PRICING SUPPLEMENT (To Prospectus dated January 13, 2009 and Product Supplement dated November 14, 2011)

UBS AG $4,649,800 Trigger Performance Securities

Linked to an International Fund Basket due November 30, 2016

Investment Description

UBS AG Trigger Performance Securities (the “Securities”) are unsubordinated, unsecured debt securities issued by UBS AG (“UBS” or the “Issuer”) linked to the performance of a weighted basket (the “underlying basket”) of exchange traded funds (each, a “basket equity”) that invest predominately in international equities. If the basket return is positive, at maturity, UBS will repay your principal amount plus pay a return based on the basket return multiplied by a participation rate of 134.82%. If the basket return is zero or negative and the final basket level is equal to or greater than the trigger level, UBS will repay the full principal amount at maturity. However, if the final basket level is less than the trigger level, UBS will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss on your investment that is proportionate to the negative basket return. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. The Securities do not pay interest or dividend payments. You may lose some or all of your principal amount. The contingent repayment of principal only applies if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS. If the UBS were to default on its payment obligations you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

Features

q Participation in Positive Basket Returns: At maturity, the Securities provide participation in any positive basket return at the participation rate. If the basket return is negative, investors may be exposed to the negative basket return at maturity.

q Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity: If the basket return is zero or negative and the final basket level is not below the trigger level, UBS will repay the principal amount at maturity. However, if the final basket level is less than the trigger level, UBS will repay less than the full principal amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss to investors that is proportionate to the negative basket return. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if your hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS.

Key Dates

Trade Date* November 23, 2011
Settlement Date* November 30, 2011
Final Valuation Date** November 23, 2016
Maturity Date** November 30, 2016
  • We expect to deliver each offering of the Securities against payment on or about the fourth business day following the trade date. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Securities on the trade date will be required, by virtue of the fact that each Securities initially will settle in four business days (T+4), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

** Subject to postponement in the event of a market disruption event, as described in the Trigger Performance Securities product supplement.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING BASKET. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF UBS. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 4 AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-15 OF THE TRIGGER PERFORMANCE SECURITIES PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Some of the risks that apply to the Securities are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the product supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities.

¨ Risk of loss — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that the issuer will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Securities. If the basket return is negative, UBS will repay you the principal amount of your Securities in cash only if the final basket level is greater than or equal to the trigger level and will only make such payment at maturity. If the final basket level is below the trigger level, you will lose some or all of your initial investment in an amount proportionate to the decline in the level of the underlying basket from the trade date to the final valuation date.

¨ The contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the level of the underlying basket is above the trigger level.

¨ The participation rate applies only at maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, the price you receive will likely not reflect the full economic value of the participation rate or the Securities themselves and the return you realize may be less than the basket return even if such return is positive. You can receive the full benefit of the participation rate only if you hold your Securities to maturity.

¨ No interest payments — UBS will not pay any interest with respect to the Securities.

¨ Credit of UBS — The Securities are senior 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 Securities, 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 Securities 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 Securities and you could lose your entire initial investment.

¨ Market risk — The price of the basket equities can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that basket equity and the issuer of such basket equity or the securities, futures contracts, commodities or other assets constituting the assets of that exchange traded fund (“underlying assets”), such as price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock and commodity market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions.

¨ Changes in closing prices of the basket equities may offset each other — The Securities are linked to a weighted basket composed of the basket equities. Where the final equity price of one of the basket equities increases relative to its initial equity price, the final equity price of the other basket equity may not increase by the same amount or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the final basket level, increases in the price of one of the basket equities may be moderated, or offset, by lesser increases or declines in the price of the other basket equity. This affect is further amplified by the differing weights of the basket equities. The more heavily weighted basket equity, iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (“EFA Fund”), will have a larger impact on the basket return than the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (“EEM Fund”), which has a lesser weighting.

¨ Owning the Securities is not the same as owning the basket equities — The return on the Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the basket equities. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions during the term of the Securities. As an owner of the Securities, you will not have voting rights or any other rights that holders of the basket equities may have.

¨ No assurance that the investment view implicit in the Securities will be successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the level of the underlying basket will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the level of the underlying basket will rise above the initial basket level or that the final basket level will not fall below the trigger level. The final basket level of the underlying basket will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the issuers of the basket equities or the underlying assets of that exchange traded fund. You should be willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the basket equities in particular, and the risk of losing some or all of your initial investment.

