This report has been prepared by UBS Financial Services Inc. (UBS FS). Analyst certification and required disclosures begin on page 16.UBS does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should beaware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors shouldconsider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision.

Large Cap Core model portfolio Starting with this report, CIO will begin publishing the Large Cap Core (LCC) model portfolio. This realignment under the CIO brand integrates the strategy into a broader suite of equity model portfolios within the size and style equity allocations recommended in the CIO House View. UBS Investment Management originated the Large Cap Core model portfolio in 2005, and had managed the strategy with a bias towards large, domestic companies deemed to possess competitive advantages and led by management teams with successful track records. Going forward, CIO assumes responsibility for the management and publication of the model portfolio, and evaluates a variety of factors when considering changes. In order to reflect the breadth of intellectual capital at UBS, CIO will include input from the UBS Equity Advisory Group, headed by Rob Romano, in the investment process. Key tenets of the US LCC investment philosophy The philosophy behind the Large Cap Core model portfolio is to identify large, domestic companies that we see as having established and durable competitive advantages that can be used to defend against competition and drive high returns on capital over time. Financial health, attractive valuation and quality of management are also key considerations. Success in identifying these structural competitive advantages should result in low portfolio turnover and allow investor capital to continue compounding in portfolio companies, while minimizing the potential performance dilution that can result from taxes and excessive trading. For example, average annual turnover for the LCC model portfolio has been just 10% over the past seven years (Fig. 4). Sources of competitive advantages We expect companies that possess durable competitive advantages to earn high returns on capital and create value for shareholders. Competitive advantages come in many forms. Some that we look for include:

• High switching costs, which are the economic impediments – measured in cost, time, or risk to a business – that customers face when they consider switching suppliers. American Tower is a prime example, as the costs for a wireless service provider to remove network antennae and fiber optic cables from American's towers and reinstall them onto competitors' towers often outweigh the potential benefits. Similarly, non-transferrable content and synchronized user continuity across multiple devices can discourage users of Apple's iOS and Alphabet's Android ecosystems from leaving. Both examples result in customer lock-In and lower churn.

• Network effects occur when additional users of a product

or service increase its value to others. Visa's payment processing networks benefit as more merchants accept its cards, because wider merchant acceptance drives increased spending on Visa cards. Greater spending on Visa cards in turn drives even wider merchant acceptance rates. This positive feedback loop can be a powerful growth driver.

• Valuable intangible assets are the brands, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and industry regulation that can keep competition at bay. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Starbucks and Disney all invest heavily in their brands, and consumers are willing to pay a premium for their products despite cheaper alternatives in the marketplace. Celgene's biopharmaceuticals and Medtronic's medical devices are protected by patents and require marketing approvals from government health agencies before going to market; both restrict competition and support higher prices.

• Economies of scale are the cost advantages companies create when the sheer volume of output drives down the cost of producing each individual product. Intel incurs significant costs to build and run semiconductor fabrication plants; these costs are more easily absorbed when its chips are mass produced. Similarly, Amazon's distribution capabilities are virtually unmatched in retail, and its ability to move merchandise cheaply and quickly is difficult and costly for competitors to match.

How is the model portfolio constructed? Candidates should have at least one identifiable competitive advantage to merit inclusion in the model portfolio. Fundamental research will be the primary input in identifying candidates, leveraging the expertise of the CIO equity sector strategy team. A proprietary CIO quantitative scoring tool will also be used to both help identify potential candidates and monitor existing positions in the portfolio. Individual position sizing will reflect the conviction of CIO sector and portfolio strategists, as well as the potential risk, return and other benefits a holding may contribute to the overall portfolio. Portfolio Parameters

• Number of stocks: 20-50 • Target minimum position size 1%; maximum 10% (or

5% above benchmark weight, whichever is higher)

• Minimum market capitalization of at least USD 2.5bn

• Minimum number of S&P sectors included in portfolio (for diversification): 6

• Maximum sector tilts: +/- 15% above sector weight in benchmark

• Maximum allocation to American Depository Receipts (ADRs) of 15%

• Cash allocation between 1-10%, with a 2% target Published portfolio weights are dynamic and will reflect the "drift" that results from the compounding of individual stock returns and the reinvestment of dividends.

