**Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) <br> Registration Nos. 333-293403, <br> 333-293403-01 <br> and 333-293403-02**

<br> **PROSPECTUS** 

**UBS Americas Inc.** 

**7<sup>1</sup>∕<sub>8</sub>% Notes due July 15, 2032** 

**fully and unconditionally guaranteed by** 

**UBS Group AG** 

**and** 

**UBS AG** 

UBS Americas Inc. (the "Issuer" or "UBS Americas"), is offering, under the terms and conditions described in this prospectus, to rescind (the "Rescission Offer") the previous purchase of the 7<sup>1</sup>∕<sub>8</sub>% Notes due July 15, 2032 (CUSIP 22541LAE3; ISIN US22541LAE39) (the "Subject Securities") by certain purchasers who acquired Subject Securities during the period from October 1, 2023 to the date of this prospectus (the "Relevant Period") from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG (an "Applicable Transaction").

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to a senior indenture dated as of June 1, 2001 (the "Base Indenture"), between Credit Suisse (USA) LLC (formerly known as Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. and Credit Suisse First Boston (USA), Inc.) ("CS USA") and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by (i) the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 26, 2007 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), among Credit Suisse Group AG ("CSG"), CS USA, Credit Suisse AG ("CS AG") and the Trustee, (ii) the second supplemental indenture, dated as of June 9, 2023 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), among UBS Group AG, CSG, CS AG, CS USA and the Trustee, (iii) the third supplemental indenture dated as of May 30, 2024 (the "Third Supplemental Indenture"), among UBS Group AG, CS AG, CS USA, UBS AG and the Trustee and (iv) the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of February 2, 2026 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture"), among CS USA, UBS Americas, UBS Group AG, UBS AG and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented is referred to as the "Indenture." Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the merger of CSG with UBS Group AG on June 12, 2023 (the "Group Merger" and such date, the "Group Merger Date"), UBS Group AG expressly assumed all of CSG's obligations as guarantor under the Indenture. Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the merger of CS AG with UBS AG on May 31, 2024 (the "Parent Bank Merger" and such date, the "Parent Bank Merger Date"), UBS AG expressly assumed all of CS AG's obligations as guarantor under the Indenture. Pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the merger of CS USA with UBS Americas on February 2, 2026 (the "UBS Americas Merger" and such date, the "UBS Americas Merger Date"), UBS Americas expressly assumed all of CS USA's obligations as issuer under the Indenture and the Subject Securities. For further information on the Subject Securities, see "*Description of the Subject Securities*."

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to a registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Following the Group Merger, affiliates of UBS Group AG made a market in the Subject Securities, including by conducting secondary resales of the Subject Securities to unaffiliated investors (the "Market-Making Transactions"). The Market-Making Transactions were made pursuant to an effective registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act until October 2023, when UBS Group AG determined to cease using such registration statement. Certain affiliates of UBS Group AG continued to conduct Market-Making Transactions, without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, certain offers and sales of the Subject Securities were not made in full compliance with the Securities Act, giving rise to rights of rescission for certain purchasers of the Subject Securities in an Applicable Transaction (the "Applicable Securities"). As a result, the Issuer has elected to make the Rescission Offer to those purchasers (each such purchaser, an "Eligible Investor"). The eligibility requirements for purchasers to take part in the Rescission Offer are described in this prospectus in the section entitled "*The Rescission Offer*" beginning on page 17.

If you are an Eligible Investor and accept the Rescission Offer, you will receive, upon satisfaction of the of the conditions set forth in this prospectus, the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the case of an Eligible Current Investor, an amount equal to the purchase price paid for the Applicable
Security in the Applicable Transaction, *plus* interest on such purchase price from the Settlement date of such Applicable Transaction to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
after the Expiration Date (as defined below) and (y) the Settlement Date (as defined below) (the "Eligible Current Investor Applicable Period"), *less* the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received on such Applicable Security. For the definition of Eligible Current Investors, see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Eligibility Requirements*." <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In the case of an Eligible Former Investor, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the purchase price paid for
the Applicable Security over the proceeds from the Applicable Disposition (as defined below), *plus* interest (i) on the purchase price paid for such Applicable Security from the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction to, and
including, the settlement date of the transaction in which such Applicable Security was sold at a loss (such transaction, the "Applicable Disposition" and such period, the "Eligible Former Investor Holding Applicable Period")
and (ii) on the loss realized from such Applicable Disposition from the date of such Applicable Disposition to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days after the Expiration Date and (y) the
Settlement Date (the "Eligible Form Investor Applicable Period"), *less* the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received on such Applicable Security. For the definition of Eligible Former Investors,
see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Eligibility Requirements*."

We refer to each of the Eligible Current Investor Applicable Period, Eligible Former Investor Holding Applicable Period and Eligible Former Investor Applicable Period as an "Applicable Period."

IF YOU ACCEPT THE RESCISSION OFFER, YOU WILL NOT BE PAID ANY OTHER AMOUNTS ON YOUR APPLICABLE SECURITIES OTHER THAN AS SET OUT ABOVE.

The Subject Securities have now been registered by means of the registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part. Accordingly, whether or not you accept the Rescission Offer, as of the date of this prospectus your Subject Securities will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement. The Subject Securities currently are unrestricted securities, meaning that they are not "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and are freely tradeable (other than by us or any of our affiliates).

The Rescission Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 20, 2026 (the "Expiration Date"), which is 30 days from the date of this prospectus (including the date of this prospectus and the Expiration Date).

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, you may elect to accept the Rescission Offer by instructing your broker or bank through which your Applicable Securities are held to tender them for you as set forth in this prospectus. If you are an Eligible Former Investor, you may elect to accept the Rescission Offer by submitting an acceptance form to the Issuer on or before the Expiration Date as set forth in this prospectus. See "*The Rescission Offer—Acceptance or Rejection of the Rescission Offer—How to accept the Rescission Offer*." You do not need to take any action to reject the Rescission Offer. If you fail to validly accept the Rescission Offer by the Expiration Date, you will be deemed by us to have rejected the Rescission Offer. Acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer may prevent you from maintaining any action against us based on a claim that we failed to register the Market-Making Transactions. In any event, any such action may be barred by applicable statutes of limitations or repose*.* See "*Risk Factors—Your right of rescission under federal and state law may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer*."

If you have questions or require additional information about the Rescission Offer, you may contact the broker, bank or other institution where you purchased your Subject Security. In addition, if you are an Eligible Former Investor, information regarding how to obtain technical support in relation to the submission of your Rescission Offer acceptance or withdrawal form and supporting evidence of eligibility will be available through the Rescission Offer on-line portal, which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG (the "Rescission Offer On-line Portal").

**Investing in the Subject Securities involves risks. See the [risk factors](#toca17238_6) beginning on page 14 of this prospectus and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, for a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer or invest in Subject Securities.**

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any U.S. state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Subject Securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Subject Securities are not deposit liabilities and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of the United States, Switzerland or any other jurisdiction. The Subject Securities do not have the benefit of any agency or governmental guarantee.

We have not retained an underwriter in connection with the Rescission Offer.

In addition to the Rescission Offer, the Issuer, UBS Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services Inc. or any other affiliate of UBS Group AG may use this prospectus in market-making transactions involving Subject Securities. In a market-making transaction, the Issuer, UBS Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services Inc. or any other affiliate of the Issuer may resell a Subject Security it acquires from other holders, including in the Rescission Offer. Resales of this kind may occur in the open market or may be privately negotiated at prevailing market prices at the time of resale or at related or negotiated prices. In these transactions, the Issuer, UBS Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services Inc. or any other affiliate of UBS Group AG may act as principal or agent, including as agent for the counterparty in a transaction in which it acts as principal, or as agent for both counterparties in a transaction in which it does not act as principal. The Issuer, UBS Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services Inc. or any other affiliate of UBS Group AG may receive compensation in the form of discounts and commissions, including from both counterparties in some cases.

**LIMITATIONS ON ENFORCEMENT OF U.S. LAWS** 

UBS Group AG is a holding company for financial services companies that is domiciled in Switzerland and UBS AG is a bank domiciled in Switzerland. Many of their respective directors and executive officers, and certain experts named in this prospectus, are resident outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their respective assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to serve legal process on UBS Group AG, UBS AG or their respective directors and executive officers resident outside of the United States or have any of them appear in a U.S. court. The registrants have been advised by Homburger AG, Swiss counsel to UBS Group AG and UBS AG that, due to the lack of reciprocal legislation between Switzerland and the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce in Switzerland judgments obtained in U.S. courts against UBS Group AG or UBS AG (or any of their respective directors or executive officers resident in Switzerland). In addition, there is doubt as to the enforceability in Switzerland, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities predicated solely upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States.

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

This prospectus and certain documents incorporated by reference herein contain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to management's outlook for our financial performance, statements relating to the anticipated effect of transactions and strategic initiatives on our business and future development and goals. Forward-looking statements can sometimes be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "shall," "should," "would," "could," "potential," "seeks," "aims," "projects," "predicts," "is optimistic," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "targets," "anticipates," "continues" or other comparable terms or negatives of these terms, but not all forward-looking statements include such identifying words.

While these forward-looking statements represent our judgments, expectations and objectives concerning the matters described, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. In particular, the global economy may suffer significant adverse effects from increasing political tensions between world powers, changes to international trade policies, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers, and evolving armed conflicts.

Our acquisition of Credit Suisse materially changed our outlook and strategic direction and introduced new operational challenges. The integration of the Credit Suisse entities into our structure is expected to continue through 2026 and presents significant operational and execution risk, including the risks that we may be unable to achieve the cost reductions and business benefits contemplated by the transaction, that it may incur higher costs to execute the integration of Credit Suisse and that the acquired business may have greater risks or liabilities, including those related to litigation, than expected.

Following the failure of Credit Suisse, Switzerland is considering significant changes to its capital, resolution and regulatory regime, which, if adopted, would significantly increase our capital requirements or impose other costs on us. These factors create greater uncertainty about forward-looking statements.

