Investor Suitability
The securities may be suitable for you if:
■You fully understand the risks of an investment in the securities, including the risk of loss of all of your initial investment.
■You can tolerate a loss of a significant portion or all of your initial investment and are willing to make an investment that may have the same downside market risk as a hypothetical direct investment in the worst performing underlying index or the stocks comprising such underlying index.
■You understand and accept that an investment in the securities is linked to the worst performing underlying index and not a basket of the underlying indices and that you will be exposed to the market risk of each underlying index on each determination date.
■You believe that the closing level of each underlying index will be equal to or greater than its respective call threshold level on a determination date other than the final determination date, or that the final index level of each underlying index will be equal to or greater than its respective maturity redemption threshold level on the final determination date.
■You understand and are willing to accept that the risks of each underlying index are not mitigated by the performance of any other underlying index and you accept the risks of investing in securities with a return based on the worst performing underlying index.
■You understand and accept that you will not participate in any appreciation in the level of any underlying index and that any potential positive return is limited to the return reflected by the premium or the maturity redemption payment, as applicable.
■You can tolerate fluctuations in the price of the securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside level fluctuations of the underlying indices.
■You are willing to invest in the securities based on the call threshold levels, maturity redemption threshold levels, downside threshold levels and the premiums and the maturity redemption amount specified on the cover hereof.
■You are willing to forgo any dividends paid on the stocks comprising the underlying indices (the “index constituent stocks”) and you do not seek guaranteed current income from this investment.
■You are willing to invest in securities that may be redeemed prior to the maturity date, you are otherwise willing to hold such securities to maturity, a term of approximately 3 years, and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the securities.
■You understand and are willing to accept the risks associated with the underlying indices.
■You are willing to assume the credit risk of UBS for all payments under the securities, and you understand that if UBS defaults on its obligations you may not receive any amounts due to you including any repayment of principal.
■You understand that the estimated initial value of the securities determined by our internal pricing models is lower than the issue price and that, should UBS Securities LLC or any affiliate make secondary markets for the securities, the price (not including their customary bid-ask spreads) will temporarily exceed the internal pricing model price.
The securities may not be suitable for you if:
■You do not fully understand the risks of an investment in the securities, including the risk of loss of all of your initial investment.
■You require an investment designed to provide a full return of principal at maturity.

■You do not understand or cannot accept that an investment in the securities is linked to the worst performing underlying index and not a basket of the underlying indices and that you will be exposed to the market risk of each underlying index on each determination date.
■You believe that the closing level of any underlying index will decline during the term of the securities and is likely to be less than its respective call threshold level on each determination date other than the final determination date and less than its respective maturity redemption threshold level on the final determination date.
■You do not understand or cannot accept that the risks of each underlying index are not mitigated by the performance of any other underlying index, or you cannot accept the risks of investing in securities with a return based on the worst performing underlying index.
■You seek an investment that participates in the appreciation in the levels of the underlying indices or that has unlimited return potential.
■You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the price of the securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations of the underlying indices.

■You prefer to receive the dividends paid on the index constituent stocks or you seek guaranteed current income from this investment.
■You are unable or unwilling to hold securities that may be redeemed prior to the maturity date, or you are otherwise unable or unwilling to hold such securities to maturity, a term of approximately 3 years, or you seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
■You do not understand and are not willing to accept the risks associated with the underlying indices.
