Objective: High level of current income |
Highlights (unaudited)
| The Fund benefited from strong industry selection, highlighted by positioning in emerging market sovereign bonds and overweights to the cable & satellite, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, and media & entertainment industries. |
| Overall issue selection also positively contributed to results, principally within the electric utilities, retail & restaurant, and capital goods industries. Bond selection within telecom also boosted returns. |
| Despite benefitting from individual issue selection in the retail & restaurant sector, from an industry perspective, an overweight to this sector was the largest detractor from returns. An overweight to aerospace & defense, coupled with an underweight to financials, also detracted. |
| Issue selection within midstream energy, building materials & home construction, and aerospace & defense all hurt performance. |

Dear Shareholder:
We hope you find the semiannual report for PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc.* informative and useful. The report covers performance for the six-month period ended January 31, 2019.
We have important information to share with you. Effective June 11, 2018, Prudential Mutual Funds were renamed PGIM Funds. This renaming is part of our ongoing effort to further build our reputation and establish our global brand, which began when our firm adopted PGIM Investments as its name in April 2017. Please note that only the Funds name has changed. Your Funds management and operation, along with its symbols, remained the same.**
Regarding your investments with PGIM, we believe it is important to maintain a diversified portfolio of funds consistent with your tolerance for risk, time horizon, and financial goals.
Your financial advisor can help you create a diversified investment plan that may include funds covering all the basic asset classes and that reflects your personal investor profile and risk tolerance. However, diversification and asset allocation strategies do not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
At PGIM Investments, we consider it a great privilege and responsibility to help investors participate in opportunities across global markets while meeting their toughest investment challenges. PGIM is a top-10 global investment manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. This investment expertise allows us to deliver actively managed funds and strategies to meet the needs of investors around the globe.

Investment Objective
The Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income by investing primarily in higher-rated, below-investment-grade fixed income instruments of issuers located around the world, including emerging markets.* The Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average portfolio duration of three years or less and a weighted average maturity of five years or less.**
*There can be no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. Higher-rated high yield bonds, commonly referred to as junk bonds, are below investment grade and are considered speculative. They are rated Ba, B by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys); BB, B by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) and Fitch, Inc. (Fitch); or comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), or if unrated, are considered by PGIM Fixed Income to be of comparable quality.
**After the reporting period on March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a change to a non-fundamental investment policy to permit the Fund to invest, under normal market conditions, in instruments of any duration or maturity and to remove the limit on investments in high yield instruments rated in the lower rating categories (Caa1 or lower by Moodys, CCC+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO).

Strategy and Performance Overview (unaudited)
How did the Fund perform?
For the six-month reporting period that ended January 31, 2019, the PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. returned 5.40% based on market price and 1.71% based on net asset value (NAV). For the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Ba/B 15 Year 1% Issuer Constrained Index (the Index) returned 1.94%, and the Lipper Closed End High Yield Leveraged Funds Average returned 0.24%. All Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends.
What were conditions like in the short-term global high yield corporate bond market?
| The short-duration, higher-quality sub-style of global high yield bonds, as measured by the Index (dollar hedged), returned 1.94% for the period, outperforming the global broad high yield market. Duration is a measure of a bonds price sensitivity to interest rate changes over time. |
| Prior to the last month in the reporting period, global high yield bonds were shaping up to finish in negative territory from a total return perspective, as an escalating US-China trade war, several profit warnings at the individual credit level, and concerns over further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the Fed) pushed spreads wider for the asset class. Total returns for the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield Index, the measure for the broad global high yield debt market, were negative in four out of the first five months of the period. However, in January 2019 sentiment improved substantially on the back of a strong jobs report, the Feds dovish narrative, and increasing oil and equity prices amid optimism regarding US-China trade talks. The Index rallied sharply in January, more than offsetting the negative returns through the first five months of the period. From an industry perspective the top performers during the period were healthcare, electric utilities, cable, and air transportation. The worst-performing industries were energy, aerospace, and automotive. The option-adjusted spread on the Index widened 73 basis points (bps) for the period, closing at +454 bps. One basis point is 0.01%. |
| Across the regional components of the Index, the emerging markets component significantly outperformed the broader index by about 165 basis points. Both the US and European high yield corporate components lagged, returning +1.08% and +0.09%, respectively. This theme was consistent with the performance of the shorter-duration, higher-quality sleeve of the global high yield market. (All returns are US-dollar hedged, Source: Bloomberg Barclays.) |
What worked?