Other factors that may affect our performance and ability to achieve our plans, outlook and other objectives also include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The degree to which we are successful in the execution of our strategic plans, including our cost reduction and
efficiency initiatives and our ability to manage our levels of risk-weighted assets ("RWA") and leverage ratio denominator, liquidity coverage ratio and other financial resources, including changes in RWA assets and liabilities arising
from higher market volatility and the size of the combined Group;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The degree to which UBS is successful in implementing changes to our businesses to meet changing market,
regulatory and other conditions, including any potential changes to banking examination and oversight practices and standards as a result of executive branch orders or staff interpretations of law in the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Inflation and interest rate volatility in major markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Developments in the macroeconomic climate and in the markets in which we operate or to which we are exposed,
including movements in securities prices or liquidity, credit spreads, currency exchange rates, residential and commercial real estate markets, general economic conditions and changes to national trade policies on the financial position or
creditworthiness of our clients and counterparties, as well as on client sentiment and levels of activity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in the availability of capital and funding, including any adverse changes in our credit spreads and
credit ratings, as well as availability and cost of funding, including as affected by the marketability

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
of a current additional tier one debt instrument, to meet requirements for debt eligible for total loss-absorbing capacity ("TLAC"); <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in and potential divergence between central bank policies or the implementation of financial legislation
and regulation in Switzerland, the U.S., the United Kingdom, the European Union and other financial centers that have imposed, or resulted in, or may do so in the future, more stringent or entity-specific capital, TLAC, leverage ratio, net stable
funding ratio, liquidity and funding requirements, heightened operational resilience requirements, incremental tax requirements, additional levies, limitations on permitted activities, constraints on remuneration, constraints on transfers of capital
and liquidity and sharing of operational costs across the Group or other measures and the effect these will or would have on our business activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to successfully implement resolvability and related regulatory requirements and the potential need to
make further changes to our legal structure or booking model in response to legal and regulatory requirements including heightened requirements and expectations due to our acquisition of Credit Suisse;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to maintain and improve our systems and controls for complying with sanctions in a timely manner and
for the detection and prevention of money laundering to meet evolving regulatory requirements and expectations, in particular in the current geopolitical turmoil;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The uncertainty arising from domestic stresses in certain major economies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in our competitive position, including whether differences in regulatory capital and other requirements
among the major financial centers adversely affect our ability to compete in certain lines of business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in the standards of conduct applicable to its businesses that may result from new regulations or new
enforcement of existing standards, including measures to impose new and enhanced duties when interacting with customers and in the execution and handling of customer transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The liability to which we may be exposed, or possible constraints or sanctions that regulatory authorities might
impose on us, due to litigation, including litigation inherited by virtue of the acquisition of Credit Suisse, contractual claims and regulatory investigations, including the potential for disqualification from certain businesses, potentially large
fines or monetary penalties, or the loss of licenses or privileges as a result of regulatory or other governmental sanctions, as well as the effect that litigation, regulatory and similar matters have on the operational risk component of our RWA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to retain and attract the employees necessary to generate revenues and to manage, support and control
our businesses, which may be affected by competitive factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Changes in accounting or tax standards or policies and determinations or interpretations affecting the
recognition of gain or loss, the valuation of goodwill, the recognition of deferred tax assets and other matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to implement new technologies and business methods, including digital services, artificial
intelligence and other technologies and ability to successfully compete with both existing and new financial service providers, some of which may not be regulated to the same extent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Limitations on the effectiveness of our internal processes for risk management, risk control, measurement and
modeling and of financial models generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The occurrence of operational failures, such as fraud, misconduct, unauthorized trading, financial crime,
cyberattacks, data leakage and systems failures, the risk of which is increased with persistently high levels of cyberattack threats;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Restrictions on the ability of UBS Group AG, UBS AG and regulated subsidiaries of UBS AG to make payments or
distributions, including due to restrictions on the ability of its subsidiaries to make loans or distributions, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of financial difficulties, due to the exercise by the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA or the regulators of our operations in other countries of their broad statutory powers in relation to protective measures, restructuring and liquidation proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The degree to which changes in regulation, capital or legal structure, financial results, or other factors may
affect our ability to maintain our stated capital return objective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Uncertainty over the scope of actions that may be required by us, governments and others for us to achieve goals
relating to climate, environmental and social matters, as well as the evolving nature of underlying science and industry and the increasing divergence among regulatory regimes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to access capital markets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our ability to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem due to a hurricane,
flood, earthquake, terrorist attack, war, conflict, pandemic, security breach, cyberattack, power loss, telecommunications failure, or other natural or man-made event; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effect that these or other factors or unanticipated events, including media reports and speculations, may
have on our reputation and the additional consequences that this may have on our business and performance.

The sequence in which the factors above are presented is not indicative of their likelihood of occurrence or the potential magnitude of their consequences. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE RESCISSION OFFER** 

*The following questions and answers are intended to address briefly some commonly asked questions regarding the Rescission Offer. These questions and answers do not address all questions that may be important to you. Please refer to "The Rescission Offer" below and the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this prospectus, which you should read carefully, and the information we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus.* 

**What is a rescission offer?** 

A rescission offer is an offer to rescind a securities transaction in which a securities law violation occurred or may have occurred. To conduct a rescission offer, the issuer of the subject securities offers to repurchase the applicable securities from relevant purchasers who acquired such securities, at their purchase price plus interest, less the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received pursuant to the terms of the securities, or to pay rescissory damages if such securities, after being purchased, were sold or matured at a loss.

**Why is the Issuer making the Rescission Offer?** 

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to a registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act. Following the Group Merger, affiliates of UBS Group AG made a market in the Subject Securities, including by conducting secondary resales of the Subject Securities to unaffiliated investors (i.e., the Market-Making Transactions). The Market-Making Transactions were made pursuant to an effective registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act until October 2023, when UBS Group AG determined to cease using such registration statement. Certain affiliates of UBS Group AG continued to conduct Market-Making Transactions, without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, certain offers and sales of the Subject Securities were not made in full compliance with the Securities Act, giving rise to rights of rescission for certain purchasers of the Subject Securities in an Applicable Transaction. The Issuer has therefore elected to make the Rescission Offer.

The Rescission Offer is not an admission that the Issuer, UBS Group AG or UBS Group AG's affiliates did not comply with applicable federal securities law requirements as to specific securities or transactions, nor is it a waiver by the Issuer, UBS Group AG or UBS Group AG's affiliates of any applicable statute of limitations or repose.

**Am I eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer?** 

You are eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer if you produce evidence satisfactory to the Issuer showing that, with respect to a given Subject Security, you meet the requirements to be deemed an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor, as described in this prospectus. For the definition of Eligible Current Investor and Eligible Former Investor, see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Eligibility Requirements*."

Eligible Current Investors will be required to produce evidence satisfactory to the Issuer that (1) they purchased the relevant Subject Security during the Relevant Period from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG and (2) they still hold such Applicable Security as of the date of this prospectus, and, subject to any tenders pursuant to the Rescission Offer, will continue to hold it on the Expiration Date, free and clear of any liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, interests and restrictions of any kind.

Eligible Former Investors will be required to produce evidence satisfactory to the Issuer that (1) they purchased the relevant Subject Security during the Relevant Period from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG and (2) they no longer hold such Applicable Security as of the date of this prospectus and such Applicable Security has been sold at a loss, provided that they continuously held such Applicable Security until the time of sale.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
All Eligible Investors, by accepting the Rescission Offer, will also be deemed to have provided certain representations and warranties, acknowledgements and agreements to the Issuer upon acceptance of the Rescission Offer. For further details, see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Eligibility Requirements*," "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Evidence of Eligibility*" and "*The Rescission Offer—Acceptance or Rejection of the Rescission Offer—Representations of Eligible Investors.*"

For the avoidance of doubt, you should assess whether you meet the requirements to qualify as an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor in respect of each Subject Security. For example, you may be an Eligible Current Investor with respect to one Subject Security and an Eligible Former Investor with respect to another. You should make this assessment for each Subject Security in respect of which you wish to accept the Rescission Offer.

The following investors will <u>not</u> be considered Eligible Investors for purposes of the Rescission Offer: (i) holders who purchased Subject Securities through us or our affiliates as agent and not as principal, in respect of Subject Securities acquired pursuant to such transactions; (ii) holders who, either to cover short positions or otherwise, borrowed Subject Securities from us or our affiliates, in respect of Subject Securities borrowed pursuant to such transactions; and (iii) holders of call options, put options or other types of options to purchase, sell or otherwise indirectly acquire or dispose of Subject Securities or an indirect interest therein, in respect of such options.

If you do not meet the requirements to be considered an Eligible Investor, you are not entitled to participate in the Rescission Offer. In particular, if you purchased Subject Securities from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG (or, prior to the Merger Date, through CSG or its affiliates at the time) before October 1, 2023, you are not an Eligible Investor with respect to such Subject Securities.

**When does the Rescission Offer expire?** 

The Rescission Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, which is 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 20, 2026.

**If I do not tender my Applicable Securities, will they be considered to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement?** 

The Subject Securities have now been registered by means of the registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part. Accordingly, whether or not you accept the Rescission Offer, as of the date of this prospectus, your Subject Securities will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement. The Subject Securities currently are unrestricted securities, meaning that they are not "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and are freely tradeable (other than by us or any of our affiliates).

**Am I required to accept the Rescission Offer?** 

No. There is no requirement, legal or otherwise, that you accept the Rescission Offer. Your decision to accept or reject the Rescission Offer is completely voluntary and should be based on your assessment.

**What happens if I accept the Rescission Offer?** 

If you timely and validly accept the Rescission Offer, you will receive from the Issuer the Rescission Offer Proceeds (as defined below) and, if you are an Eligible Current Investor, you will cease to hold the Applicable Securities in respect of which you accepted the Rescission Offer once such Applicable Securities are tendered to the Issuer through ATOP (as defined below) as part of the Rescission Offer acceptance process as described in this prospectus.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
**Should I accept the Rescission Offer?** 

You must make your own decision whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer. In making your decision, you should consider all relevant factors in light of your particular circumstances, including the potential tax consequences of accepting the rescission offer (see the section entitled "*United States Tax Considerations*"). Whether you are an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor, we encourage you to read and carefully consider this prospectus in its entirety, in particular the section headed "*Risk Factors*" and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, for a discussion of certain factors you should carefully consider before deciding whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer.

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, you should also consider your expected return on the Subject Securities should you continue to hold your Applicable Securities to maturity and the possibility that the value of the Subject Securities may increase or decrease after the Expiration Date. You should also consider whether the amount you will receive in the Rescission Offer is expected to be less or more than the amount you could receive if you currently decided to sell the Applicable Securities to a third party.

WE URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS PROSPECTUS BEFORE DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THE RESCISSION OFFER.

**May I accept the Rescission Offer in part with respect to a given series of Subject Securities?** 

Yes, you may accept the Rescission Offer for some or all of your Applicable Securities, as long as such acceptance is for Applicable Securities in the minimum denomination of $1,000, and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

**What will I receive if I accept the Rescission Offer?** 

If you submit the necessary documentation through the Rescission Offer On-line Portal, including evidence showing that you meet the requirements to be deemed an Eligible Investor and you validly accept the Rescission Offer, you will receive the Rescission Offer Proceeds, which will depend on whether you still hold the Applicable Securities or not:

• <u>If you are an Eligible Current Investor who has continued to hold an Applicable Security</u>: upon your tender
of such Applicable Security to the Issuer by accepting the Rescission Offer, the Issuer will pay you an amount equal to the purchase price you paid for such Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction, *plus* interest on such purchase
price from the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days after the Expiration Date and (y) the Settlement Date, *less* the amount of any interest,
coupon payments, principal or other income received on such Applicable Security.

• <u>If you are an Eligible Former Investor having sold the Applicable Security at a loss</u>: the Issuer will pay
you an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the purchase price you paid for such Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction over the proceeds from the Applicable Disposition, *plus* interest (i) on the purchase price you paid for
the Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction from the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction to, and including, the date of the Applicable Disposition and (ii) on the loss realized from the Applicable Disposition from the date
of the Applicable Disposition to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days after the Expiration Date and (y) the Settlement Date, *less* the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or
other income received on such Applicable Security.