¨ The calculation agent can make adjustments that affect the payment to you at maturity — For certain corporate events affecting the basket equities, the calculation agent may make adjustments to the initial equity price of the affected basket equity. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the basket equities. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the Securities may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, all determinations and calculations concerning any such adjustments will be made by the calculation agent. You should be aware that the calculation agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from that discussed in this product supplement or the applicable pricing supplement as necessary to achieve an equitable result. Following a delisting or discontinuance of a basket equity, the amount you receive at maturity may be based on a share of another exchange traded

4

fund. The occurrence of these events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the Securities. For more information, see the section “General Terms of the Securities — Antidilution Adjustments” beginning on page PS-31 of the product supplement. Regardless of any of the events discussed above, any payment on the Securities is subject to the creditworthiness of UBS.

¨ The value of any basket equity may not completely track the value of the securities in which such exchange traded fund invests — Although the trading characteristics and valuations of any basket equity will usually mirror the characteristics and valuations of the securities in which such exchange traded fund invests, its value may not completely track the value of the securities in which that exchange traded fund invests. The value of any basket equity will reflect transaction costs and fees that the securities in which that exchange traded fund invests do not have. In addition, although a basket equity may be currently listed for trading on an exchange, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for such basket equity or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.

¨ Fluctuation of NAV — The net asset value (the “NAV”) of an exchange traded fund may fluctuate with changes in the market value of such exchange traded fund’s securities holdings. The market prices of the basket equities may fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV and supply and demand on the applicable stock exchanges. In addition, the market price of a basket equity may differ from its NAV per share; the basket equities may trade at, above or below their NAV per share.

¨ Failure of one or more basket equities to track the level of their applicable underlying indices — While each basket equity is designed and intended to track the level of its underlying index, various factors, including fees and other transaction costs, will prevent each basket equity from correlating exactly with changes in the level of such index. Accordingly, the performance of each basket equity will not be equal to the performance of its underlying index during the term of the Securities.

¨ The Securities are subject to currency exchange rate risk — The EFA Fund and the EEM Fund both invest in securities that are traded on non-U.S. markets; the trading price of the securities in which EFA Fund and EEM Fund invest generally will reflect the U.S. dollar value of those securities. Therefore, holders of the Securities will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to the currencies in which such securities trade. The values of the currencies of the countries in which the EFA Fund or EEM Fund may invest may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, the effects of monetary policies issued by the United States, foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, the imposition of currency controls or other national or global political or economic developments. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the non-U.S. currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each security in the portfolios of EFA Fund and EEM Fund. If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the non-U.S. currency, the value of the securities in which EFA Fund and EEM Fund invest will be adversely affected and the value of the Securities may decrease.

¨ The Securities are subject to non-U.S. securities market risk — The Securities are linked to an underlying basket which includes shares of the EFA Fund and EEM Fund and therefore, are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets. An investment in securities linked directly or indirectly to the value of securities issued by non-U.S. companies involves particular risks. Generally, non-U.S. securities markets may be more volatile than U.S. securities markets, and market developments may affect non-U.S. markets differently from U.S. securities 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. Securities 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 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. equity securities and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies. 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. Finally, it will likely be more costly and difficult to enforce the laws or regulations of a non-U.S. country or exchange.

¨ The Securities are subject to emerging markets risk — The Securities are linked to an underlying basket which includes shares of the EEM Fund and therefore, are subject to emerging markets risk. Investments in securities linked directly or indirectly to emerging market equity securities involve many risks, including, but not limited to: economic, social, political, financial and military conditions in the emerging market; regulation by national, provincial, and local governments; less liquidity and smaller market capitalizations than exist in the case of many large U.S. companies; different accounting and disclosure standards; and political uncertainties. Securities of emerging market companies may be more volatile and may be affected by market developments differently than U.S. companies. Government interventions to stabilize securities markets and cross-shareholdings may affect prices and volume of trading of the securities of emerging market companies. Economic, social, political, financial and military factors could, in turn, negatively affect such companies’ value. These factors could include changes in the emerging market government’s economic and fiscal policies, possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to the emerging market companies or investments in their securities, and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies. Moreover, emerging market economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in a variety of ways, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency. You should carefully consider the risks related to emerging markets, to which the Securities are susceptible, before making a decision to invest in the Securities.

5

¨ There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities — Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the Securities 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 Securities will develop. UBS Securities LLC and other affiliates of UBS may make a market in the Securities, although they are not required to do so and may stop making a market at any time. The price, if any, at which you may be able to sell your Securities prior to maturity could be at a substantial discount from the issue price and to the intrinsic value of the product; and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.

¨ Price prior to maturity — The market price of the Securities will be influenced by many unpredictable and interrelated factors, including the price of the basket equities; the volatility of the basket equities; the dividend rate paid on the basket equities; the time remaining to the maturity of the Securities; interest rates in the markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political and regulatory or judicial events; and the creditworthiness of UBS.

¨ Impact of fees on secondary market prices — Generally, the price of the Securities in the secondary market is likely to be lower than the initial public offering price since the issue price included, and the secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions, hedging costs or other compensation paid with respect to the Securities.

