New Issue: UBS prices $8.14 million contingent income autocallables linked to Wells Fargo

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 28 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $8.14 million of contingent income autocallable securities due Aug. 28, 2015 linked to the common stock of Wells Fargo & Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Wells Fargo stock closes at or above the downside threshold level - 75% of the initial share price - on a quarterly determination date, investors will receive a contingent payment of $0.26 for each $10.00 note. Otherwise, no contingent payment will be made for that period. The contingent payment is equivalent to 10.4% per year.

If the closing share price is greater than or equal to the initial share price on any of the first 11 quarterly determination dates, the notes will be automatically redeemed at par plus the contingent payment.

If the notes are not called and the final share price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent payment. If the final share price is less than the downside threshold level, the payout will be a number of Wells Fargo shares equal to $10.00 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer's option, a cash amount equal to the value of those shares.

UBS Securities LLC is the agent. Distribution is through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC.
