UBS AG

$2,909,000

Capped Leveraged Buffered Basket-Linked Medium-Term Notes due August 23, 2024

 

The notes do not bear interest. The amount that you will be paid on your notes on the stated maturity date (August 23, 2024) is based on the performance of an unequally-weighted basket of five indices: the EURO STOXX 50® Index (36.00% weighting), TOPIX® Index (26.00% weighting), FTSE® 100 Index (17.00% weighting), Swiss Market Index (12.00% weighting) and S&P/ASX 200 Index (9.00% weighting) (each a “basket underlier” and together, the “basket underliers”) as measured from the trade date (May 19, 2022) to and including the determination date (August 21, 2024). The initial basket level was set to 100 on the trade date and the final basket level (the basket closing level on the determination date) will equal the sum of the products, as calculated for each basket underlier, of: (i) the final underlier level of such basket underlier times (ii) the weighting multiplier for such basket underlier. The weighting multiplier equals, for each basket underlier, a positive amount equal to the quotient of (i) the product of the initial basket level times the weighting percentage for such basket underlier divided by (ii) the initial underlier level for such basket underlier. If the final basket level on the determination date is greater than the initial basket level, the return on your notes will be positive, subject to the maximum settlement amount of $1,557.60 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes. If the final basket level declines by up to 17.50% from the initial basket level, you will receive the face amount of your notes. If the final basket level declines by more than 17.50% from the initial basket level, the return on your notes will be negative. Specifically, you will lose approximately 1.2121% of the face amount of your notes for every 1% negative basket return below the buffer level of 82.50, which is 82.50% of the initial basket level. You could lose your entire investment in the notes.

To determine your cash settlement amount, we will calculate the basket return, which is the percentage increase or decrease in the final basket level from the initial basket level. On the stated maturity date, for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, you will receive an amount in cash equal to:

·if the basket return is positive (the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) the upside participation rate of 170.00% times (c) the basket return, subject to the maximum settlement amount;
·if the basket return is zero or negative but not below -17.50% (the final basket level is equal to or less than the initial basket level but not by more than 17.50%), $1,000; or
·if the basket return is negative and is below -17.50% (the final basket level is less than the initial basket level by more than 17.50%), the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) approximately 121.21% times (b) the sum of the basket return plus 17.50% times (c) $1,000.

Your investment in the notes involves certain risks, including, among other things, our credit risk. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes” beginning on page 13 herein. You should read the additional disclosure herein so that you may better understand the terms and risks of your investment.

The estimated initial value of the notes as of the trade date is $995.00 per $1,000 face amount. The estimated initial value of the notes was determined as of the close of the relevant markets on the date hereof by reference to UBS’ internal pricing models, inclusive of the internal funding rate. For more information about secondary market offers and the estimated initial value of the notes, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes — Estimated Value Considerations” and “— Risks Relating to Liquidity and Secondary Market Price Considerations” beginning on page 16 herein.

Original issue date:   May 26, 2022   Original issue price:   100.00% of the face amount
Underwriting discount*:   0.00% of the face amount   Net proceeds to the issuer*:   100.00% of the face amount

KEY TERMS

Issuer: UBS AG London Branch

Underlier: An unequally-weighted basket of five indices. For more information about the indices see “The Basket and the Basket Underliers” herein.

About the Basket: The following table lists the basket underliers and their corresponding Bloomberg tickers, percentage weights in the basket, weighting multipliers and initial underlier levels. The weighting multipliers below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Bloomberg Ticker Basket Underlier Percentage Weight in the Basket Weighting Multiplier Initial Underlier Level
SX5E EURO STOXX 50® Index 36.00% 0.00988862 3,640.55
TPX TOPIX® Index 26.00% 0.01397789 1,860.08
UKX FTSE® 100 Index 17.00% 0.00232789 7,302.74
SMI Swiss Market Index 12.00% 0.00106106 11,309.49
AS51 S&P/ASX 200 Index 9.00% 0.00127398 7,064.460

Specified currency: U.S. dollars (“$”)

Terms to be specified in accordance with the accompanying product supplement:

·type of notes: notes linked to an unequally-weighted basket of five indices
·averaging dates: not applicable
·cap level: yes, as described below
·buffer level: yes, as described below
·interest: not applicable

Face amount: Each note will have a face amount of $1,000; $2,909,000 in the aggregate for all the offered notes; the aggregate face amount of the offered notes may be increased if the issuer, at its sole option, decides to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price, underwriting discount, and net proceeds of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the original issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in the notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.

Purchase at amount other than face amount: The amount we will pay you at the stated maturity date for your notes will not be adjusted based on the issue price you pay for your notes, so if you acquire notes at a premium (or discount) to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date, it could affect your investment in a number of ways. The return on your investment in such notes will be lower (or higher) than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount. Also, the stated buffer level would not offer the same measure of protection to your investment as would be the case if you had purchased the notes at face amount. Additionally, the cap level would be triggered at a lower (or higher) percentage return than indicated below, relative to your initial investment. See “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes — Risks Relating to Return Characteristics — If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected” herein.

Supplemental discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences: You will be obligated pursuant to the terms of the notes — in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary — to characterize each note for all tax purposes as a prepaid derivative contract in respect of the underlier, as described under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. Pursuant to this approach, based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, is of the opinion that upon the taxable disposition of your notes, it would be reasonable for you to recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash you receive at such time and your tax basis in your notes. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) might not agree with this treatment, however, in which case, the timing and character of income or loss on your note could be materially and adversely affected.

2 
 

Additionally, we will not attempt to ascertain whether any issuers of the underlier stocks would be treated as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If any such entity were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to U.S. holders upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of the notes. You should refer to information filed with the SEC or an equivalent governmental authority by such entities and consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you if any such entity is or becomes a PFIC.

A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities or indices containing U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2018. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2023.

Based on our determination that the notes are not “delta-one” with respect to any basket underliers or U.S. underlier stocks, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the notes should not be delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations on the date the terms of the notes are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.

Nevertheless, after the date the terms are set, it is possible that your notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the basket underliers, underlier stocks or your notes, and following such occurrence your notes could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the notes under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the basket underliers, underlier stocks or the notes. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the basket underliers, underlier stocks or the notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your notes in the context of your other transactions.

Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the notes, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the notes.

Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) generally apply to certain “withholdable payments” and will generally not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition and will generally apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are published. We will not pay additional amounts with respect to such withholding taxes discussed above. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Subject to the paragraph above, you should read the discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax advisor concerning the potential application of FATCA.

For more information about the tax consequences of an investment in the notes, you should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, including the section “— Securities Treated as Prepaid Derivatives or Prepaid Forwards”.

Cash settlement amount (on the stated maturity date): for each $1,000 face amount of your notes, we will pay you on the stated maturity date an amount in cash equal to:

·if the final basket level is greater than or equal to the cap level, the maximum settlement amount;
·if the final basket level is greater than the initial basket level but less than the cap level, the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the upside participation rate times (iii) the basket return;
·if the final basket level is equal to or less than the initial basket level but greater than or equal to the buffer level, $1,000; or
·if the final basket level is less than the buffer level, the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the buffer rate times (iii) the sum of the basket return plus the buffer amount.

