                                                                                    To the Disclosure Statement dated January 30, 2013



                                                      Union Bank, N.A.
                Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit, due April 30, 2018 (MLCD No. 272)
                                               Quarterly Capped Return Linked to Gold
Set forth below are the terms and conditions of the above specified Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) Quarterly Capped Return Market-Linked
Certificates of Deposit (the “MLCDs”). You should carefully review this Disclosure Supplement (the “Supplement”), as well as the attached
Disclosure Statement, before deciding if an investment in an MLCD is appropriate for you. In the event of any inconsistency between the
Disclosure Statement and this Supplement, the terms of the Supplement will control. In general, the MLCDs are designed for investors who
seek return of principal along with participation in the potential quarterly appreciation of the Investment Benchmark, subject to a cap as
described below, and who are prepared to hold the MLCD until the Maturity Date. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Disclosure Statement.

MLCD Description

Each MLCD is a certificate of deposit that offers a potential return based on the performance of the Gold Spot Price (the “Investment Benchmark”),
subject to a cap as described below. This return is therefore not a fixed coupon and no Periodic Interest Payments will be made on the MLCDs
•    Return Potential: The interest payment to the depositor is equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Quarterly Percentage Changes (as defined
     below) of the Investment Benchmark over the term of the MLCDs, subject to a cap each quarter, multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount
     on the Maturity Date or (ii) the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below). The return potential of the MLCDs is subject to a cap on
     each Quarterly Percentage Change and, as a result, on the aggregate return on the MLCDs (as described below). Investors should be willing to
     forgo the return potential above the Maximum Indexed Interest Amount in exchange for return of principal and FDIC insurance as described
     below.
•    Return of Principal: At maturity, you will receive repayment of your Deposit Amount and an amount no less than the Minimum Indexed Interest
     Amount, regardless of the performance of the Investment Benchmark. Investors who redeem all or a portion of their MLCD early may lose a
     portion of their Deposit Amount.
•    FDIC Insurance: The MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank and are therefore eligible for FDIC coverage up to applicable limits set by
     federal law and regulation. The FDIC insures all deposits maintained by a depositor in the same ownership capacity (i.e., individual or joint) at
     the same insured depository institution up to an aggregate amount of $250,000. Further, with respect to the MLCDs, the FDIC insurance covers
     only the Deposit Amount and does not include any Indexed Interest Amount, Minimum Indexed Interest Amount or secondary market premium.
     You are responsible for determining and monitoring the FDIC insurance coverage limit available to you in purchasing any MLCD. The Bank has
     no obligation to monitor the FDIC insurance coverage that is available to you.
•    IRA Eligible: MLCDs are eligible investments for individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).

Risks and Considerations

Purchasing an MLCD involves a number of risks, including risks not typically associated with fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or debt
instruments. The Bank recommends that prospective investors carefully consider, together with their financial, legal, accounting, tax and other
advisors, those risks in determining the suitability of an MLCD in light of their financial circumstances. Please refer to the accompanying Disclosure
Statement for a more detailed discussion of these risks which include, but are not limited to:
•     You are not guaranteed the return of the Deposit Amount if your MLCD is not held to maturity. In addition, if you choose to exercise the Early
      Redemption feature, you are not guaranteed the return of the Deposit Amount.
•     If you hold more in deposits with the Bank than applicable FDIC insurance limits (including the MLCDs you purchase), you will not receive the
      benefit of FDIC insurance for any balance in excess of that amount. In this instance, the return of principal is subject to the credit risk of the
      Bank.
•     Neither the Bank nor any Offering Broker is required to, nor does the Bank or any of its affiliates intend to, make a secondary market in the
      MLCDs. There is no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Funds needed prior to maturity should not be invested in MLCDs.
•     The MLCDs may yield a return that is less than that of a traditional certificate of deposit or debt instrument of a comparable maturity.
•     Interest on the MLCDs will be subject to annual income taxes based upon a comparable yield for the issuance, even though no payments will be
      made on the MLCDs until the Maturity Date, absent early redemption. You may incur a tax liability without any offsetting income from the
      MLCDs. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein and in the Disclosure Statement.
•     The Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below) may not reflect the full upside performance of the Investment Benchmark, and the performance
      of the Investment Benchmark may result in the investor receiving only the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity.
•     Although the return on the MLCD is linked to the performance of the Investment Benchmark, you will not have any rights in or to the shares,
      currencies or commodities, as the case may be, comprising or referenced in the Investment Benchmark, including, where applicable, beneficial
      ownership rights such as dividends, distributions or voting.
•     Negative Quarterly Percentage Changes (as described below) may eliminate any positive capped Quarterly Percentage Changes, reducing the
      return to the investor to the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity even if the value of the Gold Spot Price increases from the Pricing
      Date (as defined below) to the maturity of the MLCD.

 Please see “Additional Risk Factors” in the accompanying Disclosure Statement for a more detailed discussion of the risks
 involved in purchasing the MLCDs.

The MLCDs are made available through UnionBanc Investment Services, LLC (“UBIS”), a subsidiary of the Bank, and/or other Offering Brokers. The
MLCDs are time deposit obligations of the Bank, a national banking association, and are not obligations of UnionBanCal Corporation, the Offering
Brokers, or any other company affiliated with the Bank. None of UnionBanCal Corporation, UBIS or any other affiliate of the Bank guarantees the
financial condition of the Bank.

Illustrative Examples
The following examples are provided for illustration purposes only and are hypothetical. They are not representative of
every possible scenario concerning the Quarterly Percentage Changes of the Investment Benchmark. The Bank cannot
predict the Closing Value of the Investment Benchmark on any Scheduled Trading Day. The assumptions the Bank has
made in connection with the illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events, and the hypothetical quarterly
index values of the Investment Benchmark for each Observation Date used in the illustrations below may not be the
actual quarterly index values of the Investment Benchmark for each such Observation Date. The examples assume a
quarterly cap of 4.00%* on the Quarterly Percentage Changes in the Investment Benchmark. You should not take these
examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Investment Benchmark or rate of return on
the MLCD.
The following examples indicate how and whether the Indexed Interest Amount would be calculated and paid with
respect to a hypothetical $1,000 Deposit Amount in the MLCDs. These examples assume that there is no early
redemption, that the MLCDs are held to maturity, and the following:

 Quarterly Percentage            The lesser of:
 Change:
                                 (i) the   (Final Quarterly Value – Initial Quarterly Value)
                                                           Initial Quarterly Value,
                                 and
                                 (ii) the 4.00% quarterly cap*.
 Indexed Interest Amount:        The sum of the 20 Quarterly Percentage Changes of the Investment
                                 Benchmark multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the
                                 Maturity Date.
 Maximum Indexed Interest        80.00%** multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the
 Amount:                         Maturity Date. This equates to a 12.47% APY.
 Minimum Indexed Interest        2.50% multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity
 Amount                          Date. This equates to a 0.49% APY.
 Payment at Maturity:            The Deposit Amount plus the greater of (i) the Indexed Interest
                                 Amount or (ii) the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount.


*The actual quarterly cap on the Quarterly Percentage Changes will be determined on the Pricing Date, subject to the
4.00% - 5.00% range herein, and will not be less than 4.00%.

**The actual Maximum Indexed Interest Amount will be determined on the Pricing Date, subject to the 80.00% - 100.00%
range herein, and will not be less than 80.00%.

 *Quarterly Percentage Changes for these Observation Dates have been reduced to reflect the hypothetical quarterly cap of 4.00%
 (the actual cap will be determined on the Pricing Date subject to the 4.00% - 5.00% range herein). Although the Quarterly Percentage
 Change is capped at 4.00%, the Final Quarterly Value for that quarter is the Initial Quarterly Value for the immediately succeeding
 quarter regardless of the application of the quarterly cap.

Investment Benchmark Overview

The value of gold to which the return on the MLCD is linked is the spot price of gold in U.S. dollars as determined at
3:00 p.m. London time by a committee of market making members of the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”).
The five members of the committee are Barclays Capital, Scotia Mocatta, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, and HSBC
Investment Banking Group. The fix is carried out twice a day, at 10:30 am and 3:00 pm London local time via telephone
by the five members.

The London Bullion Market
London is the focus of the international Over-the-Counter (OTC) market for gold, with a client base that includes the
majority of the central banks that hold gold, plus producers, refiners, fabricators and other traders throughout the world.
Members of the London bullion market typically trade with each other and with their clients on a principal-to-principal
basis, which means that all risks, including those of credit, are between the two counterparts to a transaction. This is
known as an ‘Over the Counter’ (OTC) market, as opposed to an exchange traded environment.
The London bullion market is a wholesale market, where minimum traded amounts for clients are generally 1,000
ounces of gold.
Unlike a futures exchange – where trading is based around standard contract units, settlement dates and delivery
specifications – the OTC market allows flexibility. It also provides confidentiality, as transactions are conducted between
the two principals involved.

Historical Closing Values of Gold

Since its inception, the Investment Benchmark has experienced significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or
downward trend in the Gold Spot Price during any period shown below is not an indication that the Gold Spot Price is
more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the MLCDs. The historical values do not give
an indication of the future performance of the Gold Spot Price. The Bank cannot assure you that the future performance
of the Gold Spot Price will result in holders of the MLCDs receiving an amount greater than the outstanding deposit
amount of the MLCDs and the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount on the maturity date.

