2020 Terms and Conditions of the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Program
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This document is intended to help you understand the main features of the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Program (the Program) under the Prudential Financial, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Plan). Unless otherwise indicated, you should refer to this document only for grants made in 2020, because terms may change from year to year. The Parts of this document (other than Part A which is relevant to all Awards granted under the Plan) that are relevant to you are the Part or Parts that relate to the type or types of Award that are granted to you under the Plan.
This document is not a substitute for the official Plan documents, which govern the operation of the Plan. All terms and conditions of the Program and the Plan, including your eligibility and any benefits, will be determined pursuant to, and are governed by, the provisions of the Plan documents. If there is any discrepancy between the information in this document or in any other materials relating to the Plan and the Plan documents, or if there is a conflict between information discussed by anyone acting on behalf of Prudential and the Plan documents, the Plan documents, as interpreted by the Compensation Committee as the Plan administrator in its sole discretion, will always govern.
Prudential may, in its sole discretion, modify, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program, the Plan, or any and all of the policies, programs and plans described in this document in whole or in part, at any time, without notice to or the consent of any Participant to the extent permissible under Applicable Laws.
Nothing contained in this document, or in any other materials related to the Program or the Plan, is intended to constitute or create a contract of employment nor will it constitute or create the right to remain associated with or in the employ of Prudential for any particular period of time. For U.S. Participants only, employment with Prudential is employment-at-will; this means that either you or Prudential may terminate the employment relationship or association at any time, with or without cause or notice, subject to the Notice Period requirement in Section 6(e) of Part A of this document.
