By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 15 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $1 million of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Dec. 20, 2012 linked to Itau Unibanco Holdings SA American Depositary Shares, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the ADS price of Itau Unibanco closes at or above the trigger price - 60% of the initial share price - on any of four quarterly observation dates, the notes will pay a contingent coupon of 10.4% annualized for that period.

If the Itau Unibanco ADS price closes at or above the initial price on an observation date, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes are not called and Itau Unibanco shares finish at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon.
