Note 25 Operating Lease Commitments

At 31 December 2005, UBS was obligated under a number of non-cancellable operating leases for premises and equipment used primarily for banking purposes. The significant premises leases usually include renewal options and escalation clauses in line with general office rental market conditions as well as rent adjustments based on price indices. However, the lease agreements do not contain contingent rent payment clauses and purchase options. The leases also do not impose any restrictions on UBS’s ability to pay dividends, engage in debt financing transactions or enter into further lease agreements.

The minimum commitments for non-cancellable leases of premises and equipment are presented as follows:

CHF million			31.12.05
Operating leases due
2006			963
2007			908
2008			844
2009			783
2010			672
2011 and thereafter			3,973
Subtotal commitments for minimum payments under operating leases			8,143
Less: Sublease rentals under non-cancellable leases			821
Net commitments for minimum payments under operating leases			7,322

CHF million	31.12.05	31.12.04	31.12.03
Gross operating lease expense	1,232	1,309	1,354
from continuing operations	1,157	1,236	1,263
from discontinued operations	75	73	91
Sublease rental income from continuing operations	51	43	43
Net operating lease expense	1,181	1,266	1,311
