US Indices

Dow Jones Industrial Average® Index

We have derived all information regarding the Dow Jones Industrial Average (the “DJIA Index”) contained in this index supplement from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (“Dow Jones”). Dow Jones owns the copyright and all other rights to the DJIA Index. Dow Jones has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the DJIA Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

The DJIA Index is a benchmark of performance for leading companies in the US stock market. The DJIA Index consists of 30 “blue-chip” US stocks, although this has not always been the case. The number of stocks in the DJIA Index was 12 in 1896, rose to 20 in 1916, then to 30 in 1928, and has been at that level ever since.

The DJIA Index is calculated by adding up the prices of the 30 constituent stocks and dividing the total by a divisor. The divisor is now a number that reflects adjustments over time resulting from spin-offs, stock splits, stock dividends and other corporate actions, as well as additions and deletions to the DJIA Index. The adjustments to the divisor also allow the DJIA Index calculation to remain comparable over time.

According to Dow Jones, the composition of the DJIA Index is determined at the discretion of the editors of The Wall Street Journal. While there are no rules for component selection, a stock typically is added only if it has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, is of interest to a large number of investors and accurately represents the sector(s) covered by the average. The DJIA Index is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks. Instead, the DJIA Index serves as a measure of the entire US market, covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment and consumer goods.

For the sake of continuity, changes to the composition of the DJIA Index are rare, and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component’s core business. When such an event necessitates that one component be replaced, the entire DJIA Index is reviewed by the editors of The Wall Street Journal. As a result, multiple component changes are often implemented simultaneously.

Russell 2000® Index

We have derived all information regarding the Russell 2000® Index (the “Russell Index”) contained in this index supplement, including its make-up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, from publicly available information. That information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Frank Russell Company (the “Russell Index Sponsor”). The Russell Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Russell Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Russell Index. The Russell Index is an index calculated, published, and disseminated by the Russell Index Sponsor, and measures the composite price performance of stocks of 2,000 companies incorporated and domiciled in the United States and its territories. All 2,000 stocks are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange LLC, or NASDAQ, and form a part of the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest United States companies as determined by market capitalization and represents approximately 98.00% of the United States equity market. The Russell Index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell Index is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the United States equity market.

Stocks Included in the Russell 2000® Index

Only common stocks belonging to corporations domiciled in the United States and its territories are eligible for inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index and the Russell Index. Stocks traded on United States exchanges but domiciled in other countries are excluded. Preferred and convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating preferred stock, paired shares, warrants, and rights also are excluded. Trust receipts, royalty trusts, limited liability companies, OTC Bulletin Board companies, pink sheets, closed-end mutual funds, and limited partnerships that are traded on United States exchanges also are ineligible for inclusion. Real Estate Investment Trusts and Beneficial Trusts, however, are eligible for inclusion.

In general, only one class of securities of a company is allowed in the Russell Index, although exceptions to this general rule have been made where the Russell Index Sponsor has determined that each class of securities acts independently of the other. Stocks must trade at or above $1.00 on May 31 of each year to be eligible for inclusion in the Russell Index. However, if a stock falls below $1.00 intra-year, it will not be removed until the next reconstitution if it is still trading below $1.00.

The primary criterion used to determine the initial list of securities eligible for the Russell 3000® Index is total market capitalization, which is defined as the price of a company’s shares times the total number of available shares, as described below. Based on closing values on May 31 of each year, the Russell Index Sponsor reconstitutes the composition of the Russell 3000® Index using the then existing market capitalizations of eligible companies. As of the last Friday in June of each year, the Russell Index is adjusted to reflect the reconstitution of the Russell 3000® Index for that year. Real-time dissemination of the Russell Index began on January 1, 1987.

Computation of the Index

As a capitalization-weighted index, the Russell Index reflects changes in the capitalization, or market value, of the component stocks relative to the capitalization on a base date. The current Russell Index value is calculated by adding the market values of the Russell Index’s component stocks, which are derived by multiplying the price of each stock by the number of available shares, to arrive at the total market capitalization of the 2,000 stocks. The total market capitalization is then divided by a divisor, which represents the “adjusted”capitalization of the Russell Index on the base date of December 31, 1986. To calculate the Russell Index, last sale prices will be used


 
  IS-5

Russell 2000® Index


for exchange-traded and NASDAQ stocks. If a component stock is not open for trading, the most recently traded price for that security will be used in calculating the Russell Index. In order to provide continuity for the Russell Index’s value, the divisor is adjusted periodically to reflect certain events, including changes in the number of common shares outstanding for component stocks, company additions or deletions, corporate restructurings, and other capitalization changes.

Available shares are assumed to be shares available for trading. Exclusion of capitalization held by other listed companies and large holdings of private investors (10.00% or more) is based on information recorded in SEC filings. Other sources are used in cases of missing or questionable data.

The following types of shares are considered unavailable for the purposes of capitalization determinations:

ESOP or LESOP shares—shares of corporations that have Employee Stock Ownership Plans that comprise 10.00% or more of the shares outstanding are adjusted;
Corporate cross-owned shares—when shares of a company in the index are held by another company also in the index, this is considered corporate cross-ownership. Any percentage held in this class will be adjusted;
Large private and corporate shares—when an individual, a group of individuals acting together, or a corporation not in the index owns 10.00% or more of the shares outstanding. However, institutional holdings (investment companies, partnerships, insurance companies, mutual funds, banks, or venture capital companies) are not included in this class; and
Unlisted share classes—classes of common stock that are not traded on a United States securities exchange or NASDAQ

The following summarizes the types of Russell Index maintenance adjustments and indicates whether or not an index adjustment is required.

“No Replacement” Rule—Securities that leave the Russell Index, between reconstitution dates, for any reason (e.g., mergers, acquisitions, or other similar corporate activity) are not replaced. Thus, the number of securities in the Russell Index over a year will fluctuate according to corporate activity.
Rule for Corporate Action-Driven Changes—When a stock is acquired, delisted, or moves to the pink sheets or bulletin boards on the floor of a United States securities exchange, the stock is deleted from the Russell Index at the open of trading on the ex-date using the previous day’s closing prices.
When acquisitions or mergers take place within the Russell Index, the stock’s capitalization moves to the acquiring stock; as a result, mergers have no effect on the index total capitalization. Shares are updated for the acquiring stock at the time the transaction is final.
Deleted Stocks—When deleting stocks from the Russell Index as a result of exchange delisting or reconstitution, the price used is the market price on the day of deletion, including potentially the OTC Bulletin Board price. Previously, prices used to reflect delisted stocks were the last traded price on the primary exchange. There may be corporate events, like mergers or acquisitions, that result in the lack of a current market price for the deleted security, and in such an instance the latest primary exchange closing price available will be used.
Additions for Spin-Offs—Spin-off companies are added to the parent company’s index and capitalization tier of membership, if the spin off is large enough. To be eligible, the spun-off company’s total market capitalization must be greater than the market-adjusted total market capitalization of the smallest security in the Russell Index at the latest reconstitution.

IS-6  

Russell 2000® Index


Quarterly IPO Additions—Eligible companies that have recently completed an initial public offering are added to the Russell Index at the end of each calendar quarter based on total market capitalization ranking within the market-adjusted capitalization breaks established during the most recent reconstitution. Market adjustments will be made using the returns of the Russell 3000® Index. Eligible companies will be added to the Russell Index using their industry’s average style probability established at the latest constitution.

In order to be added in a quarter outside of reconstitution, the IPO company must meet all Russell US Index eligibility requirements. Additionally, the IPO company must meet the following criteria on the final trading day of the month prior to quarter-end: (1) price/trade; (2) rank larger in total market capitalization than the market-adjusted smallest company in the Russell 3000® Index as of the latest June reconstitution; and (3) meet criteria (1) and (2) during an initial offering period.

Each month, the Russell Index is updated for changes to shares outstanding as companies report changes in share capital to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Only cumulative changes to shares outstanding greater than 5.00% are reflected in the Russell Index. This does not affect treatment of major corporate events, which are effective on the ex-date.

S&P 500® Index

We have derived all information regarding the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P Index”) contained in this index supplement, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”). We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. S&P has no obligation to continue to publish the S&P Index, and may discontinue publication of the S&P Index.

The S&P Index is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movement. The calculation of the value of the S&P Index, discussed below in further detail, is based on the relative value of the aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies (the “S&P Index Constituent Stocks”) as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.

S&P calculates the S&P Index by reference to the prices of the S&P Index Constituent Stocks without taking account of the value of dividends paid on such stocks. As a result, the return on the Securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the stocks that compose the S&P Index and received the dividends paid on such stocks.

Computation of the S&P Index

S&P currently computes the S&P Index as of a particular time as follows:

the product of the market price per share and the number of then outstanding shares of each component stock, adjusted as described below, is determined as of that time (referred to as the “market value” of that stock);
the market values of all component stocks as of that time are aggregated;
the mean average of the market values as of each week in the base period of the years 1941 through 1943 of the common stock of each company in a group of 500 substantially similar companies is determined;
the mean average market values of all these common stocks over the base period are aggregated (the aggregate amount being referred to as the “base value”);
the current aggregate market value of all component stocks is divided by the base value; and
the resulting quotient, expressed in decimals, is multiplied by ten.

Prior to March 2005, the market value of a component stock was calculated as the product of the market price per share and the total number of outstanding shares of the component stock. In September 2004, S&P announced that it would transition to using a “float-adjusted” number of shares to calculate the S&P Index, meaning that, with respect to each component stock, only the number of shares of such stock available to investors, rather than all of the outstanding shares, would be used to determine the component stock’s market value. The transition to float adjustment took place in two steps. The first step took place in March 2005, when S&P began calculating market value as the product of the market price per share and the average of the number of outstanding shares and the float-adjusted number of shares of a component stock. The second step took place in September 2005, when S&P began using only the float-adjusted number of shares to calculate market value.


