By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Jan. 25 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $100,500 of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Feb. 1, 2013 linked to the common stock of Morgan Stanley, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Morgan Stanley stock closes at or above the trigger price - 70% of the initial share price - on an observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon for that interest period at the rate of 19.51% per year. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid that interest period. The observation dates occur quarterly.

If the shares close 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 Morgan Stanley shares finish at or above the trigger price, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent coupon. Otherwise, investors will be exposed to the share price decline from the initial price.

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