The rating of the notes should be evaluated independently from similar ratings of other securities. A credit rating of a security is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to review, revision, suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. In March 2015, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) indicated that Prudential Financial, Inc.’s ratings and the ratings of other companies in the life insurance industry are “under criteria observation,” indicating that the ratings could be affected by S&P’s newly-published criteria for the treatment of U.S. life insurance reserves and reserve financing transactions.
