Issued By
PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SUMMARY PROSPECTUS FOR NEW INVESTORS
Dated: June 18, 2026
This summary prospectus summarizes certain key aspects of the Annuity. Before you (the "Owner") invest you should also review the statutory prospectus for the Prudential FlexGuard Income 2.0 Contract, which contains more information about the Annuity's features, benefits, investment options, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the Annuity online at www.prudential.com/PLAZ-FlexGuard-INC2.0-STAT. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-888-PRU-2888. 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 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 B - 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.
You may cancel your Contract within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties, although we may apply the Interim Value adjustment. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid or your total Contract value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.
The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks, including potential loss of principal. For the Index Strategies:
| • | Depending on the Index Strategy, the maximum amount of loss that you could experience from negative Index performance, after taking into account the current limits on Index loss provided under the Annuity, ranges from 0% (with 100% buffer) to 95% (with 5% buffer). |
| • | The Company does not guarantee that the Annuity will always offer Index Strategies that limit Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of the entire amount invested. |
| • | The Company limits the amount you can earn on an Index Strategy. |
| ○ | For Cap Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% for a one-year Index Strategy Term, 5% for a three-year Index Strategy Term and 10% for a six-year Index Strategy Term. |
| ○ | For Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% and the Guaranteed Maximum Spread equals 3% for a one-year Index Strategy Term. |
| ○ | For Step Rate Plus Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Step Rate equals 1% and the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 60%. |
| ○ | For Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% and the Guaranteed Maximum Tier Level equals 35%. |
| ○ | For Dual Directional Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% for a one-year Index Strategy Term and 10% for a six-year Index Strategy Term. |
| ○ | For Participation Rate with Cap Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 10% and the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% for a six-year Index Strategy Term. |
For the Fixed Account:
| • | In addition to Index Strategies, you can allocate to a Fixed Account. We will credit compound interest daily based on an annual interest rate we declare, subject to a Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate (GMIR) of 0.25%. |
The Annuity is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in surrender charges, taxes and tax penalties. In addition, premature withdrawals from the Fixed Account or an Index Strategy may result in a Market Value Adjustment and will result in Interim Value adjustments for the Index Strategy. Losses related to the Fixed Account are limited due to the Minimum Guaranteed Surrender Value (MGSV) feature. The MGSV feature applies only to funds allocated to the Fixed Account. Losses related to the investment in Index Strategies could be significant, up to 100% of your investment in extreme scenarios.
The Company's obligations under the Annuity are subject to its financial strength and claims-paying ability.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or the adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
We set forth here definitions of some of the key terms used throughout this prospectus. In addition to the definitions here, we also define certain terms in the section of the prospectus that uses such terms.
Account Value: The Interim Value for each Index Strategy on any Valuation Day other than the Index Strategy Start Date and Index Strategy End Date, plus the Fixed Account Value and any applicable Transfer Account Value. 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.
Annual Income Amount: During the Income Stage, the amounts allowed to be withdrawn under the Benefit without being considered Excess Income.
Annuitant/Joint Annuitant: The natural person upon whose life annuity payments made to the Owner are based.
Annuitization: The process by which you direct us to apply the Account Value to one of the available annuity options to begin making periodic payments to the Owner.
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.
Annuity Year: The twelve-month period beginning on the Issue Date and continuing through and including the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Issue Date. Subsequent Annuity Years begin on the anniversary of the Issue Date and continue through and include the day immediately preceding the next anniversary of the Issue Date.
Beneficiary(ies): The natural person(s) or entity(ies) designated as the recipient(s) of the Death Benefit or to whom any remaining period certain payments may be paid in accordance with the "Annuity Period" section of the statutory prospectus.
Code: The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Fixed Account: An interest-bearing account that credits a fixed rate compounded and credited daily at an annual effective interest rate declared by us. We will declare an interest rate at least annually for the Fixed Account that will be no less than the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate for any amounts in or transferred to the Fixed Account.
