Dear Shareholder:

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 A shares) with a similar investment in the Lipper Equity Income Index and the S&P 500 Index by portraying the initial account values at the commencement of operations for Class A shares (April 12, 2004) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2012) 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 A 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 A shares only. As indicated in the tables above, performance for Class B, Class C, 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). Without waiver of fees and/or expense reimbursement, if any, the returns would have been lower.
Although Class X is the only share class offered by the Fund with 10 calendar years of returns, returns for Class A shares are displayed because Class X shares are closed to new investors.
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.
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 shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell those shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, and 6%, respectively. Class Q, Class R, and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge. Class B, Class C, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class R shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.75%. Class X shares are not offered to new purchasers and are available only through exchanges from the same share class of certain other Prudential Investments mutual funds. Class Q and Class Z shares are not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables and graph reflect the share class expense structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. 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.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
The Jennison Equity Income Fund Class A shares returned 10.77% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2012, underperforming the 14.53% gain of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index, the 13.18% gain of the Lipper Equity Income Funds Average, and the 15.19% gain of the S&P 500 Index.
What was the market environment like for stocks during the period?
Equity markets were highly volatile in the 12 months ended October 31, 2012 — up strongly in the first five months, down sharply in May, then back on an upward trajectory beginning in June. The gyrations reflected swings in sentiment around European sovereign debt issues and uncertainty about global growth. Stock prices rose and fell as sentiment veered between optimism and pessimism, often based on short-term data.
U.S. economic growth proceeded at a subpar pace, and unemployment remained high as the job market expanded at a meager pace. Personal income and spending increased at generally lackluster rates, and business and housing indicators were inconsistent.
With the implementation of austerity measures, many European economies contracted. Growth in China, a key engine of global economic expansion, slowed. Volatile raw materials, commodities, food, and energy prices reflected shifts in economic expectations.
Which holdings made the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s return?
The Fund’s energy infrastructure holdings Targa Resources, Cheniere Energy, and Williams Companies made the most significant contributions to absolute return over the past 12 months. Gains by consumer sector positions also helped, led by media giant Comcast and tobacco company Philip Morris International.
Targa Resources, a master limited partnership, weathered the year’s extreme commodity price volatility, and ended the year as the leading Fund contributor. Targa benefits from one of the largest portfolios in North America of strategically located Southern U.S. and Gulf Coast infrastructure assets, including gathering systems, processing plants, and natural gas liquid fractionators and import-export facilities. Jennison continues to see Targa as well positioned to take advantage of upstream developments in the Permian Basin and elsewhere. Management has planned an aggressive program of projects for expansion, which Jennison believes will help sustain robust dividend growth in the coming year.

Cheniere Energy posted a large gain for the period, marking a number of important milestones toward development of a natural gas liquefaction facility in Louisiana. In April, Cheniere received its last critical permit from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and gave orders to begin construction in August. Jennison continues to see Cheniere as extremely well positioned to take advantage of the shifting dynamics in the liquefied natural gas market.
Williams Companies recently completed a major restructuring, which included spinning off its exploration and production business into a separate, publicly traded company. Williams is now one of the dominant natural gas infrastructure companies in the U.S. Its assets encompass strategic pipelines and other facilities in a number of key basins, including the Marcellus and Utica shales, as well as deepwater Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region. Like many energy-related companies, the stock came under pressure in the second quarter, and then rallied through mid-October. Williams, in Jennison’s view, remains well positioned to sustain its robust dividend growth by capitalizing on stepped-up natural gas production and expanding its business.
Which holdings detracted most from the Fund’s return?
The year’s detractors were somewhat more diversified by sector, including the tech sector’s Finisar, NII Holdings, and Leighton Holdings. Losses recorded by Monster Beverages and Oracle positions also hurt period returns.
Shares of fiber optic component provider Finisar never fully recovered from the company’s disappointing fourth quarter 2011 results. The stock rallied in the first two months of 2012 on expectations the company would benefit from strong new product introductions. However, the ongoing lack of visibility regarding Chinese telecommunications capital spending remained a challenge for the stock throughout the year.
Shares of Latin American wireless telecom service provider NII Holdings remained under pressure most of the year. Although the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against Latin American currencies and increasing competition were partly to blame, the bigger problems related to poor execution. The company repeatedly failed to meet its targets. Additions to its subscriber base repeatedly came in weaker than expected, margins disappointed, and there were repeated delays in the company’s 3G rollout in Peru. Given what Jennison saw as increased execution risk, it closed the position in May.
Leighton Holdings is one of Australia’s largest engineering and construction firms. The company had taken write-offs in 2010 and 2011 on two major projects and also

