Key
Dangers

within the Notes shouldn’t be equal to a hypothetical funding within the underlying asset. Among the key dangers that apply to the Notes are
summarized beneath, however we urge you to learn the extra detailed clarification of dangers regarding the Notes within the “Danger Elements”
part of the accompanying product complement. We additionally urge you to seek the advice of your funding, authorized, tax, accounting and different advisors
regarding an funding within the Notes.
Dangers Regarding Return Traits
¨ | Danger of loss at maturity — The Notes differ from peculiar debt securities in that UBS won’t essentially make periodic coupon funds or repay the total principal quantity of the Notes at maturity. If the Notes usually are not topic to an automated name and the ultimate degree is lower than the draw back threshold, you’ll lose a share of your principal quantity equal to the underlying return and in excessive conditions, you possibly can lose your whole preliminary funding. |
¨ | The acknowledged payout from the issuer applies provided that you maintain your Notes to maturity — Try to be prepared to carry your Notes to maturity. If you’ll be able to promote your Notes previous to an automated name or maturity within the secondary market, you could have to promote them at a loss relative to your preliminary funding even when the extent of the underlying asset at such time is the same as or larger than the draw back threshold. All funds on the Notes are topic to the creditworthiness of UBS. |
¨ | You could not obtain any contingent coupons with respect to your Notes — UBS won’t essentially make periodic coupon funds on the Notes. If the closing degree of the underlying asset is lower than the coupon barrier on an commentary date, UBS won’t pay you the contingent coupon relevant to such commentary date. If the closing degree of the underlying asset is lower than the coupon barrier on every commentary date, UBS won’t pay you any contingent coupons in the course of the time period of, and you’ll not obtain a optimistic return on, your Notes. Typically, this non-payment of the contingent coupon coincides with a interval of larger danger of principal loss in your Notes. |
¨ | Your potential return on the Notes is proscribed to any contingent coupons, you’ll not take part in any appreciation of the underlying asset and you’ll not obtain dividend funds on the underlying asset or have the identical rights as holders of the underlying asset — The return potential of the Notes is proscribed to the pre-specified contingent coupon price, whatever the appreciation of the underlying asset. As well as, your return on the Notes will fluctuate based mostly on the variety of commentary dates, if any, on which the necessities of the contingent coupon have been met previous to maturity or an automated name. As a result of the Notes could also be topic to an automated name as early as the primary potential name settlement date, the overall return on the Notes might be lower than if the Notes remained excellent till maturity. Additional, if the Notes are topic to an automated name, you’ll not obtain any contingent coupons or some other cost in respect of any coupon cost date after the decision settlement date, and your return on the Notes might be lower than if the Notes remained excellent till maturity. Consequently, the return on an funding within the Notes might be lower than the return on a hypothetical funding within the underlying asset. As well as, as an proprietor of the Notes, you’ll not obtain or be entitled to obtain any dividend funds or different distributions on the underlying asset in the course of the time period of the Notes, and any such dividends or distributions won’t be factored into the calculation of any funds in your Notes. Equally, you’ll not have voting rights or some other rights of a holder of the underlying asset. |