Fixed Account Value: The initial Fixed Account Value is the amount initially allocated to the Fixed Account. Thereafter, the Fixed Account Value equals (a) the initial Fixed Account Value plus (b) any interest credited by us plus (c) additional purchase payments or transfers into the Fixed Account and less (d) transfers from the Fixed Account (e) any withdrawals taken including any Surrender Charges and/or MVA, if applicable, and, if any, Premium Tax or other Tax Charges.
Free Withdrawals: Each Annuity Year, you may withdraw a limited amount of Account Value without application of a Surrender Charge and/or MVA. Free Withdrawal Amounts are not available upon Surrender and are not cumulative.
Good Order: Good Order is the standard that we apply when we determine whether an instruction is satisfactory. An instruction will be considered in Good Order if it is received at our Service Center: (a) in a manner that is satisfactory to us such that it is sufficiently complete and clear that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instruction and complies with all relevant laws and regulations; (b) on specific forms, or by other means we then permit (such as via telephone or electronic submission); and/or (c) with any signatures and dates as we may require. We will notify you if an instruction is not in Good Order.
Income Deferral Rate: During the Savings Stage, the Income Deferral Rate is an annual percentage added to the Income Percentage each year until the Income Effective Date. The Income Deferral Rate is based on the age of the Protected Life or the younger of the Joint Protected Lives on the Index Effective Date and does not change for the life of the Contract. The Income Deferral Rate will continue to apply even after withdrawals are taken prior to the Income Effective Date.
Income Effective Date: The date on which you elect to begin taking Income Withdrawals under the Benefit. This election may not be changed after the Income Effective Date.
Income Percentage: The rate applied under the Benefit to determine your initial Annual Income Amount. The Income Percentage is based on the age of the Protected Life, or the younger of the Joint Protected Lives on the Index Effective Date. Prior to the Income Effective Date, the Income Percentage includes any applicable Income Deferral Rate credits. If the Joint Protected Life has been added, changed, or removed before the Income Effective Date, the Annual Income Amount will be based on the applicable Income Percentage and Income Deferral Rate based on the younger of the Protected Life or Joint Protected Lives as of the Index Effective Date.
Income Withdrawals: Withdrawal(s) from the Annuity during the Income Stage. Income Withdrawals will be taken on a pro-rata basis from the Allocation Options to which your Account Value is then allocated.

Back to Table of Contents
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 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 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 Strategies Separate Account ("Separate Account"): A non-registered, non-unitized separate account that holds some of the assets supporting the Index Strategies. Assets held in the Index Strategies Separate Account are not insulated from our creditors.
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 Adjustments for Index Strategies" section of the statutory prospectus) and is used when a withdrawal, death benefit payment, annuitization, Flexible Allocation, Performance Lock, reallocation, 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. Interim Value does not apply to the Fixed Account.
Issue Date: The effective date of your Annuity. We will establish your Issue Date when we receive your complete Purchase Payment and all information that we require for the purchase of a Contract in Good Order.
Market Value Adjustment (MVA): An adjustment (positive or negative) that applies to any withdrawals taken from the Index Strategies and/or Fixed Account that exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount, or upon Surrender during a MVA Period.
MVA Period: A 6-year period beginning at Index Effective Date that renews every 6 years in which a MVA will apply to Partial Withdrawal amounts above the Free Withdrawal Amount and Surrenders. For a period of 30 days prior to and including the MVA Period end date, the MVA will be waived for any Partial Withdrawal or Surrender above the Free Withdrawal Amount. For an additional period of 60 days following the end of each MVA Period, Partial Withdrawal amounts above the Free Withdrawal Amount and Surrenders can be taken from the Fixed Account only without being subject to a MVA.
Performance Lock: Applicable during the Savings Stage, a feature that allows you to capture the current Interim Value of an Index Strategy prior to the Index Strategy End Date. 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 Interim Value. Once "locked", Index Credits will not apply on the Index Strategy End Date. Performance Lock is not available for the Fixed Account. Please see the "Performance Lock" section of the statutory prospectus for additional information.
