Opportunities in U.S. Equities
Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due
on or about June 15, 2023
$• Based on the worst performing of the common stock of Facebook, Inc.,
the class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of Microsoft Corporation
Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities (the “securities”)
offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent payment with respect to each determination date on which the closing price
of each underlying equity is equal to or greater than 55% of its initial price, which we refer to as its coupon barrier level.
If the closing price of any underlying equity is less than its coupon barrier level on a determination date, you will not receive
any contingent payment for that determination date. As a result, investors must be willing to accept the risk of not receiving
any contingent payments during the term of the securities. In addition, if the closing prices of all of the underlying equities
are equal to or greater than their respective call threshold levels on any determination date other than the final determination
date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii)
the contingent payment otherwise payable with respect to the related determination date. If, however, on any determination date
the closing price of any underlying equity is less than its call threshold level, the securities will not be redeemed. Furthermore,
if the final price of any underlying equity is less than 55% of its initial price, which we refer to as its downside threshold
level on the final determination date, UBS will pay you a cash payment per security that will be less than the stated principal
amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss that is equal to the underlying return of the underlying equity with the lowest
underlying return as compared to any other underlying equities (the “worst performing underlying equity”) over the
term of the securities and, in extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial investment. Accordingly, the securities do
not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying equities.
Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing underlying equity, a decline beyond the respective coupon
barrier level and/or downside threshold level, as applicable, of any underlying equity will result in few or no contingent payments
and/or a loss of a significant portion and, in extreme situations, all of your initial investment even if the other underlying
equity appreciates or has not declined as much. These securities are for investors who are willing to risk their initial investment
and seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no interest over
the entire term of the securities. The securities are unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations issued by
UBS AG, and all payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of UBS AG.

to trade the securities in the secondary market on any date prior to two business days before delivery of the securities will be
required, by virtue of the fact that each security initially will settle in three business days (T+3), to specify alternative settlement
arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the secondary market trade.

under “General Terms of the Securities — Valuation Dates”, “ — Final Valuation Date” and “—
Market Disruption Events” in the accompanying product supplement). We also refer to June 12, 2023 as the final determination
date. In the event that we make any change to the expected pricing date and original issue date, the calculation agent may adjust
the determination dates (including the final determination date) and maturity date to ensure that the stated term of the securities

an amount equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the stated principal amount times the underlying return of
the worst performing underlying equity.

Investment Summary
The Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about June
15, 2023 based on the worst performing of the common stock of Facebook, Inc., the class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the
common stock of Microsoft Corporation, which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to earn a contingent
payment, which will be an amount equal to $0.2263 (equivalent to approximately 9.05% per annum of the stated principal amount)
per security, with respect to each determination date on which the closing prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to
or greater than 55% of their respective initial prices, which we refer to as the coupon barrier levels. The contingent payment,
if any, will be payable on the relevant contingent payment date, which is the third business day after the related determination
date, except that the contingent payment date for the final determination date will be the maturity date. It is possible that the
closing prices of one or more of the underlying equities could remain less than their respective coupon barrier levels for extended
periods of time or even throughout the term of the securities so that you may receive few or no contingent payments.
If the closing prices of all of the underlying equities
are equal to or greater than their respective call threshold levels on any of the determination dates other than the final
determination date, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption amount equal to (i) the stated principal
amount plus (ii) any contingent payment otherwise payable with respect to the related determination date. If the securities
have not previously been redeemed and the final prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to or greater than their
respective downside threshold levels and coupon barrier levels, the payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount
plus (ii) any contingent payment otherwise payable with respect to the final determination date. If, however, the securities
are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final price of any underlying equity is less than its respective downside
threshold level, the payment due at maturity will be a cash payment that is less than the stated principal amount, if anything,
resulting in a percentage loss that is equal to the underlying return of the worst performing underlying equity, for an amount equal
to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) the stated principal amount times the underlying return of the worst
performing underlying equity. The value of such cash payment will be less than 55% of the stated principal amount of the securities
and could be zero. Investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing a significant portion and, in extreme
situations, all of their initial investment and also the risk of not receiving any contingent payments. In addition, investors will
not participate in any appreciation of the underlying equities.