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
made changes in management. Jennison initiated the position after the new management team affirmed the projects were on-track. However, additional delays and cost overruns led to an unexpected write-down, which appeared to damage management’s credibility with investors. Jennison made the decision to exit the position in favor of other investment candidates that were seen as having more promising risk-reward profiles.
Were there significant changes to the Portfolio?
During the reporting period there were no significant changes to the portfolio’s positioning. Rather, the Fund added or exited individual positions based on company fundamentals and the stock’s risk-reward characteristics. Significant positions established included Maxim Integrated Products, Cheniere Energy, and Union Pacific. Positions in other securities, including Intel, Johnson & Johnson, and Reynolds American were eliminated.

Comments on Largest Holdings
2.7% | Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pharmaceuticals |
Bristol-Myers Squibb is a global biopharmaceutical company, known for blockbuster drugs used in the treatment of major health concerns including heart disease, hypertension, and HIV. In 2012, the company turned its attention to strategic acquisitions, stressing the development of biologics and specialty drugs with long patent lives. At the end of June, management announced authorization of an additional $3 billion for share repurchases, a move seen by some as evidence of continued confidence in the firm’s new product portfolio and late stage pipeline. Jennison sees Bristol-Myers’ management as determined to contain operating expenses even as it takes steps to enhance its product portfolio, which should help to sustain the company’s healthy dividend yield over the long run.
2.6% | Maxim Integrated Products, Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment |
Maxim Integrated Products designs, manufactures, and markets a wide range of products, including linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits. More recently, Maxim results have been driven by smart phone growth in its consumer sector, which has left the firm somewhat more vulnerable to global macroeconomic concerns. Jennison sees Maxim as well positioned for the longer term, given the diversity of its customer and product base, and the relative stability of its pricing power. Jennison also believes the stock offers an attractive yield, particularly for a tech company.
2.6% | Frontier Communications, Diversified Telecommunication Services |
Frontier Communications is a telephone wire line company serving primarily rural areas and small to mid-sized towns in more than 25 states. Toward the end of the period, signs emerged suggesting the company’s efforts to cut costs and exploit the prospects of its 2010 acquisition of access lines from Verizon were finally starting to pay off. The increased visibility of progress and continued revenue improvements helped to boost Jennison’s confidence in Frontier’s ability to maintain its above-average dividend yield over the near to intermediate term.

Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 9 | |
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, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2012. 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
| | |
10 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
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.

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair value as of the beginning of period. At the reporting period end, there was one Common Stock security transferred out of Level 3 as a result of being priced by a formula with observable inputs.
Level 3 securities as presented in the table above are being fair valued using pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee, which contain unobservable inputs. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, using prices provided by a single broker/dealer and using subadvisor valuation models for securities not priced on an exchange.
The valuation techniques and significant amounts of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s Level 3 securities are outlined in the table below.

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, 2012, 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 income and capital appreciation.
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: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of
| | |
26 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
securities and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:
Common stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options and swap contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their
| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 27 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
internal pricing model with input from deal term, tranche level attributes, yield curve, prepayment speeds, and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in 60 days or less, are valued using amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; 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 values.
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
| | |
28 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
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 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.
When a Fund writes an option on a swap, an amount equal to any premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the written option on the swap. If a call option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) and receive a variable interest rate on a notional amount. If a put option on a swap is exercised, the Fund becomes obligated to pay a variable interest rate and receive a fixed interest rate (noted as the strike price) on a notional amount. Premiums
| | | | |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund | | | 29 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
continued
received from writing options on swaps that expire or are exercised are treated as realized gains upon the expiration or exercise of such options on swaps. The risk associated with writing put and call options on swaps is that the Fund will be obligated to be party to a swap agreement if an option on a swap is exercised.
Securities Lending: The Fund may lend their portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid short-term money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. 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 Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Fund recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities, and any interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Fund also continues to receive interest and dividends or amounts equivalent thereto, on the securities loaned and recognizes 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 from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.
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 adjusted 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
| | |
30 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
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 Fee 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 pays the subadvisor a fee as compensation for advisory services provided to the Fund. The Manager has voluntarily agreed 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.

