Morgantown, W.Va., June 4 – UBS AG, London Branch priced $150 million principal amount of reopened monthly pay 2x leveraged exchange-traded access securities due Nov. 10, 2048 linked to the Solactive US Small Cap High Dividend index, according to a 424B3 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The original $100 million of notes were priced on Nov. 8, 2018.
The notes pay a variable monthly coupon linked to two times the cash distributions, if any, made on the index constituents. If the index constituents do not make distributions, then investors will not receive any coupons.
The notes are putable, subject to a minimum of 50,000 notes and a redemption fee of 0.125%. They are callable in whole beginning on Nov. 15, 2018.
The notes are listed on the NYSE Arca under the symbol “SMHB.”
Index
The securities provide monthly compounded two times leveraged long exposure to the price return version of the Solactive US Small Cap High Dividend index.
The index is designed to measure the performance of 100 relatively small capitalization, dividend-yielding index constituent securities selected from a universe of qualifying U.S. listed stocks.
The weights of the index constituents are adjusted over time due to economic and business developments.
Payout
The payout at maturity will be the current principal amount plus 200% of the index return, which could be positive or negative, plus the final coupon amount minus the accrued fees, which are a tracking fee of 0.85% per year and a financing charge of Libor plus 80 basis points.
The current principal amount is $25 until the first monthly valuation date. For each subsequent calendar month, the current principal amount is reset to the previous current principal amount plus two times the index return on the monthly valuation date minus accrued fees on the monthly valuation date.
When calculating the index return, the final level will be the average of the index’s closing levels on the 10 business days ending on the final valuation date, and the initial level will be its closing level on the most recent monthly valuation date.
For each month, the monthly valuation date is the last business day of the previous calendar month.