Market Disruption Events
“Market Disruption Event” means a Price Source Disruption, Trading Disruption, Disappearance of Commodity
Reference Price, Material Change in Formula or Tax Disruption.
    •   “Price Source Disruption” means (i) the failure of the Price Source to announce or publish the Gold Value (or the
        information necessary for determining the Gold Value) or (ii) the temporary or permanent discontinuance or
        unavailability of the Price Source.
    •   “Trading Disruption” means the material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in gold or a
        related futures contract, options contract or commodity on the London bullion market or the relevant exchange,
        as applicable.
    •   “Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price” means (i) the permanent discontinuation of trading in a Gold-
        related futures contract, options contract or commodity on the London bullion market or the relevant exchange,
        as applicable, or (ii) the disappearance or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the Gold Value,
        notwithstanding the availability of the Price Source or the status of trading in Gold or in a related futures
        contract, options contract or commodity.
    •   “Material Change in Formula” means the occurrence since the pricing date of a material change in the formula
        for or the method of calculating the Gold Spot Price.
    •   “Tax Disruption” means the imposition of, change in or removal of an excise, severance, sales, use, value-
        added, transfer, stamp, documentary, recording or similar tax on, or measured by reference to, Gold (other than
        a tax on, or measured by reference to overall gross or net income) by any government or taxation authority after
        the pricing date, if the direct effect of the applicable imposition, change or removal is to raise or lower the Gold
        Value on the day that would otherwise be a Measurement Date from what it would have been without that
        imposition, change or removal.
If a Market Disruption occurs or exists on the valuation date set forth above for the MLCDs, the Calculation Agent may
determine the Gold Value (or the method for determining the Gold Value), taking into consideration the latest available
quotation for the Gold Value and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant. The Calculation Agent may
make this determination in such manner as it deems appropriate, and its determination will be binding.

of risks relating to the MLCDs in the “Risk Factors” section of the attached Disclosure Statement. The Bank also encourages you to
consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before investing in the MLCDs.
•       The Indexed Interest Amount is based solely on the change in the Investment Benchmark from the Initial Closing Value to the Final
        Closing Value . No interim changes in the Investment Benchmark, including increases, will be considered in determining the Indexed
        Interest Amount.
•       Although the return on the MLCDs is linked to the performance of the Investment Benchmark, you will not have any rights with
        respect to gold or any related futures contracts.
•       The MLCDs will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
•       The Indexed Interest Amount will be subject to market volatility and risks relating to gold. Gold prices are subject to volatile price
        movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including the structure
        of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence
        in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates,
        and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial, or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry
        factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and
        other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short-
        term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect
        of all or any combination of these factors.
•       The Gold Spot Price is determined by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self regulatory association of bullion market participants. If the
        LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of
        regulation currently not in place, the role of the LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely
        affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to over-the-counter physical
        commodity markets than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of
        LBMA trading. The LBMA Gold Value will not necessarily be consistent with other valuations of gold, such as those determined by
        reference to futures contracts on gold.
•       The price of gold could be adversely affected by the promulgation of new laws or regulations or by the reinterpretation of existing
        laws or regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to taxes and duties on commodities or commodity components) by
        one or more governments, governmental agencies or instrumentalities, courts, or other official bodies. Any event of this kind could
        adversely affect the Gold Spot Price and, as a result, could adversely affect the value of the MLCDs.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, you are hereby notified that (a) any
discussion of United States federal tax issues in this Disclosure Supplement is not intended or written
to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon by you for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be
imposed on you under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (b) this
discussion is included herein by the Bank in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the
meaning of Circular 230) by the Bank, UBIS and the Offering Brokers of the transactions or matters
addressed in this Disclosure Supplement, and (c) you should seek advice based on your particular
circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
The following discussion supplements (and, to the extent inconsistent with, supersedes) and should be read in
conjunction with the discussion in the attached Disclosure Statement under “United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations.” For purposes of that discussion, the MLCDs are “long-term MLCDs.”

The table below sets forth the following information with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of the MLCDs
for each of the indicated accrual periods through the maturity dates of the MLCDs:
    •    the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period;
    •    the amount of interest deemed to have accrued during the accrual period; and
    •    the total amount of interest deemed to have accrued from the original issue date through the end of the
         accrual period.
The table is based upon a hypothetical projected payment schedule (including both a hypothetical Indexed
Interest Amount and a hypothetical comparable yield equal to 1.99% per annum (compounded annually), which
is the Bank’s current estimate of the comparable yield, based upon market conditions as of the date of this
Supplement) as determined by the Bank for purposes of illustrating the application of the Code and the
Treasury regulations to the MLCDs. The comparable yield will not be less than the “applicable federal rate”
based on the overall maturity of the MLCD. This tax accrual table is based upon a hypothetical projected
payment schedule per $1,000 principal amount of the MLCDs, which would consist of a single payment of
$1,103.57 at maturity. This payment consists of the principal amount and a projection for tax purposes of the
estimated Indexed Interest Amount. The actual “projected payment schedule” will be completed on the Pricing
Date of the MLCDs, and included in the final Supplement. This information is provided solely for tax purposes,
and the Bank makes no representations or predictions as to what the actual Indexed Interest Amount will be.
The following table is for illustrative purposes only. The Bank will determine the actual projected payment
schedule and the actual comparable yield on the Pricing Date. The tax accrual table will be revised accordingly
and will be set forth in the final Supplement. The tax accrual table will depend upon actual market interest
rates (and accordingly, the Bank’s borrowing costs for debt instruments with comparable maturities) as
determined on the Pricing Date.
                                                                                                  Total Interest Deemed

                                                    Adjusted Issue Price      Accrue on the MLCDs Original Issue Date as

    (1) Represents the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period multiplied by the hypothetical comparable yield
         for the accrual period.
Final Adjusted Issue Price = $1,103.57 per $1,000 principal amount of MLCDs.
Upon payment at maturity, you will be required to adjust the income accrued pursuant to the projected payment
schedule, upward or downward, to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected amount of the
maturity payment. You generally will treat any such gain as ordinary income and any such loss as ordinary
loss to the extent of previous income inclusions. All prospective investors in the MLCDs should consult their
own tax advisors concerning the taxation of the MLCDs.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
                                                                                                                              dated January 30, 2013

                                                     UNION BANK, N.A.
                                                     Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit
Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) may from time to time offer market-linked certificates of deposit (“MLCDs”) with maturities of at least seven calendar days.
The returns on the MLCDs will be linked to one or more Investment Benchmarks, as described below. This Disclosure Statement contains the general
terms and conditions that will apply to the MLCDs. The specific terms and conditions applicable to a particular MLCD offering will be described in greater
detail in the applicable Disclosure Supplement (“Supplement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the Disclosure Statement and the Supplement,
the terms of the Supplement will control.
Payments on the MLCDs
Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement and unlike traditional certificates of deposit and other debt instruments, the Bank will make a payment on
the maturity date of the MLCDs (the “Indexed Interest Amount”) that is related to changes in (i) the value or values of one or more indices based on the
prices of securities, (ii) the exchange rates of one or more specified currencies or currency indices, (iii) the value or values of one or more commodities or
commodity indices, (iv) the price or prices of the shares of one or more exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) based on any of the forgoing or on any other
types of assets or (v) any other measure of economic or financial performance. With respect to each MLCD, the applicable assets or market measures
are referred to as the “Investment Benchmark.” (For example, in the case of an MLCD linked to the price of shares of an ETF, the Investment Benchmark
will be the relevant ETF.) The Supplement for the MLCDs will specify the applicable Investment Benchmark and how the Indexed Interest Amount will be
calculated. The Indexed Interest Amount may be calculated based upon values observed on one or more dates that are close to the maturity date of the
MLCDs, or periodically over the term of the MLCD, and may be subject to a cap. As a result, the payments received on the MLCD may be
substantially less than any change in the value of the Investment Benchmark, and these features may generally negatively affect your
investment return. In addition, if the Supplement does not provide for a Minimum Indexed Interest Amount, as defined below, you may receive
no interest payment or return of any kind on your MLCDs, other than the repayment of the Deposit Amount (as defined below). If the MLCD is
held to maturity, the Bank will pay no less than the full Deposit Amount.
Liquidity
Although the Bank or its affiliates may purchase the MLCDs from you in the secondary market, they are not obligated to do so. The Bank and its affiliates
are not obligated to, and do not intend to, make a market for the MLCDs. There is no assurance that a secondary market for the MLCDs will develop or, if
it develops, that it will continue. Consequently, you may not be able to sell your MLCDs readily or at prices that will enable you to realize your desired
yield. Only MLCDs held to maturity or MLCDs that are subject to a permitted early withdrawal in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of a
beneficial owner of the MLCD will be entitled to the return of the full Deposit Amount. If you sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, you may receive less than
the full amount of your Deposit Amount. The MLCDs are designed to be held to maturity, and funds that you need prior to maturity should not be
invested in MLCDs.
Deposit Insurance
The MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank, the deposits and accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
“FDIC”) up to certain statutory limits and in accordance with certain limitations and restrictions. The “Deposit Insurance” section below contains a general
description of the federal deposit insurance limitations and restrictions as applied to the MLCDs. The amount of deposit insurance available to you for
MLCDs you purchase will depend on a number of factors, including the capacity in which you hold the MLCDs and whether you hold any other deposits at
the Bank in the same capacity. A depositor purchasing a principal amount of MLCDs that is in excess of the described limits or which, together with other
deposits that it maintains at the Bank in the same ownership capacity, is in excess of such limits should not rely on the availability of deposit insurance
with respect to such excess. To the extent you maintain deposits with the Bank in excess of the FDIC limits, you are relying solely on the Bank’s
ability to pay the principal amount of the MLCD. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you hold at the Bank in
the same ownership capacity in order to determine the extent of FDIC insurance coverage available to you on the MLCDs. In addition, the FDIC
has taken the position that any Indexed Interest Amount and Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (until such amounts are contractually accrued
on the books and records of the Bank) and any secondary market premium paid by a depositor above the principal amount of the MLCDs are
not insured by the FDIC. Therefore, you are relying solely on the Bank’s ability to pay the Indexed Interest Amount and Minimum Indexed
Interest Amount, if any, until such time as such amounts are contractually accrued on the books and records of the Bank. See “Deposit
Insurance” herein.
Survivor’s Option
If so specified in the Supplement, withdrawals will be permitted prior to the maturity date in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of the
beneficial owner of the MLCD. This right is called a “Survivor’s Option” and upon the valid election of this right, the Bank will repay 100% of the principal
amount of the MLCD; however, the Bank will not pay any Indexed Interest Amount or Minimum Indexed Interest Amount. See “Survivor’s Option” herein.
Tax Treatment
Most United States holders of the MLCDs, other than those purchasing the MLCDs through a tax advantaged retirement account (such as an IRA), are
subject to tax rules requiring them to include in their taxable income during each tax year in which the MLCDs are outstanding imputed interest
income on the MLCDs even though interest, if any, may not be paid on the MLCDs until maturity. See “United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations” herein.
Risk Factors
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Bank and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks
involved. You should reach an investment decision only after carefully considering, together with your financial, legal and tax advisors, the
suitability of an investment in an MLCD in light of your financial circumstances. You will be subject to risks, including risks not associated
with conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or debt instruments. See “Risk Factors” herein and “Risks and
Considerations” in the applicable Supplement for more information on the risks associated with the MLCDs.
MLCDs Are Obligations of the Bank
The MLCDs are obligations solely of the Bank, and are not obligations of and are not guaranteed by UnionBanCal Corporation, UnionBanc Investment
Services, LLC (“UBIS”) or any other affiliate or subsidiary of the bank. The MLCDs are not, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and are not required to be so registered. The MLCDs have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory
authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement or any
Supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Offering Brokers
The MLCDs will be made available through UBIS and may be made available through certain other brokers (together, the “Offering Brokers”). UBIS is a
registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, member FINRA/SIPC, and a subsidiary of the Bank.

Summary
   This Disclosure Statement, along with the applicable Supplement, describes the terms of the MLCDs offered. These documents
   contain information you should consider when making your investment decision and you should rely solely on the information
   contained in this Disclosure Statement and the applicable Supplement. To the extent that any of the information in the Supplement
   is inconsistent with the information contained in this Disclosure Statement, the applicable Supplement will control. Neither the Bank
   nor UBIS has authorized anyone to provide you with any additional information. If any such information is provided to you, you
   should not rely on it. The information contained in this Disclosure Statement and any Supplement may not be modified by any oral
   representation made before or after purchase of an MLCD. You should consider carefully the information contained in “Risk
   Factors” beginning on the next page.
   This Disclosure Statement and the applicable Supplement do not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any state or
   jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to
   do so, or to any person for whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. The information contained in this Disclosure
   Statement and the applicable Supplement may only be accurate as of the dates of such documents. You should not interpret the
   delivery of this Disclosure Statement or the applicable Supplement or the sale of the MLCDs as an indication that there has been no

   Issuer                              Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”)

   Calculation Agent                   Union Bank, N.A.

