2016 Money Market Platform Timeline and review of fund changes UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and its affiliates/predecessors have managed money market funds for more than 35 years and offer client-focused solutions throughout the world. In an effort to best address its clients' needs in an era of evolving regulatory reform and industry changes, we are making changes to our money market fund platform, including the launch of new products. We intend to implement these changes over the course of the next several months and conclude them within the Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) compliance period, which extends until October 14, 2016. In this update we provide a timeline and review of the changes. Highlights of the changes to UBS AM's money market fund platform include: The UBS Select Prime Funds, with a largely institutional ('non-natural persons') shareholder base, will adopt floating net asset value (FNAV) pricing by an October 2016 regulatory compliance deadline. The UBS Prime Funds, a recently launched retail money market family of funds, will accept investments from retail investors ('natural persons') and seek to maintain a constant net asset value (CNAV) per share of $1.00. The UBS Select Tax-Free Funds intend to qualify as 'retail money market funds' and will also undergo a name change later in 2016. The UBS Select Treasury Funds affirmed their intention, announced in June 2015, to qualify as 'government money market funds' so that they can continue to seek to maintain a CNAV per share of $1.00 once the regulatory changes become fully effective in October 2016. The UBS Select Government Funds*, a new suite of government money market funds will be launched in 2016 to complement the existing UBS Select Treasury Funds. These new funds will accept investments from all investors ('natural' and 'non-natural persons') and seek to maintain a CNAV per share of $1.00. The UBS Investor Series will reduce the initial minimum investment requirement from $100,000 to $10,000. UBS AM's sweep money market funds, available via UBS Financial Services' automatic cash 'sweep platform,' will undergo changes later in 2016. Some funds may no longer be offered on cash sweep platforms, and shareholders may be transitioned to alternate money market fund products. * The UBS Select Government Funds are currently in the process of being registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The information regarding the UBS Select Government Funds in their prospectuses and herein is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell those securities until the registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This document is not an offer to sell those securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy shares of the UBS Select Government Funds in any jurisdictions where the offer or sale is not permitted.

UBS Select Treasury Funds UBS AM previously announced changes to its UBS Select Treasury Funds in June 2015, affirming that the funds intend to qualify as 'government money market funds' under the SEC's amended rules. The funds will continue to invest in US Treasury securities and related repurchase agreements. Under the SEC's amended rules, these Treasury funds may maintain a CNAV per share of $1.00 and will not be subject to fees and/or gates unless their board determines to provide advance notice to shareholders of a change in this policy. The funds will continue to be available as investment options to both natural persons and non-natural persons.

UBS Cash Sweep Platform Changes To comply with the SEC's amended rules as well as to streamline investment options for fund shareholders, UBS AM expects to makes changes to its current menu of money market funds available via UBS Financial Services' automatic "cash sweep platform." Some funds may no longer be offered on cash sweep platforms, and investors may be transitioned to alternate money market sweep products. Shareholders will receive separate communications with specific fund changes later in 2016.
