AST Bond Portfolio 2034 (each a “Bond Portfolio” and collectively, the “Bond Portfolios”): 

With respect to each of the Bond Portfolios, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive 0.02% of its investment management fee through June 30, 2025. In addition, the Manager has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Portfolio so that the Portfolio's management fee plus other expenses (exclusive, in all cases of, brokerage, taxes (such as income and foreign withholding taxes, stamp duty and deferred tax expenses), extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and certain other Portfolio expenses such as dividend and interest expense and broker charges on short sales) do not exceed 0.910% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets through June 30, 2025. Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Manager may be recouped by the Manager within the same fiscal year during which such waiver/reimbursement is made if such recoupment can be realized without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time of the recoupment for that fiscal year. This arrangement may not be terminated or modified without the prior approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees.
