Understanding a Master Fund's expenses (unaudited)
(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related "feeder funds" should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds' expenses.)
As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand a Master Fund investor's ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024.
Actual expenses
The first line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costs-for example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Because the price of interests in Prime Master Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares of each related feeder fund, your shares of the related feeder fund may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. Prime Master Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares of each related feeder fund under certain circumstances. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. A money market fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the fund's sponsor will provide financial support to a money market fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.

Master Trust
Notes to financial statements
Organization and significant accounting policies
Prime Master Fund, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund (each a "Master Fund", collectively, the "Master Funds") are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Trust is a series mutual fund with six series.
Prime Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime CNAV Master Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016, Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016, and 100% US Treasury Master Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.
UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC ("UBS AM") (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
Master Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
Each Master Fund may issue any number of interests and each interest shall have a par value of $0.001 per interest. The interests of a Master Fund shall represent a proportional beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that series. Each holder of interests of a Master Fund shall be entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of all distributions made with respect to such Master Fund according to the investor's ownership percentage of such Master Fund on the record date established for payment. Upon redemption of interests, an investor shall be paid solely out of the assets and property of such Master Fund. Beneficial interests in the Trust are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since such interests are issued in private placement transactions.
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Master Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments
Consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended ("Rule 2a-7"), the net asset value of Prime Master Fund is calculated using market-based values, and the price of its beneficial interests fluctuate.
Under Rule 2a-7, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund have adopted certain policies that enable them to use the amortized cost method of valuation. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund, have adopted a policy to operate as "government money market funds". Under Rule 2a-7, a "government money market
41
Master Trust
Notes to financial statements
fund" invests 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash and/or government securities). Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund operate as "retail money market funds". Under Rule 2a-7, a "retail money market fund" is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As "government money market funds" and as "retail money market funds", Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund value their investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trust's Board of Trustees (the"Board") pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.
The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the "VC") to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Funds' portfolios of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid investments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current market value. The need to fair value a Master Fund's portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investment's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investments are purchased and sold.
Each Master Fund's portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Fund's beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to each Master Fund's use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment company's prospectus or similar documents.
US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Master Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1-Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2-Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.
Level 3-Unobservable inputs inclusive of each Master Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of each Master Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Notes to financial statements
Liquidity fee-Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from each of Prime Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund under certain circumstances. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount an interest holder receives upon redemption of its beneficial interests. Prime Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund retains the liquidity fees for the benefit of its remaining interest holders. For the period ended April 30, 2024, the Board of Prime Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund did not impose any liquidity fees.
By operating as "government money market funds", Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.
Repurchase agreements-The Master Funds may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Master Funds maintain custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through their regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Master Funds and their counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by a fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Master Funds generally have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. Moreover, repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under Rule 2a-7 or a fund's investment strategies and limitations may require the Master Fund to promptly dispose of such collateral if the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent. If the seller (or seller's guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Master Funds may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Each Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.
The Master Funds may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Prime Master Fund, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund and Prime CNAV Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies; Tax-Free Master Fund generally would only engage in repurchase agreement transactions as temporary or defensive investments.
Under certain circumstances, a Master Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Master Fund potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Investment transactions and investment income-Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Notes to financial statements
Concentration of risk-The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.
Deferred offering costs-Offering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with organizing and registering a fund. With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.
Investment advisor and administrator
UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to each Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract ("Management Contract") approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, each Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee ("management fee"), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of each Master Fund's average daily net assets:
Average daily net assets | Annual rate | |||
Up to $30 billion | 0.1000 | % | ||
In excess of $30 billion up to $40 billion | 0.0975 | |||
In excess of $40 billion up to $50 billion | 0.0950 | |||
In excess of $50 billion up to $60 billion | 0.0925 | |||
Over $60 billion | 0.0900 |
At April 30, 2024, each Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:
Fund | Net amount owed to/(owed by) UBS AM | |||
Prime Master Fund | $ | 1,670,807 | ||
Government Master Fund | 1,885,888 | |||
Treasury Master Fund | 3,060,506 | |||
100% US Treasury Master Fund | (31,197 | ) | ||
Prime CNAV Master Fund | 1,112,216 | |||
Tax-Free Master Fund | 73,171 |
In exchange for these fees, for each Master Fund except 100% US Treasury Master Fund, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of such Master Funds' expenses other than interest (except interest on borrowings), taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by such Master Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such Master Funds' independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be less than 0.01% of each such Master Fund's average daily net assets.
With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, such Master Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and the offering of its shares. UBS AM has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that this Master Fund's ordinary total operating expenses through March 11, 2025 (excluding, as applicable, (i) dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales and (ii) investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to interestholders' meetings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.10%. The contractual fee waiver agreement also provides that UBS AM is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the reimbursement of UBS AM by 100%

