PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments

Background

At the recommendation of UBS AM, the Board appointed Cohen & Steers as a new subadvisor for the Fund, approved the Subadvisory Agreement, and terminated MFS as subadvisor for the Fund, at a meeting held on May 19-20, 2026. Cohen & Steers assumed investment advisory responsibilities and the Subadvisory Agreement became effective on July 17, 2026. The Trustees determined to approve the Subadvisory Agreement after a thorough analysis of the proposed services to be provided by Cohen & Steers. The material factors considered by the Trustees in approving the Subadvisory Agreement are set forth below under "PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments-Trustees' considerations."

Investment strategies of Cohen & Steers

In managing the Fund's portfolio, Cohen & Steers adheres to an integrated, bottom-up, relative value investment process when selecting publicly traded real estate securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, Cohen & Steers utilizes a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on price-to-net asset value ("NAV"), cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a dividend discount model ("DDM"). Analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative analysis in their NAV, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of the commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to global macroeconomic factors, risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models' output and drive the portfolio managers' investment decisions.

The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance ("ESG") outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, Cohen & Steers may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making. Cohen & Steers utiliz‐

1

es data from third-party ESG research providers to assess sustainability and/or ESG risks. ESG data and research can be inaccurate, based on limited inputs and subjective and thus presents risks. Cohen & Steers' portfolio managers may still invest in securities which present sustainability and/or ESG risks, including where the portfolio managers believe the potential compensation outweighs the risks identified.

New Subadvisory Agreement

Under the Subadvisory Agreement, subject to the supervision and direction of the Trustees and review by UBS AM and any written guidelines adopted by the Board or UBS AM, Cohen & Steers will provide a continuous investment program for the Fund including investment research and discretionary management with respect to all securities and investments and cash equivalents, and make decisions with respect to, and place orders for, all purchases and sales of the Fund's investments, all in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the Trust's currently effective registration statement under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment Company Act").

Under the Subadvisory Agreement, Cohen & Steers will bear all expenses incurred by it in connection with its services to the Fund, but Cohen & Steers will not be responsible for any expenses incurred by the Trust, the Fund, or UBS AM.

For the services provided and the expenses assumed by Cohen & Steers under the Subadvisory Agreement, UBS AM (not the Fund) will pay to Cohen & Steers a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, based on an annual percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The Subadvisory Agreement will remain in effect for two years after its effective date and will continue thereafter for successive periods of twelve months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (i) by a vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a

2

meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (ii) by the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

The Subadvisory Agreement provides that it will terminate automatically in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the Investment Company Act, or upon the termination of the Fund's Management Agreement with UBS AM. The Subadvisory Agreement provides for termination, without payment of any penalty, by vote of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities on 5 days' written notice to Cohen & Steers. UBS AM also may terminate the Subadvisory Agreement, without payment of any penalty: (i) upon 120 days' written notice to Cohen & Steers; (ii) upon material breach by Cohen & Steers of any of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in the Subadvisory Agreement; or (iii) immediately if, in the reasonable judgment of UBS AM, Cohen & Steers becomes unable to discharge its duties and obligations under the Subadvisory Agreement, including circumstances such as financial insolvency or other circumstances that could adversely affect the Fund. The Subadvisory Agreement provides that Cohen & Steers may terminate the Subadvisory Agreement, without payment of any penalty, on 120 days' written notice to UBS AM.

As described below under "Additional Information-SEC Manager of Managers Exemptive Order," UBS AM has received an exemptive order from the SEC enabling it to enter into an investment subadvisory agreement with a subadvisor that has not been approved by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio if certain conditions are met.

The Subadvisory Agreement provides that Cohen & Steers shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund, the Trust or its shareholders or by UBS AM in connection with the matters to which the Subadvisory Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under the Subadvisory Agreement.

Trustees' considerations

Background-At a meeting of the Board of the Trust on May 19-20, 2026, the members of the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the proposed Subadvisory Agreement between UBS AM and Cohen & Steers with respect to the Fund. Management discussed with the Board its proposal to terminate MFS as the current subadvisor and to appoint Cohen & Steers as subadvisor to the Fund. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its funds and UBS AM. The Board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory agreements for this and the other funds of the Trust, including the extensive materials the Board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the funds. The Board also received a memorandum from UBS AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending Cohen & Steers as a subadvisor to the Fund.

In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Subadvisory Agreement-The Board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Cohen & Steers to the Fund took into account the Board's knowledge and familiarity gained as Trustees of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its funds. It reviewed the purposes and investment objective of the Fund and UBS AM's overall plan to meet the Fund's stated purposes and objective. The Board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of Cohen & Steers as a subadvisor to the Fund, including its due diligence concerning Cohen & Steers and its belief that Cohen & Steers' strategy would provide an opportunity to increase the Fund's return potential. The Board also received materials from Cohen & Steers detailing its investment philosophy and spoke with representatives of Cohen & Steers, who discussed with the Board that investment philosophy and process and the backgrounds and qualifications of the portfolio management team. The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund under the proposed Subadvisory Agreement.

4

Subadvisory fee-The Board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual subadvisory fee to be payable by UBS AM to Cohen & Steers in light of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by Cohen & Steers. The Board noted that the proposed contractual subadvisory fee would result in a net decrease in the annualized subadvisory fees paid by UBS AM with respect to the Fund. The Board determined that the proposed subadvisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Fund under the Subadvisory Agreement.

Fund performance-The Board received and considered performance information for the strategy provided by Cohen & Steers. The Board also noted that, as Cohen & Steers would be a new subadvisor to the Fund, the current performance of the Fund was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement.

Advisor profitability-Profitability of Cohen & Steers or its affiliates or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Fund was not a significant factor considered by the Board, as the subadvisory fee would be paid by UBS AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Fund, and not by the Fund.

Economies of scale-The Board noted that, as the subadvisory fee for the Fund would be paid by UBS AM, not by the Fund, consideration of economies of scale specifically with respect to the subadvisory fee was not relevant.

Other benefits to Cohen & Steers-The Board was informed by management that Cohen & Steers' relationship with the Fund would be limited to its provision of subadvisory services to the Fund and that therefore management believed that Cohen & Steers would not receive tangible ancillary benefits as a result of its relationship with the Fund, with the exception of possible benefits from soft dollars (e.g., research credits related to transaction commissions) for the Fund (which would also potentially benefit the Fund). The Board recognized that Cohen & Steers could receive intangible benefits from its associa‐

5

tion with the Fund, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a subadvisor to the Fund after an extensive review process. Similarly, the Fund could benefit from having a subadvisor with an established or well-regarded reputation.

In light of all of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund. No single factor reviewed by the Board was identified by the Board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Subadvisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Additional information

SEC Manager of Managers Exemptive Order

In October 2012, UBS AM and the Trust received an amended exemptive order ("Amended Order") from the SEC exempting them from certain provisions of the Investment Company Act. Specifically, the Amended Order permits the Trust and UBS AM, so long as certain conditions are satisfied, to enter into an investment subadvisory agreement with a subadvisor that has not been approved by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of a portfolio. The Amended Order generally requires that shareholders of each affected portfolio be notified of an investment subadvisory agreement that has been entered into within 90 days of the effectiveness of the investment subadvisory agreement, and that the portfolio make available to shareholders information similar to that which would have been included in a proxy statement to shareholders.
