Strategy and Performance Overview*
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.
How did the Fund perform?
The PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.’s shares returned 3.08% based on market price and 5.60% based on net asset value (NAV) in the six-month reporting period that ended January 31, 2026. For the same period, the Bloomberg Global High Yield 2% Issuer Constrained (USD Hedged) Index (the “Index”) returned 4.96%, including reinvestment of dividends.
What were market conditions?
| • | Global high yield spreads tightened during the reporting period as risk assets benefited from a backdrop of taming inflation, steady growth, and a resilient technical environment. Meanwhile, the technical backdrop remained supportive due to a variety of factors, including lower new issuance, sizeable rising stars, and a growing share of below-investment-grade companies opting to issue in the private markets instead. |
| • | In the U.S., spreads on the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index tightened by 23 basis points (bps) to end the period at 266 bps. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) This Index posted total returns and excess returns of 3.92% and 0.44%, respectively, over the period. By quality, all ratings categories exhibited positive total returns, with lower-quality (CCC-rated) bonds outperforming. High yield capital market activity over the period totaled approximately $217 billion ($68 billion ex-refinancing). The par-weighted U.S. high yield default rate, including distressed exchanges, ended the period at 1.97%, up from 1.43% at the beginning of the period, according to J.P. Morgan. |
| • | In Europe, spreads on the Bloomberg Pan-European High Yield Index tightened by 28 bps to end the period at 273 bps, amid improved risk sentiment and limited net new issuance. By quality, all credit tiers posted positive returns, with CCC-rated bonds outperforming as risk sentiment improved markedly over the period. |
| • | In the emerging markets debt sector, fundamentals remained resilient, with high yield sovereigns and corporates posting positive total returns, helping to drive spread compression to historically tight levels amid negative net supply. Emerging markets hard currency spreads, as measured by the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, tightened during the period, with the high yield portion of the Index tightening 70 bps to end the period at 245 bps. |
What worked?
| • | Having more market risk in the Fund, on average, than the Index was a strong contributor to relative returns over the reporting period. Overall industry allocation contributed to performance. |
| • | Among industry positions, overweights to foreign non-corporate and paper & packaging, and an underweight to technology contributed the most to performance. |
6 Visit our website at pgim.com/closed-end-fund-documents
| • | Within security selection, selection in telecom, foreign non-corporate, and cable & satellite contributed the most to performance. |
| • | Within sector allocation, an overweight to the emerging markets high yield corporate sector was the largest contributor to performance. |
| • | Overweights to Digicel Investments, Ltd. (telecom), Republic of Argentina (foreign non-corporate), and Republic of Lebanon (foreign non-corporate) were among the largest single-name contributors to performance. |
What didn’t work?
| • | Within security selection, selection in chemicals, paper & packaging, and media & entertainment detracted the most from performance. |
| • | Within sector allocation, overweights to the U.S. bank loan, U.S. high yield corporate, and European high yield corporate sectors detracted the most from performance. |
| • | Among industry positions, overweights to the chemicals, automotive, and telecom sectors detracted the most from performance. |
| • | Overweights to Platinum Equity Capital Partners IV LP (Paper & Packaging), Herens Topco Sarl (Chemicals), and Kieppe Patrimonial SA (Chemicals) were among the largest single-name detractors from performance. |
How did the Fund’s borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance?
The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to results during the reporting period as the returns of the securities purchased exceeded the cost of borrowing. At the end of the period, the Fund had borrowed $100 million and was about 15.5% leveraged. During the reporting period, the average amount of leverage utilized by the Fund was about 15.7%.
Did the Fund use derivatives?
The Fund utilized credit index derivatives to manage its overall risk profile, which had a positive impact on performance during the reporting period. In addition, the Fund traded derivatives in the form of U.S. Treasury futures and total return swaps, the combined impact of which was negative.
Current outlook
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects spreads to maintain a range near historical tights, as persistently strong technicals and a robust credit environment offset prevailing global macro risks. While still constructive overall, PGIM Fixed Income maintains close-to-home defensive positioning across all regions. Late-cycle conditions in direct lending warrant greater selectivity on new deals, heightened attention to lender protections, and an emphasis on add-on opportunities with existing portfolio companies. |
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 7
Strategy and Performance Overview* (continued)
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects U.S. high yield bond spreads to remain rangebound near historic tights over the coming months on strong technicals and robust credit fundamentals. PGIM Fixed Income believes high yield spreads entered a late-cycle phase, an environment of tight spreads and low volatility—that could last throughout much of 2026. Thus, PGIM Fixed Income’s base case is for spreads to end the year only marginally wider. |
| • | While relatively tame “animal spirits” have curtailed primary supply, PGIM Fixed Income expects increased merger and acquisition, leveraged buyout, and artificial intelligence-related CapEx transactions this year, limiting any meaningful spread tightening from current levels. That said, PGIM Fixed Income believes that the sector should still generate positive total returns in the coming quarters, particularly as a potential rise in defaults amid re-leveraging and more aggressive behavior may not occur for some time. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects solid market technicals to persist beyond the first quarter of 2026, supported by the healthy pace of refinancing, low speculative borrowing, and modest inflows. Further, PGIM Fixed Income believes that the continued strength in credit fundamentals provides a buffer against macro uncertainty. Indeed, the accompanying chart shows today’s high yield market is higher in credit quality with a shorter average duration when compared to the period of historically tight spreads in June 2007. However, geopolitical risks remain, while potential overheating from monetary and fiscal stimulus could push spreads wider, and the use of private equity uncommitted cash could reignite speculative issuance. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income is maintaining an overweight to short-duration bonds and is continuing to reduce the Fund’s underweight to high-quality issues. Looking at sectors, the Fund is overweight home construction, telecom, and midstream energy, and underweight technology, media & entertainment, and retailers & restaurants. However, recent adjustments include an increase to the overweight to paper & packaging, a further reduction in overweights to building materials, home construction, and telecom, and an increase in the underweight to technology. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects the European high yield bond and leveraged loan markets to remain resilient in early 2026, supported by strong technicals such as limited net new supply, elevated yields, solid retail flows, overall short duration, solid fundamentals, and continued collateralized loan obligation formation (in the case of loans). Absent a broad market risk-off event, PGIM Fixed Income believes that the technical environment should keep spreads near their current, historically tight levels. For full-year 2026, assuming a “muddle through” global economic scenario as a base case, PGIM Fixed Income expects total returns in high yield bonds and bank loans to reach 5.5% and 4.0%, respectively. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income is cautiously constructive looking ahead—while technicals are strong and spreads remain close to all-time tights, macro risks remain elevated. Accordingly, the Fund remains slightly overweight risk on an aggregate basis, with |
8 Visit our website at pgim.com/closed-end-fund-documents
| select overweights in cyclicals where the cycle is fully priced in. PGIM Fixed Income continues to focus on relative value opportunities such as maintaining a high-threshold for high-beta names exhibiting elevated volatility, given the relatively wide range of macro outcomes. |
| • | Regarding emerging markets corporates, spreads remained well anchored in the fourth quarter of 2025, driving positive returns. PGIM Fixed Income believes this will likely remain the case in the first quarter of 2026, given the strong fundamentals and still elevated spread pick-up to developed market high yield. While emerging markets corporates significantly lagged sovereigns over the past quarter and year, this came after a period of strong outperformance. PGIM Fixed Income expects overall defaults to remain contained in the 3% area for emerging markets high yield going forward (in line with developed markets), given very manageable refinancing needs and resiliency in the underlying emerging markets economies. |

