Amendment No. 2 dated November 14, 2014* to

PRICING SUPPLEMENT dated May 22, 2012

(To Product Supplement dated November 14, 2014 and

Prospectus dated November 14, 2014)

$100,000,000 ETRACS Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged Dow Jones Select Dividend Index ETN due May 22, 2042

The ETRACS Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged Dow Jones Select Dividend Index ETN due May 22, 2042 (the “Securities”) are a series of Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged Exchange Traded Access Securities (ETRACS) linked to the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM (the “Index”). The Securities are senior unsecured debt securities issued by UBS AG (UBS). The Securities provide a monthly compounded two times leveraged long exposure to the performance of the Index, reduced by the Accrued Fees. Because the Securities are two times leveraged with respect to the Index, the Securities may benefit from two times any positive, but will be exposed to two times any negative, monthly compounded performance of the Index. The Securities may pay a monthly coupon during their term linked to two times the cash distributions, if any, on the Index Constituent Securities. But if the Index Constituent Securities do not make any cash distributions, you will not receive a monthly coupon. You will receive a cash payment at maturity, upon acceleration or upon exercise by UBS of its Call Right based on the monthly compounded leveraged performance of the Index less the Accrued Fees, calculated as described in the accompanying product supplement. You will receive a cash payment upon early redemption based on the monthly compounded leveraged performance of the Index less the Accrued Fees and the Redemption Fee, calculated as described in the accompanying product supplement. Payment at maturity or call, upon acceleration or upon early redemption will be subject to the creditworthiness of UBS. In addition, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of UBS will affect the market value, if any, of the Securities prior to maturity, call, acceleration or early redemption. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal at maturity, early redemption, acceleration or upon exercise by UBS of its call right if the monthly compounded leveraged return of the Index is not sufficient to offset the negative effect of the Accrued Fees and the Redemption Fee, if applicable. You may not receive any monthly coupon payment during the term of the Securities.

The general terms of the Monthly Pay 2xLeveraged ETRACS are described in the accompanying product supplement under the heading “General Terms of the Securities”, beginning on page S-32 of the product supplement. These general terms include, among others, the manner in which any payments on the Securities will be calculated, such as the Cash Settlement Amount at Maturity, the Redemption Amount, the Call Settlement Amount or the Acceleration Amount, as applicable, and the Coupon Amount, if any. These general terms are supplemented and/or modified by the specific terms of the Securities listed below. If there is any inconsistency between the terms described in the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and those described in this pricing supplement, the terms described in this pricing supplement will be controlling. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings specified in the accompanying product supplement.

Risk Factors

Your investment in the Securities will involve significant risks. The Securities are not secured debt and are significantly riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the return on the Securities is linked to the performance of the Index. The Securities are two times leveraged with respect to the Index and, as a result, may benefit from two times any positive, but will be exposed to two times any negative, monthly performance of the Index. As described in more detail below, the trading price of the Securities may vary considerably before the Maturity Date, due to events that are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index Constituent Securities (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) or the Index itself. We urge you to read the following information about these risks as well as the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement and “Considerations Relating to Indexed Securities” in the accompanying prospectus, together with the other information in this pricing supplement, the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before investing in the Securities.

UBS and its affiliates have no affiliation with the Index Sponsor and are not responsible for its public disclosure of information.

We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the Index Sponsor (except for licensing arrangements discussed under “The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM — Licensing Agreement”) and have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure regarding methods or policies relating to the calculation of the Index. If the Index Sponsor discontinues or suspends the calculation of the Index, it may become difficult to determine the market value of the Securities and the payment at maturity or call, upon acceleration or upon early redemption. The Calculation Agent may designate a successor index in its sole discretion. If the Calculation Agent determines in its sole discretion that no successor index comparable to the Index exists, the payment you receive at maturity or call, upon acceleration or upon early redemption will be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. See “General Terms of the Securities — Market Disruption Event” and “ — Calculation Agent” in the accompanying product supplement. The Index Sponsor is not involved in the offer of the Securities in any way and has no obligation to consider your interest as an owner of the Securities in taking any actions that might affect the market value of your Securities.