| The Fund benefited from strong industry selection, highlighted by positioning in emerging market sovereign bonds and overweights to the cable & satellite, healthcare & pharmaceuticals, and media & entertainment industries. |

| Overall issue selection also positively contributed to results, principally within the electric utilities, retail & restaurant, and capital goods industries. Bond selection within telecom also boosted returns. |
| A few of the largest single credit contributors to returns included positioning within Cooperative Muratori, NRG Energy Inc., and the Republic of Turkey. |
What didnt work?
| Despite benefitting from individual issue selection in the retail & restaurant sector, from an industry perspective, an overweight to this sector was the largest detractor from returns. An overweight to aerospace & defense, coupled with an underweight to financials, also detracted. |
| Issue selection within midstream energy, building materials & home construction, and aerospace & defense all hurt performance. |
| A few of the largest single name positions which limited results over the period were High Mesa Holdings LP, Ferrellgas Partners LP, Bombardier Inc., and Galapagos NV. |
How did the Funds borrowing (leverage) strategy affect its performance and distributions?
| The Funds use of leverage contributed positively to NAV performance and shareholder distributions, as both the returns and income earned on the securities purchased exceeded the cost of borrowing. |
| As of January 31, 2019, the Fund had borrowed $263 million and was about 28.7% leveraged. During the reporting period, the average amount of leverage utilized by the Fund was about 29%. |
Did the Fund have exposure to derivatives, and how did they affect performance?
| Derivatives in the form of forward currency exchange contracts were used to hedge against the Funds positions not denominated in US dollars. Changes in the value of non-dollar bonds due to currency fluctuations were offset by the derivative positions, so the use of foreign currency exchange contracts had a minimal effect on performance on a net basis. |
Current outlook
| A combination of solid fundamentals (strong earnings and low defaults), favorable supply technicals, and a belief that near-term risks (US-China trade war, Fed tightening, Brexit, and Italian budget concerns) are priced into the market, thus paving the way for a relief rally in early 2019, leaves PGIM Fixed income modestly constructive on global high yield in the near term. Longer-term concerns over slowing economic growth have been offset by the meaningful spread widening late in 2018 and makes the risk-reward profile within |
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 9 |
Strategy and Performance Overview (continued)
global high yield seem more symmetrical than it was in the third quarter of 2018. Indeed, the resolution of some of the aforementioned risks could be a catalyst for significant spread tightening and large excess returns in 2019, in PGIM Fixed Incomes view. And while a recession (or the increased probability of one) could prompt additional significant spread widening, at least the upside/downside dynamic is currently more balanced. In general, PGIM Fixed Income expects defaults to remain low in 2019. In terms of positioning, PGIM Fixed Income favors single-B issuers, remains cautious on commodities, and maintains overweights to independent power producers and US consumer-related issuers. |
Were there any material changes to the Funds management?
There were no changes during the reporting period. However, on March 7, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a change to a non-fundamental investment policy to permit the Fund to invest, under normal market conditions, in instruments of any duration or maturity and to remove the limit on investments in high yield instruments rated in the lower rating categories (Caa1 or lower by Moodys, CCC+ or lower by S&P or Fitch, or comparably rated by another NRSRO). The Board of Directors also approved to change the name of the Fund to PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. and to change the Funds benchmark to the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield 2% Issuer Constrained (USD Hedged) Index. Fund management believes that the Bloomberg Barclays Global High Yield 2% Issuer Constrained (USD Hedged) Index is more relevant due to the change in the Funds investment policy. As a result of the policy change, the Fund has increased its monthly shareholder distribution to $0.1000 from $0.0825 beginning in March 2019. Effects of the change in policy are not reflected in financial statements ended January 31, 2019.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. (the Fund), formerly PGIM Global Short Duration High Yield, Inc., is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund was incorporated as a Maryland corporation on July 23, 2012.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of current income.