Key Investment Rationale
The securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent
payment equal to $0.2263 (equivalent to approximately 9.05% per annum of the stated principal amount) per security, with respect
to each determination date on which the closing prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to or greater than 55%
of their respective initial prices, which we refer to as the coupon barrier levels. The securities may be redeemed prior to maturity
for an early redemption amount equal to (i) the stated principal amount per security plus (ii) any contingent payment otherwise
payable with respect to the related determination date. The payment at maturity will vary depending on the final prices, as follows:
Scenario 1
|
|
On any
determination date other than the final determination date, the closing prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to or
greater than their respective call threshold levels.
|
|
|
§
|
The securities will be
automatically redeemed for an early redemption amount equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) any contingent
payment otherwise payable with respect to the related determination date.
|
§
|
Investors will not participate in any
appreciation of the underlying equities from their respective initial prices.
|
|
|
|
Scenario 2
|
|
The
securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final prices of all of the underlying equities are equal
to or greater than their respective downside threshold levels and coupon barrier levels on the final determination
date.
|
|
|
§
|
The payment due at maturity will be (i) the
stated principal amount plus (ii) any contingent payment otherwise payable on the maturity date.
|
§
|
Investors will not participate in any
appreciation of the underlying equities from their respective initial prices.
|
|
|
|
Scenario 3
|
|
The
securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final price of any underlying equity is less than its respective
downside threshold level and coupon barrier level.
|
|
|
§
|
The payment due at maturity will
be a cash payment that is less than the stated principal amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss that is equal to
the underlying return of the worst performing underlying equity, for an amount equal to (i) the stated principal amount plus
(ii) the stated principal amount times the underlying return of the worst performing underlying equity.
|
§
|
Investors will lose a significant portion
and, in extreme situations, all of their initial investment in this scenario.
|
Investing in the securities involves significant risks.
You may lose a significant portion and, in extreme situations, all of your initial investment. Any payment on the securities,
including payments in respect of an early redemption, contingent payment or any repayment of principal provided at maturity, is
dependent on the ability of UBS to satisfy its obligations when they come due. If UBS is unable to meet its obligations, you may
not receive any amounts due to you under the securities and you could lose all of your initial investment.
The securities will not pay a contingent payment on a
contingent payment date (including the maturity date) if the closing price of any underlying equity is less than its
respective coupon barrier level on the related determination date. The securities will not be subject to an early redemption
if the closing price of any underlying equity is less than its respective call threshold level on a determination date (other
than the final determination date). If the securities are not redeemed prior to the final determination date, you will lose a
significant portion and, in extreme situations, all of your initial investment at maturity if the final price of any
underlying equity is less than its respective downside threshold level.

Hypothetical Examples
The below examples are based on the following terms and are purely hypothetical
(the actual terms of your security will be determined on the pricing date and will be specified in the final pricing supplement):
Hypothetical Initial Price:
Underlying Equity A:
Underlying Equity B:
Underlying Equity C:
|
$200.00
$1,260.00
$200.00
|
Hypothetical Call Threshold Level:
Underlying Equity A:
Underlying Equity B:
Underlying Equity C:
|
$200.00, which is 100% of the initial price
$1,260.00, which is 100% of the initial price
$200.00, which is 100% of the initial price
|
Hypothetical Coupon Barrier Level:
Underlying Equity A:
Underlying Equity B:
Underlying Equity C:
|
$110.00, which is 55% of the initial price
$693.00, which is 55% of the initial price
$110.00, which is 55% of the initial price
|
Hypothetical Downside Threshold Level:
Underlying Equity A:
Underlying Equity B:
Underlying Equity C:
|
$110.00, which is 55% of the initial price
$693.00, which is 55% of the initial price
$110.00, which is 55% of the initial price
|
Hypothetical Contingent Payment:*
|
$0.2263 per security (equivalent to approximately 9.05% per annum of the stated principal amount)
|
Stated Principal Amount:
|
$10.00 per security
|
In Examples 1 and 2, the closing
prices of the underlying equities fluctuate over the term of the securities and the closing prices of all of the underlying
equities are equal to or greater than their respective hypothetical call threshold levels on one of the determination dates
prior to the final determination date. Because the closing prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to or greater
than their respective call threshold levels on one of the determination dates prior to the final determination date, the
securities are automatically redeemed on the related contingent payment date. In Examples 3 and 4, the closing price of at
least one underlying equity on each of the determination dates prior to the final determination date is less than its
respective call threshold level and, consequently, the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to, and remain
outstanding until, maturity.

The early redemption amount includes any unpaid contingent payment with respect to the determination date on which the closing
prices for the underlying equities are equal to or greater than their respective call threshold levels and the securities are redeemed
as a result.

|
|
§
|
In Example 1, the securities are automatically redeemed following the first determination
date as the closing prices of all of the underlying equities on the first determination date are equal to or greater
than their respective call threshold levels. As the closing prices of all of the underlying equities on the first determination
date are equal to or greater than their respective coupon barrier levels and call threshold levels, the securities are
automatically redeemed early. Following the first determination date, you receive an early redemption amount, calculated as follows:
|
Stated Principal Amount + Contingent Payment = $10.00 + $0.2263 =
$10.2263
|
|
In this example, the early redemption feature limits the term of
your investment to approximately 3 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities
are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent payments. Your total return per security in this example is $10.2263 (a 2.263%
total return on the securities).
|
|
§
|
In Example 2, the securities are automatically redeemed following the tenth determination
date as the closing prices of all of the underlying equities on the tenth determination date are equal to or greater
than their respective call threshold levels. As the closing prices of all of the underlying equities on the first determination
date are equal to or greater than their respective coupon barrier levels, you receive the contingent payment of $0.2263
with respect to the first determination date. Following the tenth determination date, you receive the early redemption amount,
calculated as follows:
|
Stated Principal Amount + Contingent Payment = $10.00 + $0.2263 =
$10.2263
|
|
In this example, the early redemption feature limits the term of your investment to approximately
30 months and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities are redeemed early, you will stop
receiving contingent payments. Further, although all of the underlying equities have appreciated by 20% from their respective
initial prices on the tenth determination date, you receive only $10.2263 per security and do not benefit from such appreciation.
When added to the contingent interest payment of $0.2263 received with respect to the prior determination dates, your total return
per security in this example is $10.4526 (a 4.526% total return on the securities).

