Strategy and Performance Overview

How did the Fund perform?

The initial public offering of the Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund took place in December 2012, and shares of the Fund’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “GHY” on December 21, 2012. The Fund’s initial offering price was $20.00 per share, but its initial net asset value (NAV) per share was reduced by a 4.5% sales load ($0.90 per share) and offering expenses borne by the Fund ($0.04 per share).

• During the reporting period from the December 26, 2012 inception date through January 31, 2013, the Fund’s NAV per share declined by $0.17 from $19.10 to $18.93. In terms of percentage decrease, the Fund’s NAV declined 0.89% for the period, underperforming the Barclays Global Ba/B 1-5 Year Issuer Constrained Index (1% issuer capped) (the Index) which returned 1.66%. The Fund also underperformed the 1.27% gain of the Lipper Closed End Global Income Average. All returns of the Fund reflect reinvestment of dividends.

• The Fund’s share price increased slightly from $20.00 to $20.04 for the period. The share price was partially supported by the Fund’s underwriters who were granted an option to purchase additional shares within the first 45 days after its initial public offering. (By the time the option expired on February 1, 2013, the underwriters exercised 3,902,005 shares of their total allotted option.)

What were conditions like in the short-term high yield corporate bond market?

High yield corporate bonds were strong out of the gate as a partial resolution of the fiscal cliff and better global economic sentiment fueled sizable inflows into high yield bonds.

• January was well on its way to exceeding the December 2012 return, but a disappointing GDP number early in the final week of the month weighed on the market and slightly tempered the enthusiasm. Investors were forced to continue to dip down in credit quality to achieve higher yields. Subsequently, bonds with lower CCC ratings outperformed in January.

• Average high yield bond prices rose in January, as yields hovered above the all time low of 5.71%, (as bond prices move inversely to yields). As “spreads” (the amount of extra yield that high yield bonds provide over similar-duration U.S. Treasury securities) tightened, the high yield market generated considerable returns versus Treasuries. Sector performance was positive across the board in January. Higher risk sectors such as gaming and technology, which hold a large component of lower-rated high yield CCC securities, posted the strongest returns. The weakest sectors for the month were the more defensive sectors, such as cable and lodging, which hold a larger number of higher-quality high yield BB-rated debt securities.

• The credit health of the high yield universe has improved dramatically since the financial crisis of 2008. Companies have strengthened their balance sheets and cash flows by taking advantage of a strong market to refinance their debt, pushing out their debt maturities and reducing interest expenses.

• Firms have also been focused on rationalizing their operations and capital spending, given the very low-growth environment. Also, corporate profit margins are near historic peaks, which helped keep the high yield bond default rate near 2.0%, well below its historical average.

What strategies detracted most from the Fund’s performance?

• As the Fund was recently launched, it focused on building its portfolio holdings, emphasizing higher-quality high yield debt securities in the BB and B categories.

• The primary driver of the Fund’s underperformance was start-up costs incurred while building its portfolio holdings. Specifically, wide bid/ask spreads made it costly to build a high yield portfolio over a short time period. Bid/ask spreads indicate the difference between the highest price a buyer will pay against the lowest price that a seller will sell.

• While building the Fund’s portfolio took less time than anticipated, the Fund held cash levels that were well above what it expects to hold in the future, weighing on performance, as returns on cash are minimal compared with anticipated returns on specific debt securities held by the Fund.

What strategies proved most beneficial to the Fund’s performance?

• The Fund benefited from having overweight exposures to sectors that have outperformed the broader market.

• Compared to the Index, the Fund had an underweight exposure to the metals and mining sector that contributed the most to its relative return. This strategy worked well as the industry continued to suffer from declining prices, along with most other commodities.

How did the Fund’s leverage strategy affect its performance?

The Fund began investing the proceeds from its initial public offering. The Fund fully invested such proceeds by the last week in January and began to gradually implement leverage shortly thereafter. As of January 31, 2013, the Fund had borrowed approximately $65 million and was approximately 8.5% levered.

