GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Many terms used within this Updating Summary Prospectus are described within the text where they appear. Not all the descriptions of those terms are repeated in this Glossary of Terms.

Account Value: The total value of all allocations to the Sub-accounts and/or the Secure Value Account on any Valuation Day. The Account Value is determined separately for each Sub-account and the Secure Value Account and then totaled to determine the Account Value for your entire Annuity.  

Annuity Year: The first Annuity Year begins on the Issue Date and continues through and includes the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Issue Date. Subsequent Annuity Years begin on the anniversary of the Issue Date and continue through and include the day immediately preceding the next anniversary of the Issue Date.

Investment Option: A Sub-account or other option available as of any given time to which Account Value may be allocated.

Owner: With an Annuity issued as an individual annuity contract, the Owner is either an eligible entity or individual named as having ownership rights in relation to the Annuity. In certain states, with an Annuity issued as a certificate under a group annuity contract, the "Owner" refers to the person or entity that has the rights and benefits designated to the "participant" in the certificate. Thus, an Owner who is a participant has rights that are comparable to those of the Owner of an individual annuity contract.

Permitted Sub-accounts: The Sub-accounts, as determined by us, to which you can allocate amounts if you elect an optional living benefit.

Portfolio: An underlying mutual fund in which a Sub-account of the Separate Account invests.  

Purchase Payment: A cash consideration in currency of the United States of America given to us in exchange for the rights, privileges, and benefits of the Annuity.

Separate Account: Refers to the Pruco Life of New Jersey Flexible Premium Variable Annuity Account, which holds assets associated with annuities issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. Separate Account assets held in support of the annuities are kept separate from all of our other assets and may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct.

Sub-account: A division of the Separate Account.

we, us, our: Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey.

you, your: The Owner(s) shown in the Annuity.

Important Information You Should Consider About the Annuity

Fees and Expenses

Charges for Early Withdrawals

For B Series: If you withdraw money from the Annuity within 7 years following your last Purchase Payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 7.0% of the Purchase Payment, and a surrender charge may be assessed up to 7 years after the last Purchase Payment under the Annuity. If you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal.
For L Series: If you withdraw money from the Annuity within 4 years following your last Purchase Payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 7.0% of the Purchase Payment, and a surrender charge may be assessed up to 4 years after the last Purchase Payment under the Annuity. If you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal.
For C Series: None.
For more information on early withdrawal charges, please refer to the "Fees, Charges and Deductions" section of  the statutory prospectus.

Transaction Charges

In addition to surrender charges, you may also be charged for other transactions. Charges may be applied to transfers (if more than 20 in an Annuity Year) or if state or local premium taxes are assessed.

Risks

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in the Annuity.
For more information on the risk of loss, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Not a Short-Term Investment

The Annuity is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Annuity is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Consequently, you should not use the Annuity as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Annuity, you should consider whether investing Purchase Payments in the Annuity is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
For more information on the short-term investment risks, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Annuity, each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Investment Options before making an investment decision.
For more information on the risks associated with Investment Options, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risks related to Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. Any obligations, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. More information about Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey is available upon request. Such requests can be made toll-free at 1-888-PRU-2888.
For more information on insurance company risks, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Restrictions

Investments

You may make twenty (20) free transfers between Investment Options each Annuity Year. After the twentieth transfer in each Annuity Year, we will charge $10 for each additional transfer.
If you select an optional benefit, your selection of Investment Options may be limited.
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey reserves the right to remove or substitute Portfolios as Investment Options.
We may impose limitations on an investment professional's or investment advisor's ability to request financial transactions on your behalf.
For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the "Fees, Charges and Deductions" section, "Appendix A," the "What are the Separate Accounts?" section and the "Financial Professional Permission to Forward Transaction Instructions" section of  the statutory prospectus.

Optional Benefits

You may be able to obtain an optional benefit, which may require additional charges. If you elect to purchase an optional benefit, we will deduct an additional charge on a quarterly basis from your Account Value allocated to the Sub-accounts. The charge for the optional benefit is deducted in addition to the insurance charge due to the increased insurance risk associated with the optional benefit. Any withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.
For more information on optional benefits under the Annuity, please refer to the "Benefits Available Under the Annuity" section of  the statutory prospectus.

