FINDINGS:

Pursuant to an offer of settlement in which UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”) neither admitted nor denied the rule violations upon which the penalty is based, on [hearing date], a panel of the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) Business Conduct Committee found that it had jurisdiction over UBS pursuant to Rules 400 and 402 as the conduct occurred while UBS was a CBOT member, and that on multiple dates between February 17, 2011, and October 5, 2011, UBS executed block trades in various treasury and equity futures contracts and did not report those trades to the Exchange within five minutes of the time of execution. The Panel concluded that UBS thereby violated CBOT Rule 526.F. During this same time period UBS failed to maintain accurate records with respect to multiple block trade executions. The Panel found that in so doing, UBS violated Rule 536.A.

Additionally, the Panel found that on January 13, 2011, UBS priced a block trade in U.S. Treasury Bond futures to Trade at Settlement (“TAS”). The panel concluded that this transaction violated Rule 526 and that no CBOT Rule permitted TAS transactions. The Panel also found that on June 10, 2011, UBS aggregated several orders to achieve the minimum transaction size in a block trade in E-mini MSCI EAFE futures contracts. The panel found that in so doing, UBS violated Rule 526.A.

PENALTY:

In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered UBS Securities LLC to pay a fine of $90,000.
