The following statement is being issued by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP regarding the Prudential Securities Litigation:

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

TO: ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES WHO PURCHASED THE COMMON STOCK OF PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC. BETWEEN JUNE 5, 2019 AND AUGUST 2, 2019, INCLUSIVE (“CLASS” OR “CLASS MEMBERS”)

THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on June 13, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., before the Honorable Stanley R. Chesler at the United States District Court, District of New Jersey, Senator Frank R. Lautenberg Building, 2 Federal Square, Newark, NJ, 07101-0999, to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement (the “Settlement”) of the above-captioned Litigation as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”)¹ for $35 million in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate; (2) the Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered dismissing the Litigation with prejudice; (3) to award Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel attorneys’ fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action (“Notice”), which is discussed below) and, if so, in what amounts; and (4) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate.

There exists the possibility that the Court may decide to conduct the Settlement Hearing by video or telephonic conference, or otherwise allow Class Members to appear at the hearing by phone or videoconference, without further written notice to the Class. In order to determine whether the date and time of the Settlement Hearing have changed, or whether Class Members must or may participate by phone or video, it is important that you monitor the Court’s docket and the Settlement website, www.PrudentialSecuritiesSettlement.com, before making any plans to attend the Settlement Hearing. Any updates regarding the Settlement Hearing, including any changes to the date or time of the hearing or updates regarding in-person or telephonic appearances at the hearing, will also be posted to that website. Also, if the Court requires or allows Class Members to participate in the Settlement Hearing by telephone or videoconference, the access information will be posted to the Settlement website, www.PrudentialSecuritiesSettlement.com.

IF YOU PURCHASED PRUDENTIAL COMMON STOCK BETWEEN JUNE 5, 2019 AND AUGUST 2, 2019, INCLUSIVE, YOUR RIGHTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THIS LITIGATION.

To share in the distribution of the Settlement Fund, you must establish your rights by submitting a Proof of Claim and Release form (“Proof of Claim”) by mail (postmarked no later than July 30, 2024) or electronically (no later than July 30, 2024). Your failure to submit your Proof of Claim by July 30, 2024, will subject your claim to rejection and preclude your receiving any of the recovery in connection with the Settlement of this Litigation. If you purchased Prudential common stock between June 5, 2019 and August 2, 2019, inclusive, and do not request exclusion from the Class, you will be bound by the Settlement and any judgment and release entered in the Litigation, including, but not limited to, the Judgment, whether or not you submit a Proof of Claim.
