| Media Releases Switzerland

UBS is lowering its interest rates for savings accounts, personal accounts for young people and senior citizens and personal accounts in euros by 0.25% with effect from 1 June 2002. The interest rate for savings accounts in euros will be reduced by 0.5%. Interest rates for Fiscainvest retirement savings accounts and personal accounts for adults will remain unchanged.

UBS is lowering the interest rates it pays on deposits in response to the decline in domestic long and short-term rates caused by the strong Swiss franc and falling international rates.