• Our performance calculations will reflect these changes as of closing prices on Wednesday, 5 June 2019.

Adding Ameriprise Financial Ameriprise offers financial products and services aimed at the mass affluent and affluent market segments. Half of the company's operating profit is generated by its Advice & Wealth Management unit, with the remainder split between its Asset Management, Annuities and Protection segments. We find Ameriprise attractive for the sticky bonds it forms with customers of its Advice & Wealth and Asset Management units. Relationships with financial advisors, detailed financial planning and proprietary investment and insurance products can be strong deterrents for customers to switch firms. CIO's Brad Ball has written favorably of Ameriprise's strategic reorientation to generate a greater portion of earnings from the less capital-intensive asset and wealth management businesses. These actions should improve profitability and release excess capital that can be returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. At less than 9x forward earnings estimates, we believe Ameriprise shares are attractively valued. Adding UnitedHealth Group UnitedHealth Group is the largest managed care organization in the US. Its primary business segment is UnitedHealthcare, which generates approximately two-thirds of company revenues by providing health benefits to millions of consumers enrolled in its Federal, state, private and individual insurance plans. The remainder is generated by its Optum health services segment, which includes the company's OptumRx pharmacy benefit manager, OptumHealth ambulatory care network, and OptumInsight healthcare data analytics arm. UnitedHealth occupies what is likely the most competitively-advantaged position within the healthcare services industry. The company has built a market-leading membership base, which it leverages to negotiate lower reimbursement terms paid to third-party hospitals, physicians and pharmacies. United has also consolidated large segments of the healthcare services

value chain (OptumRx pharmacy benefits, OptumHealth patient clinics) that provide its members with cheaper in-network options while giving the company greater control over its medical costs. UnitedHealth's steady revenue growth has been driven by two favorable tailwinds: healthy US employment gains adding to United's membership, and Baby Boomers aging onto the Medicare health insurance program. Profit margins have benefitted from management's containment of medical costs. These combined trends have driven consistent free cash flow generation for years, which management has returned to shareholders with steady dividend increases and share repurchases. UNH shares have returned -4.7% in 2019 compared to the 10.4% gain in the S&P 500 as healthcare stocks – and particularly managed care organizations – have suffered from healthcare policy uncertainty. Heated political rhetoric ahead of the 2020 US Presidential Election could remain a persistent headwind into next year. However, we believe that any changes to the US healthcare system are more likely to be incremental, and that UnitedHealth will continue to play a leading role given its scope, scale and cost advantages. Adding Exelon Exelon is an integrated power utility generating the majority of its operating profits from its six regulated utilities that deliver electricity and natural gas to ten million customers in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. The remainder is produced by its unregulated power generation unit. CIO sector strategist Jay Dobson expects shares to benefit from management's efforts to refocus the company on lower-risk opportunities by harvesting cash flows from its wholesale nuclear fleet and reinvesting into regulated utility operations. This strategy should lead to a more predictable growth profile going forward. Additionally, management has adeptly convinced regulators in Illinois, New York and New Jersey to support its nuclear assets in these states, winning zero emission credits that extended the economic lives of these plants. While Exelon's leverage is somewhat elevated, a byproduct of the debt-financed acquisition of Pepco Holdings in 2016, management should be able to pay down debt while growing the dividend at a 5% rate through 2020. Adding Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin is a leading global defense and aerospace contractor deriving the majority of its revenues and operating profit from the US government. Aeronautics is the largest business segment by revenue and operating profit, responsible for the development and production of F-35, F-22 and F-16 fighters. Rotary & Mission Systems, which acquired Sikorsky helicopters from United Technologies, designs and manufactures mission and combat systems for ships,

