By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Jan. 14 – UBS AG, London Branch priced $1.55 million trigger phoenix callable optimization securities due Jan. 15, 2025 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.76% if each index finishes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on an observation date for that quarter.

A trigger event will occur if either index finishes below its 50% trigger level.

If each index finishes at or above its coupon barrier, the payout at maturity will be par plus the coupon.

If each index finishes below its coupon barrier but at or above the trigger level, the payout will be par.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index.

The notes are callable at par plus the coupon on any quarterly observation date.

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