Prudential Multi-Sector Fund, Inc. (the Fund) approved
a proposal to exchange the assets and liabilities of
the Fund for shares of the Prudential Jennison Growth
Fund, a series of Prudential Jennison Series Fund, Inc.
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares of the
Fund would be exchanged at net asset value for
respective Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z shares
of equivalent value of the Prudential Jennison Growth

shareholders of Fund. It is anticipated that a proxy
statement/prospectus relating to the transaction will