 
  IS-9

S&P 500® Index


S&P adjusts the foregoing formula to offset the effects of changes in the market value of a component stock that are determined by S&P to be arbitrary or not due to true market fluctuations. These changes may result from causes such as:

the issuance of stock dividends;
the granting to shareholders of rights to purchase additional shares of stock;
the purchase of shares by employees pursuant to employee benefit plans;
consolidations and acquisitions;
the granting to shareholders of rights to purchase other securities of the issuer;
the substitution by S&P of particular component stocks in the S&P Index; or
other reasons.

In these cases, S&P first recalculates the aggregate market value of all component stocks, after taking account of the new market price per share of the particular component stock or the new number of outstanding shares of that stock or both, as the case may be, and then determines the new base value in accordance with the following formula:

Old Base Value x New Market Value / Old Market Value = New Base Value

        The result is that the base value is adjusted in proportion to any change in the aggregate market value of all component stocks resulting from the causes referred to above to the extent necessary to negate the effects of these causes upon the S&P Index.

        Neither UBS nor any of its affiliates accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance or publication of, or for any error, omission or disruption in, the S&P Index or any successor index. While S&P currently employs the above methodology to calculate the S&P Index, no assurance can be given that S&P will not modify or change this methodology in a manner that may affect the amount payable at maturity to beneficial owners of the Securities. S&P does not guarantee the accuracy or the completeness of the S&P Index or any data included in the S&P Index. S&P assumes no liability for any errors, omissions or disruption in the calculation and dissemination of the S&P Index. S&P disclaims all responsibility for any errors or omissions in the calculation and dissemination of the S&P Index or the manner in which the S&P Index is applied in determining the amount payable at maturity.

License Agreement

S&P and UBS have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement providing for the license to UBS, and certain of its affiliates, in exchange for a fee, of the right to use the S&P Index, in connection with securities, including the Securities. The S&P Index is owned and published by S&P.

The license agreement between S&P and UBS provides that the following language must be set forth in this prospectus supplement:

The Securities are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by S&P. S&P makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Securities or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Securities particularly, or the ability of the S&P Index to track general stock market performance. S&P’s only relationship to UBS is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade names of S&P and of the S&P Index which is determined, composed and calculated by S&P without regard to UBS or the Securities.

Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM

The following is a description of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM (the “DJ-AIG Commodity Index”), including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components. The information in this description has been taken from (i) publicly available sources and (ii) a summary of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Handbook (a document that is considered proprietary to Dow Jones and AIGI and is available to those persons who enter into a license agreement available at http://www.djindexes.com/mdsidx/index.cfm?event=showAigRequest). Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (“Dow Jones”), and American International Group, Inc. (“AIGI”). UBS has not independently verified this information. You, as an investor in the Securities, should make your own investigation into the Indices, AIGI and Dow Jones. Dow Jones and AIGI are not involved in the offer of the Securities in any way and have no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Securities. Dow Jones and AIGI have no obligation to continue to publish the Indices, and may discontinue publication of either DJ-AIG Commodity Index at any time in their sole discretion.

Overview

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index was introduced in July 1998 to provide unique, diversified, economically rational and liquid benchmarks for commodities as an asset class. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index currently is composed of the prices of nineteen exchange-traded futures contracts on physical commodities. An exchange-traded futures contract is a bilateral agreement providing for the purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of a commodity or financial instrument during a stated delivery month for a fixed price. For a general description of the commodity future markets, see “The Commodity Futures Markets” on page IS-12. The commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index for 2007 are as follows: aluminum, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil, gold, heating oil, lean hogs, live cattle, natural gas, nickel, silver, soybeans, soybean oil, sugar, unleaded gas (RBOB), wheat and zinc.

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is a proprietary index that Dow Jones and AIGI developed and that Dow Jones, in conjunction with AIGI, calculates. The methodology for determining the composition and weighting of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index and for calculating its value is subject to modification by Dow Jones and AIGI at any time.

AIGI and its affiliates actively trade futures contracts and options on futures contracts on the commodities that underlie the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, as well as commodities, including commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. AIGI and its affiliates also actively enter into or trade and market securities, swaps, options, derivatives and related instruments which are linked to the performance of commodities or are linked to the performance of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. Certain of AIGI’s affiliates may underwrite or issue other securities or financial instruments indexed to the DJ-AIG Commodity Index and related indices, and AIGI and Dow Jones and their affiliates may license the DJ-AIG Commodity Index for publication or for use by unaffiliated third parties. These activities could present conflicts of interest and could affect the level of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. For instance, a market maker in a financial instrument linked to the performance of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index may expect to hedge some or all of its position in that financial instrument. Purchase (or selling) activity in the underlying DJ-AIG Commodity Index components in order to hedge the market maker’s position in the financial instrument may affect the market price of the futures contracts included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, which in turn may affect the value of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. With respect to any of the activities described above, none of AIGI, Dow Jones or their respective affiliates has any obligation to take the needs of any buyers, sellers or holders of the Securities into consideration at any time.

The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee

Dow Jones and AIGI have established the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee to assist them in connection with the operation of the commodity indices published by Dow Jones and AIGI, including the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee includes prominent members of the financial, academic and legal communities selected by AIGI and meets annually to consider any changes to be made to the indices for the coming year. The Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee may also meet at such other times as may be necessary.

As described in more detail below, the DJ-AIG Commodity Index is reweighted and rebalanced each year in January on a price-percentage basis. The annual weightings for the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are determined each year in June or July by AIGI under the supervision of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee. Following the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee’s annual meeting in June or July, the annual weightings are publicly announced in July.

Four Main Principles Guiding the Creation of the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index was created using the following four main principles:

Economic significance. A commodity index should fairly represent the importance of a diversified group of commodities to the world economy. To achieve a fair representation, the DJ-AIG Commodity Index uses both liquidity data and dollar-weighted production data in determining the relative quantities of included commodities.
The DJ-AIG Commodity Index primarily relies on liquidity data, or the relative amount of trading activity of a particular commodity, as an important indicator of the value placed on that commodity by financial and physical market participants. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index also relies on production data as a useful measure of the importance of a commodity to the world economy. Production data alone, however, may underestimate the economic significance of storable commodities (e.g., gold) relative to non-storable commodities (e.g., live cattle). Production data alone also may underestimate the investment value that financial market participants place on certain commodities, and/or the amount of commercial activity that is centered around various commodities. Additionally, production statistics alone do not necessarily provide as accurate a blueprint of economic importance as the pronouncements of the markets themselves. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index thus relies on data that is both endogenous to the futures market (liquidity) and exogenous to the futures market (production) in determining relative weightings.
Diversification. A second major goal of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index is to provide diversified exposure to commodities as an asset class. Disproportionate weightings of any particular commodity or sector increase volatility and negate the concept of a broad-based commodity index. Instead of diversified commodities exposure, the investor is unduly subjected to micro-economic shocks in one commodity or sector. As described further below, diversification rules have been established and are applied annually. Additionally, the DJ-AIG Commodity Index is re-balanced annually on a price-percentage basis in order to maintain diversified commodities exposure over time.
Continuity. The third goal of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index is to be responsive to the changing nature of commodity markets in a manner that does not completely reshape the character of the Indices from year to year. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is intended to provide a stable benchmark, so that end-users may be reasonably confident that historical performance data (including such diverse measures as correlation, spot yield, roll yield and volatility) is based on a structure that bears some resemblance to both the current and future composition of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index.

 
  IS-13

Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM


Liquidity. Another goal of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index is to be highly liquid. The explicit inclusion of liquidity as a weighting factor helps to ensure that the indices can accommodate substantial investment flows. The liquidity of an index affects transaction costs associated with current investments. It also may affect the reliability of historical price performance data.

These principles represent goals of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index and its creators, and there can be no assurance that these goals will be reached by either Dow Jones or AIGI.

Composition of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index

Commodities Available for Inclusion in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index

The commodities that have been selected for possible inclusion in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are believed by Dow Jones and AIGI to be sufficiently significant to the world economy to merit consideration for inclusion in the Indices, and each such commodity is the subject of a qualifying related futures contract (a “Designated Contract”).

With the exception of several LME contracts, where the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity DJ-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee believes that there exists more than one futures contract with sufficient liquidity to be chosen as a Designated Contract for a commodity, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee selects the futures contract that is traded in North America and denominated in dollars. If more than one such contract exists, the Dow Jones-AIG Commodity Index Oversight Committee selects the most actively traded contract. Data concerning this Designated Contract will be used to calculate the DJ-AIG Commodity Index. The termination or replacement of a futures contract on an established exchange occurs infrequently; if a Designated Contract were to be terminated or replaced, a comparable futures contract would be selected, if available, to replace that Designated Contract.

The 23 potential commodities that may be included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index in a given year currently are aluminum, cocoa, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil, gold, heating oil, lead, cattle, hogs, natural gas, nickel, platinum, silver, soybeans, soybean oil, sugar, tin, unleaded gasoline, wheat and zinc.

Commodity Groups

For purposes of applying the diversification rules discussed above and below, the commodities available for inclusion in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are assigned to Commodity Groups. For current information on Commodity Groups, please refer to http://www.djindexes.com/mdsidx/index.cfm?event=showAigIntro.

Determination of Relative Weightings

The relative weightings of the component commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are determined annually according to both liquidity and dollar-adjusted production data in 2/3 and 1/3 shares, respectively. Each June, for each commodity designated for potential inclusion in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, liquidity is measured by the Commodity Liquidity Percentage (“CLP”) and production by the Commodity Production Percentage (“CPP”). The CLP for each commodity is determined by taking a five-year average of the product of trading volume and the historic dollar value of the Designated Contract for that commodity, and dividing the result by the sum of such products for all commodities which were designated for potential inclusion in the applicable index. The CPP is determined for each commodity by taking a five-year average of annual world production figures, adjusted by the historic dollar value of the Designated Contract, and dividing the result by the sum of such production figures for all the commodities which were designated for potential inclusion in the applicable index. The CLP and the CPP are then combined (using a ratio of 2:1) to establish the Commodity Index Percentage (“CIP”) for each commodity. This CIP is then adjusted in accordance with certain diversification rules in order to determine the commodities which will be included in each index (the “Index Commodities”) and their respective percentage weights.


