KEY INFORMATION

Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract

FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges For Early Withdrawals	If you withdraw money from the Contract within the first 14 Contract Years, you may be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is set forth in your Contract and ranges from $3.83 to $17.04 per $1,000 of Basic Insurance Amount. The maximum charge on a withdrawal that reduces the Basic Insurance Amount by $100,000 is $1,704. The surrender charge applies to surrenders, lapses, withdrawals from Contracts with a Type A (fixed) Death Benefit, and reductions in Basic Insurance Amount. For more information on early withdrawal charges, please refer to the Surrender Charge subsection of this prospectus.
Transaction Charges	In addition to a surrender charge, you may also be charged for other transactions. Such charges include sales charges on premiums paid under the Contract, administrative charges (to cover local, state, and federal taxes), transfer fees, withdrawal fees, and fees for decreases in the Basic Insurance Amount. For more information on transaction charges, please refer to the FEE TABLE and CHARGES AND EXPENSES sections of this prospectus.
Ongoing Fees And Expenses	In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Contract is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including such fees and expenses as those covering the cost of insurance under the Contract and the cost of optional benefits available under the Contract. Such fees and expenses are set based on either a fixed rate or the characteristics of the insureds (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). Investors should view the data pages of their Contract for applicable rates. Contract Owners will also bear expenses associated with the Funds under the Contract, as shown in the following table:
Annual Fee	Minimum	Maximum
Investment options (Fund fees and expenses)	0.29%	1.16%
For more information on ongoing fees and expenses, please refer to the FEE TABLE section of this prospectus and APPENDIX A, which is part of this prospectus.
RISKS
Risk Of Loss	You can lose money by investing in the Contract. For more information please refer to the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of this prospectus.
Not a Short-Term Investment	The Contract is not a short-term investment and may not be appropriate if you need ready access to cash. The Contract is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Consequently, you should not use the Contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Contract, you should consider whether purchasing the Contract is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered. For more information please refer to the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of this prospectus.
Risks Associated With Investment Options	An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Funds available under the Contract, each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the Funds' prospectuses before making an investment decision. Fund prospectuses are available at www.Prudential.com/eProspectus or by calling 800-778-2255. For more information on the Funds, please refer to the The Funds subsection of this prospectus.
Insurance Company Risks	An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to Pruco Life. Any obligations (including under the Fixed Rate Option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of Pruco Life. More information about Pruco Life, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request and at www.Investor.Prudential.com/Ratings. For more information please refer to the GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS OF PRUCO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, THE REGISTRANT, AND THE FUNDS section of this prospectus.
Contract Lapse	Death Benefits will not be paid if the Contract has lapsed. The Contract will lapse if it is in default unless sufficient premium payments are made or it remains in force under the Limited No-Lapse Guarantee or Rider To Provide Lapse Protection. The Contract is in default if the Contract Fund, less any applicable surrender charge and less any Contract Debt, is zero or less. The Contract will also be in default if, at any time, the Contract Debt equals or exceeds the Contract Fund, less any applicable surrender charge, unless it remains in force under the Overloan Protection Rider (if applicable). Poor investment performance, insufficient premium payments, withdrawals, and loans are some of the factors that could cause your Contract to lapse. A Contract that lapses may be reinstated within five years from the date of default upon the completion of certain conditions, including the submission of certain payments sufficient to bring the Contract up to date, plus a premium to cover all charges and deductions for three months from the date of reinstatement. For more information please refer to the LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENTsection of this prospectus.