**Will indicative and final Rescission Offer Proceeds be published?** 

Eligible Investors that have validly accepted the Rescission Offer will be informed individually of the Rescission Offer Proceeds in respect of their Applicable Securities as soon as practicable following the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Expiration Date and processing of the documents in support of their eligibility provided through the Rescission Offer On-line Portal.

We are unable to calculate indicative Rescission Offer Proceeds for Eligible Investors as the final amount of Rescission Offer Proceeds for each such investor will depend on various factors that may be unknown to us, including the prices paid in Applicable Transactions or received in Applicable Dispositions and the dates of Applicable Dispositions. Eligible Investors should make their own calculations of their Rescission Offer Proceeds.

We advise you to consult your financial, legal, and tax advisers, as you deem appropriate, before making any decision with respect to the Rescission Offer.

For further details, see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Rescission Offer Proceeds.*"

**What interest rate will be used in calculating any amounts owed to me pursuant to the Rescission Offer?** 

The interest rate for a particular Applicable Security will be calculated on the basis of the yield-to-worst value for the Bloomberg Investment Grade: Banking Total Return Index Unhedged (the "Index") on (i) in the case of interest calculated for an Eligible Current Investor Applicable Period or an Eligible Former Investor Holding Applicable Period, the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction in which the applicable Eligible Investor purchased such Applicable Security (or, if the Index was not published on such date, on the next succeeding date on which the Index was published), or (ii) in the case of interest calculated for an Eligible Former Investor Applicable Period, the settlement date of the Applicable Disposition in which such Applicable Security matured or was sold at a loss (or, if the Index was not published on such date, on the next succeeding date on which the Index was published), plus, in each case, a 100 basis point margin (the "Index Rate"). The Index can be accessed at www.bloomberg.com/indices (I00408US Index Ticker).

**When and how will I receive payment if I validly accept the Rescission Offer?** 

If you are an Eligible Investor and you validly accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms hereof, we will cause payment of the Rescission Offer Proceeds to be made to you as soon as reasonably practicable after the Expiration Date (the date of such payment, the "Settlement Date"). The Settlement Date is expected to occur no later than the tenth business day following the Expiration Date. Payment will be made through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or via bank transfer of immediately available funds to your bank account.

**What do I need to do if I want to accept the Rescission Offer?** 

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, in order to accept the Rescission Offer, you must (i) instruct your broker or bank through which your relevant Applicable Securities are held in time for such Applicable Securities to be tendered to the Issuer through ATOP on or before the Expiration Date and (ii) complete, sign and date the accompanying Current Investor Acceptance Form, included as Appendix C, and return it by uploading it to the Rescission Offer On-line Portal (which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG), together with the supporting evidence required therein, so that it is received by us on or before the Expiration Date. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer with respect to such Applicable Securities. Please note that DTC, its participants and the banks or brokers where you hold your Applicable Securities will establish their own cut-off dates and times for the tender of such Applicable Securities, which may be earlier than the Expiration Date. Please check with your broker or bank to determine the appropriate procedure.

If you are an Eligible Former Investor, in order to accept the Rescission Offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying Former Investor Acceptance Form, included as Appendix A, and return it by uploading it to the Rescission Offer On-line Portal (which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG), together with the supporting evidence required therein, so that it is received by us on or before the Expiration Date. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer.

If you are both an Eligible Current Investor and an Eligible Former Investor, in order to accept the Rescission Offer in respect of both the Applicable Securities held by you as an Eligible Current Investor and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
those formerly held by you as an Eligible Former Investor, you must follow the process for accepting the Rescission Offer in each such capacity separately with respect to the relevant Applicable Securities.

You may accept the Rescission Offer for any number of your Applicable Securities, as long as such acceptance is for Subject Securities in the minimum denomination of $1,000, and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

For more details on the procedures for accepting the Rescission Offer, see "*The Rescission Offer—Acceptance or Rejection of the Rescission Offer—How to accept the Rescission Offer.*" For more details on the evidence required, see "*The Rescission Offer—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Evidence of Eligibility.*"

ALL DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE RESCISSION OFFER (INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO THE TIMELINESS OR EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY ELECTION, WITHDRAWAL OR TENDER OF SUBJECT SECURITIES OR EVIDENCE OF ELIGIBILITY), OR THE CALCULATION OF THE RESCISSION OFFER PROCEEDS WILL BE MADE BY US, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, WHICH DETERMINATIONS SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING, ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR DETERMINED BY US IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

**What happens if I do not accept the Rescission Offer?** 

If you do not accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer and will continue to own any Applicable Securities still held by you, receive interest payments, coupon payments or other income on such Applicable Securities in accordance with their terms and be paid their principal amount upon maturity or early redemption as described and subject to the terms, conditions and risk factors set out under "*Description of the Subject Securities*" and in the Issuance Prospectus. Furthermore, the Subject Securities not tendered in the Rescission Offer will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The rights remaining to the recipients of a rescission offer are not clearly delineated under federal or certain state securities laws. If you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer, it is unclear whether your federal right of rescission, if any, will be preserved. The few federal courts that have addressed this issue in the past have suggested that, at least in certain circumstances, a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer may be precluded from later seeking similar relief. See "*Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer—Your right of rescission under federal and state law may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer.*"

**What do I need to do to reject the Rescission Offer?** 

You do not need to take any action to reject the Rescission Offer. If you do not tender your Applicable Securities or you do not submit the required information in either case so that it is received by us on or before the Expiration Date, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer.

**Can I change my mind after I have accepted the Rescission Offer?** 

Yes. You can change your decision about accepting the Rescission Offer at any time on or before the Expiration Date as described below.

<u>If you are an Eligible Current Investor</u>, you can do this by instructing your broker or bank, through which your relevant Applicable Securities are held, to withdraw your previously tendered Subject Securities in time for the transmission by your broker or bank of your instructions to be received by us on or before the Expiration Date. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have accepted the Rescission Offer and tendered such Subject Securities to the Issuer under the terms of any relevant previous instructions and acceptance form. Please note that DTC, its participants and the banks or brokers where you hold your Subject Securities will establish their own cut-off dates and times for withdrawal of any tender of the Subject Securities, which may be earlier than the Expiration

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Date. Please check with your broker or bank to determine the appropriate procedure. Withdrawals of tenders of Subject Securities by Eligible Current Investors may not be revoked, and any such Subject Securities properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Rescission Offer. Subject Securities properly withdrawn by Eligible Current Investors may, however, be re-tendered by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" and "*—Procedures for Brokers and Banks; DTC ATOP Account*" below, at any time on or before the Expiration Date.

<u>If you are an Eligible Former Investor</u>, in order to change a previous decision to accept the Rescission Offer and withdraw your acceptance of the Rescission Offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying Rescission Offer Withdrawal Form, included as Appendix B, and upload it to the Rescission Offer On-line Portal (which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG), so that it is received by us on or before the Expiration Date. Otherwise, you will be deemed to have accepted the Rescission Offer under the terms of your previously submitted acceptance form. Withdrawals of their acceptance of the Rescission Offer may not be revoked by Eligible Former Investors, and any such properly withdrawn acceptance will thereafter be deemed not a valid acceptance for purposes of the Rescission Offer. You may, however, re-accept the Rescission Offer by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" below, at any time on or before the Expiration Date.

In either case, the relevant withdrawal instruction or form, together with the supporting evidence required therein, if any, must be received by us on or before the Expiration Date. For more details on the appropriate procedures, see "*The Rescission Offer—Acceptance or Rejection of the Rescission Offer—How to accept the Rescission Offer.*"

ALL DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE RESCISSION OFFER (INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO THE TIMELINESS OR EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY ELECTION, TENDER OR WITHDRAWAL OF SUBJECT SECURITIES OR EVIDENCE OF ELIGIBILITY), THE CALCULATION OF THE RESCISSION OFFER PROCEEDS OR THE RESCISSION OFFER WITHDRAWAL FORM WILL BE MADE BY US, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, WHICH DETERMINATIONS SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING, ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR DETERMINED BY US IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

**What is the effect of the Rescission Offer on my ability to assert claims?** 

The rights remaining to the recipients of a rescission offer are not clearly delineated under the federal or certain state securities laws. The few federal courts that have addressed this issue in the past have suggested that, at least in certain circumstances, a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer may be precluded from later seeking similar relief. For a more detailed description of the effect of the Rescission Offer on any applicable federal and certain state securities law claims, please see the risk factors entitled "*Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer—The Rescission Offer may not bar claims relating to non-compliance with securities laws, and we may continue to be contingently liable for rescission or damages in an indeterminate amount*" and "*Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer—Your right of rescission under federal and state law may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer.*"

**If I accept the Rescission Offer, will I experience any tax consequences?** 

For a more detailed description of the tax consequences of the Rescission Offer, see the section entitled "*United States Tax Considerations.*" You should consult your own tax adviser, as you deem appropriate, regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and other tax consequences of participating in the Rescission Offer.

**Who can help answer my questions in relation to the Rescission Offer?** 

If you have questions or require additional information about the Rescission Offer acceptance procedures, you may contact the broker, bank or other institution through which you purchased your Subject Security. In addition, if you are an Eligible Former Investor, information regarding how to obtain technical support in relation to the submission of your Rescission Offer acceptance or withdrawal form and supporting evidence of eligibility will be available through the Rescission Offer On-line Portal.

**RISK FACTORS** 

*An investment in the Subject Securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors and the other information contained in this prospectus and the UBS Group AG 2024 20-F and the UBS AG 2024 20-F, and the other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding to accept or reject the Rescission Offer or invest in Subject Securities.* 

**Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer** 

***The Rescission Offer may not bar claims relating to non-compliance with securities laws, and we may continue to be contingently liable for rescission or damages in an indeterminate amount.***

It is not certain that the Rescission Offer will have the effect of barring claims relating to non-compliance with applicable federal securities laws in relation to the Subject Securities. If a person accepts the Rescission Offer, we believe our potential liability to that person will be eliminated. If a person rejects or fails to respond to the Rescission Offer, we may continue to be contingently liable for rescission or damages. In addition, the Rescission Offer will not prevent various other private claims from being asserted against us and/or our affiliates, including claims under applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Further, the Rescission Offer will not bar the SEC or other authorities from pursuing enforcement actions against us and/or our affiliates, which could result in fines, penalties and/or other sanctions. Any such private claims or enforcement actions could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

***Your right of rescission under federal and state law may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer.***

The rights remaining to the recipients of a rescission offer are not clearly delineated under federal or certain state securities laws. If you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer, it is unclear whether your federal right of rescission, if any, will be preserved. The few federal courts that have addressed this issue in the past have suggested that, at least in certain circumstances, a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer may be precluded from later seeking similar relief.

The Rescission Offer may also affect your right of rescission and your right to damages, if any, under state law. We believe that the sale of Subject Securities in Market-Making Transactions was exempt from registration under state laws. Furthermore, we believe that the Rescission Offer is exempt from registration under the laws of such states. However, we do not make any representation as to the compliance of the Rescission Offer with applicable state law. Under most state laws, acceptance or rejection of rescission offers may preclude offerees from initiating an action against the rescission offeror in connection with the registration of securities that are the subject of the rescission offer. We may assert, among other defenses, in any litigation initiated by a person eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer who accepts or rejects (or is deemed to reject) the Rescission Offer, that such person is legally barred from asserting such claims as a result of the Rescission Offer.

