The Fifth Amendment is effective August 23, 2023.

Pursuant to the Fifth Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of senior secured promissory notes that may be issued under the shelf facility referred to in the Note Purchase and Shelf Agreement (the “Shelf Facility”) was increased from $140 million (the most recent maximum amount previously authorized by PGIM, Inc.) to $250 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and at the discretion of the purchasers of such notes. Additionally, the period for issuing senior secured promissory notes under the Shelf Facility was extended from August 23, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
