Dear Shareholder:
After leading Prudential Investments for the past eight years, I have decided to retire at the end of 2011 from my positions as President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund (the Fund). Effective January 1, 2012, I will become Chairman of Prudential Investments and act as an advisor to the business during 2012 to help facilitate a smooth transition to my successor, Stuart Parker.
Stuart, who will become President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Fund on January 1, 2012, previously served as the Executive Vice President of Retail Mutual Fund Distribution at Prudential Investments. With more than 20 years of investment industry experience, Stuart brings a deep understanding of the needs and challenges facing today’s investors.
We hope you find the annual report for the Fund informative. We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. We encourage you to call your financial professional before making any investment decision.
Prudential Investments provides a wide range of mutual funds to choose from that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers.
Finally, I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunity to help you address your investment needs, and I thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of mutual funds.
Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund

Growth of a $10,000 Investment

| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 3 | |
Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund (Class L shares) with a similar investment in the S&P 500 Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class L shares (October 31, 2001) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2011) as measured on a quarterly basis. The data are measured from the closest month-end to inception date, and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class L shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class L shares only. As indicated in the tables above, performance for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class Q, Class R, Class X, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs).
Total returns and the ending account values in the graph include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.
Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.
Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.
The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A to Class Z shares of the Fund. Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Under certain circumstances, Class A and Class L shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively. Class Q, Class R, and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class A shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class L shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.50%. Class R shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75%. Class Q and Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. Prior to April 12, 2004, Class L shares were known as Class A shares. On April 12, 2004, Class A shares were redesignated as Class L shares and a new Class A was opened. Prior to April 12, 2004, Class M shares were known as Class B shares. On April 12, 2004, Class B shares were redesignated as Class M shares and a new Class B was opened. The returns in the tables and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% and 0.25% for Class A and Class R shares, respectively, the returns shown in the tables would have been lower.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund Class L shares returned 3.93% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2011. The Class L shares underperformed the 7.08% gain of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index, the 7.13% gain of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Average, and the 8.07% gain of the S&P 500 Index.
How is the Fund managed?
Jennison Associates manages the Fund with an investment objective of income and capital appreciation. The Fund seeks companies with the ability to sustain and grow their dividends. It employs a value strategy to identify firms Jennison believes are fundamentally sound but valued at a discount to their true worth, as defined by the value of their earnings, free cash flow, the value of their assets, their private market value, or a combination of these factors.
How did the U.S. stock market perform?
The U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 8.07% for the period. However, the market was exceptionally volatile, buffeted by political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, heightened anxiety over government debt in the euro zone and United States, and prospects for a global economic slowdown.
| • | | The market continued an uptrend through April 2011, then declined for five consecutive months, with the largest losses in August and September. Investors grew increasingly worried about a prolonged European government-debt crisis and slowing global economic growth. Stock prices rebounded sharply in October, however, with signs that the economies of the United States and China could prove more resilient than originally thought, despite continued uncertainty in Europe. |
| • | | Solid gains in corporate earnings and continued corporate and personal spending provided tailwinds that allowed the U.S. economy to continue expanding, although at a generally lackluster rate. Business production and housing measures were mixed, and overall job growth remained anemic. |
| • | | Stock prices were also pressured during the summer by acrimony and political gamesmanship in the Congressional debate over raising the U.S. debt ceiling. A last-minute accord averted an immediate crisis, but the lack of a longer-term solution highlighted the scope of Washington’s fiscal problems. The subsequent downgrade by Standard & Poor’s of the U.S. long-term sovereign credit rating to AA+ from AAA fueled additional anxiety. |
| • | | Estimates of the impact of falling confidence across the globe led to reductions in forecasts of gross domestic product (GDP) growth and corporate earnings. |
| | |