1. Accounting Policies
The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 946 Financial ServicesInvestment Companies. The following accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Fund consistently follows such policies in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation: The Fund holds securities and other assets and liabilities that are fair valued at the close of each day (generally, 4:00 PM Eastern time) 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 Funds Board of Directors (the Board) has adopted valuation procedures for security valuation under which fair valuation responsibilities have been delegated to PGIM Investments LLC (PGIM Investments or the Manager). Pursuant to the Boards delegation, the Manager has established a Valuation Committee responsible for supervising the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities. The valuation procedures permit the Fund to utilize independent pricing vendor services, quotations from market makers, and alternative valuation methods when market quotations are either not readily available or not deemed representative of fair value. A record of the Valuation Committees actions is subject to the Boards review, approval, and ratification at its next regularly scheduled quarterly meeting.
For the fiscal reporting period-end, securities and other assets and liabilities were fair valued at the close of the last U.S. business day. Trading in certain foreign securities may occur when the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays). Because such foreign securities trade in markets that are open on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Funds foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot purchase or redeem Fund shares.
Various inputs determine how the Funds investments are valued, all of which are categorized according to the three broad levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) detailed in the Schedule of Investments and referred to herein as the fair value hierarchy in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
46 |
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 in the fair value hierarchy since they may be purchased or sold at their net asset values on the date of valuation.
Fixed income securities traded in the OTC market are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such fixed income securities are typically valued using the market approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Fund utilizes the market approach as the primary method to value securities when market prices of identical or comparable instruments are available. The third-party vendors valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated bid price are based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, yield curves, yield spreads, credit ratings, deal terms, tranche level attributes, default rates, cash flows, prepayment speeds, broker/dealer quotations and reported trades. Certain Level 3 securities are also valued using the market approach when obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing transaction prices for identical securities that have been used in excess of five business days. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
Bank loans are generally valued at prices provided by approved independent pricing vendors. The pricing vendors utilize broker/dealer quotations and provide prices based on the average of such quotations. Bank loans valued using such vendor prices are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Bank loans valued based on a single broker quote or at the original transaction price in excess of five business days are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
OTC derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Such derivative instruments are typically valued using the market approach and/or income approach which generally involves obtaining data from an approved independent third-party vendor source. The Fund utilizes the market approach when quoted prices in broker-dealer markets are available but also includes consideration of alternative valuation approaches, including the income approach. In the absence of reliable market quotations, the income approach is typically utilized for purposes of valuing OTC derivatives such as interest rate swaps based on a discounted cash flow analysis whereby the value of the instrument is equal to the present value of its future cash inflows or outflows. Such analysis includes projecting future cash flows and determining the discount rate (including the present value factors that affect the discount rate) used to discount the future cash flows. In addition, the third-party vendors valuation techniques used to derive the evaluated OTC derivative price is based on evaluating observable inputs, including but not limited to, underlying asset prices, indices, spreads, interest rates and exchange rates. Certain OTC derivatives may be classified as Level 3 when valued using the market approach by obtaining a single broker quote or when utilizing unobservable inputs in the income approach. During the reporting period, there were no changes to report with respect to the valuation approach and/or valuation techniques discussed above.
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 47 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Securities and other assets that cannot be priced according to the methods described above are valued based on pricing methodologies approved by the Board. In the event that unobservable inputs are used when determining such valuations, the securities will be classified as Level 3 in 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 issuers 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 Manager 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 securitys most recent closing price and from the price used by other unaffiliated mutual funds to calculate their net asset values.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities: Subject to guidelines adopted by the Board, the Fund may invest without limit in illiquid securities, including those which are restricted as to disposition under federal securities law (restricted securities). Restricted securities are valued pursuant to the valuation procedures noted above. Illiquid securities are those that, because of the absence of a readily available market or due to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of 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 transaction costs that would not be incurred in the sale of securities that were freely marketable. Certain securities that would otherwise be considered illiquid because of 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 of 1933, may be deemed liquid by the Funds Subadviser under the guidelines adopted by the Board. However, the liquidity of the Funds 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 liabilitiesat the current rates of exchange;
48 |
(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expensesat 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 generally 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 long-term portfolio 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 long-term portfolio securities sold during the period. Accordingly, holding period realized foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gains (losses) on investment transactions. Notwithstanding the above, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the gain (loss) upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations; such amounts are included in net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions.