Strategy and Performance Overview*
PGIM High Yield Bond Fund, Inc.
How did the Fund perform?
The PGIM High Yield Bond Fund, Inc.’s shares returned 6.45% based on market price and 4.05% based on net asset value (NAV) in the six-month reporting period that ended January 31, 2026. For the same period, the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index (the “Index”) returned 3.95%.
What were market conditions?
| • | U.S. high yield spreads tightened during the reporting period, as risk assets benefited from a backdrop of taming inflation, steady growth, and a resilient technical environment. The technical backdrop remained supportive due to a variety of factors, including subdued but substantial primary market activity, rising overall credit quality in the market, and solid inflows. |
| • | Spreads on the Index tightened by 23 basis points (bps) to end the period at 266 bps. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) The Index posted total returns and excess returns of 3.95% and 0.44%, respectively, over the period. By quality, all ratings categories exhibited positive total returns, with lower-quality (CCC-rated) bonds outperforming. |
| • | High yield capital market activity over the period totaled approximately $217 billion ($68 billion ex-refinancing). The par-weighted U.S. high yield default rate, including distressed exchanges, ended the period at 1.97%, up from 1.43% at the beginning of the period, according to J.P. Morgan. |
What worked?
| • | Having more market risk in the Fund, on average, than the Index was a strong contributor to relative performance over the reporting period. |
| • | Overall, security selection contributed the most to performance, with selection in telecom, cable & satellite, and health care & pharmaceutical contributing. |
| • | While overall sector allocation detracted from performance, overweights to the U.S. high yield corporates, emerging markets high yield corporates, and AAA collateralized loan obligation sectors contributed to performance. |
| • | While overall industry allocation detracted from performance, an underweight to technology and overweights to cable & satellite and building materials & home construction contributed to performance. |
| • | In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights to Digicel Investments, Ltd. (telecom) and Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (midstream energy), and an underweight to HBSFA Holdings, Ltd. (retailers & restaurants) were the largest contributors to performance. |
What didn’t work?
| • | While overall security selection contributed to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index, selection in media & entertainment, automotive, and paper & packaging detracted from performance. |

| • | Overall sector allocation detracted from performance, with overweights to the U.S. bank loan and European bank loan sectors detracting the most. |
| • | Among industry positions, underweights to automotive, media & entertainment, and retailers & restaurants detracted from performance. |
| • | In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights to First Brands Group, LLC (automotive), Diamond Sports Group LLC (media & entertainment), and Platinum Equity Capital Partners L.P. (paper & packaging) were the largest detractors from performance. |
How did the Fund’s borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance?
The Fund did not use leverage during the reporting period.
Did the Fund use derivatives?
The Fund used credit index derivatives to manage its overall risk profile, which had a positive impact on performance during the reporting period. In addition, the Fund traded futures, swaps, and foreign exchange derivatives, the combined impact of which was negative.

Strategy and Performance Overview*
PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund
How did the Fund perform?
The PGIM Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Fund’s shares returned 3.34% based on market price and 2.96% based on net asset value (NAV) in the six-month reporting period that ended January 31, 2026. For the same period, the Bloomberg US High Yield Ba/B 1-5 Year 1% Capped Index (the “Index”) returned 3.74%, including reinvestment of dividends.
What were market conditions?
| • | U.S. high yield spreads tightened during the reporting period as risk assets benefited from a backdrop of taming inflation, steady growth, and a resilient technical environment. The technical backdrop remained supportive due to a variety of factors, including subdued but substantial primary market activity, rising overall credit quality in the market, and solid inflows. |
| • | Spreads on the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield 1% Issuer Capped Index tightened by 23 basis points (bps) to end the period at 266 bps. (One basis point equals 0.01%.) This Index posted total returns and excess returns of 3.92% and 0.44%, respectively, over the period. By quality, all ratings categories exhibited positive total returns, with lower-quality (CCC-rated) bonds outperforming. |
| • | High yield capital market activity over the period totaled approximately $217 billion ($68 billion ex-refinancing). The par-weighted U.S. high yield default rate, including distressed exchanges, ended the period at 1.97%, up from 1.43% at the beginning of the period, according to J.P. Morgan. |
What worked?
| • | Having more market risk in the Fund, on average, than the Index over the reporting period was a strong contributor to performance. |
| • | While overall security selection detracted from performance, selection in telecom, health care & pharmaceutical, and cable & satellite contributed to performance. |
| • | While overall sector allocation detracted from performance, overweights to the AAA CLO and emerging markets high yield sectors contributed to performance. |
| • | While industry allocation detracted from performance, an underweight to technology and overweights to property & casualty and cable & satellite contributed to performance. |
| • | In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights to Digicel Investments, Ltd. (telecom) and EchoStar Corp. (cable & satellite), and an underweight to Sabre Corp. (technology) contributed to performance. |