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. 5

Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)

Since the Fund’s commencement of operations through January 31, 2013, the average amount of leverage utilized by the Fund was approximately 0.7%. Although the Fund earned incremental yield on the investments made with the borrowed funds during this time, such amounts had a non-material impact on the Fund’s performance since inception.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a diversified, closed-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“1940 Act”). The Fund was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on July 23, 2012. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income.

Note 1. 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 Directors (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 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

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. 29

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

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 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 internal pricing models with inputs from deal terms, tranche level attributes, yield

30 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

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.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Fund may invest in illiquid securities. Iliquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, cannot be sold within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the investment. Therefore, the Fund may find it difficult to sell illiquid securities at the time considered most advantageous by its Subadviser and may incur expenses that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. 31

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

legal restrictions on resale to the general public may be traded among qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These Rule 144A securities, as well as commercial paper that is sold in private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, may be deemed liquid by the Fund’s Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Fund. However, the liquidity of the Fund’s investments in Rule 144A securities could be impaired if trading does not develop or declines.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(i) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities—at the current rates of exchange.

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Fund are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities sold during the period. Accordingly, realized foreign currency gains or losses are included in the reported net realized gains or losses on investment transactions.

Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from the holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains or losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currencies.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin as a result of, among other

32 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

factors, the possibility of political and economic instability, or the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets.

Forward Currency Contracts: A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate between two parties. The Fund enters into forward currency contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain or loss is included in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currencies. Gain or loss is realized on the settlement date of the contract equal to the difference between the settlement value of the original and negotiated forward contracts. This gain or loss, if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Forward currency contracts involve risks from currency exchange rate and credit risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty at the end of the contract’s life. A master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty permits the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

Loan Participations: The Fund may invest in loan participations. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower and any other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the senior loan in which it has purchased the loan participation.

Cash Flow Information: The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income, which are paid in cash or are reinvested at the discretion of stockholders. These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets and additional information on cash receipts and cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Accounting practices that do not affect reporting activities on a cash basis include carrying investments at value, accruing income on PIK (payment-in-kind) securities and accreting discounts and amortizing premiums on debt obligations.

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. 33

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited) continued

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 the accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management, that may differ from actual.

Dividends and Distributions: The Fund intends to make a level dividend distribution each month to the holders of Common Stock. The level dividend rate may be modified by the Board from time to time, and will be based upon the past and projected performance and expenses of the Fund. The Fund intends to also make a distribution during or with respect to each calendar year (which may be combined with a regular monthly distribution), which will generally include any net investment income and net realized capital gain for the year not otherwise distributed.

PI has received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission granting the Fund an exemption from Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder to permit certain closed-end funds managed by PI and certain closed-end funds managed by PI to include realized long-term capital gains as a part of their respective regular distributions to the holders of Common Stock more frequently than would otherwise be permitted by the 1940 Act (generally once per taxable year). The Fund intends to rely on this exemptive order. The Board may, at the request of PI, adopt a managed distribution policy.

Dividends and distributions to stockholders, 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. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gains are reclassified amongst undistributed net investment income, accumulated net realized gain or loss and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.

Organization and Offering Costs: PI has agreed to pay all of the Fund’s organizational costs and all of the Fund’s offering costs (other than sales load) that exceed $0.04 per share of common stock. Organizational costs are expensed by the Fund as incurred. PI will reimburse the Fund for all organizational expenses.

34 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

Federal Income Taxes: 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 its stockholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

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 amounts.

Note 2. Agreements

The Fund has a management agreement with PI. Pursuant to this agreement, PI has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the subadviser’s performance of such services. PI has entered into a subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“PIM”). The subadvisory agreement provides that PIM will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the Fund. In connection therewith, PIM is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PI pays for the services of PIM, the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other cost and expenses.