| Commodity prices moved broadly lower, as oil and copper, two widely regarded barometers of economic health, finished the summer with steep declines (although they posted noteworthy comebacks in October). |
Which holdings made the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s return?
Holdings in the consumer staples, information technology, and utilities sectors made the largest contributions to the Fund’s return.
| • | | B&G Foods drove the consumer staples contribution. It manufactures and distributes shelf-stable food products in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. During the year, its sales grew and gross profit margins increased as it shifted its product mix to new higher-margin products. Jennison continues to like this holding for its strong portfolio of products and attractive dividend yield. Its prospects remain good as it follows consumer spending trends away from traditional channels such as grocery stores to non-traditional channels such as Wal-Mart, pharmacies, and dollar stores. |
| • | | Rackspace Hosting, a technology firm, also was a leading contributor. It provides a range of web-hosting and managed-network services to more than 100,000 enterprise customers around the world. Primarily offering traditional hosting services with dedicated servers, Rackspace is expanding into cloud hosting, which lets customers use pooled server resources on an on-demand basis. Rackspace may continue to benefit from the trend among corporations of all sizes toward outsourcing their data-warehousing and software application needs in order to get better returns on investment. |
| • | | ONEOK, a diversified energy company engaged in the gathering, processing, storage, and transportation of natural gas in the U.S., boosted performance in the utilities sector. Jennison likes its solid earnings growth and attractive dividend yield, supported by strong free cash flow and an expanding midstream business (in between downstream production and upstream delivery) in liquid natural gas. In addition, ONEOK is the general partner of ONEOK Partners, a master limited partnership, where most of its midstream natural gas business is housed. Jennison expects this midstream exposure to yield significant growth opportunities from shale gas and oil drilling in the United States. |
Which holdings subtracted most from the Fund’s return?
A Paris-based media conglomerate and a French auto equipment supplier, which both suffered from the heightened anxiety over European sovereign debt, were significant detractors.
| • | | Lagardere was in the midst of a major restructuring when it was added to the portfolio. It planned to sell its non-core assets and refocus on sports marketing |
| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 7 | |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| and core media retail distribution. With its shares trading at a 50% discount to the sum of its parts, Jennison saw it as a value opportunity potentially able to return capital to shareholders. Lagardere sold its magazine business to Hearst in July, but the worsening European sovereign debt crisis hurt its plans to divest other key assets. The Fund eliminated the position in September. |
| • | | Faurecia supplies most of the world’s major carmakers with parts, ranging from seats and doors to exhaust systems. Earlier in the year, there was some uncertainty about how the Japanese earthquake might affect production. Management, however, maintained its earnings estimates for the year. As auto sales and manufacturing rates rebounded, Faurecia shares performed well. However, as the European financial crisis in August and September intensified, the automotive industry appeared vulnerable to a downturn. In October, Jennison exited the position in favor of other investment candidates. |
| • | | Frontier Communications was a notable performer for most of the first half of the period. It posted solid first-quarter financial results, and improved revenue and expense trends were possible indications of further cost savings after it acquired select Verizon access lines in July 2010. Around mid-2011, concerns over increasing competition and uncertainties over costs linked to its acquisitions raised questions about the company’s free cash flow projections. Jennison continues to believe the acquisition will help drive longer-term growth and remains confident the company’s free cash flow will support its above-average dividend yield. |
Were there significant changes to the Fund?
Jennison did not make any strategic changes to the portfolio during the period. However, the Fund added or eliminated positions because of company fundamentals and risk-reward characteristics of certain stocks.
| • | | Significant new positions were established including Boeing, Williams Companies, International Power, and Sara Lee. |
| • | | Positions in other securities, including AT&T, CenterPoint Energy, International Business Machines (IBM), and NiSource were eliminated. |
During the reporting period, the Fund’s use of derivatives was limited, with no meaningful impact on performance.

Comments on the Fund’s Five Largest Holdings
2.4% | Citigroup, Inc., CVT, 7.50%, Diversified Financial Services |
Jennison believes Citigroup has made great strides since the financial crisis by reducing its riskier assets and selling non-core, poorly performing business units. Like financial firms generally, Citigroup came under pressure during the summer owing to concerns about slower economic growth, investors’ reduced appetite for risk, and the ever-changing regulatory environment of the financial services industry. (All were reflected in the company’s poor third-quarter 2011 results.) Nevertheless, Jennison continues to like Citigroup’s fundamentals. Its balance sheet is dramatically improved, and with its ample cash, Jennison believes the company is well positioned for a resumption of more normal returns. These preferred shares are convertible into common stock on December 15, 2012. And in the interim, the Fund benefits from the security’s coupon (7.90% on an annualized basis, based on the closing price on October 31, 2011).
2.3% | National Grid PLC, ADR (United Kingdom), Multi-Utilities |
National Grid owns and operates the electricity transmission network in England and Wales as well as Britain’s high pressure natural gas transmission system. In the United States, National Grid’s transmission networks are concentrated in the Northeast, where the company distributes electricity and natural gas to customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and New York. Jennison continues to like National Grid for its attractive combination of earnings growth, driven by electric grid investment in the United Kingdom and earnings recovery among its U.S. utilities, as well as for its above-average dividend yield.
2.3% | Oracle Corp., Software |
Oracle provides a range of tools for managing business data, supporting business operations, and facilitating collaboration and software application development. Jennison believes the company is positioned for continued earnings growth and market share gains through product upgrades and cross-selling to its well-diversified customer base. Oracle can also benefit from new product cycles and offerings with superior technological integration and open standards.
2.2% | Philip Morris International Inc., Tobacco |
Philip Morris manufactures and markets many leading brands of cigarettes and tobacco products in more than 160 countries. Its products and market share produce considerable pricing power and some degree of insulation from economic fluctuations. Jennison expects its rising free cash flow to support continued dividend growth and an above-average dividend yield.
2.2% | Frontier Communications Corp., Diversified Telecommunication Services |

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2011, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2011. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of Prudential Investments funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before

expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10 (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company was organized on March 5, 1997, as a Maryland Corporation. The Company operates as a series company. At October 31, 2011, the Company consisted of two diversified investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”). The investment objective of the Fund is long term capital growth and income by investing primarily in common stocks that are believed to be selling at reasonable valuation in relation to their fundamental business prospects.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Company and the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price as provided by NASDAQ. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to
| | |
26 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation 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 issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser 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 mutual funds to calculate their net asset value.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange traded mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.
Foreign Currency Translation: Fund securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based on the current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Fund securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to long-term foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices. Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Options: The Fund may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates with respect to securities or financial instruments which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. The Fund’s 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
| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 27 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
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 or 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 basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on at a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on written options 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. Over-the-counter options involve the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Funds recognize income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The
| | |
28 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
Fund amortizes premiums and discounts on portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-divided date. Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least quarterly. These dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any are distributed at least annually. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Funds’ policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Estimates: The preparation of the 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
The Fund has entered into investment management agreements with PI which provides that the Manager will furnish the Fund with investment advice and investment management and administrative services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC.
Advisory Fees and Expense Limitations: The Manager receives a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, based on an annual rate of the average net assets. The Manager
| | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
pays the subadvisor a fee as compensation for advisory services provided to the Fund. The Manager has voluntarily agreed through February 29, 2012 to waive expenses in accordance with limitation expense policies as noted in the table below. The Manager will reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and extraordinary expenses, but inclusive of the advisory fee, which in the aggregate exceed specified percentages of the Fund’s average net assets while retaining their ability to be reimbursed for such fee waivers prior to the end of the fiscal year. The advisory fee and expense limitation are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Advisory Expense | | Effective Advisory Fees | | Fees Limitation |
0.85% to $500 million; | | 0.80% | | 1.15% |
0.80% next $500 million; | | | | |
0.75% in excess of $1 billion | | | | |
Such contractual fee waivers or reductions have been calculated prior to any fee reimbursements with respect to the expense limitations, and may be rescinded at any time and without notice to investors. All reimbursements by the Manager are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers or directors of the Manager. The Fund pays no compensation directly to its officers or interested directors.
The Fund has distribution agreements with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) and Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”). PIMS and PAD are both affiliates of PI and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential. PIMS serves as the distributor of the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Q, Class R and Class Z shares. PIMS, together with PAD, serves as co-distributor of the Fund’s Class L, Class M, and Class X shares.
The Company has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan (each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”) for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class R, and Class X shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, as amended. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for the Fund’s Class Q or Class Z shares.
| | |
30 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
Under the Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD a distribution and service fee at the annual rate of 0.30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 1.00%, 0.75% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M, R and X shares, respectively. Through February 28, 2013, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to 0.25% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares and Class R shares, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, PIMS has advised the Fund, front-end sales charges (“FESC”) and gross contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Class A FESC | | Class A CDSC | | Class B CDSC | | Class C CDSC | | Class M CDSC | | Class X CDSC |
$6,643,102 | | $134,616 | | $70,414 | | $121,033 | | $633 | | $396 |
4. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of Prudential Investments LLC and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses are shown in the Statements of Operations.

6. Distributions and Tax Information
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In order to present undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions and paid-in capital in excess of par on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain adjustments have been made to undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions. For the year ended October 31, 2011, the adjustments were to decrease undistributed net investment income and decrease accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions by $2,016,962 due to the different treatment for book and tax purposes of certain transactions involving foreign securities and currencies and investment in partnerships. Net investment income, net realized gain (loss) on investment and foreign currency transactions and net assets were not affected by this change.
For the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $51,909,509 and $10,848,256 of ordinary income, respectively.
| | |
36 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
As of October 31, 2011 the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $2,921,752 of ordinary income. This differs from the amount shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to cumulative timing differences between financial and tax reporting.
For the federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2011 of approximately $63,389,000 of which $16,679,000 expires in 2016, $26,282,000 expires in 2017 and $20,428,000 expires in 2019. Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. However, any post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2011 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustment | | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$2,210,294,208 | | $115,476,261 | | $(113,981,306) | | $1,494,955 | | $43,449 | | $1,538,404 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, investments in partnerships and Real Estate Investment Trusts.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

8. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Companies”), is a party to a syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of $750 million for the period December 17, 2010 through December 16, 2011. The Companies pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 17, 2010, the Companies had another Syndicated Credit Agreement (the “Expired SCA”) of a $500 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under these is contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. The SCA has been renewed on substantially similar terms with an increase in the amount of commitment to $900 million.
The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the year ended October 31, 2011.
Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective control for
| | |
38 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of ASU No. 2011-03 is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. Under previous guidance, whether or not to account for a transaction as a sale was based on, in part, if the entity maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2011-03 removes the transferor’s ability criterion from the effective control assessment. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-03 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund, a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10 (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2011, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements
The Fund’s Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund (the “Fund”)1 consists of 10 individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Investment Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.
Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements
As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Jennison Associates LLC (“Jennison”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 6-8, 2011 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2012, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PI and Jennison. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2010, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).
In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI and the subadviser, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 6-8, 2011.
The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and Jennison, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.
The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and Jennison. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by Jennison, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and Jennison, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Jennison portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and Jennison’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information pertaining to PI and Jennison. The Board also noted that it received favorable
Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com
compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to each of PI and Jennison. The Board noted that Jennison is affiliated with PI.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by Jennison, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and Jennison under the management and subadvisory agreements.
Performance of the Fund
The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance. The Board considered that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (the Lipper Equity Income Funds Performance Universe) was in the first quartile over the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for all periods. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements.
Fees and Expenses
The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee (which reflects any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) ranked in the Expense Group’s fourth quartile and that the Fund’s total expenses ranked in the Expense Group’s third quartile. The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to allow the existing expense cap of 1.150% (exclusive of 12b-1 fees and certain other fees) to expire at the end of its contractual period, on February 29, 2012, noting PI’s explanation that due to a significant increase in Fund assets since the end of its most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s total expenses were lower than the expense cap, and would rank in the second quartile of the Expense Group. The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI
The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI,
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets, the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.
Other Benefits to PI and Jennison
The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and Jennison and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included fees received by affiliates of PI for serving as the Fund’s securities lending agent, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), and benefits to the reputation as well as other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by Jennison included its ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and Jennison were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder:
After leading Prudential Investments for the past eight years, I have decided to retire at the end of 2011 from my positions as President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund (the Fund). Effective January 1, 2012, I will become Chairman of Prudential Investments and act as an advisor to the business during 2012 to help facilitate a smooth transition to my successor, Stuart Parker.
Stuart, who will become President of Prudential Investments and President and Director of the Fund on January 1, 2012, previously served as the Executive Vice President of Retail Mutual Fund Distribution at Prudential Investments. With more than 20 years of investment industry experience, Stuart brings a deep understanding of the needs and challenges facing today’s investors.
We hope you find the annual report for the Fund informative. We recognize that ongoing market volatility may make it a difficult time to be an investor. We continue to believe a prudent response to uncertainty is to maintain a diversified portfolio, including stock and bond mutual funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial professional can help you create a diversified investment plan that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. Keep in mind that diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. We encourage you to call your financial professional before making any investment decision.
Prudential Investments provides a wide range of mutual funds to choose from that can help you make progress toward your financial goals. Our funds offer the experience, resources, and professional discipline of Prudential Financial’s affiliated asset managers.
Finally, I’ve been privileged to have had the opportunity to help you address your investment needs, and I thank you for choosing the Prudential Investments family of mutual funds.
Sincerely,