submarines and aircraft. Space (satellites, space transportation services) and Missile and Fire Control (air and missile defense systems) comprise the remainder of the business. Lockheed stands out for its potent and diversified mix of military programs that ensure it will remain a key supplier to the US Department of Defense for years to come. The institutional know-how it has amassed from decades of classified military design and contracting work, the ramping cost efficiencies of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, and the large installed base of planes and helicopters that generate aftermarket service contracts make Lockheed a formidable company to displace. Lockheed's revenue and profit growth in recent years reflect increased US defense spending and ramping production of the F-35 stealth fighter. We expect profits to grow at low double-digit rate, driven by the F-35 and a greater contribution from high margin service contracts. Lockheed has generated positive annual free cash flow for over two decades, which management has used to fund steadily growing dividends and large share repurchases. Lockheed currently trades at 15.4x forward consensus earnings, a 1-standard deviation discount to the 18.3x average forward P/E over the prior five years. Increasing Alphabet and Intercontinental Exchange Alphabet remains the dominant player in online and mobile search and advertising, and continues to report attractive double-digit revenue and earnings growth despite its considerable size. The competitive advantages derived from its massive user base and data-driven search results appear intact, while the risk/reward is more attractive following a -19.8% selloff in its shares. Alphabet was recently featured in the "Pricing Power Standouts" report authored CIO Thematic Research Americas' head Laura Kane, which highlighted companies with dominant market shares and stable profit margins. Intercontinental Exchange is a leading operator of physical and electronic securities exchanges. Its pivot to selling market data, marked by the 2015 acquisition of Interactive Data, has provided the company with an additional source of revenue that is proving to be smoother and faster-growing than the volume-driven revenues from its exchanges. CIO sector strategist Brad Ball added Intercontinental Exchange to his Most Preferred list earlier this year, citing the company's potential to capitalize on increasing investor demand for risk-management solutions and its more stable earnings compared to other financial stocks. Removing iShares MSCI Momentum ETF (MTUM), Van Eck Vector Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (MOAT), Allergan (AGN), McKesson (MCK), and General Motors (GM)

As part of the transition to CIO, we will no longer include ETFs in the Large Cap Core model portfolio. Additionally, we have exited Allergan, McKesson and General Motors in an effort to reallocate towards higher quality companies. We see UnitedHealth as better positioned than Allergan and McKesson to withstand whatever changes await the healthcare industry. Finally, while encouraged by General Motors' efforts in autonomous vehicles, we retain exposure to this thematic through our Intel and Alphabet positions, whose MobileEye and Waymo units are potential beneficiaries of this emerging trend.

Large Cap Core Investment thesis table – part 1 Name Sector Investment Thesis

AlphabetCommunication

Services

Dominant internet search market share drives above-average profitability. Shift of advertising from

traditional to online media supports Google's strong growth outlook. The percent of consumer time

devoted to the Internet is higher than the percent of advertising dollars that have migrated online,

suggesting many more years of solid growth ahead. We view valuation as reasonable for estimated high-

teens EPS growth over the next 3-5 years.

AT&TCommunication

Services

We see multiple growth drivers ahead for AT&T, including reaping benefits from the recently acquired

Time Warner business and building out its 5G capabilities. The company generates strong free cash flow,

which it plans to use to de-lever its balance sheet. Steady dividend growth underpins an attractive

dividend yield.

ComcastCommunication

Services

Market-leading broadband infrastructure drives solid pricing power and high, stable profitability. Well-

positioned to drive growth on the back of continued housing market gains, market share gains in

commercial services, and innovative X1 platform which mitigates risk of video subscriber losses. We view

the forward P/E of 14x as fair given defensive cash flows, solid growth prospects, and shareholder friendly

management.

Walt DisneyCommunication

Services

Consistent growth and high quality is underpinned by a deep bench of world class content. Disney's

acquisition of Fox's Film and TV studio will make its media library even more compelling. In our view,

Disney has perfected the art of leveraging content across multiple entertainment platforms (Studio, Parks,

Consumer Products). Cable network subscribers are beginning to shrink but the company should be able

to monetize its content through its various direct-to-consumer streaming services.

Amazon.comConsumer

Discretionary

With e-commerce representing just 10% of total retail sales in the US, Amazon stands to grow wallet

share as the shift to online buying continues. The company also has one of the leading cloud computing

platforms (AWS), which should continue to grow given the secular migration from traditional on-premise

data systems to cloud computing. The company's shift in focus from hyper growth to a blend of growth

and profitability makes the earnings trajectory, and thus valuations, more attractive.

