New Issue: UBS prices $100,000 trigger phoenix autocallables linked to Petrobras

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Sept. 27 - UBS AG, London Branch priced $100,000 of trigger phoenix autocallable optimization securities due Oct. 4, 2012 linked to the American Depositary Shares of Petroleo Brasileiro SA, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If Petrobras ADSs close at or above the trigger price - 70% of the initial price - on any monthly observation date, the issuer will pay a contingent coupon of 22.57% per year. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that interest period.

If the closing ADS price is greater than or equal to the initial price on any of the observation dates, the notes will be called at par of $10 plus the contingent coupon.

If the notes are not called and Petrobras ADSs 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 decline from the initial price.

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