Judy A. Rice, President

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
Growth of a $10,000 Investment

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund (Class L shares) with a similar investment in the S&P MidCap 400 Index and Russell Midcap Value Index by portraying the initial account values at the beginning of the 10-year period for Class L shares (October 31, 2001) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2011) as measured on a quarterly basis. The Russell Midcap Value Index data is measured from the closest month-end to inception date and not from the Fund’s actual inception date. For purposes of the graph, and unless otherwise indicated, it has been assumed that (a) the maximum applicable front-end sales charge was deducted from the initial $10,000 investment in Class L shares; (b) all recurring fees (including management fees) were deducted; and (c) all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The line graph provides information for Class L shares only. As indicated in the tables above, performance for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class M, Class Q, Class X, and Class Z shares will vary due to the differing charges and expenses applicable to each share class (as indicated in the following paragraphs).
Total returns and the ending account values in the graph include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.
Source: Prudential Investments LLC and Lipper Inc. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of such fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, total returns would be lower.
Inception returns are provided for any share class with less than 10 calendar years of returns.
The average annual total returns take into account applicable sales charges. Class A and Class L shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and 5.75%, respectively. Under certain limited

circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A to Class Z shares of the Fund. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class Z to Class A or Class Q shares of the Fund. Class L, Class M, and Class X shares are closed to most new purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends and purchases by certain college savings plans). Under certain circumstances, Class A and Class L shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, 6%, and 6%, respectively. Class A shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.30% annually. Class B, Class C, Class M, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class L shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 0.50%. Class Q shares and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or a 12b-1 fee. Prior to April 12, 2004, Class L shares were known as Class A shares. On April 12, 2004, Class A shares were redesignated as Class L shares and a new Class A was opened. Prior to April 12, 2004, Class M shares were known as Class B shares. On April 12, 2004, Class B shares were redesignated as Class M shares and a new Class B was opened. The returns in the tables and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or following the redemption of Fund shares. Without a distribution and service (12b-1) fee waiver of 0.05% for Class A shares, the returns shown in the tables would have been lower.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund Class L shares returned 5.77% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2011, slightly underperforming the 5.83% gain of the benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index (the Index). However, the Class L shares outperformed the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Average, which rose 4.19%.
How is the Fund managed?
Quantitative Management Associates LLC (QMA) manages the Fund, which invests in a diversified portfolio of mid-cap stocks that QMA believes are attractively priced when evaluated using quantitative measures such as price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. Although the strategy emphasizes attractive valuations, QMA also considers other quantifiable characteristics. Historically, value stocks have outperformed broad stock market averages. Constraints are placed on the portfolio with regard to sector, industry, and individual security weighting to reduce risk relative to the Index.
What were conditions like in the mid-cap segment of the U.S. stock market?
Along with the broader equity market, prices of stocks of medium-size companies went on a rollercoaster ride during the period that began November 1, 2010.
| • | | The Index posted gains for each of the first six months of the period. Early on, stock prices rose as the Federal Reserve launched a new bond-buying program, quantitative easing II (QE2), which aimed to help boost economic growth in the United States. Also, President Obama and Congress reached a deal in December that extended the Bush tax cuts, extended unemployment benefits, and reduced payroll taxes. Better-than-expected global economic data also encouraged investment in stocks. |
| • | | The market rally initially continued during 2011, despite shocks such as regime change in North Africa and the Middle East and a powerful earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan during March. Data suggested the U.S. economic recovery remained on track, even though the housing market remained weak and job growth remained sluggish. |
| • | | But beginning in May, the broader stock market and the Index suffered five consecutive monthly losses. Higher energy prices, the tragedy in Japan, a renewed flare-up in a European sovereign-debt crisis, and extreme weather in the United States took a toll on U.S. economic growth. During the summer, the global economy entered a dangerous phase with pronounced downside risk. Fears of a systemic shock to the world’s financial system increased as European authorities failed to contain the region’s debt crisis. The developed world faced a bleak outlook as the U.S. and U.K. economies risked double-dipping into recession and the euro zone economy also appeared headed for downturn. |
| | | | |
Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund | | | 7 | |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| • | | Stocks, however, ended on a strong note. The Index scored a double-digit gain in October, driven largely by continued solid corporate earnings, what was then viewed as progress towards alleviating the European debt crisis, and data that suggested the U.S. economy was not sliding into a double-dip recession. |
| • | | Stocks of medium-size companies slightly underperformed stocks of large companies for the period, as measured by Russell U.S. indexes. |
How did the stock market sectors perform?
Sectors in the Index turned in a mixed performance for the period.
| • | | Utilities and consumer staples, two of the more defensive sectors, posted double-digit increases, the largest of the period. Energy, healthcare, and consumer discretionary delivered more modest double-digit gains, while industrials finished with a single-digit increase. |
