This Amendment No. 14 (“Amendment No. 14”) supplements Items 8 and 12 (but no other items) of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with the amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed on October 14, 2014 by UBS Group AG, a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft/société anonyme (“UBS Group”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by UBS Group to acquire any and all issued ordinary shares of UBS AG, a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft/société anonyme, in exchange for registered shares of UBS Group (the “Exchange Offer”). The Exchange Offer is comprised of the U.S. offer and the Swiss offer.

As of December 16, 2014, UBS Group’s issued share capital consists of 3,716,910,207 issued shares, of which 90,762,996 were treasury shares. Accordingly, as of December 16, 2014, the total number of voting rights in UBS Group is 3,626,147,211.

 

Item 8. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company

The subsequent offer period of the Exchange Offered began on November 26 and expired on December 10, 2014. On December 16, 2014, UBS Group implemented a capital increase to authorize an additional 241,553,766 UBS Group Shares for issuance in exchange for the UBS Shares that were tendered into the Exchange Offer during the subsequent offer period and UBS Shares acquired by private exchanges with various shareholders and banks in Switzerland and elsewhere outside the United States subsequent to the end of the subsequent offer period. These private exchanges were made on the same terms and conditions as applied to the Exchange Offer. Upon settlement of the subsequent offer period and the private exchanges, UBS Group will hold 3,716,910,207 UBS Shares, representing 96.68% of all issued UBS Shares.