Generally, the statute of limitations for enforcement of federal statutory rights of rescission or rescissory damages by a security holder is one year commencing on the date the security was sold in violation of the federal registration requirements. Pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Act, the statute of repose is three years after the security was *bona fide* offered to the public. Statutes of limitations under state laws vary by state, with the limitation time period under many state statutes not typically beginning until the facts giving rise to a violation are known. The Rescission Offer is not an admission that we or our affiliates did not comply with any federal and state registration or disclosure requirements as to specific securities or transactions, nor is it a waiver by us or our affiliates of any applicable statute of limitations or repose or any other potential defense we may have. However, we have decided to make the Rescission Offer to certain otherwise Eligible Investors that purchased Subject Securities during the Relevant Period even if now outside the applicable period of limitations or repose. Determining when a statute of limitations or repose expires under federal or state law can be a difficult issue and you should consult with an attorney if you have any questions regarding how federal or state statutes of limitations or repose may apply to any claims you may have.

***We cannot predict, if you are an Eligible Current Investor, whether the amounts you would receive in the Rescission Offer as a result of tendering your Subject Securities would be greater than the amounts you may receive for the Subject Securities from a third-party buyer. Nor can we predict whether the amounts that a third-party buyer might pay for the Subject Securities will be affected by the Rescission Offer.***

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, the amount you would receive in the Rescission Offer as a result of tendering your Subject Securities is determined by a set formula which is not tied to the market value of the Subject Securities at the time the Rescission Offer closes on the Expiration Date. The amount you would receive in the Rescission Offer will be reduced by the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income due on such Applicable Securities pursuant to their terms. In addition, when you accept the Rescission Offer, you will be deemed to have represented and warranted, acknowledged and agreed, as part of the terms of the acceptance of the Rescission Offer, that you will repay to us any such amounts that, for any operational or technical reason or otherwise, were not deducted from the Rescission Offer Proceeds prior to those being paid to you. As a result, if you are an Eligible Current Investor and accept the Rescission Offer, you may receive or retain less than the market value of the Subject Securities that you would be tendering to us. Further, we cannot anticipate subsequent market developments, whether at the time or after payment is made, or the future market value of the Subject Securities, nor can we predict whether such market value will be affected by the Rescission Offer.

***You may be subject to certain tax consequences if you accept or reject the Rescission Offer.***

Your decision to accept or reject the Rescission Offer may subject you to certain U.S. federal income tax consequences. See "*United States Tax Considerations*" below.

**USE OF PROCEEDS** 

We will receive no proceeds from the Rescission Offer. We do not expect to receive any proceeds from resales of Subject Securities by UBS Securities LLC, UBS Financial Services Inc. or any of our other affiliates in market-making transactions. We expect our affiliates to retain the proceeds of their market-making resales and not to pay the proceeds to us.

**THE RESCISSION OFFER** 

**Background and Reasons for the Rescission Offer** 

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to a registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act. Following the Group Merger, affiliates of UBS Group AG made a market in the Subject Securities, including by conducting secondary resales of the Subject Securities to unaffiliated investors (i.e., the Market-Making Transactions). The Market-Making Transactions were made pursuant to an effective registration statement under Section 5 of the Securities Act until October 2023, when UBS Group AG determined to cease using such registration statement. Certain affiliates of UBS Group AG continued to conduct Market-Making Transactions, without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, certain offers and sales of the Subject Securities were not made in full compliance with the Securities Act, giving rise to rights of rescission for certain purchasers of the Subject Securities in an Applicable Transaction. The Issuer has therefore elected to make the Rescission Offer to those purchasers.

On February 12, 2026, the Issuer, UBS Group AG and UBS AG filed a registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part. The Subject Securities have been registered by means of this registration statement.

The Rescission Offer is not an admission that we or our affiliates did not comply with applicable federal securities law requirements as to specific securities or transactions, nor is it a waiver by us or our affiliates of any applicable statute of limitations or repose.

**Effect of the Rescission Offer** 

If you reject, or fail to accept, the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date, or if you accept the Rescission Offer but we determine that you are not eligible to accept the Rescission Offer under the terms set forth in this prospectus, you will retain ownership of any Subject Securities you still hold and will not receive any payment for such Subject Securities. In addition, any Subject Securities that you still hold, for purposes of applicable federal securities law, will have been registered as of the date of this prospectus.

We believe that the applicable statute of limitations for potential claims for rescission or rescissory damages under the Securities Act is one year from the date of sale of such security in violation of the federal registration requirements, and the statute of repose is three years after such sale. Determining when a statute of limitations or repose expires under federal or state law can be a difficult issue, and you should consult with an attorney if you have any questions regarding how federal or state statutes of limitations or repose may apply to any claims you have or regarding any of your legal rights and remedies before deciding whether or not to accept the Rescission Offer.

Your acceptance of the Rescission Offer may preclude you from later seeking similar relief, if any is available. We may assert, among other defenses, in any litigation initiated by a person eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer who accepts or rejects (or is deemed to reject) the Rescission Offer, that such person is legally barred from asserting such claims as a result of the Rescission Offer. For federal securities law purposes, it is unclear what the effect of a rejection of or the failure to accept a rescission offer may be on an offeree's right to bring a civil action against the rescission offeror for failure to register a securities transaction under the Securities Act before expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or repose. The few federal courts that have addressed this issue in the past have suggested that, at least in certain circumstances, a person who rejects or fails to accept a rescission offer may be precluded from later seeking similar relief. Each person is urged to consider this possibility with respect to the Rescission Offer. The Rescission Offer is not an admission that we or our affiliates did not comply with applicable federal requirements as to specific securities, nor is it a waiver by us or our affiliates of any applicable statute of limitations or repose. However, we have decided to make the Rescission Offer to certain otherwise Eligible Investors that purchased Subject Securities during the Relevant Period even if now outside the period of limitations or repose.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
The above discussion relates primarily to your potential rescission rights and does not address other provisions of federal securities laws or rights under state securities laws, common law or equity. We believe that the Market-Making Transactions were exempt from registration under state laws. Furthermore, we believe that the Rescission Offer is exempt from registration under state laws. See "*Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer—The Rescission Offer may not bar claims relating to non-compliance with securities laws, and we may continue to be contingently liable for rescission or damages in an indeterminate amount*" and "*Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Rescission Offer—Your right of rescission under federal and state law may not survive if you affirmatively reject or fail to accept the Rescission Offer.*"

The Subject Securities have now been registered by means of the registration statement on Form F-3 of which this prospectus forms a part. Accordingly, whether or not you accept the Rescission Offer, as of the date of this prospectus, your Subject Securities will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement. The Subject Securities currently are unrestricted securities, meaning that they are not "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and are freely tradeable (other than by us or any of our affiliates).

**Terms of the Rescission Offer** 

If you are an Eligible Investor and validly accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date, you will have the right to receive from us the Rescission Offer Proceeds, subject to the terms below.

***Subject Securities***

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to the Indenture. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the Group Merger, UBS Group AG expressly assumed all of CSG's obligations as guarantor under the Indenture. Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the Parent Bank Merger, UBS AG expressly assumed all of CS AG's obligations as guarantor under the Indenture. Pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the UBS Americas Merger, UBS Americas expressly assumed all of CS USA's obligations as issuer under the Indenture and the Subject Securities.

On the date of this prospectus the outstanding principal amount of the Subject Securities was $742,344,000, as indicated below.

The Subject Securities are not deposit liabilities and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of the United States, Switzerland or any other jurisdiction. The Subject Securities do not have the benefit of any agency or governmental guarantee.

***Eligibility Requirements***

To be eligible to participate in the Rescission Offer with respect to a given Subject Security, you must make representations and warranties and provide us with evidence to the following effects:

1. To be deemed an "Eligible Current Investor":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. You purchased the relevant Subject Security during the Relevant Period from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS
Group AG; and

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. You still hold such Applicable Security as of the date of this prospectus, and will continue to hold (unless
and until tendered through ATOP pursuant to the Rescission Offer) until the Expiration Date, free and clear of any liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, interests and restrictions of any kind.

2. To be deemed an "Eligible Former Investor":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. You purchased the relevant Subject Security during the Relevant Period from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS
Group AG; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. You no longer hold such Applicable Security as of the date of this prospectus and such Applicable Security has
been sold at a loss, provided that you continuously held such Applicable Security until the time of sale.

Eligible Current Investors and Eligible Former Investors are collectively referred to as "Eligible Investors."

For the avoidance of doubt, you should assess whether you meet the requirements to qualify as an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor in respect of each Subject Security. For example, you may be an Eligible Current Investor with respect to one Subject Security and an Eligible Former Investor with respect to another. You should make this assessment for each Subject Security in respect of which you wish to accept the Rescission Offer.

The following investors will <u>not</u> be considered Eligible Investors for purposes of the Rescission Offer: (i) holders who purchased Subject Securities through us or our affiliates as agent and not as principal, in respect of Subject Securities acquired pursuant to such transactions; (ii) holders who, either to cover short positions or otherwise, borrowed Subject Securities from us or our affiliates, in respect of Subject Securities borrowed pursuant to such transactions; and (iii) holders of call options, put options or other types of options to purchase, sell or otherwise indirectly acquire or dispose of the Subject Securities or an indirect interest therein, in respect of such options.

If you do not meet the requirements to be considered an Eligible Investor, you are not entitled to participate in the Rescission Offer. In particular, if you purchased Subject Securities from UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG (or, prior to the Group Merger Date, through CSG or its affiliates at the time) before October 1, 2023, you are not an Eligible Investor with respect to such Subject Securities.

***Rescission Offer Proceeds***

*Description of Rescission Offer Proceeds* 

If you are an Eligible Investor and you validly accept the Rescission Offer, the price you will receive for a particular Applicable Security (such price in respect of such Applicable Security, the "Rescission Offer Proceeds") will depend on whether you are an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor with respect to such Applicable Security and be determined as follows:

• If you are an Eligible Current Investor with respect to such Applicable Security, if you accept the Rescission
Offer in respect of such Applicable Security in accordance with the terms hereof, the Issuer will pay you an amount equal to the purchase price you paid for such Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction, *plus* interest on such
purchase price from the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days after the Expiration Date and (y) the Settlement Date, *less* the amount of any
interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received on such Applicable Security, as represented in the following formula:

*A =* *P + I – R*

*where:*

*A* = Rescission Offer Proceeds

*P* = purchase price

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *I* = | interest equal to the Index Rate (as defined below) for such Applicable Security multiplied by the purchase price and multiplied by the aggregate of the Day-Count Fraction (as defined below) for each calendar year within the Eligible Current Investor Applicable Period  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *R* = | total amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received by the Eligible Current Investor on the Applicable Security  |

---

• If you are an Eligible Former Investor with respect to such Applicable Security, if you accept the Rescission
Offer in respect of such Applicable Security in accordance with the terms hereof, the Issuer will pay you an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the purchase price you paid for such Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction over the
proceeds from the Applicable Disposition, *plus* interest (i) on the purchase price you paid for the Applicable Security in the Applicable Transaction from the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction to, and including, the date of
the Applicable Disposition and (ii) on the loss realized from the Applicable Disposition from the date of the Applicable Disposition to, and including, the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is five business days after the Expiration
Date and (y) the Settlement Date, *less* the amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received on such Applicable Security, as represented in the following formula:

*A =* *(P–D)+ I1 + I2 – R*

*where:*

*A* = Rescission Offer Proceeds

*P* = purchase price

*D* = proceeds from the Applicable Disposition

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *I1* = | interest equal to the Index Rate (as defined below) for such Applicable Security multiplied by the purchase price and multiplied by the aggregate of the Day-Count Fraction (as defined below) for each calendar year within the Eligible Former Investor Holding Applicable Period  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *I2* = | interest equal to the Index Rate (as defined below) for such Applicable Security multiplied by the loss realized from the Applicable Disposition (i.e., *P-D*) and multiplied by the aggregate of the Day-Count Fraction (as defined below) for each calendar year within the Eligible Former Investor Applicable Period  |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *R* = | total amount of any interest, coupon payments, principal, or other income received by the Eligible Former Investor on the Applicable Security  |

---

All references to the purchase price or proceeds from an Applicable Disposition exclude any accrued interest, fees, selling concessions or other additional amounts.

