· | If UBS experiences monetary difficulties, FINMA has the ability to open restructuring or liquidation proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protecting measures in relation to, UBS, which proceedings or measures might have a fabric opposed impact on the phrases and market worth of the Securities and/or the flexibility of UBS to make funds thereunder — The Swiss Monetary Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”) has broad statutory powers to take measures and actions in relation to UBS if (i) it concludes that there’s justified concern that UBS is over-indebted or has severe liquidity issues or (ii) UBS fails to satisfy the relevant capital adequacy necessities (whether or not on a standalone or consolidated foundation) after expiry of a deadline set by FINMA. If one in every of these pre-requisites is met, FINMA is permitted to open restructuring proceedings or liquidation (chapter) proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protecting measures in relation to, UBS. The Swiss Banking Act grants important discretion to FINMA in reference to the aforementioned proceedings and measures. Particularly, a broad number of protecting measures could also be imposed by FINMA, together with a financial institution moratorium or a maturity postponement, which measures could also be ordered by FINMA both on a stand-alone foundation or in reference to restructuring or liquidation proceedings. The decision regime of the Swiss Banking Act is additional detailed within the Ordinance of 30 August 2012 of FINMA on the Insolvency of Banks and Securities Sellers, as amended (the “Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance”). In restructuring proceedings, FINMA, as decision authority, is competent to approve the decision plan. The decision plan might, amongst different issues, present for (a) the switch of all or a portion of UBS’ belongings, money owed, different liabilities and contracts (which can or might not embrace the contractual relationship between UBS and the holders of Securities) to a different entity, (b) a keep (for a most of two enterprise days) on the termination of contracts to which UBS is a celebration, and/or the train of (w) rights to terminate, (x) netting rights, (y) rights to implement or eliminate collateral or (z) rights to switch claims, liabilities or collateral below contracts to which UBS is a celebration, (c) the conversion of UBS’ debt and/or different obligations, together with its obligations below the Securities, into fairness (a “debt-to-equity” swap), and/or (d) the partial or full write-off of obligations owed by UBS (a “write-off”), together with its obligations below the Securities. The Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance supplies {that a} debt-to-equity swap and/or a write-off of debt and different obligations (together with the Securities) might happen solely after (i) all debt devices issued by UBS qualifying as further tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital have been transformed into fairness or written-off, as relevant, and (ii) the present fairness of UBS has been totally cancelled. Whereas the Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance doesn’t expressly deal with the order wherein a write- off of debt devices aside from debt devices qualifying as further tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital ought to happen, it states that debt-to-equity swaps ought to happen within the following order: first, all subordinated claims not qualifying as regulatory capital; second, all different claims not excluded by legislation from a debt-to-equity swap (aside from deposits); and third, deposits (in extra of the quantity privileged by legislation). Nevertheless, given the broad discretion granted to FINMA because the decision authority, any restructuring plan in respect of UBS may present that the claims below or in reference to the Securities can be partially or totally transformed into fairness or written-off, whereas preserving different obligations of UBS that rank pari passu with, and even junior to, UBS’ obligations below the Securities. Consequently, the train of any such powers by FINMA or any suggestion of any such train may materially adversely have an effect on the rights of holders of the Securities, the value or worth of their funding within the Securities and/or the flexibility of UBS to fulfill its obligations below the Securities and will result in holders dropping some or all of their funding within the Securities. Within the case of restructuring proceedings with respect to a systemically essential Swiss financial institution (corresponding to UBS), the collectors whose claims are affected by the restructuring plan won’t have a proper to vote on, reject, or search the suspension of the restructuring plan. As well as, if a restructuring plan has been permitted by FINMA, the rights of a creditor to search judicial overview of the restructuring plan (e.g., on the grounds that the plan would unduly prejudice the rights of holders of Securities or in any other case be in violation of the Swiss Banking Act) are very restricted. Particularly, a court docket might not droop the implementation of the restructuring plan. Moreover, even when a creditor efficiently challenges the restructuring plan, the court docket can solely require the related creditor to be compensated ex publish and there’s presently no steering as to on what foundation such compensation could be calculated or how it might be funded. |

deal with your Securities within the method described above. Nevertheless, as a result of there isn’t any authority that particularly addresses the tax
remedy of the Securities, it’s potential that your Securities may alternatively be handled for tax functions as a single

Treasury are actively contemplating whether or not the holder of an instrument such because the
Securities must be required to accrue odd revenue on a present foundation. It isn’t potential to find out what steering they
will finally challenge, if any. It’s potential, nevertheless, that below such steering, holders
of the Securities will finally be required to accrue revenue presently and this

different related points, together with whether or not further acquire or loss from such devices must be handled as odd or capital,
whether or not non-U.S. holders of such devices must be topic to withholding tax on any deemed revenue accruals, and whether or not the

and non-U.S. holders are urged to seek the advice of their tax advisor in regards to the significance and potential influence of the above issues.

