**Updating Summary Prospectus**<br>**May 1, 2026**

You should read this Updating Summary Prospectus carefully, particularly the section titled "[Important Information You Should Consider About the Annuity](#chapter_4-sect1_1_994)".

An updated statutory prospectus for the Strategic Partners Annuity Contract is currently available online, which contains more information about the Annuity, including its features, benefits, investment options, and risks. You can find the statutory prospectus and other information about the contract online at <u>www.prudential.com/regdocs/PLAZ-SPAO3-STAT</u>. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-888-PRU-2888 or by sending an email request to service@prudential.com.<br>The statutory prospectus describes all the investment options, features, and benefits that we make available under the Annuity. **The availability of investment options, features and benefits described in the statutory prospectus may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold ("financial intermediary variations").** We have identified all such financial intermediary variations that are known or reasonably available to us. Financial intermediary variations may be imposed by some broker-dealers without our knowledge. For example, your Financial Professional may not recommend a particular investment option or benefit to you because of a decision by the Financial Professional's broker-dealer not to offer that investment option or benefit to its customers. Taking into consideration the breadth of our distribution network, we are unable to obtain information about all financial intermediary variations without unreasonable effort or expense. **You should discuss with your Financial Professional any limitations, restrictions, or other variations related to the investment options, benefits or other features available to you through your Financial Professional.** 

This Updating Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the Prudential Strategic Partners statutory prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), both dated May 1, 2026, as amended or supplemented. The SAI may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the prospectus.

Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.

**The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Updating Summary Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

**GLOSSARY OF TERMS**

------

We 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 these words or terms.

**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 make. Except as indicated below, 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.

Generally, if an annuity is owned by an entity and the entity has named a co-annuitant, the co-annuitant will become the annuitant upon the death of the annuitant, and no death benefit is payable. Unless we agree otherwise, the contract is eligible to have a co-annuitant designation only if the entity that owns the contract is (1) a plan described in Internal Revenue Code <br>Section 72(s)(5)(A)(i) (or any successor Code section thereto); (2) an entity described in Code Section 72(u)(1) (or any successor Code section thereto); or (3) a custodial account established pursuant to the provisions in Code Section 408(a) (or any successor Code section thereto) ("Custodial Account").

Where the contract is held by a Custodial Account, the co-annuitant will not automatically become the annuitant upon the death of the annuitant. Upon the death of the annuitant, the Custodial Account will have the choice, subject to our rules, to either elect to receive the death benefit or elect to continue the contract. If the contract is continued, then the Contract Value as of the date of due proof of death of the annuitant will reflect the amount that would have been payable had a death benefit been paid.

**Annuity 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 on which the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is 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 contract's requirements for changing the annuity date are met. No Co-Annuitant may be designated if the owner is a non-natural person.

**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 Value:** This is the total value of your contract, equal to the sum of the values of your investment in each investment option you have chosen. Your Contract Value will go up or down based on the performance of the investment options you choose.

**Contract with Credit:** A version of the annuity contract that provides for a bonus credit with each purchase payment that you make and has higher withdrawal charges and insurance and administrative costs than the Contract Without Credit.

**Contract without Credit:** A version of the annuity contract that does not provide a credit and has lower withdrawal charges and insurance and administrative costs than the Contract With Credit.

**Credit:** An amount we allocate to your Annuity's Account Value each time you make a Purchase Payment. The amount of the Credit is payable from our general account. The amount of the Credit depends on the cumulative amount of Purchase Payments you have made to your Annuity, payable as a percentage of each specific Purchase Payment.

If you choose the Contract With Credit, this is the bonus amount that we allocate to your account each time you make a purchase payment. The amount of the credit is a percentage of the purchase payment. Bonus credits generally are not recaptured once the free look period expires. Our reference in the preceding sentence to "generally are not recaptured" refers to the fact that we have the contractual right to deduct, from the death benefit we pay, the amount of any credit corresponding to a purchase payment made within one year of death.

**Custodial Account:** A trust or Custodial Account that qualifies as an individual retirement account as defined in Section 408(a) of the Code, including a Roth IRA that satisfies the definitions in Sections 408(a) and 408A of the Code.

**Daily Value:** For purposes of the Highest Daily Value Death Benefit, which we describe below, the Contract Value as of the end of each business day. The Daily Value on the contract date is equal to your purchase payment.

[Back to **Table of Contents**](#TOC_994)

**Death Benefit:** If a death benefit is payable, the beneficiary you designate will receive, at a minimum, the total invested purchase payments, reduced proportionally by withdrawals, or a potentially greater amount related to Variable Option appreciation. The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, or Highest Daily Value Death Benefit, was available for an additional charge. See the "Benefits Available Under the Contract" section ofthe statutory prospectus.

**Fixed Allocation:** An allocation of Account Value that is to be credited a fixed rate of interest for a specified Guarantee Period during the accumulation period.