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.
Savings Stage: The Savings Stage is the period of time before the Income Effective Date.
Service Center: The place to which all requests and payments regarding the Annuity are to be sent. We may change the address of the Service Center at any time and will notify you in advance of any such change of address. Please see "How to Contact Us" in the statutory prospectus for the Service Center address.
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 Index Strategy Base on any Index Strategy End Date for 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.
Surrender Charge: A charge assessed upon a partial withdrawal over and above your Free Withdrawal Amount or surrender during any applicable Surrender Charge Period.
Surrender Charge Period: The period of time during which we impose a Surrender Charge as described in the Annuity.
Surrender Value: The Account Value less any applicable Surrender Charge, any applicable Tax Charges, and any other applicable charges assessable as a deduction from the Account Value and adjusted for any applicable MVA.

Back to Table of Contents
Tier Level: The declared Index Return that is used to determine which Participation Rate tier applies in the calculation of Index Credit in the Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategy. The Guaranteed Maximum Tier Level equals 35%. Tier Levels, upon renewal, may be higher or lower than the initial Tier Level but will never be more than the Guaranteed Maximum Tier Level. Renewal Tier Levels may differ from the Tier Levels used for new contracts or for other contracts issued at different times.
Valuation Day: Every day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading or any other day the Securities and Exchange Commission requires mutual funds or unit investment trusts to be valued, and an Index Strategy Index Value is published, not including any day: (1) trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) an emergency, as determined by the SEC, exists making redemption or valuation of securities held in the Separate Account impractical; or (3) the SEC, by order, permits the suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT
Purpose of the Contract
The Prudential FlexGuard Income 2.0 registered index-linked annuity is a contract between you, the Owner, and Pruco Life Insurance Company, an insurance company. It is designed for retirement purposes, or other long-term investing, to help you save money for retirement, on a tax deferred basis, and provide income during your retirement. The Annuity provides for the potential accumulation of retirement savings through investment in certain Index Strategies and a Fixed Account during the Savings Stage and opportunity for lifetime income through a built-in living benefit rider during the Income Stage and Insured Income Stage, as well as Annuitization options. The Annuity may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon.
Phases of the Contract
The Annuity has three distinct stages, the Savings Stage, Income Stage and Insured Income Stage. During the Savings Stage the Annuity offers a Fixed Account and Index Strategies as opportunities for growth or loss, with levels of downside protection available when allocating to the Index Strategies. Under the Benefit, initial income payments are based on Account Value at the end of the Savings Stage which will, in part, reflect performance from investment in the Fixed Account and Index Strategies. During the Income Stage the Index Linked Variable Income Benefit (the "Benefit") provides lifetime income with potential for increases in income and some downside protection.
The Savings Stage is the period of time before the Income Effective Date. During the Savings Stage, you may allocate your Account Value among any of the Index Strategies and Fixed Account. See "Investment Options" as described in this section below. You must remain in the Savings Stage for at least as long as the Waiting Period. During the Savings Stage, the Income Percentage includes the initial Income Percentage and any Income Deferral Rate which is added to the Income Percentage each year until the Income Effective Date.
The Income Stage is the time period beginning on the Income Effective Date and ending on the Valuation Day the Insured Income Stage begins. You may establish your Income Effective Date on any date following the Waiting Period. Upon establishing an Income Effective Date, you must elect to take your Annual Income Amount based on the Protected Life or the Joint Protected Lives in effect when we receive your request to do so in Good Order. There are limited Index Strategies and the Fixed Account available during the Income Stage.
Once your Account Value is reduced to $0 as a result of Income Withdrawals in any Annuity Year that are less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount, we subsequently make Insured Income Stage payments until the death of the Protected Life or until both Joint Protected Lives have died, as applicable. In the Annuity Year in which your Account Value is reduced to $0, the only Insured Income Stage payment due, if any, equals the Annual Income Amount not yet withdrawn in that Annuity Year. In subsequent Annuity Years, the Insured Income Stage payment equals the Annual Income Amount in effect as of the date the Account Value was reduced to $0.