in any other case required by legislation, UBS intends to deal with your Securities for U.S. federal revenue
tax functions in accordance with the remedy described above and below “Materials U.S. Federal Earnings Tax

3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “internet funding revenue”, which can embrace any revenue or acquire realized with respect
to the Securities, to the extent of their internet funding revenue that when added to their different modified adjusted gross revenue,
exceeds $200,000 for an single particular person, $250,000 for a married taxpayer submitting a joint return (or a surviving partner), or

Belongings. U.S. holders could also be topic to reporting obligations with respect to their Securities if they don’t maintain their Securities

overseas monetary belongings” (making use of sure attribution guidelines) exceeds an relevant threshold. Important penalties can
apply if a U.S. holder is required to reveal its Securities and fails to take action.
Non-U.S. Holders. In case you are a
non-U.S. holder, topic to the dialogue under concerning Part 871(m) of the Code and “FATCA,” you must usually
not be topic to U.S. withholding tax with respect to funds in your Securities or to usually relevant data reporting
and backup withholding necessities with respect to funds in your Securities in case you adjust to sure certification and
identification necessities as to your non-U.S. standing (by offering us (and/or the relevant withholding agent) with a totally
accomplished and validly executed relevant IRS Type W-8). Topic to Part 871(m) of the Code, mentioned under, acquire realized from
the taxable disposition of the Securities usually shouldn’t be topic to U.S. tax except (i) such acquire is successfully linked
with a commerce or enterprise performed by the non-U.S. holder within the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien particular person

A 30% withholding tax (which can be decreased by an relevant revenue tax treaty) is imposed below Part 871(m) of the Code on
sure “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked
instrument” that references a number of dividend-paying U.S. fairness securities. The withholding tax can apply even when the
instrument doesn’t present for funds that reference dividends. Treasury laws
present that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked devices
which have a delta of 1 (“delta one specified equity-linked devices”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents
paid or deemed paid on all different specified equity-linked devices issued after 2018. Nevertheless, the IRS has issued steering that
states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the efficient dates of the Treasury
laws to supply that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid won’t apply to specified equity-linked devices
that aren’t delta one specified equity-linked devices and are issued earlier than January 1, 2023.
Based mostly on our dedication that the Securities
will not be “delta-one” with respect to the underlying asset, our particular U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the Securities
shouldn’t be delta one specified equity-linked devices and thus shouldn’t be topic to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our
dedication will not be binding on the IRS, and the IRS might disagree with this dedication. Moreover, the appliance of Part 871(m)
of the Code will rely upon our determinations made on the commerce date. If withholding is required, we won’t make funds of any further
quantities.
However, after the commerce date, it’s potential that your Securities may
be deemed to be reissued for tax functions upon the incidence of sure occasions affecting the underlying asset or your Securities, and
following such incidence your Securities might be handled as delta one specified equity-linked devices which might be topic to withholding
on dividend equivalents. Additionally it is potential that withholding tax or different tax below Part 871(m) of the Code may apply to the Securities
below these guidelines in case you enter, or have entered, into sure different transactions
in respect of the underlying asset or the Securities. For those who enter, or have entered, into different transactions in respect of the underlying
asset or the Securities, you must seek the advice of your tax advisor concerning the appliance of Part 871(m) of the Code to your Securities
within the context of your different transactions.
Due to the uncertainty concerning the appliance of
the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Securities, you might be urged to seek the advice of your tax advisor concerning the potential
utility of Part 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an funding within the Securities.

U.S.-source funds, together with curiosity (and unique challenge low cost), dividends, different fastened or determinable annual or periodical
acquire, earnings, and revenue, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a kind which may produce U.S.-source curiosity
or dividends) and “passthru funds” (i.e., sure funds attributable to withholdable funds) made to sure
overseas monetary establishments (and sure of their associates) except the payee overseas monetary establishment agrees (or is required),
amongst different issues, to reveal the id of any U.S. particular person with an account of the establishment (or the related affiliate)

tax at a price of 30%. Underneath sure circumstances, a holder could also be eligible for refunds or credit of such taxes.
Pursuant to remaining and short-term Treasury laws and different IRS
steering, the withholding and reporting necessities below FATCA will usually apply to sure “withholdable funds”,
won’t apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and can apply to sure overseas passthru funds solely to the extent
that such funds are made after the date that’s two years after remaining laws defining the time period “overseas passthru
cost” are printed. If withholding is required, we (or the relevant paying agent) won’t be required to pay further
quantities with respect to the quantities so withheld. International monetary establishments and non-financial overseas entities positioned in jurisdictions
