New Issue: UBS prices $4.38 million trigger step performance notes tied to BRIC currencies

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Feb. 28 - UBS AG, Jersey Branch priced $4.38 million 0% trigger step performance securities due Aug. 29, 2014 linked to the performance of a basket of currencies relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes equal weights of the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee and Russian ruble. The basket return will be positive if the basket currencies have strengthened relative to the dollar overall.

If the basket return is zero or positive, the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the greater of the step return of 19% and the basket return.

If the basket return is negative and the final basket level is greater than or equal to the 90% trigger level, the payout will be par.

If the basket return is negative and the final basket level is less than the trigger level, investors will be fully exposed to the basket's decline from its initial level.

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