Taxes

Tax Implications

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Annuity. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Annuity through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to a 10% additional tax for distributions taken prior to age 59½.
For more information on tax implications, please refer to the "Tax Considerations" section of the statutory prospectus.

Conflicts of Interest

Investment Professional Compensation

Investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Annuity to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Annuity over another investment. This compensation is paid in the form of commissions, based on your investments in the Annuity.
For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the "Who Distributes the Annuities?" section of the statutory prospectus.

Back to Table of Contents

Conflicts of Interest

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you an annuity in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract, rather than continue to own your existing contract. This Annuity is no longer sold.
For more information on exchanges, please refer to the "Who Distributes the Annuities?" section of the statutory prospectus.

The additional information below may be applicable to the Portfolios listed in the above table:
PGIM Fixed Income is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.
PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of The Prudential Series Fund (PSF).
PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of the Advanced Series Trust (AST). AST Investment Services, Inc. serves as co-manager, along with PGIM Investments LLC, to many of the Portfolios of AST.
PGIM Real Estate is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.
1. These Portfolios are also offered in other variable annuity contracts that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula to manage the guarantees offered in connection with optional benefits.  
Those other variable annuity contracts offer certain optional living benefits that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula (the "formula") to manage the guarantees offered in connection with those optional benefits. The formula monitors each contract Owner's Account Value daily and, if necessary, will systematically transfer amounts among investment options. The formula transfers funds between the Sub-accounts for those variable annuity contracts and an AST bond Portfolio Sub-account or a fixed account (those AST bond Portfolios or a fixed account may not be available in connection with the annuity contracts offered through this prospectus). You should be aware that the operation of the formula in those other variable annuity contracts may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the underlying Portfolios that are available with your contract. These asset flows could adversely impact the underlying Portfolios, including their risk profile, expenses and performance. Because transfers between the Sub-accounts and the AST bond Sub-account or a fixed account can be frequent and the amount transferred can vary from day to day, any of the underlying Portfolios could experience the following effects, among others:
(1) a Portfolio's investment performance could be adversely affected by requiring a subadvisor to purchase and sell securities at inopportune times or by otherwise limiting the subadvisor's ability to fully implement the Portfolio's investment strategy;
(2) the subadvisor may be required to hold a larger portion of assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold, which could adversely affect performance if the highly liquid securities underperform other securities (e.g., equities) that otherwise would have been held; and
(3)  a Portfolio may experience higher turnover and greater negative asset flows than it would have experienced without the formula, which could result in higher operating expense ratios and higher transaction costs for the Portfolio compared to other similar funds.
The efficient operation of the asset flows among Portfolios triggered by the formula depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended. For example, it is possible that illiquid markets or other market stress could cause delays in the transfer of cash from one Portfolio to another Portfolio, which in turn could adversely impact performance.
Before you allocate to the Sub-account with the AST Portfolios listed above, you should consider the potential effects on the Portfolios that are the result of the operation of the formula in the variable annuity contracts that are unrelated to your Variable Annuity. Please work with your financial professional to determine which Portfolios are appropriate for your needs.
2. The AST Investment Grade Bond variable Investment Option is not available for allocation of Purchase Payments or contract Owner transfers.
This information includes annual expenses that reflect temporary or other fee reductions or waivers. Please see the Portfolio prospectus for additional information.

If you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal.
For L Series: If you withdraw money from the Annuity within 4 years following your last Purchase Payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 7.0% of the Purchase Payment, and a surrender charge may be assessed up to 4 years after the last Purchase Payment under the Annuity.

Risks

Risk of Loss

You can lose money by investing in the Annuity.
For more information on the risk of loss, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Not a Short-Term Investment

The Annuity is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Annuity is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Consequently, you should not use the Annuity as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Annuity, you should consider whether investing Purchase Payments in the Annuity is consistent with the purpose for which the investment is being considered.
For more information on the short-term investment risks, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Annuity, each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Investment Options before making an investment decision.
For more information on the risks associated with Investment Options, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the Annuity is subject to the risks related to Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. Any obligations, guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. More information about Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey is available upon request. Such requests can be made toll-free at 1-888-PRU-2888.
For more information on insurance company risks, please refer to the "Principal Risks of Investing in the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Restrictions

Investments

You may make twenty (20) free transfers between Investment Options each Annuity Year. After the twentieth transfer in each Annuity Year, we will charge $10 for each additional transfer.
If you select an optional benefit, your selection of Investment Options may be limited.
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey reserves the right to remove or substitute Portfolios as Investment Options.
We may impose limitations on an investment professional's or investment advisor's ability to request financial transactions on your behalf.
For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the "Fees, Charges and Deductions" section, "Appendix A," the "What are the Separate Accounts?" "section and the "Financial Professional Permission to Forward Transaction Instructions" section of  the statutory prospectus.

