Supplemental guarantor information
In
 
2015,
 
the
 
Personal
 
&
 
Corporate
 
Banking
 
and
 
Wealth
 
Management
 
businesses
 
booked
 
in
 
Switzerland
 
were
transferred from UBS AG
 
to UBS
 
Switzerland AG through
 
an asset
 
transfer in accordance
 
with the
 
Swiss Merger
Act. Under the
 
terms of the
 
asset transfer agreement,
 
UBS Switzerland AG
 
assumed joint liability
 
for contractual
obligations of UBS AG existing
 
on the asset transfer
 
date, including the full
 
and unconditional guarantee
 
of certain
SEC-registered debt
 
securities
 
issued by
 
UBS AG. The
 
joint liability
 
of UBS
 
Switzerland
 
AG for
 
contractual obligations
of
 
UBS AG
 
decreased
 
in
 
the
 
first
 
half
 
of
 
2024
 
by
 
USD
0.5
bn
 
to
 
USD
2.8
bn
 
as
 
of
 
30 June
 
2024.
 
The
 
decrease
substantially relates to a combination
 
of contractual maturities, fair value
 
movements and foreign currency effects.
UBS AG, together
 
with UBS Group
 
AG, has
 
fully and unconditionally guaranteed
 
the outstanding SEC-registered
debt securities
 
of Credit
 
Suisse (USA),
 
LLC, which
 
as of
 
30 June
 
2024 consisted of
 
a single
 
outstanding issuance
with a balance
 
of USD
742
m maturing
 
in July 2032.
 
Credit Suisse
 
(USA), LLC is
 
an indirect,
 
wholly owned
 
subsidiary
of UBS AG. UBS AG
 
assumed Credit Suisse AG’s
 
obligations under the
 
guarantee as of 31 May
 
2024 (i.e., the date
of the merger). In accordance
 
with the guarantee, if Credit
 
Suisse (USA), LLC fails to
 
make a timely payment under
the agreements
 
governing such
 
debt securities,
 
the holders
 
of the
 
debt securities
 
may demand
 
payment from
 
either
UBS Group AG or UBS AG, without first proceeding
 
against Credit Suisse (USA), LLC.