The management fee paid to PI is computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .85% of the average daily value of the Fund’s investable assets. “Investable assets” refers to the net assets attributable to the outstanding Common Stock of the Fund plus the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock issued by the Fund, the principal amount of any borrowings and the principal on any debt securities issued by the Fund.

PI and PIM are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”).

Note 3. Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund invests in the Prudential Core Taxable Money Market Fund (the “Core Fund”), a portfolio of the Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under 1940 Act, and managed by PI. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as affiliated dividend income.

Note 4. Fund Securities

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, for the period ended January 31, 2013, aggregated $879,279,510 and $5,631,250, respectively.

Note 5. Distributions and Tax Information

The United States federal income tax basis of the Fund’s investments and the net unrealized depreciation as of January 31, 2013 were as follows:

Tax Basis	Appreciation	Depreciation	Net Unrealized Depreciation
$878,051,732	$2,855,863	$(6,439,068)	$(3,583,205)

The difference between book basis and tax basis is primarily attributable to differences in the treatment of premium amortization for book and tax purposes.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements for the current reporting period.

Note 6. Capital

There are 1 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized. Prior to commencement of operations on December 26, 2012, the Fund issued 5,240 shares of common stock to Prudential at an aggregate purchase price of $100,084. As of January 31, 2013, Prudential owned 5,240 shares of the Fund.

During the period ended January 31, 2013, the Fund issued 37,000,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering. These shares were all issued at $20.00 per share before a sales load of $0.90 per share. Offering costs of $1,480,000 (representing $0.04 per share) were offset against the proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital in excess of par.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Fund currently is a party to a committed credit facility (the credit facility) with a bank. The credit facility provides for a maximum commitment of approximately

36 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

$350 million. Interest on any borrowings under the credit facility is payable at the negotiated rates. The Fund’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by the assets of the Fund segregated for the purpose of securing the amount borrowed. The purpose of the credit facility is to provide the Fund with portfolio leverage and meet its general cash flow requirements.

During the period ended January 31, 2013, the Fund utilized the credit facility and had an average daily outstanding loan balance of $45,000,000 during the 4 day period that the facility was utilized, at an average interest rate of 0.95%. The maximum amount of loan outstanding during the period was $65,000,000. There was a balance of $65,000,000 outstanding at January 31, 2013.

Note 8. New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 9. Subsequent Events

Dividends and Distributions: On January 28, 2013 the Fund declared monthly dividends of $0.125 per share payable on February 28, 2013, March 28, 2013, April 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively, to shareholders of record on February 21, 2013, March 20, 2013, April 19, 2013 and May 22, 2013, respectively. The ex-dividend dates were February 19, 2013, March 18, 2013, April 17, 2013, and May 20, 2013, respectively.

Fund Share Transaction: On February 1, 2013, an additional 3,902,005 shares were issued in connection with the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option. An amount of $74,528,296 (net of sales load of $3,511,805) was received pursuant to this allotment. An amount of $156,080 ($0.04 per share of the common stock) will be used to offset any offering costs as described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Unless a holder of Common Stock elects to receive cash by contacting Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Plan Administrator”), all dividends declared on Common Stock will be automatically reinvested by the Plan Administrator pursuant to the Fund’s Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”), in additional Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock who elect not to participate in the Plan will receive all dividends and other distributions (together, a “Dividend”) in cash paid by check mailed directly to the stockholder of record (or, if the Common Stock is held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee) by the Plan Administrator as dividend disbursing agent. Participation in the Plan is completely voluntary and may be terminated or resumed at any time without penalty by notice if received and processed by the Plan Administrator prior to the Dividend record date; otherwise such termination or resumption will be effective with respect to any subsequently declared Dividend. Such notice will be effective with respect to a particular Dividend. Some brokers may automatically elect to receive cash on behalf of the holders of Common Stock and may re-invest that cash in additional Common Stock.

