Item	5.03    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. On August 30, 2013, Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation (the “Company”) received approval from the Arizona and Connecticut Departments of Insurance to redomesticate the Company from Connecticut to Arizona effective August 31, 2013. In connection with the redomestication, the Company’s Board of Directors and Prudential Annuities, Inc., the Company’s sole shareholder, approved the Company’s Articles of Domestication and amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, which both become effective on August 31, 2013. As a result of the redomestication, the Company is now an Arizona insurance company and its principal insurance regulatory authority is the Arizona Department of Insurance. Additionally, the Company is now domiciled in the same jurisdiction as the primary reinsurer of the Company’s living benefits, Pruco Reinsurance, Ltd. (“Pruco Re”), which is also regulated by the Arizona Department of Insurance. This change enables the Company to claim statutory reserve credit for business ceded to Pruco Re without the need for Pruco Re to collateralize its obligations under the reinsurance agreement. Copies of the Articles of Domestication and the Amended and Restated By-Laws are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively.
Item	8.01    Other Events. The response to Item 5.03 above is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
	9.01    Financial Statements and Exhibits (d)      Exhibits 3.1    Articles of Domestication of Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, effective August 31, 2013. 3.2    Amended and Restated By-Laws of Prudential Annuities Life Assurance Corporation, effective August 31, 2013.