Use of proceeds and hedging: as described under “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement

Supplemental plan of distribution (conflicts of interest); secondary markets (if any): UBS has agreed to sell to UBS Securities LLC, and UBS Securities LLC has agreed to purchase from UBS, the aggregate face amount of the notes specified on the front cover of this pricing supplement. UBS Securities LLC initially offered the notes to certain unaffiliated securities dealers at the original issue price set forth on the cover page of this document. We or one of our affiliates will pay a fee to SIMON Markets LLC, a broker-dealer affiliated with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection with the distribution of the notes.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on May 26, 2022, which is the fifth business day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days (T + 2), unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes are initially expected to settle in five business days (T + 5), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Conflicts of interest: UBS Securities LLC is an affiliate of UBS and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in the offering within the meaning of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. In addition, UBS will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, the offering is being conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121.

UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates may offer to buy or sell the notes in the secondary market (if any) at prices greater than UBS’ internal valuation: The value of the notes at any time will vary based on many factors that cannot be predicted. However, the price (not including UBS Securities LLC’s or any affiliate’s customary bid-ask spreads) at which UBS Securities LLC or any affiliate would offer to buy or sell the notes immediately after the trade date in the secondary market is expected to exceed the estimated initial value of the notes as determined by reference to our internal pricing models. The amount of the excess will decline to zero on a straight line basis over a period ending no later than 3 months after the trade date, provided that UBS Securities LLC may shorten the period based on various factors, including the magnitude of purchases and other requests from and negotiated arrangements with selling agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates are not required to make a market for the notes and may stop making a market at any time. For more information about secondary market offers and the estimated initial value of the notes, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes — Estimated Value Considerations” and “— Risks Relating to Liquidity and Secondary Market Price Considerations” herein.

Prohibition of Sales to EEA & UK Retail Investors: The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the “UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor in the UK means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, subject to amendments made by the Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1403), as may be amended or superseded from time to time (the “EUWA”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (“UK Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES

The following table and chart are provided for purposes of illustration only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are intended merely to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical final basket levels on the determination date could have on the cash settlement amount at maturity assuming all other variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of final basket levels that are entirely hypothetical; no one can predict what the basket level will be on any day throughout the term of your notes, and no one can predict what the final basket level will be on the determination date. The levels of the basket underliers have been volatile in the past — meaning that the levels of the basket underliers have changed considerably in relatively short periods — and their performance (and therefore the performance of the basket) cannot be predicted for any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date. If you sell your notes in a secondary market prior to the stated maturity date, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the table below such as interest rates, the volatility of the basket underliers and the underlier stocks and our creditworthiness. In addition, the estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes were set on the trade date (as determined by reference to our pricing models) is less than the original issue price of your notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes — Estimated Value Considerations — The Issue Price You Pay for the Notes Exceeds Their Estimated Initial Value” herein. The information in the table also reflects the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

Key Terms and Assumptions  
Face amount $1,000.00
Initial basket level 100
Upside participation rate 170.00%
Cap level 132.800% of the initial basket level
Maximum settlement amount $1,557.60
Buffer level 82.50% of the initial basket level
Buffer rate Approximately 121.21%
Buffer amount 17.50%
Neither a market disruption event nor a non-trading day occurs on the originally scheduled determination date.
No change in or affecting any of the underlier stocks or the method by which any of the underlier sponsors calculate the respective basket underliers
Notes are purchased on original issue date at the face amount and held to the stated maturity date.

The actual performance of the basket underliers over the term of your notes, as well as the amount payable at maturity, if any, may bear little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the hypothetical historical basket closing levels and historical levels of the basket underliers shown under “The Basket and Basket Underliers — Hypothetical Historical Basket Level” and “— Historical Closing Levels of the Basket Underlier” herein.

Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes, tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the underlier stocks.

Any rate of return you may earn on an investment in the notes may be lower than that which you could earn on a comparable investment in the underlier stocks. Among other things, the return on the notes will not reflect any dividends that may be paid on the underlier stocks.

The levels in the left column of the table below represent hypothetical final basket levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial basket level. The amounts in the right column represent the hypothetical cash settlement amounts, based on the corresponding hypothetical final basket level (expressed as a percentage of the initial basket level), and are expressed as percentages of the face amount of a note (rounded to the nearest thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical cash settlement amount of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would pay for each $1,000.00 of the outstanding face amount of the offered notes on the stated maturity date would equal 100.000% of the face amount of a note, based on the corresponding hypothetical final basket level (expressed as a percentage of the initial basket level) and the assumptions noted above.

Hypothetical Final Basket Level

(as Percentage of Initial Basket Level)

Hypothetical Cash Settlement Amount

(as Percentage of Face Amount)

150.000% 155.760%
140.000% 155.760%
135.000% 155.760%
132.800% 155.760%
130.000% 151.000%
120.000% 134.000%
110.000% 117.000%
100.000% 100.000%
90.000% 100.000%
82.500% 100.000%
80.000% 96.970%
70.000% 84.848%
60.000% 72.727%
50.000% 60.606%
25.000% 30.303%
0.000% 0.000%

If, for example, the final basket level were determined to be 25.000% of the initial basket level, the cash settlement amount that we would pay on your notes at maturity would be approximately 30.303% of the face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your notes on the original issue date at the face amount and held them to the stated maturity date, you would lose approximately 69.697% of your investment (if you purchased your notes at a premium to face amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). In addition, if the final basket level were determined to be 150.000% of the initial basket level, the cash settlement amount that we would pay on your notes at maturity would be capped at the maximum settlement amount (expressed as a percentage of the face amount), or 155.760% of each $1,000.00 face amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to the stated maturity date, you would not benefit from any increase in the final basket level over 132.800% of the initial basket level.

The following chart also shows a graphical illustration of the hypothetical cash settlement amounts (expressed as a percentage of the face amount of your notes) that we would pay on your notes on the stated maturity date, if the final basket level (expressed as a percentage of the initial basket level) were any of the hypothetical levels shown on the horizontal axis. The chart shows that any hypothetical final basket level (expressed as a percentage of the initial basket level) of less than 82.500% (the section left of the 82.500% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a hypothetical cash settlement amount of less than 100.000% of the face amount of your notes (the section below the 100.000% marker on the vertical axis) and, accordingly, in a loss of principal to the holder of the notes. The chart also shows that any hypothetical final basket level (expressed as a percentage of the initial basket level) of greater than or equal to 132.800% (the section right of the 132.800% marker on the horizontal axis) would result in a capped return on your investment.

The cash settlement amounts shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on levels of the basket that may not be achieved on the determination date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual market value of your notes on the stated maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical cash settlement amounts shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in the offered notes. The hypothetical cash settlement amounts on notes held to the stated maturity date in the examples above assume you purchased your notes at their face amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual issue price you pay for your notes. The return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price other than the face amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above examples. Please read “Additional Risk Factors Specific To Your Notes — Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Basket Underliers — Market Risk” and “— Risks Relating to Return Characteristics — If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected” herein.

The following examples illustrate the hypothetical cash settlement amount on each $1,000 face amount note based on hypothetical initial underlier levels of the basket underliers and hypothetical final underlier levels of the basket underliers calculated based on the key terms and assumptions above. The levels in Column A represent the hypothetical initial underlier levels for each basket underlier, and the levels in Column B represent hypothetical final underlier levels for each basket underlier. The percentages in Column C represent the appreciation or depreciation of the hypothetical final underlier levels as compared to the respective hypothetical initial underlier levels. The amounts in Column D represent the hypothetical weighting multiplier for each basket underlier, and the amounts in Column E represent the products of Column B times the corresponding amounts in Column D. The final basket level for each example is shown beneath each example, and will equal the sum of the five products shown in Column E. The basket return for each example is shown beneath the final basket level for such example, and will equal the quotient of (i) the final basket level for such example minus the initial basket level divided by (ii) the initial basket level, expressed as a percentage. The actual terms of your notes are specified under “Key Terms” of this pricing supplement. The values below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The hypothetical initial underlier level for each basket underlier of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual initial underlier level for that basket underlier. Because each hypothetical initial underlier level has been set to 100.00, these examples do not accurately reflect the differences in the levels of the basket underliers. For historical data regarding the actual historical levels of the basket underliers, please see the historical information set forth herein under “The Basket and the Basket Underliers”.

Example 1: The final basket level is greater than the initial basket level and less than the cap level. The cash settlement amount exceeds the $1,000 face amount.

In this example, all of the hypothetical final underlier levels for the basket underliers are greater than the applicable hypothetical initial underlier levels, which results in the hypothetical final basket level being greater than the initial basket level of 100.00. Because the hypothetical final basket level of 105.00 exceeds the initial basket level and is less than the cap level, the hypothetical cash settlement amount will equal:

Cash settlement amount = $1,000 + ($1,000 × 170.00% × 5.00%) = $1,085.00

Example 2: The final basket level is greater than the initial basket level and greater than or equal to the cap level. The cash settlement amount equals the maximum settlement amount.

In this example, all of the hypothetical final underlier levels for the basket underliers are greater than the applicable hypothetical initial underlier levels, which results in the hypothetical final basket level being greater than the initial basket level of 100.00. Because the hypothetical final basket level of 170.00 exceeds the initial basket level and is greater than the cap level, the hypothetical cash settlement amount will be capped at the maximum settlement amount of $1,557.60 for each $1,000 face amount of your notes.

        Final Basket Level: 95.00
        Basket Return: -5.00%
             

In this example, all of the hypothetical final underlier levels for the basket underliers are less than the applicable hypothetical initial underlier levels, which results in the hypothetical final basket level being less than the initial basket level of 100.00. Because the hypothetical final basket level of 95.00 is greater than the buffer level of 82.50% of the initial basket level but less than the initial basket level of 100, the hypothetical cash settlement amount for each $1,000 face amount of your notes will equal the face amount of the note, or $1,000.

Example 4: The final basket level is less than the initial basket level and less than the buffer level. The cash settlement amount is less than the $1,000 face amount.

        Final Basket Level: 72.95
        Basket Return: -27.05%
             

In this example, the hypothetical final underlier levels of the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the TOPIX® Index are less than their hypothetical initial underlier levels, while the hypothetical final underlier level of the FTSE® 100 Index is equal to its hypothetical initial underlier level and the hypothetical final underlier levels of the Swiss Market Index and the S&P/ASX 200 Index are greater than their applicable hypothetical initial underlier levels.

Because the basket is unequally weighted, increases in the lower weighted basket underliers will be offset by decreases in the more heavily weighted basket underliers. In this example, the declines in the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the TOPIX® Index results in the hypothetical final basket level being less than the initial basket level, even though the FTSE® 100 Index remained flat and the Swiss Market Index and the S&P/ASX 200 Index increased.

Because the hypothetical final basket level of 72.95 is less than the initial basket level and less than the buffer level, the hypothetical cash settlement amount will equal:

Cash settlement amount = $1,000 + [$1,000 × Approximately 121.21% × (-27.05% + 17.50%)] = $884.24

        Final Basket Level: 55.25
        Basket Return: -44.75%
             

In this example, the hypothetical final underlier levels for all of the basket underliers are less than the applicable hypothetical initial underlier levels, which results in the hypothetical final basket level being less than the initial basket level of 100.00. Because the hypothetical final basket level of 55.25 is less than the initial basket level and less than the buffer level, the hypothetical cash settlement amount for each $1,000 face amount of your notes will equal:

Cash settlement amount = $1,000 + [$1,000 × Approximately 121.21% × (-44.75% + 17.50%)] = $669.70

We cannot predict the actual final basket level, the level of any particular basket underlier or what the market value of your notes will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the basket level and the market value of your notes at any time prior to the stated maturity date. The actual amount that you will receive, if any, at maturity and the rate of return on the offered notes will depend on the actual final basket level, which will be determined by the calculation agent as described above and the price you pay for your notes. Moreover, the assumptions on which the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date may be very different from the information reflected in the table and chart above.

ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS SPECIFIC TO YOUR NOTES

An investment in your notes is subject to the risks described below, as well as the risks described under “Considerations Relating to Indexed Securities” in the accompanying prospectus, dated March 4, 2022, and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement, dated February 25, 2021. You should carefully review these risks as well as the terms of the notes described herein and in the accompanying prospectus, dated March 4, 2022, as supplemented by the accompanying index supplement, dated February 24, 2021 and the accompanying product supplement, dated February 25, 2021, of UBS. Your notes are a riskier investment than ordinary debt securities. Also, your notes are not equivalent to investing directly in the underlier stocks, i.e., the stocks comprising the basket underliers to which your notes are linked. You should carefully consider whether the offered notes are suited to your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating to Return Characteristics

You May Lose Your Entire Investment In The Notes

You can lose your entire investment in the notes. The cash payment on your notes, if any, on the stated maturity date will be based on the performance of the basket as measured from the initial basket level set on the trade date to the final basket level on the determination date. If the final basket level is less than the buffer level, you will have a loss for each $1,000 of the face amount of your notes equal to the product of (a) the buffer rate times (b) the sum of the basket return plus the buffer amount times (c) $1,000. Thus, you may lose your entire investment in the notes, which would include any premium to face amount you paid when you purchased the notes. Specifically, you will lose approximately 1.2121% of the face amount of each of your notes for every 1% negative basket return below the buffer level.

Also, the market price of your notes prior to the stated maturity date may be significantly lower than the purchase price you pay for your notes. Consequently, if you sell your notes before the stated maturity date, you may receive far less than the amount of your investment in the notes.

The Upside Participation Rate Applies Only At Maturity

You should be willing to hold your notes to maturity. If you are able to sell your notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, the price you receive will likely not reflect the full economic value of the upside participation rate of the notes and the return you realize may be less than the then-current basket return multiplied by the upside participation rate, even if such return is positive and is less than the return implied by the maximum settlement amount. You can receive the full benefit of any positive basket return multiplied by the upside participation rate subject to the maximum settlement amount only if you hold your notes to maturity.

The Potential for the Value of Your Notes to Increase Will Be Limited

Your ability to participate in any change in the value of the basket over the term of your notes and the positive effects of the upside participation rate on any positive basket return will be limited because of the cap level. The maximum settlement amount will limit the cash settlement amount you may receive for each of your notes at maturity, no matter how much the level of the basket may rise beyond the cap level over the term of your notes. Accordingly, the amount payable for each of your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had you invested directly in the basket underliers.

Your Notes Do Not Bear Interest

You will not receive any interest payments on your notes. As a result, even if the cash settlement amount payable for your notes on the stated maturity date exceeds the face amount of your notes, the overall return you earn on your notes may be less than you would have earned by investing in a conventional debt security of comparable maturity that bears interest at a prevailing market rate.

The Amount Payable on Your Notes Is Not Linked to the Level of Any Basket Underlier at Any Time Other than the Determination Date

The final basket level will be based on the basket closing level on the determination date (and therefore will be based on the closing levels of the basket underliers on the determination date), except in the limited circumstances described under “General Terms of the Notes — Market Disruption Event — Consequences of a Market Disruption Event or a Non-Trading Day” and “— Discontinuance of, Adjustments to or Benchmark Event Affecting an Index Underlier or an Index Basket Underlier; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the accompanying product supplement. Therefore, if the closing level of one or more of the basket underliers dropped precipitously on the determination date, the cash settlement amount for your notes may be significantly less than it would have been had the cash settlement amount been linked to the closing levels of the basket underliers prior to such drop in the levels of the basket underliers. Although the actual levels of the basket underliers on the stated maturity date or at other times during the term of your notes may be higher than the final underlier levels, you will not benefit from the closing levels of the basket underliers at any time other than on the determination date.