   MLCDs                               Market-linked certificates of deposit, issued by the Bank from time to time and as described
                                       herein and in the applicable Supplement. See “General Description of the MLCDs.” The
                                       MLCDs will be in the form of a master certificate held through the Depository Trust Company
                                       (“DTC”). See “Evidence of the Deposits.”

   Payments                            MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank. Upon maturity, the bank will return to you the full
                                       deposit amount of your MLCDs (the “Deposit Amount”). Unlike traditional certificates of deposit
                                       and other debt instruments, the Bank will make a payment on the maturity date of the MLCDs
                                       (and such other dates as may be set forth in the applicable Supplement) based on changes in
                                       an Investment Benchmark (the “Indexed Interest Amount”). If so specified in the applicable
                                       Supplement, the MLCDs may also accrue and provide for periodic payments of interest at a
                                       specified rate (the “Periodic Interest Payments”). See “General Description of the MLCDs –
                                       Payments on the MLCDs.”

   Additions and Withdrawals;          Generally, additions and withdrawals are not permitted. If so specified in the applicable
   Early Redemption                    Supplement, a series of MLCDs may have an early redemption feature, in which case the
                                       amount of the payment on the MLCDs will be determined prior to maturity and an early
                                       redemption penalty (the “Early Redemption Penalty”) may apply (the “Early Redemption
                                       Amount”), and/or a Survivor’s Option, as described below. See “General Description of the
                                       MLCDs – Additions and Withdrawals,” “– Early Redemption and Early Redemption Penalty”
                                       and “– Survivor’s Option.”

   Survivor’s Option                   If so specified in the applicable Supplement, withdrawals will be permitted prior to the maturity
                                       date in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of the beneficial owner of an
                                       MLCD. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Survivor’s Option.”

   Investment Benchmark                The Investment Benchmark and the method for calculating the Indexed Interest Amount will be
                                       set forth in the applicable Supplement. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Information
                                       with Respect to the Investment Benchmark.”

   Minimum Denomination                Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Supplement, denominations of $1,000 and integral
                                       multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Minimum
                                       Denominations.”

   Transfers                           If you choose to terminate your Offering Broker as nominee, authorized representative, agent
                                       or custodian with regard to an MLCD, you may (i) transfer your MLCDs to another broker-
                                       dealer or other institution which is a direct or indirect DTC participant (the “Transferee Broker,”
                                       which together with the Offering Broker, is collectively referred to herein as “Broker”) or (ii)
                                       request that your ownership of the MLCD be evidenced directly on the books of the Bank,
                                       subject to applicable law and the Bank’s terms and conditions, including those related to the
                                       manner of evidencing MLCD ownership. In the event that your ownership of the MLCD is
                                       evidenced directly on the books of the Bank, the term “Broker” as used herein shall include the
                                       Bank to the extent applicable.




Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement                                                                     3
Risk Factors
Your purchase of an MLCD involves significant risks, including risks not associated with fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or
debt instruments. You should not purchase the MLCDs unless you understand and are able to bear the risks associated with the MLCDs
which are included in this Disclosure Statement and any applicable Supplement. You should compare the features of the MLCDs to other
available investments before deciding to purchase an MLCD. Due to the uncertainty as to whether the MLCDs will earn an Indexed Interest
Amount, the return you receive with respect to an MLCD may be higher or lower than the returns on other deposits or investments available
from the Offering Brokers or the Bank or through other investments. You should reach an investment decision only after carefully
considering, together with your financial, legal and tax advisors, the suitability of an investment in an MLCD in light of your financial
circumstances.


Depositors May Not Be Entitled to Receive any Interest Even if the MLCD Is Held to Maturity

Unless the Supplement specifies a Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below) or Periodic Interest Payments, you will not receive
any other return at maturity if the value of the Investment Benchmark does not change so as to produce an Indexed Interest Amount greater
than zero. If the Indexed Interest Amount is not greater than zero, at maturity you will receive only the Deposit Amount of your MLCDs plus
any Periodic Interest Payments or Minimum Indexed Interest Amount specified in the related Supplement.
It is possible you will receive no Indexed Interest Amount, even though the value of the Investment Benchmark on the maturity date is
greater than the value of the Investment Benchmark on the issue date of your MLCDs. For example, if the Indexed Interest Amount is
calculated based on an average of the value of the Investment Benchmark observed at specified intervals during the term of the MLCD, one
or more low values may offset any earlier or later increases, resulting in an Indexed Interest Amount of zero. If your MLCDs are subject to
any knock-out event or similar event pursuant to their terms that eliminates any Indexed Interest Amount, your Indexed Interest Amount will
be zero if the Investment Benchmark is at specified values at any time during the term of your MLCDs, even if the value of the Investment
Benchmark is not at those specified values at other times or at maturity. You must carefully read the applicable Supplement to determine
the circumstances under which your Indexed Interest Amount will be limited, or will be zero.


Your Return May Be Less Than the Return You Could Earn on Alternative Investments or on a Direct Investment in
the Investment Benchmark or Any of Its Components

Your return on the MLCDs, if any, may be lower than the return you could receive on a conventional certificate of deposit or debt instrument
of comparable maturity and on other alternative investments available. Your return, if any, may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you
when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money. In part, this is because you have lost the use of the Deposit Amount
for the term of the MLCDs.
Further, your return on the MLCDs, if any, may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Investment Benchmark or
any of its components. For example, the payment on the maturity date of an MLCD does not include any dividends paid on any securities
included in an Investment Benchmark that is a securities index or any dividends paid on an ETF that is an Investment Benchmark. Further,
the Indexed Interest Amount may be calculated based upon observing the value of the Investment Benchmark over the term of the MLCDs,
at one point in time or at intervals prior to maturity, may be based on participating in the performance of the Investment Benchmark at a rate
that is less than 1.00, or may be otherwise capped. If the Investment Benchmark includes any non-U.S. indices or securities, your return on
the MLCDs will not be adjusted to reflect the returns that you would have received had you made a direct investment in such Investment
Benchmark or its components, and its value increased or decreased due to changes in the applicable currency exchange rates.


The Price at Which You May Sell the MLCDs Prior to Maturity May Be Substantially Less Than Your Deposit Amount
In connection with any proposed secondary market sale or early redemption (if applicable) of your MLCDs, the price at which you may sell
your MLCDs or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable), respectively, will likely differ from the amount that you would receive at
maturity. A variety of factors will influence the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). A change in one factor could
offset the effect of a change in one of the other factors, such that there may be no determinable net effect on the sale price or the Early
Redemption Amount (if applicable). An adverse movement in one or more of the factors could result in the sale price or the Early
Redemption Amount (if applicable) being substantially less than your original Deposit Amount. For example, the effect from an increase in
the value of the Investment Benchmark may be offset by an increase in interest rates on the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if
applicable). Additionally, an Early Redemption Penalty may factor into the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).
Investment Benchmark. Changes in the value of the Investment Benchmark from its initial value on the issue date are anticipated to have a
substantial impact on the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Even
if the value of the Investment Benchmark has increased from its initial value, upon any proposed secondary market sale or early
redemption, you may still receive substantially less than the amount that would be payable at maturity based upon that same value due to
the expectation that the value of the Investment Benchmark will continue to fluctuate until the maturity date.
Volatility of the Investment Benchmark. Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of fluctuations in the value of the
Investment Benchmark. If the volatility of the Investment Benchmark increases or decreases, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs
prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may be adversely affected.
Interest Rates. Changes in interest rates will affect the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption
Amount (if applicable). Generally, if interest rates increase, the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may decrease,
and if interest rates decrease, the sale price for your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may
increase. Interest rates may also directly or indirectly impact the value of the Investment Benchmark, which would affect the sale price and
the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).



Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement                                              4
Dividend Yield. If the Investment Benchmark is a securities index or an ETF, the price at which you may sell MLCDs prior to maturity and
the and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may also be affected by the dividend yields, if any, on the components of the
Investment Benchmark (such as the securities included in an index or the securities held by an ETF). Because a depositor in the MLCD is
not entitled to the value of dividend payments, an increase in dividend yields may reduce the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount
(if applicable), while a decrease in dividend yields may increase the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).
Time Remaining to the Applicable Maturity Date. As the time remaining to maturity of MLCDs decreases, the “time premium” associated
with them will decrease. Before maturity, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs may be above that which would be expected based
on the levels of market interest rates and the value of the applicable Investment Benchmark. This difference will reflect a “time premium”
due to expectations concerning the value of the Investment Benchmark during the period before the applicable maturity date. In general, as
the time remaining to maturity decreases, we expect that this “time premium” may decrease, lowering the sale price for your MLCDs and the
Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).
Events Affecting or Involving the Investment Benchmark. Economic, financial, regulatory, judicial, political and other developments that
affect the value of the Investment Benchmark or its components, and real or anticipated changes in those factors, also may affect the price
at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).


Neither You Nor the Bank Has Rights in the Investment Benchmarks or Any of Its Components

Your interest in an MLCD does not entitle you to the rights of a holder of the Investment Benchmark or any of its components. As a result:
   if your Investment Benchmark is linked to a securities index or an ETF, you will not have any rights in the components of the index or the
    applicable ETF or the securities that it holds, including voting rights, the right to receive interest, dividends or other distributions or any
    other rights in any of those securities; and
   if your Investment Benchmark is linked to a commodity, commodity index, currency or futures contract, or commodity ETF, purchasing
    the MLCDs will not make you a holder of any commodity, currency or futures contract relating to the Investment Benchmark or its
    underlying components or assets. The MLCDs will be paid in U.S. dollars, and you will have no right to receive delivery of any
    commodity, currency or futures contract relating to an Investment Benchmark.


Limited Liquidity Prior to Maturity

When you purchase an MLCD, you agree with the Bank to keep your funds on deposit for the term of the MLCD. Unless otherwise
specified in the Supplement, you will not have the right to withdraw any portion of the Deposit Amount prior to the maturity date.
Neither the Offering Brokers nor the Bank can assure you that you will be able to sell your MLCDs in the secondary market prior to its
maturity date. Therefore, you should not rely on any such ability to sell your MLCDs prior to its maturity date for any benefits, including
achieving trading profits, limiting trading or other losses, realizing income or having access to the proceeds. Even if a secondary market
does develop, it may not provide significant liquidity, and it is unlikely that the secondary market value of the MLCDs will correlate closely
with the value of the Investment Benchmark. If you sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, you may not receive the full amount of your Deposit
Amount.
The MLCDs will not be listed on any national exchange or quoted on any U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system or traded in the
over-the-counter market.