| • | | Telecommunications services posted a double-digit loss, the largest decline of the period. Information technology, financials, and materials also finished in the red. |
What aspects of sector allocation and stock selection contributed most to the Fund’s return?
Primary contributors to the Fund’s performance were its strong stock selection in the healthcare, utilities, and consumer discretionary sectors. It also had a smaller exposure than the Index to the financials sector, which was another key contributor to its results.
| • | | Within the healthcare sector, the Fund benefited from holding Kinetic Concepts, a maker of wound-care products that agreed to be acquired by a consortium led by Apax Partners. Not holding the stock of Boston Scientific, a manufacturer of cardiovascular devices, also aided performance, as the firm struggled with recurring product recalls and a poor competitive position relative to peers. |
| • | | The Fund was also aided by its larger-than-benchmark exposure to managed care companies, including Humana, Coventry Health Care, and Aetna. Investors appear to believe the new regulatory environment will not be as onerous as previously expected. Humana stock performed well due to the Medicare-focused managed care company’s consensus-beating earnings, an increase in its stock buyback plans, and the establishment of its first quarterly dividend. |
| • | | An overweight and favorable stock selection among utilities, the best-performing sector during the period, also contributed to results. The stocks of |
| | |
8 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
| diversified and regulated utilities, including NiSource, CenterPoint Energy, and ONEOK benefited from their relatively stable earnings growth and attractive dividend yields in the current low-interest-rate environment. |
| • | | Strong stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector also aided results. Among consumer service stocks, Weight Watchers International was a standout as its stock more than doubled during the period. The firm’s successful marketing and new Points Plus diet plan are delivering strong growth globally. Within media, a larger-than-benchmark exposure to McGraw-Hill aided performance, as a decision to split into two companies was received favorably by investors. |
| • | | The Fund’s performance was aided by its smaller-than-benchmark exposure to financials, especially commercial banks, which were battered during the period. Not holding Regions Financial and SunTrust Banks were key contributors as the two banks’ earnings and capital levels are being pressured by the prolonged decline in real estate prices in the Southeast and by the ongoing low-interest-rate environment. Among insurance companies, not holding Genworth Financial, whose primary businesses include long-term care and mortgage insurance, also helped performance. Elevated mortgage delinquencies, inadequate pricing on portions of the long-term care business, and ongoing low interest rates are pressuring the company’s earnings and capital position. |
What aspects of sector allocation and stock selection subtracted most from the return?
Primary detractors from the Fund’s performance were its larger-than-benchmark exposure to telecommunications (the worst-performing sector of the period) and poor stock selection in the information technology sector.
| • | | In telecommunications, larger-than-benchmark exposure to wireless carriers, especially NII Holdings and Metro PCS Communications, penalized results. Earnings estimates were reduced for NII, a provider of mobile communications for business customers in Latin America. This reflected the highly competitive environment in Brazil and Mexico, as well as NII’s ever-increasing spending on infrastructure and expected foreign-exchange losses from a sharp deterioration in Latin American currencies versus the U.S. dollar. No less competitive, stocks of stand-alone domestic wireless carriers also fell, including Metro PCS. Its near-term earnings estimates declined sharply due to increases in capital spending, higher customer retention costs, and other economic headwinds. |
| • | | In information technology, not holding Motorola Mobility (the mobile devices and cable-box business of the former Motorola) was the sector’s single largest |
| | | | |
Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund | | | 9 | |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| detractor from performance. Motorola Mobility stock soared after Google offered to buy the company at an attractive premium. A larger-than-benchmark exposure to Xerox also hurt results. Apparently, investors were disappointed by Xerox management’s reduced guidance for near-term cash flow, sub-par equipment installations, and slow progress on growing its services business. |
| • | | The Fund’s holding in Computer Sciences, an investment technology services firm with a major exposure to government spending, also penalized its results. Three matters continue to weigh on the stock: the early termination of a major government contract in the United Kingdom, depressed federal government spending, and an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into accounting issues in one of the firm’s divisions. |

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemptions, as applicable, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses, as applicable. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2011, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2011. The example is for illustrative purposes only; you should consult the Prospectus for information on initial and subsequent minimum investment requirements.
The Fund’s transfer agent may charge additional fees to holders of certain accounts that are not included in the expenses shown in the table on the following page. These fees apply to individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Section 403(b) accounts. As of the close of the six-month period covered by the table, IRA fees included an annual maintenance fee of $15 per account (subject to a maximum annual maintenance fee of $25 for all accounts held by the same shareholder). Section 403(b) accounts are charged an annual $25 fiduciary maintenance fee. Some of the fees may vary in amount, or may be waived, based on your total account balance or the number of Prudential Investments funds, including the Fund, that you own. You should consider the additional fees that were charged to your Fund account over the six-month period when you estimate the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of these fees on your ending account value, as these additional expenses are not reflected in the information provided in the expense table. Additional fees have the effect of reducing investment returns.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value ÷ $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Six-Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each share class in the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and