13 
 

You Have No Shareholder Rights or Rights to Receive Any Underlier Stock

Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any of the underlier stocks. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of your notes will have any voting rights, any right to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights to make a claim against the underlier stocks or any other rights with respect to the underlier stocks. Your notes will be paid in cash and you will have no right to receive delivery of any underlier stocks.

If You Purchase Your Notes at a Premium to Face Amount, the Return on Your Investment Will Be Lower Than the Return on Notes Purchased at Face Amount and the Impact of Certain Key Terms of the Notes Will Be Negatively Affected

The cash settlement amount will not be adjusted based on the original issue price you pay for the notes. If you purchase notes at a price that differs from the face amount of the notes, then the return on your investment in such notes held to the stated maturity date will differ from, and may be substantially less than, the return on notes purchased at face amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount and hold them to the stated maturity date, the return on your investment in the notes will be lower than it would have been had you purchased the notes at face amount or a discount to face amount.

In addition, the impact of the buffer level on the return on your investment, and the extent to which the buffer level will diminish your exposure to any negative basket return will depend upon the price you pay for your notes relative to face amount. For example, if you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount, the buffer level, while still providing some protection against exposure to any negative basket return, will allow a greater percentage decrease in your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at face amount or a discount to face amount.

Lastly, the impact of the cap level on the return on your investment, and the extent to which the cap level will diminish your exposure to any positive basket return (as leveraged by the upside participation rate), will also depend on the price you pay for your notes relative to face amount. For example, if you purchase your notes at a premium to face amount, the cap level will only permit a lower percentage increase in your investment in the notes than would have been the case for notes purchased at face amount or a discount to face amount.

Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Basket Underliers

Market Risk

The return on the notes is directly linked to the performance of the basket and indirectly linked to the value of the basket underliers (and the underlier stocks), and the extent to which the basket return is positive or negative. The level of the basket can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the basket underliers (and the underlier stocks), as well as general market factors, such as general market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. Recently, the coronavirus infection has caused volatility in the global financial markets and a slowdown in the global economy. Coronavirus or any other communicable disease or infection may adversely affect the issuers of the underlier stocks and, therefore, the basket underliers and the basket. You may lose some or all of your initial investment.

A Decrease in the Level of One Basket Underlier May Offset Increases in the Other Basket Underliers on the Determination Date

The cash settlement amount is based on the returns of the basket underliers; thus, declines in the level of one basket underlier may offset changes in the levels of the other basket underliers that are positive. As a result, the basket return could be negative even if relatively few of the basket underliers experience a decrease in their closing levels. As a result, you could lose a portion of your investment in the notes and may lose your entire investment depending on the performance of the basket. In addition, because the basket underliers are not equally weighted, increases in lower weighted basket underliers may be offset by even small decreases in more heavily weighted basket underliers.

The Basket Underliers Reflect Price Return, Not Total Return

The return on your notes is based on the performance of the basket, which reflects the changes in the market levels of the basket underliers, and the prices of their underlier stocks. It is not, however, linked to a “total return” index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the underlier stocks. The return on your notes will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.

The Notes Are Subject to Non-U.S. Securities Market Risk

Each of the basket underliers is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets, specifically the regions of the Eurozone, Japan, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Australia. An investment in notes linked directly or indirectly to the value of securities issued by non-U.S. companies involves particular risks.

14 
 

Generally, non-U.S. securities and futures markets may be more volatile than U.S. securities and futures markets, and market developments may affect non-U.S. markets differently from U.S. securities and futures markets. Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize these non-U.S. markets, as well as cross shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in those markets. There is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. Similarly, regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission generally do not apply to trading on non-U.S. exchanges, and trading on non-U.S. exchanges may involve different and greater risks than trading on U.S. exchanges.

Securities and futures prices in non-U.S. countries are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that may be unique to the particular country. These factors, which could negatively affect the non-U.S. securities and futures markets, include the possibility of recent or future changes in the non-U.S. government’s economic and fiscal policies, the possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other non-U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or investments in non-U.S. securities or futures contracts and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies. The United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the European Union on January 31, 2020 (an event commonly referred to as “Brexit”). The effects of Brexit are uncertain, and, among other things, Brexit has contributed, and may continue to contribute, to volatility in the prices of securities of companies located in Europe (or elsewhere) and currency exchange rates, including the valuation of the euro and British pound in particular. Moreover, certain aspects of a particular non-U.S. economy may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in important respects, such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

The Basket Return For the Notes Will Not Be Adjusted for Changes in Exchange Rates Related to the U.S. Dollar, Which Might Affect a Basket Underlier Whose Underlier Stocks Are Traded in Currencies Other Than the U.S. Dollar

Although the underlier stocks for the basket underliers are traded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the notes are denominated in U.S. dollars, and the calculation of the amount payable on the notes at maturity will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and any of the currencies in which such underlier stocks are denominated. Changes in exchange rates, however, may reflect changes in various non-U.S. economies that in turn may affect the levels of the basket underliers (and therefore the basket closing level) or basket return, as applicable, and therefore, the amount payable on your notes.

Changes That Affect Any Basket Underlier, Including Regulatory Changes, Could Have An Adverse Effect On the Value of The Notes and the Amount You Will Receive at Maturity of Your Notes

The policies of an underlier sponsor, each as defined under “The Basket and the Basket Underliers” below, concerning a basket underlier, additions, deletions or substitutions of the underlier stocks and the manner in which changes affecting the underlier stocks or the issuers of any underlier stocks (such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers) are reflected in any basket underlier, could affect the level of that basket underlier, and, therefore, could affect the amount payable on your notes at maturity and the market value of your notes prior to maturity. The amount payable on the notes and their market value could also be affected if an underlier sponsor changes these policies, for example by changing the manner in which it calculates a basket underlier, or if an underlier sponsor discontinues or suspends calculation or publication of a basket underlier, in which case it may become difficult to determine the market value of the notes.

Further, indices like the basket underliers have been, and continue to be, the subject of regulatory guidance and proposal for reform. including the European Union’s Regulation (EU) 2016/1011. The occurrence of a benchmark event (as defined in the accompanying product supplement under “General Terms of the Notes — Discontinuance of, Adjustments to or Benchmark Event Affecting an Index Underlier or an Index Basket Underlier; Alteration of Method of Calculation”), such as the failure of a benchmark (a basket underlier) or the administrator (an underlier sponsor) or user of a benchmark (such as UBS) to comply with the authorization, equivalence or other requirements of the benchmarks regulation, may result in the discontinuation of the relevant benchmark or a prohibition on its use.

If events such as these occur, or if the final underlier level of a basket underlier is not available because of a market disruption event, non-trading day or for any other reason, and no successor basket underlier is selected, the calculation agent — which initially will be UBS Securities LLC, an affiliate of UBS — may determine the final underlier level for such basket underlier — and thus the final basket level and any amount payable at maturity —in a manner it considers appropriate as described further in the accompanying product supplement under “— Discontinuance of, Adjustments to or Benchmark Event Affecting an Index Underlier or an Index Basket Underlier; Alteration of Method of Calculation”.

