**PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY**

**PRUCO LIFE FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT**

**PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY**

**PRUCO LIFE OF NEW JERSEY FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT**

**Supplement dated December 31, 2025**

**to Prospectuses and Updating Summary Prospectuses dated May 1, 2025**

This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the current Prospectus and Updating Summary Prospectus ("Prospectus(es)") for your Annuity 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 or Portfolio Prospectus, please call us at 1-888-PRU-2888.**

This Supplement describes changes to the variable investment options available in your Annuity.

**<u>AST Bond Portfolio 2025</u>** 

Effective on or about December 31, 2025, the AST Bond Portfolio 2025 will be closed and liquidated and, as a result, all references to the AST Bond Portfolio 2025 will be deleted from the Prospectus.

**<u>AST Portfolio Addition</u>** 

Effective on or about January 2, 2026, the **AST Bond Portfolio 2037 (the "Portfolio")** will be added to your Annuity as a variable investment option. Please note, however, that this variable investment option is not available for the allocation of Purchase Payments or for transfers – either incoming or outgoing. This Portfolio is available only with certain optional living benefits.

In conjunction with the changes described above, the table captioned "Portfolios Available Under the Annuity" in the "Appendix A" section of the Prospectus will be revised to add the following information:

---

PGIM Fixed Income is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.

PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of the Advanced Series Trust (AST). AST Investment Services, Inc. serves as co-manager, along with PGIM Investments LLC, to many of the Portfolios of AST.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>1</sup> **These Portfolios are also offered in other variable annuity contracts that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula to manage the guarantees offered in connection with optional benefits.** 

Those other variable annuity contracts offer certain optional living benefits that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula (the "formula") to manage the guarantees offered in connection with those optional benefits. The formula monitors each contract Owner's Account Value daily and, if necessary, will systematically transfer amounts among investment options. The formula transfers funds between the Sub-accounts for those variable annuity contracts and an AST bond Portfolio Sub-account or a fixed account (those AST bond Portfolios or a fixed account may not be available in connection with the annuity contracts offered through this prospectus). **You should be aware that the operation of the formula in those other variable annuity contracts may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the underlying Portfolios that are available with your contract. These asset flows could adversely impact the underlying Portfolios, including their risk profile, expenses and performance.** Because transfers between the Sub-accounts and the AST bond Sub-account or a fixed account can be frequent and the amount transferred can vary from day to day, any of the underlying Portfolios could experience the following effects, among others:

(a) a Portfolio's investment performance could be adversely affected by requiring a subadvisor to purchase and sell securities at inopportune times or by otherwise limiting the subadvisor's ability to fully implement the Portfolio's investment strategy;

(b) the subadvisor may be required to hold a larger portion of assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold, which could adversely affect performance if the highly liquid securities underperform other securities (e.g., equities) that otherwise would have been held; and

(c) a Portfolio may experience higher turnover and greater negative asset flows than it would have experienced without the formula, which could result in higher operating expense ratios and higher transaction costs for the Portfolio compared to other similar funds.

The efficient operation of the asset flows among Portfolios triggered by the formula depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended. For example, it is possible that illiquid markets or other market stress could cause delays in the transfer of cash from one Portfolio to another Portfolio, which in turn could adversely impact performance.

Before you allocate to the Sub-account with the AST Portfolios listed above, you should consider the potential effects on the Portfolios that are the result of the operation of the formula in the variable annuity contracts that are unrelated to your Variable Annuity. Please work with your financial professional to determine which Portfolios are appropriate for your needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>2</sup> **Please note that you may not allocate Purchase Payments to the AST Investment Grade Bond Portfolio or the target date bond Portfolios (e.g., AST Bond Portfolio 2026).**

**\* This information includes annual expenses that reflect temporary or other fee reductions or waivers. Please see the Portfolio prospectus for additional information.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <sup>‡</sup> **Please see additional information below regarding certain portfolios.**

 **<u>AST Bond Portfolio 2037</u>** <br> The Portfolio will commence operations on or about January 2, 2026. <br>

**THIS SUPPLEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND RETAINED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.**

Pruco Life, a life insurance company organized under the laws of Arizona, is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. Pruco Life of New Jersey, a life insurance company organized under the laws of New Jersey, is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Pruco Life, and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc.

The subsidiaries of Prudential Financial Inc. ("PFI") are listed under [Exhibit 21.1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of PFI (Registration No. 001-16707), filed on February 13, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1137774/000113777425000044/pru-20241231x10kxexh211.htm), the text of which is hereby incorporated by reference. In addition to those subsidiaries, Prudential holds all of the voting securities of Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation, in three of its separate accounts. Prudential's Gibraltar Fund, Inc. is registered as an open-end, diversified, management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). The separate accounts listed above are registered as unit investment trusts under the Act. Registrant may also be deemed to be under common control with The Prudential Variable Contract Account-2, The Prudential Variable Contract Account-10, and The Prudential Variable Account Contract Account-11, (separate accounts of The Prudential Insurance Company of America which are registered as open-end, diversified management investment companies).

------

ITEM 30. INDEMNIFICATION:

The Registrant, in conjunction with certain of its affiliates, maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a trustee, director, officer, employee, or agent of the Registrant, or who is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of such other affiliated trust or corporation, against any liability asserted against and incurred by him or her arising out of his or her position with such trust or corporation.

Arizona, the state of organization of Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco"), permits entities organized under its jurisdiction to indemnify directors and officers with certain limitations. The relevant provisions of Arizona law permitting indemnification can be found in Section 10-850 et. seq. of the Arizona Statutes Annotated. The text of Pruco's By-law, Article VIII, which relates to indemnification of officers and directors, is incorporated by reference to [Exhibit 3(ii) to its form 10-Q filed August 15, 1997](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/777917/0000950110-97-001300.txt).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 31. PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITERS:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (PAD)
