Zurich, 3 April 2017 – The Board of Directors of UBS Group AG is proposing Julie G. Richardson for election as a new member of the Board of Directors for a one-year term. Julie G. Richardson (born 1963) was a Partner and Head of the New York Office of Providence Equity Partners from 2003 to 2012, a global private equity firm specializing in equity investments in media, communications, education and information companies. She acted as a senior advisor to the partnership until 2014. From 1998 to 2003, Julie G. Richardson served as Vice Chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Investment Banking division and Head of its Global Telecommunications, Media and Technology group. She started her career with Merrill Lynch in 1986, where she worked until 1998, in her last position as Managing Director Media and Communications Investment Banking. Julie G. Richardson graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Chairman of the UBS Board of Directors Axel Weber: “I am delighted to announce the nomination of Julie G. Richardson for election to the Board of Directors. We are convinced she has the specialist knowledge required to strengthen the UBS Board of Directors and – subject to her election – will provide invaluable skills, experience and expertise.”

Joseph Yam has decided to step down from the Board of Directors at this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM) for personal reasons. He has been a member of the Board since 2011 and was a member of the Corporate Culture and Responsibility Committee and the Risk Committee. Chairman Axel Weber, said: "Joseph Yam's experience as a former regulator in the vital Asian market brought important impetus to the Board, where he engaged actively for a sustainable strategy. The Board thanks him for his valuable collaboration."

Chairman Axel Weber and the other members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election for a further one-year term.

Dividend proposal

The UBS Group AG Board of Directors intends to propose to shareholders an ordinary dividend of CHF 0.60 per share for the financial year 2016, unchanged compared with the previous year.
