Disclosure of shareholdings as of 27 February 2008 (1)
Based on article 20 of the Federal Act on Stock
Exchanges and Securities Trading (SESTA) UBS AG, Bahnhofstrasse 45, 8098
Zurich, received the following information from the Government of Singapore
Investment Corporation Pte. Ltd. ("GIC"), 168 Robinson Road, #37-01, Capital
Tower, Singapore 068912, for publication:
As of 27 February 2008 the Government of Singapore, 100 High Street, #10-01,
The Treasury, Singapore 179434, indirectly through its subsidiary GIC, held a stake
of 9.544% of acquisition positions (proportion of voting rights) relating to
registered shares of UBS AG. These positions comprise 8,316,717 (0.358%)
registered shares of UBS AG, with voting rights, and the right to acquire
conversion rights on 213,675,213 (9.186%, both figures excluding dilution from
the stock dividend) registered shares of UBS AG in the form of mandatory
convertible notes ("Mandatory Convertible Notes") on 5 March 2008.
By recommendation of the Disclosure Office of the SWX Swiss Exchange dated 30
January 2008, the Government of Singapore was granted an exemption to the
effect that the basis of the present calculation of the proportion of voting rights
may be the share capital currently recorded in the Commercial Register plus the
maximal number of registered shares of UBS AG to be issued upon the future
conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Notes in the aggregate amount of CHF
13 billion, being a total number of 2,326,072,597 registered shares (figure
excluding dilution from stock dividend).
Based on the maximum number of shares to be issued under the Mandatory
Convertible Notes and taking into account the shares to be issued in connection
with the stock dividend, GIC, as a result of the conversion, would hold
approximately 8.8% of UBS's shares.
GIC is wholly owned by the Government of Singapore and manages the reserves
of Singapore. It acts as fund manager of the Government of Singapore, the
Monetary Authority of Singapore and MND Holdings (Private) Limited. The shares
already held for the latter legal entities are included in the reported positions.
The notification obligation was triggered by a Letter Agreement dated 9
December 2007 between GIC and UBS AG and regarding the purchase by GIC of
the Mandatory Convertible Notes in the amount of CHF 11 billion. In its
recommendation dated 30 January 2008 the Disclosure Office of the SWX Swiss
Exchange granted an adjournment of the notification.
