Updating Summary Prospectus
May 1, 2026
You should read this Updating Summary Prospectus carefully, particularly the section titled "Important Information You Should Consider About the Annuity".
An updated statutory prospectus for Prudential FlexGuard Index-Linked Variable Annuity Contract is currently available online, which contains more information about the Annuity, including its features, benefits, investment options, and risks. You can find the statutory prospectus and other information about the contract online at www.prudential.com/regdocs/PLAZ-FlexGuard-B-STAT. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-888-PRU-2888 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
The statutory prospectus describes all the investment options, features, and benefits that we make available under the Annuity. The availability of investment options, features and benefits described in the statutory prospectus may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold ("financial intermediary variations"). We have identified all such financial intermediary variations that are known or reasonably available to us. See "Appendix F - Financial Intermediary Variations" of the statutory prospectus. Financial intermediary variations may be imposed by some broker-dealers without our knowledge. For example, your Financial Professional may not recommend a particular investment option or benefit to you because of a decision by the Financial Professional's broker-dealer not to offer that investment option or benefit to its customers. Taking into consideration the breadth of our distribution network, we are unable to obtain information about all financial intermediary variations without unreasonable effort or expense. You should discuss with your Financial Professional any limitations, restrictions, or other variations related to the investment options, benefits or other features available to you through your Financial Professional.
This Updating Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the Prudential FlexGuard statutory prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), both dated May 1, 2026, as amended or supplemented. The SAI may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the prospectus.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Updating Summary Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Account Value: The Interim Value for each Index Strategy plus the total value of any allocations in the Variable Options (including the Holding Account) and the Transfer Account on any Valuation Day other than the Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date. The Interim Value does not apply to an Index Strategy on the Index Strategy Start Date and the Index Strategy End Date. On an Index Strategy Start Date, the Index Strategy Base applicable to that Index Strategy would be used instead of the Interim Value. On an Index Strategy End Date, the Index Strategy Base plus the Index Credit applicable to that Index Strategy would be used instead of the Interim Value.
Application Sign Date: The date that you sign your application. For applications transmitted through electronic order entry, the Application Sign Date is the initial submission date prior to a wet signature, and the wet signature would not be used to determine the Application Sign Date. Please speak to your Financial Professional regarding exceptions that may apply.
Buffer: The amount of protected negative Index Return applied to the Account Value allocated to an Index Strategy at the end of an Index Strategy Term. Any negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer reduces the Account Value.
Cap Rate: The Cap Rate limits the amount of Index Credit that may be credited to the Index Strategy Base on any Index Strategy End Date when the Index Return is positive. A different Cap Rate may be declared for different Indices, Buffers, and different Index Strategy Terms. Cap Rates, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Cap Rate but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate. Renewal Cap Rates may differ from the Cap Rates used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1.00% for a one-year Index Strategy Term, 5.00% for a three-year Index Strategy Term and 10.00% for a six-year Index Strategy Term.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC"): This is a sales charge that may be deducted when you make a surrender or take a partial withdrawal from your Annuity. We refer to this as a "contingent" charge because it is imposed only if you surrender or take a withdrawal from your Annuity. The charge is a percentage of each applicable Purchase Payment that is being surrendered or withdrawn. The CDSC may also be referred to as a Surrender Charge in this prospectus.
Index (Indices): The underlying Index or exchange traded fund associated with an Index Strategy and used to determine the Index Return in determining the Index Credit. You do not directly participate in an Index.
Index Anniversary Date: The same day, each calendar year, as the day of the initial allocation to an Index Strategy (Index Effective Date). You may allocate available Account Value to a new Index Strategy(ies) or to the Variable Options or other options we make available on this date. You may allocate available Account Value to the same Index Strategy(ies) on this date once the Index Strategy(ies) has reached the Index Strategy End Date.
Index Credit: The amount you receive on an Index Strategy End Date based on the Index Return and the Index Strategy. The Index Credit can be negative, meaning you can lose principal and prior earnings.
Index Effective Date: The first day of the first Index Strategy allocation.
Index Return: The percentage change in the Index Value from the Index Strategy Start Date to the Index Strategy End Date, which is used to determine the Index Credit for an Index Strategy. An Index Return is calculated by taking the Index Value on the Index Strategy End Date, minus the Index Value on the Index Strategy Start Date, and then dividing the result by the Index Value on the Index Strategy Start Date.
Index Strategy(ies): Any Index linked Allocation Option we make available in the Annuity for crediting interest based on the underlying Index associated with the Index Strategy, Buffer, and Index Strategy Term. We may offer other Index Strategies from time to time, subject to our rules.
Index Strategy Base: The amount of Account Value allocated to an Index Strategy on an Index Strategy Start Date. The Index Strategy Base is used in the calculation of any Index Credit and in the calculation of the Interim Value. The Index Strategy Base is reduced for any reallocations or withdrawals that occur between an Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date in the same proportion that the total withdrawal or reallocation amount reduced the Interim Value.
Index Strategy End Date: The last day of an Index Strategy Term. This is the day any applicable Index Credit would be credited to the Index Strategy.
Index Strategy Start Date: The first day of an Index Strategy Term.
Index Strategy Term: The time period allocated to each Index Strategy. The term begins on the Index Strategy Start Date and ends on the Index Strategy End Date.
Index Value: The value of the Index that is published by the Index provider at the close of each day that the Index is calculated. If an Index Value is not published for a particular Valuation Day, the closing Index Value of the next published Valuation Day will be used.
Interim Value: The value of an Index Strategy on any Valuation Day during an Index Strategy Term other than the Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date. It is a calculated value (as described in the "Interim Value" section of the statutory prospectus) and is used when a withdrawal, death benefit payment, transfer, Annuitization, or surrender occurs between an Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date. During an Index Strategy Term, the Interim Value is included in the Account Value and Surrender Value. If a Performance Lock has occurred, certain parameters of the Interim Value calculation will apply as described in the Index Strategies Prospectus.
Owner: The Owner is either an eligible entity or natural person named as having ownership rights in relation to the Annuity.