Secondary Market Prices May Be Affected by Fees and Hedging Costs

Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which a party will be willing to purchase MLCDs
in secondary market transactions and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) likely will be lower, perhaps significantly lower, than the
original issue price. This is in part because the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices (if available) and the Early
Redemption Amount (if applicable) are likely to exclude, the effect of placement fees paid to a Participating Broker, Issuer Program Costs
(as defined below) paid to or recognized by the Bank and the anticipated profit to hedge providers included in hedging the Bank’s
obligations under the MLCDs. The anticipated cost of hedging the Bank’s obligations will be determined by the Bank or its affiliates with the
intent to realize a profit. However, because hedging the Bank’s obligations entails exposure to market forces beyond the Bank’s control or
its affiliates’ control, these hedging activities may result in a profit that is more or less than initially anticipated, or may result in a loss.
Therefore, assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which the Offering Broker will be
willing to purchase MLCDs from you and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) will likely be lower than the original issue price. In
addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by others’ pricing models as a result of such compensation or other transaction
costs.


Insolvency of the Bank May Result in Early Payment of Your MLCDs

If the FDIC is appointed as conservator or receiver for the Bank, the FDIC is authorized to disaffirm or repudiate certain contracts to which
the Bank is a party, the performance of which is determined to be burdensome, and the disaffirmation or repudiation of which is determined
to promote the orderly administration of the Bank’s affairs. It appears very likely that for this purpose deposit obligations, such as the
MLCDs, are “contracts” within the meaning of the foregoing and that the MLCDs could be repudiated by the FDIC in its capacity as
conservator or receiver of the Bank. As a result of any such repudiation, a holder of the MLCDs could be required to make a claim against
the FDIC for the Deposit Amount of the MLCDs and follow the FDIC’s claims procedures, which may result in a delay in receiving payment,
or the FDIC as conservator or receiver could also transfer the MLCDs to another insured depository institution, without approval or consent
of the holder of the MLCDs. A transferee depository institution would likely be permitted to offer holders of the MLCDs the choice of (i)
repayment of the Deposit Amount of the MLCDs or (ii) continuation of the MLCD for the remainder of the term, possibly on less favorable



Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement                                                 5
terms (including the periodic interest rate, if applicable). If an MLCD is paid off prior to maturity, either by a transferee depository institution
or the FDIC, you may be unable to reinvest the funds at the same anticipated rate of return on the original MLCD. In any case, no claim
would likely be available for any secondary market premium paid by you above the Deposit Amount, any Indexed Interest Amount or other
damages such as lost profit or opportunity cost.


An Investment Linked to the Shares of an ETF Is Different from an Investment Linked to the Related Underlying
Index or Other Assets

The performance of the shares of an ETF may not exactly replicate the performance of the related underlying index or other assets held
by the ETF because, for example, the ETF may not invest in all of the securities or other assets included in the related underlying index
and because the ETF will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the value of the related underlying
index or other assets. An ETF may also hold securities or other assets that are not included in the underlying index or other underlying
asset, or may also use one or more derivative transactions in an effort to track the performance of the underlying index or other
underlying asset, which in each case may impact its performance. It is also possible that an ETF may not fully replicate the
performance of the related underlying index or underlying assets due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities or assets in the
secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances. In addition, because the shares of an ETF are traded on a securities
exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the price of a share of an ETF may differ from the net asset value per
share of such ETF. For the foregoing reasons, the performance of an ETF may not correlate perfectly with the performance of the
related underlying index or underlying assets, and the return on the MLCDs based on the performance of an ETF and may be worse
than the return on MLCDs or other investments directly linked to the performance of the related underlying index or underlying assets.


Investment Benchmark Sponsors Have No Relationship with the MLCDs

The Bank will not be affiliated with any Investment Benchmark Sponsor, including the sponsor of any applicable index and any sponsor or
investment advisor of an ETF or its underlying index. Similarly, no such party will be involved in any respect with the offering or sale of the
MLCDs (except for any licensing arrangements disclosed in the applicable Supplement). The Bank has no ability to control or influence the
actions of any such party, including with respect to publicly available information regarding the Investment Benchmark (including any
underlying index), any changes to an Investment Benchmark, or any decision by an Investment Benchmark Sponsor or any other such party
to discontinue or alter an Investment Benchmark. You will have no rights as a holder of the MLCDs against any such party, even though
your MLCDs are linked to the Investment Benchmark.
Limited information may be available in the applicable Supplement with respect to the Investment Benchmark and its historical performance
based on publicly available information. Neither the Bank nor the Offering Brokers will independently verify publicly available information
and they will not make any representation that publicly available information about the Investment Benchmark, the Investment Benchmark
Sponsor or any other party is accurate or complete. Neither the Bank nor the Offering Brokers will provide to you updated information or
provide information regarding material future events regarding the Investment Benchmark. You should undertake an independent review of
the Investment Benchmark before making a decision to purchase an MLCD.


We Cannot Control Actions by Any ETF or Any of the Companies Whose Securities Are Included in an Investment
Benchmark

Actions by any company whose securities are included in an Investment Benchmark, including any ETF or its investment advisor, may
have an adverse effect on the value of the applicable securities or the Investment Benchmark, and the amount payable on the MLCDs.
Unless otherwise disclosed in the applicable Supplement, although the Bank or its affiliates may from time to time invest in such
companies, the Bank will not be affiliated with any company whose security is represented by an Investment Benchmark. These
companies will not be involved in the offering of the MLCDs and will have no obligations with respect to the MLCDs, including any
obligation to take our or your interests into consideration for any reason. These companies will not receive any of the proceeds of the
offering of the MLCDs and will not be responsible for, and will not have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or
quantities of, the MLCDs to be issued. These companies will not be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the
MLCDs and will have no obligations with respect to the amounts to be paid to you under the MLCDs.


Changes to the Investment Benchmark May Impact the Amount You Receive Prior to and at Maturity

The Investment Benchmark Sponsor, including the sponsor of any applicable index and any sponsor or investment advisor of an ETF or its
underlying index or assets, will have the ability to make changes that could adversely affect the value of the Investment Benchmark, the
price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) and the amount of any Indexed
Interest Amount. For an Inventment Benchmark that is an index or ETF, such changes could include:
   additions, deletions or substitutions of the assets comprising any applicable index or ETF;
   making methodological changes to the calculation of the value of any applicable index or ETF; or
   suspending or discontinuing calculation or publication of the trading levels or values of any applicable index or ETF.


The Historical Performance of the Investment Benchmark Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance
of the Investment Benchmark

The historical performance of the Investment Benchmark, which is included in the applicable Supplement, should not be taken as an