We have derived the information about the Index Sponsor and the Index from publicly available information, without independent verification. Neither we nor any of our affiliates assume any responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the information about the Index Sponsor or the Index contained in this pricing supplement. You, as an investor in the Securities, should make your own independent investigation into the Index Sponsor and the Index.

Market disruption events may require an adjustment to the calculation of the Index.

At any time during the term of the Securities, the intraday and daily calculations of the level of the Index may be adjusted in the event that the Index Calculation Agent determines that there has been an unscheduled market closure for any of the Index Constituent Securities. Any such Index calculation disruption event may have an adverse impact on the level of the Index or the manner in which it is calculated and, therefore, may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Securities.

The Securities may trade at a substantial premium to or discount from the intraday indicative value.

The market value of the Securities is influenced by many unpredictable factors, some of which may cause the price at which the Securities can be sold in the secondary market to vary substantially from the intraday indicative value that is calculated and disseminated throughout trading hours. For example, if UBS were to suspend sales of the Securities for any reason, the liquidity of the market for the Securities

 

PS-1

Risk Factors

 

 

could be affected, potentially leading to insufficient supply, causing the market price of the Securities to increase. Such an increase could represent a premium over the intraday indicative value. Conversely, unpredictable factors could cause the Securities to trade at a discount from the intraday indicative value, which may result in a loss of your investment if you sell your Securities in the secondary market.

If UBS were to be subject to restructuring proceedings, the market value of the Securities may be adversely affected.

Under certain circumstances, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has the power to open restructuring or liquidation proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protective measures in relation to, UBS, which proceedings or measures may have a material adverse effect on the terms and market value of the Securities and/or the ability of UBS to make payments thereunder. Pursuant to article 25 et seq. of the Swiss Banking Act, FINMA has broad statutory powers to take measures and actions in relation to UBS if it (i) is overindebted, (ii) has serious liquidity problems or (iii) fails to fulfill the applicable capital adequacy provisions after expiration of a deadline set by FINMA. If one of these prerequisites is met, FINMA is authorized to open restructuring proceedings (Sanierungsverfahren) or liquidation (bankruptcy) proceedings (Bankenkonkurs) in respect of, and/or impose protective measures (Schutzmassnahmen) in relation to, UBS. The Swiss Banking Act, as last amended as of January 1, 2013, grants significant discretion to FINMA in connection with the aforementioned proceedings and measures. In particular, a broad variety of protective measures may be imposed by FINMA, including a bank moratorium (Stundung) or a maturity postponement (Fälligkeitsaufschub), which measures may be ordered by FINMA either on a stand-alone basis or in connection with restructuring or liquidation proceedings. In a restructuring proceeding, the resolution plan may, among other things, (a) provide for the transfer of UBS’s assets or a portion thereof, together with debts and other liabilities, and contracts of UBS, to another entity, (b) provide for the conversion of UBS’s debt and/or other obligations, including its obligations under the Securities, into equity, and/or (c) potentially provide for haircuts on obligations of UBS, including its obligations under the Securities. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, there are no precedents as to what impact the revised regime would have on the rights of holders of the Securities or the ability of UBS to make payments thereunder if one or several of the measures under the revised insolvency regime were imposed in connection with a resolution of UBS.

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain.

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain. We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding the tax treatment of the Securities, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement. Please read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page PS-16. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.

The IRS released a notice in 2007 that may affect the taxation of holders of the Securities. According to the notice, the IRS and the Treasury Department are actively considering, among other things, whether holders of instruments such as the Securities should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, whether any gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, should be applied to such instruments. Similarly, the IRS and the Treasury Department have current projects open with regard to the tax treatment of pre-paid forward contracts and contingent notional principal contracts. While it is impossible to anticipate how any ultimate guidance would affect the tax treatment of instruments such as the Securities (and while any such guidance may be issued on a prospective basis only), such guidance could be applied retroactively and could in any case increase the likelihood that you will be required to accrue income over the term of an instrument such as the Securities. The outcome of this process is uncertain.

Risk Factors

 

 

Furthermore, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if enacted, would have required holders of the Securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Securities despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Securities. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future and whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Securities.

Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance and the potential impact of the above considerations. We intend to treat your Securities for United States federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page PS-16 unless and until such time as there is a change in law or the Treasury Department or IRS determines that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Hypothetical Examples

The following four examples illustrate how the Securities would perform at maturity or call, or upon early redemption, in hypothetical circumstances. We have included an example in which the Index Closing Level increases at a constant rate of 3.00% per month for twelve months (Example 1), as well as an example in which the Index Closing Level decreases at a constant rate of 3.00% per month for twelve months (Example 2). In addition, Example 3 shows the Index Closing Level increasing by 3.00% per month for the first six months and then decreasing by 3.00% per month for the next six months, whereas Example 4 shows the reverse scenario of the Index Closing Level decreasing by 3.00% per month for the first six months, and then increasing by 3.00% per month for the next six months. For ease of analysis and presentation, the following four examples assume that the term of the Securities is twelve months, the last Trading Day of the Call Measurement Period, or the Redemption Valuation Date, occurs on the month end, that no acceleration upon minimum indicative value has occurred, no Coupon Amount has been paid during the term of the Securities and that no Stub Reference Distribution Amount was paid at maturity, call upon acceleration or upon early redemption.

The following assumptions are used in each of the four examples:

 

  Ø  

the initial level for the Index is 400;

 

  Ø  

the Redemption Fee Rate is 0.125%;

 

  Ø  

the Financing Rate (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) is 0.90%;

 

  Ø  

the Current Principal Amount (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) on the first day is $25.00; and

 

  Ø  

the Annual Tracking Rate (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) is 0.35%.

The examples highlight the effect of two times leverage and monthly compounding, and the impact of the Accrued Fees (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) on the payment at maturity or call, or upon early redemption, under different circumstances. The assumed Financing Rate is not an indication of the Financing Rate throughout the term of the Securities. The Financing Rate will change during the term of the Securities, which will affect the performance of the Securities.

Because the Accrued Fees take into account the monthly performance of the Index, as measured by the Index Closing Level, the absolute level of the Accrued Fees is dependent on the path taken by the Index Closing Level to arrive at its ending level. The figures in these examples have been rounded for convenience. The Cash Settlement Amount figures for month twelve are as of the hypothetical Calculation Date, and given the indicated assumptions, a holder will receive payment at maturity in the indicated amount, according to the indicated formula.

Hypothetical Examples

 

 

You may receive Coupon Amounts during the term of the Securities and a Stub Reference Distribution Amount at maturity, call, acceleration or upon early redemption. The hypothetical returns displayed in all of the examples above do not reflect any Coupon Amounts you may be entitled to receive during the term of the Securities or any Stub Reference Distribution Amount you may be entitled to receive at maturity, call, acceleration or upon early redemption. If any Stub Reference Distribution Amount was paid at maturity or call, or upon early redemption, the hypothetical Cash Settlement Amounts, Call Settlement Amounts or Redemption Amounts displayed above would have been higher (as the Cash Settlement Amounts, Call Settlement Amounts or Redemption Amounts would have been increased by the Stub Reference Distribution Amount). If any net cash distributions were paid on the Index Constituent Securities during the term of the Securities, those distributions would also offset the Accrued Fees.

We cannot predict the actual Index Closing Level on any Trading Day or the market value of your Securities, nor can we predict the relationship between the Index Closing Level and the market value of your Securities at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The actual amount that a holder of the Securities will receive at maturity or call, upon acceleration or upon early redemption, as the case may be, and the rate of return on the Securities, will depend on the monthly compounded leveraged return of the Index, and, if positive, whether it will be sufficient to offset the negative effect of the Accrued Fees over the relevant period and, if applicable, the Redemption Fee, whether any Coupon Amounts were paid during the term of the Securities and whether any Stub Reference Distribution Amount is payable at maturity or call, or upon early redemption or acceleration. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based are purely for illustrative purposes. Consequently, the amount, in cash, to be paid in respect of your Securities, if any, on the Maturity Date, Call Settlement Date, Acceleration Settlement Date or the relevant Redemption Date, as applicable, may be very different from the information reflected in the tables above.

The hypothetical examples above are provided for purposes of information only. The hypothetical examples are not indicative of the future performance of the Index on any Trading Day, the Index Valuation Level, or what the value of your Securities may be. Fluctuations in the hypothetical examples may be greater or less than fluctuations experienced by the holders of the Securities. The performance data shown above is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual or expected future performance of the Securities.

The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM

We have derived all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM, including, without limitation, its make-up, performance, method of calculation and changes in its constituents, from publicly available sources, which are summarized but not incorporated by reference herein, including the “ Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM Methodology” published by Dow Jones Indexes (“Dow Jones” or the “Index Sponsor”), which is available at www.djindexes.com. Such information reflects the policies of and is subject to change by the Index Sponsor. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. The composition of the Index is determined, maintained and published by the Index Sponsor and the intraday index value is calculated and published by the Index Sponsor. The Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the Index. Daily closing index levels are available at www.djindexes.com.

Introduction

The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM represents the country’s top stocks by dividend yield, selected annually and subject to screening and buffering criteria. The Index is weighted by indicated annual dividend of its components and the weight of any individual company is restricted to 10%. The Index is a price return index (i.e., the reinvestment of dividends is not reflected in the Index). As of September 30, 2014, the Index was comprised of 100 Index Constituent Securities with the largest Index Constituent Security weighted at 4.06% and the smallest Index Constituent Security weighted at 0.14%. Updated weightings of the Index Constituent Securities in the Index are available at www.djindexes.com.

Constituent Selection

In order for a company to be eligible for selection in the Index, it must (i) be a dividend-paying company in the Dow Jones U.S. IndexSM that has a non-negative historical five-year dividend-per-share growth rate; (ii) have a five-year average dividend to earnings-per-share ratio of less than or equal to 60%; (iii) have paid dividends in each of the previous five years and (iv) have a three-month average trading volume of 200,000 shares. Current Index components are eligible for selection regardless of their payout ratio or trading volume.

In the annual December Index composition review, companies that are eligible for selection in the Index are ranked as follows:

 

  1. Issues are ranked in descending order of indicated annual yield, defined as a stock’s indicated annual dividend (not including any special dividends) divided by its price.

 

  2. Any current component stock with a three-month average daily trading volume of less than 100,000 shares is deemed ineligible for selection.

 

  3. All remaining current component stocks ranked 200 and above on the December selection list are retained in the Index assuming they continue to meet all other eligibility requirements.

 

  4. Stocks that are not current components are added to the Index until the component count reaches 100.

Base Value and Date

The base value of the Index is 100 as of December 31, 1991. The Index was first calculated on November 3, 2003 (the “Index Commencement Date”).

Calculation of the Index

The Index is disseminated on each Trading Day to market data vendors every 15 seconds, beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and ending at 5:15 p.m., New York City time.

Constituent Weighting

A company’s weighting in the Index is based on its indicated annual dividend. The weight of any individual company is restricted to 10%. Such restrictions, when required, are implemented on a quarterly basis. In the event of a stock split affecting a component company, weighting factors are adjusted immediately to keep the component weights constant.

Constituent Review

Components with significant negative dividend growth or negative earnings from continuing operations over the past twelve-month period are reviewed to determine if the affected company can sustain an appropriate dividend program to remain in the Index. If the Dow Jones Indexes Oversight Committee determines the company’s dividend program is at significant risk, the company will be removed from the Index after the close of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September or December. The component will be replaced by the highest-ranking non-component on the most recently published selection list. Component changes resulting from the quarterly review process are announced approximately one week prior to the implementation date. Share factor calculations for all Index components are conducted only at the annual review in December. A company added to the Index during the March, June, September or December review will be included in the Index at a weight commensurate with its own indicated annual dividend.

Extraordinary Constituent Deletions

Under the following circumstances, a component stock is immediately removed from the Index, independent of the annual review:

 

  Ø  

The component company is affected by a corporate action such as a delisting or bankruptcy;

 

  Ø  

The component company eliminates its dividend; or

 

  Ø  

The component company lowers but does not eliminate its dividend, and its new yield is less than that of the lowest yielding non-component on the latest monthly selection list.

A component stock that is removed from the Index as the result of an extraordinary deletion is immediately replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list. The new stock is added to the Index at a weight commensurate with its own indicated annual dividend. A component company that is removed from the Dow Jones U.S. IndexSM during the course of the year because of a reduction in market capitalization will simultaneously be removed from the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend IndexSM.

Index Calculations

The Index is computed as follows:

 

LOGO

pi0 = the closing price of stock i at the base date

qi0 = the number of shares of company i at the base date

pit = the price of stock i at time (t)

qit = the number of shares of company i at time (t)

Ct = the adjustment factor for the base date market capitalization

Mt = market capitalization of the Index at time (t)

Bt = adjusted base date market capitalization of the Index at time (t)

The “Index Divisor” is used in the definition of “Reference Holder” in the accompanying product supplement.

Corporate Actions

In the event of a corporate action, the Index will be adjusted as follows:

 

  Ø  

Merger between two Index components (stock consideration): The target company is deleted from the Index and is replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list.

 

  Ø  

Merger between two Index components (cash and stock consideration): The target company is deleted from the Index and is replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list.

 

  Ø  

Merger between two Index components (cash consideration): The target company is deleted from the Index and is replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list.

 

  Ø  

Merger between non-component and Index component: The target company is deleted from the Index and is replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list.

 

  Ø  

Extraordinary deletion (bankruptcy, delisting): The target company is deleted from the Index and is replaced by the next-highest ranked stock by indicated annual yield as of the most recent monthly selection list.

 

  Ø  

Spin off: If an Index Constituent is restructured into two or more new companies, the new company is not added to the Index provided that the parent company maintains their dividends for the current-year.

If the dividend payment of the original company transfers from the parent to the child company, then the new company is added.

 

  Ø  

Stock Split/Stock Dividend/ Rights Offering: The weighting factor is adjusted based on ratio of the stock split/stock dividend to maintain the same weight for the company in the Index.

 

  Ø  

Special Cash Dividend: The price is adjusted by the amount of the special cash dividend on the ex-date. There will be no change to the weighting factor, resulting in a Divisor change.

Historical and Estimated Historical Performance

The estimated historical information for the period from the Base Date, January 1, 1992, to the Index Commencement Date is hypothetical and is provided as an illustration of how the Index would have performed during that period had the Index Calculation Agent begun calculating the Index on the Base Date using the methodology described above. The level of the Index is deemed to have been 100 on the Base Date. This data does not reflect actual performance, nor was a contemporaneous investment model run of the Index. Index historical information for the period from and after the Index Commencement Date is based on the actual performance of the Index.

Any historical and estimated historical upward or downward trend in value of the Index during any period shown below is not an indication that the value of the Index is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the Securities. The historical or estimated historical Index returns do not give an indication of the future performance of the Index. UBS cannot make any assurance that the future performance of the Index will result in holders of the Securities receiving a positive return on their investment.

The table below shows the historical performance of the Index from the Index Commencement Date through November 3, 2014 and the estimated historical performance of the Index from December 31, 1992 to the Index Commencement Date.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Securities are uncertain. The discussion below supplements the discussion under “U.S. Tax Considerations” in the accompanying prospectus and the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page S-50 of the accompanying product supplement and is subject to the assumptions, limitations and exceptions set forth therein. Except as otherwise noted under “Non-United States Holders” below, this discussion only applies to you if you are a United States holder, as that term is defined under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” on page S-50 of the accompanying product supplement.

In the opinion of our counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat the Securities as a coupon-bearing pre-paid derivative contract with respect to the Index and the terms of the Securities require you and us (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the Securities for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. Under that treatment, (i) you will likely be required to include the Coupon Amounts (including amounts received upon the sale or exchange of the Securities in respect of accrued but unpaid Coupon Amounts) and the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, in ordinary income at the time such amounts accrue or are received, in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting, and (ii) you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption or maturity of your Securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized (other than any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid Coupon Amounts, which will likely be treated as ordinary income) and the amount you paid for your Securities. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you held your Securities for more than one year. In general, your tax basis in your Securities will be equal to the price you paid for them. Capital gain of a non-corporate United States holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Your holding period for your Securities will generally begin on the date after the issue date (i.e., the settlement date) for your Securities and, if you hold your Securities until maturity, your holding period will generally include the maturity date.

