On 31 March 2009, UBS's BIS tier 1 capital ratio stood at 10.5% and its BIS total capital ratio was 14.7%, down from 11.0% and 15.0%, respectively, on 31 December 2008. During the first quarter, risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased 8.1% to CHF 277.7 billion, the BIS tier 1 capital declined by CHF 3.9 billion to CHF 29.2 billion, and the BIS total capital decreased by CHF 4.4 billion to CHF 41.0 billion.

Taking into account the effects from the announced sale of UBS Pactual, which is expected to close in mid-2009, BIS tier 1 capital would increase approximately CHF 1 billion and risk-weighted assets would be CHF 3 billion lower, resulting in a pro forma BIS tier 1 capital ratio of 11.0%. Refer to the "Recent developments" section of this report and "Note 18 Post-balance sheet events" in the financial statements of this report for more information about this transaction.