What didn’t work?
| • | Overall sector allocation detracted the most from performance, with overweights to the U.S. bank loans and U.S. high yield corporates sectors detracting the most. |
| • | Overall security selection detracted from performance, with selection in paper & packaging, automotive, and midstream energy detracting the most. |
| • | Overall industry allocation was a detractor, with an overweight to automotive and underweights to chemicals and upstream energy detracting the most from performance. |
| • | In individual security selection, the Fund’s overweights to First Brands Group Holdings, LLC (automotive), Platinum Equity Capital Partners, IV L.P. (paper & packaging), and Stonepeak Falcon Holdings, Inc. (telecom) detracted from performance. |
How did the Fund’s borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance?
The Fund did not use leverage during the reporting period.
Did the Fund use derivatives?
The Fund used credit index derivatives to manage its overall risk profile, which had a positive impact on performance during the reporting period. In addition, the Fund traded futures, swaps, and foreign exchange derivatives, the combined impact of which was positive.
Current outlook
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects U.S. high yield bond spreads to remain rangebound near historic tights over the coming months on strong technicals and robust credit fundamentals. PGIM Fixed Income believes high yield spreads entered a late-cycle phase, an environment of tight spreads and low volatility—that could last throughout much of 2026. Thus, PGIM Fixed Income’s base case is for spreads to end the year only marginally wider. |
| • | While relatively tame “animal spirits” have curtailed primary supply, PGIM Fixed Income expects increased merger and acquisition, leveraged buyout, and artificial intelligence-related CapEx transactions this year, limiting any meaningful spread tightening from current levels. That said, PGIM Fixed Income believes that the sector should still generate positive total returns in the coming quarters, particularly as a potential rise in defaults amid re-leveraging and more aggressive behavior may not occur for some time. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income expects solid market technicals to persist beyond the first quarter of 2026, supported by the healthy pace of refinancing, low speculative borrowing, and modest inflows. Further, PGIM Fixed Income believes that the continued strength in credit fundamentals provides a buffer against macro uncertainty. Indeed, the accompanying chart shows today’s high yield market is higher in credit quality with a |

Strategy and Performance Overview* (continued)
| shorter average duration when compared to the period of historically tight spreads in June 2007. However, geopolitical risks remain, while potential overheating from monetary and fiscal stimulus could push spreads wider, and the use of private equity uncommitted cash could reignite speculative issuance. |
| • | PGIM Fixed Income is maintaining an overweight to short-duration bonds and is continuing to reduce the Fund’s underweight to high-quality issues. Looking at sectors, the Fund is overweight home construction, telecom, and midstream energy, and underweight technology, media & entertainment, and retailers & restaurants. However, recent adjustments include an increase to the overweight to paper & packaging, a further reduction in overweights to building materials, home construction, and telecom, and an increase in the underweight to technology. |
*This strategy and performance overview, which discusses what strategies or holdings (including derivatives, if applicable) affected the Fund’s performance, is compiled based on how the Fund performed relative to the Index and is viewed for performance attribution purposes at the aggregate Fund level, which in most instances will not directly correlate to the amounts disclosed in the Statement of Operations which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |

| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

| * | It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund. |

The Fund entered into credit default swaps (“CDS”) to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be short the credit as the value of the contract rises the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases.
| (1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |

| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement.

| * | It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund. |

| (1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection, it pays the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and make delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. |
| (3) | Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |
| (4) | Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the fair value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of the reporting date serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/ performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include up-front payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

| * | It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the securities’ fair values as of the beginning of period. Securities transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 are due to changes in the method utilized in valuing the investments. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are typically a result of a change from the use of methods used by independent pricing services (Level 2) to the use of a single broker quote or valuation technique which utilizes significant unobservable inputs due to an absence of current or reliable market quotations (Level 3). Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are a result of the availability of current and reliable market data provided by independent pricing services or other valuation techniques which utilize observable inputs. In accordance with the requirements of ASC 820, the amounts of transfers into and out of Level 3, if material, are disclosed in the Notes to the Schedule of Investments of the Fund. |

Adoption of ASU 2023-07 exclusively impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or performance. The intent of ASU 2023-07 is, through improved segment disclosures, to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance. The officers of the Funds, as listed in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, act as each Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has determined that each Fund has a single operating segment as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and the Funds’ long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of their respective prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Funds’ subadviser.