IS-14  

Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM


Diversification Rules

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is designed to provide diversified exposure to commodities as an asset class. To ensure that no single commodity or commodity sector dominates the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, the following diversification rules are applied to the annual reweighting and rebalancing of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index as of January of the applicable year:

No related group of commodities designated as a “Commodity Group” (e.g., precious metals, livestock, grains or, with respect to the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, energy) may constitute more than 33% of the index.
No single commodity may constitute more than 15% of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index.
No single commodity, together with its derivatives (e.g., crude oil, together with heating oil and unleaded gasoline), may constitute more than 25% of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index.
No single commodity that is in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index may constitute less than 2% of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index.

Following the annual reweighting and rebalancing of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index in January, the percentage of any single commodity or group of commodities at any time prior to the next reweighting or rebalancing will fluctuate and may exceed or be less than the percentages set forth above.

Commodity Index Multipliers

Following application of the diversification rules discussed above, CIPs are incorporated into the DJ-AIG Commodity Index by calculating the new unit weights for each DJ-AIG Commodity Index Commodity. Near the beginning of each new calendar year (the “CIM Determination Date”), the CIPs, along with the settlement prices on that date for Designated Contracts included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, are used to determine a Commodity Index Multiplier (“CIM”) for each DJ-AIG Commodity Index Commodity. This CIM is used to achieve the percentage weightings of the commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index, in dollar terms, indicated by their respective CIPs. After the CIMs are calculated, they remain fixed throughout the year. As a result, the observed price percentage of each DJ-AIG Commodity Index Commodity will float throughout the year, until the CIMs are reset the following year based on new CIPs.

Calculations

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is calculated by Dow Jones, in conjunction with AIGI, by applying the impact of the changes to the futures prices of commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index (based on their relative weightings). Once the CIMs are determined as discussed above, the calculation of the Indices is a mathematical process whereby the CIMs for the commodities included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are multiplied by the prices in US dollars for the applicable Designated Contracts. These products are then summed. The percentage change in this sum is then applied to the prior DJ-AIG Commodity Index level to calculate the current DJ-AIG Commodity Index level. Dow Jones disseminates the DJ-AIG Commodity Index level approximately every fifteen seconds (assuming the DJ-AIG Commodity Index level has changed within such fifteen-second interval) from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), and publishes a daily DJ-AIG Commodity Index level at approximately 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each DJ-AIG Business Day on Reuters page AIGCI1. DJ-AIG Commodity Index levels can also be obtained from the official websites of both Dow Jones and AIGI and are also published in The Wall Street Journal.

Dow Jones-AIG Commodity IndexSM


The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is a Rolling Index

The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, commodity futures contracts normally specify a certain date for the delivery of the underlying physical commodity. In order to avoid delivering the underlying physical commodities and to maintain exposure to the underlying physical commodities, periodically futures contracts on physical commodities specifying delivery on a nearby date must be sold and futures contracts on physical commodities that have not yet reached the delivery period must be purchased. The rollover for each contract occurs over a period of five DJ-AIG Business Days each month according to a pre-determined schedule. This process is known as “rolling” a futures position. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is a “rolling index.”

DJ-AIG Commodity Index Calculation Disruption Events

From time to time, disruptions can occur in trading futures contracts on various commodity exchanges. The daily calculation of an index will be adjusted in the event that AIGI determines that any of the following index calculation disruption events exists:

  (a) the termination or suspension of, or material limitation or disruption in the trading of any futures contract used in the calculation of the index on that day,

  (b) the settlement price of any futures contract used in the calculation of the index reflects the maximum permitted price change from the previous day’s settlement price,

  (c) the failure of an exchange to publish official settlement prices for any futures contract used in the calculation of the index, or

  (d) with respect to any futures contract used in the calculation of the DJ-AIG Commodity Index that trades on the LME, a business day on which the LME is not open for trading.

The Commodity Futures Markets

Contracts on physical commodities are traded on regulated futures exchanges, in the over-the-counter market and on various types of physical and electronic trading facilities and markets. At present, all of the contracts included in the DJ-AIG Commodity Index are exchange-traded futures contracts. An exchange-traded futures contract is a bilateral agreement providing for the purchase and sale of a specified type and quantity of a commodity or financial instrument during a stated delivery month for a fixed price. A futures contract on an index of commodities typically provides for the payment and receipt of a cash settlement based on the value of such commodities. A futures contract provides for a specified settlement month in which the commodity or financial instrument is to be delivered by the seller (whose position is described as “short”) and acquired by the purchaser (whose position is described as “long”) or in which the cash settlement amount is to be made.

There is no purchase price paid or received on the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Instead, an amount of cash or cash equivalents must be deposited with the broker as “initial margin.” This amount varies based on the requirements imposed by the exchange clearing houses, but may be as low as 5% or less of the value of the contract. This margin deposit provides collateral for the obligations of the parties to the futures contract.

By depositing margin in the most advantageous form (which may vary depending on the exchange, clearing house or broker involved), a market participant may be able to earn interest on its margin funds, thereby increasing the potential total return that may be realized from an investment in futures contracts. The market participant normally makes to, and receives from, the broker subsequent payments on a daily basis as the price of the futures contract fluctuates. These payments are called “variation margin” and make the existing positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking to market.”

Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges, known as “contract markets” in the United States, through the facilities of a centralized clearing house and a brokerage firm which is a member of the clearing house. The clearing house guarantees the performance of each clearing member which is a party to the futures contract by, in effect, taking the opposite side of the transaction. At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, subject to the availability of a liquid secondary market, a trader may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position on the exchange on which the trade obtained the position. This operates to terminate the position and fix the trader’s profit or loss.

US contract markets, as well as brokers and market participants, are subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Futures markets outside the United States are generally subject to regulation by comparable regulatory authorities. However, the structure and nature of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may differ from the foregoing description. From its inception to the present, the DJ-AIG Commodity Index has been comprised exclusively of futures contracts traded on regulated exchanges.

We accept responsibility as to the correct reproduction of such information, but no further or other responsibility (express or implied) is accepted by us in respect of such information. UBS has not independently verified this information. You, as an investor in the Securities, should make your own investigation into the Rogers Index and Diapason. Except as provided in the next sentence, none of Beeland Interests, Inc. (“Beeland Interests”), the Index Committee (as defined below), members of the Index Committee individually (except as described in the next sentence) and/or Rogers is involved in the offer of the Securities in any way and has no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Securities. However, UBS is also a member of the Index Committee and its affiliates are involved in the public offering and sale of the Securities and may be engaged in secondary market-making transactions in the Securities. Beeland Interests has no obligation to continue to publish the Rogers Index, and may discontinue publication of the Rogers Index at any time in its sole discretion.

Overview

The Index was developed by Rogers and launched on July 31, 1998. The Rogers Index is a composite US dollar-based index that is designed to serve as a diversified benchmark for the price movements of commodities consumed in the global economy. The Rogers Index is composed of 36 futures contracts on physical commodities traded on ten exchanges in five countries and quoted in four different currencies. The commodities represented in the Rogers Index range from agricultural products and energy products to metals and minerals. The exchanges include the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the London Metal Exchange, the New York Board of Trade, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Tokyo Grain Exchange, the Sydney Futures Exchange, the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange and the Yokohama Commodity Exchange. The commodities futures contracts are quoted in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Japanese yen and Australian dollars.

The Rogers Index aims to be an effective measure of the price action of raw materials not just in the United States but also around the world. The Rogers Index’s weightings attempt to balance consumption patterns worldwide (in developed and developing countries) and specific contract liquidity.

The Index Committee

The Index Committee formulates and enacts all business assessments and decisions regarding the composition of the Rogers Index. Rogers, as the founder of the Rogers Index, chairs the Index Committee and is the final arbiter of its decisions. Beside Rogers, representatives of the following parties are members of the Index Committee: (1) Diapason, (2) Daiwa Asset Management America, (3) Beeland Management Company, (4) UBS, (5) ABN AMRO and (6) Merrill Lynch. Exclusively, Rogers, as chairman of the committee, is authorized to designate new members of the committee, if necessary.

The Index Committee meets each December to consider changes in the components and weightings of the Rogers Index for the following calendar year; however, such changes can be made at any time.

Rogers Index Composition

The Process

The contracts chosen for the basket of commodities that constitute the Rogers Index are required to fulfill various conditions described below. Generally, the selection and weighting of the items in the Rogers Index are reviewed annually by the Index Committee, and weights for the next year are assigned every December.

The Rogers Index’s composition is modified in order to maintain liquidity and stability, and the composition of the Rogers Index generally will not be changed unless severe circumstances in fact occur. Such “severe circumstances” may include (but are not restricted to):

continuous adverse trading conditions for a single contract (e.g., trading volume collapses), or
critical changes in the global consumption pattern (e.g., scientific breakthroughs that fundamentally alter consumption of a commodity).

Exchanges and Non-Traded Items

All commodities included in the Rogers Index must be publicly traded on recognized exchanges in order to ensure ease of tracking and verification. The 14 international exchanges recognized by the Index Committee are:

   
1. Chicago Mercantile Exchange (USA) 8.   Sydney Futures Exchange (Australia)
2. Chicago Board of Trade (USA) 9.   Fukuoka Futures Exchange (Japan)
3. New York Board of Trade (USA) 10.   Central Japan Commodity Exchange (Japan)
4. New York Mercantile Exchange (USA) 11.   Osaka Mercantile Exchange (Japan)
5. Winnipeg Commodity Exchange (Canada) 12.   The Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Japan)
6. International Petroleum Exchange (UK) 13.   Tokyo Grain Exchange (Japan)
7. London Metal Exchange (UK) 14.   Yokohama Commodity Exchange (Japan).