Optional Benefits

You may be able to obtain an optional benefit, which may require additional charges. If you elect to purchase an optional benefit, we will deduct an additional charge on a quarterly basis from your Account Value allocated to the Sub-accounts. The charge for the optional benefit is deducted in addition to the insurance charge due to the increased insurance risk associated with the optional benefit. Any withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.
For more information on optional benefits under the Annuity, please refer to the "Benefits Available Under the Annuity" section of the statutory prospectus.

Taxes

Tax Implications

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Annuity. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Annuity through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax, and may be subject to a 10% additional tax for distributions taken prior to age 59½.
For more information on tax implications, please refer to the "Tax Considerations" section of the statutory prospectus.

Conflicts of Interest

Investment Professional Compensation

Investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Annuity to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Annuity over another investment. This compensation is paid in the form of commissions, based on your investments in the Annuity.
For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the "Who Distributes the Annuities?" section of the statutory prospectus.

Conflicts of Interest

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you an annuity in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the new contract, rather than continue to own your existing contract. This Annuity is no longer sold.
For more information on exchanges, please refer to the "Who Distributes the Annuities?" section of the statutory prospectus.

The additional information below may be applicable to the Portfolios listed in the above table:
PGIM Fixed Income is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.
PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of The Prudential Series Fund (PSF).
PGIM Investments LLC manages each of the Portfolios of the Advanced Series Trust (AST). AST Investment Services, Inc. serves as co-manager, along with PGIM Investments LLC, to many of the Portfolios of AST.
PGIM Real Estate is a business unit of PGIM, Inc.
1. These Portfolios are also offered in other variable annuity contracts that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula to manage the guarantees offered in connection with optional benefits.  
Those other variable annuity contracts offer certain optional living benefits that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula (the "formula") to manage the guarantees offered in connection with those optional benefits. The formula monitors each contract Owner's Account Value daily and, if necessary, will systematically transfer amounts among investment options. The formula transfers funds between the Sub-accounts for those variable annuity contracts and an AST bond Portfolio Sub-account or a fixed account (those AST bond Portfolios or a fixed account may not be available in connection with the annuity contracts offered through this prospectus). You should be aware that the operation of the formula in those other variable annuity contracts may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the underlying Portfolios that are available with your contract. These asset flows could adversely impact the underlying Portfolios, including their risk profile, expenses and performance. Because transfers between the Sub-accounts and the AST bond Sub-account or a fixed account can be frequent and the amount transferred can vary from day to day, any of the underlying Portfolios could experience the following effects, among others:
(1) a Portfolio's investment performance could be adversely affected by requiring a subadvisor to purchase and sell securities at inopportune times or by otherwise limiting the subadvisor's ability to fully implement the Portfolio's investment strategy;
(2) the subadvisor may be required to hold a larger portion of assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold, which could adversely affect performance if the highly liquid securities underperform other securities (e.g., equities) that otherwise would have been held; and
(3)  a Portfolio may experience higher turnover and greater negative asset flows than it would have experienced without the formula, which could result in higher operating expense ratios and higher transaction costs for the Portfolio compared to other similar funds.
The efficient operation of the asset flows among Portfolios triggered by the formula depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended. For example, it is possible that illiquid markets or other market stress could cause delays in the transfer of cash from one Portfolio to another Portfolio, which in turn could adversely impact performance.
Before you allocate to the Sub-account with the AST Portfolios listed above, you should consider the potential effects on the Portfolios that are the result of the operation of the formula in the variable annuity contracts that are unrelated to your Variable Annuity. Please work with your financial professional to determine which Portfolios are appropriate for your needs.
2. The AST Investment Grade Bond variable Investment Option is not available for allocation of Purchase Payments or contract Owner transfers.
This information includes annual expenses that reflect temporary or other fee reductions or waivers. Please see the Portfolio prospectus for additional information.