6. Distributions and Tax Information
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and 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, 2012, the adjustments were to decrease undistributed net investment income and decrease accumulated net realized loss on investment and foreign currency transactions by $766,707 due to differences in the 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, 2012 and 2011, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $84,965,377 and $51,909,509 of ordinary income, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of October 31, 2012 the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $17,448,694 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.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | | Other Cost Basis Adjustment | | Total Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$2,969,942,777 | | $294,435,851 | | $(118,169,108) | | $176,266,743 | | $299,628 | | $176,566,371 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis is primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales, investment in partnerships and other cost basis differences between financial and tax reporting. Other cost basis adjustments are primarily attributable to appreciation (depreciation) of foreign currencies and options.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (“the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 (“post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. 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 taxable years ending before October 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) 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. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of October 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
| | | | |
Post-Enactment Losses: | | $ | 25,654,000 | |
| | | | |
Pre-Enactment Losses: | | | | |
Expiring 2016 | | $ | 16,679,000 | |
Expiring 2017 | | | 26,282,000 | |
Expiring 2019 | | | 20,428,000 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 63,389,000 | |

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.
7. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short term obligations, during the year ended October 31, 2012, were $2,445,857,267 and $1,806,545,845, respectively.

8. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), 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 $900 million for the period December 16, 2011 through November 14, 2012. The SCA has been renewed effective November 15, 2012 at substantially similar terms through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of ..08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 16, 2011, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement of a $750 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of .10% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.

The Fund utilized the SCA during the year ended October 31, 2012. The average daily balance for the one day the Fund had loans outstanding during the period was $8,000,000 borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 1.47%. At October 31, 2012, the Fund did not have an outstanding loan amount.
Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
Note 10. Dividends to Shareholders
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Fund declared an ordinary income dividend on December 19, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 20, 2012. The ex-dividend date was December 21, 2012. The per share amount declared was as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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 ten 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 5-7, 2012 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2013, 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, as is further discussed below.
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 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
1 | Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund is a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios, Inc. 10. |
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
meetings, presentations from portfolio managers and other information, as well as information furnished at or in advance of the meetings on June 5-7, 2012.
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 best interests 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 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.
Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com
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.
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 noted that the management fee schedule for the Fund includes breakpoints, which have the effect of decreasing the fee rate as assets increase, and that at its current level of assets the Fund’s effective fee rate reflected some 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 currently results in benefits to Fund shareholders whether or not PI realizes any economies of scale. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.
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
Prudential Jennison Equity Income Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
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.
Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses
The Board considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2011.
The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.
The mutual funds included in the Peer Universe (the Lipper Equity Income Funds Performance Universe) and the Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles, 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).
The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

| • | | The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over the three- and five-year periods, although it underperformed over the one-year period. |
| • | | The Board accepted PI’s recommendation to reduce its effective management fee by adding fee breakpoints of .75% on assets between $1 billion and $2.5 billion, and .725% on assets over $2.5 billion. |
| • | | The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s strong performance over longer time periods, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements. |
| • | | The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided. |

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Growth of a $10,000 Investment

The graph compares a $10,000 investment in the Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund (Class A 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 commencement of operations for Class A shares (April 12, 2004) and the account values at the end of the current fiscal year (October 31, 2012) 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

Your Fund’s Performance (continued)
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 A 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 A shares only. As indicated in the tables above, performance for Class B, Class C, 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). Without waiver of fees and/or expense reimbursement, if any, the returns would have been lower.
Although Class X and Class C shares have 10 calendar years of returns, returns for Class A shares are displayed above because Class X shares are closed to new investors and displaying the returns for Class A shares is consistent with the annual reports and prospectuses issued by the other funds in the Prudential Investments fund family.
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.

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 shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.50% and a 12b-1 fee of 0.30% annually. All investors who purchase Class A shares in an amount of $1 million or more and sell those shares within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1%. The Class A CDSC is waived for purchases by certain retirement or benefit plans. Under certain circumstances, an exchange may be made from specified share classes of the Fund to one or more other share classes of the Fund. Class X shares are not offered to new purchasers and are available only through exchanges from the same share class of certain other Prudential Investments mutual funds. Class C shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C, and Class X shares are subject to a maximum CDSC of 5%, 1%, and 6%, respectively. Class B, Class C, and Class X shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee of 1%. Class Q shares and Class Z shares are not subject to a sales charge or a 12b-1 fee. The returns in the tables and graph reflect the share class structure in effect at the close of the fiscal period. 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.

