UBS Investment Bank today announced coupon payments for 12
ETRACS Exchange Traded Notes (the “ETNs”), all traded on the NYSE Arca.
* The table above provides a hyperlink to the relevant prospectus and supplements thereto for each of our ETRACS ETNs, which are
identified by their names. For more information on each ETRACS ETN, see "List
of ETNs".
** Due to the monthly coupon payment schedule of these ETNs, “Current Yield (annualized)” equals the sum of the most recently
announced Coupon Amount and the two immediately preceding Coupon Amounts, multiplied by four (to annualize such coupons), divided
by the closing Current Indicative Value of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date rounded to two decimal places for ease of
analysis. The Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or
distribution amount under the ETN.
*** “Current Yield (annualized)” equals the current Coupon Amount multiplied by twelve (to annualize such coupon), divided by
the closing Current Indicative Value of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date rounded to two decimal places for ease of
analysis. The Current Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or
distribution amount under the ETN.
Note: The ETNs listed in the table pay a variable monthly coupon linked to the cash distributions, if any, on the respective
underlying index constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. Variations in the amount of monthly distributions will lead to large
variations in the Current Yield as calculated above. As such, the Current Yield for each is not indicative of future coupon
payments, if any, on these ETNs.
