Investment Description

Performance Securities with Contingent Protection (the “Securities”) are securities issued by UBS AG (“UBS”) linked to the performance of an index. The amount you receive at maturity is based on the return of the applicable index and, in certain circumstances, on whether the level of the applicable index has closed below a specified Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period. If the applicable Index Return is positive or zero, at maturity, you will receive an amount in cash per security that is equal to your principal amount plus an amount based on the Index Return multiplied by a Participation Rate. If the applicable Index Return is negative and the index has not closed below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, you will receive your principal. If the applicable Index Return is negative and the index closed below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, your Securities will be fully exposed to the decline in the applicable index, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Investors will not receive interest or dividend payments during the term of the Securities. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal.


Features

 Enhanced Growth Potential – The Securities provide the opportunity to receive enhanced equity returns by multiplying the positive Index Return by the applicable Participation Rate. The Securities are not subject to a maximum gain.


Contingent Protection Against Loss – Payment at maturity of the principal amount of your Securities is protected, so long as the applicable index does not close below the applicable Trigger Level on any single trading day during the Observation Period. If the applicable index closes below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, your Securities will be fully exposed to any decline in the applicable index on the final valuation date, and you could lose some or all of your investment.

Common Terms for Each Offering of Securities


Issuer    UBS AG, Jersey Branch


Principal Amount
per Security
  $10.00


Term    5 Years


Payment at Maturity
(per $10 security)
  You will receive a cash payment at maturity based on the performance of the applicable index during the term of the Securities.

    If the Index Return is positive, you will receive your principal plus a return equal to the applicable Participation Rate times the applicable Index Return:

    $10 + ($10 x Participation Rate x Index Return)

    If the Index Return is zero, you will receive your principal of:

    $10

    If the Index Return is negative and the applicable index level never closed below the Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, you will receive:

    $10

    If the Index Return is negative and the applicable index level closed below the Trigger Level on any single trading day during the Observation Period, you will receive your principal reduced by that negative Index Return:

    $10 + ($10 x Index Return)

    In this case the contingent protection is lost and you may lose some or all of your principal.


Index Return   Index Ending Level – Index Starting Level
                Index Starting Level


Index Starting Level   The closing of the applicable index on the trade date.


Index Ending Level   The closing level of the applicable index on the final valuation date.


Participation Rate   The Participation Rate determines how much of the Index Return will be used to compute your payment at maturity if the Index Return is positive. The Participation Rate for each offering of Securities is set on the first page of this pricing supplement.


Trigger Level   50% of the applicable Index Starting Level.


Observation Period   The period starting on the trade date and ending on, and including, the final valuation date.


The performance of each offering of the Securities will depend on the performance of the index to which such offering is linked and will not depend on the performance of any other index or offering of Securities.


Determining Payment at Maturity for Each Offering

Trade Date

Final Valuation Date
You will receive at maturity:
$10 + (10 x Participation Rate x
Index Return)

You will receive your principal less an
amount reflecting the decline of the
index:
$10 + (10 x Index Return)

Principal is protected and you will receive $10 per Security.

Your Securities are not fully principal protected. If the applicable index closes below the Trigger Level on any day during the Observation Period, your principal is fully exposed to any decline in the applicable index.

Hypothetical Examples and Return Table of the Securities at maturity

The examples and table below illustrate the payment at maturity for a $10.00 note on a hypothetical offering of the Securities, with the following assumptions:

Investment Term:   5 years

Index Starting Level:   1500.00

Trigger Level:   750.00

Participation Rate:   109.75%

Range of Index Performance:   100% to -100%

Observation Period:   The period starting on the trade date and ending, on and including, the final valuation date

Example 1: The Index Return is 20% at maturity.

Since the Index Return is positive, the payment at maturity per Security will be calculated as follows:

  $10 + ($10 x 20% x 109.75%) = $12.20 per Security.

Example 2: The Index Return is -20% and the index never closed below the Trigger Level on any day during the Observation Period.

  Since the Index Return is negative but the index never closed below the Trigger Level of 750, your principal is protected and you will receive $10 per Security at maturity.

Example 3: The Index Return is -20% and the index closed below the Trigger Level on any day during the Observation Period.

  Since the Index Return at maturity is negative and the index closed below the Trigger Level, principal protection is lost and the investor is fully exposed to the decline of the index. In this example, the final payment is calculated as follows:

  $10 + ($10 x -20%) = $10 – $2 = $8 per Security.

If the index closes below the Trigger Level on any day during the Observation Period, investors are fully exposed to any decline of the index and could lose some or all of their principal at maturity.

