New Issue: UBS prices $157,000 trigger phoenix optimization autocallables linked to General Motors

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, July 23 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $157,000 of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due July 25, 2017 linked to the common stock of General Motors Co., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the price of General Motors stock closes at or above the trigger price - 60% of the initial share price - on any monthly observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon of 9% per year. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that interest period.

If the share price is greater than or equal to the initial price on any observation date after one year, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes are not called and the General Motors share price finishes at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the share price decline.

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