¨ Potential UBS impact on price — Trading or transactions by UBS or its affiliates in any of the basket equities and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with return linked to the performance of any basket equity, may adversely affect the value of the underlying basket and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.

¨ Potential conflict of interest — UBS and its affiliates may engage in business with the issuers of the basket equities, which may present a conflict between the obligations of UBS and you, as a holder of the Securities. The calculation agent, an affiliate of the issuer, will determine the basket return and payment at maturity based on the closing prices of the basket equities on the final valuation date. The calculation agent can postpone the determination of the basket return or the maturity date if a market disruption event occurs and is continuing on the final valuation date.

¨ Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by UBS — UBS and its affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding any offering of the Securities, and which may be revised at any time. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the value of the basket equities, and therefore the market value of the Securities.

¨ Dealer incentives — UBS and its affiliates act in various capacities with respect to the Securities. We and our affiliates may act as a principal, agent or dealer in connection with the sale of the Securities. Such affiliates, including the sales representatives, will derive compensation from the distribution of the Securities and such compensation may serve as an incentive to sell these Securities instead of other investments. We will pay total underwriting compensation of $0.35 per Security to any of our affiliates acting as agents or dealers in connection with the distribution of the Securities.

¨ Uncertain tax treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation. See “What Are the Tax Consequences of the Securities” on page 9.

Hypothetical Examples and Return Table of the Securities at Maturity

The examples and table below illustrate the Payment at Maturity for a $10.00 Security on a hypothetical offering of the Securities, with the following assumptions:

Investment Term: 5 years
Initial Basket Level: 100
Trigger Level: 50 (50% of Initial Basket Level)
Participation Rate: 134.82%
Range of Underlying Basket Performance: -100% to 100%

The examples are provided for illustrative purposes only and are purely hypothetical. The numbers in the examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

In calculating the basket return, increases in the price of one of the basket equities may be moderated, or offset, by lesser increases or declines in the price of the other basket equity. Since the EFA Fund is the more heavily weighted basket equity, it will have a larger impact on the basket return than the EEM Fund, which has a lesser weighting.

Example 1 — The basket return is 20%.

Since the basket return is positive, the payment at maturity per Security will be calculated as follows:

$10 + ($10 × 20% × 134.82%) = $12.70 per Security.

Example 2: The basket return is -20% and the final basket level is above the trigger level on the final valuation date.

Since the basket return is negative but the final basket level is above the trigger level of 50, UBS will repay the full principal amount and the payment at maturity is equal to $10.00 per Security (a zero percent return).

Example 3: The basket return is -60%, and therefore, the final basket level is below the trigger level on the final valuation date.

Since the basket return is negative and the final basket level is below the trigger level on the final valuation date, UBS will pay you less than the full principal amount of your Securities and your investment in the Securities is fully exposed to the decline of the underlying basket. In this example, the payment at maturity is calculated as follows:

$10 + ($10 × -60%) = $10 – $6 = $4 per Security (a 60% loss).

7

If the final basket level is below the trigger level on the final valuation date, your investment in the Securities is fully exposed to the decline of the underlying basket and you will lose some or all of your principal at maturity.

What Are the Tax Consequences of the Securities?

The United States federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Securities are uncertain. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion in “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations” on page PS-44 of the product supplement and discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Securities. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities, UBS and you agree, in the absence of a statutory, regulatory, administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your Securities as a pre-paid derivative contract with respect to the underlying basket. If your Securities are so treated, subject to the discussion below with respect to “constructive ownership” transactions and “PFICs” you should generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of your Securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Securities.

In the opinion of our counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, it would be reasonable to treat your Securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Securities, it is possible that your Securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes in the manner described under “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations — Alternative Treatments” on page PS-45 of the product supplement.

A “constructive ownership transaction” includes a contract under which an investor will receive payment equal to or credit for the future value of any equity interest in a regulated investment company (such as the shares of a basket equity). Under the “constructive ownership” rules, if an investment in securities is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction,” any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder (as defined under “Supplemental U.S. Tax Consideration” on page PS-44 of the product supplement) in respect of a security will be recharacterized as ordinary income to the extent such gain exceeds the amount of “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) of the U.S. holder (the “Excess Gain”). In addition, an interest charge will also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in gross income inclusion for the U.S. holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the sale, exchange or maturity of the security (assuming such income accrued such that the amount in each successive year is equal to the income in the prior year increased at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of sale, exchange or maturity of the security).

Although the matter is not clear, there exists a risk that an investment in Securities could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.” If such treatment applies, it is not entirely clear to what extent any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. holder in respect of a security will be recharacterized as ordinary income, in part because the Securities reflect only the change in value of the ETF shares in the underlying basket and not distributions made on ETFs in the underlying basket referenced by the Securities. Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rules.

