Legal Proceedings
On October 27, 1995, a class action lawsuit was
instituted against the Fund, Prudential Securities
Incorporated (PSI), Prudential Securities Group, Inc.,
Prudential Insurance Company of America, PMF, Prudential
Investment Corporation, Prudential Mutual Fund Distributors,
Inc., and Prudential Mutual Fund Services, Inc. The suit
was brought as a class action purportedly on behalf of the
class of all past and present holders of PSI brokerage
accounts for the period from February 27, 1986 up to, and
including February 28, 1995 who at any time during that
period held a free credit balance in said account of $100.00
to $1,000.00 (or a free credit balance of $1.00 to $1,000.00
in the case of a retirement and employee savings plan or
custodial account for the benefit of minors), which was not
utilized by PSI to purchase shares in the Fund. The
complaint alleges that, contrary to the money market
purchase policy disclosed in the Fund's prospectuses dated
February 27, 1986 through and including July 15, 1994, PSI
failed, in certain instances, to automatically invest such
free credit balances in the Fund thereby benefiting from the
"float" on the uninvested proceeds. The plaintiffs seek
damages as well as other relief and remedies for the
defendants' alleged violations of the Federal securities
laws and regulations, civil RICO and state statutory claims
and causes of action and breaches of the common law. On
June 4, 1996 the defendant's motion to change venue was
granted and the case was transferred to the Southern
District of New York. On August 16, 1996 the action was
refiled in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District
of New York as part of a consolidated action in which the
Fund is no longer a named defendant.