Russell Midcap Index Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns as of 9/30/12 are 7.27% for Class A and Class B; 5.83% for Class Q; and 5.31% for Class Z.
Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Average
Funds in the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Average (Lipper Average), by portfolio practice, invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) less than 300% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. Mid-cap value funds typically have a below-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio, and three-year sales-per-share growth value compared with the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception cumulative total returns as of 10/31/12 are 60.52% for Class A and Class B; 5.43% for Class Q; and 30.09% for Class Z. Lipper Average Closest Month-End to Inception average annual total returns as of 9/30/12 are 5.59% for Class A and Class B; 3.26% for Class Q; and 3.79% for Class Z.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index or average. The returns for the Indexes would be lower if they included the effects of sales charges, operating expenses of a mutual fund, or taxes. Returns for the Lipper Average reflect the deduction of operating expenses, but not sales charges or taxes.

Strategy and Performance Overview
How did the Fund perform?
Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund’s Class A shares returned 11.16% for the 12-month reporting period ended October 31, 2012, underperforming the 14.99% gain of the benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index (the Index) and the 12.75% gain of the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Average.
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-sized U.S. companies performed well during the period that began November 1, 2011 despite headwinds from slowing jobs growth, uncertainty surrounding the looming U.S. “fiscal” cliff, (expiring tax cuts and mandatory budget cuts) and the continuing euro zone debt crisis.
| • | | During the first quarter of 2012, improving economic data that included a strong jobs market which created over 200,000 jobs for three months in a row (December, January, and February), combined with the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) upgrade of the U.S. economic growth trajectory from modest to moderate, pushed market indexes to multi-year highs. Stock market performance in the first three months of 2012 ranked among the best quarterly returns since 1998. |
| • | | Mid-cap value stocks enjoyed a strong rally in the first quarter but performance faded in the spring after worries surfaced over the European debt crisis and the strength of the global economy. Waning job numbers and the Fed’s failure to immediately act on them disappointed investors, until breakthroughs by European policymakers reenergized global financial markets on the last day of the quarter. The S&P 500 posted its largest single-day gain of the year, although stocks remained down for the quarter due to the plunge in May. The Index posted back-to-back negative returns in April and May. A volatile quarter aside, most broad market averages remained positive for the year. |
| • | | In September, central banks around the world slashed target interest rates and the U.S. and Europe announced open-ended bond buying programs to prop up faltering economies. The Fed indicated that Quantitative Easing 3 (QE3) would remain in effect until employment improved. The program, as did two previous rounds of quantitative easing, favored equities and helped push investors into riskier assets, thereby lifting the stock markets, including mid-cap value stocks. |
| • | | After reaching highs in early October, the U.S. stock market subsequently sold off for the remainder of the month, driven by uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the presidential election and its impact on the looming fiscal cliff, coupled with concerns about anemic economic growth. Then events were compounded when Hurricane Sandy, which left widespread flooding and |
| | |
6 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
| blackouts in lower Manhattan, shut down the stock market for two days. For the month, value stocks outperformed growth stocks across all market capitalizations, and mid-cap stocks overall suffered the least. |
| • | | For the reporting period, mid-cap value stocks, as measured by the Index, slightly lagged the S&P 500 Index, as risk-averse investors continued to seek safety in larger companies. |
How did the stock market sectors perform?
| • | | With the exception of information technology and energy, all sectors in the Index posted double-digit gains for the period. Consumer discretionary, financials, and consumer staples achieved the strongest gains. Industrials, materials, utilities, healthcare, and telecommunication services also delivered double-digit gains, although their returns fell short of the Index’s performance. |
| • | | Energy finished with a moderate single-digit gain, while information technology, the true laggard, posted a modest loss. |
What aspects of sector allocation and stock selection contributed most to the Fund’s return?
| • | | The primary contributor to the Fund’s performance was strong stock selection in the information technology, energy and financials sectors. |
| • | | Within the technology sector, the timely sale of semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology boosted Fund results. As the year progressed, it became apparent that Micron’s earnings losses would likely continue well into calendar year 2013. Earnings of semiconductor manufacturers have been penalized by continued softness in demand and excess capacity in certain product markets. Above-benchmark exposures to Seagate Technology and Western Digital, two of the largest manufacturers of hard disk drives, also boosted returns after the flooding in Thailand, which materially reduced the industry’s production capacity, boosted the earnings prospects of both companies. |
| • | | Among energy stocks, independent petroleum refiners Tesoro Corporation and Valero Energy Corporation benefited from improving earnings and actions to increase shareholder value. Tesoro instituted a share repurchase program and reinstated its dividend, while Valero management announced plans to separate its retail business from its refining business. |
| • | | The U.S. coal industry has experienced a “perfect storm” of negative factors, including ongoing production cuts necessitated by excess inventories, and declining demand for coal due to more restrictive environmental regulations. |
| | | | |

