As disclosed in more detail in the applicable prospectus
supplement(s) for the ETNs, the market value of the ETNs may be
influenced by, among other things, supply and demand for the ETNs.
It is possible that the discontinuance of further issuances of the
ETNs by UBS AG may influence the market value of the ETNs. The
suspension of new issuances of the ETNs could affect the liquidity
of the market for the ETNs, potentially leading to insufficient
supply and causing the ETNs to trade at a premium above their
closing or intraday indicative value. Any such premium may
subsequently decrease at any time and for any reason without
warning, resulting in financial loss to sellers who paid this
premium when they acquired their ETNs. In addition, on the
applicable Call Settlement Date, holders will receive the Call
Settlement Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, as described
in each applicable prospectus supplement but will not receive any
premium thereto. Accordingly, investors who purchase the ETNs at
any time prior to the Call Settlement Date for an amount that is
greater than the Call Settlement Amount or Redemption Amount, as
applicable (including paying any premium to the indicative value of
the ETNs), will suffer a loss on their investment if they hold
their ETNs until the Call Settlement Date.
If investors elect to redeem any such ETNs, any redemption will
be at the redemption value set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement(s) and will not include any premium above that value.
Investors should always consult their financial advisors and
compare the intraday indicative value of the ETNs with the ETNs’
then-prevailing market price before purchasing or selling any such
ETNs, especially notes with premium characteristics. The applicable
prospectus supplement(s) for the ETNs can be accessed by clicking
on the name of the ETN identified in the table above as well as on
the SEC's website at sec.gov.
This announcement does not affect the terms of the outstanding
ETNs, including the right of holders to require UBS AG to redeem
their ETNs on the terms and at the redemption price set forth in
the applicable prospectus supplement(s). This news release shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these ETNs in any
state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
