 PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company,” which term includes any

[                        ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of ____________________ (any such
currency, currency unit or composite currency being hereinafter referred to as a “Specified Currency”) on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (except, if applicable, to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Stated Maturity Date)
[if the Note is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert —, and to pay interest thereon from the Original Issue Date shown above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on the Interest Payment Date immediately after the Original Issue Date (provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date is after a Regular Record Date and before
the Interest Payment Date immediately following such Regular Record Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date following the Original Issue Date), at the Interest Rate Per Annum set forth above, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment [if applicable insert —, provided that any principal and premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of _____% per annum (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand.]  
 [If the Note is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be
March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day, as such term is defined below), as the case may be, immediately preceding the March 15 and September 15 Interest Payment Dates, provided,
however, that interest payable on the Stated Maturity Date (or upon any earlier date of redemption or repayment) (each such date is referred to herein as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal payable on
such date) will be payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable on such Maturity Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may
either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall
be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner.] 
 [If the Note is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — . The principal of this Note shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration,
upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear interest at the Default Rate per annum specified above (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available

for payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand. [If applicable, insert — Any such interest on overdue
principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the Default Rate specified above (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest shall be legally enforceable) from the date of such demand until the amount so
demanded is paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable upon demand.] 
 Payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note will be made in the Specified Currency shown above, except as hereinafter provided. The Holder of a Note denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars may elect to receive
all such payments in U.S. dollars by delivery of a written request to The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank), as the Paying Agent, at
101 Barclay Street, 8W, New York, New York 10286, Attn.: Corporate Trust Services, in the case of any interest payment due on an Interest Payment Date, on or prior to the applicable Record Date, or, in the case of any other interest payment, on or
prior to the Special Record Date, if one has been established, or in the case of any other payment, at least fifteen calendar days prior to such payment due date. Such written request may be in writing (mailed or hand delivered) or by cable, telex
or other form of facsimile transmission. Such election shall remain in effect unless such request is revoked on or prior to the applicable Record Date or the date fifteen days prior to such payment due date. 
 [If the Note is to be a Global Security, insert — Notwithstanding the foregoing, any nominee of DTC, as Holder, will be deemed to have
elected to receive all payments on a Note denominated other than in U.S. dollars, in U.S. dollars, except to the extent that such Holder requests, in accordance with the then current policies of DTC, that such payments be made in the Specified
Currency, and to such extent payments on such Note will be made in the Specified Currency.]  
 If the Holder of a Note denominated in
a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars has elected to receive payments in U.S. dollars, payment in respect of such Note will be based upon the exchange rate as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent named on the face of this Note based on the
highest firm bid quotation for U.S. dollars received by such Exchange Rate Agent as of 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the second Business Day next preceding the applicable payment date from three recognized foreign exchange dealers in The City
of New York, one of which may be the Exchange Rate Agent, for purchase by the quoting dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. dollars for settlement on such payment date of the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all Holders of
Notes electing to receive U.S. dollar payments and at which the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange costs will be borne by the Holders of such Notes by deductions from such payments. If three such bid quotations
are not available on the second Business Day preceding the payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest with respect to any Note, such payment will be made in the Specified Currency. The term “Business Day” means (i) any day
that is neither a Saturday or Sunday, nor a day on which banking institutions in The City of New 

  

 4 








 
York generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other
than U.S. dollars or euros, a day that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center of the country issuing the Specified Currency; and
(iii) if the Specified Currency is euro, any day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET2) System, or any successor system is open for business. 
 “Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country issuing the Specified Currency, except that with respect to United States
dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” means The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively, and with respect to Euros, the
Principal Financial Center means London. 
 If this Note is denominated in U.S. dollars, payments of interest on this Note on any Interest
Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made by check mailed to the Holder hereof entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of not less than U.S.$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or
different terms and provisions) may, by written notice to the Trustee at its office referred to in the following paragraph on or before the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the related Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date),
elect to have the interest payable on all Notes held by such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, and all such subsequent Interest Payment Dates until written notice to the contrary is given to the Trustee as aforesaid, made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account at a bank in The City of New York (or bank in such other city in the United States consented to by the Company and the Paying Agent) as such Holder shall have designated (not later than such Regular Record
Date or the subsequent related Regular Record Dates), provided that such bank has appropriate facilities therefor. 
 If this Note is
denominated in U.S. dollars, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note which is due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds against presentation and surrender of this Note at the office of
the Trustee in The City of New York, currently at 101 Barclay Street, 8W, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, or at such other office or agency of the Trustee in The City of New York as the Trustee shall designate in
writing sent by mail to the Holders of the Notes at their registered addresses; provided, however, that if such payment is to be made by wire transfer, the Trustee shall have received at least two Business Days prior to such Maturity
Date, appropriate wire transfer instructions in writing from the holder of this Note. 
 If this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency
other than U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified above, payments of interest on, and principal and premium, if any, of this Note to be made in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars will be made by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to an account with a bank located in the country issuing the Specified Currency or in another jurisdiction acceptable to the Company and the Paying Agent as shall have been designated at least 5 business 