UBS Cannot Control Actions By the Underlier Sponsors or, Except to the Extent Our Common Stock is Included in a Basket Underlier, Any Issuer of an Underlier Stock and None of the Underlier Sponsors or Any Other Issuer of an Underlier Stock Have Any Obligation To Consider Your Interests

15 
 

UBS and its affiliates are not affiliated with any underlier sponsors and have no ability to control or predict their actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure regarding methods or policies relating to the calculation of the basket underliers. In addition, except to the extent our common stock is included in the Swiss Market Index, UBS and its affiliates are not affiliated with any issuer of an underlier stock and have no ability to control or predict their actions or their public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise. None of the underlier sponsors or any other issuer of an underlier stock are involved in the notes offering in any way and none have any obligation to consider your interest as an owner of the notes in taking any actions that might affect the market value of, and any amount payable at maturity on, your notes.

Estimated Value Considerations

The Issue Price You Pay for the Notes Exceeds Their Estimated Initial Value

The issue price you pay for the notes exceeds their estimated initial value as of the trade date due to the inclusion in the issue price of hedging costs, issuance and other costs and projected profits. As of the close of the relevant markets on the trade date, we have determined the estimated initial value of the notes by reference to our internal pricing models and it is set forth in this pricing supplement. The pricing models used to determine the estimated initial value of the notes incorporate certain variables, including the level of the basket and basket underliers, the volatility of the basket and basket underliers, the correlation among the basket underliers, any expected dividends on the underlier stocks, prevailing interest rates, the term of the notes and our internal funding rate. Our internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay to issue conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities of a similar term. Hedging costs, issuance and other costs, projected profits and the difference in rates will reduce the economic value of the notes to you. Due to these factors, the estimated initial value of the notes as of the trade date is less than the issue price you pay for the notes.

The Estimated Initial Value Is a Theoretical Price; the Actual Price that You May Be Able to Sell Your Notes in Any Secondary Market (if Any) at Any Time After the Trade Date May Differ From the Estimated Initial Value

The value of your notes at any time will vary based on many factors, including the factors described above and in “Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Basket Underliers — Market Risk” above and is impossible to predict. Furthermore, the pricing models that we use are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, after the trade date, if you attempt to sell the notes in the secondary market, the actual value you would receive may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated initial value of the notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. The estimated initial value of the notes does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market at any time.

Our Actual Profits May Be Greater or Less than the Differential Between the Estimated Initial Value and the Issue Price of the Notes as of the Trade Date

We may determine the economic terms of the notes, as well as hedge our obligations, at least in part, prior to the trade date. In addition, there may be ongoing costs to us to maintain and/or adjust any hedges and such hedges are often imperfect. Therefore, our actual profits (or potentially, losses) in issuing the notes cannot be determined as of the trade date and any such differential between the estimated initial value and the issue price of the notes as of the trade date does not reflect our actual profits. Ultimately, our actual profits will be known only at the maturity of the notes.

Risks Relating to Liquidity and Secondary Market Price Considerations

There May Be Little or No Secondary Market for the Notes

The notes 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 notes will develop. UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates may make a market in the notes, although they are not required to do so and may stop making a market at any time. If you are able to sell your notes prior to maturity, you may have to sell them at a substantial loss. The estimated initial value of the notes does not represent a minimum or maximum price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your notes in any secondary market at any time.

The Price at which UBS Securities LLC and Its Affiliates May Offer to Buy the Notes in the Secondary Market (if Any) May Be Greater than UBS’ Valuation of the Notes at that Time, Greater than Any Other Secondary Market Prices Provided by Unaffiliated Dealers (if Any) and, Depending on Your Broker, Greater than the Valuation Provided on Your Customer Account Statements

For a limited period of time following the issuance of the notes, UBS Securities LLC or its affiliates may offer to buy or sell such notes at a price that exceeds (i) our valuation of the notes at that time based on our internal pricing models, (ii) any secondary market prices provided by unaffiliated dealers (if any) and (iii) depending on your broker, the valuation provided on customer account statements. The price that UBS Securities LLC may initially offer to buy such notes following issuance will exceed the valuations indicated by our internal pricing models due to the inclusion for a limited period of time of the aggregate value of hedging costs, issuance and other costs and theoretical projected trading profit. The portion of such amounts included in our price will decline to zero on a straight line basis over a period ending no later than the date specified under “Summary Information — Key Terms — “Supplemental plan of distribution (conflicts of interest); secondary markets (if any)” herein. Thereafter, if UBS Securities LLC or an affiliate makes secondary markets in the notes, it will do so at prices that reflect our estimated value determined by reference to our internal pricing models at that time. The temporary

16 
 

positive differential relative to our internal pricing models arises from requests from and arrangements made by UBS Securities LLC with the selling agents of structured debt securities such as the notes. As described above, UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates are not required to make a market for the notes and may stop making a market at any time. The price at which UBS Securities LLC or an affiliate may make secondary markets at any time (if at all) will also reflect its then current bid-ask spread for similar sized trades of structured debt securities. UBS Securities LLC reflects this temporary positive differential on its customer statements. Investors should inquire as to the valuation provided on customer account statements provided by unaffiliated dealers.

Price of Notes Prior to Maturity

The market price of the notes will be influenced by many unpredictable and interrelated factors, including the level of the basket and basket underliers; the volatility of the basket and basket underliers; the correlation among the basket underliers; the dividend rate paid on the underlier stocks; the time remaining to the maturity of the notes; interest rates in the markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, force majeure and regulatory or judicial events; the creditworthiness of UBS and the then current bid-ask spread for the notes.

Impact of Fees and the Use of Internal Funding Rates Rather than Secondary Market Credit Spreads on Secondary Market Prices

All other things being equal, the use of the internal funding rates described above under “— Estimated Value Considerations” as well as the inclusion in the original issue price of hedging costs, issuance and other costs and any projected profits are, subject to the temporary mitigating effect of UBS Securities LLC’s and its affiliates’ market making premium, expected to reduce the price at which you may be able to sell the notes in any secondary market.

The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors

When we refer to the market value of your notes, we mean the value that you could receive for your notes if you chose to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date. A number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the market value of your notes, including:

·the volatility – i.e., the frequency and magnitude of changes – in the level of the basket and the basket underliers;
·the dividend rates of the underlier stocks;
·economic, financial, legislative, regulatory and political, military or other events that may affect the prices of any of the underlier stocks and thus the level of the basket;
·other interest rate and yield rates in the market;
·fluctuations in the exchange rate between currencies in which the relevant ordinary shares are quoted and traded and the U.S. dollar; and
·our creditworthiness, whether actual or perceived, and including actual or anticipated upgrades or downgrades in our credit ratings or changes in other credit measures.

These factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your notes before maturity, including the price you may receive for your notes in any market-making transaction. If you sell your notes prior to maturity, you may receive less than the face amount of your notes.

You cannot predict the future levels of the basket based on its hypothetical historical performance. The actual change in the value in the basket over the term of the notes, as well as the amount payable on the stated maturity date, may bear little or no relation to the hypothetical historical basket closing levels or to the hypothetical examples shown elsewhere herein.

If the Level of the Basket Changes, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner

Your notes may trade quite differently from the performance of the basket. Changes in the level of the basket may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your notes. This is because your cash settlement amount at maturity will be based on the final basket level and subject to the maximum settlement amount. If the basket return is negative and the final basket level is less than the buffer level, you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment in the notes. We discuss some of the reasons for this disparity under “— The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” above.

The Notes are Considered “Hold To Maturity” Products

Generally, there is no liquid market for the notes.

Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest

17 
 

Potential Conflict of Interest

UBS and its affiliates may engage in business related to the basket underliers or underlier stocks, which may present a conflict between the obligations of UBS and you, as a holder of the notes. There are also potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent, which will be an affiliate of UBS. The calculation agent will determine the basket return and the cash settlement amount, if any, based on the final underlier levels and final basket level. The calculation agent can postpone the determination of any final underlier level (and therefore the final basket level) if a market disruption event occurs and is continuing with respect to the applicable basket underlier on the determination date. The calculation agent also has discretion in making certain adjustments relating to a modification of the basket. As UBS determines the economic terms of the notes, including the upside participation rate, the cap level and the buffer level, and such terms include hedging costs, issuance and other costs and projected profits, the notes represent a package of economic terms. There are other potential conflicts of interest insofar as an investor could potentially get better economic terms if that investor entered into exchange-traded and/or OTC derivatives or other instruments with third parties, assuming that such instruments were available and the investor had the ability to assemble and enter into such instruments.

Furthermore, given that UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates temporarily maintain a market making premium, it may have the effect of discouraging UBS Securities LLC and its affiliates from recommending the sale of your notes in the secondary market. UBS or its affiliates may earn additional profits (or potentially incur losses) as a result of payments pursuant to such hedging activities. In performing these duties, the economic interests of UBS, UBS Securities LLC, the dealers or their respective affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. Additionally, hedging activities may adversely affect the market value of your notes and the amount we will pay on your notes.

Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions or Recommendations By UBS

UBS 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. 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 underlier to which the notes are linked.

Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics

The Notes Are Subject to the Credit Risk of the Issuer

The notes are unsubordinated, unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, UBS, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the notes, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of UBS to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of UBS may affect the market value of the notes and, in the event UBS were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the notes and you could lose your entire initial investment.

The Notes Are Not Bank Deposits

An investment in the notes carries risks which are very different from the risk profile of a bank deposit placed with UBS or its affiliates. The notes have different yield and/or return, liquidity and risk profiles and would not benefit from any protection provided to deposits.

If UBS Experiences Financial Difficulties, FINMA Has the Power to Open Restructuring or Liquidation Proceedings in Respect of, and/or Impose Protective Measures in Relation to, UBS, Which Proceedings or Measures May Have a Material Adverse Effect on the Terms and Market Value of the Notes and/or the Ability of UBS to Make Payments Thereunder

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”) has broad statutory powers to take measures and actions in relation to UBS if (i) it concludes that there is justified concern that UBS is over-indebted or has serious liquidity problems or (ii) UBS fails to fulfill the applicable capital adequacy requirements (whether on a standalone or consolidated basis) after expiry of a deadline set by FINMA. If one of these pre-requisites is met, FINMA is authorized to open restructuring proceedings or liquidation (bankruptcy) proceedings in respect of, and/or impose protective measures in relation to, UBS. The Swiss Banking Act grants significant discretion to FINMA in connection with the aforementioned proceedings and measures. In particular, a broad variety of protective measures may be imposed by FINMA, including a bank moratorium or a maturity postponement, which measures may be ordered by FINMA either on a stand-alone basis or in connection with restructuring or liquidation proceedings. The resolution regime of the Swiss Banking Act is further detailed in Ordinance of 30 August 2012 of FINMA on the Insolvency of Banks and Securities Dealers, as amended (the “Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance”). In restructuring proceedings, FINMA, as resolution authority, is competent to approve the resolution plan. The resolution plan may, among other things, provide for (a) the transfer of all or a portion of UBS’ assets, debts, other liabilities and contracts (which may or may not include the contractual relationship between UBS and the holders of notes) to another entity, (b) a stay (for a maximum of two business days) on the termination of contracts to which UBS is a party, and/or the exercise of (w) rights to terminate, (x) netting rights, (y) rights to enforce or dispose of collateral or (z) rights to transfer claims, liabilities or collateral under contracts to which UBS is a party, (c) the conversion of UBS’ debt and/or other obligations, including its obligations under the notes, into equity (a “debt-to-equity” swap), and/or (d) the partial or full write-off of obligations owed by UBS (a “write-off”), including its obligations under the notes. The Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance provides that a debt-to-equity swap and/or a write-off of debt and other obligations (including the notes) may take place only after (i) all debt instruments issued by UBS qualifying as additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital have been converted into

18 
 

equity or written-off, as applicable, and (ii) the existing equity of UBS has been fully cancelled. While the Swiss Banking Insolvency Ordinance does not expressly address the order in which a write-off of debt instruments other than debt instruments qualifying as additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital should occur, it states that debt-to-equity swaps should occur in the following order: first, all subordinated claims not qualifying as regulatory capital; second, all other claims not excluded by law from a debt-to-equity swap (other than deposits); and third, deposits (in excess of the amount privileged by law). However, given the broad discretion granted to FINMA as the resolution authority, any restructuring plan in respect of UBS could provide that the claims under or in connection with the notes will be partially or fully converted into equity or written-off, while preserving other obligations of UBS that rank pari passu with, or even junior to, UBS’ obligations under the notes. Consequently, the exercise of any such powers by FINMA or any suggestion of any such exercise could materially adversely affect the rights of holders of the notes, the price or value of their investment in the notes and/or the ability of UBS to satisfy its obligations under the notes and could lead to holders losing some or all of their investment in the notes. In the case of restructuring proceedings with respect to a systemically important Swiss bank (such as UBS), the creditors whose claims are affected by the restructuring plan will not have a right to vote on, reject, or seek the suspension of the restructuring plan. In addition, if a restructuring plan has been approved by FINMA, the rights of a creditor to seek judicial review of the restructuring plan (e.g., on the grounds that the plan would unduly prejudice the rights of holders of notes or otherwise be in violation of the Swiss Banking Act) are very limited. In particular, a court may not suspend the implementation of the restructuring plan. Furthermore, even if a creditor successfully challenges the restructuring plan, the court can only require the relevant creditor to be compensated ex post and there is currently no guidance as to on what basis such compensation would be calculated or how it would be funded.

Risks Relating to U.S. Federal Income Taxation

Uncertain Tax Treatment

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, judicial decisions or administrative determinations addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the notes, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the notes as prepaid derivative contracts that are not debt. Accordingly, it is possible that your notes could alternatively be treated for tax purposes, and that the timing and character of the income or loss on your notes could be materially and adversely affected.

In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the notes. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are actively considering whether the holder of an instrument similar to the notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations. Except to the extent otherwise required by law, UBS intends to treat your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above under “Supplemental discussion of U.S. federal income tax consequences” and under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Purchasers of notes should consult their tax advisors as to the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. For more information, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement.

General Risk Factors

We May Sell an Additional Aggregate Face Amount of the Notes at a Different Issue Price

At our sole option, we may decide to sell an additional aggregate face amount of the notes subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement. The issue price, underwriting discount and net proceeds of the notes in the subsequent sale may differ substantially (higher or lower) from the original issue price you paid as provided on the cover of this pricing supplement. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in the notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

In the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as special counsel to the issuer, when the notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by the issuer and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture and delivered, paid for and sold as contemplated herein, the notes will be valid and binding obligations of the issuer, enforceable against the issuer in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by Swiss law, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP has assumed, without independent inquiry or investigation, the validity of the matters opined on by Homburger AG, Swiss legal counsel for the issuer, in its opinion dated February 24, 2021 filed on that date with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 5.3 to the issuer’s registration statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”). In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and, with respect to the notes, authentication of the notes and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP dated March 1, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 6-K on March 2, 2022.

The Basket and the Basket Underliers

The basket consists of five basket underliers with the following weights: the EURO STOXX 50® Index (36.00% weighting), TOPIX® Index (26.00% weighting), FTSE® 100 Index (17.00% weighting), Swiss Market Index (12.00% weighting) and S&P/ASX 200 Index (9.00% weighting).

