*** The Dealer Reallowance is the amount that is paid by the Fund's distributor to the financial intermediary responsible for the sale of the Fund's shares. For more information, please see "How Financial Intermediaries are Compensated for Selling Fund Shares" in this section of the Prospectus.

6.In the section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Fund Shares--How to Buy Shares—Reducing or Waiving Class A's and Class C's Sales Charges" the sentence entitled "Purchases of $1 Million or More" is amended and restated to read as follows:

LR1212

Purchases of $500,000 or More. If you purchase $500,000 or more of Class A shares, you will not be subject to an initial sales charge, although a CDSC may apply, as previously noted.

7.For Funds with both Class B and Class C shares, in the section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Sell Your Shares", the subsection entitled "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)" is amended and restated to read as follows:

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)

If you sell Class B shares within six years of purchase or Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a CDSC. In addition, prior to July 15, 2019, if you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares, although you are not subject to an initial sales charge, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Effective July 15, 2019, if you purchase $500,000 or more of Class A shares, although you are not subject to an initial sales charge, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. To keep the CDSC as low as possible, we will sell amounts representing shares in the following order:

Amounts representing shares you purchased with reinvested dividends and distributions,

Amounts representing the increase in NAV above the total amount of payments for shares made during the past 12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases), six years for Class B shares, and 12 months for Class C shares, and

Amounts representing the cost of shares held beyond the CDSC period (12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases), six years for Class B shares, and 12 months for Class C shares).

Since shares that fall into any of the categories listed above are not subject to the CDSC, selling them first helps you to avoid—or at least minimize—the CDSC.

Having sold the exempt shares first, if there are any remaining shares that are subject to the CDSC, we will apply the CDSC to amounts representing the cost of shares held for the longest period of time within the applicable CDSC period.

The CDSC is calculated based on the lesser of the original purchase price or the net asset value at redemption. The rate decreases on the anniversary date of your purchase.

The holding period for purposes of determining the applicable CDSC will be calculated from the anniversary date of the purchase, excluding any time Class B or Class C shares were held in a money market fund.

8.For Funds with Class C shares and no Class B shares, in the section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Sell Your Shares", the subsection entitled "Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)" is amended and restated to read as follows:

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)

If you sell Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a CDSC. In addition, prior to July 15, 2019, if you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares, although you are not subject to an initial sales charge, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Effective July 15, 2019, if you purchase $500,000 or more of Class A shares, although you are not subject to an initial sales charge, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. To keep the CDSC as low as possible, we will sell amounts representing shares in the following order:

Amounts representing shares you purchased with reinvested dividends and distributions,

Amounts representing the increase in NAV above the total amount of payments for shares made during the past 12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases) and 12 months for Class C shares, and

Amounts representing the cost of shares held beyond the CDSC period (12 months for Class A shares (in certain cases) and 12 months for Class C shares).

Since shares that fall into any of the categories listed above are not subject to the CDSC, selling them first helps you to avoid — or at least minimize — the CDSC.

LR1212

Having sold the exempt shares first, if there are any remaining shares that are subject to the CDSC, we will apply the CDSC to amounts representing the cost of shares held for the longest period of time within the applicable CDSC period.

The CDSC is calculated based on the lesser of the original purchase price or net asset value at redemption. The rate decreases on the anniversary date of your purchase.

The holding period for purposes of determining the applicable CDSC will be calculated from the anniversary date of the purchase, excluding any time Class C shares were held in a money market fund.

9.In Part I of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, the section entitled "Distribution of Fund Shares—Class A Sales Charge and Distribution Expense Information" is amended and restated to read as follows:

CLASS A SALES CHARGE AND DISTRIBUTION EXPENSE INFORMATION. Under the Class A Plan, the Fund may pay the Distributor for its distribution-related activities with respect to Class A shares at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. The Class A Plan provides that (1) 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares may be used to pay for personal service and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts (service fee) and (2) total distribution fees (including the service fee of up to 0.25%) may not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of the Fund. The Prospectus for the Fund discusses any contractual or voluntary fee waivers that may be in effect. In addition, prior to July 15, 2019, if you purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC (defined below) for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (the CDSC is waived for purchase by certain retirement and/or benefit plans). Effective July 15, 2019, if you purchase $500,000 or more of Class A shares, you are subject to a 1.00% CDSC (defined below) for shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase (the CDSC is waived for purchase by certain retirement and/or benefit plans).

For the most recently completed fiscal year, the Distributor received payments under the Class A Plan for the Fund. These amounts were expended primarily for payments of account servicing fees to financial advisers and other persons who sell Class A shares. For the most recently completed fiscal year, the Distributor also received initial sales charges and proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A shares. The amounts received and spent by the Distributor are detailed in the tables below.

10.In Part II of the Fund's Statement of Additional Information, the section entitled "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Fund Shares—Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)" is revised with respect to Class A shares to read as follows:

Class A. Investors who purchase $500,000 or more of Class A shares and sell these shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. (Note: For purchases of Class A shares of PGIM Short- Term Corporate Bond Fund made prior to July 15, 2019 only, investors who purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares and then sell these shares within 18 months of purchase are subject to a 0.50% CDSC).
