Prospectus.~~ ~~You can then elect to allocate~~tax or legal adviser before electing the ~~Account Value to any other investment option.~~Spousal Benefit for a civil union partner or domestic partner.

~~Fees and Charges~~

~~Do Fees and Charges Apply to MVA Fixed Allocations?~~

There is no charge that applies specifically to the MVA Fixed Allocation. However, your Annuity is subject to a variety of charges, and those charges may vary depending on benefits and investment options selected. For more information, please see your Annuity Prospectus.9: OTHER INFORMATION

~~Valuing Your Investment in the MVA Fixed Allocation~~

~~How do you value MVA Fixed Allocations?~~

During the Guarantee Period, we use the concept of an Interim Value for the MVA Fixed Allocations. The Interim Value can be calculated on any day and is equal to the initial value allocated to an MVA Fixed Allocation plus all interest credited to an MVA Fixed Allocation as of the date calculated. The Interim Value does not include the impact of any MVA. If you made any transfers or withdrawals from an MVA Fixed Allocation, the Interim Value will reflect the withdrawal of those amounts and any interest credited to those amounts before they were withdrawn. To determine the value of an MVA Fixed Allocation on any day more than 30 days prior to its Maturity Date, we multiply the Account Value of the MVA Fixed Allocation times the MVA factor.

▪	You allocate $100,000 into an MVA Option (we refer to this as the “Allocation Date” in these examples) with a Guarantee Period of 5 years (we refer to this as the “Maturity Date” in these examples).


▪	~~The crediting rate associated with the MVA Option beginning on Allocation Date and maturing on Maturity Date is 2.50% (I = 2.50%).~~


▪	~~You make no withdrawals or transfers until you decide to withdraw the entire MVA Option after exactly three (3) years, at which point 24 months remain before the Maturity Date (N = 24).~~



~~MVA Factor~~	=•	~~[(1+I)/(1+J+0.0025)]~~The date on which required minimum distributions must begin cannot be later than April 1^{^(N/12)st} ~~= [1.025/1.0175]~~² ~~= 1.01480~~of the calendar year after the calendar year you turn age 70½ (or age 72, for distributions required to be made after December 31, 2019, with respect to individuals who attain 70 ½ after such date); and



~~Adjusted Account Value after MVA~~	=	~~Unadjusted Value × MVA Factor = $109,282.86~~



~~Adjusted Account Value after MVA~~	=	~~Unadjusted Value x MVA Factor = $105,109.91~~



I =	the Index Rate established at inception of a DCA MVA Option. This Index Rate will be based on a Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) rate for a maturity (in months) equal to the initial duration of the DCA MVA Option. This CMT rate will be determined based on the weekly average of the CMT Index of appropriate maturity as of two weeks prior to initiation of the DCA MVA Option. The CMT Index will be based on “Treasury constant maturities nominal 12” rates as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. If a CMT index for the number of months needed is not available, the applicable CMT index will be determined based on a linear interpolation of the published CMT indices;

J =	the Index Rate determined at the time the MVA calculation is needed, based on a CMT rate for the amount of time remaining in the DCA MVA Option. The amount of time will be based on the number of complete months remaining in the DCA MVA Option, rounded up to the nearest whole month. This CMT rate will be determined based on the weekly average of the CMT Index of appropriate maturity as of two weeks prior to the date for which the MVA calculation is needed. The CMT Index will be based on “Treasury constant maturities nominal 12” rates as published in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15. If a CMT index for the number of months needed is not available, the applicable CMT index will be determined based on a linear interpolation of the published CMT indices;

K =	~~the Liquidity Factor, currently equal to 0.0025; and~~

N =	~~the number of complete months remaining in the DCA MVA Option, rounded up to the nearest whole month.~~



where: I =	the guaranteed credited interest rate (annual effective) for the given contract at the time of withdrawal or annuitization or settlement.

J =	the interpolated current credited interest rate offered at the time of withdrawal or annuitization or settlement for a new issue with a guarantee period of equal length to the number of years remaining in the Contract’s current guarantee period.

N =	equals the remaining number of months in the contract’s current guarantee period (rounded up) at the time of withdrawal or annuitization or settlement.

1)	Calculate the Charge Free Amount. The Charge Free Amount is the interest credited in the contract in the previous contract year. This amount is $600.00. It is not subject to a Market Value Adjustment.


2)	Subtract the Charge Free Amount from the Contract Value. The result is the amount subject to a Market Value Adjustment (MVA).


4)	Multiply the amount subject to a Market Value Adjustment by the factor calculated in Step 3.


5)	Add together the Market Value Adjustment and the amount subject to the MVA.


6)	Add back the Charge Free Amount to get the total Contract Surrender Value.



N	=	38
I	=	6% (0.06)
J	=	[(61/365) X 0.08] + [((365 – 61)/365) X 0.07] = 0.0717
