New Issue: UBS prices $595,000 5% trigger yield optimization notes linked to real

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 20 - UBS AG, Jersey Branch priced $595,000 of trigger yield optimization notes due June 21, 2012 linked to the performance of the Brazilian real relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The three-month notes carry a coupon of 5% per year. Interest is payable at maturity.

The payout at maturity will be par of $10 if the final spot rate is at least 92% of the initial spot rate. The spot rate will increase if the real appreciates relative to the dollar.

If the final spot rate is less than 92% of the initial spot rate, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the real depreciates relative to the dollar.

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