StarbucksConsumer

Discretionary

Dominant coffee company, generating consistent revenue and profit growth driven by new store

openings, increased same-store sales, and operating efficiencies. Menu innovation, alternative store

formats, Starbucks Rewards and Mobile Order and Pay have resonated with customers and improved per-

store productivity. Strong free cash flow generation funds increased dividends and share repurchases.

Yum! BrandsConsumer

Discretionary

World's largest quick service restaurant system, with over 48,000 KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut locations

worldwide. Consistent growth driven by a combination of low-single digit growth in units and same-store

sales. Management's decision to refranchise the majority of its store base decreased capital intensity,

drove steadier cash flows, and freed up capital for increased dividends and share repurchases.

Coca-ColaConsumer

Staples

A more disciplined pricing strategy, shift towards healthier drinks, and restructured relationships with

bottlers should drive a rebound in EPS growth.

PepsiCoConsumer

Staples

Pepsi has generated consistent sales and profit growth historically, driven by its balanced geographic and

category diversification. It's crown jewel has been the Frito Lay business, which has benefited from

product innovation and strong demand for snack foods globally. New CEO focused on investing back into

the business to drive more innovation and take market share.

Chevron Energy

Our expectations for rising production and declining capital spending needs support Chevron's earnings

and dividend growth prospects. The company has an attractive balance sheet and generates solid free

cash flow.

Schlumberger Energy

Schlumberger is the leading diversified oilfield service provider. The company has consistently been at the

forefront of technological innovation, and has utilized its scale and effective cost management initiatives

to drive industry-leading margins.

Ameriprise

FinancialFinancials

Financial planning and services firm focused on affluent investors. High switching costs contribute to stable

asset base. Management is reorienting the company to less capital-intensive asset and wealth

management units, freeing up capital for acquisitions, dividend increases and share repurchases.

BlackRock Financials

Largest investment manager in the world with USD 6.5tn under management as of Q1 2019, and a key

beneficiary of investor demand for low-cost passive investment products. Heavy skew towards

institutional clients makes for a more stable base of assets under management. Despite intense pressure

on investment advisory fees, Blackrock has produced consistent free cash flow which management has

liberally returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Inter-

continental

Exchange

Financials

An increasingly diverse product mix should augment Intercontinental Exchange's continued financial

market innovations and client's hedging needs. Market share gains have boosted the company's futures

volumes. Recent push into offering data services is gaining traction with customers and could drive

valuation expansion.

JPMorgan

ChaseFinancials

Largest US-based bank with strong competitive positions in investment banking, retail and commercial

banking, asset management, credit cards, and mortgage lending. Broad product and service offerings

foster deep client relationships and low client acquisition costs. Significant fee revenues lessens interest

rate sensitivity. Economies of scale drive operating leverage. Respected management team is delivering

solid results with significant capital returns to shareholders.

Travelers Financials

Travelers is one of the most disciplined property and casualty insurers given their conservative

underwriting practices and attractive loss ratios. The company has done a nice job generating some

pricing in its international commercial lines business to offset stagnant growth in the U.S.

Celgene Healthcare

Biopharmaceutical focused on oncology and auto-immune disease treatment. The company has a solid

late-stage pipeline. In January 2019, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced it would acquire Celgene, and the

deal is expected to close by the third quarter of 2019. This deal would bring together two strong oncology

portfolios.

Gilead

SciencesHealthcare

Biopharmaceutical focused on HIV, auto-immune and cancer indications. After years of sharp revenue

declines following share loss in its Hepatitis C franchise, the company looks to be turning the corner, driven

by next-generation HIV treatments, oncology assets and high-profile auto-immune segment. The

company's new CEO could look to pursue additional avenues of growth.

Medtronic Healthcare

Diversified medical technology company with exposure to major growth segments (cardiac, diabetes,

neurological, spinal). Continued expansion into emerging markets and synergies from Covidien merger

bolsters the growth outlook, in our view.

