New Issue: UBS prices $1 million trigger phoenix callable notes on three indexes

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Oct. 23 – UBS AG, London Branch priced $1 million of trigger phoenix callable optimization securities due Oct. 28, 2024 linked to the Euro Stoxx 50 index, the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If each index closes at or above its barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on a quarterly observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon for that quarter at the rate of 8.75% per year. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid that quarter.

After three years, the notes are callable on any quarterly observation date at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon, if any.

If the notes are not called, the payout will be par plus the contingent coupon unless any index finishes below its trigger level, 50% of the initial level, in which case investors will be exposed to the decline of the worst-performing index from its initial level.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and UBS Investment Bank are the underwriters.