Additionally, net realized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains (losses) from the disposition of holdings of foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains (losses) arise from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (other than investments) at period end exchange rates.
Forward and Cross 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. The Fund enters into forward currency contracts, as defined in the prospectus, in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings or on specific receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency and to gain exposure to certain currencies. The contracts are valued daily at current forward exchange rates and any unrealized gain (loss) is included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward and cross currency contracts. Gain (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 (loss), if any, is included in net realized gain (loss) on forward and cross currency contract 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 Funds 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 contracts life. A cross currency contract is a forward contract where a specified amount of one foreign currency will be exchanged for a specified amount of another foreign currency.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Bank Loans: The Fund invests in bank loans. Bank loans include fixed and floating rate loans that are privately negotiated between a corporate borrower and one or more financial institutions, including, but not limited to, term loans, revolvers, and other instruments issued in the bank loan market. The Fund may acquire interests in loans directly (by way of assignment from the selling institution) or indirectly (by way of the purchase of a participation interest from the selling institution). Under a bank loan assignment, the Fund generally will succeed to all the rights and obligations of an assigning lending institution and becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the relevant borrower in connection with that loan. Under a bank loan participation, the Fund generally will have a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the relevant borrower. As a result, the Fund generally will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest, and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the relevant borrower. The Fund may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the institution selling the participation to the Fund.
Master Netting Arrangements: The Fund is subject to various Master Agreements, or netting arrangements, with select counterparties. These are agreements which a Subadviser may have negotiated and entered into on behalf of the Fund. 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 Funds exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. In addition to master netting arrangements, the right to set-off exists when all the conditions are met such that each of the parties owes the other determinable amounts, the reporting party has the right to set-off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party, the reporting party intends to set-off and the right of set-off is enforceable by law. During the reporting period, there was no intention to settle on a net basis and all amounts are presented on a gross basis on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Fund is a party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) Master Agreements with certain counterparties that govern OTC derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Funds custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or re-pledged, is presented in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Funds custodian and identified in the Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash or debt
50 |
securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Funds net position with each counterparty. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Funds net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterpartys long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Funds counterparties to elect early termination could impact the Funds future derivative activity.
Payment-In-Kind: The Fund invests in the open market or receive pursuant to debt restructuring, securities that pay-in-kind (PIK) the interest due on such debt instruments. The PIK interest, computed at the contractual rate specified, is added to the existing principal balance of the debt when issued bonds have same terms as the bond or recorded as a separate bond when terms are different from the existing debt, and is recorded as interest income.
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 securities and accreting discounts and amortizing premiums on debt obligations.
Securities Transactions and Net Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains (losses) from investment and currency transactions are calculated on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, or for certain foreign securities, when the Fund becomes aware of such dividends. 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 an accrual basis, which may require the use of certain estimates by management that may differ from actual.
Taxes: It is the Funds 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 investment income and capital gains, if any, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned. However, due to the timing of when distributions are made by the Fund, the Fund may be subject to an excise tax of 4% of the amount by which 98% of the Funds annual
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 51 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
taxable income for the calendar year and 98.2% of its net capital gains for a one-year period ending on October 31 exceed the distributions from such taxable income and net capital gains for the calendar year. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, interest and capital gains, if any, are recorded, net of reclaimable amounts, at the time the related income is earned.
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.
PGIM Investments has received an order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) 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 PGIM Investments 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 PGIM Investments, 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-date. Permanent book/tax differences relating to income and gain (loss) are reclassified amongst total distributable earnings (loss) and paid-in capital in excess of par, as appropriate.
Estimates: The preparation of 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 estimates.
2. Agreements
The Fund has a management agreement with PGIM Investments. Pursuant to this agreement, PGIM Investments has responsibility for all investment advisory services and supervises the Subadvisers performance of such services. PGIM Investments has entered into a subadvisory agreement with PGIM, Inc., which provides subadvisory services to the Fund through its PGIM Fixed Income unit. The subadvisory agreement provides that PGIM, Inc. will furnish investment advisory services in connection with the management of the
52 |
Fund. In connection therewith, PGIM, Inc. is obligated to keep certain books and records of the Fund. PGIM Investments pays for the services of PGIM, Inc., the cost of compensation of officers of the Fund, occupancy and certain clerical and bookkeeping costs of the Fund. The Fund bears all other costs and expenses.