The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of each Fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Statement of Cash Flows and Financial Highlights.
Securities Valuation: The Funds hold securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued as of the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. As described in further detail below, the Funds’ investments are valued daily based on a number of factors, including the type of investment and whether market quotations are readily available. Global High Yield and High Yield Bond Board of Directors and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities Board of Trustees (collectively, the “Board Members”) have adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments”, the “Investment Manager” or the “Manager”) Pursuant to the Board Member’s delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Funds to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
For the fiscal reporting period-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or sell Fund shares.
Various inputs determine how the Funds’ investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the “fair value hierarchy” in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement.
Common or preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and derivative instruments, if applicable, that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange where the security principally trades. Securities traded via Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or Nasdaq official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In the event that no sale or official closing price on a valuation date exists, these securities are generally valued at the mean between
198
the last reported bid and ask prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an ask price. These securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Foreign equities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The models generate an evaluated adjustment factor for each security, which is applied to the local closing price to adjust it for post closing market movements up to the time each Fund is valued. Utilizing that evaluated adjustment factor, the vendor provides an evaluated price for each security. If the vendor does not provide an evaluated price, securities are valued in accordance with exchange-traded common and preferred stock valuation policies discussed above.
Investments in open-end funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Funds utilize the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Floating rate and other loans are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors utilize broker/dealer quotations and provide prices based on the average of such quotations. Floating rate and other loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Floating rate and other loans valued based on a single broker quote or at the original transaction price in excess of five business days are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Private debt/loans are generally valued at prices obtained by independent valuation providers. Such valuation providers typically utilize the income approach as the primary methodology, but may use other fair value approaches based on facts and circumstances. Valuations received from the independent valuation providers are reviewed by the Valuation
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 199
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Designee to ensure the valuations are in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures as well as all relevant valuation and accounting standards. Private debt/loans are generally classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
OTC and centrally cleared derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Funds utilize the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also include consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors’ valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on policies and procedures approved by the Board Members. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Altering one or more unobservable inputs may result in a significant change to a Level 3 security’s fair value measurement.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; and any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the Valuation Designee regarding the issuer or the markets or industry in which it operates. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:
(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rate as of the valuation date;
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not generally isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Funds do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period unrealized and realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions on the Statements of Operations. Notwithstanding the above, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.
Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Forward and Cross Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Certain Funds enter into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposure to certain currencies. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward and cross currency contracts. Gain (loss) is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward and cross currency contract transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 201
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency. The cash amounts pledged for forward currency contracts are considered restricted cash and are included in “Cash segregated for counterparty - OTC” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options: Certain Funds purchased and/or wrote options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Funds may also use options to gain additional market exposure. The Funds’ principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain (loss) to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain (loss). The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid at the closing of a purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain (loss). Gain (loss) on purchased options is included in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. Gain (loss) on written options is presented separately as net realized gain (loss) on options written transactions.
The Fund, as writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying securities or financial instruments may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security or financial instrument underlying the written option. The Fund, as purchaser of an OTC option, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded options contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded options and guarantees the options contracts against default.
When the Fund writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest
202
rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Fund will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.
Financial Futures Contracts: A financial futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed amount of securities at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit collateral with a futures commission merchant an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Funds each day, equal to the change in the mark-to-market value of the futures contract. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain (loss). When the contract expires or is closed, the gain (loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain (loss) on futures transactions.
Certain Funds invested in financial futures contracts in order to hedge their existing portfolio securities, or securities the Funds intend to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets. Since futures contracts are exchange-traded, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchanges’ clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures and guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Swap Agreements: Certain Funds entered into certain types of swap agreements detailed in the disclosures below. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. Swap agreements are negotiated in the OTC market and may be executed either directly with a counterparty (“OTC-traded”) or through a central clearing facility, such as a registered exchange. Swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements. Centrally cleared swaps pay or receive an amount known as “variation margin”, based on daily changes in the valuation of the swap contract. For OTC-traded, upfront premiums paid and received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments. The cash amounts pledged for swaps contracts are considered restricted cash and are included in “Due from broker-variation margin swaps” and “Deposit with broker for centrally cleared/exchange-traded derivatives” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”): CDS involve one party (the protection buyer) making a stream of payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for the right to receive a specified payment in the event of a default or as a result of a default (collectively, a “credit event”) for the referenced entity (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country) on its obligation; or in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising a credit index.
Certain Funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives, and as such, has entered into CDS contracts to provide a measure of protection against defaults or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default or the reference entity’s credit soundness. CDS contracts generally trade based on a spread which represents the cost a protection buyer has to pay the protection seller. The protection buyer is said to be “short the credit” because the higher the contract value rises, the more the credit deteriorates. The value of the CDS contract increases for the protection buyer if the spread increases. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk for purchased CDS is the inability of the counterparty to honor the contract up to the notional value due to a credit event.
As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, the Fund generally receives an agreed upon payment from the buyer of protection throughout the term of the swap, provided no credit event occurs. As the seller, the Fund effectively increases its investment risk because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund may be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
The maximum amount of the payment that the Fund, as a seller of protection, could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be equal to the notional amount of the underlying security or index contract as a result of a credit event. This potential amount will be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements which the Fund entered into for the same referenced entity or index. As a buyer of protection, the Fund generally receives an amount up to the notional value of the swap if a credit event occurs.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements where the Fund is the seller of protection as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedule of Investments, if applicable. These spreads serve as indicators of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of default risk for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads and increased market value in absolute terms, when compared to the notional amount of the swap,
204
represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
Total Return Swaps: In a total return swap, one party receives payments based on the market value of the security or the commodity involved, or total return of a specific referenced asset, such as an equity, index or bond, and in return pays a defined amount. Certain Funds are subject to risk exposures associated with the referenced asset in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain Funds entered into total return swaps to manage their exposure to a security or an index. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the change in the value of the security, in the Funds’ favor, from the point of entering into the contract.
Floating Rate and Other Loans: Certain Funds invested in floating rate and other loans. Floating rate and other loans include loans that are privately negotiated between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions, including, but not limited to, term loans, revolvers, and other instruments issued in the floating rate and other loans market. The Funds acquire interests in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) and/or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a floating rate and other loans assignment, the Funds generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and become a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a floating rate and other loans participation, the Funds generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Funds generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which they are entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Funds may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which they have purchased the participation. As a result, the Funds will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Funds.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Funds are subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of all or a portion of each Fund. A master netting arrangement between each Fund and the counterparty permits each Fund to offset amounts payable by each Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by each Fund to cover each Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law.

Each Fund is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Fund’s future derivative activity.
In addition to each instrument’s primary underlying risk exposure (e.g. interest rate, credit, equity or foreign exchange, etc.), swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk. Such risks involve the possibility that no liquid market for these agreements will exist, the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform or disagree on the contractual terms of the agreement, and changes in net interest rates will be unfavorable. In connection with these agreements, securities in the portfolio may be identified or received as collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide or receive assets of value and to serve as recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency of either party. Such OTC derivative agreements include conditions which, when materialized, give the counterparty the right to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty for early termination of the contract(s) may impact the amounts reported on financial statements.
Short sales and OTC contracts, including forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps, forward rate agreements and written options involve elements of both market and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable. Such risks may be mitigated by engaging in master netting arrangements.
206
Warrants: Certain Funds held warrants acquired either through a direct purchase or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock, or such other security that the issuer may specify, at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board Members approved fair valuation procedures.
Payment-In-Kind: Certain Funds invested in the open market or received pursuant to debt restructuring securities that pay-in-kind (“PIK”) the interest due on such debt instruments. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified, is added to the existing principal balance of the debt when issued bonds have the same terms as the bond or recorded as a separate bond when terms are different from the existing debt, and is recorded as interest income.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Funds become aware of such dividends. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual expense amounts.
Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders (for purposes of this report the shareholders of SDHY and the stockholders of ISD and GHY are referred to as “shareholders”). Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. However, due to the timing of when distributions are made by the Fund, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax of 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Fund’s annual taxable income for the calendar year and 98.2% of its net capital gains for a one-year period ending on October 31 exceed the distributions from such taxable income and net capital gains for the calendar year. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Dividends and Distributions: The Funds intend to make a level dividend distribution each month to the holders of common stock of ISD and GHY, and to the holders of common shares of beneficial interest (“common shares”) of SDHY (sometimes collectively referred to herein as “shares”). The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board Members from time to time, and will be based upon the past and projected performance and expenses of the Funds. The Funds intend to also make a distribution during or with respect to each calendar year (which may be combined with a regular monthly distribution), which will generally include any net investment income and net realized capital gain for the year not otherwise distributed.

