Tacoma, Wash., June 11 – UBS AG, London Branch plans to price 0% trigger step performance securities due June 29, 2018 linked to the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The step return is expected to be 19% to 25% and will be set at pricing. Investors will receive par if the ETF falls by up to 20% and will be fully exposed to losses from the initial share price if it falls by more than 20%.

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

The notes are expected to price June 25 and settle June 30.