UNION BANK CD TIED TO GOLD

  • 1. Subject to Completion PRELIMINARY DISCLOSURE SUPPLEMENT Dated March 29, 2013 To the Disclosure Statement dated January 30, 2013 Union Bank, N.A. Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit, due April 30, 2018 (MLCD No. 272) Quarterly Capped Return Linked to Gold Set forth below are the terms and conditions of the above specified Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) Quarterly Capped Return Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit (the “MLCDs”). You should carefully review this Disclosure Supplement (the “Supplement”), as well as the attached Disclosure Statement, before deciding if an investment in an MLCD is appropriate for you. In the event of any inconsistency between the Disclosure Statement and this Supplement, the terms of the Supplement will control. In general, the MLCDs are designed for investors who seek return of principal along with participation in the potential quarterly appreciation of the Investment Benchmark, subject to a cap as described below, and who are prepared to hold the MLCD until the Maturity Date. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Disclosure Statement. MLCD Description Each MLCD is a certificate of deposit that offers a potential return based on the performance of the Gold Spot Price (the “Investment Benchmark”), subject to a cap as described below. This return is therefore not a fixed coupon and no Periodic Interest Payments will be made on the MLCDs • Return Potential: The interest payment to the depositor is equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Quarterly Percentage Changes (as defined below) of the Investment Benchmark over the term of the MLCDs, subject to a cap each quarter, multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Date or (ii) the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below). The return potential of the MLCDs is subject to a cap on each Quarterly Percentage Change and, as a result, on the aggregate return on the MLCDs (as described below). Investors should be willing to forgo the return potential above the Maximum Indexed Interest Amount in exchange for return of principal and FDIC insurance as described below. • Return of Principal: At maturity, you will receive repayment of your Deposit Amount and an amount no less than the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount, regardless of the performance of the Investment Benchmark. Investors who redeem all or a portion of their MLCD early may lose a portion of their Deposit Amount. • FDIC Insurance: The MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank and are therefore eligible for FDIC coverage up to applicable limits set by federal law and regulation. The FDIC insures all deposits maintained by a depositor in the same ownership capacity (i.e., individual or joint) at the same insured depository institution up to an aggregate amount of $250,000. Further, with respect to the MLCDs, the FDIC insurance covers only the Deposit Amount and does not include any Indexed Interest Amount, Minimum Indexed Interest Amount or secondary market premium. You are responsible for determining and monitoring the FDIC insurance coverage limit available to you in purchasing any MLCD. The Bank has no obligation to monitor the FDIC insurance coverage that is available to you. • IRA Eligible: MLCDs are eligible investments for individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). Risks and Considerations Purchasing an MLCD involves a number of risks, including risks not typically associated with fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or debt instruments. The Bank recommends that prospective investors carefully consider, together with their financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, those risks in determining the suitability of an MLCD in light of their financial circumstances. Please refer to the accompanying Disclosure Statement for a more detailed discussion of these risks which include, but are not limited to: • You are not guaranteed the return of the Deposit Amount if your MLCD is not held to maturity. In addition, if you choose to exercise the Early Redemption feature, you are not guaranteed the return of the Deposit Amount. • If you hold more in deposits with the Bank than applicable FDIC insurance limits (including the MLCDs you purchase), you will not receive the benefit of FDIC insurance for any balance in excess of that amount. In this instance, the return of principal is subject to the credit risk of the Bank. • Neither the Bank nor any Offering Broker is required to, nor does the Bank or any of its affiliates intend to, make a secondary market in the MLCDs. There is no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Funds needed prior to maturity should not be invested in MLCDs. • The MLCDs may yield a return that is less than that of a traditional certificate of deposit or debt instrument of a comparable maturity. • Interest on the MLCDs will be subject to annual income taxes based upon a comparable yield for the issuance, even though no payments will be made on the MLCDs until the Maturity Date, absent early redemption. You may incur a tax liability without any offsetting income from the MLCDs. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein and in the Disclosure Statement. • The Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below) may not reflect the full upside performance of the Investment Benchmark, and the performance of the Investment Benchmark may result in the investor receiving only the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity. • Although the return on the MLCD is linked to the performance of the Investment Benchmark, you will not have any rights in or to the shares, currencies or commodities, as the case may be, comprising or referenced in the Investment Benchmark, including, where applicable, beneficial ownership rights such as dividends, distributions or voting. • Negative Quarterly Percentage Changes (as described below) may eliminate any positive capped Quarterly Percentage Changes, reducing the return to the investor to the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity even if the value of the Gold Spot Price increases from the Pricing Date (as defined below) to the maturity of the MLCD. Please see “Additional Risk Factors” in the accompanying Disclosure Statement for a more detailed discussion of the risks involved in purchasing the MLCDs. The MLCDs are made available through UnionBanc Investment Services, LLC (“UBIS”), a subsidiary of the Bank, and/or other Offering Brokers. The MLCDs are time deposit obligations of the Bank, a national banking association, and are not obligations of UnionBanCal Corporation, the Offering Brokers, or any other company affiliated with the Bank. None of UnionBanCal Corporation, UBIS or any other affiliate of the Bank guarantees the financial condition of the Bank. 1
  • 2. Key Terms Issuer ............................................................... Union Bank, N.A. Investment Benchmark .................................... The Gold Spot Price, P.M. Fixing (Bloomberg Ticker: “GOLDLNPM Cmdty “) Gold Value ....................................................... On any Scheduled Trading Day (as defined below), that day’s afternoon gold fixing price per troy ounce of gold for delivery in London through a member of the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) authorized to effect such delivery, stated in U.S. dollars, as calculated by the London Bullion Market Association and displayed on Bloomberg Screen page “GOLDLNPM Cmdty” (the “Price Source”) that displays prices effective for that day. Currency .......................................................... USD. Minimum Deposit Amount ................................ $1,000 principal amount (except that each Offering Broker may, in its discretion, impose a higher minimum deposit amount with respect to MLCD sales to its customers) and multiples of $1,000 principal amount thereafter. Offering Period ................................................. March 29, 2013 to April 25, 2013 at 11:00 am PST. Pricing Date ..................................................... The date on which the MLCDs are priced. The Bank expects to price the MLCDs on April 26, 2013. If the Bank prices the MLCDs on a day other than on the Pricing Date, you will be notified of the changes in the final Supplement. Issue Date (Settlement Date) ........................... April 30, 2013. Maturity Date .................................................... April 30, 2018. Payment at Maturity ......................................... The amount payable on each MLCD on the Maturity Date will be the Deposit Amount plus the greater of (i) the Indexed Interest Amount or (ii) the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount. Indexed Interest Amount .................................. The sum of the 20 Quarterly Percentage Changes (as defined below), multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Date. There is no limit, or floor, on the extent of any negative Quarterly Percentage Change used to calculate the Indexed Interest Amount. However, positive Quarterly Percentage Changes will be subject to the quarterly cap as defined below. As a result, one, or a limited number of, negative Quarterly Percentage Changes could eliminate all positive Quarterly Percentage Changes, in which case, you would receive only the return of your Deposit Amount and the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity. As a result of the quarterly cap, the Indexed Interest Amount will never be more than the Maximum Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below). Quarterly Percentage Change ......................... The Quarterly Percentage Change for each quarter will equal the lesser of: (i) the (Final Quarterly Value – Initial Quarterly Value) Initial Quarterly Index Value, and (ii) the 4.00% to 5.00% quarterly cap*. *The quarterly cap will be determined on the Pricing Date subject to the range herein, and will be between 4.00% and 5.00%, inclusive. Initial Quarterly Value ....................................... For the first quarter, the Closing Value (defined below) of the Investment Benchmark on the Pricing Date and for each quarter thereafter, the Final Quarterly Value for the immediately preceding quarter. Final Quarterly Value ....................................... For each quarter, the Closing Value (defined below) of the Investment Benchmark on the 25th of each January, April, July, and October beginning July 2013 through and including January 2018 and April 25, 2018 (the “Final Observation Date” and each such date, an “Observation Date.”) Changes in the value of the Investment Benchmark from the Final Observation Date to the Maturity Date will not affect the Indexed Interest Amount or the return on the MLCD. Closing Value ................................................... The value of the Investment Benchmark as of the close of trading on the Relevant Exchange on the related Scheduled Trading Day. If any Observation Date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the Closing Value will be determined on the immediately succeeding Scheduled Trading Day. 2
  • 3. Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) ..................... 0.49% (if the Investment Benchmark remains the same throughout the term, so that only the Deposit Amount and the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount are payable on the MLCDs). The Bank uses the “daily balance method” to calculate interest on the MLCD. The method applies a daily periodic rate to the Deposit Amount each day. APYs assume that the MLCDs were purchased in the original offering and are calculated on the basis of a 365-day year. Minimum Indexed Interest Amount .................. The Minimum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity will be 2.50% multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Date. This equates to a 0.49% APY. Maximum Indexed Interest Amount ................. The Maximum Indexed Interest Amount at maturity will be 80.00% - 100.00% (the sum of the 20 Quarterly Percentage Changes each of which are subject to the quarterly cap of 4.00% - 5.00%) multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Date. This equates to a 12.47% - 14.86% APY. The Maximum Indexed Interest Amount will be determined on the Pricing Date subject to the ranges herein. Periodic Interest Payments…………………….. None. Call Feature ..................................................... None. Early Redemption Dates .................................. The 15th of each March, June, September, and December, beginning March 15, 2014. The amount you receive upon an early redemption (the “Early Redemption Amount”) is described in the section of the Disclosure Statement entitled “General Description of the MLCDs - Early Redemption and Early Redemption Penalty." Upon an Early Redemption, the amount that you may receive for your MLCD may be less than if held to maturity and will be impacted by the factors described under "Risk Factors – The Price at Which You May Sell the MLCDs Prior to Maturity May Be Substantially Less Than Your Deposit Amount” and “Fees and Hedging” in the Disclosure Statement. Survivor’s Option .............................................. Upon the death or adjudication of incompetence of the beneficial owner of the MLCD, the estate will be entitled to the return of the full Deposit Amount. The estate will not be entitled to additional payments associated with the performance of the Investment Benchmark or any secondary market premiums that may have been paid. th Survivor’s Option Payment Dates .................... The 10 of each month, beginning June 10, 2013. Calculation Agent ............................................. Union Bank, N.A. Scheduled Trading Day.................................... Any day on which all of the Relevant Exchanges and Related Exchanges are scheduled to be open for trading for each security then included in the Investment Benchmark. CUSIP .............................................................. 90521AMP0 Placement Fee ................................................. The MLCDs will be distributed through Participating Brokers. Participating Brokers will receive a Placement Fee from the Bank of up to 2.75% of the aggregate Deposit Amount of the MLCDs sold. 3
  • 4. Illustrative Examples The following examples are provided for illustration purposes only and are hypothetical. They are not representative of every possible scenario concerning the Quarterly Percentage Changes of the Investment Benchmark. The Bank cannot predict the Closing Value of the Investment Benchmark on any Scheduled Trading Day. The assumptions the Bank has made in connection with the illustrations set forth below may not reflect actual events, and the hypothetical quarterly index values of the Investment Benchmark for each Observation Date used in the illustrations below may not be the actual quarterly index values of the Investment Benchmark for each such Observation Date. The examples assume a quarterly cap of 4.00%* on the Quarterly Percentage Changes in the Investment Benchmark. You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Investment Benchmark or rate of return on the MLCD. The following examples indicate how and whether the Indexed Interest Amount would be calculated and paid with respect to a hypothetical $1,000 Deposit Amount in the MLCDs. These examples assume that there is no early redemption, that the MLCDs are held to maturity, and the following: Quarterly Percentage The lesser of: Change: (i) the (Final Quarterly Value – Initial Quarterly Value) Initial Quarterly Value, and (ii) the 4.00% quarterly cap*. Indexed Interest Amount: The sum of the 20 Quarterly Percentage Changes of the Investment Benchmark multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Date. Maximum Indexed Interest 80.00%** multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Amount: Maturity Date. This equates to a 12.47% APY. Minimum Indexed Interest 2.50% multiplied by the outstanding Deposit Amount on the Maturity Amount Date. This equates to a 0.49% APY. Payment at Maturity: The Deposit Amount plus the greater of (i) the Indexed Interest Amount or (ii) the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount. *The actual quarterly cap on the Quarterly Percentage Changes will be determined on the Pricing Date, subject to the 4.00% - 5.00% range herein, and will not be less than 4.00%. **The actual Maximum Indexed Interest Amount will be determined on the Pricing Date, subject to the 80.00% - 100.00% range herein, and will not be less than 80.00%. 4

Although the Quarterly Percentage Change is capped at 4.00%, the Final Quarterly Value for that quarter is the Initial Quarterly Value for the immediately succeeding quarter regardless of the application of the quarterly cap. In Example 1, we assume that the Investment Benchmark increases by 30% from the Closing Value on the Pricing Date to the Final Observation Date for each hypothetical scenario. However, the Payment at Maturity in Scenario A of $1,267.46. exceeds the Payment at Maturity in Scenario B of $1,025.00. Example 1 illustrates that even though the appreciation of the Investment Benchmark from the Pricing Date to the Final Observation Date is the same in both scenarios, the Payments at Maturity differ because (a) the Indexed Interest Amount and Payment at Maturity depends on the Quarterly Percentage Changes and the Values of the Investment Benchmark on certain Observation Dates during the term of the MLCD, rather than on the appreciation of the Investment Benchmark from the Pricing Date to the Final Observation Date; (b) the Quarterly Percentage Changes are subject to a 4.00% quarterly cap; and (c) negative Quarterly Percentage Changes are used in determing the Indexed Interest Amount. 5