PGIM Investments has received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granting the Funds an exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder to permit certain closed-end funds managed by PGIM Investments to include realized long-term capital gains as a part of their respective regular distributions to the holders of common stock/common shares more frequently than would otherwise be permitted by the 1940 Act (generally once per taxable year). The Board Members may, at the request of PGIM Investments, adopt a managed distribution policy.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and which may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 3. | Agreements |
Each Fund has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to these agreements, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services,, supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services and renders administrative services. With respect to ISD and GHY, PGIM Investments has entered into subadvisory agreements with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Funds through its business unit PGIM Fixed Income, and PGIM, Inc. has entered into a sub-subadvisory agreement with PGIM Limited. With respect to SDHY, PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Fund through its business unit PGIM Fixed Income, and PGIM Limited (collectively the “subadviser”).
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, using the average daily value of the Fund’s investable assets at the respective annual rates specified below. “Investable assets” refers to the net assets attributable to the outstanding common stock of the Fund plus the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock issued by the Fund, the principal amount of any borrowings and the principal on any debt securities issued by the Fund.

The Manager has contractually agreed that to the extent the Fund invests in an ETF advised by PGIM Investments (“PGIM ETF”), the Manager will waive any management fees it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the unitary management fee received by PGIM Investments from the PGIM ETF attributable to the Fund’s investment in such PGIM ETF. This waiver will be effective at any time the Fund is invested in the PGIM ETF and will remain in effect for so long as the Fund is invested in the PGIM ETF, unless earlier terminated by agreement of the Board of the Fund.
PGIM Investments, PGIM Limited and PGIM, Inc. are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

The Funds may invest their overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Government Money Market Fund (the “Core Government Fund”), a series of the Prudential Government Money Market Fund, Inc., registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services to the Core Government Fund. In addition to the realized and unrealized gains on investments in the Core Government Fund, earnings from such investments are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as “Affiliated dividend income”.
The Funds may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board Members approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act that, subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors/trustees, and/or common officers. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2026, no Rule 17a-7 transactions were entered into by the Funds.

The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements for the current reporting period. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 are subject to such review.

| 8. | Borrowings and Re-hypothecation |
Each Fund has entered into a committed credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Global High Yield has entered into a credit facility agreement with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage, Inc.; High Yield Bond and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities have entered into credit facility agreements with The Bank of Nova Scotia (collectively, the “Financial Institutions”) pursuant to which Global High Yield, High Yield Bond and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities may borrow up to a maximum commitment amount of $300 million, $210 million and $200 million, respectively. The Funds will pay interest in the amount of 0.85% plus the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) on the amount outstanding. Such interest expenses, as well as fees for the Credit Facility (including commitment fees for any portion of the Credit Facility not drawn upon at any time during the period), are disclosed in the Statement of Operations under Interest expense. The Funds’
212
obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by the assets of the Funds segregated for the purpose of securing the amount borrowed and are indicated in the Schedule of Investments. The purpose of the Credit Facility is to provide the Funds with portfolio leverage and to meet its general cash flow requirements. If the Funds fails to meet certain requirements or maintain other financial covenants required under the Credit Facility, the Funds may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding.
The Funds indicated below utilized the credit facility during the reporting period ended January 31, 2026. The average balance outstanding is for the number of days the Funds utilized the credit facility.