The management fee paid to the Manager is accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% of the average daily value of the Funds 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.
PGIM Investments and PGIM, Inc. are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential).
3. Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund may enter into certain securities purchase or sale transactions under Board approved Rule 17a-7 procedures. Rule 17a-7 is an exemptive rule under the 1940 Act, that subject to certain conditions, permits purchase and sale transactions among affiliated investment companies, or between an investment company and a person that is affiliated solely by reason of having a common (or affiliated) investment adviser, common directors, and/or common officers. Pursuant to the Rule 17a-7 procedures and consistent with guidance issued by the SEC, the Funds Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) prepares a quarterly summary of all such transactions for submission to the Board, together with the CCOs written representation that all such 17a-7 transactions were effected in accordance with the Funds Rule 17a-7 procedures. Any 17a-7 transactions for the reporting period are disclosed in the Portfolio Securities notes section. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2019, no such transactions were entered into by the Fund.
The Fund may invest its overnight sweep cash in the PGIM Core Ultra Short Bond Fund (the Core Fund), a series of Prudential Investment Portfolios 2, registered under the 1940 Act and managed by PGIM Investments. Through the Funds investments in the mentioned underlying fund, PGIM Investments and/or its affiliates are paid fees or reimbursed for providing their services. Earnings from the Core Fund are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as Affiliated dividend income.
4. Portfolio Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government securities) for the reporting period ended January 31, 2019, were $221,551,760 and $218,224,172, respectively.
A summary of the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of shares of an affiliated mutual fund for the reporting period ended January 31, 2019, is presented as follows:

|
|
The book basis may differ from tax basis due to certain tax-related adjustments.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward as of July 31, 2018 of approximately $103,925,000 which can be carried forward for an unlimited period. No capital gains distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders until net gains have been realized in excess of such losses.
The Manager has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal, state and local income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds financial statements for the current reporting period. The Funds federal, state and local income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
6. Capital and Ownership
There are 1 billion shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized. As of January 31, 2019, Prudential owned 8,751 shares of the Fund.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund did not issue any shares of common stock in connection with the Funds dividend reinvestment plan.
54 |
7. Borrowings and Re-hypothecation
The Fund currently is a party to a committed credit facility (the credit facility) with a financial institution. The credit facility provides for a maximum commitment of $300 million or 50% of the net asset value based on the most recent fiscal year end. Interest on any borrowings under the credit facility is payable at the negotiated rates. The Funds 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 to meet its general cash flow requirements.
The Fund utilized the credit facility during the reporting period ended January 31, 2019. The average daily outstanding loan balance for the 184 days that the Fund utilized the facility during the period was $265,581,522, borrowed at a weighted average interest rate of 3.00%. The maximum loan balance outstanding during the period was $268,000,000. At January 31, 2019, the Fund had an outstanding loan balance of $263,000,000.
Re-hypothecation: The credit facility agreement permits, subject to certain conditions, the financial institution to re-hypothecate, up to the amount outstanding under the facility, portfolio securities segregated by the Fund as collateral. The Fund continues to receive interest on re-hypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the agreement to recall the re-hypothecated securities from the financial institution on demand. If the financial institution fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by the financial institution for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by the financial institution, the Fund, upon notice to the financial institution, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the value of the recalled security failed to be returned plus accrued interest. The Fund will receive a portion of the fees earned by the financial institution in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities. Such earnings are disclosed in the Statement of Operations under Other income. As of January 31, 2019, there were no earnings to be disclosed.
8. Risks of Investing in the Fund
The Funds risks include, but are not limited to, some or all of the risks discussed below:
Bond Obligations Risk: The Funds holdings, share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to bond market movements. The value of bonds may decline for issuer-related reasons, including management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuers goods and services. Certain types of fixed-income obligations also may be subject to call and redemption risk, which is the risk that the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may not be able to reinvest at the same level and therefore would earn less income.
