KPMG LLP (KPMG) served as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Funds, included in Appendix A, each a series of Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc., for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018. KPMG's reports on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During such fiscal year-ends and through December 12, 2019, the date of dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the Funds' financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no "reportable events" of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On December 12, 2019, the Audit Committee and the Company's Board of Directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for Funds' fiscal year ending October 31, 2020, thereby replacing KPMG effective upon completion of their October 31, 2019 audits and issuance of their reports thereon. During the Funds' fiscal years ended October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018 and through December 12, 2019, neither Prudential Global Total Return Fund, Inc., nor the Funds, nor anyone on their behalf, consulted with PwC on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds' financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S- K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).