Investment Options
Index Strategies: For each Index Strategy, we will apply an Index Credit (i.e., positive or negative interest) at the end of the Index Strategy Term to amounts allocated to the Index Strategy based, in part, on the performance of the Index. You could lose a significant amount of money if the Index declines in value.
We limit the negative Index Return used in calculating the Index Credit applied to an Index Strategy at the end of its Index Strategy Term. Each available Index Strategy provides a level of protection against negative Index Returns through a Buffer; however, negative Index Returns in excess of the Buffer will result in loss, which could be significant. For example, if the Index Return is -25% and the Buffer is 10%, we will apply a -15% Index Credit (the amount of negative Index Return that exceeds the Buffer) at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience a 15% loss. Note: a 100% Buffer will provide complete protection from Index losses. For example, if the Index Change is -25% and the Buffer is 100%, we will apply a 0% Index Credit (i.e., no loss) at the end of the Index Strategy Term. However, for any Index Strategy, there may be additional losses due to surrender charges, negative Interim Value adjustments, negative Market Value Adjustments, taxes and/or tax penalties.
The Company does not guarantee that the Annuity will always offer Index Strategies that limit Index losses.
We may limit the positive Index Return used in calculating Index Credit applied to an Index Strategy at the end of its Index Strategy Term through the use of a Cap, Spread, Step Rate or Participation Rate, as applicable.
| • | Cap Rate Index Strategy: A Cap Rate Index Strategy allows for a positive Index Credit equal to the Index Return up to the Cap Rate. If the Index Return is positive but less than the Cap Rate, the Index Credit will be equal to the Index Return. If the Index Return is positive and equal to or greater than the Cap Rate, then the Index Credit will be equal to the Cap Rate. For example, assuming a Cap Rate of 5% and an Index Return of 10% (which is greater than the Cap Rate), we will apply a 5% Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience a 5% gain. For Cap Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% for a one-year Index Strategy Term, 5% for a three-year Index Strategy Term and 10% for a six-year Index Strategy Term. |
| • | Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategy: An Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategy allows for a positive Index Credit up to a Cap Rate. Under the Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategy, a Spread is deducted that reduces the value of any positive Index Return used in calculating the Index Credit. Deducting a Spread allows for higher Cap Rates than the Cap Rate Index Strategy. If the Index Return is positive and greater than or equal to the Cap Rate plus the Spread, the Index Credit is equal to the Cap Rate. If the Index Return is positive and greater than the Spread, but less than the Cap Rate plus the Spread, the Index Credit is equal to the Index Return minus the Spread. If |

| the Index Return is greater than or equal to zero, and less than or equal to the Spread, the Index Credit is zero. For example, assume the Spread is 2% and the Cap Rate is 15%. If the Index Return is 18% (which is greater than the Cap Rate plus the Spread), we will apply a 15% Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience a 15% gain. If the Index Return is instead 10% (which is less than the Cap Rate plus the Spread), we will deduct the Spread from the Index Return. We will apply an 8% Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience an 8% gain. If the Index Return is instead 1% (which is greater than zero but less than the Spread), the Index Credit would be 0%, meaning that you would not experience a gain or a loss. For Enhanced Cap Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% and the Guaranteed Maximum Spread equals 3% for a one-year Index Strategy Term. |
| • | Step Rate Plus Index Strategy: A Step Rate Plus Index Strategy allows for a positive Index Credit equal to the greater of the Index Return multiplied by a Participation Rate or the Step Rate. If the Index Return is between zero (including zero) and the Step Rate, the Index Credit will be equal to the Step Rate. If the Index Return is greater than the Step Rate, the Index Credit will be equal to the greater of (a) the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate or (b) the Step Rate. For example, assume the Step Rate is 4% and the Participation Rate is 60%. If the Index Return is 5%, we will apply the Step Rate to calculate the Index Credit because the Step Rate (4%) is greater than the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate (5% x 60% = 3%). The Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term will be 4%, meaning you will experience a 4% gain. If the Index Return is instead 10%, we will apply the Participation Rate rather than the Step Rate because the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate (10% x 60% = 6%) will be greater than the Step Rate (4%). The Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term will be 6%, meaning you will experience a 6% gain. For Step Rate Plus Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Step Rate equals 1% and the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 60%. |
| • | Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategy: A Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategy allows for a positive Index Credit equal to the Index Return multiplied by one or two Participation Rates. If the Index Return is between zero and the Tier Level, then the Index Credit will be equal to the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate for the 1st tier. If the Index Return is greater than or equal to the declared Tier Level, the Index Credit will be the sum of the Tier Level multiplied by the Participation Rate for the 1st tier and the remaining Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate for the 2nd tier. For example, assume the 1st Tier Participation Rate is 100%, the 2nd Tier Participation Rate is 120% and the Tier Level is 10%. If the Index Return is 5%, we will apply the 1st Tier Participation Rate to the entire Index Return. The 2nd Tier Participation Rate will not apply to any portion of the Index Return because the Index Return is lower than the Tier Level. The Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term will be 5% (i.e., 5% x 100%), meaning you will experience a 5% gain. If the Index Return is instead 15%, we will apply the 1st Tier Participation Rate to the first 10% of Index Return and the 2nd Tier Participation Rate to the remaining 5% of Index Return. The Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term will be 16% (i.e., (10% x 100%) + (5% x 120%)), meaning you will experience a 16% gain. For Tiered Participation Rate Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% and the Guaranteed Maximum Tier Level equals 35%. |
| • | Dual Directional Index Strategy: A Dual Directional Index Strategy allows for an Index Credit equal to the Index Return up to a Cap Rate when the Index Return is positive and an Index Credit equal to the absolute value of the Index Return, not limited by a Cap Rate, when the Index Return is negative and equal to or within the Buffer. The absolute value of the Index Return is the value without regard to the mathematical sign (positive or negative) of the Index Return. This means that if the Index Return is positive and equal to or greater than the Cap Rate, then the Index Credit is equal to the Cap Rate. If the Index Return is zero or positive, but less than the Cap Rate, the Index Credit is equal to the Index Return. For example, assuming a Cap Rate of 4% and an Index Return of 8% (which is greater than the Cap Rate), we will apply a 4% Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience a 4% gain. This also means that if the Index Return is negative and equal to or within the Buffer, we will apply an Index Credit. For example, assuming a 10% Buffer and an Index Return of negative 8% (which is within the 10% Buffer), we will apply a positive 8% (the absolute value of the Index Return) Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience an 8% gain. If the Index Return is instead a negative 12% (which exceeds the 10% Buffer), we will apply a negative 2% Index Credit at the end of the Index Strategy Term, meaning you will experience a 2% loss. For Dual Directional Index Strategies, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 1% for a one-year Index Strategy Term and 10% for a six-year Index Strategy Term. |
| • | Participation Rate with Cap Index Strategy: The Participation Rate with Cap Index Strategy applies a percentage to any positive Index Return, subject to a maximum level of the Cap Rate, that may be credited to the Index Strategy at the Index Strategy End Date for any given Index Strategy Term. If the Index Return is positive, the Index Credit is equal to the Index Return multiplied by the Participation Rate up to the Cap Rate. |
| For example, assuming a Cap Rate of 100%, a Participation Rate of 130% and an Index Return of 75%, the Index Credit would be 130% of 75% or 97.5% (which is less than the Cap Rate) so your account is credited 97.5%. If the Index Return is 125% under the same assumptions, the Index Credit would be calculated by first multiplying 130% of 125%, which is 162.5% (which is greater than the Cap Rate) so your account is credited 100%. |
| For Participation Rate with Cap Index Strategy, the Guaranteed Minimum Cap Rate equals 10% for a six-year Index Strategy and the Guaranteed Minimum Participation Rate equals 100% for all terms and buffer levels. |
Fixed Account: In addition to Index Strategies, you can allocate to a Fixed Account. We will credit interest daily based on an annual interest rate we declare, subject to a Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate (GMIR) of 0.25%. Fixed Account funds can be reallocated to Index Strategies on an Index Anniversary Date or as provided pursuant to the Flexible Allocation feature. Assets supporting the Fixed Account are held in a non-insulated, non-unitized Separate Account and are subject to the claims of creditors of Pruco Life and the benefits provided are subject to the claims paying ability of Pruco Life.