Merck Healthcare

Global leader in oncology, vaccines and animal healthcare products. Its human health division is the key

revenue and profit driver, with rapidly growing cancer and diabetes treatments. Lead drug Keytruda has

proven to be a dominant next-generation treatment for a variety of cancers. The company has steadily

increased its dividend over the years.

Thermo Fisher

ScientificHealthcare

One of the largest and most diversified providers of life sciences tools, Thermo Fisher has the breadth and

depth to generate consistent revenue growth. Superior capital allocation, consistent double-digit earnings

growth, improving return on equity and reasonable valuation suggest a favorable outlook. Strong

management team with a very good track record.

UnitedHealth

GroupHealthcare

UnitedHealth is the largest and most diversified managed care organization, with significant exposure to

the high-growth Medicare and Medicaid insurance markets. Aging US demographics should drive

continued managed care adoption, and in turn, support earnings growth. The company's healthcare

services segment (pharmacy benefits manager, healthcare IT, and consulting services) give the company

further scale.

3M Industrials

Diversified manufacturer of industrial products. Its consistently high levels of spending on research and

development drives innovation and product vitality, which in turn underpins its profitability. Stepped-up

dividend growth driving an attractive yield.

Boeing Industrials

Air travel traffic should continue to grow faster than global economic growth driven by the rising affluent

in emerging markets. An aging global airplane fleet will likely prompt a replacement cycle over the next

several years, enhancing the growth outlook over the next decade. The limited number of commercial

aerospace manufacturers gives us confidence that Boeing will retain its high market share. Despite the

tragic 737 MAX crashes, we don't believe the aircraft is fundamental flawed.

Lockheed

MartinIndustrials

Ramping production of its fighter jets (the F-35), robust demand for missiles and missile defense,

opportunities for Sikorsky helicopters, combined with growth in defense spending in the US and abroad

should generate attractive earnings and dividend growth. Non-US sales are becoming an increasingly

important revenue driver and now account for nearly 30% of revenues.

United

TechnologiesIndustrials

UTX's aerospace units are benefitting from robust end market demand, growth in the emerging market

middle class, and investments in new jet engine technology. The company's Carrier (climate control

systems) and Otis (elevators) units are benefitting from continued urbanization in emerging markets and a

cyclical pickup in developed market construction activity. Management plans to spin out the Otis and

Carrier units in early 2020, which could unlock value for shareholders.

AdobeInformation

Technology

Adobe has a dominant position in software for digital content creation and has expanded into digital

marketing campaign management. These two businesses should continue to enjoy solid growth as

content and advertising dollars continue to migrate to the web. Adobe was also an early adopter of cloud

and subscription-based business models, increasing the lifetime value of a customer and driving more

stable cash flows.

AppleInformation

Technology

While the smartphone category has matured, Apple has one of the most valuable smartphone user bases

in the world with high brand loyalty, driving high returns on capital. Apple is leveraging this consumer trust

into ancillary products (Watch, AirPods) and services (music). Aggressive return of capital and reasonable

valuations (forward P/E less than the S&P 500) enhance the outlook.

Cisco SystemsInformation

Technology

Industry-leading maker of networking equipment used to transport data across enterprise networks and

around the world. Cisco has made progress on ramping up its software and security offerings, both in

response to emerging competitive threats from software-defined networking and as way to generate

recurring revenue through subscriptions. Very steady dividend growth in recent years.

IntelInformation

Technology

Dominant position in PC and server processor chips driven by Industry-leading transistor and

manufacturing technology. Benefiting from strong data center demand (55% of profit) driven by solid

enterprise spending and new compute intensive applications such as artificial intelligence. New CEO could

potentially unlock value by rationalizing underperforming segments

MicrosoftInformation

Technology

Company continues to benefit from its pivot to a recurring revenue model (Office suite) and a focus on

cloud computing. Our expectations for continued gains in corporate hiring and enterprise investment

should drive continued growth.

sales-

force.com

Information

Technology

Salesforce.com offers cloud-based solutions for companies in mission critical areas of customer

relationship management, customer service, and marketing. Best-of-breed offerings are difficult for

competitors to replicate, and disruptive to leave once a company adopts the platform. Increased

functionality and integration of clouds are expanding use cases and driving network effects.