Master Trust
Notes to financial statements
US Treasury Master Fund will not cause such Master Fund to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for such Master Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Trust's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of such Master Fund's management contract with UBS AM.
During the period ended April 30, 2024, UBS AM waived the below amount, which is subject to future recoupment:

Federal tax status
Each Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in a Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that each Master Fund's assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in a Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.
Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same for book purposes; and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) consisted of:
Prime Master Fund
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 560,367 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (1,294,566 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (734,199 | ) |
ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes-Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Master Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of April 30, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended April 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, and since inception for 100% US Treasury Master Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Reorganization of Funds
Following the close of business on February 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Funds was as follows:
Target Fund |
Destination Fund |
|||
Prime Series II Master Fund (formerly, ESG Prime Master Fund) | Prime Master Fund |

Master Trust
Notes to financial statements
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. In exchange, the Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the Target Fund and issued an interest to Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of an interest of the Target Fund for an interest in of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on February 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Feeder Fund's allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Target Fund | Destination Fund |
Dollar Amount |
||||||
Prime Series II Master Fund | Prime Master Fund | $ | 2,276,351,054 |
The net assets of the Target Fund, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Destination Funds. These amounts were as follows:
Target Fund |
Target Fund Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Target Fund Net Assets |
Destination Fund |
Destination Fund Net Assets Prior to Reorganization |
Net Assets After Reorganization |

Assuming the reorganizations had been completed as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of the relevant accounting and performance survivors, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended April 30, 2024 would have been as follows (unaudited):

Subsequent Event
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved the conversion of Prime Master Fund (the "fund") to act as a "retail money market fund" as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The fund's conversion to a retail money market fund will not result in any change to the fund's investment objective or principal investment strategies. A master money market fund, such as the fund, may consider itself a "retail money market fund" when all of its feeder funds are qualified retail money market funds, and the master fund relies on the policies and procedures of the feeder funds that are reasonably designed to limit all of the feeder funds' beneficial owners to natural persons. The fund will rely on such policies and procedures of its feeder funds, which are scheduled to become retail money market funds as of the close of business on August 16, 2024 (the "Effective Date"). The Board also approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of the fund by Prime CNAV Master Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), also a series of the Trust and a retail money market fund. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization sets forth the terms by which the fund will transfer its assets and liabilities in exchange for beneficial interests ("Interests") of the Acquiring Fund, followed by the distribution of Interests of the Acquiring Fund to the interestholders of the fund and the complete liquidation of the fund (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization is scheduled to take place on or about August 23, 2024.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as

evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more UBS investment companies since 1978.

