  Investment Description

Yield Optimization Notes with Contingent Protection (the “Notes”) are notes issued by UBS AG (“UBS”) linked to the performance of the common stock of a specific underlying company (the “underlying stock”). The Notes pay an enhanced coupon and provide either a return of principal or shares of the underlying stock at maturity. The enhanced coupon is designed to compensate you for the risk that you may receive a share of the underlying stock at maturity for each Note held that is worth less than your principal. At maturity, you will receive one share of the underlying stock for each of your Notes if the closing price of the underlying stock falls below the specified trigger price on any trading day during the Observation Period. Otherwise, you will receive your principal in cash. We will make coupon payments during the term of the Notes regardless of the performance of the underlying stock. Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your principal.

  Features

q Enhanced coupon payments are made regardless of the per- formance of the underlying stock and are designed to compen- sate you for the risk that the Notes are not fully principal protected and that you could lose some or all of your principal.
 
q Contingent protection feature protects your principal only if the closing price of the underlying stock never falls below the specified trigger price during the Observation Period and you hold the Notes to maturity:
 
 
  • If the closing price of the underlying stock never falls below the trigger price, at maturity you will receive a cash payment equal to your principal amount. You will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stock at maturity.
     
     
  • If the closing price of the underlying stock falls below the trigger price on any trading day during the Observation Period, at maturity you will receive one share of the underly- ing stock for each of your Notes. If you receive shares of the underlying stock at maturity, they may be worth less (or more) than your principal or may be worthless.

    1      UBS AG is rated AA+ by Standard & Poor’s and Aa2 by Moody’s. A credit rating reflects the creditworthiness of UBS AG and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes. UBS’ credit rating may change or be withdrawn at any time by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated inde- pendently of any other rating.
     
    2      In the event that we make any change to the expected trade date and settlement date, the final valuation date and maturity date will be changed to ensure that the stated term of the Notes is one year.
     


      Investor Suitability

    The securities may be suitable for you if:

    • You have a moderate to high risk tolerance.
    • You are willing to receive shares of the applicable underlying stock at maturity that may be worth less than your principal.
    • You believe the market price of the applicable underly- ing stock is not likely to appreciate by more than the value of the coupons paid on the Notes.
    • You believe the closing price of the applicable underly- ing stock is not likely to fall below the trigger price at any time during the Observation Period.
    • You are willing to make an investment that will be exposed to the same downside price risk as an investment in the applicable underlying stock.
    • You are willing to accept the risk of fluctuations in the market price of the applicable underlying stock.
    • You are willing to invest in the applicable Note based on the anticipated coupon range (the actual coupon rate will be determined on the trade date).
    • You are willing to hold the Notes to maturity and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Notes.

    The securities may not be suitable for you if:

    • You seek an investment that is 100% principal protected.
    • You are not willing to receive shares of the applicable underlying stock at maturity.
    • You believe the market price of the applicable underlying stock is likely to appreciate by more than the value of the coupons paid on the Notes.
    • You believe the closing price of the applicable underlying stock is likely to fall below the trigger price during the Observation Period.
    • You are not willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the applicable underlying stock in particular.
    • You prefer lower risk and therefore accept the potentially lower returns of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings that bear interest at a prevailing market rate.
    • You are unable or unwilling to hold the Notes to maturity.
    • You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
      What are the tax consequences of the Notes?

    The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are complex and uncertain. By purchasing a Note, you and UBS hereby agree (in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary) to characterize a Note for all tax purposes as an investment unit consisting of a non-contingent debt instrument and a contingent forward contract relating to the underlying stock. Under this characterization of the Notes, interest paid in respect of each offering of the Notes is divided into two components for tax purposes: the debt component and the contract component.

    Debt component—The interest on the debt component is taxed as ordinary income in the year it was received or accrued depending on your method of accounting for tax purposes.

    Contract component—The contract component is generally not taxed until sale or maturity. At maturity, the contract component is taxed either as a short-term capital gain if principal is repaid in cash or as a reduction of the cost basis if shares are delivered.