Contract Features
Index Linked Variable Income Benefit: The Benefit provides lifetime income payments initially based on a percentage of your Account Value and is built-in to your Annuity. Income Withdrawals can begin once the Waiting Period expires. Once Income Withdrawals begin your Index Strategies are limited to the following 1-year Strategies: Cap Rate, Dual Directional, Enhanced Cap Rate, and Step Rate plus, along with the Fixed Account. If you no longer want or need the Benefit, you can cancel it from your Annuity after the Benefit Termination Waiting Period. If you cancel the Benefit, we stop assessing the Benefit charge and you will not be allowed to re-elect the Benefit.
Performance Lock: During the Savings Stage you can capture the Interim Value of an Index Strategy at the end of any Valuation Day during the Index Strategy Term through our Performance Lock feature. If you exercise a Performance Lock, you will no longer participate in the Index Strategy performance for the remainder of the current Index Strategy Term and you may receive less than the full Index Credit, or less than the full protection of the Buffer, than you would have received if you waited for us to apply the Index Credit on the Index Strategy End Date. For more information see the "Performance Lock" section of the statutory prospectus.
Flexible Allocation: Flexible Allocation is a feature, available during the Savings Stage, that allows you to reallocate Index Strategy Interim Value or Fixed Account Value during the Index Year anytime more than 15 days prior to an Index Anniversary Date. Although not required, Flexible Allocation can be used in conjunction with Performance Lock to reallocate locked Interim Value back into Index Strategies without waiting until an Index Anniversary Date. For Index Strategies, you can request a Flexible Allocation for full or partial Interim Value to Index Strategy(ies) as long as dollar minimums are met for each Index Strategy allocation. For the Fixed Account, you can request a Flexible Allocation for full or partial Fixed Account Value to Index Strategy(ies) provided allocation rules are met. All Index Strategy(ies) Interim Value and the Fixed Account Value are eligible for Flexible Allocation more than 15 days prior to an Index Anniversary Date. However, Flexible Allocation cannot be used to reallocate to the Fixed Account. If you want to reallocate Account Value to the Fixed Account, you must wait until the next Index Anniversary Date to do so upon either reaching the Index Strategy End Date or having exercised a Performance Lock.
Death Benefits: You may name a Beneficiary to receive the proceeds of your Annuity upon your death. Your death benefit must be distributed within the time period required by the tax laws. The Death Benefit is the Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit. Please see "The Return of Purchase Payments Death Benefit" in the statutory prospectus for more information.
Annuitization: During Annuitization, you can elect to receive annuity payments (1) for life with a guaranteed minimum number of payments or (2) based on joint lives. We currently make annuity payments available on a fixed basis. After Annuitization, you will be unable to make withdrawals from the Contract. The Index Linked Variable Income Benefit and the Death Benefit terminate upon Annuitization. We reserve the right to make available other annuity options. See the "Annuity Period" section of the statutory prospectus.
Withdrawals: You can withdraw a limited amount of money from your Annuity on an annual basis without any surrender charges. Other product features allow you to access your Account Value at any time, although a surrender charge may apply. All withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals taken prior to age 59 ½. In addition, withdrawals taken from Index Strategies may be subject to negative Interim Value adjustments.
Contract Adjustments
You could lose a significant amount of money due to an Interim Value adjustment if amounts are removed from an Index Strategy prior to the end of an Index Strategy Term. An Interim Value adjustment will apply upon any withdrawal, death benefit payment, transfer, Annuitization, Benefit charge or surrender that occurs during an Index Strategy Term other than on the Index Strategy Start Date or Index Strategy End Date. An Interim Value adjustment may be positive, negative or equal to zero. A negative Interim Value adjustment will result in loss.

