Statement of appropriation of total profit / (loss) carried forward

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on 7 March 2019 approve an ordinary dividend distribution of USD 6 million. Dividends are declared and paid in US dollars. The total amount of the dividends will be capped at CHF 8 million (Cap). To the extent that the CHF dividend calculated based on USD 6 million would exceed the Cap on the day of the AGM, due to the exchange rate determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable opinion, the USD amount of the dividend will be reduced on a pro-rata basis so that the total CHF amount does not exceed the Cap.

The Board of Directors proposes that the AGM on 7 March 2019 approve the following appropriation of total profit / (loss) carried forward and dividend distribution.

Note 1 Corporate information

UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG is incorporated and domiciled in Switzerland and its registered office is at Bahnhofstrasse 45, CH-8001 Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG operates under article 620ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations as an Aktiengesellschaft (a corporation limited by shares).

Establishment of UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG

UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG was incorporated on 14 November 2016 as a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG. The company was established to issue UBS Group AG guaranteed perpetual capital notes that qualify as Basel III additional tier 1 (AT1) capital and senior unsecured debt that contributes to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) of UBS.

UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG was designated by FINMA as a significant group company according to article 2bis para. 1 lit. b of the Swiss Banking Act.

Issuance of AT1 capital instruments and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt

Throughout 2018 and 2017, UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG issued TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt and perpetual AT1 capital notes. The proceeds from the issuances of those instruments were on-lent to UBS AG.

In May 2018, outstanding perpetual capital notes that qualify as Basel III AT1 capital issued by UBS Group AG were transferred to UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG at book value with a retrospective effect as of 1 January 2018. In May 2017 outstanding TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt issued by UBS Group Funding (Jersey) Limited was transferred to UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG. Both transfers were carried out by means of an issuer substitution pursuant to the voluntary substitution provisions provided in the terms and conditions of the relevant instruments. Following the transfers, the outstanding perpetual capital notes and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt continue to be guaranteed by UBS Group AG, and investors’ seniority of claims against UBS Group AG remains unchanged.

In December 2018, the Swiss Parliament approved changes to the tax treatment of too big to fail (TBTF) instruments issued by the holding companies of Swiss systemically important banks. The new law aims to eliminate the additional tax burden imposed on systemically important banks as a result of required issuances of TBTF instruments at the holding company level. The Swiss Federal Council will announce an effective date for the change after the referendum period closes in April 2019. No referendum has been called at this point. Once effective, new loss-absorbing additional tier 1 capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)-eligible senior unsecured debt will be issued directly out of UBS Group AG. It is also expected that UBS Group AG will assume outstanding capital and debt instruments that were previously issued by UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG as a means of managing the aforementioned tax burden.

® Refer to Note 12 for more information on the main terms and conditions of the perpetual capital notes and TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt issued

Note 2 Accounting policies

The UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the principles of the Swiss Law on Accounting and Financial Reporting (32nd title of the Swiss Code of Obligations).

The functional currency of UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG is the US dollar. The significant accounting and valuation principles applied are described below.

Change in functional and presentation currency

As of 1 October 2018 (the conversion date) UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG prospectively changed its functional currency from Swiss francs to US dollars.

UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG also prospectively changed the presentation currency of its standalone financial statements from Swiss francs to US dollars. The interim Swiss franc financial information of UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG as of 30 September 2018, including the balance sheet, year-to-date income statement and all related notes, was translated into US dollars at the closing rate on 30 September 2018 (the conversion date rate). This conversion had no impact on the income statement or equity.

As the primary presentation currency of the standalone financial statements of UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG is US dollars, amounts in Swiss francs are additionally presented for each component of the financial statements. UBS Group Funding (Switzerland) AG applies the modified closing rate method for translating the US dollar amounts into Swiss francs: assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate, equity positions at historic rates and income and expense items at the weighted average rate for the period. All resulting currency translation effects are recognized separately in Voluntary earnings reserve , amounting to CHF 0 million as of 31 December 2018. Under Swiss Code of Obligations, prior period financial statements are not restated. All comparative prior-period information as of and for the year ended 31 December 2017 is translated at the closing rate as of 31 December 2017.