General Contract Eligibility

A commodity may be considered suitable for inclusion in the Rogers Index if it plays a significant role in worldwide (developed and developing economies) consumption. “Worldwide consumption” is measured by tracking international import and export patterns, and domestic consumption environments of the world’s prime commodity consumers. Only raw materials that reflect the current state of international trade and commerce are eligible to become Index Commodities. Commodities that are merely linked to national consumption patterns will not be considered. The Rogers Index is not related to any commodities production data.

Commodity Screening Process

Data of private and governmental providers concerning the world’s top consumed commodities is actively monitored and analyzed by the members of the Index Committee throughout the year. In order to obtain the most accurate picture of international commodities consumption, a wide range of sources on commodities demand and supply is consulted. The findings of this research are then condensed into the different commodities contracts weightings of the Rogers Index. Sources on global commodity consumption data include:

Industrial Commodity Statistics Yearbook, United Nations (New York)
Commodity Trade Statistics Database, United Nations Statistic Division (New York)

Contract Characteristics

In order to decide whether a specific commodity contract is actually investable, the Index Committee screens the volume and liquidity data of international exchanges, published on a regular basis by the Futures Industry Association (Washington, DC, United States). Additionally individual exchange data on contracts may also be included in the process.

If a commodity contract trades on more than one exchange, the most liquid contract globally, in terms of volume and open interest combined, is then selected for inclusion in the Rogers Index, taking legal considerations into account. Beyond liquidity, the Index Committee seeks to include the contract representing the highest quality grade of a specific commodity.

Rogers Index Weightings

As of the date of this index supplement, the Index components have the initial weightings listed in the following chart (the “Initial Weightings”). The Initial Weightings may be amended from time to time, as described below.

Changes in Weights and/or Index Composition

The Index Committee reviews the selection and weighting of the futures contracts in the Rogers Index annually. Thus, weights are potentially reassigned during each month of December for the following year, if the Index Committee so determines in its sole discretion.

Monthly Rolling of Contracts

On the close of the last business day of each month, all the futures contracts used to calculate the Rogers Index, except for the contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange, are rolled. Generally, if the next calendar month of a futures contract includes a first notice day, a delivery day or historical evidence that liquidity migrates to a next contract month during this period, then the next contract month is intended to be applied to calculate the Rogers Index, taking legal constraints into account. For example, on the close of the last business day of November, the January Crude Oil contract is replaced by the February Crude


IS-22  

Rogers International Commodity Index® Excess ReturnSM


Oil contract. If the exchange on which one of the Rogers Index components is closed the last business day of the month, the roll of this specific contract takes place the next business day for that exchange.

Rebalancing of the Rogers Index Components

On the close of the last business day of each month, the current weight of each Rogers Index component is rebalanced in order to be set at its Initial Weighting. If the exchange on which one of the Rogers Index components is traded is closed on the last business day of the month, the reference price for the calculation of the weighting of this specific component is the closing price of the next business day. This rule is also valid if there is more than one component that cannot be traded on the last business day of the month.

Data Source

The Rogers Index calculation is based on the official commodity exchanges’ prices of the futures contracts used. Diapason is not responsible for the existence of any errors, delays, omissions or inaccuracies in data provided by a third party to Diapason that is used by Diapason to calculate the Rogers Index.

Market Disruption

If, for any reason, one of the Rogers Index components ceases to exist or its liquidity collapses to unacceptable levels, or any other similar event occurs with similar consequences, as determined at the discretion of the Index Committee, the Index Committee will call an exceptional meeting to assess the situation and decide on a replacement for this component or on a change in the weighting. For example, following a currency board on the Malaysian ringgit in 1998, the liquidity of the Palm Oil futures contract on the Kuala Lumpur Commodity Exchange collapsed to a point where it became impossible to trade it. In that case, the Index Committee, calling an exceptional meeting, decided to replace the Palm Oil futures contract with the Soybean Oil contract that trades on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Reference Rates

The foreign exchange rates used to translate the value of the futures contracts denominated in a foreign currency into US dollars are obtained from Bloomberg. This is the “close” value for each currency taken at 5:00 p.m. New York time.

Calculation of the Rogers Index

Diapason is responsible for calculating the Rogers Index and disseminating quotes of the Rogers Index continuously from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Central European Time on the Rogers Index business days.

Excess Return vs. Total Return

The Rogers Index reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical commodities composing the Rogers Index. The Rogers International Commodity Index®(Total Return), a “total return” index, reflects those returns as well as any interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in 3-month treasury bills. The term “Excess Return” in the title of the Rogers Index is not intended to suggest that the performance of the Rogers Index at any time or the return on your Securities will be positive or that the Rogers Index is designed to exceed a particular benchmark.

AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index

Unless otherwise stated, all information contained herein on the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index (the “HK Index”) is derived from publicly available sources. Such information reflects the policies of the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “HK Index Sponsor”) as stated in such sources and such policies are subject to change by the HK Index Sponsor. The HK Index, a service mark of the HK Index Sponsor, is a capitalization-weighted stock index designed, developed, maintained and operated by the HK Index Sponsor that measures the market value performance (share price times the number of shares outstanding) of selected The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. (the “HKSE”) listed stocks. The HK Index currently is based on the capitalization of 30 stocks actively traded on the HKSE and is designed to represent a substantial segment of the Hong Kong stock market. The primary trading market for all of these stocks is either Hong Kong or London. Business sector representation of the stocks comprising the HK Index as of January 17, 2007 consists primarily of finance, energy, property development, utilities and conglomerates, and also includes hotel/leisure, property investment, airlines, telecommunications, transportation and publishing. The HK Index was established on June 25, 1993.

The HK Index is maintained by the HK Index Sponsor and will contain at least 30 stocks at all times. In addition, the stocks must meet certain listing and maintenance standards as discussed below. The HK Index Sponsor may change the composition of the HK Index at any time in order to more accurately reflect the composition and track the movement of the Hong Kong stock market. Any replacement stock must also meet the stock listing and maintenance standards as discussed below. Further, the HK Index Sponsor may replace stocks in the event of certain corporate events, such as takeovers or mergers, that change the nature of the security. The HK Index Sponsor selects stocks comprising the HK Index on the basis of their market weight, trading liquidity and representation of the business industries reflected on the HKSE. The HK Index Sponsor requires that each stock be one issued by an entity with major business interests in Hong Kong, be listed for trading on the HKSE and have its primary trading market located in a country with which the HK Index Sponsor has an effective surveillance sharing agreement. The HK Index Sponsor will remove any stock failing to meet the above listing and maintenance criteria within 30 days after such failure occurs. In order to ensure that the HK Index does not contain a large number of thinly capitalized, low-priced securities with small public floats and low trading volumes, the HK Index Sponsor has also established additional qualification criteria for the inclusion and maintenance of stocks, based on the following standards: all stocks selected for inclusion in the HK Index must have, and thereafter maintain, (1) an average daily capitalization, as calculated by the total number of shares outstanding times the latest price per share (in Hong Kong dollars), measured over the prior 6-month period, of at least H.K.$3,000,000,000; (2) an average daily closing price, measured over the prior 6-month period, not lower than H.K.$2.50; (3) an average daily trading volume, measured over the prior 6-month period, of more than 1,000,000 shares per day, although up to, but no more than, three stocks may have an average daily trading volume, measured over the prior 6-month period, of less than 1,000,000 shares per day, but in no event less than 500,000 shares per day; and (4) a minimum “free float” value (total freely tradable outstanding shares minus insider holdings), based on a monthly average measured over the prior 3-month period, of US$238,000,000, although up to, but no more than, three stocks may have a free float value of less than US$238,000,000 but in no event less than US$238,000,000, measured over the same period.

The HK Index Sponsor reviews and applies the above qualification criteria relating to the stocks comprising the HK Index on a quarterly basis, conducted on the last business day in January, April, July and October. Any stock failing to meet the above listing and maintenance criteria will be reviewed on the second Friday of the second month following the quarterly review to again determine compliance with the above criteria. Any stock failing this second review will be replaced by a “qualified” stock effective


IS-26  

AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index


upon the close of business on the following Friday, provided, however, that if such Friday is not a New York business day, the replacement will be effective at the close of business on the first preceding New York business day. The HK Index Sponsor will notify its membership immediately after it determines to replace a stock.

The annual reports and prospectuses of the companies listed on the HKSE are available for investors’ inspection in the City Hall Library (a public library in Hong Kong, Central). The HKSE library also has information for each listed company, but it is available only to members of the HKSE. A company whose stock is included in the HK Index is not required to be incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong.

The HK Index is a capitalization-weighted index. A company’s market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the company’s current share price (in Hong Kong dollars). For valuation purposes, one HK Index unit is assigned a fixed value of one US dollar. The HK Index measures the average changes in price of the stocks comprising the HK Index, weighted according to the respective market capitalizations, so that the effect of a percentage price change in a stock will be greater the larger the stock’s market capitalization. The HK Index was established by the HK Index Sponsor on June 25, 1993, on which date the HK Index value was set at 350.00. The daily calculation and public dissemination by the HK Index Sponsor of the HK Index value commenced on September 1, 1993. The data relating to the HK Index was back-calculated by the HK Index Sponsor from January 2, 1989 to August 31, 1993.

The HK Index is calculated by (i) aggregating the market capitalization of each stock comprising the HK Index and (ii) dividing such sum by an adjusted base market capitalization or divisor. On June 25, 1993, the market value of the Underlying Stocks was approximately H.K.$1,152,829,149,500 and the divisor used to calculate the HK Index was 3,293,797,570. The HK Index Sponsor selected that particular divisor number in order, among other things, to ensure that the HK Index was set at a general price level consistent with other well recognized stock market indices. The divisor is subject to periodic adjustments as set forth below. The HK Index is calculated once each day by the HK Index Sponsor based on the most recent official closing prices of each of the stocks comprising the HK Index reported by the HKSE. Pricing of the HK Index is disseminated before the opening of trading via the Consolidated Tape Authority Network-B and continuously during each New York business day. The dissemination value, however, will remain the same throughout the trading day because the trading hours of the HKSE do not overlap with New York trading hours. Accordingly, updated price information will be unavailable.