GLOSSARYTABLE OF CONTENTS

RESTRICTIONS
Investments	You may, up to 12 times each Contract Year, transfer amounts among the Variable Investment Options. Additional transfers may be made only with our consent. Generally, only one transfer from the Fixed Rate Option will be permitted during each Contract Year. The maximum amount per Contract Year you may transfer out of the Fixed Rate Option each year is the greatest of: (a) 25% of the amount in the Fixed Rate Option; (b) $5,000; and (c) the amount transferred from the Fixed Rate Option to the Variable Investment Options in the prior Contract Year (if applicable). Transfers may generally be made by mail, phone, fax or website. Contracts that are jointly owned or assigned generally cannot conduct transfers by phone, fax or website. We reserve the right to remove or substitute Variable Investment Options. For more information on investment and transfer restrictions, please refer to the Transfers And Restrictions On Transfers subsection of this prospectus and APPENDIX A.
Optional Benefits	As a Contract Owner, you may be able to obtain extra fixed benefits, which may require additional charges. These optional insurance benefits are described in what is known as a "rider" to the Contract. Riders are generally only available at Contract issuance, unless noted otherwise. Some riders may depend on the performance of the Contract Fund. Rider benefits will no longer be available if the Contract lapses and most rider benefits will no longer be available if you choose to keep the Contract in force under the Overloan Protection Rider. Some riders are not available in conjunction with other riders and other restrictions may apply. Investment options will be restricted if certain riders are exercised. Some riders described in this prospectus may be subject to state variations or may not be available in all states. Please refer to APPENDIX B, which is part of this prospectus, for state availability and a description of material variations to riders and features that differ from the description contained in the prospectus. For more information on optional benefits under the Contract, please refer to the RIDERS section of this 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 Contract. There is no additional tax benefit if you purchase the Contract through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals may be subject to ordinary income tax and a 10% additional tax. For more information on tax implications relating to Contract investments, please refer to the TAXES section of this prospectus.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation	Investment professionals receive compensation for selling the Contract to investors and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment. Compensation (commissions, overrides, and any expense reimbursement allowance) is paid to broker-dealers that are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or entities that are exempt from such registration ("firms"). The individual representative will receive all or a portion of the compensation, depending on the practice of the firm. For more information on investment professional compensation, please refer to the DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION section and the Commissions Paid To Broker-Dealers subsection of this prospectus.
Exchanges	Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your existing life insurance contract if you determine after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable to purchase the contract, rather than continue to own your existing contract. For more information on exchanges, please refer to the paragraph titled Replacement Of a Contract in the PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT section of this prospectus.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Description Of Pruco Life Insurance Company

Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life", "us", "we", or "our") is a stock life insurance company founded on December 23, 1971, under the laws of the state of Arizona. It is licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in the District of Columbia, Guam, and in all states except New York.

Control Of Pruco Life Insurance Company

Pruco Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), a stock life insurance company founded on October 13, 1875, under the laws of the state of New Jersey. Prudential is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. ("Prudential Financial"), a New Jersey insurance holding company for financial services businesses offering a wide range of insurance, investment management, and other financial products and services. The principal executive office of each of Prudential and Prudential Financial is Prudential Plaza, 751 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102.

Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey ("Pruco Life of New Jersey") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pruco Life. Pruco Life and Pruco Life of New Jersey's principal executive office is 213 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102.

As Pruco Life's ultimate parent, Prudential Financial exercises significant influence over the operations and capital structure of Pruco Life and Prudential. However, neither Prudential Financial, Prudential, nor any other related company has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that Pruco Life may owe under the Contract.

State Regulation

Pruco Life is subject to regulation and supervision by the Department of Insurance of the state of Arizona, which periodically examines its operations and financial condition. It is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of all jurisdictions in which it is authorized to do business.

Pruco Life is required to submit annual statements of its operations, including financial statements, to the insurance departments of the various jurisdictions in which it does business to determine solvency and compliance with local insurance laws and regulations.

In addition to the annual statements referred to above, Pruco Life is required to file with Arizona and other jurisdictions, a separate statement with respect to the operations of all of its variable contract accounts, in a form promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Records

We maintain all records and accounts relating to the Account at our principal executive office. As presently required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, reports containing such information as may be required under the Act or by any other applicable law or regulation will be sent to you semi-annually at your last address known to us.

Services And Third Party Administration Agreements

Pruco Life and Prudential have entered into a Service Agreement pursuant to which Prudential furnishes to Pruco Life various services, including preparation, maintenance, and filing of accounts, books, records, and other documents required under federal or state law, and various other accounting, administrative, and legal services, which are customarily performed by the officers and employees of Prudential. Pruco Life reimburses Prudential for its costs in providing such services. Under this Agreement, Pruco Life has reimbursed Prudential $167,883,280 in 2023, $166,342,046 in 2022, and $150,352,890 in 2021, of which the life business accounted for $62,045,805, $57,245,843, and $75,479,078, respectively.

Our individual life reinsurance treaties covering PruLife® SVUL Protector®Contracts provide for the reinsurance of a portion of the related mortality risk on a yearly renewable term basis. Pruco Life or its affiliates retain any such mortality risk that is not ceded under these treaties.

