Item 5 Ordinary capital increase Rights offering

Profond proposed that UBS AG effect an ordinary capital increase with subscription rights allotted to existing shareholders through a rights offering. This would create around CHF 10 billion in equity capital. The Board of Directors agreed with Profond's proposal, but said that the ordinary capital increase should be structured in such a way that it generates proceeds of around CHF 15 billion. The Board of Directors thus proposed an ordinary capital increase as per the conditions stipulated in the invitation using the wording projected on the screen.

Following a discussion the General Meeting approved an ordinary capital increase, the vote being as follows:
