Product Description Underlying The UBS Tracker Certificate (the “Certificate”) is linked to the UBS Diversified Strategy EUR Total Return Index (the “Underlying” or “Index”). The Index consists of a basket of six individual underlying indices (the “Underlying Indices”). The Underlying Indices reflect the performance of systematic algorithm based strategies designed to capture uncorrelated trends or risk premia across various financial markets, including equities, commodities, currencies and fixed income. The Underlying Index weights have been determined to offer consistent risk profiles across the Index. The Underlying Strategies are implemented through liquid underlying futures contracts in each asset class. The Underlying Indices and the respective Underlying Strategies which the Underlying Indices track are the following:

CommPASS - The index reflects the performance of the UBS Comm-PASS (the “Comm-PASS Strategy”). UBS Commodities Portfolio Algorithmic Strategy System (“UBS Comm-PASS”) is a portfolio-based algorithmic strategy that exploits trending and counter-trending behaviour in Commodity Markets. Some commodities are expected to show trending behaviour, for example where there is a trend that the price of the commodity is rising and it is expected to keep rising for some time. Some commodities show counter-trending behaviour, for example if a trend of rising prices is identified in a commodity and as a result the price of that commodity is expected to fall and revert to its long term average price. The Comm-PASS Strategy

Valor: 11318117 ISIN: CH0113181173 Page 2/9 Final Terms

consists of a basket of positions on 19 commodities. For each commodity there is an independent strategy to decide when a trend has started. Each commodity in the basket is classified as trending or counter-trending and positions are taken on such commodities based on the identification of a trend for the commodity and its classification as trending or counter-trending. The Comm-PASS Strategy basket includes 19 futures markets from the five main commodity sectors: Energy, Precious Metals, Base Metals, Agriculture, and Livestock.

 BS GSI Index - The UBS GSI Index tracks the performance of a diversified basket of U four equally weighted trading strategies on gold. Each uses a fundamental economic driver of the gold price to predict changes and position to benefit from them. Each strategy has an associated economic driver. The drivers are (i) Real Interest Rates; (ii) Open Interest in Gold; (iii) Indian Gold Premium and (iv) Indications from Gold Mining Stocks. Depending on the signals from the above economic drivers, the UBS GSI Index takes positions in the front month contracts. If the signals have accurately predicted the movement of the gold future price, the level of the UBS GSI Index would have a positive performance; if the signals have not accurately predicted the movement, the level of the UBS GSI Index would have a negative performance.



STRAUS - The STRAUS Index is designed to identify trends in interest rate futures in five markets based on historic prices. The objective of the STRAUS Index is to make gains by benefitting from the trending nature of the short term interest rates. The strategy for the STRAUS Index aims to identify trends in short term interest rates and then take positions accordingly in the three-month interest rate futures to try and benefit from the identified trend. The five markets reflected in the STRAUS Index as of the Issue Date are U.S. Dollar, Euro, the British Pound, the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc. The STRAUS Index represents a trading strategy based on algorithmic principles and combines observations of near-term and longer-term price fluctuations in 3-month interest rate futures contracts in the markets reflected in the STRAUS Index with simulated purchases or sales, as applicable, of interest rate futures contracts in the relevant market(s) that are triggered when the observed futures price movements reach specified levels. The results of these simulated transactions, i.e. “gains” or “losses” are then calculated to determine the STRAUS Index level. The STRAUS Index was designed by UBS and is administered by UBS.



RADA- The UBS RADA Index (the “RADA reflects the performance of an algorithmic strategy that takes directional exposures to Eurostoxx 50 depending on current market sentiment as measured by the Dynamic Equity Risk Indicator (“DERI”). DERI is an indicator which has been developed by UBS Equity Research aiming to measure the market sentiment, investor risk appetite and equity positioning. The DERI indicator is calculated and published on a daily basis. The directional exposure of RADA means that the free-float market capitalization-weighted index of fifty European blue-chip stocks from those countries participating in the European Monetary Union. Each component’s weight is capped at 10 per cent. of the index’s total free float market capitalization. The index was developed with a base value of 1,000 as of 31 December 1991.



V24- The UBS V24 Index (the “V24”) reflects the performance of the V24 strategy, an FX carry strategy based on a universe of G10 and emerging markets currencies. The currency universe is divided into four areas: G10, Emerging, South America & Africa, Emerging Europe, and Emerging Asia. The V24 goes long the high yielding currencies and short the low-yielding currencies with a volatility-based filter. The volatility-based filter allows the V24 to go long carry in normal market environment and long cash in volatile market environment. The volatility filter functions as an indicator that causes the reversal of notional open positions underlying the V24 during times when its model predicts, based on the assumptions reflected in the design of the V24, that long positions in low yielding currencies and short positions in high yielding currencies will likely outperform long positions in high yielding currencies and short positions in low yielding currencies, and vice versa.

CMCI- The UBS Bloomberg CMCI Essence T10 Index (the “CMCI”) reflects the performance of the CMCI, an algorithmic strategy that aims to generate returns by taking positions across various tenors in the commodity futures, this minimising the exposure of the strategy to shape of the forward price curve. The CMCI strategy goes short the S&P GSCI Light Energy Index and long an index with the same commodity composition but based on the CMCI rolling methodology (diversified across the commodity curves).

The Index is calculated net of Management Fees and includes interest earned, as described in the index manual (available on request). The Index calculation assumes other costs including a) Replication costs, reflecting the costs associated with monthly rebalancing of the index, fixed at 0.08% per month, and b) Costs and fees associated with the Underlying Indices, details of which are available in their respective index manuals (available on request) Underlying Level Corresponds to the official closing level of the Underlying (Bloomberg: ULTADSIE Index) expressed in index points where one index point equals one (1)EUR. Market Disruption Event In case of a Market Disruption Event (the “Market Disruption Event”) the Calculation Agent retains the discretion to suspend the calculation of the Underlying.

2. Prospects of Profits and Losses Market Expectation Investors in this Product expect that the Underlying Strategies tracked by the Underlying Indices in the Index will be able to achieve their respective objectives. Risk Tolerance Investors in this Product should be aware of the risks related to investments in Commodity, Currency, Interest Rates, Equity Markets and the Underlying Strategies. Profit Potential The Certificate allows the Investor to profit from the performance of the Underlying. The Profit Potential is unlimited. Loss Potential The Product is not capital- protected and the Investors are fully exposed to the fact that the Underlying might not be performing well in the future. In the event of a Stop-Loss Event, Investors bear the risk of further deterioration in the value of their investment in the event of delays in unwinding the underlying positions. In addition, Investors are exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer.

3. Significant Risks for Investors For product specific risks please see above and the section Risk Factors below. Risk Factors relating to the Issuer In addition to the market risk with regard to the development of the Underlying, each Investor bears the general risk that the financial situation of the Issuer could deteriorate. The Products constitute immediate, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, which, particularly in case of insolvency of the Issuer, rank pari passu with each and all other current and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, with the exception of those that have priority due to mandatory statutory provisions. The general assessment of the Issuer’s creditworthiness may affect the value of the Products. This assessment generally depends on the ratings assigned to the Issuer or its affiliated companies by rating agencies such as Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s. The Issuer Ratings indicated in this document reflect the situation at the time of issuance and may be subject to changes. The actual Issuer Ratings at any given time can be seen on the Issuer’s website (www.ubs.com) under “Analysts & Investors”.

Potential Investors therefore should not rely on the ability to sell this Product at a specific time or at a specific price. In special market situations, where the Issuer is completely unable to enter into hedging transactions, or where such transactions are very difficult to enter into, the spread between the bid and offer prices may be temporarily expanded, in order to limit the economic risks of the Issuer. Market Risk The investor is exposed to market disruption events (such as trading disruption, exchange disruption and early closure of the relevant exchange), adjustments and early termination which could have an impact on the redemption amount through delay in payment or change in value.