HYPOTHETICAL HISTORICAL BASKET LEVELS

Because the basket is a newly created basket and its level began to be calculated only on the trade date, there is no actual historical information about the basket closing levels as of the date of this document. Therefore, the hypothetical basket closing levels of the basket below are calculated based on publicly available information for each basket underlier as reported by Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. UBS has not conducted any independent review or due diligence of publicly available information obtained from Bloomberg. The hypothetical basket closing levels have fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any hypothetical historical upward or downward trend in the basket closing level during any period shown below is not an indication that the basket is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of your notes.

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical performance of the basket from January 1, 2017 through May 19, 2022, based on the daily closing levels of the basket underliers. Past hypothetical performance of the basket is not indicative of the future performance of the basket.

EURO STOXX 50® Index

We have derived all information contained herein regarding the EURO STOXX 50® Index, 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 STOXX Limited. The information included below supplements the description of the EURO STOXX 50® Index found in the accompanying index supplement.

STOXX Limited has no obligation to continue to publish the EURO STOXX 50® Index, and may discontinue publication of the EURO STOXX 50® Index at any time. The EURO STOXX 50® Index is determined, comprised and calculated by STOXX Limited without regard to the notes.

As discussed more fully in the accompanying index supplement under the heading “Underlying Indices and Underlying Index Publishers — Non-U.S. Indices — EURO STOXX 50® Index”, the EURO STOXX 50® Index covers 50 stocks of market sector leaders mainly from 8 Eurozone countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. The EURO STOXX 50® Index captures a selection of the largest stocks among the 20 EURO STOXX regional Supersector indices. The largest stocks within those indices are added to the selection list until coverage is approximately 60% of the free float market capitalization of the corresponding EURO STOXX Total Market Index (the “EURO STOXX TMI”) Supersector Index and from that selection list the 50 stocks are selected. The EURO STOXX 50® Index universe is defined as all components of the 20 EURO STOXX Regional Supersector indices. The EURO STOXX Supersector indices represent the Eurozone portion of the STOXX 600 Supersector indices, which contain the 600 largest stocks traded on the major exchanges of 17 European countries. Each component’s weight is capped at 10% of the EURO STOXX 50® Index’s total free-float market capitalization. Additional information regarding the EURO STOXX 50® Index, including the top constituents, sectors and country weightings, may be obtained from the STOXX Limited website: stoxx.com.

Historical Closing Levels of the Basket Underlier

The closing level of the basket underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the closing level of the basket underlier shown below is not an indication that the basket underlier is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of your notes.

The following graph illustrates the performance of the basket underlier from January 1, 2012 through May 19, 2022, based on information reported by Bloomberg, without independent verification. Past performance of the basket underlier is not indicative of the future performance of the basket underlier.

TOPIX® Index

We have derived all information contained herein regarding the TOPIX® Index contained herein, including, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. The TOPIX® Index, also known as the Tokyo Stock Price Index, is a free-float adjusted capitalization-weighted index of all the domestic common stocks listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”, or the “TOPIX underlier sponsor”). Domestic stocks admitted to the TSE are assigned either to the TSE First Section Index, the TSE Second Section Index or the TSE Mothers Index. Stocks listed in the First Section, which number approximately 1,500, are among the most actively traded stocks on the TSE. The TOPIX® Index is supplemented by the sub-basket components of the 33 industry sectors and was developed with a base index value of 100 as of January 4, 1968. The TOPIX® Index is calculated and published by the TSE. Additional information about the TOPIX® Index, including constituent weightings by sector, is available on the following website: jpx.co.jp/english/markets/indices/topix/. We are not incorporating by reference the website or any material it includes in this document or any document incorporated herein by reference.

Composition and Maintenance. The TOPIX® Index is composed of all domestic common stocks listed on the TSE First Section, excluding temporary issues and preferred stocks. Companies scheduled to be delisted or newly listed companies that are still in the waiting period are excluded from the TOPIX® Index. The TOPIX® Index does not review underlier stocks. The number of underlier stocks will change according to new listings and delistings.

Index Calculation. The TOPIX® Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization-weighted index, which reflects movements in the market capitalization from a base market value of 100 set on the base date of January 4, 1968. The TSE calculates the TOPIX® Index multiplying the base point of 100 by the figure obtained from dividing the current free float adjusted market value by the base market value. The resulting value is not expressed in Japanese yen but presented in terms of points rounded to the nearest one hundredth. The formula for calculating the TOPIX® Index value can be expressed:

Index value = Base point of 100 x Current free float adjusted market value
Base Market Value

The current free float adjusted market value is the sum of the products of the price and the number of free float adjusted shares for index calculation of each underlier stock.

The number of free float adjusted shares for index calculation is the number of listed shares multiplied by free-float weight. The number of listed shares for index calculation is determined by the TSE. The number of listed shares for index calculation normally coincides with that of listed shares. However, in the case of a stock split, the number of listed shares increases at the additional listing date which comes after such stock split becomes effective; on the other hand, the number of listed shares for index calculation increases at the ex-rights date.

Free-float weight is a weight of listed shares deemed to be available for trading in the market and is determined and calculated by the TSE for each listed company for index calculation. The free-float weight of one company may be different from that of any other company. Free-float weight is reviewed once a year in order to reflect the latest distribution of share ownership. The timing of the yearly free-float weight review is different according to the settlement terms of listed companies. In addition to the yearly review, extraordinary reviews are conducted in the following cases: allocation of new shares to a third party, strategic exercise of preferred shares or equity warrants, company spin-off, merger, stock-swap, take-over bid and other events that the TSE judges as appropriate reasons to review.

In the event of any increase or decrease in the current free-float adjusted market value due to reasons other than fluctuations in the TSE, such as public offerings or changes in the number of underlier stocks in the TSE First Section, necessary adjustments are made by the TSE to the base market value in order to maintain the continuity of the TOPIX® Index. The TSE makes adjustments as follows:

Event

Implementation of Adjustment (After Close of Trading)

Price Used for Adjustments

Addition Company to be listed on the TSE First Section by initial public offering or via another stock exchange One business day before the last business day of the next month of listing Price on the adjustment date

No adjustments will be made to the base market value in the case of a stock split or reverse stock split.

Retroactive adjustments will not be made to revise the figures of the TOPIX® Index that have already been calculated and disseminated even if issuing companies file amendments on previously released information.

If trading in a certain underlier stock is suspended, the TSE regards it as having no change in its share price for purposes of calculating the TOPIX® Index. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, or if the TSE decides it is impossible to use its existing methods to calculate the TOPIX® Index, the TSE may use an alternate method of index calculation as it deems valid.

FTSE® 100 Index

We have derived all information contained herein regarding the FTSE® 100 Index, 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 FTSE Group (the “FTSE underlier sponsor”). UBS has not conducted any independent review or due diligence of any publicly available information with respect to the FTSE® 100 Index. The information included below supplements the description of the FTSE® 100 Index found in the accompanying index supplement.

The FTSE underlier sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue publication of, the FTSE® 100 Index. The FTSE underlier sponsor has no obligation to take into account your interest, or that of anyone else having an interest, in the notes in determining, composing or calculating the FTSE® 100 Index.