Re-hypothecation: The credit facility permits, subject to certain conditions, the Financial Institutions to re-hypothecate, a portion of the portfolio securities segregated by the Funds as collateral. The Funds continue to receive interest on re-hypothecated securities. The Funds also have the right under the agreement to recall the re-hypothecated securities from the Financial Institutions on demand. If the Financial Institutions fail to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Funds will be compensated by the Financial Institutions for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by the Financial Institutions, the Funds, upon notice to the Financial Institutions, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the value of the recalled security failed to be returned plus accrued interest. The Funds will receive a portion of the fees earned by the Financial Institutions in connection with the re-hypothecation of portfolio securities which reduces the interest expense on borrowings. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2026, there were no re-hypothecated securities.
| 9. | Risks of Investing in the Funds |
The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Funds. Each Fund’s principal risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below.
“Covenant-Lite” Risk: Some of the loans or debt obligations in which the Fund may invest or get exposure to may be “covenant-lite”, which means the loans or obligations contain fewer financial maintenance covenants than other loans or obligations (in some cases, none) and do not include terms which allow the lender to monitor the borrower’s performance and declare a default if certain criteria are breached. An investment by the Fund in a covenant-lite loan may potentially hinder the ability to reprice credit risk associated with the issuer and reduce the ability to restructure a problematic loan and mitigate potential loss. The Fund may also experience difficulty, expenses or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant-lite loans or obligations. As a result of these risks, the Fund’s exposure
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 213
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
to losses may be increased, which could result in an adverse impact on the Fund’s net income and NAV.
Credit Risk: This is the risk that the issuer, the guarantor, or the insurer of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a contract may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal and interest payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. Additionally, fixed income securities could lose value due to a loss of confidence in the ability of the issuer, guarantor, insurer, or counterparty to pay back debt. The lower the credit quality of a bond, the more sensitive it is to credit risk.
Cyber Security Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s manager, subadviser, distributor, and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. In addition, the rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence, could exacerbate these risks or result in cyber security incidents that implicate personal data.
Debt Obligations Risk: Debt obligations are fixed income investments that are subject to credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk. The Fund’s holdings, share price, yield and total return may also fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services. Certain types of fixed income obligations also may be subject to “call and redemption risk,” which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same rate of interest and therefore would earn less income.
Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund will depend on its subadviser’s ability to analyze and manage derivatives transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are “leveraged” or may create economic leverage for the Fund and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders.
214
Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Fund’s derivatives positions. In fact, many over-the-counter derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Over-the-counter derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund. The use of derivatives also exposes the Fund to operational issues, such as documentation and settlement issues, systems failures, inadequate control and human error.
Derivatives may also involve legal risks, such as insufficient documentation, the lack of capacity or authority of a counterparty to execute or settle a transaction, and the legality and enforceability of derivatives contracts. The U.S. Government and foreign governments have adopted (and may adopt further) regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements and risk exposure limitations. Regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility to the Fund, or otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.
Economic and Market Events Risk: Events in the U.S. and global financial markets, including actions taken by the U.S. Federal Reserve or foreign central banks to stimulate or stabilize economic growth or the functioning of the securities markets, or otherwise reduce inflation, may at times result in unusually high market volatility, which could negatively impact performance. Governmental efforts to curb inflation often have negative effects on the level of economic activity. Relatively reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets could adversely affect issuers worldwide.
Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility. Emerging market countries may have policies that restrict investment by non-U.S. investors, or that prevent non-U.S. investors from withdrawing their money at will.
The Fund may invest in some emerging markets that subject it to risks such as those associated with illiquidity, custody of assets, different settlement and clearance procedures and asserting legal title under a developing legal and regulatory regime to a greater degree than in developed markets or even in other emerging markets.
Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (including those denominated in U.S. dollars) may involve more risk than investing in securities of U.S. issuers. Foreign political, economic and legal systems, especially those in developing and emerging market countries, may be less stable and more volatile than in the United States. Foreign legal systems generally have fewer regulatory requirements than the U.S. legal system, particularly those of emerging markets. In general, less information is publicly
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 215
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
available with respect to non-U.S. companies than U.S. companies. Non-U.S. companies generally are not subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. Additionally, the changing value of foreign currencies and changes in exchange rates could also affect the value of the assets the Fund holds and the Fund’s performance. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal and interest or dividends to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater volatility and price declines.
In addition, the Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, imposition of currency exchange controls or restrictions on the repatriation of non-U.S. currency, confiscatory taxation and adverse diplomatic developments. Special U.S. tax considerations may apply.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of your investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration debt securities. For example, a fixed income security with a duration of three years is expected to decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. This is referred to as “duration risk.” When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” In addition, if the Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment. When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Fund’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.” The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the subadviser.
Junk Bonds Risk: High-yield, high-risk bonds have predominantly speculative characteristics, including particularly high credit risk. Junk bonds tend to have lower market liquidity than higher-rated securities. The liquidity of particular issuers or industries within a particular investment category may shrink or disappear suddenly and without warning. The non-investment grade bond market can experience sudden and sharp price swings and become illiquid due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large sustained sales by major investors, a high profile default or a change in the market’s psychology.
Leverage Risk: The Fund may seek to enhance the level of its current distributions to holders of common shares through the use of leverage. The Fund may use leverage through borrowings, including loans from certain financial institutions. The Fund may borrow in amounts up to 33 1/3% (as determined immediately after borrowing) of the Fund’s
216
investable assets. The use of leverage can create special risks. There can be no assurance that any leveraging strategy the Fund employs will be successful during any period in which it is employed.
Limited Term and Tender Offer Risk (applicable to SDHY only): In accordance with the Fund’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), the Fund intends to terminate as of the close of business on the ninth anniversary of the effective date of the Fund’s initial registration statement, which the Fund currently expects to occur on or about November 30, 2029 (the “Dissolution Date”); provided that the Board may, by a vote of a majority of the Board and seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the Board who either (i) have been a member of the Board for a period of at least thirty-six months (or since the commencement of the Fund’s operations, if less than thirty-six months) or (ii) were nominated to serve as a member of the Board by a majority of the Continuing Trustees (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) then members of the Board (the “75% Requirement”) (a “Board Action Vote”), without shareholder approval, extend the Dissolution Date once for up to six months, which date shall then become the Dissolution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may determine, by a Board Action Vote, to cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer, as of a date within twelve months preceding the Dissolution Date (as may be extended as described above), to all common shareholders to purchase 100% of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Fund at a price equal to the NAV per Common Share on the expiration date of the tender offer (an “Eligible Tender Offer”). The Board has established that the Fund must have at least $200 million of net assets immediately following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer to ensure the continued viability of the Fund (the “Dissolution Threshold”). In an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund will offer to purchase all Common Shares held by each common shareholder; provided that if the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer, and the Fund will terminate as scheduled. If an Eligible Tender Offer is conducted and the number of properly tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, all Common Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn will be purchased by the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Tender Offer. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval and cause the Fund to have a perpetual existence. Unless the limited term provision of the Declaration of Trust is amended by the Board and the shareholders in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, or unless the Fund completes an Eligible Tender Offer and converts to perpetual existence, the Fund will terminate on or about the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extension). The Fund is not a so-called “target date” or “life cycle” fund whose asset allocation becomes more conservative over time as its target date, often associated with retirement, approaches. In addition, the Fund is not a “target term” fund as its investment objective is not to return its original NAV on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer. The Fund’s investment objective and policies are not designed to seek to return to investors that purchase shares in this offering their initial investment on the Dissolution Date or in an Eligible Tender Offer, and such investors and investors that purchase shares after the completion of this offering may
