Item 2: Share dividend Creation of authorized capital Approval of Article 4b of the Articles of Association

The Board of Directors proposed that the cash dividend for the 2007 financial year be replaced by a share dividend. The Chairman gave details of this share dividend. In order to cover the proposed share dividend, the Board of Directors proposed the creation of authorized capital, totaling no more than 5% of the current share capital of UBS. The Chairman then opened the discussion.

This item was largely undisputed. A small number of voters regretted the dilution and expressed hope that a cash dividend will once again be paid out next year.

The General Meeting approved the share dividend and the creation of authorized capital.