As discussed more fully in the accompanying index supplement under “Underlying Indices and Underlying Index Publishers — Non-U.S. Indices — FTSE® 100 Index”, the FTSE® 100 Index is a market capitalization-weighted index and consists of the 100 most highly capitalized UK-domiciled companies traded on the SETS trading system of the London Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”). To qualify, companies must have a full listing on the Exchange with a Sterling or Euro denominated price on the Exchange’s SETS trading system, subject to eligibility screens. The FTSE Europe/Middle East/Africa Regional (“EMEA”) Committee meets quarterly, on the Wednesday before the first Friday in March, June, September and December, to review the underlier stocks of the FTSE 100 Index. A constant number of underlier stocks are maintained for the FTSE 100 Index. Where a greater number of companies qualify to be inserted in the FTSE 100 Index than those qualifying to be deleted, the lowest ranking underlier stocks presently included in the FTSE 100 Index will be deleted to ensure that an equal number of companies are inserted and deleted at the periodic review. Likewise, where a greater number of companies qualify to be deleted than those qualifying to be inserted, the securities of the highest ranking companies which are presently not included in the FTSE 100 Index will be inserted to match the number of companies being deleted at the periodic review.

In addition to the eligibility criteria discussed under “Underlying Indices and Underlying Index Publishers — Non-U.S. Indices — FTSE® 100 Index” of the accompanying index supplement, in order to be included in the FTSE® 100 Index, a company is required to have greater than 5% of its voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including, where identifiable, those that are not listed or trading) in the hands of unrestricted shareholders. Current constituents of the FTSE® 100 Index who do not meet this requirement will have until the September 2022 review to meet the requirement or they will be removed from the FTSE® 100 Index.

Swiss Market Index

The Swiss Market Index (the “SMI Index”) contains approximately 85% of the entire free float market capitalization of the Swiss equity market and is made up of 20 of the largest and most liquid stocks from the Swiss Performance Index (“SPI”). Its composition is examined twice a year by the Management Committee and the Index Commission, and any changes to the index composition of the SMI Index are made once a year. The SMI Index was standardized on June 30, 1988 at a baseline value of 1500 points and is maintained by the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd (the “SMI underlier sponsor”). Additional information on the SMI Index is available from the following website: six-swiss-exchange.com/indices/overview_en.html. We are not incorporating by reference the website or any material it includes in this document or any document incorporated herein by reference.

The position of each security is determined by a combination of average free-float market capitalization (compared to the capitalization of the entire SPI) and cumulated on order book turnover (compared to the total turnover of the SPI). The 18 securities with the highest rank are selected for inclusion in the SMI Index. In order to reduce turnover, a buffer is applied for securities ranked 19 to 22. Out of the securities ranked 19 to 22 current components are selected with priority over the other securities. New components out of the buffer are selected until 20 components have been reached.

Capped Weightings and Intra-Quarter Breaches. The weight of any underlier stock that exceeds a weight of 18% within the SMI Index is reduced to that value at each ordinary quarterly adjustment date by applying a capping factor to the calculation of such underlier stock’s free float market capitalization. An underlier stock’s number of shares and free float figure are used to determine its capping factor. The excess weight (the difference of the original weight minus the capped weight) is distributed proportionally across the other underlier stocks. The underlier stocks are also capped to 18% as soon as two underlier stocks exceed a weight of 20% (an “intra-quarter breach”). If an intra-quarter breach is observed after the close of the markets, the new capping factors are implemented after the close of the following trading day. The weights of the largest components are therefore set again to 18% effective after the close of the following trading day. If an issuer is represented in the SMI Index by more than one security, the free float market capitalization of those securities is cumulated for the calculation of the capping factors.

The SMI Index is a non-dividend-adjusted price index. The SMI Index is calculated using the Laspeyres method with the weighted arithmetic mean of a defined number of securities issues. The index level is calculated by dividing the market capitalization of all securities included in the index by a divisor.

The divisor is a technical number used to calculate the index. If the market capitalization changes due to a corporate event, the divisor changes while the index value remains the same. The new divisor is calculated on the evening of the day before the corporate event takes effect. Regular cash dividend payments do not result in adjustments to the divisor. Repayments of capital through the reduction of a share's par value, which can take the place of a regular cash dividend or constitute a component of the regular distribution, are treated in the same way as a normal dividend payment and no adjustments are made to the divisor. Distributions such as special dividends and anniversary bonuses that, contrary to a company's usual dividend policy, are paid out or declared extraordinary dividends, are not deemed dividends in the above sense. These distributions are considered corporate events and also result in adjustments to the divisor.

Sector designations are determined by the index sponsor using criteria it has selected or developed. Index sponsors may use very different standards for determining sector designations. In addition, many companies operate in a number of sectors, but are listed in only one sector and the basis on which that sector is selected may also differ. As a result, sector comparisons between indices with different index sponsors may reflect differences in methodology as well as actual differences in the sector composition of the indices. FTSE Russell, which manages the ICB has implemented structural updates to the Industry Classification Benchmark (“ICB”), effective July 1, 2019. FTSE Russell added an 11th industry, Real Estate, to the ICB, expanded and reorganized the previously existing Telecommunications industry, reorganized the Consumer Goods and Consumer Services industries into Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary industries, respectively, and renamed the Oil & Gas industry to the Energy industry. The Real Estate industry contains the Real Estate Investment & Services sector and the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) sector. However, because Mortgage REITs derive revenue from real estate financing rather than from real estate itself, they remain in the Financials industry. The

Telecommunications industry was expanded via the addition of companies from the previously existing Technology industry and the previously existing Media sector and reorganized by creating a new Telecommunications Equipment sector and new Telecommunications Services (which includes Fixed Line Telecommunications and Mobile Telecommunications companies) and Cable Television Services subsectors, which are grouped at the sector level as the Telecommunications Service Providers sector. The new Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary industries are a blend of the previously existing Consumer Goods and Consumer Services industries, with a majority of the weight in the existing Consumer Goods industry having shifted to the new Consumer Staples industry and a majority of the weight in the existing Consumer Services industry having shifted to the new Consumer Discretionary industry.

S&P/ASX 200 Index

The S&P/ASX 200 Index (the “S&P/ASX 200 Index”) was introduced in April 2000 and is maintained by the S&P/ASX Index Committee (the “ASX Committee”), a team of five representatives from both S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P”) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

The S&P/ASX 200 Index is composed of the 200 largest index-eligible stocks listed on the ASX by float-adjusted market capitalization. The index is float-adjusted, covering approximately 80% of Australian equity market capitalization.

Only stocks listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (the “ASX”) are considered for inclusion in the S&P/ASX 200 Index. Stocks are assessed based on the average of their previous six-month day-end free float adjusted market capitalization. Only stocks that are regularly traded are considered for inclusion in the S&P/ASX 200 Index. A stock’s liquidity is measured relative to its size peers.

The ASX Committee rebalances the underlier stocks quarterly to ensure adequate market capitalization and liquidity. Both market capitalization and liquidity are assessed using the previous six months’ worth of data to determine index eligibility. Quarterly rebalancing changes take effect on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. The weighting of underlier stocks in the S&P/ASX 200 Index is determined by a float factor, called an Investable Weight Factor (“IWF”) assigned to each stock by the ASX Committee. The IWF is a variable that is primarily used to determine the available float of a security for ASX listed securities. IWFs are reviewed annually as part of the September quarterly review.

The S&P/ASX 200 Index is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology where the level of an index reflects the total market value of all the component stocks relative to a particular base period. On any given day, the index value is the quotient of the total available market capitalization of the index’s underlier stocks and its divisor. Continuity in index values is maintained by adjusting the divisor for all changes in an underlier stock’s share capital after the base date.

You may find information about the S&P/ASX 200 Index, including the weightings for each sector, country weightings and top constituents, on the S&P website at us.spindices.com/indices/equity/sp-asx-200.