¨ | A better contingent coupon price or decrease draw back threshold or coupon barrier might mirror larger anticipated volatility of the underlying asset, and larger anticipated volatility usually signifies an elevated danger of loss at maturity — The financial phrases for the Notes, together with the contingent coupon price, coupon barrier and draw back threshold, are based mostly, partially, on the anticipated volatility of the underlying asset on the time the phrases of the Notes are set. “Volatility” refers back to the frequency and magnitude of adjustments within the degree of the underlying asset. The larger the anticipated volatility of the underlying asset as of the commerce date, the larger the expectation is as of that date that the closing degree of the underlying asset might be much less than the coupon barrier on the commentary dates and that the ultimate degree might be lower than the draw back threshold and, as a consequence, signifies an elevated danger of not receiving a contingent coupon and an elevated danger of loss, respectively. All issues being equal, this larger anticipated volatility will usually be mirrored in the next contingent coupon price than the yield payable on our typical debt securities with the same maturity or on in any other case comparable securities, and/or a decrease draw back threshold and/or coupon barrier than these phrases on in any other case comparable securities. Subsequently, a comparatively increased contingent coupon price might point out an elevated danger of loss. Additional, a comparatively decrease draw back threshold and/or coupon barrier might not essentially point out that the Notes have a larger chance of a return of principal at maturity and/or paying contingent coupons. Try to be prepared to simply accept the draw back market danger of the underlying asset and the potential to lose a good portion or your whole preliminary funding. |
¨ | Reinvestment danger — The Notes will likely be topic to an automated name if the closing degree of the underlying asset is the same as or larger than the decision threshold degree on sure commentary dates prior to the ultimate valuation date, as set forth beneath “Statement Dates and Coupon Fee Dates“ herein. As a result of the decision threshold degree is lower than the preliminary degree, the Notes will likely be topic to an automated name except the closing degree of the underlying asset declines to lower than the decision threshold degree on every commentary date. As a result of the Notes might be topic to an automated name as early as the primary potential name settlement date, the time period of your funding could also be restricted. Within the occasion that the Notes are topic to an automated name, there isn’t any assure that you’d be capable of reinvest the proceeds at a comparable price of return and/or with a comparable contingent coupon price for the same degree of danger. As well as, to the extent you’ll be able to reinvest such proceeds in an funding corresponding to the Notes, it’s possible you’ll incur transaction prices resembling supplier reductions and hedging prices constructed into the worth of the brand new securities. Typically, nonetheless, the longer the Notes stay excellent, the much less doubtless the Notes will likely be topic to an automated name as a result of decline of the extent of the underlying asset and the shorter time remaining for the extent of the underlying asset to recuperate. Such durations usually coincide with a interval of larger danger of principal loss in your Notes. |

Estimated Worth Concerns
¨ | The difficulty value you pay for the Notes exceeds their estimated preliminary worth — The difficulty value you pay for the Notes exceeds their estimated preliminary worth as of the commerce date as a result of inclusion within the concern value of the underwriting low cost, hedging prices, issuance and different prices and projected earnings. As of the shut of the related markets on the commerce date, we now have decided the estimated preliminary worth of the Notes by reference to our inside pricing fashions and it’s set forth on this pricing complement. The pricing fashions used to find out the estimated preliminary worth of the Notes incorporate sure variables, together with the extent and volatility of the underlying asset, any anticipated dividends on the underlying asset, prevailing rates of interest, the time period of the Notes and our inside funding price. Our inside funding price is usually decrease than the speed we’d pay to concern typical fastened or floating price debt securities of the same time period.

Traits

¨ | If UBS experiences monetary difficulties, FINMA has the facility to open restructuring or liquidation proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protecting measures in relation to, UBS, which proceedings or measures might have a cloth antagonistic impact on the phrases and market worth of the Notes and/or the power of UBS to make funds thereunder — The Swiss Monetary Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”) has broad statutory powers to take measures and actions in relation to UBS if (i) it concludes that there’s justified concern that UBS is over-indebted or has critical liquidity issues or (ii) UBS fails to satisfy the relevant capital adequacy necessities (whether or not on a standalone or consolidated foundation) after expiry of a deadline set by FINMA. If certainly one of these pre-requisites is met, FINMA is allowed to open restructuring proceedings or liquidation (chapter) proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protecting measures in relation to, UBS. The Swiss Banking Act grants important discretion to FINMA in reference to the aforementioned proceedings and measures. Particularly, a broad number of protecting measures could also be imposed by FINMA, together with a financial institution moratorium or a maturity postponement, which measures could also be ordered by FINMA both on a stand-alone foundation or in connection with restructuring or liquidation proceedings. The decision regime of the Swiss Banking Act is additional detailed in Ordinance of 30 August 2012 of FINMA on the Insolvency of Banks and Securities Sellers, as amended (the “Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance”). In restructuring proceedings, FINMA, as decision authority, is competent to approve the decision plan. The decision plan might, amongst different issues, present for (a) the switch of all or a portion of UBS’ property, money owed, different liabilities and contracts (which can or might not embody the contractual relationship between UBS and the holders of Notes) to a different entity, (b) a keep (for a most of two enterprise days) on the termination of contracts to which UBS is a celebration, and/or the train of (w) rights to terminate, (x) netting rights, (y) rights to implement or eliminate collateral or (z) rights to switch claims, liabilities or collateral beneath contracts to which UBS is a celebration, (c) the conversion of UBS’ debt and/or different obligations, together with its obligations beneath the Notes, into fairness (a “debt-to-equity” swap), and/or (d) the partial or full write-off of obligations owed by UBS (a “write-off”), together with its obligations beneath the Notes. The Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance supplies {that a} debt-to-equity swap and/or a write-off of debt and different obligations (together with the Notes) might happen solely after (i) all debt devices issued by UBS qualifying as extra tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital have been transformed into fairness or written-off, as relevant, and (ii) the present fairness of UBS has been totally cancelled. Whereas the Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance doesn’t expressly deal with the order through which a write-off of debt devices aside from debt devices qualifying as extra tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital ought to happen, it states that debt-to-equity swaps ought to happen within the following order: first, all subordinated claims not qualifying as regulatory capital; second, all different claims not excluded by legislation from a debt-to-equity swap (aside from deposits); and third, deposits (in extra of the quantity privileged by legislation). Nonetheless, given the broad discretion granted to FINMA because the decision authority, any restructuring plan in respect of UBS might present that the claims beneath or in reference to the Notes will likely be partially or totally transformed into fairness or written-off, whereas preserving different obligations of UBS that rank pari passu with, and even junior to, UBS’ obligations beneath the Notes. Consequently, the train of any such powers by FINMA or any suggestion of any such train might materially adversely have an effect on the rights of holders of the Notes, the value or worth of their funding within the Notes and/or the power of UBS to fulfill its obligations beneath the Notes and will result in holders shedding some or all of their funding within the Notes. Within the case of restructuring proceedings with respect to a systemically essential Swiss financial institution (resembling UBS), the collectors whose claims are affected by the restructuring plan won’t have a proper to vote on, reject, or search the suspension of the restructuring plan. As well as, if a restructuring plan has been authorised by FINMA, the rights of a creditor to hunt judicial evaluate of the restructuring plan (e.g., on the grounds that the plan would unduly prejudice the rights of holders of Notes or in any other case be in violation of the Swiss Banking Act) are very restricted. Particularly, a court docket might not droop the implementation of the restructuring plan. Moreover, even when a creditor efficiently challenges the restructuring plan, the court docket can solely require the related creditor to be compensated ex put up and there may be at present no steerage as to on what foundation such compensation can be calculated or how it will be funded. |

potential name settlement date (which is roughly 6 months after the commerce date), UBS pays you on the decision settlement date a
complete of $1,015.00 per Notice (reflecting your principal quantity plus the relevant contingent coupon). When added to the contingent coupon
of $15.00 obtained in respect of the prior commentary date, UBS may have paid you a complete of $1,030.00 per Notice, for a complete return

What
Are the Tax Penalties of the Notes?
The U.S. federal revenue tax penalties of your funding
within the Notes are unsure. There aren’t any statutory provisions, laws, printed rulings or judicial selections addressing the characterization
for U.S. federal revenue tax functions of securities with phrases which can be considerably the identical because the Notes. A few of these tax penalties

U.S. Tax Remedy. Pursuant to the phrases of the Notes,
UBS and also you agree, within the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative willpower or judicial ruling on the contrary,

Discover 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS launched a discover

the holder of an instrument such because the Notes needs to be required to accrue peculiar revenue on a present foundation. It isn’t attainable to find out
what steerage they’ll in the end concern, if any. It’s attainable, nonetheless, that beneath such steerage, holders of the Notes will in the end

are topic to U.S. withholding tax, or that one other withholding agent might in any other case decide that withholding is required, through which
case the opposite withholding agent might withhold as much as 30% on such funds (topic to discount or elimination of such withholding tax
pursuant to an relevant revenue tax treaty). We won’t pay any extra quantities in respect of such withholding. Topic to Part
897 of the Code, mentioned above, and Part 871(m) of the Code, mentioned beneath, acquire realized from the taxable disposition or maturity
of the Notes usually shouldn’t be topic to U.S. tax except (i) such acquire is successfully linked with a commerce or enterprise performed
by the non-U.S. holder within the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien particular person and is current within the U.S. for 183 days
or extra in the course of the taxable yr of such taxable disposition and sure different circumstances are happy or (iii) the non-U.S. holder has
sure different current or former connections with the U.S.
Part 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which can be
decreased by an relevant revenue tax treaty) is imposed beneath Part 871(m) of the Code on sure “dividend equivalents”
paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references a number of
dividend-paying U.S. fairness securities or indices containing U.S. fairness securities. The withholding tax can apply even when the instrument
doesn’t present for funds that reference dividends. Treasury laws present that the withholding tax applies to all dividend
equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked devices which have a delta of 1 (“delta-one specified equity-linked
devices”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all different specified equity-linked devices
issued after 2018. Nonetheless, the IRS has issued steerage that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the efficient dates
of the Treasury laws to supply that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid won’t apply to specified equity-linked
devices that aren’t delta-one specified equity-linked devices and are issued earlier than January 1, 2023.
Primarily based on our willpower that the Notes usually are not “delta-one”
with respect to the underlying asset, our particular U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the Notes shouldn’t be delta-one specified
equity-linked devices and thus shouldn’t be topic to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our willpower shouldn’t be binding on the
IRS, and the IRS might disagree with this willpower. Moreover, the appliance of Part 871(m) of the Code will rely on our determinations
on the date the phrases of the Notes are set. If withholding is required, we won’t make funds of any extra quantities.
Nonetheless, after the date the phrases are set, it’s attainable
that your Notes might be deemed to be reissued for tax functions upon the incidence of sure occasions affecting the underlying asset or
your Notes, and following such incidence your Notes might be handled as delta-one specified equity-linked devices which can be topic
to withholding on dividend equivalents. It’s also attainable that withholding tax or different tax beneath Part 871(m) of the Code might apply
to the Notes beneath these guidelines if a non-U.S. holder enters, or has entered, into sure different transactions in respect of the underlying
asset or the Notes. A non-U.S. holder that enters, or has entered, into different transactions in respect of the underlying asset or the Notes
ought to seek the advice of its tax advisor concerning the appliance of Part 871(m) of the Code to its Notes within the context of its different transactions.
Due to the uncertainty concerning the appliance of
the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Notes, you might be urged to seek the advice of your tax advisor concerning the potential utility
of Part 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an funding within the Notes.

Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable

be eligible for refunds or credit of such taxes.

different IRS steerage, the withholding and reporting necessities beneath FATCA will usually apply to sure “withholdable funds”,
won’t apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and can apply to sure international passthru funds solely to the extent that
such funds are made after the date that’s two years after ultimate laws defining the time period “international passthru cost”
are printed. If withholding is required, we (or the relevant paying agent) won’t be required to pay extra quantities with respect
to the quantities so withheld. Overseas monetary establishments and non-financial international entities situated in jurisdictions which have an intergovernmental
settlement with the U.S. governing FATCA could also be topic to completely different guidelines.

of FATCA, particularly if they could be labeled as monetary establishments (or in the event that they maintain their Notes via a international entity) beneath
the FATCA guidelines.