|
§
|
In Example 3, on each of the determination dates prior to the final determination
date, the closing price of at least one of the underlying equities is less than its respective coupon barrier level. As
a result, you do not receive a contingent payment with respect to any of those determination dates. Because the closing
prices of all of the underlying equities are equal to or greater than their respective downside threshold levels and
coupon barrier levels on the final determination date, at maturity, you receive the stated principal amount plus a
contingent payment with respect to the final determination date, calculated as follows:
|
$10.00 + $0.2263 = $10.2263
|
|
In this example, you receive the stated principal amount per security
plus the contingent payment, equal to a total payment of $10.2263 per security at maturity. Your total return per security in this
example is $10.2263 (a 2.263% total return on the securities).

§
|
In Example 4, on each determination date throughout the term of the securities,
the closing price of at least one of the underlying equities is less than its respective coupon barrier level. As a result,
you do not receive any contingent payment during the term of the securities. Furthermore, because the final price of at least
one of the underlying equities on the final determination date is less than its applicable downside threshold level, you are
fully exposed to the decline in the worst performing underlying equity. Your payment at maturity is calculated as follows:
|
$10.00 + ($10.00 × Underlying Return of the Worst
Performing Underlying Equity)
= $10.00 + ($10.00 × -60%)
= $4.00
|
In this example, because the final price of the worst performing underlying
equity represents a 60.00% decline, you will receive a total cash payment per security equal to $4.00 (a 60.00% loss on the securities).
|
We make no representation or warranty as to which of the
underlying equities will be the worst performing underlying equity for the purposes of calculating your actual payment at maturity.

Investing in the securities involves significant risks.
The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that UBS is not necessarily obligated to repay the full amount of your
initial investment. If the securities are not redeemed prior to the final determination date, you may lose a significant portion
and, in extreme situations, all of your initial investment. Specifically, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity
and the final price of any underlying equity is less than its respective downside threshold level, UBS will pay you a cash payment
per security that will be less than the stated principal amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss that is equal to
the underlying return of the worst performing underlying equity over the term of the securities.
The securities will not pay a contingent payment if the
closing price of any underlying equity is less than its respective coupon barrier level on any determination date. The securities
will not be subject to an early redemption if the closing price of any underlying equity is less than its respective call threshold
level on any determination date.
You will be exposed to the market risk of each underlying
equity on each determination date and on the final determination date and any decline in the level of one underlying equity may
negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the level of
any other underlying equity. Any payment to be made on the securities, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability
of UBS to satisfy its obligations as they come due. If UBS were to default on its payment obligations you may not receive any
amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose all of your initial investment.

Risk Factors
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for
investors in the securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the section entitled “Risk
Factors” in the accompanying product supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other
advisors before you invest in the securities.
|
§
|
Risk of loss at maturity. The securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that UBS will not necessarily repay
the stated principal amount of the securities at maturity. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, UBS will repay
you the stated principal amount of your securities in cash only if the final prices of all of the underlying equities are
equal to or greater than their respective downside threshold levels on the final determination date and will only make such payment
at maturity. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final price of any underlying equity is less
than its respective downside threshold level, you will lose a percentage of your principal amount equal to the underlying return
of the worst performing underlying equity.
|
|
§
|
Contingent repayment of stated principal amount only at maturity. If your securities are not redeemed prior to maturity,
you should be willing to hold your securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your securities prior to maturity in the secondary
market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the then-current prices of all of the underlying
equities are equal to or greater than their respective downside threshold levels.
|
|
§
|
You may not receive any contingent payments. UBS will not necessarily make periodic payments on the securities. If
the closing price of any of the underlying equities on any determination date is less than its respective coupon barrier
level, UBS will not pay you the contingent payment applicable to such determination date. If the closing price of any of
the underlying equities is less than its respective coupon barrier level on each of the determination dates, UBS will not pay
you any contingent payments during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your securities. Generally, this
non-payment of the contingent payment coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your securities.
|
|
§
|
Your potential return on the securities is limited and you will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying equities.
The return potential of the securities is limited to the pre-specified contingent payment rate, regardless of the appreciation
of the underlying equities. In addition, your return on the securities will vary based on the number of determination dates on
which the requirements of the contingent payment have been met prior to maturity or an early redemption. Furthermore, if the securities
are redeemed prior to maturity, you will not receive any contingent payments or any other payment in respect of any determination
dates after the applicable contingent payment date, and your return on the securities could be less than if the securities remained
outstanding until maturity. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, you may be subject to the depreciation in the
level of the worst performing underlying equity even though you cannot participate in any appreciation in the prices of the underlying
equities. As a result, the return on an investment in the securities could be less than the return on a direct investment in any
or all of the underlying equities.
|
|
§
|
Higher contingent payment rates are generally associated with a greater risk of loss. Greater expected volatility with
respect to, and lower expected correlation among, the underlying equities reflects a higher expectation as of the pricing date
that the final price of any one of the underlying equities could be less than its respective downside threshold level on the final
determination date of the securities. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the price of
an underlying equity. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher contingent payment rate for that security.
However, while the contingent payment rate is set on the pricing date, an underlying equity’s volatility, and the correlation
among the underlying equities, can change significantly over the term of the securities. The price of any one of the underlying
equities for your securities could fall sharply, which could result in the loss of a significant portion or all of your initial
investment.
|
|
§
|
Reinvestment risk. The securities will be redeemed prior to maturity if the closing prices of all of the underlying
equities are equal to or greater than their call threshold levels on any determination date other than the final determination
date and you will not receive any more contingent payments after the related contingent payment date. Conversely, the securities
will not be subject to an early redemption when the closing price of any one of the underlying equities is less than its
call threshold level on any determination date, which generally coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your
securities. The securities could be redeemed as early as the first contingent payment date, potentially limiting your investment
to a term of approximately 3 months. In the event that the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, there is no guarantee that
you will be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable rate of return for a similar level
of risk. In addition, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable to the securities, you
will incur transaction costs and the original issue price for such an investment is likely to include certain built-in costs such
as dealer discounts and hedging costs.
|
|
§
|
Credit risk of UBS. The securities are unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations of UBS and are not, either directly
or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the securities, including any repayment of principal
at maturity, depends on the ability of UBS to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, UBS’ actual and perceived
creditworthiness may affect the market value of the securities. If UBS were to default on its obligations, you may not receive
any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities and you could lose all of your initial investment.