Example 2 illustrates that the Indexed Interest Amount 27-Jan-14 944.58 937.88 -0.71% may be negative or less than the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount even if the Investment Benchmark appreciates from the 25-Apr-14 937.88 926.62 -1.20% Pricing Date to the Final Observation Date because (a) the 25-Jul-14 926.62 1158.28 4.00% * Indexed Interest Amount and Payment at Maturity depends on 27-Oct-14 1158.28 1111.37 -4.05% the Quarterly Percentage Changes and the Values of the Investment Benchmark on certain Observation Dates during the 26-Jan-15 1111.37 1070.02 -3.72% term of the MLCD, rather than on the appreciation of the 27-Apr-15 1070.02 1337.53 4.00% * Investment Benchmark from the Pricing Date to the Final 27-Jul-15 1337.53 1292.99 -3.33% Observation Date; (b) the Quarterly Percentage Changes are 26-Oct-15 1292.99 1200.93 -7.12% subject to a 4.00% quarterly cap; and (c) negative Quarterly Percentage Changes are used in determining the Indexed 25-Jan-16 1200.93 1200.21 -0.06% Interest Amount. 25-Apr-16 1200.21 1223.49 1.94% 25-Jul-16 1223.49 1249.06 2.09% The likelihood that on the Maturity Date you will receive only the 25-Oct-16 1249.06 1299.23 4.00% * return of your Deposit Amount and the Minimum Indexed Interest 25-Jan-17 1299.23 1377.18 4.00% * Amount increases as the number of negative Quarterly Percentage Changes increases. You may receive only your 25-Apr-17 1377.18 1514.90 4.00% * Deposit Amount and the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount even 25-Jul-17 1514.90 1613.37 4.00% * if the Value of the Gold Spot Price increases, resulting in a 25-Oct-17 1613.37 1936.04 4.00% * Closing Value on the Final Observation Date that exceeds the 25-Jan-18 1936.04 2071.56 4.00% * Closing Value on the Pricing Date. In fact, if the Gold Spot Price declines in any single quarter resulting in a negative Quarterly 25-Apr-18 2071.56 2000.00 -3.45% Percentage Change that equals or exceeds -73.50% in these Sum of the Quarterly Percentage Changes -30.39% hypothetical examples, you would receive only the Minimum Quarterly Cap * 4.00% Indexed Interest Amount on the Maturity Date, regardless of the Indexed Interest Amount ($303.94) amount of the increases in the Gold Spot Price on subsequent Observation Dates. In that case, at maturity, you would receive Minimum Indexed Interest Amount $25.00 only the Deposit Amount of the MLCDs plus the Minimum Indexed Maximum Indexed Interest Amount $800.00 Interest Amount at maturity, or $1,025.00 in this example. Payment at Maturity $1,025.00 APY 0.49% *Quarterly Percentage Changes for these Observation Dates have been reduced to reflect the hypothetical quarterly cap of 4.00% (the actual cap will be determined on the Pricing Date subject to the 4.00% - 5.00% range herein). Although the Quarterly Percentage Change is capped at 4.00%, the Final Quarterly Value for that quarter is the Initial Quarterly Value for the immediately succeeding quarter regardless of the application of the quarterly cap. 6
  • 7. Investment Benchmark Overview The value of gold to which the return on the MLCD is linked is the spot price of gold in U.S. dollars as determined at 3:00 p.m. London time by a committee of market making members of the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”). The five members of the committee are Barclays Capital, Scotia Mocatta, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, and HSBC Investment Banking Group. The fix is carried out twice a day, at 10:30 am and 3:00 pm London local time via telephone by the five members. Information as of market close on March 29, 2013 Bloomberg Ticker Symbol: GOLDLNPM Cmdty Current Price (03/29/2013): $1,598.25 Source: Bloomberg The London Bullion Market London is the focus of the international Over-the-Counter (OTC) market for gold, with a client base that includes the majority of the central banks that hold gold, plus producers, refiners, fabricators and other traders throughout the world. Members of the London bullion market typically trade with each other and with their clients on a principal-to-principal basis, which means that all risks, including those of credit, are between the two counterparts to a transaction. This is known as an ‘Over the Counter’ (OTC) market, as opposed to an exchange traded environment. The London bullion market is a wholesale market, where minimum traded amounts for clients are generally 1,000 ounces of gold. Unlike a futures exchange – where trading is based around standard contract units, settlement dates and delivery specifications – the OTC market allows flexibility. It also provides confidentiality, as transactions are conducted between the two principals involved. 7
  • 8. Historical Closing Values of Gold Since its inception, the Investment Benchmark has experienced significant fluctuations. Any historical upward or downward trend in the Gold Spot Price during any period shown below is not an indication that the Gold Spot Price is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the MLCDs. The historical values do not give an indication of the future performance of the Gold Spot Price. The Bank cannot assure you that the future performance of the Gold Spot Price will result in holders of the MLCDs receiving an amount greater than the outstanding deposit amount of the MLCDs and the Minimum Indexed Interest Amount on the maturity date. 10 Year Historical Price Graph (Daily) 2,000 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 8

  • 10. Market Disruption Events “Market Disruption Event” means a Price Source Disruption, Trading Disruption, Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price, Material Change in Formula or Tax Disruption. • “Price Source Disruption” means (i) the failure of the Price Source to announce or publish the Gold Value (or the information necessary for determining the Gold Value) or (ii) the temporary or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the Price Source. • “Trading Disruption” means the material suspension of, or material limitation imposed on, trading in gold or a related futures contract, options contract or commodity on the London bullion market or the relevant exchange, as applicable. • “Disappearance of Commodity Reference Price” means (i) the permanent discontinuation of trading in a Gold- related futures contract, options contract or commodity on the London bullion market or the relevant exchange, as applicable, or (ii) the disappearance or permanent discontinuance or unavailability of the Gold Value, notwithstanding the availability of the Price Source or the status of trading in Gold or in a related futures contract, options contract or commodity. • “Material Change in Formula” means the occurrence since the pricing date of a material change in the formula for or the method of calculating the Gold Spot Price. • “Tax Disruption” means the imposition of, change in or removal of an excise, severance, sales, use, value- added, transfer, stamp, documentary, recording or similar tax on, or measured by reference to, Gold (other than a tax on, or measured by reference to overall gross or net income) by any government or taxation authority after the pricing date, if the direct effect of the applicable imposition, change or removal is to raise or lower the Gold Value on the day that would otherwise be a Measurement Date from what it would have been without that imposition, change or removal. If a Market Disruption occurs or exists on the valuation date set forth above for the MLCDs, the Calculation Agent may determine the Gold Value (or the method for determining the Gold Value), taking into consideration the latest available quotation for the Gold Value and any other information that in good faith it deems relevant. The Calculation Agent may make this determination in such manner as it deems appropriate, and its determination will be binding. 10
  • 11. Additional Risk Factors Investing in the MLCDs involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the MLCDs in the “Risk Factors” section of the attached Disclosure Statement. The Bank also encourages you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors before investing in the MLCDs. • The Indexed Interest Amount is based solely on the change in the Investment Benchmark from the Initial Closing Value to the Final Closing Value . No interim changes in the Investment Benchmark, including increases, will be considered in determining the Indexed Interest Amount. • Although the return on the MLCDs is linked to the performance of the Investment Benchmark, you will not have any rights with respect to gold or any related futures contracts. • The MLCDs will not be regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. • The Indexed Interest Amount will be subject to market volatility and risks relating to gold. Gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors. These include economic factors, including the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations of the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is generally quoted), interest rates and gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial, or other events. Gold prices may also be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand, lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold, levels of gold production and production costs, and short- term changes in supply and demand because of trading activities in the gold market. It is not possible to predict the aggregate effect of all or any combination of these factors. • The Gold Spot Price is determined by the LBMA. The LBMA is a self regulatory association of bullion market participants. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of the LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. The LBMA Gold Value will not necessarily be consistent with other valuations of gold, such as those determined by reference to futures contracts on gold. • The price of gold could be adversely affected by the promulgation of new laws or regulations or by the reinterpretation of existing laws or regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to taxes and duties on commodities or commodity components) by one or more governments, governmental agencies or instrumentalities, courts, or other official bodies. Any event of this kind could adversely affect the Gold Spot Price and, as a result, could adversely affect the value of the MLCDs. . 11
  • 12. UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, you are hereby notified that (a) any discussion of United States federal tax issues in this Disclosure Supplement is not intended or written to be relied upon, and cannot be relied upon by you for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on you under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (b) this discussion is included herein by the Bank in connection with the promotion or marketing (within the meaning of Circular 230) by the Bank, UBIS and the Offering Brokers of the transactions or matters addressed in this Disclosure Supplement, and (c) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. The following discussion supplements (and, to the extent inconsistent with, supersedes) and should be read in conjunction with the discussion in the attached Disclosure Statement under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.” For purposes of that discussion, the MLCDs are “long-term MLCDs.” The table below sets forth the following information with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of the MLCDs for each of the indicated accrual periods through the maturity dates of the MLCDs: • the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period; • the amount of interest deemed to have accrued during the accrual period; and • the total amount of interest deemed to have accrued from the original issue date through the end of the accrual period. The table is based upon a hypothetical projected payment schedule (including both a hypothetical Indexed Interest Amount and a hypothetical comparable yield equal to 1.99% per annum (compounded annually), which is the Bank’s current estimate of the comparable yield, based upon market conditions as of the date of this Supplement) as determined by the Bank for purposes of illustrating the application of the Code and the Treasury regulations to the MLCDs. The comparable yield will not be less than the “applicable federal rate” based on the overall maturity of the MLCD. This tax accrual table is based upon a hypothetical projected payment schedule per $1,000 principal amount of the MLCDs, which would consist of a single payment of $1,103.57 at maturity. This payment consists of the principal amount and a projection for tax purposes of the estimated Indexed Interest Amount. The actual “projected payment schedule” will be completed on the Pricing Date of the MLCDs, and included in the final Supplement. This information is provided solely for tax purposes, and the Bank makes no representations or predictions as to what the actual Indexed Interest Amount will be. The following table is for illustrative purposes only. The Bank will determine the actual projected payment schedule and the actual comparable yield on the Pricing Date. The tax accrual table will be revised accordingly and will be set forth in the final Supplement. The tax accrual table will depend upon actual market interest rates (and accordingly, the Bank’s borrowing costs for debt instruments with comparable maturities) as determined on the Pricing Date. Total Interest Deemed Interest Deemed to to Have Accrued from Adjusted Issue Price Accrue on the MLCDs Original Issue Date as at Beginning of During the Accrual of End of Accrual Accrual Period Accrual Period Period (1) Period April 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013 1,000.00 13.27 13.27 January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 1,013.27 20.16 33.43 January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 1,033.43 20.57 54.00 January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 1,054.00 20.97 74.97 January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 1,074.97 21.39 96.36 January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2018 1,096.36 7.21 103.57 (1) Represents the adjusted issue price at the beginning of the accrual period multiplied by the hypothetical comparable yield for the accrual period. Final Adjusted Issue Price = $1,103.57 per $1,000 principal amount of MLCDs. Upon payment at maturity, you will be required to adjust the income accrued pursuant to the projected payment schedule, upward or downward, to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected amount of the maturity payment. You generally will treat any such gain as ordinary income and any such loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous income inclusions. All prospective investors in the MLCDs should consult their own tax advisors concerning the taxation of the MLCDs. 12
  • 13. DISCLOSURE STATEMENT dated January 30, 2013 UNION BANK, N.A. Market-Linked Certificates of Deposit Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) may from time to time offer market-linked certificates of deposit (“MLCDs”) with maturities of at least seven calendar days. The returns on the MLCDs will be linked to one or more Investment Benchmarks, as described below. This Disclosure Statement contains the general terms and conditions that will apply to the MLCDs. The specific terms and conditions applicable to a particular MLCD offering will be described in greater detail in the applicable Disclosure Supplement (“Supplement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the Disclosure Statement and the Supplement, the terms of the Supplement will control. Payments on the MLCDs Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement and unlike traditional certificates of deposit and other debt instruments, the Bank will make a payment on the maturity date of the MLCDs (the “Indexed Interest Amount”) that is related to changes in (i) the value or values of one or more indices based on the prices of securities, (ii) the exchange rates of one or more specified currencies or currency indices, (iii) the value or values of one or more commodities or commodity indices, (iv) the price or prices of the shares of one or more exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) based on any of the forgoing or on any other types of assets or (v) any other measure of economic or financial performance. With respect to each MLCD, the applicable assets or market measures are referred to as the “Investment Benchmark.” (For example, in the case of an MLCD linked to the price of shares of an ETF, the Investment Benchmark will be the relevant ETF.) The Supplement for the MLCDs will specify the applicable Investment Benchmark and how the Indexed Interest Amount will be calculated. The Indexed Interest Amount may be calculated based upon values observed on one or more dates that are close to the maturity date of the MLCDs, or periodically over the term of the MLCD, and may be subject to a cap. As a result, the payments received on the MLCD may be substantially less than any change in the value of the Investment Benchmark, and these features may generally negatively affect your investment return. In addition, if the Supplement does not provide for a Minimum Indexed Interest Amount, as defined below, you may receive no interest payment or return of any kind on your MLCDs, other than the repayment of the Deposit Amount (as defined below). If the MLCD is held to maturity, the Bank will pay no less than the full Deposit Amount. Liquidity Although the Bank or its affiliates may purchase the MLCDs from you in the secondary market, they are not obligated to do so. The Bank and its affiliates are not obligated to, and do not intend to, make a market for the MLCDs. There is no assurance that a secondary market for the MLCDs will develop or, if it develops, that it will continue. Consequently, you may not be able to sell your MLCDs readily or at prices that will enable you to realize your desired yield. Only MLCDs held to maturity or MLCDs that are subject to a permitted early withdrawal in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of a beneficial owner of the MLCD will be entitled to the return of the full Deposit Amount. If you sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, you may receive less than the full amount of your Deposit Amount. The MLCDs are designed to be held to maturity, and funds that you need prior to maturity should not be invested in MLCDs. Deposit Insurance The MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank, the deposits and accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) up to certain statutory limits and in accordance with certain limitations and restrictions. The “Deposit Insurance” section below contains a general description of the federal deposit insurance limitations and restrictions as applied to the MLCDs. The amount of deposit insurance available to you for MLCDs you purchase will depend on a number of factors, including the capacity in which you hold the MLCDs and whether you hold any other deposits at the Bank in the same capacity. A depositor purchasing a principal amount of MLCDs that is in excess of the described limits or which, together with other deposits that it maintains at the Bank in the same ownership capacity, is in excess of such limits should not rely on the availability of deposit insurance with respect to such excess. To the extent you maintain deposits with the Bank in excess of the FDIC limits, you are relying solely on the Bank’s ability to pay the principal amount of the MLCD. You are responsible for monitoring the total amount of deposits that you hold at the Bank in the same ownership capacity in order to determine the extent of FDIC insurance coverage available to you on the MLCDs. In addition, the FDIC has taken the position that any Indexed Interest Amount and Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (until such amounts are contractually accrued on the books and records of the Bank) and any secondary market premium paid by a depositor above the principal amount of the MLCDs are not insured by the FDIC. Therefore, you are relying solely on the Bank’s ability to pay the Indexed Interest Amount and Minimum Indexed Interest Amount, if any, until such time as such amounts are contractually accrued on the books and records of the Bank. See “Deposit Insurance” herein. Survivor’s Option If so specified in the Supplement, withdrawals will be permitted prior to the maturity date in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of the beneficial owner of the MLCD. This right is called a “Survivor’s Option” and upon the valid election of this right, the Bank will repay 100% of the principal amount of the MLCD; however, the Bank will not pay any Indexed Interest Amount or Minimum Indexed Interest Amount. See “Survivor’s Option” herein. Tax Treatment Most United States holders of the MLCDs, other than those purchasing the MLCDs through a tax advantaged retirement account (such as an IRA), are subject to tax rules requiring them to include in their taxable income during each tax year in which the MLCDs are outstanding imputed interest income on the MLCDs even though interest, if any, may not be paid on the MLCDs until maturity. See “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” herein. Risk Factors In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Bank and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. You should reach an investment decision only after carefully considering, together with your financial, legal and tax advisors, the suitability of an investment in an MLCD in light of your financial circumstances. You will be subject to risks, including risks not associated with conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or debt instruments. See “Risk Factors” herein and “Risks and Considerations” in the applicable Supplement for more information on the risks associated with the MLCDs. MLCDs Are Obligations of the Bank The MLCDs are obligations solely of the Bank, and are not obligations of and are not guaranteed by UnionBanCal Corporation, UnionBanc Investment Services, LLC (“UBIS”) or any other affiliate or subsidiary of the bank. The MLCDs are not, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are not required to be so registered. The MLCDs have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement or any Supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Offering Brokers The MLCDs will be made available through UBIS and may be made available through certain other brokers (together, the “Offering Brokers”). UBIS is a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor, member FINRA/SIPC, and a subsidiary of the Bank. Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement 1

