As a consequence research methodologies applied and assumptions made by UBS WMR and UBS Investment Research may differ, for example, in terms of investment horizon, model assumptions, and valuation methods. Therefore investment recommendations independently provided by the two UBS research organizations can be different. The analyst(s) responsible for the preparation of this report may interact with trading desk personnel, sales personnel and other constituencies for the purpose of gathering, synthesizing and interpreting market information. The compensation of the analyst(s) who prepared this report is determined exclusively by research management and senior management (not including investment banking). Analyst compensation is not based on investment banking revenues, however, compensation may relate to the revenues of UBS Global Wealth Management and Business Banking as a whole, of which investment banking, sales and trading are a part. At any time UBS AG, its subsidiaries and affiliates (or employees thereof) may make investment decisions that are inconsistent with the opinions expressed in this publication, may have a long or short positions in or act as principal or agent in, the securities (or derivatives thereof) of an issuer identified in this publication, or provide advisory or other services to the issuer or to a company connected with an issuer. Some investments may not be readily realisable since the market in the securities is illiquid and therefore valuing the investment and identifying the risk to which you are exposed may be difficult to quantify. UBS relies on information barriers to control the flow of information contained in one or more areas within UBS, into other areas, units, groups or affiliates of UBS. Some investments may be subject to sudden and large falls in value and on realisation you may receive back less than you invested or may be required to pay more. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have an adverse effect on the price, value or income of an investment. Past performance of an investment is not a guide to its future performance.