$• Based on the worst performing of the common stock of Facebook, Inc., the class A common stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of Microsoft Corporation
|
|
§
|
Single equity risk. The return on the
securities, which may be negative, is linked to the performance of each underlying equity. The price of each underlying
equity can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such underlying equity and its issuer (an “underlying equity
issuer”) such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory
developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock
market or commodity market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. Recently, the
coronavirus infection has caused volatility in the global financial markets and a slowdown in the global economy. Coronavirus
or any other communicable disease or infection may adversely affect the underlying equity issuers and, therefore, the
underlying equities. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into the underlying equity
issuers and the underlying equities. For additional information regarding each underlying equity issuer, please see
“Information about the Underlying Equities” in this document and each underlying equity issuer’s SEC
filings referred to in that section. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the
underlying equity issuer with the SEC.
|
|
§
|
You are exposed to the market risk of each underlying equity. Your return on the securities is not linked to a basket
consisting of the underlying equities. Rather, it will be contingent upon the performance of each underlying equity. Unlike an
instrument with a return linked to a basket of American depositary receipts, common stocks or other underlying assets, in which
risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you will be exposed equally to the risks related to
each underlying equity. Poor performance by any one underlying equity may negatively affect your return and will not be offset
or mitigated by the performance of any other underlying equity. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each
underlying equity.
|
|
§
|
Because the securities are linked to the performance of more than one underlying equity, there is an increased probability
that you will not receive a contingent payment on a determination date and that you will lose a significant portion or all of
your initial investment. The risk that you will not receive a contingent payment on a determination date and that you will
lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in the securities is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed
to securities that are linked to the performance of a single underlying equity if their terms are otherwise substantially similar.
With a greater total number of underlying equities, it is more likely that the closing price or the final price, as applicable,
of any underlying equity will be less than its respective coupon barrier level and/or downside threshold level, as applicable.
Therefore, it is more likely that you will receive an amount in cash which is worth less than your stated principal amount on
the maturity date. In addition, if the performances of the underlying equities are not correlated to each other, the risk that
the closing price or the final price, as applicable, of any underlying equity is less than its coupon barrier level or
downside threshold level, respectively is even greater.
|
|
§
|
Fair value considerations.
|
|
o
|
The issue price you pay for the securities will exceed their estimated initial value. The issue price you pay for the securities will exceed their estimated initial value
as of the pricing date due to the inclusion in the issue price of the underwriting discount, hedging costs, issuance costs, projected
profits and a fee paid to an unaffiliated broker-dealer providing an electronic platform for this offering. As of the close of
the relevant markets on the pricing date, we will determine the estimated initial value of the securities by reference to our internal
pricing models and the estimated initial value of the securities will be set forth in the final pricing supplement. The pricing
models used to determine the estimated initial value of the securities incorporate certain variables, including the levels of the
underlying equities, volatility of the underlying equities, any dividends paid on the underlying equities, the correlation among
the underlying equities, prevailing interest rates, the term of the securities and our internal funding rate. Our internal funding
rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay to issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities of a similar term.
The underwriting discount, hedging costs, issuance and other costs, projected profits and the difference in rates will reduce the
economic value of the securities to you. Due to these factors, the estimated initial value of the securities as of the pricing
date will be less than the issue price you pay for the securities.
|
|
o
|
The estimated initial value is a theoretical price and the actual price that you may be able to sell your securities in
any secondary market (if any) at any time after the pricing date may differ from the estimated initial value. The value of
your securities at any time will vary based on many factors, including the factors described above and in “—Single
equity risk” above and is impossible to predict. Furthermore, the pricing models that we use are proprietary and rely in
part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, after the pricing date, if you attempt
to sell the securities in the secondary market, the actual value you would receive may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated
initial value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. The estimated initial value of the securities
does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities
in any secondary market at any time.
|
|
o
|
Our actual profits may be greater or less than the differential between the estimated initial value and the issue price
of the securities as of the pricing date. We may determine the economic terms of the securities, as well as hedge our obligations,
at least in part, prior to the pricing date. In addition, there may be ongoing costs to us to maintain and/or adjust any hedges
and such hedges are often imperfect. Therefore, our actual profits (or potentially, losses) in issuing the securities cannot be
determined as of the pricing date and any such differential between the estimated initial value and the issue price of the securities
as of the pricing date does not reflect our actual profits. Ultimately, our actual profits will be known only at the maturity of
the securities.

