Prospectus Supplement
(To Prospectus dated March 9, 2012)

5.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2042

The 5.875% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2042, or the "notes", are our unsecured, subordinated debt
instruments and will bear interest from the date they are issued to, but excluding, September 15, 2022, at an annual rate of 5.875%,
payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2013 and ending on
September 15, 2022. From and including September 15, 2022, the notes will bear interest at an annual rate equal to three-month
LIBOR plus 4.175%, payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on
December 15, 2022. So long as no event of default with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, we have the right, on one
or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the notes as described in this prospectus supplement for one or more
consecutive interest periods up to five years. Deferred interest will accrue additional interest at an annual rate equal to the annual
interest rate then applicable to the notes.

The principal amount of the notes will become due on September 15, 2042. Payment of the principal on the notes will be
accelerated only in the case of our bankruptcy or certain other insolvency events with respect to us. There is no right of acceleration
in the case of default in the payment of interest on the notes or the performance of any of our other obligations with respect to the
notes.

We may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to September 15, 2022, within 90 days after the occurrence
of a "tax event", a "rating agency event" or a "regulatory capital event" at a redemption price equal to (i) in the case of a "tax event"
or a "rating agency event", their principal amount or, if greater, a make-whole redemption price calculated as described herein, in
each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest or (ii) in the case of a "regulatory capital event", their principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest. On or after September 15, 2022, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at their principal amount plus accrued
and unpaid interest. In the event the notes are treated as "Tier 2 capital" (or its equivalent) under the capital guidelines of Prudential
Financial, Inc.'s "capital regulator", meaning the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if Prudential Financial, Inc. is
then subject to its regulation, or such other agency or instrumentality of the United States as may then have primary oversight of
Prudential Financial, Inc.'s regulatory capital, any redemption of notes will be subject to our receipt of any required prior approval
from the capital regulator and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in those capital guidelines or any other applicable
regulations of the capital regulator to our redemption of the notes.

We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange.

The notes are not insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency.

Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and the
"Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and other periodic reports,
incorporated by reference herein.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has
approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the
accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

supplement and the accompanying prospectus are only addressed to and are only directed at qualified investors in that Member State
within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of notes in any
Member State of the EEA which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made
pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes. Accordingly
any person making or intending to make any offer in that Relevant Member State of notes which are the subject of the offering
contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation
arises for the Company or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such
offer. Neither the Company nor any underwriter has authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of notes in
circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or any underwriter to publish a prospectus for such offer.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any notes under, the
offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted

(b) in the case of any notes acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus
Directive, (i) the notes acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view
to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, or in circumstances in which the
prior consent of the underwriters has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where notes have been acquired by it on behalf of
persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those notes to it is not treated under the
Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD
Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the
Relevant Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