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
| Avoiding the stocks of Alpha Natural Resources and Arch Coal also benefited the Fund’s results, as the shares of both companies plunged during the period. |
| • | | Within the financial sector, Discover Financial Services was a standout performer. Discover’s strong earnings and share price performance were driven by growth in credit cards and student and personal loans, market share gains, and a continued high level of share repurchase activity. Allied World Assurance, a provider of specialty insurance and reinsurance, also helped performance. Allied’s earnings rebounded strongly from the prior year when the company’s earnings were halved by global catastrophe losses. |
What aspects of sector allocation and stock selection subtracted most from the Fund’s return?
| • | | Primary detractors from the Fund’s performance were negative stock selection in industrials, consumer staples, and healthcare, along with an overweight to and poor stock selection in the telecommunication services sector. |
| • | | The sell-off in the stocks of R.R. Donnelley, a provider of print and other communications solutions, and Pitney Bowes, a manufacturer of mailing supplies, penalized Fund performance. During the period, both companies were forced to reduce earnings prospects, largely due to the slowdown in the global economy. Additionally, investor concerns that both companies might cut their dividends weighed on stock performance. |
| • | | In telecommunications, Fund results were hurt by not owning Sprint. Sprint has been unprofitable for several years as it struggles from a position as the third largest U.S. wireless telephone carrier. The company’s stock more than doubled near the end of the period when Softbank, a Japanese telecom company, decided to take a 70% stake in Sprint. In addition, an above-benchmark exposure to NII Holdings, whose stock plunged during the period, hindered performance. NII is a wireless carrier with significant exposure to the very competitive wireless markets in South America. Profitability took a significant hit as the rollout of the company’s new 3G technology is proving more costly and prolonged than expected. Even so, this rollout should improve the company’s competitive position going forward. |
| • | | Within the consumer staples sector, declines in the stocks of retail grocers SUPERVALU and Safeway hurt performance. In early July, SUPERVALU announced that it would suspend its dividend, accelerate price discounting, and review its strategic alternatives. The market’s reaction was clear, as the stock’s price was halved. The challenging retail grocery business and a relatively heavy debt load penalized Safeway’s earnings during the period. |
| | |

| Overweighting Tyson Foods and Smithfield Foods, whose stocks were notable laggards among food stocks, also weighed on the Fund’s results. Earnings prospects for Tyson weakened during the period, due largely to poor demand and rising grain prices. Estimates for Smithfield’s earnings also fell during the year, with rising corn prices and soft hog prices the main drivers of the shortfall. |
| • | | An overweighting in Humana, a managed care company focused on Medicare and Tricare, also hurt performance. Humana shares fell during the period as concerns mounted that the company had mispriced its Medicare Advantage product in both 2012 and 2013. A decline in the shares of Endo Pharmaceuticals, a manufacturer of specialty pharmaceuticals, also detracted from performance. Challenges to several of Endo’s key products from generics weighed on its stock for much of the period. |