Fees and Expenses (continued)
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line for each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10 (the “Company”) is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Company was organized on March 5, 1997, as a Maryland Corporation. The Company operates as a series company. At October 31, 2011, the Company consisted of two diversified investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The information presented in these financial statements pertains to Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”). The investment objective of the Fund is capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks of medium capitalization companies.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such policies are consistently followed by the Company and the Fund in the preparation of their financial statements.
Securities Valuation: Securities listed on a securities exchange (other than options on securities and indices) are valued at the last sale price on such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price on such day in the absence of an asked price. Securities that are actively traded via NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price as provided by NASDAQ. Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is believed by Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) in consultation with the subadviser, to be over-the-counter, are valued at market value using prices provided by an independent pricing agent or principal market maker. Futures contracts and options thereon traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at the last sale price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade or, if there was no sale on the applicable commodities exchange or board of trade on such day, at the mean between the most recently quoted prices on such exchange or board of trade or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. Prices may be obtained from independent pricing services which use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been affected by
| | |

events occurring after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time, are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Directors’ approved fair valuation procedures. When determining the fair valuation 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 issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; any available analyst media or other reports or information deemed reliable by the investment adviser 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 mutual funds to calculate their net asset value.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at the net asset value as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the date of valuation.
Foreign Currency Translation: Fund securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based on the current rates of exchange. Purchases and sales of Fund securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. Gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates applicable to long-term foreign securities are not reported separately from gains and losses arising from movements in securities prices. Net realized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency exchange contracts, gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates of foreign securities transactions, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued on foreign securities and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses include gains and losses from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than Fund securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Securities Lending: The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the market value of the securities loaned. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Funds. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the lender securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds have the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Funds recognize income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities in the form of fees or interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive

Notes to Financial Statements
continued
interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognize any unrealized gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and discounts on portfolio securities as adjustments to interest income. Expenses are recorded on the accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management.
Net investment income or loss (other than distribution fees, which are charged directly to the respective class) and unrealized and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends, if any, from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. These dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, are distributed at least annually. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified to paid-in capital when they arise.
Taxes: For federal income tax purposes, each Fund in the Company is treated as a separate tax paying entity. It is the Fund’s policy to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable net income and capital gains, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
Estimates: The preparation of the 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
The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement with PI which provides that the Manager will furnish the Fund with investment advice and investment management and administrative services. The Manager has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). The subadvisory agreement provides that QMA furnishes investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. PI pays for the services of QMA, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The advisory fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of ..90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to $500 million, .85% of the next $500 million and .80% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The effective management fee rate was .90% for the year ended October 31, 2011.
Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers or directors of the Manager. The Fund pays no compensation directly to their officers or interested directors.
The Fund has distribution agreements with Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) and Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”). PIMS and PAD are both affiliates of PI and indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential. PIMS serves as the distributor of the Fund’s Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Q and Class Z shares. PIMS, together with PAD, serves as co-distributor of the Fund’s Class L, Class M and Class X shares.
The Company has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan (each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”) for the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M and Class X shares of the Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, as amended. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for the Fund’s Class Q or Class Z shares.
Under the Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD a distribution and service fee at the annual rate of .30%, 1.00%, 1.00%, .50%, 1.00% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, B, C, L, M, and X shares, respectively. Through February 28, 2013, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares.
Management has received the maximum allowable amount of sales charges for Class M and X in accordance with regulatory limits. As such, any contingent deferred sales charges received by the Manager are contributed back into the Fund and included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights as a contribution to capital.

| | | | | | |
Class A FESC | | Class A CDSC | | Class B CDSC | | Class C CDSC |
$39,292 | | $878 | | $8,388 | | $623 |
4. Other Transactions with Affiliates
Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC (“PMFS”), an affiliate of PI and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, serves as the Fund’s transfer agent. Transfer agent fees and expenses shown in the Statements of Operations include certain out-of pocket expenses paid to non-affiliates, where applicable.
The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.
Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Prudential, served as the Fund’s securities lending agent. For the year ended October 31, 2011, PIM has been compensated approximately $17,600 for these services.
5. Shares of Capital Stock
Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge of up to 5.50%. Purchases of $1 million or more are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if shares are redeemed within 12 months of their purchase. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement and/or benefit plans. Class B shares are sold with a CDSC which declines from 5% to zero depending upon the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares approximately seven years after purchase. Class M shares will automatically convert to Class A

shares approximately eight years after purchase. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class A, Class B or Class C to Class Z shares of the Fund. In addition, under certain limited circumstances, an exchange may be made from Class Z to Class A or Class Q shares of the Fund. Class C shares are sold with a CDSC of 1% on shares redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase. Class L shares are closed to new initial purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends). Class M shares are also closed to new initial purchases (with the exception of reinvested dividends).

Class X shares are closed to new purchases. The authorized capital stock of the Company is 5.5 billion shares, with a par value of $.001 per share. Of the Company’s authorized capital stock, 175 million authorized shares have been allocated to the Fund and divided into eight classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C, Class L, Class M, Class Q, Class X and Class Z capital stock, each of which consists of 50 million, 10 million, 30 million, 2 million, 2 million, 40 million, 1 million and 40 million authorized shares, respectively. Class Q and Class Z shares are not subject to any sales or redemption charge and are offered exclusively for sale to a limited group of investors.