The Plan Administrator will open an account for each common stockholder under the Plan in the same name in which such common stockholder’s Common Stock is registered. Whenever the Fund declares a Dividend payable in cash, non-participants in the Plan will receive cash and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Stock. The Common Stock will be acquired by the Plan Administrator for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized Common Stock from the Fund (“Newly Issued Common Stock”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding Common Stock on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the closing market price of the Common Stock plus per share fees (as defined below) is equal to or greater than the NAV per share of Common Stock (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Stock on behalf of the participants. The number of Newly Issued Common Stock to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the Dividend by the NAV per share of Common Stock on the payment date, provided that, if the NAV per share of Common Stock is less than or equal to 95% of the closing market price per share of Common Stock on the payment date, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the closing market price per Common Stock on the payment date. If, on the payment date for any Dividend, the NAV per share of Common Stock is greater than the closing market value per share of Common Stock plus per share fees (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the Plan Administrator will invest the Dividend amount in shares of

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc. 39

Other Information

(Unaudited) continued

Common Stock acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases. “Per share fees” include any applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Administrator is required to pay.

In the event of a market discount on the payment date for any Dividend, the Plan Administrator will have until the last business day before the next date on which the Common Stock trades on an “ex-dividend” basis or 30 days after the payment date for such Dividend, whichever is sooner (the “Last Purchase Date”), to invest the Dividend amount in Common Stock acquired in Open-Market Purchases on behalf of participants. If, before the Plan Administrator has completed its Open-Market Purchases, the market price per share of Common Stock exceeds the NAV per share of Common Stock, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Administrator for Common Stock may exceed the NAV per share of the Common Stock, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares of Common Stock than if the Dividend had been paid in Newly Issued Common Stock on the Dividend payment date. Because of the foregoing difficulty with respect to Open-Market Purchases, the Plan provides that if the Plan Administrator is unable to invest the full Dividend amount in Open-Market Purchases during the purchase period or if the market discount shifts to a market premium during the purchase period, the Plan Administrator may cease making Open-Market Purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the Dividend amount in Newly Issued Common Stock at the NAV per share of Common Stock at the close of business on the Last Purchase Date, provided that, if the NAV is less than or equal to 95% of the then current market price per share of Common Stock, the dollar amount of the Dividend will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date for purposes of determining the number of shares issuable under the Plan.

The Plan Administrator maintains all stockholder accounts in the Plan and furnishes written confirmation of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by stockholders for tax records. Common Stock in the account of each Plan participant will be held by the Plan Administrator on behalf of the Plan participant, and each stockholder proxy will include those shares purchased or received pursuant to the Plan. The Plan Administrator will forward all proxy solicitation materials to participants and vote proxies for shares held under the Plan in accordance with the instructions of the participants.

In the case of the holders of Common Stock such as banks, brokers or nominees that hold shares of Common Stock for others who are the beneficial owners, the Plan Administrator will administer the Plan on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock certified from time to time by the record stockholder’s name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.

40 Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

The Plan Administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the plan will be paid for by the Fund. If a participant elects by written, Internet or telephonic notice to the Plan Administrator to have the Plan Administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the Plan Administrator in the participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the participant, the Plan Administrator is authorized to deduct a $15.00 transaction fee plus a $0.12 per share fee. If a participant elects to sell his or her shares of Common Stock, the Plan Administrator will process all sale instructions received no later than five business days after the date on which the order is received by the Plan Administrator, assuming the relevant markets are open and sufficient market liquidity exists (and except where deferral is required under applicable federal or state laws or regulations). Such sale will be made through the Plan Administrator’s broker on the relevant market and the sale price will not be determined until such time as the broker completes the sale. In every case the price to the participant shall be the weighted average sale price obtained by the Plan Administrator’s broker net of fees for each aggregate order placed by the participant and executed by the broker. To maximize cost savings, the Plan Administrator will seek to sell shares in round lot transactions. For this purpose the Plan Administrator may combine a participant’s shares with those of other selling participants.