Risks |

|
What are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options? |
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract, including the Index Strategies. Each investment option has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
Index performance is on a "price return" basis, not a "total return" basis, and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. In addition, if the Index is an exchange-traded fund (ETF), the ETF deducts fees and costs that reduce Index performance. These factors will reduce the Index Return and will cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
For more information on the risks associated with investment options, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract," "Investment Options" and "Appendix A" sections of the statutory prospectus. |
|
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company? |
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under the Index Strategies), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request. Such requests can be made toll-free at 1-888-PRU-2888. |

Taxes |
|
|
What are the Contract's Tax Implications |
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account "(IRA)". Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to a 10% additional tax for distributions taken prior to age 59½. |
|
Conflicts of Interest |
|
|
How are Investment Professionals Compensated? |
Investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Contract to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment. This compensation is paid in the form of commissions, based on the amount of your investment in the Contract. |
|
Should I Exchange My Contract? |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you an annuity in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract, rather than continue to own your existing contract. |

BUYING THE CONTRACT
In order to purchase the Annuity, you must be no younger than age 45 and no older than age 80. Also, we require a minimum Purchase Payment of $25,000. We must approve any complete Purchase Payment where the total amount equals $1,000,000 or more. See your Financial Professional to complete an application.
The minimum age for Purchase applies to the youngest Owner as of the day we would issue the Annuity. The maximum age for Purchase applies to the oldest Owner as of the day we would issue the Annuity. If the Annuity is to be owned by an entity, the minimum age applies to the youngest Annuitant and the maximum age applies to the oldest Annuitant as of the day we would issue the Annuity.
PURCHASE PAYMENTS
A Purchase Payment is the money you give us to invest in the Annuity. This product is a single premium contract, which means any additional Purchase Payments will not be accepted once the contract has been issued. All Purchase Payment(s) making up the single premium are required prior to issuing the contract. Purchase Payments must be received within 180 days of the application signed date; the money will remain un-invested until all monies are received and the Contract is issued.
After you purchase your Annuity, you will have a limited period of time during which you may cancel (or "Free Look") the purchase of your Annuity. Your request for a Free Look must be received in Good Order within the applicable time period.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENT
Issuance of an Annuity represents our acceptance of the complete Purchase Payment. On the Issue Date, we allocate your complete Purchase Payment to the Index Strategy(ies) and/or the Fixed Account according to your instructions. Allocations must be made in whole percentages and must equal 100%.
If the Index Effective Date is not a Valuation Day, the initial index value for the Index Effective Date will be the following Valuation Day that the Index is calculated and published.
CREDITING PURCHASE PAYMENTS TO YOUR ACCOUNT
We will issue your Annuity and allocate your complete Purchase Payment within two Business Days after we receive your complete Purchase Payment and all information that we require for the purchase of an Annuity in Good Order. We reserve the right to reject a Purchase Payment that is comprised of multiple payments paid to us over a period of time.

MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT
WITHDRAWALS
During the Savings Stage, you have access to your money by taking partial withdrawals from your Annuity. Please note that withdrawals may be subject to tax and may be subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge and/or Market Value Adjustment. Withdrawals taken from an Index Strategy before the Index Strategy End Date will be based on the Interim Value. Please see "Interim Value" in the statutory prospectus for more information. In addition, any time a partial withdrawal occurs before the Index Strategy End Date, the Index Strategy Base will be reduced in the same proportion that the total withdrawal reduced the Interim Value. You may withdraw up to 10% of the Purchase Payment during the first Annuity Year and 10% of the Account Value on the previous Contract Anniversary Date after the first Annuity Year without being subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge or Market Value Adjustment.