  

 5 








 
days prior to the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, by the registered Holder of this Note on the relevant Regular Record Date or
Maturity Date; provided, however, that, in the case of payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest due on the Maturity Date, this Note is presented to the Paying Agent in time for the Paying Agent to make such payments in
such funds in accordance with its normal procedures. Such designation shall be made by filing the appropriate information with the Paying Agent, and, unless revoked, or in the case of a Note registered to a nominee of DTC, not later than the time
required by then-current policies of DTC, any such designation made with respect to any Note by a registered Holder will remain in effect with respect to any further payments with respect to this Note payable to such Holder. If a payment with
respect to this Note cannot be made by wire transfer because the required designation has not been received by the Paying Agent on or before the requisite date or for any other reason, a notice will be mailed to the Holder at its registered address
requesting a designation pursuant to which such wire transfer can be made and, upon the Paying Agent’s receipt of such a designation, such payment will be made within 5 business days of such receipt. The Company will pay any administrative
costs imposed by banks in connection with making payments by wire transfer, but any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payment will be borne by the Holder hereof in respect of which payments are made. Any late payments made in these
circumstances will be treated under the Indenture as if made on the due date, and no interest will accrue on late payments from the due date to the date paid. 
 [If the Note is to be a Global Security, insert — Payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest due on this Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered
owner and the sole Holder of this Note for all purposes under the Indenture.] 
 If this Note is denominated in other than U.S.
dollars and the Specified Currency is not available due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control or is no longer used by the government of the relevant country (unless otherwise replaced by the
euro), then the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders by making payments in U.S. dollars on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. The “Exchange Rate” means the noon buying rate in The City of New
York for cable transfers for such Specified Currency. Any payment made under the circumstances and in a manner described above will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture. 
 If the Specified Currency shown above is converted into or replaced by another currency pursuant to law having general and direct applicability in the
jurisdiction which issued that Specified Currency (which may include European Community law), any payments in respect of this Note otherwise required to be made in such Specified Currency shall be made in the currency into or by which such Specified
Currency has been so converted or replaced, based on the conversion or equivalency rate prescribed by law having general and direct applicability in such jurisdiction (which may include European Community law), and such Specified Currency shall not
be deemed to be unavailable to the Company solely by reason of any such conversion or replacement. 
  

 6 








 If any currency is introduced in the jurisdiction issuing the Specified Currency on the basis of legally
enforceable equivalency to such Specified Currency pursuant to law having general and direct applicability in such jurisdiction (which may include European Community law) in preparation for conversion of such Specified Currency into, or replacement
of such Specified Currency by, such other currency, the Company shall be entitled, at its option, to make any payments in respect of this Note otherwise required to be made in such Specified Currency in such other currency based on the equivalency
rate prescribed by law having general and direct applicability in such jurisdiction (which may include European Community law). Making payments in accordance with this or the preceding paragraph shall not, by itself, constitute a default in the
Company’s obligations to make such payments. No occurrence of a currency conversion, replacement or introduction of a type described in this paragraph or the preceding paragraph involving the Specified Currency shall, by itself, entitle the
Company to avoid its obligations under this Note or entitle the Company or any Holder of this Note to rescission of the purchase and sale of this Note or to reformation of any of the terms hereof on the grounds of impossibility or impracticality of
performance, frustration of purpose or otherwise. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the Certificate of
Authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the Trustee, by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, this Note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 
 Reference herein to “this Note”, “hereof”, “herein” and comparable terms shall include the terms specified on the face and
reverse hereof as well as an Addendum hereto (if an Addendum is specified above).