There will be no brokerage charges with respect to shares of Common Stock issued directly by the Fund. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred in connection with Open-Market Purchases. Each participant will be charged a per share fee (currently $0.05 per share) on all Open-Market Purchases. The automatic reinvestment of Dividends will not relieve participants of any federal, state or local income tax that may be payable (or required to be withheld) on such Dividends. See “Tax Matters.” Participants that request a sale of Common Stock through the Plan Administrator are subject to brokerage commissions.

Each participant may terminate the participant’s account under the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator via the Plan Administrator’s website at www.computershare.com/investor, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the participant’s Statement and sending it to the Plan Administrator or by calling the Plan Administrator. Such termination will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the Plan Administrator prior to any dividend or distribution record date. Upon any withdrawal or termination, the Plan Administrator will cause to be delivered to each terminating participant a statement of holdings for the appropriate number of the Fund’s whole book-entry shares of Common Stock and a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value of the Fund’s shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the date the termination is effective less any applicable fees. In the event a participant’s notice of

termination is on or after a record date (but before payment date) for an account whose dividends are reinvested, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may either distribute such dividends in cash or reinvest them in shares of Common Stock on behalf of the terminating participant. In the event reinvestment is made, the Plan Administrator will process the termination as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days after the reinvestment is completed. The Plan may be terminated by the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan. There is no direct service charge to participants with regard to purchases in the Plan; however, the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants.

All correspondence or questions concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Administrator, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078 or by calling (toll free) 800-451-6788.

Board Consideration of Management Agreement

and Subadvisory Agreement

Initial Approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund considered the proposed management agreement with Prudential Investments LLC (the “Manager”) and the proposed subadvisory agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (the “Subadviser”), with respect to the Fund prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations. The Board, including all of the Independent Directors, met on September 14, 2012 (the “Meeting”) and approved the agreements for an initial two year period, after concluding that approval of the agreements was in the best interests of the Fund.

In advance of the Meeting, 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 considerations.

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 to be provided to the Fund by the Manager and the Subadviser; any relevant comparable performance and the Subadviser’s qualifications and track record in serving other affiliated funds that utilize a high yield investment strategy; and the fees proposed to be paid by the Fund to the Manager and by the Manager to the Subadviser under the agreements. In connection with its deliberations, the Board considered information provided by the Manager and the Subadviser at or in advance of the Meeting. The Board also considered information provided by the Manager and the Subadviser with respect to other funds managed by the Manager and the Subadviser, as applicable. 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.

The Directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Manager, which will serve as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to a management agreement, and between the Manager and the Subadviser, which will serve as the Fund’s Subadviser pursuant to the terms of a subadvisory agreement, are appropriate in light of the services to be performed and the fees to be charged under the agreements 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 agreements are separately discussed below.

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc.

Board Consideration of Management Agreement

and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services

With respect to the Manager, the Board noted that it had received and considered information about the Manager at the Meeting, including information relating to the approval of the management agreement for the other Prudential Closed End Fund and the renewal of the management agreements between the Manager and the Retail Funds, as well as at other regular meetings throughout the year of the Prudential Retail and Closed End Funds, regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Manager. The Board considered the services to be provided by the Manager, including but not limited to the oversight of the Subadviser, as well as the provision of fund recordkeeping, compliance and other services to the Fund. With respect to the Manager’s oversight of the Subadviser, the Board noted that the Manager’s Strategic Investment Research Group, which is a business unit of the Manager, is responsible for monitoring and reporting to the Manager’s senior management on the performance and operations of the Subadviser. The Board also noted that the Manager pays the salaries of all of the officers of the Fund and Directors of the Fund who are affiliated persons of the Manager or Subadviser. The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Manager’s senior management responsible for the oversight of the Fund and the Subadviser, and was also provided with information pertaining to the Manager’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information. The Board further noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer as to the Manager. The Board noted that it had concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Manager to the other Prudential Closed End and Retail Funds and determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Manager under the management agreement for the Fund would be similar in nature to those provided under the other management agreements.