We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of any basket equity or any stock constituting assets of any basket equity would be treated as a “passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”)” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. In the event that the issuer of any stock owned by one or more of the ETFs in the underlying basket were treated as a passive foreign investment company, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the possible consequences to you in the event that one or more issuers of stock is or become a passive foreign investment company.

In 2007, the Internal Revenue Service released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Securities. According to the notice, the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether the holder of an instrument such as the Securities should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis, and they are seeking taxpayer comments on the subject. 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 Securities will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether foreign 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 described above 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 Securities for United States federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Supplemental U.S. Tax Considerations” on page PS-44 of the product supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Moreover, in 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of Securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Securities despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Securities. It is not possible to predict whether a similar or identical bill will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Securities.

Recent Legislation

Beginning in 2013, U.S. holders that are individuals, estates, and certain trusts will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which may include any gain realized with respect to the Securities, to the extent of their net investment income that when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), or $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to their consequences with respect to the 3.8% Medicare tax.

Under recently enacted legislation, individuals (and to the extent provided in future regulations, entities) that own “specified foreign financial assets” may be required to file information with respect to such assets with their income tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to the application of this legislation to your ownership of the Securities.

Non-United States Holders. If you are not a United States holder, you will generally not be subject to United States withholding tax with respect to payments on your Securities or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your Securities if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your foreign status, including providing an IRS Form W-8BEN. Gain from the sale or exchange of a Security or settlement at maturity generally will not be subject to U.S. tax unless such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States or unless the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual and is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of such sale, exchange or settlement and certain other conditions are satisfied.

PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF THE SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES.

The iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund

We have derived all information regarding the iShares ® MSCI EAFE Index Fund (“EFA Fund”) contained in this pricing supplement from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to changes by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the investment manager of the EFA Fund. We make no representations or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information derived from these public sources.

The EFA Fund is one of the one-hundred and forty-five separate investment portfolios that constitute iShares Trust.

BFA has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of iShares Trust. The EFA Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE ® Index.

The EFA Fund uses a representative sampling strategy to try to track the MSCI EAFE ® Index. Representative sampling is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of the securities included in the MSCI EAFE ® Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the MSCI EAFE ® Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield), and liquidity measures similar to those of the MSCI EAFE ® Index. The EFA Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the MSCI EAFE ® Index.

The MSCI EAFE ® Index was developed by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”) and is calculated, maintained and published by MSCI. MSCI is under no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of the MSCI EAFE ® Index at any time.

As of November 22, 2011, ordinary operating expenses of the EFA Fund are expected to accrue at an annual rate of 0.35% of the EFA Fund’s daily net asset value. Expenses of the EFA Fund reduce the net value of the assets held by the EFA Fund and, therefore, reduce the value of the shares of EFA Fund.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)

We have agreed to sell to UBS Financial Services Inc. and certain of its affiliates, together the “Agents”, and the Agents have agreed to purchase, all of the Securities at the issue price less the underwriting discount indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement, the document filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) containing the final pricing terms of the Securities.

We or one of our affiliates may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Securities and UBS or its affiliates may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions.

Conflicts of Interest — Each of UBS Securities LLC and UBS Financial Services Inc. is an affiliate of UBS and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, UBS will receive the net proceeds (excluding the underwriting discount) from the initial public offering of the Securities, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering is being conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. Neither UBS Securities LLC nor UBS Financial Services Inc. is permitted to sell Securities in the offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.

Structured Product Categorization

To help investors identify appropriate structured products, UBS organizes its structured products, including the securities offered hereby, into four categories: Protection Strategies, Optimization Strategies, Performance Strategies and Leverage Strategies. The Securities are classified by UBS as an Performance Strategy for this purpose. The description below is intended to describe generally the four categories of structured products and the types of principal repayment features, if any, which may be offered on those products. This description should not be relied upon as a description of any particular structured product.

¨ Protection Strategies are structured to complement and provide the potential to outperform traditional fixed income instruments. These structured products are generally designed for investors with low to moderate risk tolerances.

¨ Optimization Strategies provide the opportunity to enhance market returns or yields and can be structured with full downside market exposure or with buffered or contingent downside market exposure. These structured products are generally designed for investors who can tolerate downside market risk

¨ Performance Strategies provide efficient access to markets and can be structured with full downside market exposure or with buffered or contingent downside market exposure. These structured products are generally designed for investors who can tolerate downside market risk.

¨ Leverage Strategies provide leveraged exposure to the performance of an underlying asset. These structured products are generally designed for investors with high risk tolerances.

In order to benefit from any type of limited market exposure, investors must hold the security to maturity.

Classification of Structured Products into categories is for informational purposes only andis not intended to guarantee particular results or performance.