      Coupon per Annum    
      (to be determined Debt Component Contract Component
    Offerings on trade date) per Annum per Annum
    Best Buy Notes 8.50% to 9.50% •% •%
    eBay Notes 10.00% to 11.00% •% •%
    Nucor Notes 11.75% to 12.75% •% •%
    Occidental Petroleum Notes 8.00% to 9.00% •% •%

    In the opinion of our counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Notes as described above, but it would also be reasonable to treat your Notes as a single contingent debt instrument subject to the special tax rules governing contingent debt instruments. Because of this uncertainty, we urge you to consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes. Please read the discussion in “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations” on page PS-29 of the YONCP product supplement for a more detailed description of the tax treatment of your Notes.

      Key Risks

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

    w Risk of Loss of Contingent Protection – Your principal will be protected only if the closing price of the applicable underlying stock never falls below the trigger price on any trading day during the Observation Period and the Notes are held to maturity. If the closing price of the applicable underlying stock falls below the trigger price on any trading day during the Observation Period, the contingent protection feature will be eliminated and you will be fully exposed at maturity to any decline in the market price of the applicable underlying stock. Greater expected volatility with respect to a Note’s underlying stock reflects a higher expectation as of the trade date that a stock could fall below its trigger price over the term of the Note. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher coupon payable on such Note. A stock’s volatility, however, can change significantly over the term of the Notes. The price of the underlying stock for your Note could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.

    w Single Stock Risk – The price of each underlying stock can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the underlying stock and issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions, and other events, and by general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions.

    w There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes – No offering of the Notes will be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications network. A secondary trading market for the Notes may not develop. UBS Securities LLC and other affiliates of UBS currently intend to make a market in each offering of the Notes, although they are not required to do so and may stop making a market at any time. If you sell your Notes prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a substantial loss.

    w Owning the Notes is not the same as owning the applicable underlying stock – The return on your Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the applicable underlying stock. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions on the applicable underlying stock over the term of your Notes. Furthermore, the applicable underlying stock may appreciate substantially during the Observation Period and you will not participate in such appreciation unless the closing price of the applicable underlying stock falls below the trigger price at least once during the Observation Period. Moreover, you will only participate in the appreciation in these circumstances if the market price of the underlying stock on the maturity date is greater than the initial price.

    w Credit of UBS – An investment in the Notes is subject to the credit risk of UBS, and the actual and perceived creditworthiness of UBS may affect the market value of the Notes.

    w Price prior to maturity – The market price of your Notes will be influenced by many unpredictable and interrelated factors, including the market price of the applicable underlying stock and the expected price volatility of the underlying stock, the dividend rate on the underlying stock, the time remaining to the maturity of your Notes, interest rates, geopolitical conditions, economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events and the creditworthiness of UBS.

    w Impact of fees on secondary market prices – Generally, the market price of the Notes in the secondary market is likely to be lower than the initial public offering price of the Notes, 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 Notes.

    w Potential UBS impact on market price of underlying stock– Trading or transactions by UBS or its affiliates in the applicable underlying stock and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the applicable underlying stock may adversely affect the market price of the applicable underlying stock and, therefore, the market value of your Notes.

    w Potential conflict of interest – UBS and its affiliates may engage in business with the issuer of the applicable underlying stock, which may present a conflict between the obligations of UBS and you, as a holder of the Notes. The calculation agent, an affiliate of UBS, will determine whether the closing price on any trading day has fallen below the applicable trig- ger price and accordingly the payment at maturity on your Notes. The calculation agent may postpone the maturity date if a market disruption event occurs and is continuing on the final valuation date.

    w Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by UBSUBS and its affiliates publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Notes, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. UBS and its affiliates have recently published research or other opinions that call into question the investment view implicit in the Notes. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by UBS or its affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Notes and the underlying stock to which the Notes are linked.

    w Antidilution adjustments – Although the calculation agent will adjust the amount payable at maturity by adjusting the number of shares of the underlying stock that may be delivered for certain corporate events affecting the underlying stock or the underlying issuer, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other actions involving the applicable underlying stock, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect the applicable underlying stock. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the number of shares of underlying stock that may be delivered at maturity, the market value of your Notes and the payment at maturity may be materially and adversely affected.

    w Uncertain tax treatment – Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should read carefully the section entitled “What are the tax consequences of the Notes?” above and the section entitled “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations” on page PS-29 of the YONCP product supplement and consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation.

