By Toni Weeks

San Diego, July 15 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $174,000 of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due July 23, 2012 linked to the common stock of SanDisk Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the price of SanDisk stock closes at or above the trigger price - 65% of the initial share price - on any monthly observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon of 16.14% per year. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that month.
