UBS founding financial partner in new Clinton Climate Initiative

In May, we partnered with the Clinton Climate Initiative in a program aimed at reducing energy use. Under the program, a select group of large city governments will retrofit public buildings and provide incentives to large private building owners to make their buildings more energy efficient. To help achieve this, UBS has agreed to dedicate its expertise and other resources to create financial structures capable of delivering capital effectively to public and private projects.

Market share

According to data from Dealogic, we ranked fourth in terms of our share of the investment banking global fee pool at the end of second quarter 2007, with a year-to-date market share of 5.8%. In first half 2006, we ranked eighth with a market share of 4.9%. We also led Thomson Financial's first half league table for UK M&A advisors, as reported in The Times in late June.

We maintained our first place in the global ranking for secondary cash commissions for the twentieth consecutive quarter, according to data from a leading industry survey.

Awards

Our equities and fixed income businesses received a number of prestigious awards in second quarter. In Euromoney's Awards for Excellence, UBS was named the "Best Global Emerging Market Investment Bank" as well as the "Best Global Emerging Market Equity House". UBS was named the leading pan-European brokerage firm in ThomsonExtel's survey for the seventh year running. The survey also placed us first in Equity Trading & Execution, as well as in Equity & Equity-linked Research & Sales. Institutional Investor placed our Latin America equity research team in first place for the fifth consecutive year, and Risk awarded us first place for equity derivatives for the third consecutive year.

Euromoney awarded us first place in the "Overall Primary Debt House" category, up from fourth in 2006. Euroweek described UBS as the best "Overall Bank for the Last Twenty Years". UBS was also named best for cross-currency swaps, currency forwards and exotic currency products by Risk magazine.
