Notice of written resolution for UBS Actively Managed Certificate linked to
the ABSA SPM Global Equity Portfolio 1 Portfolio (the "Notes")
1. Notice of written resolution to Noteholders
UBS AG hereby gives notice to holders of all the outstanding Notes (the
"Noteholders") requesting that they consider and, if thought fit,
consent to the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution in the form of a
written resolution as set out below.
Unless otherwise defined, words and expressions used in this notice
will bear the same meaning as in the Information Memorandum of the
Issuer dated 16 September 2019 (the "Information Memorandum"), to be
read with the amended and restated Final Terms for the Notes dated 24
October 2024 (the "Final Terms").
WHEREAS
Noteholders are required to notify their Broker or Central Securities
Depositary participant by signing the written Extraordinary Resolution
and delivering a signed electronic copy thereof, as set out in paragraph
5 below, by no later than 17 September 2025, being 20 Business Days
after the date of publication of this notice on SENS.
2. Proposed amendments to be made to the Final Terms
The Issuer wishes to amend the Final Terms as specified in the Further
Amended and Restated Final Terms.
(i) change the identity of the Reference Portfolio Advisor from Absa
Bank Limited (Absa) to Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management
(Pty) Limited (Absa SPM). At present, Absa Bank Limited delegates
management of the Reference Portfolio to Absa SPM. The Issuer now
wishes to appoint Absa SPM directly as Reference Portfolio Advisor.
Consequently, the Issuer proposes adjustments to the fees and costs
associated with the creation, maintenance, and management of the
Reference Portfolio. The Issuer Management Fee will be adjusted
from 0.55% per annum to 0.25% per annum, while the Reference
Portfolio Advisor fee will be adjusted from 0.25% per annum to
0.55% per annum. The net position of the total fees and costs
associated with the Notes will remain unchanged at 0.80% per annum.
Additionally, adjustments will be made to the investment parameters
and other terms of the Notes. Given that Absa SPM already performs
the Reference Portfolio Advisor role on a delegated basis, the
proposed amendments are not expected to have a material impact on
Noteholders.
(ii) update the description of the Notes and the JSE long name as
detailed below. These changes are administrative in nature and are
therefore not expected to have a material impact on Noteholders;
and
Description changes:
Old Description: ABSA SPM Global Equity Portfolio

occasions for an additional period of five years.