On May 10, 2023, Fidelity Information Services ("FIS") became a billing and payment services provider for Prudential, Pruco Life, and Pruco Life of New Jersey. FIS received $1,138,278 in 2023 from Prudential for services rendered. The principal business address of FIS is 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204.

Under a previous agreement TransCentra, Inc. ("TransCentra") was a billing and payment services provider for Prudential, Pruco Life, and Pruco Life of New Jersey. TransCentra received $345,904 in 2023, $916,094 in 2022, and $983,150 in 2021 from Prudential for services rendered. TransCentra's principal business address is 4855 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, Suite 245, Norcross, GA 30092. TransCentra no longer provides the remittance processing services for Prudential, Pruco Life, and Pruco Life of New Jersey, or any of its affiliates.

Cyber Security And Business Continuity Risks

With the increasing use of technology and computer systems in general and, in particular, the internet to conduct necessary business functions, we are susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. These risks, which are often collectively referred to as "cyber security" risks, may include deliberate or malicious attacks, as well as unintentional events and occurrences. These risks are heightened by our offering of products with certain features, including those with automatic asset transfer or re-allocation strategies, and by our employment of complex investment, trading and hedging programs. Cyber security is generally

1

defined as the technology, operations and related protocol surrounding and protecting a user's computer hardware, network, systems and applications and the data transmitted and stored therewith. These measures ensure the reliability of a user's systems, as well as the security, availability, integrity, and confidentiality of data assets.

Deliberate cyber-attacks can include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access (including physical break-ins and attempts to fraudulently induce employees, customers or other users of these systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access) to computer systems in order to misappropriate and/or disclose sensitive or confidential information; deleting, corrupting or modifying data; and causing operational disruptions. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (in order to prevent access to computer networks). In addition to deliberate breaches engineered by external actors, cyber security risks can also result from the conduct of malicious, exploited or careless insiders, whose actions may result in the destruction, release or disclosure of confidential or proprietary information stored on an organization's systems.

The Company is also subject to risks related to disasters and other events, such as storms, earthquakes, fires, outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19), utility failures, terrorist acts, political and social developments, and military and governmental actions. These risks are often collectively referred to as "business continuity" risks. These events could adversely affect the Company and our ability to conduct business and process transactions. Although the Company has business continuity plans, it is possible that the plans may not operate as intended or required and that the Company may not be able to provide required services, process transactions, deliver documents or calculate values. It is also possible that service levels may decline as a result of such events.

Cyber security events, disasters, and similar events, whether deliberate or unintentional, that could impact us and our Contract Owners could arise not only in connection with our own administration of the Contract, but also with entities operating the Contract's underlying funds and with third-party service providers to us. Cyber security and other events affecting any of the entities involved with the offering and administration of the Contract may cause significant disruptions in the business operations related to the Contract. Potential impacts may include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under the Contract, your inability to conduct transactions under the Contract and/or with respect to an underlying fund, an inability to calculate unit values with respect to the Contract and/or the net asset value ("NAV") with respect to an underlying fund, and disclosures of your personal or confidential account information.

In addition to direct impacts to you, cyber security and other events described above may result in adverse impacts to us, including regulatory inquiries, regulatory proceedings, regulatory and/or legal and litigation costs, and reputational damage. Costs incurred by us may include reimbursement and other expenses, including the costs of litigation and litigation settlements and additional compliance costs. Considerable expenses also may be incurred by us in enhancing and upgrading computer systems and systems security following a cyber security failure or responding to a disaster or similar event.

The rapid proliferation of technologies, as well as the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, hostile foreign governments, and others continue to pose new and significant cyber security threats. In addition, the global spread of COVID-19 has caused the Company and its service providers to implement business continuity plans, including widespread use of work-from-home arrangements. Although we, our service providers, and the underlying funds offered under the Contract may have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified or can be protected against. Furthermore, we cannot control or assure the efficacy of the cyber security and business continuity plans and systems implemented by third-party service providers, the underlying funds, and the issuers in which the underlying funds invest.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OPERATION OF CONTRACTS

Legal Considerations Relating To Sex-Distinct Premiums And Benefits

The Contract generally employs mortality tables that distinguish between males and females. Thus, premiums and benefits differ under Contracts issued on males and females of the same age. However, in those states that have adopted regulations prohibiting sex-distinct insurance rates, premiums and cost of insurance charges will be based on male rates, whether the insureds are male or female. In addition, employers and employee organizations considering purchase of a Contract should consult their legal advisers to determine whether purchase of a Contract based on sex-distinct actuarial tables is consistent with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or other applicable law.