In order to maintain continuity in the level of the HK Index in the event of certain changes due to nonmarket factors affecting the stocks comprising the HK Index, such as the addition or deletion of stocks, substitution of stocks, stock dividends, stock splits, distributions of assets to stockholders or other capitalization events, the divisor used in calculating the HK Index is adjusted in a manner designed to prevent any instantaneous change or discontinuity in the level of the HK Index and in order that the value of the HK Index immediately after such change will equal the level of the HK Index immediately prior to the change. Thereafter, the divisor remains at the new value until a further adjustment is necessary as the result of another change. Nevertheless, changes in the identities and characteristics of the stocks comprising the HK Index may significantly affect the behavior of the HK Index over time.

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd.

Trading on the HKSE is fully electronic through an Automatic Order Matching and Execution System, which was introduced in November 1983. The system is an electronic order book in which orders are matched and executed instantaneously if there are matching orders in the book, and on the basis of time/price priority. On-line real-time order entry and execution have eliminated the previous limitations of telephone-based trading. Trading takes place through trading terminals on the trading floor. There are no market-makers on the HKSE, but exchange dealers may act as dual capacity broker-dealers. Trading is


 
  IS-27

AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index


undertaken from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) every Hong Kong day except Saturdays, Sundays and other days on which the HKSE is closed. Hong Kong time is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Settlement of trade is required within 48 hours and is conducted by electronic book-entry delivery through the Central Clearing and Settlement System.

Due to the time differences between New York City and Hong Kong, on any normal trading day, trading on the HKSE currently will cease at 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m., New York City time. Using the last reported closing prices of the stocks underlying the HK Index on the HKSE, the closing level of the HK Index on any such trading day generally will be calculated, published and disseminated by the HK Index Sponsor in the United States shortly before the opening of trading on the American Stock Exchange in New York on the same calendar day.

The HKSE has adopted certain measures intended to prevent any extreme short-term price fluctuations resulting from order imbalances or market volatility. Where the HKSE considers it necessary for the protection of the investor or the maintenance of an orderly market, it may at any time suspend dealings in any securities or cancel the listing of any securities in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, whether requested by the listed issuer or not. The HKSE may also do so where: (1) an issuer fails, in a manner which the HKSE considers material, to comply with the HKSE Listing Rules or its Listing Agreements; (2) the HKSE considers there are insufficient securities in the hands of the public; (3) the HKSE considers that the listed issuer does not have a sufficient level of operations or sufficient assets to warrant the continued listing of the issuer’s securities; or (4) the HKSE considers that the issuer or its business is no longer suitable for listing. Investors should also be aware that the HKSE may suspend the trading of individual stocks in certain limited and extraordinary circumstances, until certain price-sensitive information has been disclosed to the public. Trading will not be resumed until a formal announcement has been made. Trading of a company’s shares may also be suspended if there is unusual trading activity in such shares.

An issuer may apply for suspension of its own accord. A suspension request will normally only be acceded to in the following circumstances: (1) where, for a reason acceptable to the HKSE, price-sensitive information cannot at that time be disclosed; (2) where the issuer is subject to an offer, but only where terms have been agreed in principle and require discussion with, and agreement by, one or more major shareholders (suspensions will only normally be appropriate where no previous announcement has been made); (3) to maintain an orderly market; (4) where there is an occurrence of certain levels of notifiable transactions, such as substantial changes in the nature, control or structure of the issuer, where publication of full details is necessary to permit a realistic valuation to be made of the securities concerned, or the approval of shareholders is required; (5) where the issuer is no longer suitable for listing, or becomes a “cash” company; or (6) for issuers going into receivership or liquidation. As a result of the foregoing, variations in the HK Index may be limited by suspension of trading of individual stocks which comprise the HK Index which may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the Securities.

Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index

We have derived all information regarding the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index (the “EURO STOXX Index”) contained in this index supplement from publicly available information without independent verification. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, STOXX Limited (the “EURO STOXX Index Sponsor”). The EURO STOXX Index Sponsor owns the copyright and all other rights to the EURO STOXX Index. The EURO STOXX Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the EURO STOXX Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

The EURO STOXX Index seeks to provide exposure to European large capitalization equity securities. The EURO STOXX Index universe is defined as all components of the 18 Dow Jones EURO STOXX Supersector Indices. The Dow Jones EURO STOXX Supersector Indices represent the Eurozone portion of the Dow Jones STOXX Total Market Index (the “Dow Jones STOXX TMI”), which in turn covers 95% of the total market capitalization of the stocks traded on the major exchanges of 17 European countries. The EURO STOXX Index universe includes Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. The stocks that compose the EURO STOXX Index are traded in Euros and in other European currencies.

For each of the 18 Dow Jones EURO STOXX Supersector Indices, the component stocks are ranked by free-float market capitalization. The largest stocks are added to the selection list until the coverage is close to, but still less than, 60% of the free-float market capitalization of the corresponding Dow Jones STOXX TMI Supersector index. If the next-ranked stock brings the coverage closer to 60% in absolute terms, then it is also added to the selection list.

Any remaining stocks that are currently components of the EURO STOXX Index are added to the selection list. The stocks on the selection list are ranked by free-float market capitalization. In exceptional cases, the EURO STOXX Index Sponsor’s Supervisory Board may make additions and deletions to the selection list.

The 40 largest stocks on the selection list are chosen as components. Any remaining current components of the EURO STOXX Index ranked between 41 and 60 are added as EURO STOXX Index components. If the component number is still below 50, then the largest stocks on the selection list are added until the EURO STOXX Index contains 50 stocks. The EURO STOXX Index composition is reviewed annually in September and is subject to change.

The EURO STOXX Index is weighted by free-float market capitalization. Each component’s weight is capped at 10% of the EURO STOXX Index’s total free-float market capitalization. Weights are reviewed quarterly and are also subject to change in response to specific events affecting the EURO STOXX Index component stocks.

The EURO STOXX Index is denominated in Euros. The EURO STOXX Index Return will be calculated based on the closing levels of the EURO STOXX Index, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. under ticker symbol “SX5E.”

FTSE/Xinhua China 25 IndexTM

All information in this index supplement regarding the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 IndexTM (the “China 25 Index”), including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, is derived from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, FTSE Xinhua Index Limited or any of its affiliates (the “China 25 Index Sponsor”). The China 25 Index Sponsor owns the copyright and all other rights to the China 25 Index. The China 25 Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the China 25 Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. Historical performance of the China 25 Index is not an indication of future performance. Future performance of the China 25 Index may differ significantly from historical performance, either positively or negatively.

The China 25 Index is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. The China 25 Index is a real-time index consisting of 25 of the largest and most liquid Chinese stocks (each, a “China 25 Index Constituent Stock”) listed and trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE). The shares comprised by the China 25 Index are classified as “H Shares” or “Red Chip Shares.” H Shares are securities of companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and nominated by the Chinese Government for listing and trading on the HKSE. H Shares are quoted and traded in Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Like other securities trading on the HKSE, there are no restrictions on who can trade H Shares. Red Chip Shares are securities of Hong Kong incorporated companies that trade on the HKSE. These securities are quoted and traded in HKD. Red Chip Shares are shares of companies that are substantially owned directly or indirectly by the Chinese Government and have a majority of their business interests in mainland China. The China 25 Index is published every 15 seconds between 10:00 a.m. and 4:15 p.m., Hong Kong time, using last trade prices. End of day data is as of 4:30 p.m. The China 25 Index is not calculated on Hong Kong public holidays.

The China 25 Index is calculated using the free float index calculation methodology of FTSE Group. The index is calculated using the following formula:

 

∑pnensnfncn

 
d

where p is the latest trade price of the component security n, e is the exchange rate required to convert the security’s home currency into the index’s base currency, s is the number of shares of the security in issue, f is the portion of free floating shares, adjusted in accordance with the policies of the China 25 Index Sponsor, c is the capping factor published by the China 25 Index Sponsor at the most recent quarterly review of the index, and d is the divisor, a figure that represents the total issued share capital of the index at the base date, which may be adjusted to allow for changes in the issued share capital of individual securities without distorting the index. The China 25 Index uses actual trade prices for securities with local stock exchange quotations and Reuters real-time spot currency rates for its calculations.

Under this methodology, the China 25 Index Sponsor excludes from free floating shares trade investments in a China 25 Index constituent company by another China 25 Index constituent company, significant long-term holdings by founders, directors and/or their families, employee share schemes (if restricted), government holdings, foreign ownership limits, and portfolio investments subject to lock-in clauses (for the duration of the clause). Free float restrictions are calculated using available published information. The initial weighting of a China 25 Index Constituent Stock is applied in bands, as follows:


IS-32  

FTSE/Xinhua China 25 IndexTM


Free float less than or equal to 15%

Ineligible for inclusion in the China 25 Index, unless free float is also greater than 5% and the full capitalization is greater than US$2.5 billion (or local currency equivalent), in which case actual free float is used.

