[Form 4] Lithium Americas Corp. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

UBS AG is offering $2.001 million of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes that mature on 14 July 2027. The notes are linked to the least-performing of two underlying assets: (1) the common stock of NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE) and (2) the S&P 500® Index (SPX).

Key economic terms

• Issue price: $1,000 per note; CUSIP 90309KDF8
• Contingent coupon rate: 8.85 % p.a. (monthly $7.375 if payable)
• Coupon barrier: 55 % of each initial level
    • NEE $40.51
    • SPX 3,444.79
• Automatic call: monthly observations beginning after 14 months; callable when each underlying ≥ 100 % of its initial level
• Downside threshold (55 % of initial level): identical to coupon barrier
• Initial levels (strike date 9-Jul-2025): NEE $73.65; SPX 6,263.26
• Estimated initial value: $979.70 (reflects underwriting discount $4.00 and internal funding adjustments)

Payment mechanics

• Coupons: Paid only if both underlyings close ≥ their respective coupon barriers on an observation date. If any underlying is below its barrier, the coupon for that month is forfeited.
• Automatic call: If both underlyings close ≥ their call thresholds (100 % of initial level) on any observation date after month 14, investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate early.
• Maturity: • If no call and both underlyings ≥ downside thresholds, principal is repaid.
  • If no call and any underlying < downside threshold, redemption amount = principal × (1 + return of worst-performing asset). Investors may lose up to 100 % of principal.

Risk highlights

• Full downside exposure: If either underlying falls > 45 % from its initial level at final valuation, repayment is proportionally reduced.
• Credit risk: All payments depend on the senior unsecured credit of UBS AG; the notes are not FDIC-insured.
• Liquidity: The notes will not be listed; secondary market making is discretionary and may reflect significant bid-ask spreads.
• Valuation gap: Issue price exceeds estimated initial value by $20.30 per note due to fees and hedging costs.

Timeline

• Strike: 9-Jul-2025  |  Trade: 10-Jul-2025  |  Settle: 15-Jul-2025 (T+3)
• Monthly observation dates through 9-Jul-2027
• Maturity / final payment: 14-Jul-2027

Offering details

• Total proceeds to UBS: $1,992,996; underwriting discount: $8,004
• Dealer: UBS Securities LLC, with re-allowance to third-party dealers

Suitability: Product targets investors who (i) can tolerate loss of principal, (ii) seek high conditional income, (iii) are comfortable with performance of both NEE and the S&P 500, and (iv) understand that coupons are not guaranteed and that early redemption may occur.

Positive

• 8.85 % contingent coupon offers above-market conditional income if both underlyings stay above 55 % of initial levels.
• Automatic call at 100 % of initial level can return principal plus coupon after 14 months, shortening duration in stable or rising markets.
• Principal protected at par if neither underlying breaches its 55 % downside threshold at maturity.

Negative

• Full downside participation: if either underlying finishes <55 % of initial, investors lose the same percentage of principal, up to total loss.
• No guaranteed coupons; a single barrier breach in any month cancels that payment.
• Credit exposure to UBS AG; payment depends entirely on issuer’s solvency.
• Issue price exceeds estimated value by $20.30 per note, reflecting fees and hedging costs.
• No listing and uncertain liquidity; secondary sales may incur substantial discounts.

Insights

Structured-Products Analyst

TL;DR — High coupon note offers 8.85 % p.a. but full downside if NEE or SPX falls >45 %; limited size, neutral to UBS.

The supplement outlines a small ($2 million) tranche of two-year autocallables. From an investor perspective, the 100 % call trigger after month 14 increases the chance of early redemption, capping income at roughly 14-15 months if markets remain strong. The identical 55 % coupon barrier and downside threshold leave no extra cushion at maturity versus monthly observations—any breach forfeits coupons and risks capital. The high 8.85 % coupon compensates for uncapped downside exposure, illiquidity, and the issuer’s credit risk. Because proceeds are immaterial to UBS, the filing is not impactful for equity investors but is material disclosure for structured-note buyers.
