These values represent the fair value of the 15% discount.

## Table 1 ##
Restricted Stock Shares, Restricted Stock Units, and Performance Share Awards A restricted stock share represents a grant of Common Stock to employee and non-employee participants that is subject to certain transfer restrictions and forfeiture provisions for a specified period of time.
A restricted stock unit is an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a share of Common Stock at the end of a specified period of time, which is also subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions.
Generally, the restrictions on restricted stock shares and restricted stock units will lapse on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
Restricted stock shares subject to the transfer restrictions and forfeiture provisions are considered nonvested shares and are not reflected as outstanding shares until the restrictions expire.
Performance share awards are awards of units denominated in Common Stock.
The number of units is determined over the performance period, and may be adjusted based on the satisfaction of certain performance goals.
Performance share awards are payable in Common Stock.
A summary of the Company’s employee restricted stock shares, restricted stock units and performance shares is as follows:
## Table 2 ##
(1) Performance shares reflect the target awarded, reduced for cancellations and vesting to date.
The actual number of shares to be awarded at the end of each performance period will range between 50% and 150% of the target for awards granted in 2005 and 2006, and between 0% and 150% of the target for awards granted in 2007, based upon a measure of the reported performance for the Company’s Financial Services Businesses relative to stated goals.
(2) Represents additional shares issued based upon the attainment of performance goals for the Company’s Financial Services Businesses.
MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Prudential Financial’s Common Stock was issued to eligible policyholders in Prudential Insurance’s demutualization and sold to investors in Prudential Financial’s initial public offering.
The Common Stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PRU” on December 13, 2001.
The following table presents the high and low closing prices for the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the periods indicated and the dividends declared per share during such periods:
## Table 3 ##
On January 31, 2008, there were 2,505,853 registered holders of record for the Common Stock and 444 million shares outstanding.
The Class B Stock was issued to institutional investors (two subsidiaries of American International Group, Inc.  and Pacific Life Corp. ) in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 on the date of demutualization.
There is no established public trading market for the Class B Stock.
During the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006, Prudential Financial paid an annual dividend of $9.625 per share of Class B Stock.
On January 31, 2008, there were three holders of record for the Class B Stock and 2 million shares outstanding.
Prudential Financial’s Board of Directors currently intends to continue to declare and pay annual dividends on the Common Stock and Class B Stock.
Future dividend decisions will be based on, and affected by, a number of factors including the financial performance of the Financial Services Businesses and Closed Block Business; our overall financial condition, results of operations, cash requirements and future prospects; regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by Prudential Financial’s subsidiaries; and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Dividends payable by Prudential Financial are limited to the amount that would be legally available for payment under New Jersey corporate law.
For additional information on dividends and related regulatory restrictions, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2005, Prudential Financial issued in a private placement $2.0 billion of floating rate convertible senior notes, convertible by the holders at any time after issuance into cash and shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
The Company used substantially all of the offering proceeds to purchase an investment grade fixed income investment portfolio as well as to repurchase, under the Company’s 2005 share repurchase authorization, shares of its Common Stock.
In April 2007, Prudential Financial announced its intention to call all such outstanding floating rate convertible senior notes for redemption on May 21, 2007.
Prior to the redemption, substantially all holders elected to convert their senior notes as provided under their terms.
The senior notes required net settlement in shares; therefore, upon conversion, the holders received cash equal to the par amount of the senior notes surrendered for conversion plus accrued interest and shares of Prudential Financial Common Stock for the portion of the settlement amount in excess of the par amount.
The settlement amount in excess of the par amount was based upon the excess of the closing market price of Prudential Financial Common Stock for a 10-day period defined under the terms of the senior notes, or $100.80 per share, over the initial conversion price of $90 per share.
Accordingly, at conversion the Company issued 2,367,887 shares of Common Stock from treasury.
The conversion had no impact on the Company’s results of operations and resulted in a net increase to shareholders’ equity of $44 million, reflecting the tax benefit associated with the conversion of the senior notes.
The payment of principal and accrued interest was funded primarily through the liquidation of the investment grade fixed income investment portfolio purchased with the proceeds from the original issuance of these notes.
In December 2006, Prudential Financial issued in a private placement $2.0 billion of floating rate convertible senior notes, convertible by the holders at any time after issuance into cash and shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
The Company used the majority of the offering proceeds initially to invest in an investment grade fixed income investment portfolio, while the remainder of the proceeds were used for general corporate purposes and to repurchase shares of its Common Stock under the 2006 share repurchase authorization.
On December 12, 2007, $117 million of senior notes were repurchased by Prudential Financial at the request of the holders and prior to this event we liquidated the investment portfolio.
The remaining proceeds are invested in short-term instruments and may be used to fund operations in lieu of other short-term borrowings in future periods.
In December 2007, Prudential Financial issued in a private placement $3.0 billion of floating rate convertible senior notes, convertible by the holders at any time after issuance into cash and shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
The Company used the majority of the offering proceeds to fund operating needs of our subsidiaries, to purchase short-term investment grade fixed income investments and for general corporate purposes, as well as to repurchase shares of its Common Stock under the 2007 share repurchase authorization.
For additional information about our convertible senior notes see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