Back to Table of Contents
Participation Rate: The percentage of any Index increase that will be used in calculating the Index Credit at the end of an Index Strategy Term for applicable Index Strategies. A different Participation Rate may be declared for different Index Strategies, Indices and Buffers. Participation Rates, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Participation Rate but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate. Renewal Participation Rates may differ from the Participation Rates used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% for the Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategy. The Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 60% for the Step Rate Plus Index Strategy.
Performance Lock: A feature for an Annuity with an Application Sign Date on or after January 18, 2022, and subject to state approval, that allows you to capture the Performance Lock Value. A Performance Lock Request may be submitted on any Valuation Day prior to the Index Strategy End Date. Only one Performance Lock may be active for any given Index Strategy during a respective Index Strategy Term. Performance Locks may not be applied retroactively and must be for the full amount of the Performance Lock Value. Once "locked", Index Credits will not apply on the Index Strategy End Date. Please see the "Performance Lock" section of the statutory prospectus for additional information.
Performance Lock Request: You may request a Performance Lock by contacting us and providing in Good Order instructions. Instructions received in Good Order after the close of any Valuation Day will be applied on the next Valuation Day.
Performance Lock Value: The value of an Index Strategy at the end of any Valuation Day during an Index Strategy Term other than the Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date. It is a calculated value that differs from the Interim Value Calculation and is used when a Performance Lock transaction occurs. Once "locked", the Performance Lock Value will not fluctuate for the remainder of the current Index Strategy Term, unless a withdrawal or a reallocation were to occur.
Portfolio: An underlying mutual fund, or series thereof, in which a Sub-account of the Separate Account invests. A Portfolio also may be referred to in the prospectus as an Underlying Portfolio.
Purchase Payment: A cash consideration in currency of the United States of America given to us in exchange for the rights, privileges, and benefits of the Annuity. We will deduct any fees, charges or Tax Charges prior to allocation to the Allocation Options you select or the Holding Account for Purchase Payments received between Index Anniversary Dates.
Separate Accounts: Refers to the Registered Separate Account and the Index Strategies Separate Account.
Spread: On the Index Strategy End Date, the Spread reduces the value of positive Index Returns used in the calculation of Index Credits that may be applied to the Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategy. The Spread percentage may vary by Index, Index Strategy Term, Cap Rate and Buffer. Multiple Spread options (known as Spread A and Spread B) with different Cap Rates may be offered with the same level of Buffer. Spreads, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Spread but will never be greater than the Guaranteed Maximum Spread. Renewal Spreads may differ from the Spreads used for new Annuity contracts or for other Annuity contracts issued at different times. The Guaranteed Maximum Spread equals 3.00% for a one-year Index Strategy Term.
Step Rate: The Step Rate is the declared rate that may be credited to amounts allocated to the applicable Index Strategies for any given Index Strategy Term if the Index Return is between zero and the declared Step Rate. A different Step Rate may be declared for different Indices and Buffers. The Guaranteed Minimum Step Rate equals 1.00% for the Step Rate Plus Index Strategy.
Variable Option: A division of the Registered Separate Account. A Variable Option also may be referred to in this prospectus and the Annuity as a Variable Sub-account, Variable Investment Sub-account, or Sub-account.

Index-Linked Options
The following is a list of Index Strategies currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Index Strategies listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains and losses), offer new Index Strategies, and terminate existing Index Strategies. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at www.prudential.com/flexguard-rates.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Strategy before the end of its Index Strategy Term, we will apply an Interim Value adjustment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Account Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Strategy Term.
See "Description of Insurance Company, Registered Separate Account, and Investment Options" in the prospectus for a description of the Index Strategies' features. See "Charges and Adjustments" in the prospectus for more information about Interim Value adjustments.

1. This Index is a "price return index," not a "total return index," and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on the securities composing the Index, which will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

2. This Index is an ETF. Index Values are based on the ETF's closing prices. The Index Values reflect a "price return," not a "total return," and therefore do not reflect the dividends paid on the securities in which the ETF invests. In addition, fees and costs are deducted from the ETF, which reduces the ETF's performance. These factors will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the ETF or the securities which the ETF invests.
