prospectus and supplements thereto for each of our ETRACS ETNs,
which are identified by their names. For more information on each
ETRACS ETN, see “List of ETNs”.
b “Current Yield (annualized)” equals the current Coupon
Amount and the two immediately preceding Coupon Amounts, multiplied
by four (to annualize such coupons), divided by the closing Current
Indicative Value of the ETN on its current Coupon Valuation Date
rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis. The Current
Yield is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the
ETN. You are not guaranteed any coupon or distribution amount under
the ETN.
Note: HDLB, SMHB and PFFL pay a variable monthly coupon linked
to 2 times the cash distributions, if any, on the respective
underlying index constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. CEFD
and MVRL pay a variable monthly coupon linked to 1.5 times the cash
distributions, if any, on the respective underlying index
constituents, less withholding taxes, if any. Variations in the
amount of monthly distributions will lead to large variations in
the Current Yield as calculated above. As such, the Current Yield
is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on these
ETNs.

d On November 11, 2024, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Gold
FLOWSTM 103 Index, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Silver FLOWSTM 106
Index and the Credit Suisse Nasdaq WTI Crude Oil FLOWSTM 106 Index
(the “Indices”) concluded the notional sale of options on GLD
shares, SLV shares and USO shares, respectively, with December 2024
expiration. We expect that the notional cash distribution generated
by this sale of options will be withdrawn from the Indices on
December 16, 2024, subject to adjustment in the event of any market
disruption events. Assuming no redemption or acceleration of GLDI,
SLVO and USOI, and that the notional cash distribution is withdrawn
from the Indices on December 16, 2024, we expect to declare a
Coupon Amount for GLDI, SLVO and USOI, respectively, equal to the
corresponding Expected Coupon Amount. The Expected Coupon Amount is
subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or
other unforeseen circumstances.
e For each ETN, the Expected Current Yield equals the
Expected Coupon Amount annualized and divided by the Closing
Indicative Value, as discussed in more detail below. The Expected
Current Yield, which is based on an ETN’s Expected Coupon Amount
and its two most recent coupon payments, is not indicative of
future coupon payments, if any, on the ETNs. In particular, future
coupon payments on an ETN may differ significantly from its
Expected Current Yield, if its Closing Indicative Value fluctuates
widely in a volatile market. You are not guaranteed any coupon
payment or distribution under the ETNs. Coupon payments for the
ETNs (if any) are variable and do not represent fixed, periodic
interest payments. The Expected Coupon Amount for any ETN may vary
significantly from coupon period to coupon period and may be zero.
Accordingly, the Expected Current Yield will change over time, and
such change may be significant. Any payment on the ETNs is subject
to UBS AG’s ability to pay its obligations as they become due. For
more information regarding any ETN's coupon payments, please refer
to such ETN's pricing supplement.
f “Expected Current Yield” equals the sum of (i) the
Expected Coupon Amount, plus (ii) the amount of the ETN's two most
recent coupon payments, multiplied by four (to annualize such
coupons), divided by the Closing Indicative Value, and rounded to
two decimal places for ease of analysis. The Expected Current Yield
is subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or
other unforeseen circumstances.