**Good Order:** An instruction received at the Prudential Annuity Service Center, utilizing such forms, signatures and dating as we require, which is sufficiently clear that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions.

**Guarantee Period:** A period of time during which your invested purchase payment in the market value adjustment option earns interest at the declared rate. We may offer one or more guarantee periods.

**Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (GMDB):** An optional benefit available for an additional charge that guarantees that the death benefit that the beneficiary receives will be no less than a certain GMDB protected value. The GMDB is a different death benefit than the Highest Daily Value Death Benefit, which we describe below.

**GMDB Protected Value:** The amount guaranteed under the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit, which may equal the GMDB roll-up value, the GMDB step-up value, or the greater of the two. The GMDB protected value will be subject to certain age restrictions and time durations, however, it will still increase by subsequent invested purchase payments and reduce proportionally by withdrawals.

**GMDB Roll-Up:** We use the GMDB roll-up value to compute the GMDB protected value of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. The GMDB roll-up is equal to the invested purchase payments compounded daily at an effective annual interest rate starting on the date that each invested purchase payment is made, subject to a cap, and reduced by the effect of withdrawals.

**GMDB Step-Up:** We use the GMDB step-up value to compute the GMDB protected value of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. Generally speaking, the GMDB step-up establishes a "high water mark" of protected value that we would pay upon death, even if the Contract Value has declined. For example, if the GMDB step-up were set at $100,000 on a contract anniversary, and the Contract Value subsequently declined to $80,000 on the date of death, the GMDB step-up value would nonetheless remain $100,000 (assuming no additional purchase payments or withdrawals).

**Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB):** An optional benefit available for an additional charge that guarantees that the income payments you receive during the income phase will be no less than a certain GMIB protected value applied to the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates.

**GMIB Protected Value:** We use the GMIB protected value to calculate annuity payments should you annuitize under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit.

The value is calculated daily and is equal to the GMIB roll-up, until the GMIB roll-up either reaches its cap or if we stop applying the annual interest rate based on the age of the annuitant, number of contract anniversaries or number of years since last GMIB reset. At such point, the GMIB protected value will be increased by any subsequent invested purchase payments, and any withdrawals will proportionally reduce the GMIB protected value. The GMIB protected value is not available as a cash surrender benefit or a death benefit, nor is it used to calculate the cash surrender value or death benefit.

**GMIB Reset:** You may elect to "step-up" or "reset" your GMIB protected value if your Contract Value is greater than the current GMIB protected value. Upon exercise of the reset provision, your GMIB protected value will be reset to equal your current Contract Value. You are limited to two resets over the life of your contract, provided that certain annuitant age requirements are met.

**GMIB Roll-Up:** We will use the GMIB roll-up value to compute the GMIB protected value of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit. The GMIB roll-up is equal to the invested purchase payments (after a reset, the Contract Value at the time of the reset) compounded daily at an effective annual interest rate starting on the date each invested purchase payment is made, subject to a cap, and reduced proportionally by withdrawals.

**Highest Daily Lifetime Five Benefit:** An optional benefit that, for an additional cost, guarantees your ability to withdraw an annual amount equal to a percentage of a guaranteed benefit base called the Total Protected Withdrawal Value. Subject to our rules regarding the timing and amount of withdrawals, we guarantee these withdrawal amounts, regardless of the impact of Variable Option performance on your Contract Value. We no longer offer Highest Daily Lifetime Five.

**Highest Daily Lifetime Seven Income Benefit:** An optional benefit that is available for an additional charge. The benefit guarantees your ability to withdraw amounts equal to a percentage of a guaranteed benefit base called the Protected Withdrawal Value. Subject to our rules regarding the timing and amount of withdrawals, we guarantee these withdrawal amounts, regardless of the impact of Sub-account performance on your Account Value. Highest Daily Lifetime Seven is the same class of optional benefit as our Highest Daily Lifetime Five Income Benefit, but differs (among other things) with respect to how the Protected Withdrawal Value is calculated and how the lifetime withdrawals are calculated. We no longer offer Highest Daily Lifetime Seven.

**Highest Daily Lifetime 7 Plus Income Benefit:** An optional benefit that is available for an additional charge. The benefit guarantees your ability to withdraw amounts equal to a percentage of a guaranteed benefit base called the Protected Withdrawal Value. Subject to our rules regarding the timing and amount of withdrawals, we guarantee these withdrawal amounts, regardless of the impact of Sub-account performance on your Account Value.

**The additional information below may be applicable to the Portfolios listed in the above table.**

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

PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of The Prudential Series Fund (PSF).

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.

PGIM Real Estate is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.

1. **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 Variable Options for those variable annuity contracts and an AST Bond Portfolio Variable Option 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 Variable Options and the AST Bond Variable Option 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:

(1) 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;

(2) 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

(3) 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 Variable Option 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.

2. The AST Investment Grade Bond Variable Option is not available for allocation of Purchase Payments or contract Owner transfers.