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 217
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
receive more or less than their original investment upon dissolution or in an Eligible Tender Offer. Because the assets of the Fund will be liquidated in connection with the dissolution, the Fund will incur transaction costs in connection with dispositions of portfolio securities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to the Dissolution Date and may be required to sell portfolio securities when it otherwise would not, including at times when market conditions are not favorable, which may cause the Fund to lose money. In particular, the Fund’s portfolio may still have large exposures to illiquid securities as the Dissolution Date approaches, and losses due to portfolio liquidation may be significant. The Fund generally considers “illiquid securities” to be securities that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the value used by the Fund in determining its NAV. During the Wind-Down Period, the Fund may begin liquidating all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, and the Fund may deviate from its investment strategy and may not achieve its investment objective. As a result, during the Wind-Down Period, the Fund’s distributions may decrease, and such distributions may include a return of capital. It is expected that common shareholders will receive cash in any liquidating distribution from the Fund, regardless of their participation in the Fund’s automatic dividend reinvestment plan. However, if on the Dissolution Date the Fund owns securities for which no market exists or securities that are trading at depressed prices, such securities may be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund cannot predict the amount, if any, of securities that will be required to be placed in a liquidating trust. The Fund may receive proceeds from the disposition of portfolio investments that are less than the valuations of such investments by the Fund and, in particular, losses from the disposition of illiquid securities may be significant. The disposition of portfolio investments by the Fund could also cause market prices of such instruments, and hence the NAV and market price of the Common Shares, to decline. In addition, disposition of portfolio investments will cause the Fund to incur increased brokerage and related transaction expenses. Moreover, in conducting such portfolio transactions, the Fund may need to deviate from its investment policies and may not achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s portfolio composition may change as its portfolio holdings mature or are called or sold in anticipation of an Eligible Tender Offer or the Dissolution Date. During such period(s), it is possible that the Fund will hold a greater percentage of its total assets in shorter term and lower yielding securities and cash and cash equivalents than it would otherwise, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and adversely impact the Fund’s performance and distributions to common shareholders, which may in turn adversely impact the market value of the Common Shares. In addition, the Fund may be required to reduce its leverage, which could also adversely impact its performance. The additional cash or cash equivalents held by the Fund could be obtained through reducing the Fund’s distributions to common shareholders and/or holding cash in lieu of reinvesting, which could limit the ability of the Fund to participate in new investment opportunities. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities having a maturity date prior to or around the Dissolution Date, which may exacerbate the foregoing risks and considerations. A common shareholder may be subject
218
to the foregoing risks over an extended period of time, particularly if the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer and is also subsequently terminated by or around the Dissolution Date. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund anticipates that funds to pay the aggregate purchase price of shares accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer will be first derived from any cash on hand and then from the proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments held by the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be required to dispose of portfolio investments in connection with any reduction in the Fund’s outstanding leverage necessary in order to maintain the Fund’s desired leverage ratios following a tender offer. The risks related to the disposition of securities in connection with the Fund’s dissolution also would be present in connection with the disposition of securities in connection with an Eligible Tender Offer. It is likely that during the pendency of a tender offer, and possibly for a time thereafter, the Fund will hold a greater than normal percentage of its total assets in cash and cash equivalents, which may impede the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective and decrease returns to shareholders. The tax effect of any such dispositions of portfolio investments will depend on the difference between the price at which the investments are sold and the tax basis of the Fund in the investments. Any capital gains recognized on such dispositions, as reduced by any capital losses the Fund realizes in the year of such dispositions and by any available capital loss carryforwards, will be distributed to shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) during or with respect to such year, and such distributions will generally be taxable to common shareholders. Therefore, the Fund’s early disposition of portfolio investments could accelerate the timing of the Fund’s recognition of taxable income and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to common shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have. The purchase of Common Shares by the Fund pursuant to a tender offer will have the effect of increasing the proportionate interest in the Fund of non-tendering common shareholders. All common shareholders remaining after a tender offer may be subject to proportionately higher expenses due to the reduction in the Fund’s total assets resulting from payment for the tendered Common Shares. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may result in less investment flexibility, reduced diversification and greater volatility for the Fund, and may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s investment performance. Such reduction in the Fund’s total assets may also cause Common Shares to become thinly traded or otherwise negatively impact secondary trading of Common Shares. A reduction in net assets, and the corresponding increase in the Fund’s expense ratio, could result in lower returns and put the Fund at a disadvantage relative to its peers and potentially cause the Common Shares to trade at a wider discount to NAV than it otherwise would. Furthermore, the portfolio of the Fund following an Eligible Tender Offer could be significantly different and, therefore, common shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund could be subject to greater risk. For example, the Fund may be required to sell its more liquid, higher quality portfolio investments to purchase Common Shares that are tendered in an Eligible Tender Offer, which would leave a less liquid, lower quality portfolio for remaining shareholders. The prospects of an Eligible Tender Offer may attract arbitrageurs who would purchase the Common Shares prior to the tender offer for the sole purpose of tendering those shares which could have the effect of exacerbating the risks described herein for shareholders retaining an investment in the Fund following an Eligible
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 219
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Tender Offer. The Fund is not required to conduct an Eligible Tender Offer. If the Fund conducts an Eligible Tender Offer, there can be no assurance that the number of tendered Common Shares would not result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below the Dissolution Threshold, in which case the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no Common Shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer and the Fund will dissolve on the Dissolution Date (subject to possible extensions of no more than six months in total). Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer in which the number of tendered Common Shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets greater than or equal to the Dissolution Threshold, the Board may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval. Thereafter, the Fund will have a perpetual term. The Manager may have a conflict of interest in recommending to the Board that the Dissolution Date be eliminated because the Manager would continue to receive management fees on the remaining assets of the Fund while it remains in existence. The Fund is not required to conduct additional tender offers following an Eligible Tender Offer and conversion to perpetual existence. Therefore, remaining common shareholders may not have another opportunity to participate in a tender offer.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments for any reason, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Fund may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade order of a given size. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.
Management Risk: Actively managed funds are subject to management risk. The subadviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but the subadviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements may be incorrect. Additionally, the investments selected for the Fund may underperform the markets in general, the Fund’s benchmark and other funds with similar investment objectives.
220
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks: Market disruption can be caused by economic, financial or political events and factors, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks), instability in regions such as the Middle East, South America, Eastern Europe, and Asia, terrorism, natural disasters and public health epidemics (including the outbreak of COVID-19 globally).