All Rescission Offer Proceeds will be rounded to the nearest cent.

*Interest Component of the Rescission Offer Proceeds* 

In calculating the Rescission Offer Proceeds, we will use an interest rate calculated for a particular Applicable Security on the basis of the yield-to-worst value for the Bloomberg Investment Grade: Banking Total Return Index Unhedged (the "Index") on (i) in the case of interest calculated for an Eligible Current Investor Applicable Period or an Eligible Former Investor Holding Applicable Period, the settlement date of the Applicable Transaction in which the applicable Eligible Investor purchased such Applicable Security (or, if the Index was not published on such date, on the next succeeding date on which the Index was published), or (ii) in the case of interest calculated for an Eligible Former Investor Applicable Period, the settlement date of the Applicable Disposition in which such Applicable Security matured or was sold at a loss (or, if the Index was not published on such date, on the next succeeding date on which the Index was published), plus, in each case, a 100 basis point margin (the "Index Rate"). The Index can be accessed at www.bloomberg.com/indices (I00408US Index Ticker).

For purposes of determining the amount of interest included in the Rescission Offer Proceeds in respect of a particular Applicable Security, the day-count fraction for any calendar year within an Applicable Period shall be equal to the actual number of days in such calendar year that occur during such Applicable Period divided by the actual number of days in such calendar year (i.e., Actual/Actual) (the "Day-Count Fraction").

Although this prospectus uses the term "interest" when describing the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, the term is only intended to describe the method used to calculate the payment amount, and the payment is not considered interest for federal income tax purposes, but rather is included in the amount realized from the sale of the Subject Securities.

*Deduction of any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income due on Subject Securities* 

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, you will continue to receive any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income due on your Subject Security pursuant to its terms until you tender such Subject Security to the Issuer through ATOP; provided, however, that (i) any such amounts received by you prior to or during the Rescission Offer, or following the Expiration Date, will be deducted from the Rescission Offer Proceeds pursuant to this prospectus and (ii) you will be deemed to have represented and warranted, acknowledged and agreed, as part of the terms of the acceptance of the Rescission Offer, that you will repay to the Issuer any such amounts that, for any operational or technical reason or otherwise, were not deducted from the Rescission Offer Proceeds prior to those being paid to you.

If you are an Eligible Former Investor, any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income received on your Subject Security prior to or during the Rescission Offer, or following the Expiration Date, will be deducted

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
from the Rescission Offer Proceeds pursuant to this prospectus and you will be deemed to have represented and warranted, acknowledged and agreed, as part of the terms of the acceptance of the Rescission Offer, that you will repay to the Issuer any such amounts that, for any operational or technical reason or otherwise, were not deducted from the Rescission Offer Proceeds prior to those being paid to you.

As a result, if you accept the Rescission Offer in respect of any Subject Security, (1) the amount equal to the purchase price you paid for such Subject Security, plus interest on such purchase price (as described in the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds), in case you are an Eligible Current Investor or (2) the amount equal to the excess, if any, of the purchase price you paid for such Subject Security over the proceeds from the subsequent sale of such Subject Security, plus interest (as described in the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds) in case you are an Eligible Former Investor, will be offset in part or in full by deductions made by us or reimbursements you owe to the Issuer to account for any interest, coupon payments, principal or other income due on such Subject Security pursuant to its terms.

Therefore, you may not receive any amount as a result of accepting the Rescission Offer. You must make your own decision whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer. We are not making any determinations as to whether it is in your economic interest to do so. We urge you to carefully review this prospectus before deciding whether or not to accept or reject the Rescission Offer.

*Publication of Rescission Offer Proceeds* 

We will endeavor to publish in a press release with available information regarding the results of the Rescission Offer as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. Eligible Investors that have validly accepted the Rescission Offer will be informed individually of the Rescission Offer Proceeds in respect of their Applicable Securities as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date and processing of the documents in support of their eligibility provided through the Rescission Offer On-line Portal.

We are unable to calculate indicative Rescission Offer Proceeds for Eligible Investors as the final amount of Rescission Offer Proceeds for each such investor will depend on various factors that may be unknown to us, including the prices paid in Applicable Transactions or received in Applicable Disposition and the dates of Applicable Dispositions. Eligible Investors should make their own calculations of the Rescission Offer Proceeds.

We advise you to consult your financial, legal, and tax advisers, as you deem appropriate, before making any decision with respect to the Rescission Offer.

*Payment of the Rescission Offer Proceeds* 

The Rescission Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, which is 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 20, 2026.

If you are an Eligible Investor and you validly accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms hereof, we will cause payment of the Rescission Offer Proceeds to be made to you on the Settlement Date, which is expected to be no later than ten business days following the Expiration Date. Payment will be made through DTC or via bank transfer of immediately available funds to your bank account.

None of us, our affiliates or any of our or our affiliates' executive officers or directors makes any recommendations to any person with respect to the Rescission Offer. We urge you to read this prospectus carefully and to make an independent evaluation with respect to the Rescission Offer. We also urge you to consult with your advisers, as you deem appropriate, before accepting or rejecting the Rescission Offer.

BY ACCEPTING THE RESCISSION OFFER YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY OTHER PAYMENTS ON YOUR APPLICABLE SECURITIES OTHER THAN PAYMENT OF THE RESCISSION OFFER PROCEEDS AS DETAILED ABOVE.

The disposal of the Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer may be subject to information reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). You may also be subject to backup withholding on payments in respect of your Subject Securities unless you provide proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Before the settlement of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, U.S. holders (which include U.S. citizens and residents) will need to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 and non-U.S. holders will need to complete IRS Form W-8. Please review the section entitled "*United States Tax Considerations*" to determine if you qualify as a U.S. holder or a non-U.S. holder. You may participate in the Rescission Offer even if you do not complete your IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8). However, if your properly completed IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8) is not received before the settlement of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, we may be required to withhold additional amounts from the Rescission Offer Proceeds and the IRS may impose certain penalties.

**Acceptance or Rejection of the Rescission Offer** 

YOU ARE NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED TO ACCEPT THE RESCISSION OFFER.

All acceptances of the Rescission Offer will be deemed to be effective on the Expiration Date, at which time your right to accept the Rescission Offer will terminate. You can withdraw any previous acceptance of the Rescission Offer prior to the Expiration Date. While withdrawals may not be revoked, and any Subject Securities properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Rescission Offer, such Subject Securities may be re-tendered by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" at any time on or before the Expiration Date. Whether or not you accept the Rescission Offer, as of the date of this prospectus, the Subject Securities will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement.

IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THE EFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE RESCISSION OFFER WILL BE ON YOUR RIGHT TO BRING A CIVIL ACTION AGAINST US ALLEGING A FAILURE TO REGISTER THE MARKET-MAKING TRANSACTIONS UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. HOWEVER, FEDERAL LAW DOES PROVIDE THAT YOU MAY LOSE ANY RESCISSION RIGHTS UNDER FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE OF THE APPLICABLE SECURITIES AND THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE SUCH SECURITIES WERE BONA FIDE OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.

***How to accept the Rescission Offer***

You may accept the Rescission Offer for any number of Applicable Securities, as long as such acceptance is for Subject Securities in the minimum denomination of $1,000, and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

<u>If you are an Eligible Current Investor</u>: Because the Subject Securities are represented by global book-entry notes, DTC or its nominee is treated as the registered holder of such Subject Securities and will be the only entity that can tender the Subject Securities for repurchase by the Issuer. Therefore, to tender your Applicable Securities in order to obtain the Rescission Offer Proceeds for them, you must instruct the institution where you hold your Applicable Securities to tender your Applicable Securities on your behalf so that they are received on or before the Expiration Date.

YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR APPLICABLE SECURITIES TO DETERMINE THE PREFERRED PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING YOUR APPLICABLE SECURITIES.

IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THE RESCISSION OFFER, PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR APPLICABLE SECURITIES IN TIME FOR YOUR APPLICABLE

See "*—Terms of the Rescission Offer—Rescission Offer Proceeds.*" You will resume receipt of interest, coupons payments, principal and other income due on such Subject Security pursuant to its terms upon a valid withdrawal of such previously tendered Subject Security. See "*—Terms of the Rescission Offer—How to Reject the Rescission Offer.*" 

All determinations with respect to the Rescission Offer (including issues relating to the timeliness or effectiveness of any election, withdrawal or the tender of the Subject Securities or evidence of eligibility) or the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds will be made by us, in our sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding, absent manifest error determined by us in our sole discretion.

<u>If you are an Eligible Former Investor</u>: In the event you elect to accept the Rescission Offer, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying Former Investor Acceptance Form, included as Appendix A to this prospectus, and return it by uploading it to the Rescission Offer On-line Portal (which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG), so that it is received by us (together with the supporting evidence required therein) on or before the Expiration Date.

If you are both an Eligible Current Investor and an Eligible Former Investor, in order to accept the Rescission Offer in respect of both the Applicable Securities held by you as an Eligible Current Investor and those formerly held as an Eligible Former Investor, you must follow the process for accepting the Rescission Offer in each such capacity separately with respect to the relevant Applicable Securities.

***Eligible Current Investors: Procedures for Brokers and Banks; DTC ATOP Account***

If you are an Eligible Current Investor, in order to accept the Rescission Offer on your behalf, your broker or bank must submit, or cause the DTC participant who holds the Applicable Securities on your behalf to submit, an Agent's Message (as defined below).

Kroll Issuer Services US (the "Rescission Agent"), on our behalf, will seek to establish an Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") account with respect to the Subject Securities at DTC promptly after the delivery of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant, including your broker or bank, may make book-entry tender of Subject Securities by causing the book-entry transfer of such Subject Securities to our ATOP account in accordance with DTC's procedures for such transfers. Concurrently with the delivery of the Subject Securities, an Agent's Message in connection with such book-entry transfer must be transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Rescission Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer into the ATOP account as described above is referred to herein as a "Book-Entry Confirmation."