With respect to the Subadviser, the Board noted that it had received and considered information about the Subadviser at the Meeting, including information relating to the approval of the subadvisory agreement for the other Prudential Closed End Fund and the renewal of the subadvisory agreements between the Manager and the Subadviser with respect to other Prudential Retail Funds, as well as at other regular meetings throughout the year, regarding the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Subadviser. The Board considered, among other things, the qualifications, background and experience of the Subadviser’s portfolio managers who will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio, as well as information on the Subadviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations and other relevant information. The Board further noted that it received favorable compliance reports from the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer as

Visit our website at www.prudentialfunds.com

to the Subadviser. The Board noted that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Subadviser with respect to the other Prudential Closed End Fund and Retail Funds served by the Subadviser and determined that it was reasonable to conclude that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Subadviser under the subadvisory agreement for the Fund would be similar in nature to those provided under the other subadvisory agreements. The Board noted that the Subadviser is affiliated with the Manager.

Performance

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Fund has not yet been determined, no investment performance for the Fund existed for Board review. The Fund’s strategy is a new strategy for the Subadviser and the Subadviser does not believe that any of the high yield strategies that it has managed or currently manages is comparable to the Fund because the Fund, under normal market conditions, will invest in global high yield instruments and seek to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration of three years or less and a weighted average maturity of five years or less. The Board noted that the Fund’s strategy is most similar to another closed end fund that was recently launched by the Manager and Subadviser, however, such fund recently commenced operations on April 30, 2012 and does not have a substantial track record. Although none of the other high yield strategies that are managed by the Subadviser are directly comparable to the Fund, the Board did consider the Subadviser’s track record in managing an open end fund that invests primarily in high yield securities for comparative purposes only. The Manager will provide information relating to performance to the Board in connection with subsequent reviews of the management agreement and subadvisory agreement.

Fee Rates

The Board considered the proposed management fees of 0.85% of the average daily value of the Fund’s investable assets to be paid by the Fund to the Manager and the proposed subadvisory fees of 0.425% of the Fund’s investable assets to be paid by the Manager to the Subadviser. The Board also considered that for purposes of calculating the proposed management and subadvisory fees, investable assets of the Fund means the net assets attributable to the outstanding Common Stock of the Fund plus the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock issued by the Fund, the principal amount of any borrowings and the principal on any debt securities issued by the Fund.

The Board considered information provided by the Manager comparing the Fund’s proposed management fee rate and total expenses (including the effects of leverage) to the Lipper 15(c) Peer Group. The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee was

Prudential Global Short Duration High Yield Fund, Inc.

Board Consideration of Management Agreement

and Subadvisory Agreement (continued)

in the third quartile and anticipated total expenses were in the first quartile of the Lipper Peer Group (first quartile being the lowest fee) based upon net assets assuming outstanding leverage. The Board further noted that the Fund’s management fee was in the third quartile and anticipated total expenses were in the first quartile of the Lipper Peer Group (first quartile being the lowest expenses) based upon investable assets (i.e., net assets plus outstanding borrowings used to calculate all expenses).

The Board concluded that the proposed management fee and total expenses were reasonable in light of the services to be provided.

Profitability

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Funds has not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability information with respect to the Fund to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability information in connection with subsequent renewals of the management and subadvisory agreements.

Economies of Scale

Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Funds has not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical information regarding economies of scale with respect to the Fund to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review such information in connection with subsequent renewals of the management and subadvisory agreements.

Other Benefits to the Manager and the Subadviser

The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Manager and the Subadviser. The Board concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Manager were similar to benefits derived by the Manager in connection with its management of the other affiliated funds managed by the Manager, which are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board also concluded that any potential benefits to be derived by the Subadviser were consistent with those generally derived by subadvisers to the Prudential Retail Funds, and that those benefits are reviewed on an annual basis. The Board concluded that any potential benefits derived by the Manager and the Subadviser were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and subadvisers to mutual funds.

*    *    *

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