 

 

Free float greater than 15%

20%

but less than or equal to 20%

 

 

 

Free float greater than 20%

30%

but less than or equal to 30%

 

 

 

Free float greater than 30%

40%

but less than or equal to 40%

 

 

 

Free float greater than 40%

50%

but less than or equal to 50%

 

 

 

Free float greater than 50%

75%

but less than or equal to 75%

 

 

 

Free float greater than 75%

100%

These bands are narrow at the lower end, to ensure that there is sufficient sensitivity in order to maintain accurate representation, and broader at the higher end, in order to ensure that the weightings of larger companies do not fluctuate absent a significant corporate event. Following the application of an initial free float restriction, a China 25 Index Constituent Stock’s free float will only be changed if its actual free float is more than 5 percentage points above the minimum or 5 percentage points below the maximum of an adjacent band. This 5 percentage points threshold does not apply if the initial free float is less than 15%. Foreign ownership limits, if any, are applied after calculating the actual free float restriction, but before applying the bands shown above. If the foreign ownership limit is more restrictive than the free float restriction, the precise foreign ownership limit is applied. If the foreign ownership limit is less restrictive or equal to the free float restriction, the free float restriction is applied, subject to the bands shown above.

As of December 2005, the China 25 Index adopted a new classification system, the Industry

Classification Benchmark (“ICB”). The ICB replaced the FTSE Global Classification System formerly used by the China 25 Index and covers over 45,000 securities worldwide. The new structure is a merger of FTSE Group and Dow Jones Indexes’ industry classification systems, creating a single, definitive structure for the market. The primary purpose of the ICB is to provide a service to investors and other interested persons by grouping companies according to homogenous subsectors in such a way that general industrial and economic themes may be common to all companies in the sector. The sectors themselves will be aggregated into supersectors, which will be aggregated into industries.

The China 25 Index is periodically reviewed for changes in free float. These reviews coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken of the China 25 Index. Implementation of any changes takes place after the close of the index calculation on the third Friday in January, April, July and October. A stock’s free float is also reviewed and adjusted if necessary following certain corporate events. If the corporate event includes a corporate action which affects the China 25 Index, any change in free float is implemented at the same time as the corporate action. If there is no corporate action, the change in free float is applied as soon as practicable after the corporate event.

Stocks must be sufficiently liquid to be traded. The following criteria, among others, are used to ensure that illiquid stocks are excluded:

Price. The China 25 Index Sponsor must be satisfied that an accurate and reliable price exists for the purposes of determining the market value of a company. The China 25 Index Sponsor may exclude a stock from the China 25 Index if it considers that an “accurate and reliable” price is not available. The China 25 Index uses the last trade prices from the relevant stock exchanges, when available.
Liquidity. Stocks in the China 25 Index will be reviewed annually for liquidity. Stocks that do not turn over at least 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for ten of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review by the China 25 Index Sponsor will not be eligible for inclusion in the China 25 Index. An existing constituent failing to trade at least 2.0% of its shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for more than four of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review will be removed after close of the index calculation on the next trading day following the third Friday in January, April, July and October. Any period when a share is suspended will be excluded from the calculation.
New issues. New issues must have a minimum trading record of at least 20 trading days prior to the date of the review and turnover of a minimum of 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month each month, except in certain circumstances.

The China 25 Index, like other indices of the China 25 Index Sponsor, is governed by an independent advisory committee that ensures that the index is operated in accordance with its published ground rules, and that the rules remain relevant to the China 25 Index.

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd.

Trading on the HKSE is fully electronic through an Automatic Order Matching and Execution System, which was introduced in November 1983. The system is an electronic order book in which orders are matched and executed instantaneously if there are matching orders in the book, and on the basis of time/price priority. Online real-time order entry and execution have eliminated the previous limitations of telephone-based trading. Trading takes place through trading terminals on the trading floor. There are no market-makers on the HKSE, but exchange dealers may act as dual capacity broker-dealers. Trading is undertaken from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) every Hong Kong day except Saturdays, Sundays and other days on which the HKSE is closed. Hong Kong time is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Settlement of trade is required within 48 hours and is conducted by electronic book-entry delivery through the Central Clearing and Settlement System.

Due to the time differences between New York City and Hong Kong, on any normal trading day, trading on the HKSE currently will cease at 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m., New York City time. Therefore, the closing level of the China 25 Index will generally be available in the United States by the opening of business on that business day.

The HKSE has adopted certain measures intended to prevent any extreme short-term price fluctuations resulting from order imbalances or market volatility. Where the HKSE considers it necessary for the protection of the investor or the maintenance of an orderly market, it may at any time suspend dealings in any securities or cancel the listing of any securities in such circumstances and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, whether requested by the listed issuer or not. The HKSE may also do so where: (1) an issuer fails, in a manner which the HKSE considers material, to comply with the HKSE Listing Rules or its Listing Agreements; (2) the HKSE considers there are insufficient securities in the hands of the public; (3) the HKSE considers that the listed issuer does not have a sufficient level of operations or sufficient assets to warrant the continued listing of the issuer’s securities; or (4) the HKSE considers that the issuer or its business is no longer suitable for listing. Investors should also be aware that the HKSE may suspend the trading of individual stocks in certain limited and extraordinary circumstances, until certain price-sensitive information has been disclosed to the public. Trading will not be resumed until a


IS-34  

FTSE/Xinhua China 25 IndexTM


formal announcement has been made. Trading of a company’s shares may also be suspended if there is unusual trading activity in such shares.

An issuer may apply for suspension of its own accord. A suspension request will normally only be acceded to in the following circumstances: (1) where, for a reason acceptable to the HKSE, price-sensitive information cannot at that time be disclosed; (2) where the issuer is subject to an offer, but only where terms have been agreed in principle and require discussion with, and agreement by, one or more major shareholders (suspensions will only normally be appropriate where no previous announcement has been made); (3) to maintain an orderly market; (4) where there is an occurrence of certain levels of notifiable transactions, such as substantial changes in the nature, control or structure of the issuer, where publication of full details is necessary to permit a realistic valuation to be made of the securities concerned, or the approval of shareholders is required; (5) where the issuer is no longer suitable for listing, or becomes a “cash” company; or (6) for issuers going into receivership or liquidation. As a result of the foregoing, variations in the China 25 Index may be limited by suspension of trading of individual stocks which comprise the China 25 Index which may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the Securities.

Hang Seng China Enterprises Index

We have derived all information contained in this index description regarding the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (the “HSCE Index”), including, without limitation, its composition, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of HSI Services Limited (“HSI”), and is subject to change at the discretion of HSI. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. HSI is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index at any time.

Hang Seng China Enterprises Index Composition and Maintenance

The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index is compiled, published and managed by HSI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hang Seng Bank. The HSCE Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index. Launched on August 8, 1994, the HSCE Index is comprised of H-shares, which are Hong Kong listed shares, of Chinese state-owned enterprises (“H-share companies”). The HSCE Index had a base value of 1,000 at launch, but was rebased as of January 3, 2000 with a value of 2,000 to align with the Hang Seng Composite Index Series, which launched on October 3, 2001. The HSCE Index is reviewed semi-annually, at the same time as the Hang Seng Composite Index (the “HSCI”), and the HSCE Index is comprised of only those H-share companies that are included in the HSCI. The H-share companies that join or leave the HSCI are automatically included in or excluded from the HSCE Index. As of March 12, 2007, the HSCE Index consisted of forty-one (41) companies.

To be included in the HSCI, and, thus, be eligible for inclusion in the HSCE Index, a component stock must have a primary listing on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (the “SEHK”). Ineligible from the HSCI are those companies with a secondary listing in Hong Kong, stocks listed on the Growth Enterprises Market, and preference shares, debt securities or other derivatives.

A component stock is selected or removed from the HSCI semi-annually based on the following selection criteria and process:

Constituent stocks must not have more than twenty (20) trading days without turnover in the past twelve (12) months, excluding the days when the stock is suspended from trading (“Turnover Screening”); and
After the Turnover Screening, the top 200 stocks in terms of average market capitalization in the past twelve (12) months are selected as constituents. Stocks with less than one year listing history are counted on a pro-rata basis.

HSCI, which aims to cover 90% of the market capitalization of stocks listed on the Main Board of the SEHK, consists of 200 constituents.

Hang Seng China Enterprises Index


Calculation Methodology

The HSCE Index is calculated using the following formula:

     
Current Index =    

∑ (Pt x IS x FAF x CF)


∑ (Pt-1 x IS x FAF x CF)
    x Yesterday’s Closing Index
     

Where Pt is the current price at day t, Pt-1 is the closing price at day (t-1), IS is the issued H-shares, FAF is the free float adjusted factor, and CF is the Cap Factor. The FAF, which is adjusted every six months, represents the proportion of shares that are free floated as a percentage of the issued H-shares. The FAF is between 0 and 1 and is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5% for index calculation. The CF is also adjusted every six months and is calculated so that no constituent stock has a weighting that exceeds 15%.

The following shareholdings are viewed as strategic in nature and are excluded from the HSCE Index calculation:

Strategic holdings: shares held by strategic shareholder(s) who individually or collectively control more than 30% of the shareholdings;
Directors’ holdings: shares held by director(s) who individually control more than 5% of the shareholdings;
Cross-holdings: shares held by a Hong Kong-listed company which controls more than 5% of the shareholdings as investments; and
Lock-up shares: shares held by shareholder(s) who individually or collectively represent more than 5% of the shareholdings in the company and have a publicly disclosed lock-up arrangement.

Korea KOSPI 200 Index

All information in this index supplement regarding the Korea KOSPI 200 Index (the “KOSPI2 Index”), including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, is derived from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by the Korea Stock Exchange (“KSE”). KSE owns the copyright and all other rights to the KOSPI2 Index. KSE has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the KOSPI2 Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. Historical performance of the KOSPI2 Index is not an indication of future performance. Future performance of the KOSPI2 Index may differ significantly from historical performance, either positively or negatively.

The KOSPI2 Index, which is the underlying index for stock index futures and options trading, is composed of 200 blue chips and accounts for about 90% of the total market capitalization of the KSE. The constituent stocks are selected on a basis of the market value of the individual stocks, liquidity and their relative positions in the industry groups they belong. The base date for the index is January 3, 1990 and the base index is 100.

The Korea Stock Exchange

The KSE’s predecessor, the Daehan Stock Exchange, was established in 1956. The KSE is a typical order-driven market, where buy and sell orders compete for best prices. The KSE seeks to maintain a fair and orderly market for trading and regulates and supervises its member firms.

