New Securities
Effective August 1, 1994, the Fund amended its Articles of
Incorporation to add a conversion feature for Class B shares and to
create a third class of shares, designated Class C shares. The
conversion feature added to Class B shares will result in Class B
shares automatically converting to Class A shares after a specified
number of years. The new Class C shares represent an interest in
the same assets of the Fund as the Class A and Class B shares and
are identical to the currently existing Class A and Class B shares
except that they (i) are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee of up to 1% of
the average daily net assets of the Class C shares and to a
contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1% for redemptions made
within one year of purchase, (ii) have exclusive voting rights with
respect to its Distribution and Service Plan, (iii) have a
different exchange privilege, and (iv) do not have a conversion
feature.

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT
OF
PRUDENTIAL-BACHE GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FUND, INC.
PRUDENTIAL-BACHE GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FUND, INC., a Maryland
corporation having its principal offices in Baltimore, Maryland
and New York, New York (the "Corporation"), hereby certifies to
the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland
that:
FIRST: Article I of the Corporation's Charter is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
The name of the corporation (hereinafter called the
"Corporation") is Prudential Growth Opportunity Fund, Inc.
SECOND: Article IV, Section 1 of the Corporation's
Charter is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
ARTICLE IV
Common Stock
Section 1. The total number of shares of capital stock which
the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 750,000,000
shares of the par value of $.01 per share and of the aggregate
par value of $7,500,000 to be divided initially into three
classes, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock, 250,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 250,000,000
shares of Class C Common Stock.
(a) Each share of Class A, Class B and Class C Common
Stock of the Corporation shall represent the same interest
in the Corporation and have identical voting, dividend,
liquidation and other rights except that (i) Expenses
related to the distribution of each class of shares shall be
borne solely by such class; (ii) The bearing of such
expenses solely by shares of each class shall be
appropriately reflected (in the manner determined by the
Board of Directors) in the net asset value, dividends,
distribution and liquidation rights of the shares of such
class; (iii) The Class A Common Stock shall be subject to a
front-end sales load and a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee as
determined by the Board of Directors from time to time; (iv)
The Class B Common Stock shall be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge and a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee as
determined by the Board of Directors from time to time; and
(v) The Class C Common Stock shall be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge and a Rule 12b-1
distribution fee as determined by the Board of Directors
from time to time. All shares of each particular class
shall represent an equal proportionate interest in that
class, and each share of any particular class shall be equal
to each other share of that class.
(b) Each share of the Class B Common Stock of the
Corporation shall be converted automatically, and
without any action or choice on the part of the holder
thereof, into shares (including fractions thereof) of
the Class A Common Stock of the Corporation (computed
in the manner hereinafter described), at the applicable
net asset value per share of each Class, at the time of
the calculation of the net asset value of such Class B
Common Stock at such times, which may vary between
shares originally issued for cash and shares purchased
through the automatic reinvestment of dividends and
distributions with respect to Class B Common Stock
(each "Conversion Date"), determined by the Board of
Directors in accordance with applicable laws, rules,
regulations and interpretations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. and pursuant to such
procedures as may be established from time to time by
the Board of Directors and disclosed in the
Corporation's then current prospectus for such Class A
and Class B Common Stock.
(c) The number of shares of the Class A Common
Stock of the Corporation into which a share of the
Class B Common Stock is converted pursuant to Paragraph
(1)(b) hereof shall equal the number (including for
this purpose fractions of a share) obtained by dividing
the net asset value per share of the Class B Common
Stock for purposes of sales and redemptions thereof at
the time of the calculation of the net asset value on
the Conversion Date by the net asset value per share of
the Class A Common Stock for purposes of sales and
redemptions thereof at the time of the calculation of
the net asset value on the Conversion Date.
(d) On the Conversion Date, the shares of the
Class B Common Stock of the Corporation converted into
shares of the Class A Common Stock will cease to accrue
dividends and will no longer be outstanding and the
rights of the holders thereof will cease (except the
right to receive declared but unpaid dividends to the
Conversion Date).
(e) The Board of Directors shall have full power
and authority to adopt such other terms and conditions
concerning the conversion of shares of the Class B
Common Stock to shares of the Class A Common Stock as
they deem appropriate; provided such terms and
conditions are not inconsistent with the terms
contained in this Section 1 and subject to any
restrictions or requirements under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the rules, regulations and
interpretations thereof promulgated or issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any conditions or
limitations contained in an order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the
Corporation, or any restrictions or requirements under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
rules, regulations and interpretations promulgated or
issued thereunder.
THIRD: (a) As of immediately before the amendment
the total number of shares of stock of all classes which the
Corporation has authority to issue is 500,000,000 Shares, all of
which are Common Stock (par value $ .01 per share).
(b) As amended, the total number of shares
of stock of all classes which the Corporation has authority to
issue is 750,000,000 shares, all of which are Common Stock (par
value $ .01 per share).

having a par value is $5,000,000 before the amendment and
$7,500,000 as amended.
(d) A description, as amended, of the Class
A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock is
as set forth above.
FOURTH: The foregoing amendments to the Charter of the
Corporation have been advised by the Board of Directors and
approved by a majority of the shareholders of the Corporation.

To the Board of Directors of
Prudential Growth Opportunity Fund, Inc.
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Prudential
Growth Opportunity Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the year ended September 30,
1994, we considered its internal control structure, including procedures for
safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the
purposes of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, and not to provide assurance on the
internal control structure.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and
judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related
costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. Two of the
objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are appropriately
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that
transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and
recorded properly to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or
irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any
evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that it may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of
the design and operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not necessarily
disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be material
weaknesses under standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters
involving the internal control structure, including procedures for safeguarding
securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
September 30, 1994.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
