UBS AG announced today that it will redeem all of the outstanding securities in each of the ten series of UBS-issued exchange traded notes set forth in the following table (collectively, the “ETNs”), which are currently listed on NYSE Arca. UBS AG expects to deliver redemption notices with respect to each of the ETNs to holders of the applicable ETNs with Call Settlement Dates as set forth in the table below. With respect to BDCZ, this press release is an advance announcement of the anticipated redemption and does not constitute the call notice under the applicable prospectus supplement. UBS AG expects to issue the call notice for BDCZ on November 24, 2026.

[1] The table above provides a hyperlink to the relevant prospectus supplement for each of the ETNs, which are identified by their names. Each of the above ETNs are part of the UBS AG’s Medium Term Notes, Series B, on which UBS AG is sole obligor. 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.

The Call Settlement Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, payable on the Call Settlement Date will be calculated as specified in the relevant prospectus supplement.

We expect that the last day of trading for HDLB, PFFL and SMHB will be December 16, 2026, and the last day of trading for the rest the ETNs in Table-1 above will be December 17, 2026.

As disclosed in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement(s) 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. In addition, on the applicable Call Settlement Date, holders will receive the Call Settlement Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, as described in each applicable prospectus supplement but will not receive any premium thereto. Accordingly, investors who purchase the ETNs at any time prior to the Call Settlement Date for an amount that is greater than the Call Settlement Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable (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 Call Settlement Date.
If investors elect to redeem any such ETNs, any redemption will be at the redemption value set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement(s) and will not include any premium above that value. Investors should always consult their financial advisors and compare the intraday indicative value of the ETNs with the ETNs’ then-prevailing market price before purchasing or selling any such ETNs, especially notes with premium characteristics. The applicable prospectus supplement(s) for the ETNs can be accessed by clicking on the name of the ETN identified in the table above as well as on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.
This announcement does not affect the terms of the outstanding ETNs, including the right of holders to require UBS AG to redeem their ETNs on the terms and at the redemption price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement(s). 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.