      Hypothetical Examples

    Hypothetical Examples – Note Returns at Maturity

    The following examples illustrate the payment at maturity on a hypothetical offering of the Notes assuming the following*:

    Term:  1 year  
    Coupon per annum:  10% (or $1.25 per quarter)  
    Initial price of the underlying stock:  $50.00 per share  
    Trigger price:  $37.50 (75% of the initial price)  
    Principal amount:  $50.00 per Note (set equal to the initial price)  
    Dividend yield**:  1%  

    *      Actual coupon and terms for each Note to be set on the trade date.
    **      Full annual dividend yield assumed received by holders of the stock during the term of the Notes.
     

    Scenario #1: The closing price of the stock never falls below the trigger price of $37.50 during the Observation Period.

    Since the closing price of the underlying stock did not fall below the trigger price of $37.50 on any trading day during the Observation Period, principal is protected and you will receive at maturity a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the Notes. This investment would outperform an investment in the stock if the price appreciation of the stock (plus dividends, if any) is less than 10%.


      If the closing price of the underlying stock on the final valuation date is $50.00 (no change in the price of the stock):
               
        Payment at Maturity:   $50.00    
        Coupons:       5.00  ($1.25 x 4 = $5.00)  
             Total   $55.00    
        Total Return on the Notes:   10%    
       
      In this example, the total return on the Notes is 10% while the total return on the stock is 1% (including dividends).
               
      If the closing price of the underlying stock on the final valuation date is $65.00 (an increase of 30%):
               
        Payment at Maturity:   $50.00    
        Coupons:       5.00  ($1.25 x 4 = $5.00)  
             Total   $55.00    
        Total Return on the Notes:   10%    
               
      In this example, the total return on the Notes is 10% while the total return on the stock is 31% (including dividends).
     

    Scenario #2: The closing price of the stock falls below the trigger price of $37.50 during the Observation Period.

    Since the closing price of the underlying stock fell below the trigger price of $37.50 on one or more trading days during the Observation Period, you will receive at maturity one share of the underlying stock for every Note you hold. The value received at maturity and the total return on the Notes at that time depends on the closing price of the underlying stock on the maturity date.

      If the closing price of the underlying stock on the final valuation date is $35.00 (a decline of 30%):
               
        Payment at Maturity:   $35.00    
        Coupons:       5.00  ($1.25 x 4 = $5.00)  
             Total   $40.00    
        Total Return on the Notes:   -20%    
       
      In this example, the total return on the Notes is a loss of 20% while the total return on the stock is a loss of 29% (including dividends).
               
      If the closing price on the final valuation date is $42.00 (a decline of 16%):
               
        Payment at Maturity:   $42.00    
        Coupons:       5.00  ($1.25 x 4 = $5.00)  
             Total   $47.00    
        Total Return on the Notes:   -6%    
               
     

    In this example, the total return on the Notes is a loss of 6% while the total return on the stock is a loss of 15% (including dividends).

       
      If the closing price on the final valuation date is $55.00 (an increase of 10%):  
               
        Value of share received:  $55.00    
        Coupons:      5.00  ($1.25 x 4 = $5.00)  
             Total $47.00    
        Total return on the Notes: 20%    
       
      In this example, the total return on the Notes is 20% while the total return on the stock is 11% (including dividends).

    Swiss franc (CHF) amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars (USD) at the rate of CHF 1 = USD 0.82004 (the exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2006).

      Supplemental Plan of Distribution

    We expect to deliver each offering of the Notes against payment on or about the fourth business day following the trade date. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the trade date will be required, by virtue of the fact that each Note initially will settle in four business days (T+4), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