Limited or no secondary market and secondary market price considerations.
|
|
o
|
There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any
securities exchange or any electronic communications network. UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates intend, but are not required,
to make a market for the securities and may stop making a market at any time. If you are able to sell your securities prior to
maturity, you may have to sell them at a substantial loss. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that a secondary market for the
securities will develop. The estimated initial value of the securities does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we
or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities in any secondary market at any time.
|
|
o
|
The price at which UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates may offer to buy the securities in the secondary market (if any)
may be greater than UBS’ valuation of the securities at that time, greater than any other secondary market prices provided
by unaffiliated dealers (if any) and, depending on your broker, greater than the valuation provided on your customer account statements.
For a limited period of time following the issuance of the securities, UBS Securities LLC or its affiliates may offer to buy or
sell such securities at a price that exceeds (i) our valuation of the securities at that time based on our internal pricing models,
(ii) any secondary market prices provided by unaffiliated dealers (if any) and (iii) depending on your broker, the valuation provided
on customer account statements. The price that UBS Securities LLC may initially offer to buy such securities following issuance
will exceed the valuations indicated by our internal pricing models due to the inclusion for a limited period of time of the aggregate
value of the underwriting discount, hedging costs, issuance costs and theoretical projected trading profit. The portion of such
amounts included in our price will decline to zero on a straight line basis over a period ending no later than the date specified
under “Supplemental information regarding plan of distribution (conflicts of interest); secondary markets (if any)”.
Thereafter, if UBS Securities LLC or an affiliate makes secondary markets in the securities, it will do so at prices that reflect
our estimated value determined by reference to our internal pricing models at that time. The temporary positive differential relative
to our internal pricing models arises from requests from and arrangements made by UBS Securities LLC with the selling agents of
structured debt securities such as the securities. As described above, UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates are not required to
make a market for the securities and may stop making a market at any time. The price at which UBS Securities LLC or an affiliate
may make secondary markets at any time (if at all) will also reflect its then current bid-ask spread for similar sized trades of
structured debt securities. UBS Securities LLC reflects this temporary positive differential on its customer statements. Investors
should inquire as to the valuation provided on customer account statements provided by unaffiliated dealers.
|
|
o
|
Price of securities prior to maturity. The market price of the securities will be influenced by many unpredictable and
interrelated factors, including the prices of the underlying equities; the correlation between the underlying equities; the volatility
of the underlying equities; any dividends paid on the underlying equities; the time remaining to the maturity of the securities;
interest rates in the markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, force majeure and regulatory or judicial
events; the creditworthiness of UBS and the then current bid-ask spread for the securities.
|
|
o
|
Impact of fees and the use of internal funding rates rather than secondary market credit spreads on secondary
market prices. All other things being equal, the use of the internal funding rates described above under
“—Fair value considerations” as well as the inclusion in the issue price of the underwriting discount,
hedging costs, issuance and other costs and any projected profits are, subject to the temporary mitigating effect of UBS
Securities LLC’s and its affiliates’ market making premium, expected to reduce the price at which you may be able
to sell the securities in any secondary market.
|
|
§
|
Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the closing price of any underlying equity and will not have the same
rights as holders of any underlying equity. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in the closing price of any
underlying equity from its initial price, and the return on the securities will be limited to any contingent interest payment that
is paid with respect to each determination date on which the closing price or the final price, as applicable, of each underlying
equity is equal to or greater than its coupon barrier level. It is possible that the closing price of at least one of the underlying
equities could be less than its coupon barrier level on most or all of the determination dates so that you will receive few or
no contingent payments. If you do not earn sufficient contingent payments over the term of the securities, the overall return on
the securities may be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity.
Investors in the securities will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to any underlying equity.
|
|
§
|
There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the securities will be successful. It is impossible
to predict whether and the extent to which the prices of the underlying equities will rise or fall and there can be no assurance
that the closing price of each underlying equity will be equal to or greater than its coupon barrier level on any determination
date, or, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, that the final price of each underlying equity will be
equal to or greater than its downside threshold level. The prices of the underlying equities will be influenced by complex and
interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the underlying equity issuers. You should be willing
to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the underlying equities in particular, and the risk of losing a significant
portion or all of your initial investment.
|
|
§
|
No affiliation with the underlying equity issuers. The underlying equity issuers are not affiliates of ours, are
not involved with the offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider your interests in taking any corporate actions
that might affect the value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities. We have obtained all information regarding the
underlying equities from publicly available information and have not made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the
underlying equities in connection with the offering.

