PROXY STATEMENT

April 8, 2026

Annual Meeting of Stockholders to Be Held on June 17, 2026

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” and the members thereof, the “Directors”) of PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), of proxies to be exercised at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund to be held at 655 Broad Street, 6th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102, on June 17, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and at any postponements or adjournments thereof (the “Meeting”). The purpose of the Meeting and the matters to be acted upon are set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”). The Board knows of no business other than the election of the three (3) Class II Directors and the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented at the Meeting, the giving of a proxy will empower the persons named in the proxy to vote in their discretion on such matter.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are first being made available to stockholders on or about April 8, 2026.

The Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation and is a registered closed-end investment company.

PGIM Investments LLC (“PGIM Investments” or the “Manager”) serves as the Fund’s investment manager. PGIM Investments and its predecessors have served as a manager or administrator to registered investment companies since 1987. PGIM Investments’ principal address is 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM” or the “Subadviser”) serves as the Fund’s subadviser, through its PGIM Credit investment group (formerly PGIM Fixed Income). PGIM is a registered investment adviser and, through its PGIM Credit investment group, is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. PGIM’s principal address is 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. Both PGIM Investments and PGIM are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (“Prudential”). As of December 31, 2025, PGIM Investments served as investment manager to all of the Prudential US and offshore open-end investment companies, and as manager or administrator, as applicable, to closed-end investment companies with total aggregate assets of approximately $333.2 billion. The Board, in addition to overseeing the actions of the Manager and Subadviser, decides upon matters of general policy relating to the Fund. The Fund does not have a principal underwriter.

To register to attend the Meeting in person, you must email shareholdermeetings@computershare.com no later than 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on June 12, 2026, and provide your full name and address.

Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, please sign, date and return a proxy card, or provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet. If you authorize a proxy by telephone or over the Internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you and which is printed on your proxy card. This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access into the voting sites and confirm that your instructions are properly recorded. If you require additional information, please call toll free at 1 (866) 766-4392.

All properly authorized proxies received prior to or at the Meeting will be exercised at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are given, votes entitled to be cast by stockholders represented by the proxies will be cast “FOR” the election of each nominee listed in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the

independent registered public accounting firm listed in Proposal No. 2 and in the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly be brought before the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Stockholders who authorize proxies may revoke them at any time before they are exercised by filing with the Fund a written notice of revocation at or prior to the start of the Meeting, by duly authorizing a proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. In accordance with the Fund’s Bylaws, a quorum is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of outstanding shares of the Fund’s common stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, a stockholder who properly authorizes a proxy but instructs the proxy holder to “abstain” or “withhold authority” will be treated as present for determining the presence of a quorum.

The Board has fixed the close of business on March 26, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders of the Fund entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. Each share of stock entitles the holder of the share as of the Record Date to cast one vote for as many individuals as there are Directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted and a fractional vote with respect to fractional shares, with no cumulative voting rights. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Fund had 40,961,118 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Annual reports are sent or made available to stockholders of record of the Fund following the Fund’s fiscal year end pursuant to Rule 30e-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a stockholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the Fund at 655 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102 or call toll free at (800) 451-6788 or visit the Fund’s website at www.pgim.com/investments or on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Internet site at www.sec.gov. This reference to the website does not incorporate the contents of the website into this Proxy Statement.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Proxy Statement may be sent to two or more stockholders of the Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual or semi-annual report or the Proxy Statement or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, stockholders should contact the Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

The expenses of solicitation will include reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to beneficial owners. The solicitation of proxies will be largely by mail.

Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies

A quorum of stockholders is required to take action at the Meeting. The presence of stockholders of record as of the Record Date entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Meeting. The inspector of elections will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. A stockholder who properly executes a proxy but instructs the proxy holder to “abstain” or “withhold authority,” or who is present at the Meeting in person but who abstains from voting on any matter, and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter), if any, will be counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum.

If you hold shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial intermediary) and if you return a signed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of each nominee listed in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund in Proposal No. 2.

Broker-dealer firms or other nominees holding shares of the Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Proposal before the Meeting. A signed voting instruction card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted will be deemed an instruction to vote such shares “FOR” the election of each nominee listed in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund in Proposal No. 2.