The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the DTC participants to DTC, and thereafter transmitted by DTC to the Rescission Agent, forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the DTC participant described in such Agent's Message stating that such DTC participant and beneficial owner agree to be bound by the terms of the Rescission Offer.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Each Agent's Message must include the following information:

1. the name of the relevant DTC participant;

2. the phone number of the relevant DTC participant; and

3. any additional information deemed necessary by the DTC participant, subject to the applicable character limit.

BY SENDING AN AGENT'S MESSAGE, THE DTC PARTICIPANT IS DEEMED TO HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THE BENEFICIAL OWNER FOR WHOM THE SUBJECT SECURITIES ARE BEING TENDERED MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED AN ELIGIBLE CURRENT INVESTOR, STILL HOLDS SUCH SUBJECT SECURITIES AND HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. WE MAY REQUIRE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION VERIFYING THIS INFORMATION.

The delivery of the Subject Securities through DTC, and any transmission of an Agent's Message through ATOP, is at the election and risk of the person tendering the Subject Securities. We will ask the Rescission Agent to instruct DTC to return those Subject Securities, if any, that were tendered through ATOP but were not accepted by the Issuer, to the DTC participant that tendered such Subject Securities on behalf of the holders of such Subject Securities. Neither we nor the Rescission Agent is responsible or liable for the return of such Subject Securities to the tendering DTC participants or to the beneficial owners, nor as to the time by which such return is completed.

We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Subject Securities that are not in proper form, including, without limitation, lack of satisfactory records that the tendering holder is an Eligible Current Investor with respect to the Subject Securities tendered, or the acceptance of which, in our opinion, would be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Subject Securities.

Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Rescission Offer, including, without limitation, the instructions in any Agent's Message, will be final and binding; however, an Eligible Current Investor may, in his, her, or its discretion, challenge the rejection of a tender of Applicable Securities and/or an interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Rescission Offer in a court of competent jurisdiction.

We encourage tenders of Applicable Securities to be submitted early. Any defect or irregularity in connection with tenders of Subject Securities must be cured on or before the Expiration Date, unless waived by us. Tenders of Subject Securities will not be deemed to have been made until all defects and irregularities have been waived by us or cured. Neither we, nor any other person, will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Subject Securities, or will incur any liability to Eligible Current Investors for failure to give any such notice.

***How to reject the Rescission Offer***

Regardless of whether you are an Eligible Current Investor or an Eligible Former Investor, you do not need to take any action to reject the Rescission Offer. If you do not accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer and, if you are a Eligible Current Investor, and continue to hold any Subject Securities, you will receive interest payments on such Subject Securities at their stated rate and will be paid their principal amount in accordance with their terms, conditions and risk factors, each as described under "*Description of the Subject Securities*" and in the Issuance Prospectus. Furthermore, the Subject Securities not repurchased in the Rescission Offer will be deemed to have been offered and sold under an effective registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

If you had previously accepted the Rescission Offer but you change your decision and want to reject the Rescission Offer, you may withdraw your acceptance of the Rescission Offer at any time on or before the Expiration Date, pursuant to the instructions below. If you validly withdraw your acceptance of the Rescission

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Offer, you will be deemed to have rejected the Rescission Offer. While withdrawals may not be revoked, Subject Securities properly withdrawn may be re-tendered by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" above at any time on or before the Expiration Date.

<u>If you are an Eligible Current Investor</u>: For a withdrawal of tendered Subject Securities to be effective, you should contact your bank or broker where your Subject Securities are held and have them submit a properly transmitted "Requested Message" through ATOP, which must be received by the Rescission Agent through ATOP.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RESCISSION OFFER AND YOU CHANGE YOUR ELECTION, YOU MUST INSTRUCT YOUR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR SUBJECT SECURITIES IN TIME FOR YOUR TENDER OF SUBJECT SECURITIES TO BE WITHDRAWN ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE RESCISSION OFFER. WE WILL, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR RESCISSION OFFER WITHDRAWAL HAS BEEN PROPERLY COMPLETED AND TIMELY RECEIVED AND WHETHER YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO WITHDRAW YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE RESCISSION OFFER.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DTC, ITS PARTICIPANTS AND THE BANKS OR BROKERS WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR SUBJECT SECURITIES WILL ESTABLISH THEIR OWN CUT-OFF DATES AND TIMES FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF ANY TENDER OF THE SUBJECT SECURITIES, WHICH MAY BE EARLIER THAN THE EXPIRATION DATE.

All determinations with respect to the Rescission Offer (including issues relating to the timeliness or effectiveness of any election, withdrawal or the tender of the Subject Securities or evidence of eligibility) or the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds will be made by us, in our sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding, absent manifest error determined by us in our sole discretion.

Withdrawals of tenders of the Subject Securities by Eligible Current Investors may not be revoked, and any Subject Securities properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Rescission Offer. Properly withdrawn Subject Securities may, however, be re-tendered by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" and "*—Procedures for Brokers and Banks; DTC ATOP Account*" above, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

<u>If you are an Eligible Former Investor</u>: If you change your decision and want to reject the Rescission Offer after having submitted a Former Investor Acceptance Form, you must complete, sign and date the accompanying Rescission Offer Withdrawal Form, included as Appendix B to this prospectus, and return it by uploading it to the Rescission Offer On-line Portal (which can be accessed at https://deals.is.kroll.com/UBSgroupAG), so that it is received by us on or before the Expiration Date.

The Rescission Offer Withdrawal Form must be legible. If you choose to withdraw and revoke your previous acceptance of the Rescission Offer, we recommend that you return the Rescission Offer Withdrawal Form sufficiently in advance of the Expiration Date to ensure its receipt by us by the Expiration Date. Submission will be deemed made only when a confirmation that the upload was successfully completed is displayed in the Rescission Offer On-line Portal.

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED THE RESCISSION OFFER AND YOU CHANGE YOUR ELECTION, WE MUST RECEIVE YOUR LEGIBLE AND PROPERLY COMPLETED RESCISSION OFFER WITHDRAWAL FORM ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THE RESCISSION OFFER PURSUANT TO YOUR ELECTION ON THE LAST EFFECTIVE FORMER INVESTOR ACCEPTANCE FORM YOU SUBMITTED. WE WILL, IN OUR

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
SOLE DISCRETION, DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR RESCISSION OFFER WITHDRAWAL FORM HAS BEEN PROPERLY COMPLETED AND TIMELY RECEIVED AND WHETHER YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO WITHDRAW YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE RESCISSION OFFER.

Withdrawals of their acceptance of the Rescission Offer may not be revoked by Eligible Former Investors, and any such properly withdrawn acceptance will thereafter be deemed not a valid acceptance for purposes of the Rescission Offer. You may, however, re-accept the Rescission Offer by following the procedures described in "*—How to accept the Rescission Offer*" above, at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

All determinations with respect to the Rescission Offer (including issues relating to the timeliness or effectiveness of any election or tender of Subject Securities or evidence of eligibility), the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds or the withdrawal instructions or the Rescission Offer Withdrawal Form will be made by us, in our sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding, absent manifest error determined by us in our sole discretion.

**Other Terms and Conditions** 

The Rescission Offer will expire on the Expiration Date, which is 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 20, 2026, i.e., 30 days from the date of this prospectus (including the date of this prospectus and the Expiration Date), unless extended by us. We expressly reserve the right to extend the term of the Rescission Offer. During any extension of the term of the Rescission Offer, all Subject Securities previously tendered, not validly withdrawn and not yet accepted for rescission will remain subject to the Rescission Offer and may be accepted for rescission by us. To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we expressly reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, to waive any condition to the Rescission Offer.

ALTHOUGH WE HAVE NO PRESENT PLANS OR ARRANGEMENTS TO DO SO, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO AMEND, AT ANY TIME, THE TERMS OF THE RESCISSION OFFER. WE WILL GIVE HOLDERS NOTICE OF ANY AMENDMENTS IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

The conditions to the Rescission Offer are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us in our sole discretion or may be waived by us, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion, whether or not any other condition of the Rescission Offer also is waived. We have not made a decision as to what circumstances would lead us to waive any condition, and any waiver would depend on circumstances prevailing at the time of that waiver. Any determination by us concerning the conditions described in this section shall be final and binding upon all persons, subject to the provision in the penultimate paragraph of the subsection entitled "—*Procedures for Brokers and Banks; DTC ATOP Account*."

Any waiver or amendment to the Rescission Offer will apply to all the Subject Securities that were tendered and to all acceptances of the Rescission Offer by Eligible Former Investors. If we make a material change in the terms of the Rescission Offer or if we waive a material condition of the Rescission Offer, we will disseminate additional Rescission Offer materials. If the amendment or waiver is made less than ten business days before the expiration of the Rescission Offer, we will extend the Rescission Offer so that holders have at least ten business days to accept, or withdraw acceptances to, the Rescission Offer.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the Rescission Offer if any of the conditions set forth in this prospectus have not been satisfied by the Eligible Investors or waived by us. In the event we terminate the Rescission Offer, we will notify you of the termination, and all Subject Securities previously tendered and not yet accepted for rescission will be returned promptly to the tendering holders.

If any Subject Securities tendered by Eligible Current Investors are not accepted for rescission for any reason, such Subject Securities will be returned, at our expense, to the tendering holder via book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the holder's broker or bank at DTC, promptly following the Expiration Date or the termination or withdrawal of the Rescission Offer. The holder's broker or bank will be responsible for crediting the transfer into the holder's individual account.

The Subject Securities were issued pursuant to the senior indenture dated as of June 1, 2001 (the "Base Indenture"), between CS USA and the Trustee, as supplemented by (i) the first supplemental indenture dated as of March 26, 2007 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), among CSG, CS AG, CS USA and the Trustee, (ii) the second supplemental indenture dated as of June 9, 2023 (the "Second Supplemental Indenture"), among UBS Group AG, CSG, CS AG, CS USA and the Trustee; (iii) the third supplemental indenture dated as of May 30, 2024 (the "Third Supplemental Indenture"), among CS USA, UBS Group AG, CS AG, UBS AG and the Trustee and (iv) the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of February 2, 2026 (the "Fourth Supplemental Indenture"), among CS USA, UBS Americas, UBS Group AG, UBS AG and the Trustee. The Base Indenture as supplemented is referred to as the "Indenture."

The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

The description of the Base Indenture is incorporated in the registration statement by reference to the prospectus and prospectus supplement filed by CS USA in connection with the initial issuance of the Subject Securities. See the "*Description of the Guarantees*" and "*Subordination of the UBS Group AG Guarantee*" below for a description of the First Supplemental Indenture.

The Second Supplemental Indenture provides that, in accordance with the Indenture and by operation of Swiss law, effective upon completion of the Group Merger, UBS Group AG succeeded to, and was substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, CSG under the CSG guarantee of the Subject Securities with the same effect as if UBS Group AG had been named as the "Group Guarantor" under the Indenture, the CSG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Subject Securities. In addition, pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the Group Merger, UBS Group AG (i) expressly assumed all of CSG's obligations under the CSG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Indenture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and (ii) undertook in favor of each holder of Subject Securities to be bound by the terms and conditions of the CSG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the provisions of the Indenture, with the same effect as if UBS Group AG had been named as the "Group Guarantor" under the Indenture, the CSG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Subject Securities.