  • 15. Summary This Disclosure Statement, along with the applicable Supplement, describes the terms of the MLCDs offered. These documents contain information you should consider when making your investment decision and you should rely solely on the information contained in this Disclosure Statement and the applicable Supplement. To the extent that any of the information in the Supplement is inconsistent with the information contained in this Disclosure Statement, the applicable Supplement will control. Neither the Bank nor UBIS has authorized anyone to provide you with any additional information. If any such information is provided to you, you should not rely on it. The information contained in this Disclosure Statement and any Supplement may not be modified by any oral representation made before or after purchase of an MLCD. You should consider carefully the information contained in “Risk Factors” beginning on the next page. This Disclosure Statement and the applicable Supplement do not constitute an offer or solicitation by anyone in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making the offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to any person for whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. The information contained in this Disclosure Statement and the applicable Supplement may only be accurate as of the dates of such documents. You should not interpret the delivery of this Disclosure Statement or the applicable Supplement or the sale of the MLCDs as an indication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein or therein since those dates. Issuer Union Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) Calculation Agent Union Bank, N.A. MLCDs Market-linked certificates of deposit, issued by the Bank from time to time and as described herein and in the applicable Supplement. See “General Description of the MLCDs.” The MLCDs will be in the form of a master certificate held through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). See “Evidence of the Deposits.” Payments MLCDs are deposit obligations of the Bank. Upon maturity, the bank will return to you the full deposit amount of your MLCDs (the “Deposit Amount”). Unlike traditional certificates of deposit and other debt instruments, the Bank will make a payment on the maturity date of the MLCDs (and such other dates as may be set forth in the applicable Supplement) based on changes in an Investment Benchmark (the “Indexed Interest Amount”). If so specified in the applicable Supplement, the MLCDs may also accrue and provide for periodic payments of interest at a specified rate (the “Periodic Interest Payments”). See “General Description of the MLCDs – Payments on the MLCDs.” Additions and Withdrawals; Generally, additions and withdrawals are not permitted. If so specified in the applicable Early Redemption Supplement, a series of MLCDs may have an early redemption feature, in which case the amount of the payment on the MLCDs will be determined prior to maturity and an early redemption penalty (the “Early Redemption Penalty”) may apply (the “Early Redemption Amount”), and/or a Survivor’s Option, as described below. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Additions and Withdrawals,” “– Early Redemption and Early Redemption Penalty” and “– Survivor’s Option.” Survivor’s Option If so specified in the applicable Supplement, withdrawals will be permitted prior to the maturity date in the event of the death or adjudicated incompetence of the beneficial owner of an MLCD. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Survivor’s Option.” Investment Benchmark The Investment Benchmark and the method for calculating the Indexed Interest Amount will be set forth in the applicable Supplement. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Information with Respect to the Investment Benchmark.” Minimum Denomination Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Supplement, denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. See “General Description of the MLCDs – Minimum Denominations.” Transfers If you choose to terminate your Offering Broker as nominee, authorized representative, agent or custodian with regard to an MLCD, you may (i) transfer your MLCDs to another broker- dealer or other institution which is a direct or indirect DTC participant (the “Transferee Broker,” which together with the Offering Broker, is collectively referred to herein as “Broker”) or (ii) request that your ownership of the MLCD be evidenced directly on the books of the Bank, subject to applicable law and the Bank’s terms and conditions, including those related to the manner of evidencing MLCD ownership. In the event that your ownership of the MLCD is evidenced directly on the books of the Bank, the term “Broker” as used herein shall include the Bank to the extent applicable.

  • 16. Risk Factors Your purchase of an MLCD involves significant risks, including risks not associated with fixed-rate or floating-rate certificates of deposit or debt instruments. You should not purchase the MLCDs unless you understand and are able to bear the risks associated with the MLCDs which are included in this Disclosure Statement and any applicable Supplement. You should compare the features of the MLCDs to other available investments before deciding to purchase an MLCD. Due to the uncertainty as to whether the MLCDs will earn an Indexed Interest Amount, the return you receive with respect to an MLCD may be higher or lower than the returns on other deposits or investments available from the Offering Brokers or the Bank or through other investments. You should reach an investment decision only after carefully considering, together with your financial, legal and tax advisors, the suitability of an investment in an MLCD in light of your financial circumstances. Depositors May Not Be Entitled to Receive any Interest Even if the MLCD Is Held to Maturity Unless the Supplement specifies a Minimum Indexed Interest Amount (as defined below) or Periodic Interest Payments, you will not receive any other return at maturity if the value of the Investment Benchmark does not change so as to produce an Indexed Interest Amount greater than zero. If the Indexed Interest Amount is not greater than zero, at maturity you will receive only the Deposit Amount of your MLCDs plus any Periodic Interest Payments or Minimum Indexed Interest Amount specified in the related Supplement. It is possible you will receive no Indexed Interest Amount, even though the value of the Investment Benchmark on the maturity date is greater than the value of the Investment Benchmark on the issue date of your MLCDs. For example, if the Indexed Interest Amount is calculated based on an average of the value of the Investment Benchmark observed at specified intervals during the term of the MLCD, one or more low values may offset any earlier or later increases, resulting in an Indexed Interest Amount of zero. If your MLCDs are subject to any knock-out event or similar event pursuant to their terms that eliminates any Indexed Interest Amount, your Indexed Interest Amount will be zero if the Investment Benchmark is at specified values at any time during the term of your MLCDs, even if the value of the Investment Benchmark is not at those specified values at other times or at maturity. You must carefully read the applicable Supplement to determine the circumstances under which your Indexed Interest Amount will be limited, or will be zero. Your Return May Be Less Than the Return You Could Earn on Alternative Investments or on a Direct Investment in the Investment Benchmark or Any of Its Components Your return on the MLCDs, if any, may be lower than the return you could receive on a conventional certificate of deposit or debt instrument of comparable maturity and on other alternative investments available. Your return, if any, may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money. In part, this is because you have lost the use of the Deposit Amount for the term of the MLCDs. Further, your return on the MLCDs, if any, may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Investment Benchmark or any of its components. For example, the payment on the maturity date of an MLCD does not include any dividends paid on any securities included in an Investment Benchmark that is a securities index or any dividends paid on an ETF that is an Investment Benchmark. Further, the Indexed Interest Amount may be calculated based upon observing the value of the Investment Benchmark over the term of the MLCDs, at one point in time or at intervals prior to maturity, may be based on participating in the performance of the Investment Benchmark at a rate that is less than 1.00, or may be otherwise capped. If the Investment Benchmark includes any non-U.S. indices or securities, your return on the MLCDs will not be adjusted to reflect the returns that you would have received had you made a direct investment in such Investment Benchmark or its components, and its value increased or decreased due to changes in the applicable currency exchange rates. The Price at Which You May Sell the MLCDs Prior to Maturity May Be Substantially Less Than Your Deposit Amount In connection with any proposed secondary market sale or early redemption (if applicable) of your MLCDs, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable), respectively, will likely differ from the amount that you would receive at maturity. A variety of factors will influence the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). A change in one factor could offset the effect of a change in one of the other factors, such that there may be no determinable net effect on the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). An adverse movement in one or more of the factors could result in the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) being substantially less than your original Deposit Amount. For example, the effect from an increase in the value of the Investment Benchmark may be offset by an increase in interest rates on the sale price or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Additionally, an Early Redemption Penalty may factor into the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Investment Benchmark. Changes in the value of the Investment Benchmark from its initial value on the issue date are anticipated to have a substantial impact on the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Even if the value of the Investment Benchmark has increased from its initial value, upon any proposed secondary market sale or early redemption, you may still receive substantially less than the amount that would be payable at maturity based upon that same value due to the expectation that the value of the Investment Benchmark will continue to fluctuate until the maturity date. Volatility of the Investment Benchmark. Volatility is the term used to describe the size and frequency of fluctuations in the value of the Investment Benchmark. If the volatility of the Investment Benchmark increases or decreases, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may be adversely affected. Interest Rates. Changes in interest rates will affect the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Generally, if interest rates increase, the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may decrease, and if interest rates decrease, the sale price for your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may increase. Interest rates may also directly or indirectly impact the value of the Investment Benchmark, which would affect the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable).

