USD 1 bn Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Notes with Equity Conversion Feature Issued by UBS Group AG
On 12 February 2024, UBS Group AG successfully completed its offering of USD 1 bn AT1 Notes. The Notes are eligible to fulfill UBS Group AG’s Swiss going concern requirements. While the Notes are initially subject to write-down upon occurrence of a “Trigger Event” or a “Viability Event”, the terms of the Notes provide that, following approval of a minimum amount of conversion capital by UBS Group AG’s shareholders, upon occurrence of such an event, the Notes will be converted into ordinary shares of UBS Group AG rather than be subject to write-down. The Notes are governed by Swiss law and have been provisionally admitted to trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