Throughout the trading hours, orders are matched at a price satisfactory to both buy and sell sides, according to price and time priorities. The opening and closing prices, however, are determined by call auctions: at the market opening and closing, orders received for a certain period of time are pooled and matched at the price at which the most number of shares can be executed. The KSE uses electronic trading procedures, from order placement to trade confirmation. The KSE is open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Korean time, during weekdays. Investors can submit their orders from 8:00 a.m., one hour before the market opening. Orders delivered to the market during the period from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. are queued in the order book and matched by call auction method at 9:00 a.m. to determine opening prices. After opening prices are determined, the trades are conducted by continuous auctions until 2:50 p.m. (10 minutes before the market closing). Besides the regular session, the KSE conducts pre-hours and after-hours sessions for block trading and basket trading.

On January 26, 2004, the KSE introduced the random-end system at the opening and closing call auctions. The stated purpose of the random-end system is to prevent any distortion in the price discovery function of the KSE caused by “fake” orders placed with an intention of misleading other investors. In cases where the highest or lowest indicative price of a stock set during the last 5 minutes before the closing time of the opening (or closing) call session, 8:55–9:00 a.m. (or 2:55–3:00 p.m.), deviates from the provisional opening (or closing) price by 5 percent or more, the KSE delays the determination of the opening (or closing) price of the stock up to five minutes. The official opening (or closing) price of such stock is determined at a randomly chosen time within five minutes after the regular opening (or closing) time. The KSE makes public the indicative prices during the opening (or closing) call trading sessions. Pooling together all bids and offers placed during the order receiving hours for the opening (or closing) session, 8:10–9:00 a.m. (or 2:50–3:00 p.m.), the indicative opening (or closing) prices of all stocks are released to the public on a real-time basis.

The KSE sets a limit on the range that the price of individual stocks can change during a day. In addition, when the price and/or trading activities of a stock are expected to show an abnormal movement in response to an unidentified rumor or news, or when an abnormal movement is observed in the market,


  IS-39 

Korea KOSPI 200 Index


the KSE may halt the trading of the stock. In such cases, the KSE requests the company concerned to make a disclosure regarding the matter. Once the company makes an official announcement regarding the matter, trading can resume within an hour; however, if the KSE deems that the situation was not fully resolved by the disclosure, trading resumption may be delayed.

The KSE introduced circuit breakers in December 1998. The trading in the equity markets is halted for 20 minutes when the KOSPI2 Index falls by 10 percent or more from the previous day’s closing and the situation lasts for one minute or longer. The trading resumes by call auction where the orders submitted during the 10 minutes after the trading halt ended are matched at a single price.

As a result of the foregoing, variations in the KOSPI2 Index may be limited by suspension of trading of the KOSPI2 Index Constituent Stocks, individually or in the aggregate, which may in turn adversely affect the value of the Securities.

MSCI Taiwan IndexSM

MSCI Thailand IndexSM

The MSCI Thailand IndexSM (the “MSCI Thailand Index”) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in Thailand. The MSCI Thailand Index is calculated by MSCI and reported by Bloomberg L.P. under the ticker symbol “MXTH.”

Constructing the MSCI Standard Index Series

MSCI undertakes an index construction process which involves:

Defining the equity universe.
Adjusting the total market capitalization of all securities in the universe for free floating available to foreign investors.
Classifying the universe of securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”).
Selecting securities for inclusion according to MSCI’s index construction rules and guidelines.

Defining the Equity Universe

The index construction process starts at the country level, with the identification of the universe of investment opportunities.

MSCI classifies each company and its securities in one and only one country. This allows securities to be sorted distinctly by their respective countries. In general, companies and their respective securities are classified as belonging to the country in which they are incorporated. All listed equity securities, or listed securities that exhibit characteristics of equity securities, except investment trusts, mutual funds and equity derivatives, are eligible for inclusion in the universe. Generally, only equity or equity-like securities that are listed in the country of classification are included in the universe.

Adjusting the Total Market Capitalization of Securities for Free Float

After identifying the universe of securities, MSCI calculates the free float-adjusted market capitalization of each security in that universe. The process of free floating-adjusting market capitalization involves:

Defining and estimating the free float available to foreign investors for each security, using MSCI’s definition of free float.
Assigning a free float-adjustment factor to each security.
Calculating the free float-adjustment market capitalization of each security.

MSCI defines the free float of a security as the proportion of shares outstanding that are deemed to be available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors. In practice, limitations on free float available to international investors include:


 
 IS-42

MSCI Standard Index Series


Strategic and other shareholdings not considered part of available free float.
Limits on share ownership for foreign investors.
Other foreign investment restrictions.

MSCI’s estimation of free float is based solely on publicly available shareholder information obtained from multiple information sources. For each security, all available shareholdings are considered where public data is available, regardless of the size of the shareholding. Construction may be conducted with analysts, other industry experts and official company contracts, particularly where disclosure standards or data quality make the estimation of free float difficult.

Classifying the universe of securities under the Global Industry Classification Standard

In addition to the free floating-adjustment of market capitalization, all securities in the universe are assigned to the industry that best describes their business activities. To this end, MSCI has designed, in conjunction with Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”). The comprehensive classification scheme provides a universal approach to industries worldwide and forms the basis for achieving MSCI’s objective of reflecting broad and fair representation in its indices.

GICS consists of 10 sectors, 24 industry groups, 64 industries and 139 sub-industries. Each company is assigned to one sub-industry. The GICS guidelines used to determine the appropriate industry classification are:

A security is classified in a sub-industry according to the business activities that generate approximately 60% or more of the company’s revenues.
A company engaged in two or more substantially different business activities, none of which contributes 60% or more of revenues, is classified in the sub-industry that provides the majority of both the company’s revenues and earnings.
Where the above guidelines cannot be applied, or are considered inappropriate, further analysis is conducted, and other factors are analyzed to determine an appropriate classification.

Selecting Securities for Index Inclusion

In order to ensure a broad and fair representation in the indices of the diversity of business activities in the universe, MSCI follows a “bottom-up” approach to index construction, building indices from the industry group level up. The bottom-up approach to index construction requires a thorough analysis and understanding of the characteristics of the universe. This analysis drives the individual security selection decisions, which aim to reflect the overall features of the universe in the country index.

MSCI targets an 85% free float-adjusted market representation level within each industry group, within each country. The security selection process within each industry group is based on the careful analysis of:

Each company’s business activities and the diversification that its securities would bring to the index.
The size (based on free float-adjusted market capitalization) and liquidity of securities. All other things being equal, MSCI targets for inclusion the most sizable and liquid securities in an industry group. In addition, securities that do not meet the minimum size guidelines discussed below and/or securities with inadequate liquidity are not considered for inclusion.

  IS-43 

MSCI Standard Index Series


The estimated free float for the company and its individual share classes. Only securities of companies with an estimated overall and/or security free float greater than 15% are, in general, considered for inclusion.

Maintaining the MSCI Standard Index Series

Overall, index maintenance can be described by three broad categories of implementation of changes.

Annual full country index reviews that systematically re-assess the various dimensions of the equity universe for all countries and are conducted on a fixed annual timetable.
Quarterly index reviews, aimed at promptly reflecting other significant market events.
Ongoing event-related changes, such as mergers and acquisitions, which are generally implemented in the indices rapidly as they occur.

Potential changes in the status of countries (standalone, emerging, developed) follow their own separate timetables. These changes are normally implemented in one or more phases at the regular annual full country index review and quarterly index review dates.

Annual Full Country Index Review

The objective of the annual full country review, which is carried out every May, is to systematically reassess the various dimensions of the equity universe for all countries on a fixed annual timetable. This includes a re-appraisal of the free float-adjusted industry group representation within a country, a detailed review of the shareholder information used to estimate free float for constituent and non-constituent securities, updating of minimum size guidelines for new and existing constituents, as well as changes typically considered for a quarterly index review as discussed below.

Quarterly Index Review

The quarterly index review process is designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of the evolving equity marketplace. This is achieved by rapidly reflecting significant market driven changes that were not captured in the index at the time of their actual occurrence and that should not wait until the annual full country index review due to their importance.

During a quarterly index review, securities may be added to or deleted from a country index for a variety of reasons including the following:

Additions or deletions of securities, due to one or more industry groups having become significant over- or under-represented as a result of mergers, acquisitions, restructuring and other major market events affecting that industry group.
Additions or deletions resulting from changes in industry classification, significant increases or decreases in free float, and relaxation/removal or decreases of foreign ownership limitations not implemented immediately.
Replacement of companies, which are no longer suitable industry representatives.
Deletion of securities whose company and/or security free float has fallen to less than 15%.
Deletion of securities that have become very small or illiquid.
Replacement of securities (additions or deletions) resulting from the review of price source for constituents with both domestic and foreign board quotations.

 
 IS-44

MSCI Standard Index Series


Additions or deletions of securities as a result of other market events.

Ongoing Event-Related Changes

Ongoing event-related changes to the indices are the result of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, reorganizations and other similar corporate events. Ongoing event-related charges can also result from capital reorganizations in the form of rights issues, bonus issues, public placements and other similar corporate actions that take place on a continuing basis. These changes are reflected in the indices at the time of the event.

Announcement Policy

The results of the annual full country index review are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of May.

The results of the quarterly index reviews are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation dates as of the close of the last business day of February, August and November.

All changes resulting from the corporate events are announced prior to their implementations.

The changes are typically announced at least ten business days prior to these changes becoming effective in the indices as an “expected” announcement, or as an “undetermined” announcement, when the effective dates are not known yet or when aspects of the event are uncertain. MSCI sends “confirmed” announcements at least two business days prior to events becoming effective in the indices, provided that all necessary public information concerning the event is available. The full list of all new and pending changes is delivered to clients on a daily basis, at 5:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time.