If you hold shares of the Fund through a service agent that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a stockholder that does not specify how the stockholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service agent to vote such shares “FOR” the election of each nominee listed in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund in Proposal No. 2. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or other nominees or that are held of record by a service agent and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer, other nominee or service agent specific instructions as to how you want your votes to be cast.

Required Vote

•

Proposal No. 1: Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Fund’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of the election of Directors, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote against the election of a Director.

•

Proposal No. 2: A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. For purposes of the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as represented at the Meeting but will not be considered votes cast. As such, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal No. 2.

In the event that a quorum is not present, or if proxies for sufficient votes to elect one or more of the nominees for election as Directors listed in Proposal No. 1 or for the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm in Proposal No. 2 are not received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, pursuant to the Fund’s Bylaws, the chair of the Meeting may adjourn the Meeting to another date and time, not later than 120 days after the original record date, and at a place announced at the Meeting without a vote of the stockholders present at the Meeting or the persons named as proxies may move for one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to such proposal. In determining whether to adjourn the Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the nature of the proposal that is the subject of the Meeting, the percentage of the stockholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, the nature of any

further solicitation and the information to be provided to stockholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Approval of any proposal to adjourn the Meeting brought before the Fund’s stockholders will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter at the Meeting. If an adjournment is properly brought before the Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares that they are entitled to vote in their discretion.

In accordance with the Fund’s charter, the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board” and the members thereof, the “Directors” or “Board Members”) is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III.

The Class III Directors were elected for a term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.

Each Class II Director currently serving on the Board has been nominated by the Board of Directors for election at the Meeting to serve for a term expiring at the 2029 annual meeting of the Fund’s stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify, or until they earlier resign or are otherwise removed. Subject to the 1940 Act, any vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the remaining Directors, even if the remaining Directors do not constitute a quorum. Any Director elected to fill a vacancy on the Board will serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until a successor is elected and qualifies.

However, if any Class II Director nominee should be unable to serve, proxies instructing the proxy holders to vote “FOR” such Class II Director nominee will be voted “FOR” any other person who shall be nominated by the Board to fill such directorship.

There is no set limit on the number of terms of office that Directors or officers may serve. The Directors have adopted a retirement policy, which calls for the retirement of Directors on December 31 of the year in which they reach the age of 75.

•

“Other Directorships/Trusteeships Held” includes only directorships/trusteeships of companies required to register or file reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (that is, “public companies”) or other investment companies registered under the 1940 Act.

•

“Portfolios Overseen” includes such applicable investment companies managed by PGIM Investments LLC and overseen by the Board Member. The investment companies for which PGIM Investments LLC serves as manager include:

Compensation of Directors and Officers. Pursuant to a Management Agreement with the Fund, the Manager pays all compensation and expenses of officers and employees of the Fund as well as the fees and expenses of all Interested Directors.

The Fund pays each of its Independent Directors annual compensation in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses. Independent Directors who serve on committees of the Board may receive additional compensation. The amount of annual compensation paid to each Independent Director may change as a result of the introduction of additional funds on whose boards the Directors may be asked to serve.

Independent Directors may defer receipt of their fees pursuant to a deferred fee agreement with the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund accrues deferred Independent Directors’ fees daily which, in turn, accrue interest at a rate equivalent to the prevailing rate of 90-day U.S. Treasury Bills at the beginning of each calendar quarter or at the daily rate of return of any mutual fund managed by PGIM Investments chosen by the Independent Director. Payment of the interest so accrued is also deferred and becomes payable at the option of the Independent Director. The obligation to make payments of deferred Independent Directors’ fees, together with interest thereon, is a general obligation of the Fund. The Fund does not have a retirement or pension plan for its Independent Directors.

The following table sets forth the aggregate compensation paid by the Fund to the Independent Directors for service on the Board for the Fund’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, and the board of any other investment company in the PGIM fund complex (the “Fund Complex”) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025. Interested Directors and officers do not receive compensation from PGIM Investments-managed funds and therefore are not shown in the following table.

Explanatory Notes to Director Compensation Table

*	Compensation relates to portfolios that were in existence for any period during 2025. Number of funds and portfolios represent those in existence as of December 31, 2025, and excludes funds that have merged or liquidated during the year.

