We are pleased to offer you a way to liquidate certain of your auction rate securities (ARS). UBS has designed a solution that gives you the option to hold your ARS or sell the securities back to UBS. This solution is available for ARS that were held in a UBS account on February 13, 2008, and that are not successfully clearing at auction (Eligible ARS).

UBS is offering you “Auction Rate Securities Rights” (Rights) to sell Eligible ARS at par value to UBS at any time during a two-year time period. These Rights are nontransferable securities registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is a limited time offer that will expire on November 14, 2008. Accepting this offer may impact your legal rights. Not accepting this offer may have repercussions on outstanding loans secured by Eligible ARS. As a result, it is important that you review the prospectus carefully.

The key features and terms of the offer are summarized below. For complete details, please see the enclosed prospectus.

·	UBS is offering you nontransferable Rights to sell Eligible ARS, held in the UBS account identified above, at par value to UBS at any time during the period of June 30, 2010, through July 2, 2012.
	·	You may instruct your UBS Financial Advisor to exercise these Rights at any time during this time period;
	·	If you do not exercise your Rights, the Eligible ARS will continue to accrue interest or dividends as determined by the auction process;
	·	If you do not exercise your Rights before July 2, 2012, they will expire and UBS will have no further obligation to buy your Eligible ARS.

·	Clients who accept this offer give UBS the discretion to purchase or sell their Eligible ARS at any time after accepting the firm’s offer and without other prior notice.
	·	UBS will purchase tax-exempt Auction Preferred Stock (a specific type of ARS also known as APS) at any time after clients accept the firm’s Rights offer;
	·	UBS will only exercise its discretion to purchase or sell Eligible ARS for the purpose of restructurings, dispositions or other solutions that will provide clients with par value for their Eligible ARS;
	·	In purchasing Eligible ARS or selling Eligible ARS on behalf of clients, including tax-exempt APS, UBS will act in its capacity as broker-dealer and will execute these transactions on a principal basis regardless of the type of client accounts in which the Eligible ARS are held. Please see pages 27-28 in the enclosed prospectus for more information;
	·	UBS will pay clients par value for their Eligible ARS within one day of settlement of the transaction;
	·	Eligible ARS are subject to issuer redemptions at any time.