Recent policy decisions of the U.S. government and governments of foreign countries may increase geopolitical risks that could adversely affect the investment performance of the Fund. These policies have the potential to impact international relations, trade agreements and the overall regulatory environment in ways that could create uncertainty and instability in domestic and global markets. Actions taken by the U.S. government and governments of foreign countries in respect of international trade relations could lead to trade wars, increased costs for imported goods, disruptions in supply chains, reduced foreign investment, and instability in regions where the Fund invests.
The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions cannot be predicted, but could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Fund. These and other similar events could adversely affect the U.S. and foreign financial markets and lead to increased market volatility, reduced liquidity in the securities markets, significant negative impacts on issuers and the markets for certain securities and commodities and/or government intervention. They may also cause short- or long-term economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively impacted. Further, due to closures of certain markets and restrictions on trading certain securities, the value of certain securities held by the Fund could be significantly impacted, which could lead to such securities being valued at zero.
Market Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.
Risks of Investments in Bank Loans: The Fund’s ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans (whether through participations, assignments or otherwise) will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the Fund’s scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan because of a default, bankruptcy or any other reason would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Even with loans secured by collateral, there is the risk that the value of the collateral may decline, may be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 221
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
collateral for an uncollateralized loan. Further, the Fund’s access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy laws.
Risk of Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value: Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that net asset value could decrease as a result of investment activities.
| 10. | Recent Accounting Pronouncement and Regulatory Developments |
During the reporting period, the Funds adopted Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments enhance income tax disclosures by requiring greater disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The Funds did not pay a significant amount of foreign or U.S. federal, state or local income taxes and therefore did not include any additional disclosures in these financial statements.
| 11. | Subsequent Event |
The Funds’ management evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the financial statements. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in, or would be required to be recognized in, the financial statements as of January 31, 2026 except as discussed below.
Dividends to shareholders: On February 27, 2026, Global High Yield and High Yield Bond declared monthly dividends of $0.105 per share and Short Duration High Yield Opportunities declared monthly dividends of $0.108 per share payable on March 31, 2026, April 30, 2026 and May 29, 2026, respectively, to shareholders of record on March 12, 2026, April 9, 2026 and May 14, 2026, respectively. The ex-dates are March 12, 2026, April 9, 2026 and May 14, 2026, respectively.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Unless a common shareholder of SDHY, or a holder of common stock of ISD or GHY (collectively referred to herein as “common shareholders”) elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A, (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on common shares of SDHY and common stock of ISD and GHY (collectively referred to herein as “Common Shares”) will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Funds’ Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional Common Shares. The common shareholders who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions (together, a “Dividend”) in cash paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the Common Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the Dividend record date. Otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared Dividend. Such notice will be effective with respect to a particular Dividend. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on behalf of the common shareholders and may reinvest that cash in additional Common Shares.
The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common shareholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common shareholder’s Common Shares are registered. Whenever the Funds declare a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares. The Common Shares will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Shares from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Shares on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price per Common Share plus per share fees (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the NAV per Common Share (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares on behalf of the participants. The number of shares of Newly Issued Common Shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per Common Share on the payment date, provided that, if the NAV per Common Share is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date,
PGIM Fixed Income Closed-End Funds 223
Other Information (continued)
the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Share on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per Common Share is greater than the closing market value per Common Share plus per share fees (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. “Per share fees” include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay.
In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Shares trades on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Shares acquired in Open-Market Purchases on behalf of participants. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per Common Share exceeds the NAV per Common Share, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator for Common Shares may exceed the NAV per Common Share, resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the Dividend had been paid in shares of Newly Issued Common Shares on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open- Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Shares at the NAV per Common Share at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date, provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per Common Share, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date for purposes of determining the number of shares issuable under the Plan.
The Plan Administrator maintains all shareholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by shareholders for tax records. Common Shares in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each shareholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.
In the case of the common shareholders such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold Common Shares for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of Common Shares certified from time to time by the record shareholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.
224
The Plan Administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the plan will be paid for by the Funds. If a participant elects by written, Internet or telephonic notice to the Plan Administrator to have the Plan Administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the Plan Administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the Plan Administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.12 per share fee. If a participant elects to sell his or her Common Shares, the Plan Administrator will process all sale instructions received no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received by the Plan Administrator, assuming the relevant markets are open and sufficient market liquidity exists (and except where deferral is required under applicable federal or state laws or regulations). Such sale will be made through the Plan Administrator’s broker on the relevant market and the sale price will not be determined until such time as the broker completes the sale. In every case the price to the participant shall be the weighted average sale price obtained by the Plan Administrator’s broker net of fees for each aggregate order placed by the participant and executed by the broker. To maximize cost savings, the Plan Administrator will seek to sell shares in round lot transactions. For this purpose the Plan Administrator may combine a participant’s shares with those of other selling participants.
There will be no brokerage charges with respect to Common Shares issued directly by the Funds. However, each participant will be charged a per share fee (currently $0.05 per share) on all Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. Participants that request a sale of Common Shares through the Plan Administrator are subject to the fees described in the preceding paragraph.
Each participant may terminate the participant’s account under the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator via the Plan Administrator’s website at www.computershare.com/ investor, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the participant’s Statement and sending it to the Plan Administrator or by calling the Plan Administrator. Such termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the Plan Administrator prior to any Dividend record date. Upon any withdrawal or termination, the Plan Administrator will cause to be delivered to each terminating participant a statement of holdings for the appropriate number of the Fund’s whole book-entry Common Shares and a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value per Common Share as of the close of business on the date the termination is effective less any applicable fees. In the event a participant’s notice of termination is on or after a record date (but before payment date) for an account whose Dividends are reinvested, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may either distribute such Dividends in cash or reinvest them in Common Shares on behalf of the terminating participant. In the event reinvestment is made, the Plan Administrator will process the termination as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days after the reinvestment is completed. The Plan may

Other Information (continued)
be terminated by the Funds upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any Dividend by the Fund.
The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Funds reserve the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.
All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43006, Providence, RI 02940-3006, by calling (toll-free) (800) 451-6788, or through the Plan Administrator’s website www.computershare.com/investor.
