ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS

PGIM Investments LLC (PGIM Investments) (formerly known as Prudential Investments LLC) serves as investment manager to VCA 10. PGIM Investments is located at 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. PGIM Investments and its predecessors have served as manager or administrator to investment companies since 1987. As of December 31, 2016, PGIM Investments served as the investment manager to all of the Prudential U.S. and offshore investment companies, and as manager or administrator to closed-end investment companies, with aggregate assets of approximately $254.1 billion.

Under a management agreement with VCA 10, PGIM Investments manages VCA 10's investment operations and administers its business affairs, and is paid a management fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of VCA 10. Under the management agreement with VCA 10, PGIM Investments is responsible for selecting and monitoring one or more subadvisers to handle the day-to-day investment management of VCA 10. PGIM Investments, not VCA 10, pays the fees of the subadvisers. Pursuant to an order issued by the SEC, VCA 10 may add or change a subadviser, or change the agreement with a subadviser, if PGIM Investments and the VCA 10 Committee conclude that doing so is in the best interests of VCA 10 Contractowners and Participants. VCA 10 can make these changes without Contractowner/Participant approval, but will notify Contractowners/Participants investing in VCA 10 of any such change.

VCA 10's current subadviser is Jennison Associates LLC (Jennison), a Prudential Financial subsidiary located at 466 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017. PGIM Investments pays Jennison a subadvisory fee equal to 0.20% annually of the average daily net assets under Jennison's management.

Jennison  may use affiliated brokers to execute brokerage transactions on behalf of VCA 10 as long as the commissions charged by such affiliated brokers are comparable to the commissions received by other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities during a comparable period of time. More information about brokerage transactions is included in the SAI.

Spiros “Sig” Segalas, Warren N. Koontz, Jr. and Joseph C. Esposito, CFA are the portfolio managers of VCA 10 and have day-to-day management responsibility over all aspects of VCA 10's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction, risk assessment and management of cash flows.

Messrs. Segalas, Koontz and Esposito are supported by other Jennison portfolio managers, research analysts and investment professionals. Jennison typically follows a team approach in providing such support to the portfolio manager. The teams are generally organized along product strategies (e.g., large cap growth, large cap value) and meet regularly to review the portfolio holdings and discuss security purchase and sales activity of all accounts in the particular product strategy. Team members provide research support, make securities recommendations and support the portfolio managers in all activities. Members of the team may change from time to time.