Under the deferred fee agreement for the PGIM Investments-managed funds, certain Board Members have elected to defer all or part of their total compensation. The amount of compensation deferred during the calendar year ended December 31, 2025, amounted to $302,790 for Ms. Alberding. Under the deferred fee arrangement, this amount is deposited into a trust held for the benefit of the participating Board Member and is not a continuing obligation of the Fund.

Board Committees. The Board has established four standing committees in connection with governance of the Fund—the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Dryden Investment Committee and the Compliance Committee. Information on the membership of each standing committee and its functions is set forth below.

Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is not an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in overseeing the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, accounting policies and procedures and other areas relating to the Fund’s auditing processes.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for pre-approving permitted services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to (1) the Manager and (2) any entity in a control relationship with the Manager that provides ongoing services to the Fund, provided that the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm relates directly to the operation and financial reporting of the Fund. The scope of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities is oversight. It is management’s responsibility to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal controls and the independent registered public accounting firm’s responsibility to plan and carry out an audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Audit Committee charter is available on the Fund’s website at https://www.pgim.com/investments/closed-end-funds. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the Audit Committee met five times.

Leadership Structure and Qualifications of Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for oversight of the Fund. The Fund has engaged the Manager to manage the Fund on a day-to-day basis. The Board oversees the Manager and certain other principal service providers in the operations of the Fund. The Board is currently composed of eight members, six of whom are Independent Directors. The Board meets in-person at regularly scheduled meetings four times throughout the year. In addition, the Directors may meet in-person or by telephone at special meetings or on an informal basis at other times. As described above, the Board has established four standing committees — Audit, Nominating and Governance, Dryden Investment and Compliance — and may establish ad hoc committees or working groups from time to time to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Independent Directors have also engaged independent legal counsel to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities.

The Board is chaired by an Independent Director. As Chair, this Independent Director leads the Board in its activities. Also, the Chair acts as a member or as an ex-officio member of each standing committee and any ad hoc committee of the Board. The Directors have determined that the Board’s leadership and committee structure is appropriate because the Board believes it sets the proper tone to the relationships between the Fund, on the one hand, and the Manager, the Subadviser and certain other principal service providers, on the other hand, and facilitates the exercise of the Board’s independent judgment in evaluating and managing these relationships. In addition, the structure efficiently allocates responsibility among committees. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the Board met six times. Each Director then a Board Member attended all of the meetings of the Board and the committees of which he or she was a member. The Fund does not have a policy regarding the Directors’ attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. Two Directors attended the Fund’s annual meeting of stockholders held in May 2025.

The Board has concluded that, based on each Director’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Directors, each Director should serve as a Director. Among other attributes common to all Directors are their ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the various service providers to the Fund, and to exercise reasonable business judgment in the performance of their duties as Directors. In addition, the Board has taken into account the actual service and commitment of the Directors during their tenure in concluding that

each should continue to serve. A Director’s ability to perform his or her duties effectively may have been attained through a Director’s educational background or professional training; business, consulting, public service or academic positions; experience from service as a Director of the Fund, other funds in the Fund Complex, public companies, or non-profit entities or other organizations; or other experiences or a combination of the foregoing.

Set forth below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Director that led the Board to conclude that he or she should serve as a Director.

Ellen S. Alberding. Ms. Alberding joined the Board of the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex in 2013. Ms. Alberding has over 30 years of experience in the non-profit sector, including over 20 years as the president of a charitable foundation, where she oversees multiple investment managers. Ms. Alberding also served as a Trustee of the Aon Funds from 2000 to 2003.

Kevin J. Bannon. Mr. Bannon has been a Board Member of the Fund since inception and other funds in the Fund Complex since 2008. Mr. Bannon has held senior executive positions in the financial services industry, including serving as a senior executive of asset management firms, for over 25 years.

Barry H. Evans. Mr. Evans joined the Board of the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex in 2017. Mr. Evans has held senior executive positions and various portfolio manager roles in an asset management firm for 30 years.

Keith F. Hartstein. Mr. Hartstein joined the Board of the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex in 2013. Mr. Hartstein has worked in the asset management industry for over 30 years and served as a senior executive in an asset management firm.