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, 2012, at the beginning of the period, and held through the six-month period ended October 31, 2012. 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, 2012, 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 is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds portfolio securities and other assets that are fair valued at the close of each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated fair valuation responsibilities to Prudential Investments LLC (“PI” or “Manager”) through the adoption of Valuation Procedures for valuation of the Fund’s securities. Under the current Valuation Procedures, a Valuation Committee is established and responsible for supervising the valuation of portfolio securities and other assets. The Valuation Procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers and other valuation methods in events when market quotations are not readily available or not representative of the fair value of the securities. A record of the Valuation Committee’s actions is subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, which are summarized in the three broad level hierarchies based on any observable inputs used as described in the table following the Portfolio of Investments. The valuation methodologies and significant inputs used in determining the fair value of securities
| | |
28 | | Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com |
and other assets classified as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the hierarchy are as follows:
Common stock, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments (including futures contracts and certain options contracts on securities), that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the close of trading on the applicable exchange. Securities traded via NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. To the extent these securities are valued at the last sale price or NASDAQ official closing price, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the event there is no sale or official closing price on such day, these securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices, or at the last bid price in the absence of an asked price. These securities are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these inputs are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
For common stocks traded on foreign securities exchanges, certain valuation adjustments will be applied when events occur after the close of the security’s foreign market and before the Fund’s normal pricing time. These securities are valued using pricing vendor services that provide model prices derived using adjustment factors based on information such as local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, depositary receipts, and futures, as applicable. Securities valued using such model prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the adjustment factors are considered as significant other observable inputs to the valuation.
Investments in open-end, non-exchange-traded mutual funds are valued at their net asset values as of the close of the NYSE on the date of valuation. These securities are classified as Level 1 as they have the ability to be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the over-the-counter market, such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government agencies issues and guaranteed obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and sovereign issues are usually valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide these prices usually after evaluating observable inputs including yield curves, credit rating, yield spreads, default rates, cash flows as well as broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
| | | | |

continued
Asset-backed and mortgage-related securities are usually valued by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors provide the prices using their internal pricing model with input from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, and broker/dealer quotes. Securities valued using such vendor prices are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality, which mature in sixty days or less, are valued using amortized cost method, which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. These securities are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as option contracts, foreign currency contracts and swaps agreements, are usually valued using pricing vendor services, which derive the valuation based on underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and other inputs. These instruments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced using the methods described above are valued with pricing methodologies approved by the Valuation Committee. In the event there are unobservable inputs used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
When determining the fair value of securities, some of the factors influencing the valuation include: the nature of any restrictions on disposition of the securities; assessment of the general liquidity of the securities; the issuer’s financial condition and the markets in which it does business; the cost of the investment; the size of the holding and the capitalization of the issuer; the prices of any recent transactions or bids/offers for such securities or any comparable securities; 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 values.
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 Fund may lend its portfolio securities to banks and broker-dealers. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Collateral pledged by each borrower is invested in a highly liquid short-term money market fund and is marked to market daily, based on the previous day’s market value, such that the value of the collateral exceeds the value of the loaned securities. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the borrower or the Fund. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower will return to the Fund securities identical to the loaned securities. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, the Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The Fund recognizes income, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees, for lending its securities, and any interest on the investment of cash received as collateral. The Fund also continues 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 Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is recorded on the accrual basis. Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.
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 adjusted 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, 2012.
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.
Prudential Investment Management Services LLC (“PIMS”) and Prudential Annuities Distributors, Inc. (“PAD”), both affiliates of the Manager and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential, serve as the distributors of the Fund. The Company has adopted a separate Distribution and Service plan (each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”) for Class A, B, C, L, M, Q, X and Z shares of each Fund in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act,. No distribution or service fees are paid to PIMS as distributor for Class Q or Class Z shares.
Under the Plans, the Fund compensates PIMS and PAD distribution and service fees at an annual rate up to .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, 2014, PIMS has contractually agreed to limit such fees to .25% of the average daily net assets of 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.
During the year ended October 31, 2008, management determined that Class M and Class X shareholders had been charged sales charges in excess of regulatory limits. The Manager has paid these classes for the overcharge which is reflected in the Financial Highlights for Class M for the years ended October 31, 2008 and 2007 and Class X for the year ended October 31, 2008.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, PIMS has advised the Fund, front-end sales charges (“FESC”) and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Class A FESC | | Class A CDSC | | Class B CDSC | | Class C CDSC |

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 portfolio of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act, 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, 2012, PIM has been compensated approximately $28,100 for these services.

