EXHIBIT 99.(d)(2)
PRUDENTIAL INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND, INC.
Subadvisory Agreement
Agreement made as of this 13th day of September, 1995, and amended and
restated as of January 1, 2000, between Prudential Investments Fund Management
LLC, a New York limited liability company and successor to Prudential Mutual
Fund Management Inc., a Delaware Corporation (PMF or the Manager), and The
Prudential Investment Corporation, a New Jersey Corporation (the Subadviser).
WHEREAS, the Manager has entered into a Management Agreement, dated
September 13, 1995 (the Management Agreement), with Prudential International
Bond Fund, Inc., formerly known as The Global Government Plus Fund, Inc. (the
Fund), a Maryland corporation and a non-diversified open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 0000 (xxx 0000
Xxx), pursuant to which PMF will act as Manager of the Fund.
WHEREAS, PMF desires to retain the Subadviser to provide investment
advisory services to the Fund in connection with the management of the Fund and
the Subadviser is willing to render such investment advisory services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. (a) Subject to the supervision of the Manager and of the Board of
Directors of the Fund, the Subadviser shall manage the investment
operations of the Fund and the composition of the Fund's portfolio,
including the purchase, retention and disposition thereof, in accordance
with the Fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions as
stated in the Prospectus, (such Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information as currently in effect and as amended or supplemented from
time to time, being herein called the "Prospectus"), and subject to the
following understandings:
(i) The Subadviser shall provide supervision of the Fund's
investments and determine from time to time what investments and
securities will be purchased, retained, sold or loaned by the
Fund, and what portion of the assets will be invested or held
uninvested as cash.
(ii) In the performance of its duties and obligations under
this Agreement, the Subadviser shall act in conformity with the
Articles of Incorporation,
2
By-Laws and Prospectus of the Fund and with the instructions and
directions of the Manager and of the Board of Directors of the
Fund and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the
1940 Act, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and all other
applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
(iii) The Subadviser shall determine the securities and
futures contracts to be purchased or sold by the Fund and will
place orders with or through such persons, brokers, dealers or
futures commission merchants (including but not limited to
Prudential Securities Incorporated) to carry out the policy with
respect to brokerage as set forth in the Fund's Registration
Statement and Prospectus or as the Board of Directors may direct
from time to time. In providing the Fund with investment
supervision, it is recognized that the Subadviser will give
primary consideration to securing the most favorable price and
efficient execution. Within the framework of this policy, the
Subadviser may consider the financial responsibility, research and
investment information and other services provided by brokers,
dealers or futures commission merchants who may effect or be a
party to any such transaction or other transactions to which the
Subadviser's other clients may be a party. It is understood that
Prudential Securities Incorporated may be used as a broker for
securities transactions but that no formula has been adopted for
allocation of the Fund's investment transaction business. It is
also understood that it is desirable for the Fund that the
Subadviser have access to supplemental investment and market
research and security and economic analysis provided by brokers or
futures commission merchants who may execute brokerage
transactions at a higher cost to the Fund than may result when
allocating brokerage to other brokers on the basis of seeking the
most favorable price and efficient execution. Therefore, the
Subadviser is authorized to place orders for the purchase and sale
of securities and futures contracts for the Fund with such brokers
or futures commission merchants, subject to review by the Fund's
Board of Directors from time to time with respect to the extent
and continuation of this practice. It is
2
3
understood that the services provided by such brokers or futures
commission merchants may be useful to the Subadviser in connection
with the Subadviser's services to other clients.
On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale
of a security or futures contract to be in the best interest of
the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the
Subadviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate
the securities or futures contracts to be sold or purchased in
order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage
commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of
the securities or futures contracts so purchased or sold, as well
as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the
Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most
equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the
Fund and to such other clients.
(iv) The Subadviser shall maintain all books and records
with respect to the Fund's portfolio transactions required by
subparagraphs (b) (5), (6), (7), (9), (10) and (11) and paragraph
(f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act and shall render to the
Fund's Board of Directors such periodic and special reports as the
Directors may reasonably request.
(v) The Subadviser shall provide the Fund's Custodian on
each business day with information relating to all transactions
concerning the Fund's assets and shall provide the Manager with
such information upon request of the Manager.
(vi) The investment management services provided by the
Subadviser hereunder are not to be deemed exclusive, and the
Subadviser shall be free to render similar services to others.
(b) The Subadviser shall authorize and permit any of its directors,
officers and employees who may be elected as directors or officers of
the Fund to serve in the capacities
3
4
in which they are elected. Services to be furnished by the Subadviser
under this Agreement may be furnished through the medium of any of such
directors, officers or employees.
(c) The Subadviser shall keep the Fund's books and records required to be
maintained by the Subadviser pursuant to paragraph 1(a) hereof and shall
timely furnish to the Manager all information relating to the
Subadviser's services hereunder needed by the Manager to keep the other
books and records of the Fund required by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.
The Subadviser agrees that all records which it maintains for the Fund
are the property of the Fund and the Subadviser will surrender promptly
to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund's request, provided however
that the Subadviser may retain a copy of such records. The Subadviser
further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 of
the Commission under the 1940 Act any such records as are required to be
maintained by it pursuant to paragraph 1(a) hereof.
2. The Manager shall continue to have responsibility for all services to
be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and shall
oversee and review the Subadviser's performance of its duties under this
Agreement.
3. The Manager shall pay the Subadviser at the annual rate of .375 of 1%
of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $1 billion and .333 of 1% of
average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion for furnishing the
services described in paragraph 1 hereof.
4. The Subadviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for
any loss suffered by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the Subadviser's
part in the performance of its duties or from its reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
5. This Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of more than two
years from the date hereof only so long as such continuance is
specifically approved at least annually in conformity with the
requirements of the 1940 Act; provided, however, that this Agreement may
be terminated by the Fund at
4

any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors
of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities
(as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Fund, or by the Manager or the
Subadviser at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on not more
than 60 days' nor less than 30 days' written notice to the other party.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) or upon the termination of the
Management Agreement.
6. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any of
the Subadviser's directors, officers, or employees who may also be a
director, officer or employee of the Fund to engage in any other business
or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or
other aspects of any business, whether of a similar or a dissimilar
nature, nor limit or restrict the Subadviser's right to engage in any
other business or to render services of any kind to any other
corporation, firm, individual or association.
7. During the term of this Agreement, the Manager agrees to furnish the
Subadviser at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements,
reports to stockholders, sales literature or other material prepared for
distribution to stockholders of the Fund or the public, which refer to
the Subadviser in any way, prior to use thereof and not to use material
if the Subadviser reasonably objects in writing five business days (or
such other time as may be mutually agreed) after receipt thereof. Sales
literature may be furnished to the Subadviser hereunder by first-class or
overnight mail, facsimile transmission equipment or hand delivery.