The Third Supplemental Indenture provides that, in accordance with the Indenture and by operation of Swiss law, effective upon completion of the Parent Bank Merger, UBS AG succeeded to, and was substituted for,

------

and may exercise every right and power of, CS AG under the CS AG guarantee of the Subject Securities with the same effect as if UBS AG had been named as the "Bank Guarantor" under the Indenture, the CS AG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Subject Securities. In addition, pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the Parent Bank Merger, UBS AG (i) expressly assumed all of CS AG's obligations under the CS AG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Indenture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and (ii) undertook in favor of each holder of Subject Securities to be bound by the terms and conditions of the CS AG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the provisions of the Indenture, with the same effect as if UBS AG had been named as the "Bank Guarantor" under the Indenture, the CS AG guarantee of the Subject Securities and the Subject Securities.

The Fourth Supplemental Indenture provides that, in accordance with the Indenture, effective upon completion of the UBS Americas Merger, UBS Americas succeeded to, and was substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, CS USA under the Subject Securities and the Indenture with the same effect as if UBS Americas had been named as the "Company" under the Indenture and the Subject Securities. In addition, pursuant to the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, effective upon completion of the UBS Americas Merger, UBS Americas (i) expressly assumed all of CS USA's obligations under the Subject Securities and the Indenture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, and (ii) undertook in favor of each holder of Subject Securities to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Subject Securities and the provisions of the Indenture, with the same effect as if UBS Americas had been named as the "Company" under the Indenture and the Subject Securities.

**Description of the Guarantees** 

The Securities have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by UBS Group AG and UBS AG on a several basis. If UBS Americas, for any reason, does not make a required payment in respect of the Subject Securities when due, whether on the normal due date, on acceleration, redemption or otherwise, either or both of UBS Group AG and UBS AG will cause the payment to be made to or to the order of the Trustee. The UBS Group AG guarantee is on a subordinated basis as described below. The holder of a Subject Security will be entitled to payment under the guarantees of UBS Group AG and UBS AG without taking any action whatsoever against UBS Americas.

The terms of the guarantees are set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture. CSG's obligations under its guarantee of the Subject Securities and under the Indenture were assumed by UBS Group AG pursuant to the Second Supplemental Indenture. CS AG's obligations under its guarantee of the Subject Securities and under the Indenture were assumed by UBS AG pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture.

**Subordination of the UBS Group AG Guarantee** 

The discussion of subordination in this section applies only to the guarantee by UBS Group AG of the Subject Securities.

When the term "senior indebtedness" is used in the context of this guarantee, it means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any money UBS Group AG has borrowed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any money borrowed by someone else where UBS Group AG has assumed or guaranteed the obligations, directly or
indirectly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any letters of credit and acceptances made by banks on UBS Group AG's behalf;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• indebtedness that UBS Group AG has incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition of any property; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, and amendments, modifications and supplements to, any of
the above.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Senior indebtedness does not include any indebtedness that is expressed to be subordinated to or on par with the UBS Group AG guarantee of the Subject Securities or any money owed to UBS Group AG's subsidiaries.

The Indenture provides that UBS Group AG cannot:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• make any payments of principal or interest on the Subject Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redeem any Subject Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• acquire any Subject Securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• defease any Subject Securities;

if

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any senior indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of more than $100 million has become due either on
maturity or as a result of acceleration or otherwise and the principal, premium and interest on that senior indebtedness has not yet been paid in full by UBS Group AG; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• UBS Group AG has defaulted in the payment of any principal, premium or interest on any senior indebtedness in an
aggregate principal amount of more than $100 million at the time the payment was due, unless and until the payment default is cured by UBS Group AG or waived by the holders of the senior indebtedness.

If UBS Group AG is liquidated, the holders of senior indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents for principal, premium and interest on the senior indebtedness before the holders of Subject Securities receive any of UBS Group AG's assets. As a result, holders of Subject Securities may receive a smaller proportion of UBS Group AG's assets in liquidation than holders of senior indebtedness.

Even if the subordination provisions prevent UBS Group AG from making any payment when due on the Subject Securities or its guarantee thereof, UBS Group AG will be in default on its obligations under the Indenture, if it does not make the payment when due. This means that the Trustee and the holders of the Subject Securities can take action against UBS Group AG, but they would not receive any money until the claims of the senior indebtedness have been fully satisfied.

The Indenture allows the holders of senior indebtedness to obtain specific performance of the subordination provisions from UBS Group AG.

**UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

This section describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Rescission Offer and ownership of the Subject Securities to beneficial owners of Subject Securities.

This section does not discuss all of the tax consequences applicable to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a dealer in securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a tax-exempt organization;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an insurance company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person that holds or has held the Subject Securities as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion
transaction for tax purposes or as part of a "synthetic security" or other integrated financial transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a person that purchases or sells the Subject Securities as part of a wash sale for tax purposes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a bank;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an entity taxed as a partnership or the partners therein;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulated investment company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for more than 182 days in a taxable year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a U.S. expatriate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a controlled foreign corporation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a non-U.S. holder (as defined below) that actually or constructively owns
10% or more of the combined voting power of the Issuer's voting stock or that is an individual present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the year that it receives a payment in respect of the Subject Securities.

This summary does not address state, local or foreign taxes, the U.S. federal estate and gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax, taxes imposed pursuant to the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or the Medicare contribution tax applicable to net investment income of certain non-corporate U.S. holders.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

You should consult your own tax adviser, as you deem appropriate, regarding the U.S. federal, state and local and other tax consequences of participating in the Rescission Offer and ownership of the Subject Securities.

You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of the Subject Securities and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a citizen or resident of the United States;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a domestic corporation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of the Subject Securities.

You are a non-U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of the Subject Securities and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a nonresident alien individual,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a foreign corporation or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis on income
or gain from the Subject Securities.

**U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Rescission Offer** 

This discussion assumes that the Issuer's position that the Subject Securities should be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be respected. See the Issuance Prospectus for a discussion of the tax treatment of the Subject Securities and possible alternative tax treatment of the Subject Securities.

*<u>U.S. Holders</u>*

*Tender of Subject Securities Pursuant to the Rescission Offer* 

This subsection addresses the tax treatment of a U.S. holder that disposes of its Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer.

Upon the tender of a Subject Security pursuant to the Rescission Offer, you generally will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted tax basis in the Subject Security. Although this prospectus uses the term "interest" when describing the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, the term is only intended to describe the method used to calculate the payment amount, and the payment is not considered interest for federal income tax purposes, but rather is included in the amount realized from the sale of the Subject Securities.

Your adjusted tax basis in a Subject Security will generally equal the amount that you paid for the Subject Security, increased by the amount of any market discount you previously included in gross income with respect to the Subject Security and reduced by the amount of any bond premium that you previously amortized with respect to the Subject Security. Your amount realized should equal the amount received in the Rescission Offer, except that a portion of such amount should be treated as a payment of interest for tax purposes to the extent of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Subject Securities at the time of the Rescission Offer. Such amount should be treated as U.S. source ordinary income to the extent that you did not previously include such amount in income.

Except to the extent that any gain is recharacterized as ordinary income pursuant to the market discount rules discussed below, any gain or loss that you recognize upon a disposition of the Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the Subject Security for more than one year upon the disposition of the Subject Security. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) generally are eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation in respect of long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is limited under the Code. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder pursuant to the Rescission Offer generally should be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

If you acquired your Subject Securities with market discount, any gain realized upon the disposition of the Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the portion of the market discount that has accrued while you held such Subject Securities, unless you elected to include market discount in income currently as it accrues. You generally will be treated as having acquired the Subject Securities with market discount if the principal amount of the Subject Securities exceeds your purchase price for the Subject Securities by more than a statutory de minimis amount. Market discount will be considered to accrue

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
ratably during the period from the date of that you acquired the Subject Securities to the maturity date of the Subject Securities, unless you elect to accrue market discount on a constant yield basis.

*Holders Who Disposed of their Subject Securities Prior to the Rescission Offer* 

If your Subject Securities were sold prior to the Rescission Offer, although not entirely clear, it is likely that the amount that you receive, if any, pursuant to the Rescission Offer should first be treated as capital gain to the extent of any capital loss you recognized in respect of the Subject Securities upon their sale or maturity. Any such capital gain should be long-term or short-term capital gain based on whether you recognized a long-term or short-term capital loss on the Subject Securities upon their maturity or disposition.

If the amount that you receive pursuant to the Rescission Offer exceeds the capital gain amount described above, it is likely that such excess amount should first be treated as ordinary interest income to the extent of the interest that accrued on such loss for purposes of determining the amount received under the Rescission Offer, and thereafter as ordinary income. However, other characterizations are possible. For example, it is possible that the IRS could assert that all or a portion of the capital gain amount described above should instead be treated as ordinary income. Accordingly, you should consult with your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of amounts received pursuant to the Rescission Offer.

*<u>Non-U.S. Holders</u>*

This subsection addresses the tax treatment of a non-U.S. holder that disposes of its Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer.

If you are a non-U.S. holder, you should generally not subject to U.S. federal income of withholding tax on any income or gain recognized in respect of amounts received pursuant to the Rescission Offer, unless such income or gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. or, in case of interest income, you have you failed to properly provide the applicable withholding agent an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form), signed under penalties of perjury, that includes your name and address and that certifies your non-U.S. status in compliance with applicable law and regulations.

You will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gain recognized pursuant to the Rescission Offer that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. in the same manner as a U.S. holder, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If you are treated as a foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, you may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). If you fail to properly provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form), you will generally be subject to withholding tax on interest income at a 30% rate, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise.

*<u>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</u>*

You may be subject to information reporting with respect to amounts received pursuant to the Rescission Offer. You may also be subject to backup withholding on such payments unless you provide proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number and otherwise comply with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules.

**U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Ownership of Subject Securities** 

This section describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership of the Subject Securities to beneficial owners of Subject Securities that purchase Subject Securities on or after the date hereof.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
*<u>U.S. Holders</u>*

*Payments or Accruals of Interest* 

Interest payments on the Subject Securities will be taxable to you as ordinary interest income at the time that you receive or accrue such amounts in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting (except that the portion of an interest payment that is allocable to the portion of your purchase price that relates to interest that accrued prior to your purchase of the Subject Securities, which this discussion refers to as "pre-purchase accrued interest," will not be included in income and will rather be treated as a non-taxable return of the pre-purchase accrued interest).

*Purchase, Sale and Retirement of Subject Securities* 

Your tax basis in the Subject Securities generally will equal the cost of the Subject Securities (excluding the portion of the price allocable to pre-purchase accrued interest). Your basis will increase by any amounts that you are required to include in income under the rules described below governing market discount, and will decrease by the amount of any bond premium that you previously amortized with respect to the Subject Securities under the rules described below.

Upon the sale or maturity of the Subject Securities, you generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the transaction (less any accrued interest, which will be treated in the manner described above under "—Payments or Accruals of Interest") and your tax basis in the Subject Securities.

Except as discussed below with respect to market discount, any gain or loss that you recognize upon the sale or maturity of the Subject Securities generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Subject Securities for more than one year on the date of disposition. Net long-term capital gain recognized by an individual U.S. holder generally will be subject to tax at the lower rate than net short-term capital gain or ordinary income. The ability of U.S. holders to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited.