6. 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, 2012 and 2011, the tax character of dividends paid as reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets were $845,159 and $508,669 of ordinary income, respectively.
As of October 31, 2012, the accumulated undistributed earnings on a tax basis was $596,173 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.
The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized appreciation as of October 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Tax Basis | | Appreciation | | Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation |
$119,560,809 | | $21,697,061 | | $(8,440,735) | | $13,256,326 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis was primarily attributable to deferred losses on wash sales.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (”the Act”), the Fund is permitted to carryforward capital losses incurred in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 (”post-enactment losses”) for an unlimited period. 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 taxable years ending before October 31, 2012 (“pre-enactment losses”) may
| | |

have an increased likelihood to expire unused. The Fund utilized approximately $4,836,000 of its pre-enactment losses to offset net taxable gains realized in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses. As of October 31, 2012, the pre and post-enactment losses were approximately:
| | | | |
Post-Enactment Losses: | | $ | 0 | |
| | | | |
Pre-Enactment Losses: | | | | |
Expiring 2017 | | $ | 436,000 | |
| | | | |
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.
7. Portfolio Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than U.S. government securities and short term obligations, during the year ended October 31, 2012, were $30,563,037 and $52,407,209, respectively.
8. Borrowings
The Fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies (the “Funds”), 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 $900 million for the period December 16, 2011 through November 14, 2012. The SCA has been renewed effective November 15, 2012 at substantially similar terms through November 14, 2013. The Funds pay an annualized commitment fee of .08% of the unused portion of the SCA. Prior to December 16, 2011, the Funds had another Syndicated Credit Agreement of a $750 million commitment with an annualized commitment fee of .10% of the unused portion. Interest on any borrowings under the SCA is paid at contracted market rates. The commitment fee for the unused amount is accrued daily and paid quarterly.
The Fund did not borrow any amounts pursuant to the SCA during the year ended October 31, 2012.

Note 9. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 regarding “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments, which will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods, require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements for assets and liabilities, financial instruments and derivatives that are either currently offset in accordance with current requirements or are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
Note 10. Dividends to Shareholders
Subsequent to the fiscal year end, the Fund declared ordinary income dividends on December 6, 2012 to shareholders of record on December 7, 2012. The ex-dividend date was December 10, 2012. The per share amounts declared were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Ordinary Income | |
Class A | | $ | 0.18559 | |
Class B | | $ | 0.09256 | |
Class C | | $ | 0.09256 | |
Class Q | | $ | 0.26081 | |

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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 Mid-Cap Value Fund
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 ten 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 5-7, 2012 and approved the renewal of the agreements through July 31, 2013, 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, as is further discussed below.
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 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 5-7, 2012.

Prudential Mid-Cap Value Fund
Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
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 best interests 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 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
Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com
conclude that the Fund benefits from the services provided by PI and QMA under the management and subadvisory agreements.
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. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board’s understanding that most of PI’s costs are not specific to individual funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.
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 its 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

Approval of Advisory Agreements (continued)
with those generally resulting from an increase in assets under management, specifically, potential access to additional research resources and benefits to its 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.
Performance of the Fund / Fees and Expenses
The Board considered certain additional specific factors and made related conclusions relating to the historical performance of the Fund for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2011.
The Board also considered the Fund’s actual management fee, as well as the Fund’s net total expense ratio, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. The Board considered the management fee for the Fund as compared to the management fee charged by PI to other funds and the fee charged by other advisers to comparable mutual funds in a Peer Group. The actual management fee represents the fee rate actually paid by Fund shareholders and includes any fee waivers or reimbursements. The net total expense ratio for the Fund represents the actual expense ratio incurred by Fund shareholders.
The mutual funds included in the Peer Universe (the Lipper Mid-Cap Value Funds Performance Universe) and the Peer Group were objectively determined by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of mutual fund data. The comparisons placed the Fund in various quartiles, 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).
The section below summarizes key factors considered by the Board and the Board’s conclusions regarding the Fund’s performance, fees and overall expenses. The table sets forth gross performance comparisons (which do not reflect the impact on performance of fund expenses, or any subsidies, expense caps or waivers that may be applicable) with the Peer Universe, actual management fees with the Peer Group (which reflect the impact of any subsidies or fee waivers), and net total expenses with the Peer Group, each of which were key factors considered by the Board.

| • | | The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over all periods. |
| • | | The Board concluded that, in light of the Fund’s strong performance, it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the agreements. |
| • | | The Board considered that while the Fund’s actual management fees ranked in the fourth quartile, the Board also noted that its fees were only 8 basis points higher than the median. |
| • | | The Board concluded that the management fees (including subadvisory fees) and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services provided. |

After full consideration of these factors, the Board concluded that approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
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 |

| • | | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports |

| • | | 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.