We may engage in business with or involving the underlying equity issuers without regard to your interests. We or our
affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with the underlying equity issuers without regard to your interests
and thus may acquire non-public information about the underlying equities. Neither we nor any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose
any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published and in the future may publish research
reports with respect to the underlying equities, which may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the underlying equities.
|
|
§
|
Potential UBS impact on an underlying equity. Trading or transactions by UBS or its affiliates in an underlying equity,
listed and/or over the counter options, futures, exchange-traded funds or other instruments with return linked to the performance
of that underlying equity, may adversely affect the market price(s) or level(s) of that underlying equity on any determination
date or the final determination date and, therefore, the market value of the securities and any payout to you of any contingent
payments or at maturity.
|
|
§
|
Potential conflicts of interest. We and our affiliates may engage in business related to any underlying
equity, which may present a conflict between our obligations as issuer and you, as a holder of the securities. There are also potential
conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent, which will be an affiliate of UBS. The calculation agent will determine
whether the contingent payment is payable to you on any contingent payment date, whether the securities are subject to an early
redemption and the payment at maturity of the securities, if any, based on observed closing prices of the underlying equities.
The calculation agent can postpone the determination of the initial price, closing price or final price of any underlying equity
(and therefore the related contingent payment date or maturity date, as applicable) if a market disruption event occurs and is
continuing, on the pricing date, any determination date or the final determination date, respectively. As UBS determines the economic
terms of the securities, including the contingent payment, call threshold levels, coupon barrier levels and downside threshold
levels, and such terms include the underwriting discount, hedging costs, issuance and other costs and projected profits, the securities
represent a package of economic terms. There are other potential conflicts of interest insofar as an investor could potentially
get better economic terms if that investor entered into exchange-traded and/or OTC derivatives or other instruments with third
parties, assuming that such instruments were available and the investor had the ability to assemble and enter into such instruments.
Furthermore, given that UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates temporarily maintain a market making premium, it may have the effect
of discouraging UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates from recommending sale of your securities in the secondary market.
|
|
|
In addition, we or one of our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedging activities with the dealer or its
affiliates in connection with the securities, which could cause the economic interests of UBS, the dealer or our or their respective
affiliates to be adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. If the dealer or any of its affiliates conduct hedging
activities for us or our affiliate in connection with the securities and earns profits in connection with such hedging activities,
such profit will be in addition to the underwriting compensation it receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should
be aware that the potential to receive compensation both for hedging activities and sales may create a further incentive for the
dealer to sell the securities to you.
|
|
§
|
Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by UBS. UBS and its affiliates publish research from
time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities,
or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research, opinions
or recommendations expressed by UBS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time
without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the securities and the
underlying equities to which the securities are linked.
|
|
§
|
The antidilution protection of the underlying equities is limited and may be discretionary. The calculation agent may
make adjustments to the initial price, downside threshold level, call threshold level, and/or final price of an underlying equity
or any other term of the securities, for certain corporate events affecting such underlying equity. However, the calculation agent
will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect an underlying equity. If an event occurs that does not
require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of, and any amounts payable on, the securities may be materially
and adversely affected. You should also be aware that the calculation agent may make adjustments
in response to events that are not described in the accompanying product supplement to account for any diluting or concentrative
effect, but the calculation agent is under no obligation to do so or to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in
making these determinations.
|
|
§
|
The securities are not bank deposits. An investment in the securities carries risks which are very different from the
risk profile of a bank deposit placed with UBS or its affiliates. The securities have different yield and/or return, liquidity
and risk profiles and would not benefit from any protection provided to deposits.

If UBS experiences financial difficulties, 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. The Swiss Financial Market
Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”) has broad statutory powers to take measures and actions in relation to UBS if (i) it
concludes that there is justified concern that UBS is over-indebted or has serious liquidity problems or (ii) UBS fails to fulfill
the applicable capital adequacy requirements (whether on a standalone or consolidated basis) after expiry of a deadline set by
FINMA. If one of these pre-requisites is met, FINMA is authorized to open restructuring proceedings or liquidation (bankruptcy)
proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protective measures in relation to, UBS. The Swiss Banking Act 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 or a maturity postponement, which measures may
be ordered by FINMA either on a stand-alone basis or in connection with restructuring or liquidation proceedings. The resolution
regime of the Swiss Banking Act is further detailed in the FINMA Banking Insolvency Ordinance (“BIO-FINMA”). In a
restructuring proceeding, FINMA, as resolution authority, is competent to approve the resolution plan. The resolution plan may,
among other things, provide for (a) the transfer of all or a portion of UBS’ assets, debts, other liabilities and contracts
(which may or may not include the contractual relationship between UBS and the holders of securities) to another entity, (b) a
stay (for a maximum of two business days) on the termination of contracts to which UBS is a party, and/or the exercise of (w)
rights to terminate, (x) netting rights, (y) rights to enforce or dispose of collateral or (z) rights to transfer claims, liabilities
or collateral under contracts to which UBS is a party, (c) the conversion of UBS’ debt and/or other obligations, including
its obligations under the securities, into equity (a “debt-to-equity” swap), and/or (d) the partial or full write-off
of obligations owed by UBS (a “write-off”), including its obligations under the securities. The BIO-FINMA provides
that a debt-to-equity swap and/or a write-off of debt and other obligations (including the securities) may only take place after
(i) all debt instruments issued by UBS qualifying as additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital have been converted into equity
or written-off, as applicable, and (ii) the existing equity of UBS has been fully cancelled. While the BIO-FINMA does not expressly
address the order in which a write-off of debt instruments other than debt instruments qualifying as additional tier 1 capital
or tier 2 capital should occur, it states that debt-to-equity swaps should occur in the following order: first, all subordinated
claims not qualifying as regulatory capital; second, all other claims not excluded by law from a debt-to-equity swap (other than
deposits); and third, deposits (in excess of the amount privileged by law). However, given the broad discretion granted to FINMA
as the resolution authority, any restructuring plan in respect of UBS could provide that the claims under or in connection with
the securities will be partially or fully converted into equity or written-off, while preserving other obligations of UBS that
rank pari passu with, or even junior to, UBS’ obligations under the securities. Consequently, holders of securities may
lose all or some of their investment in the securities. In the case of restructuring proceedings with respect to a systemically
important Swiss bank (such as UBS), the creditors whose claims are affected by the restructuring plan will not have a right to
vote on, reject, or seek the suspension of the restructuring plan. In addition, if a restructuring plan has been approved by FINMA,
the rights of a creditor to seek judicial review of the restructuring plan (e.g., on the grounds that the plan would unduly prejudice
the rights of holders of securities or otherwise be in violation of the Swiss Banking Act) are very limited. In particular, a
court may not suspend the implementation of the restructuring plan. Furthermore, even if a creditor successfully challenges the
restructuring plan, the court can only require the relevant creditor to be compensated ex post and there is currently no guidance
as to on what basis such compensation would be calculated or how it would be funded.

