New Issue: UBS prices $100,000 trigger phoenix autocallables linked to MetLife

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 26 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $100,000 of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Sept. 4, 2012 linked to MetLife Inc. shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If MetLife stock closes at or above the trigger price - 60% of the initial share price - on a monthly observation date, the issuer will pay an annualized contingent coupon of 23.59% for that month.

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

The payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon if the notes are not called and the MetLife share price finishes at or above the trigger price. If the shares finish below the trigger, investors will be exposed to the decline from the initial share price.

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