Reports To Contract Owners

Once each year, we will send you a statement that provides certain information pertinent to your Contract. This statement will detail values, transactions made, and specific Contract data that apply only to your particular Contract.

We also make available annual and semi-annual reports of the Funds showing the financial condition of the Funds and the investments held in each Fund. The most recent annual and semi-annual reports are available at www.Prudential.com/eProspectus or by calling 800-778-2255.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGES

Underwriting Procedures

When you express interest in obtaining insurance from us, you may apply for coverage in one of two ways, via a paper application or through our worksheet process. When using the paper application, a registered representative completes a full application and submits it to our underwriting unit to commence the underwriting process. A registered representative may be an agent/broker

2

who is a representative of Pruco Securities, a broker-dealer affiliate of Prudential, or in some cases, a broker-dealer not directly affiliated with Prudential.

When using the worksheet process, a registered representative typically collects enough applicant information to start the underwriting process. The representative will submit the information to Prudential to begin processing, which includes contacting the proposed insured to provide additional information online or over the phone.

Regardless of which of the two underwriting processes is followed, once we receive the necessary information, which may include doctors' statements, medical examinations from physicians or paramedical vendors, test results, and other information, we will make a decision regarding our willingness to accept the risk, and the price at which we will accept the risk. We will issue the Contract when the risk has been accepted and priced.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CONTRACTS IN DEFAULT

When your Contract is in default, no part of your Contract Fund is available to you. Consequently, you are not able to take any loans, withdrawals, or surrenders, make any transfers among the investment options, or change the way in which subsequent premiums are allocated.

DISTRIBUTION AND COMPENSATION

In an effort to promote the sale of our variable products (which may include the placement of our contracts on a preferred or recommended company or product list and/or access to a broker-dealer's registered representatives), we or Pruco Securities may enter into compensation arrangements with certain broker-dealer firms authorized by Pruco Securities to sell contracts, or branches of such firms, with respect to certain or all registered representatives of such firms under which such firms may receive separate compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, training of sales personnel, marketing and / or administrative and / or other services they provide to us or our affiliates.

To the extent permitted by applicable rules, laws, and regulations, Pruco Securities may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation. These arrangements may not be offered to all firms, and the terms of such arrangements may differ between firms. You should note that firms and individual registered representatives and branch managers within some firms participating in one of these compensation arrangements might receive greater compensation for selling the Contract than for selling a different contract that is not eligible for these compensation arrangements.

Pruco Life makes these promotional payments directly to or in sponsorship of the firm (or its affiliated broker/dealers). Examples of arrangements under which such payments may be made currently include, but are not limited to, sponsorships, conferences (national, regional and top producer), speaker fees, promotional items and reimbursements to firms for marketing activities or services paid by the firms and/or their individual representatives. The amount of these payments varies widely because some payments may encompass only a single event, such as a conference, and others have a much broader scope.

A list below provides the names of the firms (or their affiliated broker-dealers) that we are aware of (as of December 31, 2023) that received payment or accrued a payment amount with respect to variable product business during 2023. The least amount of cash compensation paid or accrued and the greatest amount paid or accrued during 2023 were $1.79 and $37,370,799.77, respectively.

Item 32. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or the Registrant

Pruco Life Insurance Company, a life insurance company organized under the laws of Arizona, is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of The Prudential Insurance Company of America and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc.

The subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. are listed under Exhibit 21.1 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Prudential Financial, Inc., Registration No. 001-16707, the text of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 33. Indemnification

The Registrant, in connection with certain affiliates, maintains various insurance coverages under which the underwriter and certain affiliated persons may be insured against liability, which may be incurred in such capacity, subject to the terms, conditions, and exclusions of the insurance policies.

Arizona, being the state of organization of Pruco Life Insurance Company ("Pruco Life"), permits entities organized under its jurisdiction to indemnify directors and officers with certain limitations. The relevant provisions of Arizona law permitting indemnification can be found in Section 10-850 et seq. of the Arizona Statutes Annotated. The text of Pruco Life's By-law, Article VIII, which relates to indemnification of officers and directors, was filed on April 12, 2011, as exhibit Item 26.(f)(ii) to Form N-6, Registration No. 333-112808, on behalf of the Pruco Life Variable Universal Account.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 34. Principal Underwriters