Brian K. Reid. Mr. Reid joined the Board of the Fund and the other funds in the Fund Complex in 2018. Mr. Reid has more than 30 years of experience in economics and related fields, including serving as Chief Economist for the Investment Company Institute (ICI) for 13 years.

Grace C. Torres. Ms. Torres joined the Board of the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex in 2014. Ms. Torres formerly served as Treasurer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer for the Fund and other funds in the Fund Complex for 16 years and held senior positions with the Manager from 1999 to 2014. In addition, Ms. Torres is a certified public accountant (CPA).

Stuart S. Parker. Mr. Parker, who has served as an Interested Board Member and President of the Fund since inception and the other funds in the Fund Complex since 2012, is President, Chief Executive Officer and Officer in Charge of PGIM Investments and several of its affiliates that provide services to the Fund and has held senior positions in PGIM Investments since 2005.

Scott E. Benjamin. Mr. Benjamin, an Interested Board Member of the Fund since inception and other funds in the Fund Complex since 2010, has served as a Vice President of the Fund since inception and other funds in the Fund Complex since 2009 and has held senior positions in PGIM Investments since 2003.

Specific details about each Board Member’s professional experience appear in the professional biography tables, above.

Risk Oversight. Investing in general and the operation of a registered investment company involves a variety of risks, such as investment risk, compliance risk and operational risk, among others. The Board oversees risk as part of its oversight of the Fund. Risk oversight is addressed as part of various regular Board and committee activities. The Board, directly or through its committees, reviews reports from, among others, the Manager, Subadviser, the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm,

counsel, and internal auditors of the Manager or its affiliates, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund and the risk management programs of the Manager and certain service providers. The actual day-to-day risk management with respect to the Fund resides with the Manager and other service providers to the Fund. Although the risk management policies of the Manager and the service providers are designed to be effective, those policies and their implementation vary among service providers and over time, and there is no guarantee that they will be effective. Not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified or processes and controls developed to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects, and some risks are simply beyond any control of the Fund or the Manager, its affiliates or other service providers.

Selection of Director Nominees. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for considering nominees for election as Directors and recommending individuals to the Board for nomination. The Nominating and Governance Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Directors and by executive search firms the committee may engage from time to time and will also consider stockholder recommendations. The Nominating and Governance Committee has not established specific, minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee. In evaluating nominees, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Nominating and Governance Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and Directors and will contribute to the diversity of the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates nominees for the Board based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder.

A stockholder who wishes to recommend a person for nomination for election as a Director should submit his or her recommendation in writing to the Chair of the Board or the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, in either case in care of the Fund, at 655 Broad Street, 6th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102. At a minimum, the recommendation should include: the name, address and business, educational and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act; any other information that the Fund would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation, together with the number of shares of stock of the Fund held by such person and the period for which the shares have been held. The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Nominating and Governance Committee in evaluating the recommendation.

Stockholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Prudential Financial, Inc. (the parent company of the Manager) would be deemed an “interested person” under the 1940 Act. In addition, certain other relationships with Prudential Financial, Inc. or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Fund’s outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.” Before the Nominating and Governance Committee decides to recommend that the Board nominate an individual to the Board, committee members and other Directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual is customarily asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving on the board of a registered investment company.

Share Ownership. Information relating to each Director’s stock ownership in the Fund and in all registered funds in the Fund Complex that are overseen by the respective Director as of December 31, 2025 is set forth in the chart below.


Name	Dollar Range of Equity Securities in the Fund		Aggregate Dollar Range of Equity Securities in All Registered Investment Companies Overseen by Director in Fund Complex
Director Share Ownership: Independent Directors
Ellen S. Alberding		None		Over $100,000
Kevin J. Bannon		None		Over $100,000
Barry H. Evans		Over $100,000		Over $100,000
Keith F. Hartstein		$10,001-$50,000		Over $100,000

Grace C. Torres		None		Over $100,000
Director Share Ownership: Interested Directors
Stuart S. Parker		None		Over $100,000
Scott E. Benjamin		None		Over $100,000

As of December 31, 2025, none of the Independent Directors or any member of his/her immediate family owned beneficially or of record any securities in an investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Fund or a person (other than a registered investment company) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Manager or Subadviser.