In exceptional cases, events are announced during market hours for same or next day implementation. Announcements made by MSCI during market hours are usually linked to late company disclosure of corporate events or unexpected changes to previously announced corporate events.

In the case of large secondary offerings for existing constituents, where possible, these changes will be announced prior to the end of a relevant subscription period and a subsequent announcement confirming the details of the event (including the date of implementation) will be made as soon as the results are available.

Nikkei® 225 Index

We have derived all information regarding the Nikkei® 225 Index (the “Nikkei Index”) contained in this index supplement, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. or any of its affiliates (the “Nikkei Index Sponsor”). The Nikkei Index Sponsor owns the copyright and all other rights to the Nikkei Index. The Nikkei Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the Nikkei Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information. Historical performance of the Nikkei Index is not an indication of future performance. Future performance of the Nikkei Index may differ significantly from historical performance, either positively or negatively.

The Nikkei Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated by the Nikkei Index Sponsor that measures the composite price performance of selected Japanese stocks. The Nikkei Index is currently based on 225 underlying stocks trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the “TSE”), and represents a broad cross-section of Japanese industry. All stocks included in the Nikkei Index trade on the TSE in Japanese yen. All 225 Nikkei Index stocks are listed in the First Section of the TSE. Domestic stocks admitted to the TSE are assigned either to the First Section, Second Section or Mothers Section. Stocks listed in the First Section are among the most actively traded stocks on the TSE. At the end of each business year, the TSE examines each First Section stock to determine whether it continues to meet the criteria for inclusion in the First Section and each Second Section stock to determine whether it may qualify for inclusion in the First Section. Futures and options contracts on the Nikkei Index are traded on the Singapore Exchange Ltd., the Osaka Securities Exchange Co., Ltd. and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.

The Nikkei Index is a modified, price-weighted index. Each stock’s weight in the Nikkei Index is based on its price per share rather than the total market capitalization of the issuer. The Nikkei Index Sponsor calculates the Nikkei Index by multiplying the per-share price of each stock in the Nikkei Index by the corresponding weighting factor for such stock, calculating the sum of all these products and dividing that sum by a divisor. The weighting factor for each stock in the Nikkei Index is computed by dividing 50 Japanese yen by the par value of that stock, so that the share price of each such stock when multiplied by its weighting factor corresponds to a share price based on a uniform par value of 50 Japanese yen. Each weighting factor represents the number of shares of the related Nikkei Index stock that are included in one trading unit of the Nikkei Index. The stock prices used in the calculation of the Nikkei Index are those reported by a primary market for the stocks in the Nikkei Index, which is currently the TSE. The level of the Nikkei Index is calculated once per minute during TSE trading hours.

In order to maintain continuity in the level of the Nikkei Index in the event of certain changes affecting the stocks included in the Nikkei Index, such as the addition or deletion of stocks, substitution of stocks, stock dividends, stock splits or distributions of assets to stockholders, the divisor used in calculating the Nikkei Index is adjusted in a manner designed to prevent any change or discontinuity in the level of the Nikkei Index. The divisor remains at the new value until a further adjustment is necessary as the result of another change. As a result of each change affecting any stock in the Nikkei Index, the divisor is adjusted in such a way that the sum of all share prices immediately after the change multiplied by the applicable weighting factor and divided by the new divisor, the level of the Nikkei Index immediately after the change, will equal the level of the Nikkei Index immediately prior to the change.

Stocks included in the Nikkei Index may be deleted or added by the Nikkei Index Sponsor. However, to maintain continuity in the Nikkei Index, the policy of the Nikkei Index Sponsor is generally not to alter the composition of the Nikkei Index stocks except when a stock is deleted in accordance with the following criteria.


  IS-47 

Nikkei® 225 Index


Any stock in the Nikkei Index becoming ineligible for listing in the First Section of the TSE due to any of the following reasons will be deleted from the Nikkei Index: bankruptcy of the issuer; merger of the issuer into, or acquisition of the issuer by, another company; delisting of the stock because of excess debt of the issuer or because of any other reason; transfer of the stock to the “Kanri Post” (Post for stocks under supervision); transfer of the stock to the “Seiri Post” (the Liquidation Post); or transfer of the stock to the Second Section of the TSE. In addition, any stock in the Nikkei Index with relatively low liquidity, based on trading volume and price fluctuation over the past five years, may be deleted by the Nikkei Index Sponsor. Upon deletion of a stock from the Nikkei Index, the Nikkei Index Sponsor will select, in accordance with certain criteria established by it, a replacement for the deleted stock. Until such replacement, the Nikkei Index will be calculated with the remaining stocks included in the Nikkei Index less the deleted stocks.

A list of the issuers of the stocks included in the Nikkei Index is available from the NKS Economic Electronic Databank System and the Nikkei Index Sponsor directly. The Nikkei Index Sponsor may delete, add or substitute any stock underlying the Nikkei Index.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange

The TSE is one of the world’s largest securities exchanges in terms of market capitalization. Due to time zone differences, on any normal trading day, the TSE will close before the opening of business in New York City on the same calendar day. Therefore, the closing level of the Nikkei Index on any particular business day will generally be available in the United States by the opening of business on that business day.

The TSE has adopted certain measures, including daily price floors and ceilings on individual stocks, intended to prevent any extreme short-term price fluctuations resulting from order imbalances. In general, any stock listed on the TSE cannot be traded at a price lower than the applicable price floor or higher than the applicable price ceiling. These price floors and ceilings are expressed in absolute Japanese yen, rather than percentage limits based on the closing price of the stock on the previous trading day. In addition, when there is a major order imbalance in a listed stock, the TSE posts a “special bid quote” or a “special offer quote” for that stock at a specified higher or lower price level than the stock’s last sale price in order to solicit counter-orders and balance supply and demand for the stock. Prospective investors should also be aware that the TSE may suspend the trading of individual stocks in certain limited and extraordinary circumstances, including, for example, unusual trading activity in that stock. As a result, changes in the Nikkei Index may be limited by price limitations, special quotes or by suspension of trading on stocks in the Nikkei Index, and these limitations may, in turn, adversely affect the value of the Securities.

Swiss Market Index (SMI)®

We have derived all information regarding the Swiss Market Index (SMI)® (the “SMI Index”) contained in this index supplement from publicly available information without independent verification. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, SWX Swiss Exchange (the “SMI Index Sponsor”). The SMI Index Sponsor owns the copyright and all other rights to the SMI Index. The SMI Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the SMI Index. We do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

The SMI Index contains approximately 90% of the entire free float market capitalization of the Swiss equity market and is made up of a maximum of 30 of the largest and most liquid stocks from the SPI Large- and Mid-Cap segment (as described below). The SMI Index is primarily available as a non-dividend-corrected index (price index), but is also published under the designation SMIC® (SMI® cum dividend) as a performance index. Your Securities will be linked to the SMI Index, not the SMIC® index.

The basic universe for admission to the SMI Index is the Swiss Performance Index (“SPI”). In order to be admitted and remain in the SPI universe a given security must meet a minimum free float rate of 20%. If a stock falls below this limit and does not reach or exceed it again within three months, it is excluded. Stocks, which are not admitted to the SPI universe on free float grounds, are admitted if the minimum free float rate of 20% has been met continuously over a period of three months.

To be admitted to the SMI Index, the market value of the security must amount to a minimum of 0.45% of the overall SPI capitalization as of June 30 of a given year. The determination of the rankings of a maximum of 30 securities from the stock universe is calculated through a combination of market capitalization and the percentage sales at the market value of each individual security. For a security to be admitted to the SMI Index it must have occupied rank 30 or above over four quarters and must occupy rank 25 or above as of June 30.

The SMI was introduced on June 30, 1988 at a baseline value of 1500 points. Its composition is examined once a year. Calculation takes place in real-time: as soon as a new transaction occurs in a security contained in the SMI Index, an updated index level is calculated and displayed.

The SMI Index Return will be calculated based on the closing levels of the SMI Index, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. under ticker symbol “SMI.”

Structured Product Characterization

To help investors identify appropriate investment products (“structured products”), UBS organizes its structured products, including the ROS, into four categories: Protection Solutions, Optimization Solutions, Performance Solutions and Leverage Solutions. The description below is intended to describe generally the four categories of structured products and the types of protection that may be offered on those products. This description should not be relied upon as a description of any particular structured product.

Protection Solutions are structured to provide investors with a high degree of principal protection at maturity, periodic coupons or a return at maturity with the potential to outperform traditional fixed income instruments. These structured products are designed for investors with low to moderate risk tolerances.
Optimization Solutions are structured to optimize returns or yield within a specified range. These structured products are designed for investors with moderate to high risk tolerances. Optimization Solutions may be structured to provide no principal protection, partial protection, buffer protection or contingent protection.
Performance Solutions are structured to be strategic alternatives to index funds or exchange traded funds or to allow efficient access to new markets. These structured products are designed for investors with moderate to high risk tolerances. Performance Solutions may be structured to provide no principal protection, partial protection, buffer protection or contingent protection.
Leverage Solutions are structured to provide leveraged exposure to the performance of an underlying asset. These structured products are designed for investors with high risk tolerances.

“Buffer protection”, if applicable, provides principal protection against a decline in the price or level of the underlying asset down to a specified threshold; investors will lose more than 1% of principal for every 1% decline in the price or level of the underlying asset below the specified threshold.

“Partial protection”, if applicable, provides principal protection against a decline in the price or level of the underlying asset down to a specified threshold; investors will lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline in the price or level of the underlying asset below the specified threshold. “Contingent protection”, if applicable, provides principal protection at maturity as long as the price or level of the underlying asset does not trade below a specified threshold; if the price or level of the asset declines below the specified threshold at any time during the term of the notes, all principal protection is lost and the investor will have full downside exposure to the price or level of the underlying asset. In order to benefit from any type of principal protection, investors must hold the security to maturity.

Classification of structured products into categories is not intended to guarantee particular results or performance.
