Zurich, 30 May 2024 – The next significant milestones
 
in UBS’s integration of Credit Suisse are the merger of
UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, which takes place
 
on 31 May 2024, and the move to
 
a single Intermediate
Holding Company in the United States in June.
 
Their completion is another critical step
 
in our integration
journey and enables us to further harness
 
the power of the combined organization.
 
As we progress on
pursuing our long-term ambitions, it is crucial that
 
we increase our focus on sustainable, strategic growth,
especially in the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
To
 
execute on short- and long-term priorities,
 
UBS announces the following changes
 
to its Group Executive
Board (GEB), which are subject to final regulatory approval and effective 1 July 2024
 
except where otherwise
noted:
Iqbal Khan
will assume the role of President UBS Asia-Pacific, effective 1 September
 
2024, and
become Co-President GWM. He will relocate to Asia later this
 
summer together with his family. This is
the first time that a divisional President will be based
 
in Asia-Pacific.
 
Rob Karofsky
will become President UBS Americas and Co-President GWM
 
after having successfully
led the UBS Investment Bank as Co-President since
 
2018 and as President since 2021.
 
Iqbal and Rob will jointly manage GWM across all regions to ensure an unparalleled
 
global offering
for our wealth management client franchise.
 
In addition, in their new regional roles, Iqbal and Rob
will further leverage the capabilities of the integrated
 
firm across all business divisions.
George Athanasopoulos
and
 
Marco Valla
will join the GEB as Co-Presidents of the Investment
Bank. With more than 30 years in investment
 
banking, both bring a wealth of experience.
 
George
joined UBS in 2010 and held various senior
 
roles across the Investment Bank including Co-Head
Global Markets since 2020. In addition, he
 
has been Head Global Family and Institutional
 
Wealth
since 2022 where he has leveraged the key strengths
 
across UBS’s investment banking and wealth
management capabilities. Marco, who joined the firm
 
in 2023 as Co-Head of Global Banking, has
held increasingly senior managerial roles and advised on approximately
 
300 completed transactions
across various industries.

Damian Vogel
 
will be appointed Group Chief Risk Officer and become a member
 
of the GEB,
succeeding Christian Bluhm, who agreed to delay his
 
retirement last year to support the firm in the
first phase of the integration. Since joining
 
UBS in 2010, Damian has held various
 
risk-related
leadership roles across GWM, Personal & Corporate Banking and
 
region Switzerland before being
appointed Chief Risk Officer for Credit Suisse and Group Risk Control Head
 
of Integration in 2023.
Christian will remain with the firm in an advisory
 
capacity.
Stefan Seiler
, Head Group Human Resources and Corporate Services, will
 
expand his responsibility to
include Group Communications and Branding led by
 
Marsha Askins, who will newly report into him.
Ulrich Körner
, CEO of Credit Suisse AG, will step down from the GEB at
 
the end of June following
the merger of the parent banks UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG.
 
He will retire from UBS later this year.
 
Edmund Koh
, President UBS Asia-Pacific, will step-down from the GEB effective
 
1 September 2024.
He will remain at UBS as Regional Chair Asia-Pacific,
 
continuing to support our clients and businesses
in the region.
 
Naureen Hassan
, Regional President UBS Americas, has decided to retire from UBS, effective
1 July 2024. Since joining the firm in 2022, Naureen
 
has played an instrumental role in positioning
our business for growth, including preparation for the transition
 
to a single US Intermediate Holding
Company.
UBS Group CEO Sergio P.
 
Ermotti comments: “Since acquiring
 
Credit Suisse last year, we have continued to
deliver on our integration priorities while staying
 
close to our clients, positioning us
 
well for future growth. I
would like to thank Christian Bluhm, Edmund
 
Koh, Ulrich Körner and Naureen Hassan for
 
their exceptional
contributions to the firm over the years, especially
 
during this period of change. The appointments
 
to the
Group Executive Board we are announcing today will allow us
 
to continue to progress on our integration
journey and realize the expected synergies
 
and efficiencies, while putting even more emphasis on
 
our long-
term priorities and growth prospects, particularly in the
 
Americas and Asia-Pacific.”
