New Issue: UBS prices $502,000 trigger step performance notes on BRIC currencies

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, April 25 - UBS AG, Jersey Branch priced $502,000 of 0% trigger step performance securities due April 24, 2015 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 29% and the basket return.

If the basket return is negative and the final basket level is greater than or equal to the 85% 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.