Tax
considerations:
|
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your
investment in the securities are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions
addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the
securities. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion in
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, including the section “— Securities Treated as Prepaid
Derivatives or Prepaid Forwards with Associated Contingent Coupons”, in the accompanying product supplement and to discuss the
tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury Department (the “Treasury”)
regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to
change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No ruling
from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
your investment in the securities, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
|
|
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the
securities, UBS and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial
ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the underlying equities. If
your securities are so treated, any contingent payment that is paid by UBS (including on the maturity date or upon early redemption)
should be included in your income as ordinary income in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.
|
|
In addition, excluding amounts attributable to any
contingent payment, you should generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the taxable disposition of your securities in an amount
equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time (other than amounts or proceeds attributable to a contingent
payment or any amount attributable to any accrued but unpaid contingent payment) and the amount you paid for your securities. Such
gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise
such gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less). The deductibility of capital losses is
subject to limitations. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your securities prior
to a contingent payment date, but that could be attributed to an expected contingent payment, could be treated as ordinary income.
You should consult your tax advisor regarding this risk.
|
|
Based on certain factual representations received from
us, our counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat your securities in
the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities,
it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument,
or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ
materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences”, including the section “— Securities Treated as Prepaid Derivatives or Prepaid Forwards with
Associated Contingent Coupons”, in the accompanying product supplement.
|
|
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, UBS
intends to treat your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, including the section “— Securities Treated as Prepaid
Derivatives or Prepaid Forwards with Associated Contingent Coupons”, in the accompanying product supplement unless and until
such time as the IRS and the Treasury determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
|
|
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a
notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the securities. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are
actively considering whether the holder of an instrument such as the securities should be required to accrue ordinary income
on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible,
however, that under such guidance, holders of the securities will ultimately be required to accrue income currently in excess
of any receipt of contingent payments and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury are also
considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as
ordinary or capital and whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed
income accruals. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance and the
potential impact of the above considerations.

Medicare Tax on
Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax
on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include any income or gain realized with respect to
the securities, to the extent of their net investment income that when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds
$200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000
for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or
trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors
as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
|
|
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. Certain
U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an applicable threshold may be subject to
reporting obligations with respect to such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the
custody of a U.S. financial institution. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of this
legislation to their ownership of the securities.
|
|
Non-U.S. Holders. The U.S.
federal income tax treatment of the contingent payments is unclear. Subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, as discussed
below, our counsel is of the opinion that contingent payments paid to a non-U.S. holder that provides us (and/or the applicable
withholding agent) with a fully completed and validly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 should not be subject to U.S. withholding
tax and we do not intend to withhold any tax on contingent payments. However, it is possible that the IRS could assert that such
payments are subject to U.S. withholding tax, or that another withholding agent may otherwise determine that withholding is required,
in which case we or the other withholding agent may withhold up to 30% on such payments (subject to reduction or elimination of
such withholding tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty). We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding.
Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition
of a security generally should not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business
conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual and is present in the
U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of such taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied, or (iii)
the non-U.S. holder has certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
|
|
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain
whether any underlying equity issuer would be treated as a “United States real property holding corporation”
(“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to determine whether the securities
should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the
Code. If any such entity and the securities were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly
apply, including subjecting any gain to a non-U.S. holder in respect of a security upon a taxable disposition of the securities to
the U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S.
holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC and the securities as
USRPI.
|
|
Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be
reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain “dividend
equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that
references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide
for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents
paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked
instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked
instruments issued after 2018. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the
effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply
to specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1,
2023.
|
|
Based on our determination that the securities are not
“delta-one” with respect to any underlying equity, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be
delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our
determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the application of Section
871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations made upon issuance of the securities. If withholding is required, we will not
make payments of any additional amounts.
|
|
Nevertheless, after issuance, it is possible that your
securities could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying equities
or your securities, and following such occurrence your securities could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments
that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m)
of the Code could apply to the securities under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in
respect of the underlying equities or the securities. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the
underlying equities or the securities, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code
to your securities in the context of your other transactions.
|
|
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of
the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the securities, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the potential
application of Section 871(m) of the Code
and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the securities.