Under the required tax treatment of the Securities set forth in the previous paragraph, the Coupon Amounts (including amounts received upon the sale or exchange of the Securities in respect of accrued but unpaid Coupon Amounts) and the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, will (i) not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to “qualified dividends”, notwithstanding that such amounts may be attributable to dividends on the Index Constituent Securities that would have been “qualified dividends” if the Index Constituent Securities had been held directly by an investor in the Securities, and (ii) in the case of a corporate holder of Securities, not be eligible for the dividends received deduction, notwithstanding that such amounts may be attributable to dividends on the Index Constituent Securities that would have been eligible for the dividends received deduction if the Index Constituent Securities had been held directly by a corporate investor in the Securities.

Alternative Treatments.    For a discussion of the possible alternative treatments of your Securities, please see the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments” on page S-51 of the accompanying product supplement.

If you are a non-United States holder, as that term is defined under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Non-United States Holders” on page S-54 of the accompanying product supplement, please see the discussion in that section regarding the tax treatment of a non-United States holder of the Securities, including the possibility that a non-United States holder of the Securities may be subject to tax at a rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) with respect to payments of the Coupon Amount, the Stub Reference Distribution Amount, if any, and any amount that the non-United States holder receives upon the sale or exchange of its Securities that is attributable to such amounts.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

On the Initial Trade Date, we sold $10,000,000 aggregate Principal Amount of Securities to UBS Securities LLC at 100% of their stated Principal Amount. After the Initial Trade Date, from time to time we may sell a portion of the Securities at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices. We will receive proceeds equal to 100% of the price at which the Securities are sold to the public, less any commissions paid to UBS Securities LLC. UBS Securities LLC may charge normal commissions in connection with any purchase or sale of the Securities and may receive a portion of the Annual Tracking Fee. Additional Securities may be offered and sold from time to time through UBS Securities LLC, as agent, to investors and to dealers acting as principals for resale to investors. We are not, however, obliged to, and may not, sell the full aggregate principal amount of the Securities. We may suspend or cease sales of the Securities at any time, at our discretion. Sales of the Securities after the Initial Trade Date will be made at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices. UBS will receive proceeds equal to 100% of the price at which the Securities are sold to the public less any commissions paid to UBS Securities LLC. UBS Securities LLC may charge normal commissions in connection with any purchase or sale of the Securities. For more information about the plan of distribution and possible market-making activities, see “Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying prospectus.

Broker-dealers may make a market in the Securities, although none of them are obligated to do so and any of them may stop doing so at any time without notice. This prospectus (including this pricing supplement, the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying prospectus) may be used by such dealers in connection with market- making transactions. In these transactions, dealers may resell a Security covered by this prospectus that they acquire from us or from other holders after the original offering and sale of the Securities, or they may sell a Security covered by this prospectus in short sale transactions.

As described in more detail under “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement, we or one of our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Securities. UBS and/or its affiliates may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to these swap or related hedge transactions.

Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some of their activities may result in their being deemed participants in the distribution of the Securities in a manner that would render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Among other activities, broker-dealers and other persons may make short sales of the Securities and may cover such short positions by borrowing Securities from UBS or its affiliates or by purchasing Securities from UBS or its affiliates subject to its obligation to repurchase such Securities at a later date. As a result of these activities, these market participants may be deemed statutory underwriters. A determination of whether a particular market participant is an underwriter must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the participant in the particular case, and the example mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that would lead to designation as an underwriter and subject a market participant to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. This prospectus will be deemed to cover any short sales of Securities by market participants who cover their short positions with Securities borrowed or acquired from us or our affiliates in the manner described above.

UBS reserves the right to pay a portion of the Annual Tracking Rate to UBS Securities LLC and certain broker-dealers in consideration for services relating to the Securities including, but not limited to, promotion and distribution.
