NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UBS AG announced today the Payment at Maturity of the UBS-issued UBS AG FI Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETNs due June 19, 2024 (the “ETNs”), as set forth in the following table.

Table-1
ETN Ticker	ETN Name and Prospectus Supplement [1]	Payment at Maturity	CUSIP	Maturity Date
FBGX	UBS AG FI Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETN due June 19, 2024[2]	$939.5829	902677780	06/20/2024*
* The originally scheduled Maturity Date of June 19, 2024 is expected to be adjusted to June 20, 2024 due to a non-Trading Day on June 19, 2024 as described in the prospectus supplements.
[1] The table above provides a hyperlink to the relevant prospectus and supplements thereto for the ETNs. The ETNs are part of the UBS AG’s Medium Term Notes, Series A, on which UBS AG and UBS Switzerland AG are co-obligors. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the relevant prospectus supplement (including, as applicable, any product supplement and pricing supplement (each such supplement, a “prospectus supplement”)) for the ETNs.

On May 17, 2024, UBS AG provided a reminder regarding the upcoming maturity of the UBS AG FI Enhanced Large Cap Growth ETNs. UBS will pay the applicable Payment at Maturity to investors holding the ETNs on the Maturity Date of the ETNs. We expect that the last day of trading for the ETNs will be June 18, 2024.

UBS AG had previously announced on January 7, 2022 that it would cap the maximum number of ETNs outstanding at any time to 245,000. At that time, UBS AG expected that its affiliate, UBS Securities LLC, may continue to sell the ETNs that UBS AG had previously issued or that UBS Securities LLC may acquire in the future, subject to the maximum number of the ETNs outstanding as specified previously. UBS AG expected that the ETNs would continue to trade on the NYSE Arca and that its affiliate, UBS Securities LLC, may continue to make markets in the ETNs. UBS AG currently expects to continue to cap the maximum number of ETNs until the Maturity Date.

As disclosed in more detail in the prospectus supplements for the ETNs, the market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among other things, supply and demand for the ETNs. It is possible that the discontinuance of further issuances of the ETNs by UBS AG may influence the market value of the ETNs. The suspension of new issuances of the ETNs could affect the liquidity of the market for the ETNs, potentially leading to insufficient supply and causing the ETNs to trade at a premium above their closing or intraday indicative value. Any such premium may subsequently decrease at any time and for any reason without warning, resulting in financial loss to sellers who paid this premium when they acquired their ETNs.

Accordingly, investors who purchase the ETNs at any time prior to the Maturity Date for an amount that is greater than the Payment at Maturity (including paying any premium to the indicative value of the ETNs) will suffer a loss on their investment if they hold their ETNs until the Maturity Date.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these ETNs in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