Foreign Account
Tax Compliance Act. Legislation commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) generally
imposes a withholding tax of 30% on payments to certain non-U.S.entities (including financial intermediaries) with respect to
certain financial instruments, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements have been satisfied. An
intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and the non-U.S. entity’s jurisdiction may modify these requirements. This
legislation generally applies to certain financial instruments that are treated as paying U.S.-source interest or other U.S.-source
“fixed or determinable annual or periodical” income (“FDAP income”). Withholding (if applicable) applies
to payments of U.S.-source FDAP income but, pursuant to certain Treasury regulations and IRS guidance, does not apply to payments
of gross proceeds on the disposition (including upon retirement) of financial instruments. As the treatment of the securities
is unclear, it is possible that any contingent payment with respect to the securities could be subject to the FATCA rules. If
withholding applies to the securities, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of FATCA to the securities.
|
|
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was
introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of securities similar to the securities purchased
after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of such securities despite the fact that there may be no interest
payments over the term of such securities.
|
|
Furthermore, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee
released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the effect of this
legislation generally would have been to require instruments such as the securities to be marked to market on an annual basis with
all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
|
|
It is not possible to predict whether any similar or
identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your securities. You are
urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your
securities.
|
|
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult
their tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax
consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the securities arising under the laws of any state, local,
non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction.
|
Use of proceeds and
hedging:
|
We will use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities
for the purposes we describe in the accompanying product supplement under “Use of Proceeds and Hedging.” We and/or
our affiliates may also use those proceeds in transactions intended to hedge our obligations under the securities as described
below.
|
|
In connection with the sale of the securities, we and/or our affiliates
may enter into hedging transactions involving the execution of long-term or short-term interest rate swaps, futures and option
transactions or purchases and sales of securities before, on and after the pricing date of the securities. From time to time, we
and/or our affiliates may enter into additional hedging transactions or unwind those we have entered into. In addition, we or one
of our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedging activities with the dealer or its affiliates.
|
|
We and/or our affiliates may acquire a long or short
position in securities similar to the securities from time to time and may, in our or their sole discretion, hold or resell those
securities.
|
|
The hedging activity discussed above may adversely affect
the market value of the securities from time to time and payment on the securities, including any payment at maturity. See
“Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this document for a discussion of these adverse effects.
|
Supplemental
information regarding plan of distribution (conflicts of interest); secondary markets (if any):
|
Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, UBS will agree to sell to UBS Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC will
agree to purchase from UBS, the stated principal amount of the securities specified on the front cover of this document at
the price to public less a fee of $0.25 per $10.00 stated principal amount of securities. UBS Securities LLC will agree to
resell all of the securities to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management with an underwriting discount of $0.25 reflecting a fixed
structuring fee of $0.05 and a fixed sales commission of $0.20 per $10.00 stated principal amount of securities that Morgan
Stanley Wealth Management sells.
|
|
UBS, UBS Securities LLC or any other affiliate of UBS may
use this document, the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying prospectus in a market-making transaction for any
securities after their initial sale. In connection with the offering, UBS, UBS Securities LLC, any other affiliate of UBS or any
other securities dealers may distribute this document, the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying prospectus
electronically. Unless UBS or its agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this document, the accompanying
product supplement and the accompanying prospectus are being used in a market-making transaction.
|
|
Conflicts of Interest. UBS Securities LLC is
an affiliate of UBS and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. In addition, UBS will receive the net proceeds (excluding the
underwriting discount) from the initial public offering of the securities and, thus creates an additional conflict of interest
within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. UBS Securities LLC is not permitted to sell securities in this offering to an account over
which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.

|

|
|
UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates may
offer to buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if any) at prices greater than UBS’ internal valuation.
The value of the securities at any time will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted. However, the price (not including
UBS Securities LLC’s or any affiliate’s customary bid-ask spreads) at which UBS Securities LLC or any affiliate would
offer to buy or sell the securities immediately after the pricing date in the secondary market is expected to exceed the estimated
initial value of the securities as determined by reference to our internal pricing models. The amount of the excess will decline
to zero on a straight line basis over a period ending no later than 6 weeks after the pricing date, provided that UBS Securities
LLC may shorten the period based on various factors, including the magnitude of purchases and other negotiated provisions with
selling agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates are not required to make a market for the
securities and may stop making a market at any time. For more information about secondary market offers and the estimated initial
value of the securities, see “Risk Factors — Fair value considerations” and “— Limited or no secondary
market and secondary market price considerations” on pages 11 and 12 of this document.
|
Prohibition of sales to
EEA retail investors:
|
The securities are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European
Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10)
of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or
selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
