New Issue: UBS prices $6.26 million notes with contingent protection linked to index basket

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, March 28 - UBS AG priced a $6.26 million issue of 0% performance securities with contingent protection due March 29, 2013 linked to a basket of six indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 40% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 25% weight, the Nikkei 225 index with a 20% weight, the Swiss Market index with a 5% weight, the S&P/ASX 200 index with a 5% weight and the MSCI Emerging Markets index with a 5% weight.

If the final basket level is at least the initial level, the payout will be par plus 132% of any basket gain.

If the final return is negative and the basket closes below its trigger level - 50% of its initial level - on any day during the life of the notes, the payout at maturity will be par times the index performance.

If the final return is negative and the basket stays at or above the trigger level, the payout will be par.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Investment Bank will be the underwriters.
