Investor Suitability
The Trigger PLUS may be suitable for you if:
■You fully understand the risks of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including the risk of loss of all of your initial investment.
■You can tolerate a loss of a significant portion or all of your investment and are willing to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as a hypothetical investment in the underlying index or the index constituent stocks.
■You believe that the final level of the underlying index will be equal to or greater than the trigger level and, if the final level is less than the trigger level, you can tolerate receiving a payment at maturity that will be significantly less than the stated principal amount and may be zero.
■You believe that the level of the underlying index will increase over the term of the Trigger PLUS, and that the percentage of increase, when multiplied by the leverage factor, is unlikely to exceed the maximum upside gain indicated on the cover hereof, or that the level of the underlying index will decline over the term of the Trigger PLUS and that the final level will be equal to or greater than the trigger level.
■You understand and accept that your potential return on any increase of the underlying index is limited to the maximum upside gain and you are willing to invest in the Trigger PLUS based on the maximum upside gain and maximum upside payment at maturity indicated on the cover hereof.
■You understand and accept that the leverage factor does not apply to the absolute return feature and that your potential positive return from the absolute return feature is limited by the trigger level.
■You can tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Trigger PLUS prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the level of the underlying index.
■You do not seek current income from your investment and are willing to forgo any dividends paid on any index constituent stocks.
■You are willing and able to hold the Trigger PLUS to maturity, a term of approximately 15 months, and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS.
■You understand and are willing to accept the risks associated with the underlying index.
■You are willing to assume the credit risk of UBS for all payments under the Trigger PLUS, and understand that if UBS defaults on its obligations you may not receive any amounts due to you, including any repayment of principal.
