New Issue: UBS prices $21.39 million contingent income autocallables on Blackstone

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., July 6 – UBS AG, London Branch priced $21.39 million of contingent income autocallable securities due June 29, 2018 linked to the common units of Blackstone Group LP, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Blackstone units close at or above the downside threshold level, 80% of the initial unit price, on a quarterly determination date, the notes will pay a contingent payment that quarter at an annualized rate of 9.2%.

The notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon if Blackstone units close at or above the initial unit price on any of the first 11 quarterly determination dates.

If the final unit price is greater than or equal to the downside threshold level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will receive a number of Blackstone units equal to $10 divided by the initial unit price or, at the issuer’s option, a cash amount equal to the value of those units.

UBS Securities LLC is the agent. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC is handling distribution.