Board Approval of Management Contract (unaudited)
November 2023 Board Meeting
Background-At a meeting of the board of Master Trust (the "Trust") on November 29, 2023, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the management contract (the "Management Contract") of the Trust with respect to its new series, 100% US Treasury Master Fund (the "Master Fund"), with UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM"). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had received information from UBS AM, including information about the proposed advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Master Fund. The board also received a memorandum discussing the reasons for establishing the Master Fund and its proposed Management Contract. The Independent Trustees also considered a memorandum previously provided by their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Management Contract, the board was advised of the corresponding "feeder funds" that will invest in the Master Fund (the "Feeder Funds" and together with the Master Fund, the "New Funds"). The board was further advised that the New Funds were substantially similar to several existing funds currently advised by UBS AM (the "Existing Funds") and differed principally because the New Funds would not be subject to unitary fees and while one feeder fund would offer a single share class, the other feeder fund would offer two classes of shares with different characteristics.
Nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the Management Contract-The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of management services to be provided to the Master Fund by UBS AM under the Management Contract. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services to be performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Master Fund and the corresponding Feeder Funds.
The board's consideration was affected by its current oversight of the Existing Funds and the other funds on the boards of which they serve. The board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided to the Master Fund under the Management Contract were appropriate and consistent with the operational requirements of the Master Fund.
Proposed management fees and estimated expense ratios-The board reviewed and considered the proposed management fee payable by the Master Fund to UBS AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services proposed to be provided by UBS AM. In conducting its review, the board noted that under the master-feeder structure, the Master Fund would pay an investment advisory and administration fee to UBS AM, and, in turn, each Feeder Fund would bear its corresponding expenses in proportion to its investment in the Master Fund. In addition, the board also reviewed and considered the proposed fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements for the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds.
In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the proposed management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided to the Master Fund under the Management Contract.
Master Fund performance-As the Master Fund had not yet commenced operations, the board was not able to review the Master Fund's performance.
UBS AM profitability-The board noted that UBS AM could not report any financial results from its relationship with the Master Fund because the Master Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, and thus, the board could not evaluate the profitability of the Master Fund.
Economies of scale-The board discussed whether economies of scale would be realized by UBS AM with respect to the Master Fund, as its asset base grows, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of the proposed management fee to be charged by UBS AM to the Master Fund. The board noted that, as the Master Fund had not
51
Master Trust-100% US Treasury Master Fund
Board Approval of Management Contract (unaudited)
yet commenced investment operations, economies of scale were not likely to be realized in the near future. The board considered the uncertainty of the estimated asset levels and was mindful of the renewal requirements for advisory agreements and their ability to review the Master Fund's management fee, including in connection with the annual consideration of the Management Contract after its initial term.
Other potential benefits to UBS AM-The board considered other potential benefits to UBS AM and its affiliates as a result of their anticipated relationship with the Master Fund and the Feeder Funds, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to the Feeder Funds' potential shareholders. In light of the estimated costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Master Fund, the estimated costs of providing administrative services to the Feeder Funds, and UBS AM's ongoing general commitment to the Funds, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS AM and its affiliates may receive were expected to be reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were to be provided.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Management Contract. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the Management Contract in private sessions with its independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS AM were present.

February 2024 Board Meeting
At a meeting of the board of Master Trust (the "Trust") on February 21, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered the approval of the novation and restatement of the management contract between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and the Trust (the "Management Contract").
Management discussed with the board its proposal to reorganize UBS AM from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and to change its name to UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC. Management stated that UBS AM is proposing that the Management Contract be novated and restated at the time of the closing of the reorganization to reflect UBS AM's new name and form of organization. UBS AM represented, and the board considered, that there was expected to be no change to: (i) the advisory fee or any other amounts to be paid by the Trust; (ii) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by UBS AM; (iii) fund performance; (iv) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by UBS AM and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust; or (v) the realization of economies of scale as the Trust grows; or (vi) any other benefits derived or to be derived by UBS AM from the relationship with the Trust.
The board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the novation and restatement of the Management Contract. No single factor considered by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the novation and restatement of the Management Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The registrant's Audit Committee ("audit committee") has adopted an Audit Committee Charter (Amended and Restated as of September 14, 2016), as amended (the "charter"). The charter contains the audit committee's pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:
The [audit] Committee shall:
2. |
Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund's independent auditors to UBS AM and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS AM and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS AM or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund's independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee has delegated its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services not exceeding $100,000 (excluding reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) on an annual basis to the Chairman (as defined below). All such pre-approvals will |
be reported to the full Committee on a quarterly basis at the Committee's next regularly scheduled meeting after the pre-approval. The Committee may not delegate to management its responsibility to pre-approve services to be performed by the independent auditor. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Committee or the Chairperson will be submitted by both the Fund's independent auditors and the Fund's Treasurer or other designated Fund officer and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence. From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS AM or the Fund's officers). |
1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") determines, by regulation, is impermissible. Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS AM and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS AM that provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service Providers") constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) UBS AM and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with UBS AM that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.
(e) (2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
