In 2006, UBS recorded a Group net profit attributable to UBS shareholders ("attributable profit") of CHF 12,257 million.

Dividend

As agreed by the extraordinary general meeting on 27 February 2008, the cash dividend for 2007 was replaced by a stock dividend. Furthermore, the Board of Directors (BoD) is authorized, at any time until 27 February 2010, to increase the share capital by a maximum of CHF 10,370,000 through the issuance of a maximum of 103,700,000 fully paid registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.10 each. Existing shareholders will be granted subscription rights for the acquisition of the new shares without payment in proportion to their shareholdings after the annual general meeting (AGM) to be held on 23 April 2008. The exchange ratio will be determined by the BoD, and shareholders will be informed of it on or by the date of the AGM. The allotted entitlements will be tradable on virt-x and therefore allow shareholders to choose whether they wish to receive new UBS AG shares or monetize the value of the entitlements by selling them in the market.

For the performance year 2006 (paid in 2007), UBS paid a cash dividend of CHF 2.20 a share. Total payout for the 2005 financial year (paid in 2006), which included a par value repayment of CHF 0.30 a share for the gain realized from the sale of Private Banks & GAM, was CHF 1.90 a share.

2006

In 2006, attributable profit was CHF 12,257 million.

The financial businesses contributed CHF 11,253 million to attributable profit, of which CHF 11,249 million was from continuing operations. This was an improvement of 19% from CHF 9,442 million in 2005. Discontinued operations contributed CHF 4 million net profit to financial businesses. Attributable profit benefited by CHF 1,004 million from Industrial Holdings with CHF 220 million stemming from continuing operations.