VisaInformation

Technology

Favorable outlook is underpinned by 40% market share in credit and debit cards, which should see at least

5-10 more years of attractive growth as transactions continue to migrate from cash and checks, especially

as digital and mobile continue to grow. Near ubiquitous acceptance of Visa makes it difficult for

competitors to make inroads. The acquisition of Visa Europe bolsters the outlook through better pricing in

the region and a longer runway of volume growth (penetration is <40% outside the US).

American

TowerReal Estate

One of the largest owner/operators of communications towers in the world. Strong and consistent growth

is underpinned by secular wireless data demand growth, attractive tower locations, difficulty siting new

towers, long-term contracts, and overseas expansion opportunities. In the near-term, growth should be

well-supported as US wireless operators begin to build out 5G networks.

Exelon UtilitiesIntegrated utility reinvesting cash flows from its low-cost wholesale nuclear power operations back into its

lower-risk regulated utilities. Improving cash flows driving debt repayment and steady dividend growth.

Large Cap Core Model Portfolio

11

Appendix Description and Methodology The CIO Large Cap Core equity model portfolio consists of large cap U.S. domiciled stocks and foreign ADRs traded on a US exchange that meet the following criteria: • Sustainable competitive advantages: We seek to identify companies that have achieved competitive advantages

through cost and/or differentiation strategies versus rivals. Network effects, economies of scale, brands, patents, industry regulation, institutional knowledge and high switching costs are potential sources of competitive advantage. We expect companies that have achieved competitive advantages to earn higher returns on capital over time.

• Higher quality: We screen for companies with low net debt/EBITDA multiples, low operating margin volatility, and high returns on equity, relative to peers and the broader market.

• Attractive valuation: EPS and free cash flow yields are primary metrics for consideration, although complementary or industry-specific measures (dividend yield, price-to-book) may also be considered.

• Management quality: A qualitative assessment of management's record of capital allocation (strategic use of mergers and acquisitions, dividend policies, share repurchase programs, etc.), as well as the alignment of management's interests with those of shareholders.

CIO considers a variety of factors when making decisions to change or update the model portfolio. In order to reflect the breadth of intellectual capital at UBS, one of those inputs is provided by a committee comprised of individuals from the UBS Equity Advisory Group. That committee provides individual security ideas for consideration by CIO in the portfolio management process. Ideas are vetted within CIO and ultimately CIO has sole discretion over, and is solely responsible for, the management of the model portfolio including any changes to the constituents and their weights. As such, CIO may implement some, all, or none of the suggested ideas or may supplement them at its discretion. Note: Stocks are eligible for inclusion in the model portfolio if they: • are on a Most Preferred or Bellwether* List from CIO, or • have a 12-month Buy or Neutral rating from UBS Global Research, or • have an S&P Quality Ranking of B+ or higher, or • have a favorable consensus rating of at least three Buy or Buy/Hold opinions based on analyst ratings submitted

to Thomson Reuters. If there are any Sell or Sell/Hold ratings, the number of Buy or Buy/Hold ratings must be greater than or equal to the number of Sell or Sell/Hold ratings.

UBS Global Research is a part of UBS Investment Bank (the UBS business group that includes, among others, UBS Securities LLC). *Bellwether-rated stocks are covered by CIO GWM but the view is not distributed outside the US. See CIO Global Wealth Management equity selection system in the Appendix for more information. This model portfolio does not take into consideration the personal circumstances, financial situation, investment horizon or individual loss capacity of the client and, hence, is not to be seen as providing comprehensive investment advice. Therefore, it should only be viewed as part of a potential solution for clients.

Large Cap Core Model Portfolio

12

Performance calculation methodology From the inception of the "Large Cap Core" model portfolio on 14 November 2005 to 3 June 2019, the Large Cap Core model was published by UBS Investment Product and Services (IPS) Investment Management. From 14 November 2005 through 5 June 2019, the performance of the Large Cap Core model was based on an active-weighted portfolio. For performance tracking purposes, the portfolio's performance reflected the portfolio changes and closing prices one trading day prior to the published reports (unless noted otherwise). Beginning 6 June 2019, the performance calculations reflect the closing prices of all portfolio constituents rebalanced to the published weights on the effective date, or two trading dates after changes are announced (unless noted otherwise). The performance published in this report is based on capital appreciation plus dividends and does not include transaction costs such as commissions, investment management fees, margin interest, and interest charges. Actual performance adjusted for such transaction costs will result in reduced total returns. Returns may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. A complete record of all the recommendations upon which the report is based is available from UBS Financial Services Inc. upon written request. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Treatment of companies on the Firm’s Restricted List Securities included on the Firm’s Restricted List (explained in more detail below) are annotated as such with an asterisk, but have been left on their respective US Equity Model Portfolio for performance tracking purposes only. At the time the security was added to the US Equity Model Portfolio, and until the time it was added to the Restricted List, it met the CIO criteria for inclusion described above. However, while it is on the Restricted List, the Firm and authors of this publication are prohibited from expressing their ongoing view of the security. As a matter of course, this should neither be necessarily construed positively or negatively, or as a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the security. The security remains on the US Equity Model Portfolio until such time that the security is removed from the Restricted List, at which time the analyst will either re-affirm his/her ongoing inclusion on the US Equity Model Portfolio or remove it in accordance with the normal rules for changes to the list outlined above when other stocks are judged to offer more attractive risk/reward tradeoffs. The Firm’s Restricted List The principal reasons that issuers are included on the Firm’s Research Restricted list are that one or more legal entities within the UBS group are involved as an advisor and/or underwriter in a publicly announced corporate transaction. Dependent on relevant security regulations/laws, firm policy, the management of conflicts of interest and to avoid the appearance of impropriety, there may be a requirement for all or a combination of the following: restrictions on the publication of new research, suspensions of research ratings and forecasts, prohibitions on making recommendations to clients, restrictions on placing securities into discretionary accounts and prohibitions on proprietary and/or personal account trading in respect of names on the list.

UBS CIO WM equity selection system (for US sector Equity Preferences)US equity sector strategists provide two equity selections: Most Preferred (MP) and Least Preferred (LP).Most Preferred*

We expect the stock to outperform the benchmark in the next 12 months.Least Preferred*We expect the stock to underperform the benchmark in the next 12 months.*A stock cannot be selected as Most Preferred if UBS Research rates it a Sell, while a UBS Research Buy rated stockcannot be selected as Least Preferred.Restricted: Issuing of research on a company by CIO GWM can be restricted due to legal, regulatory, contractual orbest business practice obligations which are normally caused by UBS Investment Bank’s involvement in an investmentbanking transaction in regard to the concerned company.Equity selection: An assessment relative to a benchmarkEquity selections in Equity Preferences lists (EPLs) are relative assessments versus a sector/industry, country/regional orthematic benchmark. The chosen benchmark is disclosed on the front page of each EPL.Stocks can be selected for several EPLs. To keep consistency, a stock can only be selected as either Most Preferredor Least Preferred, but not both simultaneously. As benchmarks differ between lists, stocks need not be included onevery list to which they could theoretically be added.The country EPL is a list of Most Preferred recommended stocks that our US Equity Sector Strategy team feels are bestpositioned within their respective sector coverage to outperform their respective sector benchmark over a 12-monthinvestment horizon. These selections should not be viewed as a portfolio as they represent a current snapshot of ourviews. In the event that a recommended stock is no longer Most Preferred, the list will be updated in the next monthlypublication. As such, these recommendations are only valid as of the date of the report and performance for this listwill not be calculated.

The returns on a portfolio consistingprimarily of ESG or sustainable investments may be lower than a portfolio where such factors are not considered by the portfolio manager.Because sustainability criteria can exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities ormarket trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Companies may not necessarily meet high performance standards on all aspectsof ESG or sustainable investing issues; there is also no guarantee that any company will meet expectations in connection with corporateresponsibility, sustainability, and/or impact performance.Distributed to US persons by UBS Financial Services Inc. or UBS Securities LLC, subsidiaries of UBS AG.
