I. Pending Fund Reorganization

The Board of Trustees of AST (the Board) recently approved the fund reorganization described below.

Target Fund	Acquiring Fund
AST Goldman Sachs Concentrated Growth Portfolio of Advanced Series Trust	AST Loomis Sayles Large-Cap Growth Portfolio of Advanced Series Trust

Pursuant to this reorganization, the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will be exchanged for shares of the Acquiring Fund, and shareholders of the Target Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund. No sales charges will be imposed in connection with the reorganization. The Acquiring Fund shares to be received by Target Fund shareholders in the reorganization will be equal in value to the Target Fund shares held by such shareholders immediately prior to the reorganization. The completion of the reorganization transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Target Fund and the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of an opinion of special tax counsel to the effect that the reorganization transaction will constitute a tax-free transaction under federal tax law.

It is anticipated that a proxy statement/prospectus relating to this transaction will be mailed to Target Fund shareholders during December, 2013 and that the special meeting of Target Fund shareholders will be held during January, 2014. Assuming receipt of the required shareholder approval and satisfaction of the relevant closing conditions for the reorganization transaction, it is expected that the reorganization transaction would be completed as of the close of business on February 7, 2014.
