Pricing of UBS Group AG Additional
Tier 1 instruments
UBS Group AG priced its first Additional Tier 1 instruments since the acquisition
 
of
 
Credit Suisse.
 
Zurich, 9 November 2023 – UBS Group AG priced
 
an offering of an aggregate of USD 3.5bn of Additional
Tier 1 capital notes on 8 November
 
2023. The offering comprised two tranches:
 
USD 1.75bn of 9.25%
perpetual notes redeemable at the option of UBS after
 
five years and USD 1.75bn of 9.25% perpetual notes
redeemable at the option of UBS after 10 years.
 
Each issue is a direct, unsecured, and subordinated obligation
of UBS Group AG.
The notes will qualify as Additional Tier
 
1 capital under Swiss law and, accordingly, are subject to write-down
upon occurrence of a Trigger Event or a Viability Event. The notes provide that, following
 
approval of a
minimum amount of conversion capital by
 
UBS Group AG's shareholders, upon occurrence of a Trigger Event
or a Viability Event, the notes will be converted
 
into UBS Group AG ordinary shares rather than be subject to
write-down. UBS Group AG believes that the conversion
 
feature more closely aligns the terms of its
Additional Tier 1 capital instruments
 
with current market practice.