6. Distributions and Tax Information
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
For the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $508,669 and $956,212 of ordinary income, respectively.
As of October 31, 2011, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $205,942 of ordinary income. This differs from the amount shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities primarily due to cumulative timing differences between financial and tax reporting.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of October 31, 2011 of approximately $5,273,000 which expires in 2017. The Fund utilized capital loss carryforward to offset net taxable capital gains realized in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 of approximately $15,693,000. Accordingly, no capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such carryforward. Under the recently enacted Regulated
| | |
38 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. However, any post-enactment losses are required to be utilized before the utilization of losses incurred prior to the effective date of the Act. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards related to the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2011 was as follows:
| | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$141,820,279 | | $17,483,207 | | $(11,494,091) | | $5,989,116 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short term obligations, during the year ended October 31, 2011, were $53,358,523 and $73,695,923, respectively.
8. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Companies”), is a party to a syndicated Credit Agreement (“SCA”) with a group of banks. The purpose of the SCA is to provide an alternative source of temporary funding for capital share redemptions. The SCA provides for a commitment of

$750 million for the period December 17, 2010 through December 16, 2011. The Companies pay an annualized commitment fee of 0.10% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 17, 2010, the Companies had another Syndicated Credit Agreement (the “Expired SCA”) of a $500 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of 0.15% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under these SCAs is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly. The SCA has been renewed on substantially similar terms with an increase in the amount of commitment to $900 million.
The Fund utilized the SCA during the year ended October 31, 2011. The average daily balance for the 3 days the Fund had loans outstanding during the year was approximately $2,246,000 borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.46%. At October 31, 2011, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan amount.
Note 9. Dividends to Shareholders
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Fund declared ordinary income dividends on November 17, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 18, 2011. The ex-dividend date was November 21, 2011. The per share amounts declared were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Ordinary Income | |
Class A | | $ | 0.10582 | |
Class B | | $ | 0.01537 | |
Class C | | $ | 0.01537 | |
Class L | | $ | 0.07152 | |
Class M | | $ | 0.10582 | |
Class Q | | $ | 0.17696 | |
Class X | | $ | 0.10582 | |
Class Z | | $ | 0.14127 | |
Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-03 “Reconsideration of Effective control for Repurchase Agreements.” The objective of ASU No. 2011-03 is to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. Under previous guidance, whether or not to account for a transaction as a sale was
| | |

based on, in part, if the entity maintained effective control over the transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2011-03 removes the transferor’s ability criterion from the effective control assessment. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-03 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund, a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10 (hereafter referred to as the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2011, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2011, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Advisory Agreements
The Fund’s Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”)1 consists of 10 individuals, eight of whom are not “interested persons” of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Directors”). The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Directors have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Director. The Board has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Investment Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Directors.
Annual Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements
As required under the 1940 Act, the Board determines annually whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (“PI”) and the Fund’s subadvisory agreement with Quantitative Management Associates LLC (“QMA”). In considering the renewal of the agreements, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on June 6-8, 2011 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2012, after concluding that the renewal of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
In advance of the meetings, the Board requested and received materials relating to the agreements, and had the opportunity to ask questions and request further information in connection with its consideration. Among other things, the Board considered comparative fee information from PI and QMA. Also, the Board considered comparisons with other mutual funds in relevant Peer Universes and Peer Groups. The mutual funds included in each Peer Universe or Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles over the one-, three- and five-year periods ending December 31, 2010, with the first quartile being the best 25% of the mutual funds (for performance, the best performing mutual funds and, for expenses, the lowest cost mutual funds).
In approving the agreements, the Board, including the Independent Directors advised by independent legal counsel, considered the factors it deemed relevant, including the nature, quality and extent of services provided by PI and the subadviser, the performance of the Fund, the profitability of PI and its affiliates, expenses and fees, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Fund and its

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
shareholders as the Fund’s assets grow. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the agreements with respect to the Fund. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by PI throughout the year at regular Board meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 6-8, 2011.
The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and PI, which serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between PI and QMA, which serves as the Fund’s subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement with PI, are in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.
The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the agreements are separately discussed below.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services
The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by PI and QMA. The Board considered the services provided by PI, including but not limited to the oversight of the subadviser for the Fund, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance, and other services to the Fund. With respect to PI’s oversight of the subadviser, the Board noted that PI’s Strategic Investment Research Group (“SIRG”), which is a business unit of PI, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to PI’s senior management on the performance and operations of the subadviser. The Board also considered that PI pays the salaries of all of the officers and non-independent Directors of the Fund. The Board also considered the investment subadvisory services provided by QMA, as well as adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions and compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures. The Board considered PI’s evaluation of the subadviser, as well as PI’s recommendation, based on its review of the subadviser, to renew the subadvisory agreement.
The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of PI’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and QMA, and also reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the QMA portfolio managers who are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board was provided with information pertaining to PI’s and QMA’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information
Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com
pertaining to PI and QMA. The Board also noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as to each of PI and QMA. The Board noted that QMA is affiliated with PI.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment management services provided by PI and the subadvisory services provided to the Fund by QMA, and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and QMA under the management and subadvisory agreements.
Performance of the Fund
The Board received and considered information about the Fund’s historical performance. The Board considered that the Fund’s gross performance in relation to its Peer Universe (the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe) was in the first quartile over the three-year period, in the second quartile over the five-year period, and in the third quartile over the one-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over the three- and five-year periods, though it underperformed its benchmark index over the one-year period. The Board further noted that the Fund’s performance was in the first quartile for the first quarter of 2011. The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s competitive performance over longer time periods, it would be in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders for the Fund to renew the agreements.
Fees and Expenses
The Board considered the Fund’s actual management fees (which reflects any subsidies, expense caps or waivers) and total expenses both ranked in the Expense Group’s fourth quartile. The Board considered PI’s explanation that the Fund’s fourth quartile ranking for total expenses was attributable to relatively high transfer agency fees resulting from a large number of small balance accounts.
The Board concluded that the management fees and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided, including the Fund’s subadvisory fees and competitive performance over longer time periods.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PI
The Board was provided with information on the profitability of PI and its affiliates in serving as the Fund’s investment manager. The Board discussed with PI the methodology utilized in assembling the information regarding profitability and considered its reasonableness. The Board recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund management contracts because comparative information is not

generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocations and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. The Board did not separately consider the profitability of the subadviser, an affiliate of PI, as its profitability was reflected in the profitability report for PI. Taking these factors into account, the Board concluded that the profitability of PI and its affiliates in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Board received and discussed information concerning whether PI realizes economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grow beyond current levels. The Board noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, but at the current level of assets, the Fund does not realize the effect of those rate reductions. The Board took note that the Fund’s fee structure would result in benefits to Fund shareholders when (and if) assets reach the levels at which the fee rate is reduced. These benefits will accrue whether or not PI is then realizing any economies of scale.
Other Benefits to PI and QMA
The Board considered potential ancillary benefits that might be received by PI and QMA and their affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential benefits to be derived by PI included fees received by affiliates of PI for serving as the Fund’s securities lending agent, transfer agency fees received by the Fund’s transfer agent (which is affiliated with PI), and benefits to the reputation as well as other intangible benefits resulting from PI’s association with the Fund. The Board concluded that the potential benefits to be derived by QMA included its ability to use soft dollar credits, as well as the potential benefits consistent with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to the reputation. The Board concluded that the benefits derived by PI and QMA were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.
After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that the approval of the agreements was in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

THE PRUDENTIAL MUTUAL FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY
on
Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Accountants
The Audit Committee of each Prudential Mutual Fund is charged with the responsibility to monitor the independence of the Fund’s independent accountants. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee must pre-approve any independent accounting firm’s engagement to render audit and/or permissible non-audit services, as required by law. In evaluating a proposed engagement of the independent accountants, the Audit Committee will assess the effect that the engagement might reasonably be expected to have on the accountant’s independence. The Committee’s evaluation will be based on:
| • | | a review of the nature of the professional services expected to be provided, |
| • | | a review of the safeguards put into place by the accounting firm to safeguard independence, and |
| • | | periodic meetings with the accounting firm. |
Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services Provided to the Funds
On an annual basis, the scope of audits for each Fund, audit fees and expenses, and audit-related and non-audit services (and fees proposed in respect thereof) proposed to be performed by the Fund’s independent accountants will be presented by the Treasurer and the independent accountants to the Audit Committee for review and, as appropriate, approval prior to the initiation of such services. Such presentation shall be accompanied by confirmation by both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants. Proposed services shall be described in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to assess the appropriateness of such services and fees, and the compatibility of the provision of such services with the auditor’s independence. The Committee shall receive periodic reports on the progress of the audit and other services which are approved by the Committee or by the Committee Chair pursuant to authority delegated in this Policy.
The categories of services enumerated under “Audit Services”, “Audit-related Services”, and “Tax Services” are intended to provide guidance to the Treasurer and the independent accountants as to those categories of services which the Committee believes are generally consistent with the independence of the independent accountants and which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would expect upon the presentation of specific proposals to pre-approve. The enumerated categories are not intended as an exclusive list of audit, audit-related or tax services, which the Committee (or the Committee Chair) would consider for pre-approval.
Audit Services
The following categories of audit services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Annual Fund financial statement audits |
| • | | Seed audits (related to new product filings, as required) |
| • | | SEC and regulatory filings and consents |
Audit-related Services
The following categories of audit-related services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Accounting consultations |
| • | | Fund merger support services |
| • | | Agreed Upon Procedure Reports |
| • | | Other Internal Control Reports |
Individual audit-related services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Tax Services
The following categories of tax services are considered to be consistent with the role of the Fund’s independent accountants:
| • | | Tax compliance services related to the filing or amendment of the following: |
| • | | Federal, state and local income tax compliance; and, |
| • | | Sales and use tax compliance |
| • | | Timely RIC qualification reviews |
| • | | Tax distribution analysis and planning |
| • | | Tax authority examination services |
| • | | Tax appeals support services |
| • | | Accounting methods studies |
| • | | Fund merger support services |
| • | | Tax consulting services and related projects |
Individual tax services that fall within one of these categories and are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000.
Other Non-audit Services
Certain non-audit services that the independent accountants are legally permitted to render will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee or by one or more Committee members to whom the Committee has delegated this authority and who will report to the full Committee any pre-approval decisions made pursuant to this Policy. Non-audit services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Proscribed Services
The Fund’s independent accountants will not render services in the following categories of non-audit services:
| • | | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund |

| • | | Broker or dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services |
| • | | Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit |
| • | | Any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible. |
Pre-approval of Non-Audit Services Provided to Other Entities Within the Prudential Fund Complex
Certain non-audit services provided to Prudential Investments LLC or any of its affiliates that also provide ongoing services to the Prudential Mutual Funds will be subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The only non-audit services provided to these entities that will require pre-approval are those related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Individual projects that are not presented to the Audit Committee as part of the annual pre-approval process will be subject to pre-approval by the Committee Chair (or any other Committee member on whom this responsibility has been delegated) so long as the estimated fee for those services does not exceed $50,000. Services presented for pre-approval pursuant to this paragraph will be accompanied by a confirmation from both the Treasurer and the independent accountants that the proposed services will not adversely affect the independence of the independent accountants.
Although the Audit Committee will not pre-approve all services provided to Prudential Investments LLC and its affiliates, the Committee will receive an annual report from the Fund’s independent accounting firm showing the aggregate fees for all services provided to Prudential Investments and its affiliates.

(h) Principal Accountant’s Independence