Derivatives Risk: Derivatives involve special risks and costs and may result in losses to the Fund. The successful use of derivatives requires sophisticated management, and, to the extent that derivatives are used, the Fund will depend on the Subadvisers ability to analyze
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 55 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
and manage derivative transactions. The prices of derivatives may move in unexpected ways, especially in abnormal market conditions. Some derivatives are leveraged and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to the Fund. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions. A liquid secondary market may not always exist for the Funds derivatives positions. In fact, many OTC derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. OTC derivative instruments also involve the risk that the other party will not meet its obligations to the Fund.
Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments are greater for investments in or exposed to emerging markets. Emerging market countries typically have economic and political systems that are less fully developed, and can be expected to be less stable, than those of more developed countries. For example, the economies of such countries can be subject to rapid and unpredictable rates of inflation or deflation. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility.
Foreign Securities Risk: The Funds investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than US markets. The value of the Funds investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability.
Interest Rate Risk: The value of an investment may go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt obligations may prepay principal more quickly than expected, and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as prepayment risk. When interest rates rise, debt obligations may be repaid more slowly than expected, and the value of the Funds holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as extension risk. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk as a result of the U.S. Federal Reserve Boards policies. The Funds investments may lose value if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or in a manner not anticipated by the Subadviser.
Liquidity Risk: The Fund may invest in instruments that trade in lower volumes and are less liquid than other investments. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments made by the Fund are difficult to purchase or sell. Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell these investments to pay redemption proceeds or for other reasons, the Fund may lose money. In addition, when there is no
56 |
willing buyer and investments may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment, the Fund may incur higher transaction costs when executing trade orders of a given size. The reduction in dealer market-making capacity in the fixed-income markets that has occurred in recent years also has the potential to reduce liquidity. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Funds value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities.
Market and Credit Risk: Securities markets may be volatile and the market prices of the Funds securities may decline. Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuers financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of an investment in the Fund will decline. Additionally, the Fund may also be exposed to credit risk in the event that an issuer or guarantor fails to perform or that an institution or entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions defaults.
Risks of Investments in Bank Loans: The Funds ability to receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts in connection with loans (whether through participations, assignments or otherwise) will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The failure by the Funds scheduled interest or principal payments on a loan because of a default, bankruptcy or any other reason would adversely affect the income of the Fund and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Even with loans secured by collateral, there is the risk that the value of the collateral may decline, may be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. Further, the Funds access to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy laws.
9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Reporting Updates
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) adopted amendments to Regulation S-X to update and simplify the disclosure requirements for registered investment companies by eliminating requirements that are redundant or duplicative of US GAAP requirements or other SEC disclosure requirements. The new amendments require the presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the total, rather than the components, of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for the parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and certain tax adjustments that were reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The Manager has adopted the amendments and reflected them in the Funds financial statements.
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 57 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the Funds policy for the timing of transfers between levels. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Manager has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of the ASU and has determined to early adopt aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures under the ASU effective immediately. At this time, the Manager is evaluating the implications of certain other provisions of the ASU related to new disclosure requirements and any impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
10. Subsequent Event
Dividends to Shareholders: On March 8, 2019, the Fund declared monthly dividends of $0.10 per share payable on March 29, 2019, April 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, respectively, to shareholders of record on March 22, 2019, April 18, 2019 and May 17, 2019, respectively. The ex-dates are March 21, 2019, April 17, 2019 and May 16, 2019, respectively.

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 Funds 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 stockholders 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 participants 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 common stock acquired on behalf of the participants in Open-Market Purchases.
PGIM Global High Yield Fund, Inc. | 61 |
Other Information (continued)
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 stockholders name and held for the account of beneficial owners who participate in the Plan.
The Plan Administrators 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
62 |
Plan Administrator to have the Plan Administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the Plan Administrator in the participants 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 Administrators 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 Administrators 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 participants 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 participants account under the Plan by so notifying the Plan Administrator via the Plan Administrators website at www.computershare.com/investor, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the participants Statement and sending it to the Plan Administrator or by calling the Plan Administrator. Such termination will be effective immediately if the participants 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 Funds whole book-entry shares of common stock and a check for the cash adjustment of any fractional share at the market value of the Funds 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 participants 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

Other Information (continued)
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.