 [REVERSE OF NOTE] 
 PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL, INC. 
 MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES D 
 DUE ONE YEAR OR MORE FROM DATE OF ISSUE 
 (Fixed
Rate) 
 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to
be issued in one or more series under a Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of April 25, 2003 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as JPMorgan Chase Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under
the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which
the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities of this series have been designated as the Medium-Term Notes, Series D, Due One Year or More from Date of Issue (herein called the “Notes”) and may be issued
from time to time in an aggregate principal amount of up to U.S.$10,000,000,000 or its equivalent in other currencies, currency units, or composite currencies, may mature at different times, bear interest, if any, at different rates, be redeemable
at different times or not at all, be issued at an original issue discount, and be denominated in different currencies; provided, however, that the foregoing limit may be increased or decreased by the Company, if in the future it determines
that it may want to sell additional Securities of this series or other securities. 
 This Note will not be convertible or subject to any
sinking fund and, except as set forth in the following two paragraphs, will not be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to the Stated Maturity Date. 
 If one or more Redemption Dates (or range of Redemption Dates) is specified on the face hereof, this Note will be subject to redemption, in whole or in
part, on any such Redemption Date (or during any such range of Redemption Dates) on or after the Initial Redemption Date specified on the face hereof at the option of the Company upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior
written notice, at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The “Redemption Price” shall initially be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof of the
principal amount of this Note to be redeemed and, if greater than 100%, shall decline at each anniversary of the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the
face hereof of the principal amount to be redeemed until the Redemption Price is 100% of such principal amount. If fewer than all of the Notes 

  

 9 








 
subject to redemption are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
reasonable. 
 If one or more Repayment Dates (or range of Repayment Dates) is specified on the face hereof, this Note will be subject to
repayment, in whole or in part, on any such Repayment Date (or during any such range of Repayment Dates) at the option of the Holder hereof upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, at a price equal to 100%
of the principal amount to be repaid, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for repayment. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, notice of the Holder’s option to elect repayment hereof shall consist of the delivery to the
Trustee of either (i) this Note with the form on the reverse hereof entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” duly completed (with signature guaranteed), or (ii) a telegram, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a
national securities exchange, or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States, setting forth the name of the Holder hereof, the principal amount hereof, the principal amount to be
repaid, the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms hereof and a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that this Note to be repaid, together with the duly completed form (with
signature guaranteed) entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of this Note will be received by the Trustee, in each case, not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter;
provided, however, that such telegram, facsimile transmission or letter shall only be effective if this Note and such form, duly completed, are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. Such option may be exercised with
respect to less than the entire principal amount of this Note, provided that the portion remaining Outstanding after such repayment shall be in an authorized denomination. Exercise of a repayment option by the Holder of this Note will be
irrevocable unless otherwise specified on the face hereof. 
 In the event of redemption or repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note
or Notes of this series and of a like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 If so specified on the face of this Note, the Maturity Date will be automatically extended for such periods and at such times as are set forth herein unless the Holder of the Note elects to terminate the automatic
extension of the Note. The periods and times for which the maturity of the Note is to be automatically renewed, the date beyond which the maturity may not be so renewed, the procedures for the Holder of the Note to elect repayment of the Note in the
event of such renewal and other details must be set forth on the face hereof. 
 Interest payable on this Note on any Interest Payment Date
or the Maturity Date shall be the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the Original Issue Date specified
on the face hereof, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for) to but excluding the applicable Interest 

  

 10 








 
Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). Interest for any Interest Period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of this Note falls on a day that
is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if it were made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the date of such payment on such next succeeding Business Day. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth therein. 
 [If the Note is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.] 
 [If the Note is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — (i) If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series shall
have occurred and be continuing, the amount of principal of this Note which may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture, shall be determined in the manner set forth under “OID Default Amount”
on the face hereof, and (ii) in the case of a default of payment in principal upon acceleration, redemption or at maturity hereof, in lieu of any interest otherwise payable, the overdue principal of this Note shall bear interest at a rate of
interest per annum equal to the Default Rate stated on the face hereof (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such acceleration, redemption or maturity, as the case may be,
to the date payment has been made or duly provided for or such default has been waived in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any
overdue principal, premium and overdue interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest,
if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.] 
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
majority of the Holders in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each
series at the time Outstanding, 

  

 11 








 
on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 
 As
provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy
thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this
series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium, and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth (including, in the case of a Global Note, certain additional
limitations), the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this
Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

U.S.$1,000 and any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof or (ii) if this Note is denominated in a Specified Currency other than U.S. dollars, in the denominations indicated on the face hereof, equivalent to U.S.$1,000 and integral
multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, using an exchange rate equal to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable 

  

 12

exchange and issued to DTC or its nominee and registered in the name of DTC or such nominee. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations (including, in the case of any Global Note, certain additional limitations, which
limitations may be subject to the procedures of DTC) therein set forth, Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested
by the Holder surrendering the same. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