  • 17. Dividend Yield. If the Investment Benchmark is a securities index or an ETF, the price at which you may sell MLCDs prior to maturity and the and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) may also be affected by the dividend yields, if any, on the components of the Investment Benchmark (such as the securities included in an index or the securities held by an ETF). Because a depositor in the MLCD is not entitled to the value of dividend payments, an increase in dividend yields may reduce the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable), while a decrease in dividend yields may increase the sale price and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Time Remaining to the Applicable Maturity Date. As the time remaining to maturity of MLCDs decreases, the “time premium” associated with them will decrease. Before maturity, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs may be above that which would be expected based on the levels of market interest rates and the value of the applicable Investment Benchmark. This difference will reflect a “time premium” due to expectations concerning the value of the Investment Benchmark during the period before the applicable maturity date. In general, as the time remaining to maturity decreases, we expect that this “time premium” may decrease, lowering the sale price for your MLCDs and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Events Affecting or Involving the Investment Benchmark. Economic, financial, regulatory, judicial, political and other developments that affect the value of the Investment Benchmark or its components, and real or anticipated changes in those factors, also may affect the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable). Neither You Nor the Bank Has Rights in the Investment Benchmarks or Any of Its Components Your interest in an MLCD does not entitle you to the rights of a holder of the Investment Benchmark or any of its components. As a result:  if your Investment Benchmark is linked to a securities index or an ETF, you will not have any rights in the components of the index or the applicable ETF or the securities that it holds, including voting rights, the right to receive interest, dividends or other distributions or any other rights in any of those securities; and  if your Investment Benchmark is linked to a commodity, commodity index, currency or futures contract, or commodity ETF, purchasing the MLCDs will not make you a holder of any commodity, currency or futures contract relating to the Investment Benchmark or its underlying components or assets. The MLCDs will be paid in U.S. dollars, and you will have no right to receive delivery of any commodity, currency or futures contract relating to an Investment Benchmark. Limited Liquidity Prior to Maturity When you purchase an MLCD, you agree with the Bank to keep your funds on deposit for the term of the MLCD. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, you will not have the right to withdraw any portion of the Deposit Amount prior to the maturity date. Neither the Offering Brokers nor the Bank can assure you that you will be able to sell your MLCDs in the secondary market prior to its maturity date. Therefore, you should not rely on any such ability to sell your MLCDs prior to its maturity date for any benefits, including achieving trading profits, limiting trading or other losses, realizing income or having access to the proceeds. Even if a secondary market does develop, it may not provide significant liquidity, and it is unlikely that the secondary market value of the MLCDs will correlate closely with the value of the Investment Benchmark. If you sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, you may not receive the full amount of your Deposit Amount. The MLCDs will not be listed on any national exchange or quoted on any U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system or traded in the over-the-counter market. Secondary Market Prices May Be Affected by Fees and Hedging Costs Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which a party will be willing to purchase MLCDs in secondary market transactions and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) likely will be lower, perhaps significantly lower, than the original issue price. This is in part because the original issue price includes, and secondary market prices (if available) and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) are likely to exclude, the effect of placement fees paid to a Participating Broker, Issuer Program Costs (as defined below) paid to or recognized by the Bank and the anticipated profit to hedge providers included in hedging the Bank’s obligations under the MLCDs. The anticipated cost of hedging the Bank’s obligations will be determined by the Bank or its affiliates with the intent to realize a profit. However, because hedging the Bank’s obligations entails exposure to market forces beyond the Bank’s control or its affiliates’ control, these hedging activities may result in a profit that is more or less than initially anticipated, or may result in a loss. Therefore, assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which the Offering Broker will be willing to purchase MLCDs from you and the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) will likely be lower than the original issue price. In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by others’ pricing models as a result of such compensation or other transaction costs. Insolvency of the Bank May Result in Early Payment of Your MLCDs If the FDIC is appointed as conservator or receiver for the Bank, the FDIC is authorized to disaffirm or repudiate certain contracts to which the Bank is a party, the performance of which is determined to be burdensome, and the disaffirmation or repudiation of which is determined to promote the orderly administration of the Bank’s affairs. It appears very likely that for this purpose deposit obligations, such as the MLCDs, are “contracts” within the meaning of the foregoing and that the MLCDs could be repudiated by the FDIC in its capacity as conservator or receiver of the Bank. As a result of any such repudiation, a holder of the MLCDs could be required to make a claim against the FDIC for the Deposit Amount of the MLCDs and follow the FDIC’s claims procedures, which may result in a delay in receiving payment, or the FDIC as conservator or receiver could also transfer the MLCDs to another insured depository institution, without approval or consent of the holder of the MLCDs. A transferee depository institution would likely be permitted to offer holders of the MLCDs the choice of (i) repayment of the Deposit Amount of the MLCDs or (ii) continuation of the MLCD for the remainder of the term, possibly on less favorable Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement 5
  • 18. terms (including the periodic interest rate, if applicable). If an MLCD is paid off prior to maturity, either by a transferee depository institution or the FDIC, you may be unable to reinvest the funds at the same anticipated rate of return on the original MLCD. In any case, no claim would likely be available for any secondary market premium paid by you above the Deposit Amount, any Indexed Interest Amount or other damages such as lost profit or opportunity cost. An Investment Linked to the Shares of an ETF Is Different from an Investment Linked to the Related Underlying Index or Other Assets The performance of the shares of an ETF may not exactly replicate the performance of the related underlying index or other assets held by the ETF because, for example, the ETF may not invest in all of the securities or other assets included in the related underlying index and because the ETF will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the value of the related underlying index or other assets. An ETF may also hold securities or other assets that are not included in the underlying index or other underlying asset, or may also use one or more derivative transactions in an effort to track the performance of the underlying index or other underlying asset, which in each case may impact its performance. It is also possible that an ETF may not fully replicate the performance of the related underlying index or underlying assets due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities or assets in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances. In addition, because the shares of an ETF are traded on a securities exchange and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the price of a share of an ETF may differ from the net asset value per share of such ETF. For the foregoing reasons, the performance of an ETF may not correlate perfectly with the performance of the related underlying index or underlying assets, and the return on the MLCDs based on the performance of an ETF and may be worse than the return on MLCDs or other investments directly linked to the performance of the related underlying index or underlying assets. Investment Benchmark Sponsors Have No Relationship with the MLCDs The Bank will not be affiliated with any Investment Benchmark Sponsor, including the sponsor of any applicable index and any sponsor or investment advisor of an ETF or its underlying index. Similarly, no such party will be involved in any respect with the offering or sale of the MLCDs (except for any licensing arrangements disclosed in the applicable Supplement). The Bank has no ability to control or influence the actions of any such party, including with respect to publicly available information regarding the Investment Benchmark (including any underlying index), any changes to an Investment Benchmark, or any decision by an Investment Benchmark Sponsor or any other such party to discontinue or alter an Investment Benchmark. You will have no rights as a holder of the MLCDs against any such party, even though your MLCDs are linked to the Investment Benchmark. Limited information may be available in the applicable Supplement with respect to the Investment Benchmark and its historical performance based on publicly available information. Neither the Bank nor the Offering Brokers will independently verify publicly available information and they will not make any representation that publicly available information about the Investment Benchmark, the Investment Benchmark Sponsor or any other party is accurate or complete. Neither the Bank nor the Offering Brokers will provide to you updated information or provide information regarding material future events regarding the Investment Benchmark. You should undertake an independent review of the Investment Benchmark before making a decision to purchase an MLCD. We Cannot Control Actions by Any ETF or Any of the Companies Whose Securities Are Included in an Investment Benchmark Actions by any company whose securities are included in an Investment Benchmark, including any ETF or its investment advisor, may have an adverse effect on the value of the applicable securities or the Investment Benchmark, and the amount payable on the MLCDs. Unless otherwise disclosed in the applicable Supplement, although the Bank or its affiliates may from time to time invest in such companies, the Bank will not be affiliated with any company whose security is represented by an Investment Benchmark. These companies will not be involved in the offering of the MLCDs and will have no obligations with respect to the MLCDs, including any obligation to take our or your interests into consideration for any reason. These companies will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the MLCDs and will not be responsible for, and will not have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the MLCDs to be issued. These companies will not be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the MLCDs and will have no obligations with respect to the amounts to be paid to you under the MLCDs. Changes to the Investment Benchmark May Impact the Amount You Receive Prior to and at Maturity The Investment Benchmark Sponsor, including the sponsor of any applicable index and any sponsor or investment advisor of an ETF or its underlying index or assets, will have the ability to make changes that could adversely affect the value of the Investment Benchmark, the price at which you may sell your MLCDs prior to maturity, the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) and the amount of any Indexed Interest Amount. For an Inventment Benchmark that is an index or ETF, such changes could include:  additions, deletions or substitutions of the assets comprising any applicable index or ETF;  making methodological changes to the calculation of the value of any applicable index or ETF; or  suspending or discontinuing calculation or publication of the trading levels or values of any applicable index or ETF. The Historical Performance of the Investment Benchmark Is Not an Indication of the Future Performance of the Investment Benchmark The historical performance of the Investment Benchmark, which is included in the applicable Supplement, should not be taken as an Union Bank, N.A. — Market Linked Certificates of Deposit — Disclosure Statement 6
