By Jennifer Chiou

New York, May 9 - UBS AG priced a $50 million long issue of 0% exchange-traded access securities (E-Tracs) due May 14, 2018 linked to the UBS Bloomberg CMCI Platinum Excess Return, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The index is a sub-index of the UBS Bloomberg Constant Maturity Commodity index and measures the collateralized returns from platinum futures contracts.

The payout at maturity will be par of $25 times the index performance minus a fee equal to 0.65% per year.

UBS may call the securities on any trading day on or after May 13, 2013 through May 14, 2018. Holders will receive the redemption amount, which is calculated in the same manner as the payout at maturity.