Stockholder Communications with Directors. Stockholders can communicate directly with Directors by writing to the Chair of the Board, c/o the Fund, 655 Broad Street, 6th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102. Stockholders can communicate directly with an individual Director by writing to that Director, c/o the Fund, 655 Broad Street, 6th Floor, Newark, New Jersey 07102. Such communications to the Board or individual Directors are not screened before being delivered to the addressee.

Board Recommendation and Required Vote

Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Fund’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of the election of Directors, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote against the election of a Director.

The Board of Directors, including the Directors who are not “interested” persons, unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Fund vote “FOR” each of the nominees for election as a Class II Director.

PROPOSAL NO. 2:

TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Fund, which is comprised solely of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, and the Board, has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026. The Board is asking stockholders to ratify that appointment. Although action by the Fund’s stockholders on this matter is not required, the Audit Committee and the Board believe the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm may be an important matter of concern for the Fund’s stockholders and are therefore submitting the appointment of PwC for ratification by stockholders. The Board considers the appointment of PwC as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2026 to be advisable and in the best interests of the Fund and recommends a vote FOR ratification of PwC. A representative of PwC will be available by telephone to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if the representative desires.

Board Recommendation and Required Vote

A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. For purposes of the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as represented at the Meeting but will not be considered votes cast. As such, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal No. 2.

If the appointment of PwC is not ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, reconsider its appointment of PwC. Even if the appointment of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Fund. The Board of Directors, including the Directors who are not “interested” persons, unanimously recommends that stockholders of the Fund vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Board of Directors of PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Fund”), has an Audit Committee which as of September 9, 2025 consisted of Ms. Torres (Chair) and Messrs. Evans, Hartstein (ex-officio) and Reid, each of whom (i) is not an “interested person” of the Fund or of PGIM Investments, LLC within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, and (ii) meets the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee met five times during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025. The Audit Committee has a charter, a copy of which is available on the Fund’s website at https://www.pgim.com/investments/closed-end-funds.

The function of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes, which includes the selection, retention, compensation and termination of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. In connection therewith, the Audit Committee reviews with management and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, among other things, the scope of the independent registered accounting firm’s audit of the Fund’s financial statements, reviews and discusses the Fund’s annual audited financial statements with management, reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s required communications regarding the scope and results of the audit, reviews and approves in advance the type of services to be rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm, reviews matters related to the independence of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and in general considers and reports to the Board of Directors on matters regarding the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes.

In performing its oversight function, at a meeting held on September 9, 2025, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Fund’s audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 with management of the Fund and the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and discussed the audit of such financial statements with the independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accountants the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves to be, accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including in respect of auditor independence or internal controls notwithstanding the fact that one or more members may be designated an “audit committee financial expert.” Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on, and makes no independent verification of, the facts presented to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accountants. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or that the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm is in fact “independent.”

Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the discussions and reports referred to above with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and subject to the limitations on the responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Audit Committee charter and those limitations discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of the Fund that the Fund’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended July 31, 2025 be included in the Fund’s annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), 300 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017 has been appointed to serve as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s fiscal year ending July 31, 2026.

A representative of PwC will be available by telephone to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if the representative desires.

Set forth in the table below are audit fees and non-audit related fees billed to the Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accountant for professional services for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025.


Audit Fees	Audit-Related Fees*	Tax Fees**	All Other Fees***
$52,701	None	None	None

*	“Audit-Related Fees” are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of financial statements and are not reported under the category of audit fees.

**	“Tax Fees” are those fees related to the Fund’s independent registered public accountant’s tax consulting services, including primarily the review of the Fund’s income tax returns.

***	“All Other Fees” include the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the Fund’s independent registered public accountant, other than the reported services.

The Fund’s Audit Committee charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services to be provided to the Fund by the Fund’s independent registered public accountant, and all non-audit services to be provided by the independent accountants to the Manager and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager (“Affiliates”) that provides on-going services to the Fund, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Alternatively, the Audit Committee also may delegate pre-approval to one of its members subject to subsequent reporting to the Audit Committee. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, all of the audit and non-audit services described above for which the Fund’s independent registered public accountant billed the Fund fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee as required.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Fund’s independent registered public accountant for services rendered to the Fund and rendered to the Manager or its Affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Fund for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025 is $0.00.