Key Risks

An investment in any offering of the Securities involves significant risks. Some of the risks that apply to each offering of Securities are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of product supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities.

Principal protection ONLY in limited circumstances – Your principal will be protected only if the level of the applicable index never closes below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period and the Securities are held to maturity.
Market risks – If the level of the applicable index closes below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, the contingent protection will be eliminated and, at maturity, you will be fully exposed to any decline in the level of the applicable index over the term of the Securities. Accordingly, if the level of the applicable index closes below the applicable Trigger Level on any trading day during the Observation Period and the level of the applicable index on the final valuation date is below the Index Starting Level, your payment at maturity will be less than the principal amount of your Securities. If you sell your Securities before maturity, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the issue price and, as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities – The Securities will not be listed or displayed on any Securities exchange or any electronic communications network. There can be no assurance that a secondary market for the Securities will develop. UBS Securities LLC and other affiliates of UBS currently intend to make a market in the Securities, although they are not required to do so and may stop making a market at any time. If you sell your Securities prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a substantial loss.
Owning the Securities is not the same as owning the applicable index – The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the applicable index. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions over the life of the Securities.
Credit of Issuer – An investment in the Securities is subject to the credit risk of UBS, and the actual and perceived creditworthiness of UBS may affect the market value of the Securities.
Price prior to maturity – The market price of the Securities will be influenced by many unpredictable and interrelated factors, including the level of the applicable index; the volatility of such index; the dividend rate paid on the applicable index; the time remaining to the maturity of the Securities; interest rates in the markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events; and the creditworthiness of UBS.
Impact of fees on secondary market prices – Generally, the price of the Securities in the secondary market is likely to be lower than the initial offering price since the issue price included, and the secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions, hedging costs or other compensation paid with respect to the Securities.
Potential UBS impact on price – Trading or transactions by UBS or its affiliates in the applicable index and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with return linked to the performance of the applicable index, may adversely affect the market price of the applicable index and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.
Potential conflict of interest – UBS and its affiliates may engage in business with the issuers of the stocks comprising the applicable index, which may present a conflict between the obligations of UBS and you, as a holder of the Securities. The calculation agent, an affiliate of the Issuer, will determine the applicable stock and payment at maturity based on observed levels of such index in the market. The calculation agent can postpone the determination of the stock index or the maturity date if a market disruption event occurs and is continuing on the final valuation date.
Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by UBS – UBS and its affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding any offering of the Securities. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the value of the applicable index or the stocks included in such index, and therefore the market value of the Securities.
Uncertain tax treatment – Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation.

Risks specific to an investment in the offerings of Securities linked to the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or the Nikkei® 225 Index.

Currency Risk – While the stocks included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Nikkei® 225 Index are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Index Returns for each of the Securities will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates. Therefore, if the currencies in which the stocks included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index or the Nikkei® 225 Index are denominated appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Securities linked to such index, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in payment at maturity.
Non-U.S. Securities Markets Risks – The stocks included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index and the Nikkei® 225 Index are issued by foreign companies in foreign securities markets. These stocks may be more volatile and may be subject to different political, market, economic, exchange rate, regulatory and other risks. This may have a negative impact on the performance of the securities linked to these indices, which may have an adverse effect on the applicable offering of Securities.

The Standard and Poor’s 500® Index (the “S&P Index”) is published by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. As discussed more fully in the Index supplement under the heading “Underlying Indices and Underlying Index Publishers – S&P 500® 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 is based on the relative value of the aggregate market value of the common stock of 500 companies 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. Ten main groups of companies comprise the S&P Index, with the number of companies included in each group as of July 26, 2007 indicated below: Consumer Discretionary (88); Consumer Staples (39); Energy (32); Financials (92); Health Care (53); Industrials (53); Information Technology (74); Materials (28); Telecommunications Services (9); and Utilities (32).    

The graph below illustrates the performance of the S&P Index from January 31, 1997 to July 26, 2007, as well as the Trigger Level, assuming an Index Starting Level of 1482.66, which was the S&P Index closing level on July 26, 2007.

What are the tax consequences of the Securities?

The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Securities are uncertain. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion in “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations” on page PS-26 of the product supplement. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities, UBS and you agree, in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the Securities as a pre-paid cash-settled forward contract with respect to the Index. If the Securities are so treated, you would generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Securities. Such gain or loss would generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you held your Securities for more than one year.

In the opinion of our counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Securities, it is possible that your Securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes in the manner described under “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations—Alternative Treatments” on page PS-27 on the product supplement.