Our Systematic Withdrawal Program is an administrative program designed for you to withdraw a specified amount from your Annuity on an automated basis at the frequency you select. This program is available to you at no additional charge. Systematic withdrawals can be made from your Account Value allocated to the Index Strategies or Fixed Account. Please note that systematic withdrawals may be subject to any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges and/or Market Value Adjustment. In the absence of instructions, systematic withdrawals will be taken on a proportional basis from all Allocation Options.
During the Income Stage, Income Withdrawals reduce the Annual Income Amount available during an Annuity Year by the amount of the Withdrawal. Income Withdrawals during an Annuity Year that, in total, do not exceed the Annual Income Amount are not subject to any Contingent Deferred Sales Charges or Market Value Adjustments. Any unused Annual Income Amount cannot be carried over for use in future years.
Once your Account Value is reduced to $0 as a result of Income Withdrawals in any Annuity Year that are less than or equal to the Annual Income Amount, we subsequently make Insured Income Stage payments until the death of the Protected Life or until both Joint Protected Lives have died, as applicable. In the Annuity Year in which your Account Value is reduced to $0, the only Insured Income Stage payment due, if any, equals the Annual Income Amount not yet withdrawn in that Annuity Year. In subsequent Annuity Years, the Insured Income Stage payment equals the Annual Income Amount in effect as of the date the Account Value was reduced to $0.
You may elect to annuitize your Annuity to receive income through fixed annuity payments over your lifetime. If you elect to receive annuity payments, you convert your Account Value into a stream of future payments. This means in most cases you no longer have an Account Value and therefore cannot make withdrawals. We offer different types of annuity options to meet your needs. See "Annuity Period" in the statutory prospectus for more information.
SURRENDER VALUE
During the Savings Stage and Income Stage, you can surrender your Annuity at any time and will receive the Surrender Value. Upon surrender of your Annuity, you will no longer have any rights under the surrendered Annuity. Your Surrender Value is equal to the Account Value less any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges, any pro-rated Benefit charge, and any applicable Tax Charges, adjusted for any applicable Market Value Adjustment.
We apply as a threshold, in certain circumstances, a minimum Surrender Value of $2,000. We will not allow you to take any withdrawals that would cause your Annuity's Account Value, after taking the withdrawal, to fall below the minimum Surrender Value. See "Annuity Period" in the statutory prospectus for information on the impact of the minimum Surrender Value at Annuitization.
Your Surrender Value taken from an Index Strategy before the Index Strategy End Date will be based on the Interim Value. Please see the "Charges and Adjustments" section of the statutory prospectus for more information.

During the years that a CDSC may apply, you may withdraw 10% of the Purchase Payment during the first Annuity Year and 10% of the Account Value as of the previous Contract Anniversary Date after the first Annuity Year (Free Withdrawal Amount). CDSCs are waived on Income Withdrawals equal to or less than the Annual Income Amount under the Benefit, as well as RMD withdrawals, even if the withdrawal exceeds the Free Withdrawal Amount available. However, even if CDSCs do not apply, all withdrawals may be subject to negative Interim Value adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties. |

In addition to the fees described above, we limit the amount you can earn on the Index Strategies. This means your Index Credit may be lower than the Index Return. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include Transaction Expenses, Annual Annuity Expenses, and Annual Portfolio Expenses.
The Example assumes all Account Value is allocated to the Variable Option. The Example does not reflect Interim Value adjustments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Index Strategies.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Variable Options for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of Annual Portfolio Expenses and optional benefits available for an additional charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT
Certain Investment Options may not be available through certain financial intermediaries. See Appendix B, 'Financial Intermediary Variations' and the Cover Page of the statutory prospectus for additional information.
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-income2-rates.
Note: If value is withdrawn 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 the Index Strategy value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Strategy Term to make the withdrawal. A Market Value Adjustment may also apply.
See "Description of Insurance Company, Separate Account, and Investment Options" in the statutory prospectus for a description of the Index Strategies' features. See "Charges and Adjustments" in the statutory prospectus for more information about Interim Value adjustments.