*Premium* 

If you purchase the Subject Securities at a cost greater than the principal amount of the Subject Securities (excluding the portion of the price allocable to pre-purchase accrued interest), you will be considered to have purchased the Subject Securities at a premium, and you may elect to amortize the premium as an offset to interest income, using a constant yield method, over the remaining term of the Subject Securities. If you make this election, it generally will apply to all debt instruments that you hold at the time of the election, as well as any debt instruments that you subsequently acquire. In addition, you may not revoke the election without the consent of the IRS. If you elect to amortize the premium, you will be required to reduce your tax basis in the Subject Securities by the amount of the premium amortized during your holding period. If you do not elect to amortize premium, the amount of premium will be included in your tax basis in the Subject Securities. Therefore, if you do not elect to amortize premium and you hold the Subject Securities to maturity, you generally will be required to treat the premium as capital loss when the Subject Securities mature.

*Market Discount* 

If the principal amount of the Subject Securities exceeds your purchase price for the Subject Securities (excluding the portion of the price allocable to pre-purchase accrued interest) by an amount at least equal to the product of (i) 0.25%, (ii) the principal amount of the Subject Securities and (iii) the remaining whole years to the maturity of the Subject Securities, the Subject Securities will be considered to bear "market discount." In this case, any gain that you realize on the sale or maturity of the Subject Securities generally will be treated as ordinary interest income to the extent of the market discount that accrued on the Subject Securities during your

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
holding period. In addition, you may be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest paid on any indebtedness that you incurred or maintained to purchase or carry the Subject Securities. In general, market discount will be treated as accruing ratably over the term of the Subject Securities, or, at your election, under a constant yield method.

You may elect to include market discount in gross income currently as it accrues (on either a ratable or constant yield basis), in lieu of treating a portion of any gain realized on a sale of the Subject Securities as ordinary income. If you elect to include market discount on a current basis, the interest deduction deferral rule described above will not apply. If you do make such an election, it will apply to all market discount debt instruments that you acquire on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies. The election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.

*<u>Non-U.S. Holders</u>*

If you are a non-U.S. holder, you should generally not subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any income or gain recognized in respect of the Subject Securities, unless such income or gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. or, in case of interest income, you have you failed to properly provide the applicable withholding an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form), signed under penalties of perjury, that includes your name and address and that certifies your non-U.S. status in compliance with applicable law and regulations.

You will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gain that is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. in the same manner as a U.S. holder, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If you are treated as a foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, you may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). If you fail to properly provide an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form), you will generally be subject to withholding tax on interest income at a 30% rate, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise.

*<u>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding</u>*

Information returns will be required to be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the Subject Securities made to certain U.S. holders. If you are a U.S. holder, you generally will not be subject to a U.S. backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 24%) on such payments if you provide your taxpayer identification number to the applicable withholding agent. You may also be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax requirements with respect to the proceeds from a sale of the Subject Securities.

If you are a non-U.S. holder, payments of interest on the Subject Securities will generally be reportable on IRS Form 1042-S. Payments in respect of the Subject Securities would otherwise not be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, provided that the certification requirements described above under "— Non-U.S. Holders" are satisfied or you otherwise establish an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a credit against the holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

**SWISS TAX CONSIDERATIONS** 

**Rescission Offer** 

The following is a summary of the principal tax consequences of accepting the Rescission Offer for Eligible Investors who are not residents of Switzerland for tax purposes and have no Swiss permanent establishment and do not conduct a Swiss-based trade or business. It does not address the tax treatment of Eligible Investors who are residents of Switzerland for tax purposes or who are subject to Swiss taxes for other reasons. This summary is based on legislation as of the date of this prospectus and does not aim to be a comprehensive description of all the Swiss tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to accept the Rescission Offer.

*Withholding Tax* 

Whether you are an Eligible Current Investor who tenders your Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer, or an Eligible Former Investor who accepts the Rescission Offer, the cash amount that you receive, if any, pursuant to the Recission Offer will not be subject to Swiss withholding tax.

*Securities Turnover Tax* 

If you are an Eligible Current Investor who tenders your Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer, the cash amount that you receive, if any, pursuant to the Recission Offer may be subject to Swiss securities turnover tax at a rate of up to 0.15%, if a Swiss domestic (or Principality of Liechtenstein) securities dealer (as defined in the Swiss Federal Act on Stamp Duties of June 27, 1973, as amended) is a party to, or acts as an intermediary for, the transaction and no exemption applies in respect of one of the parties to the transaction.

*Income Taxation* 

Whether you are an Eligible Current Investor who tenders your Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer, or an Eligible Former Investor who accepts the Rescission Offer, the cash amount that you receive, if any, pursuant to the Recission Offer will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax if (i) you are not a resident of Switzerland, (ii) if you are an Eligible Current Investor, during the relevant taxation year have not engaged in a trade or business through a permanent establishment or a fixed place of business in Switzerland to which the tendered Subject Securities are attributable, and (iii) are not subject to income taxation in Switzerland for any other reason, will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax.

**Subject Securities** 

The following is a summary of the principal tax consequences of holding Subject Securities for investors who are not residents of Switzerland for tax purposes and have no Swiss permanent establishment and do not conduct a Swiss-based trade or business. It does not address the tax treatment of holders of Subject Securities who are residents of Switzerland for tax purposes or who are subject to Swiss taxes for other reasons. This summary is based on legislation as of the date of this prospectus and does not aim to be a comprehensive description of all the Swiss tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to invest in Subject Securities.

*Withholding Tax* 

Neither payments of interest on, nor the repayment of principal of, the Subject Securities will be subject to Swiss federal withholding tax, even though they are guaranteed by UBS Group AG and UBS AG, provided that the net proceeds from the issue of the Subject Securities are used outside of Switzerland (except to the extent use in Switzerland is permitted under the Swiss taxation laws in force from time to time without payments in respect of the Subject Securities becoming subject to withholding or deduction for Swiss withholding tax as a consequence of such use of proceeds in Switzerland) and that UBS Americas is at all times resident and managed outside Switzerland for Swiss tax purposes.

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
On April 3, 2020, the Swiss Federal Council published draft legislation and opened a consultation procedure regarding the reform of the Swiss withholding tax system applicable to interest on bonds. This draft legislation provided for, among other things, the replacement of the current debtor-based regime applicable to interest payments on bonds with a paying agent-based regime for Swiss withholding tax. Generally speaking, this proposed paying agent-based regime would have (i) subjected all interest payments on bonds made through paying agents in Switzerland to individuals resident in Switzerland to Swiss withholding tax, including any such interest payments made on bonds issued by entities organized in a jurisdiction outside Switzerland (such as UBS Americas), and (ii) exempted from Swiss withholding tax interest payments on bonds to all other persons, including to Swiss-domiciled legal entities and foreign investors (other than indirect interest payments through foreign and Swiss domestic collective investments vehicles). However, the results of the consultation, which ended on July 10, 2020, were controversial. Consequently, on April 15, 2021, the Swiss Federal Council submitted new draft legislation on the reform of the Swiss withholding tax system providing for the abolition of Swiss withholding tax on interest payments on bonds for submission to the Swiss Parliament, which legislation was accepted by the Swiss Parliament on December 17, 2021. The proposed legislation was rejected in a referendum held on September 25, 2022. In view of the rejection of this legislation, the Swiss Federal Council could again propose a paying agent-based regime as contemplated by the draft legislation published on April 3, 2020.

*Securities Turnover Tax* 

Neither the issue nor the redemption of the Subject Securities by the Issuer is subject to Swiss securities turnover tax.

The trading of the Subject Securities in the secondary market is subject to Swiss securities turnover tax at a rate of 0.3% of the consideration paid for the Subject Securities traded, if a Swiss domestic (or Principality of Liechtenstein) securities dealer (as defined in the Swiss Federal Act on Stamp Duties of June 27, 1973, as amended) is a party to, or acts as an intermediary for, the transaction and no exemption applies in respect of one of the parties to the transaction. In such case and subject to applicable statutory exemptions, typically half of the Swiss securities turnover tax is charged to one party to the transaction and the other half to the other party.

*Income Taxation* 

Payments by the Issuer of interest on and repayment of principal of the Subject Securities to, and the gain realized on the sale or redemption of Outstanding Subject Securities by, a holder of Subject Securities who (i) is not a resident of Switzerland, (ii) during the relevant taxation year has not engaged in a trade or business through a permanent establishment or a fixed place of business in Switzerland to which the Outstanding Subject Securities are attributable, and (iii) is not subject to income taxation in Switzerland for any other reason, will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax.

*Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters* 

Switzerland has concluded a multilateral agreement with the European Union (the "EU") on the international exchange of information ("AEOI") in tax matters, which applies to all EU member states and some other jurisdictions. In addition, Switzerland has signed the multilateral competent authority agreement on the automatic exchange of financial account information (the "MCAA"), and based on the MCAA, a number of bilateral AEOI agreements with other countries. Based on such agreements and the implementing laws of Switzerland, depending on the date of effectiveness of the applicable agreement, Switzerland collects and exchanges data in respect of financial assets (including any Subject Securities) held in, and income derived thereon and credited to, accounts or deposits with a paying agent in Switzerland for the benefit of individuals, entities and controlling persons (as applicable) resident in an EU member state or in another treaty state.

*Swiss Facilitation of the Implementation of U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act* 

The United States and Switzerland entered into an intergovernmental agreement (the "current U.S.-Switzerland IGA") to facilitate the implementation of the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"). Under the current U.S.-Switzerland IGA, financial institutions acting out of Switzerland generally are directed to become participating foreign financial institutions. The current U.S.-Switzerland IGA ensures that accounts held by U.S. persons with Swiss financial institutions (including any such account in which a Subject Security is held) are disclosed to the U.S. tax authorities either with the consent of the account holder or by means of group requests within the scope of administrative assistance, on the basis of the Convention between the United States of America and the Swiss Confederation for the Avoidance of Double Taxation (the "Double Taxation Treaty"). Since it was amended in 2019, the Double Taxation Treaty includes a mechanism for the exchange of information in tax matters upon request between Switzerland and the United States, which is in line with international standards, and allows the United States to make group requests under FATCA concerning non-consenting non-participating foreign financial institutions for periods from June 30, 2014.

On June 27, 2024, Switzerland and the United States signed a new intergovernmental agreement to facilitate the implementation of FATCA (the "new U.S.-Switzerland IGA") that will change the current direct notification-based regime that is in place under the current U.S.-Switzerland IGA to a regime where the relevant information is sent to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, which in turn provides the information to the U.S. tax authorities. In Switzerland, the implementation of the new U.S.-Switzerland IGA requires an amendment to national law, which will be decided by the Swiss Federal Assembly. According to communication from the State Secretariat for International Finance SIF, such amendment is currently expected to enter into force in Switzerland on January 1, 2027. However, it is not possible to predict whether and when such amendment will be enacted.

**BENEFIT PLAN INVESTOR CONSIDERATIONS** 

A fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") or any entity or account deemed to hold "plan assets" of the foregoing (each, a "Plan"), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan's particular circumstances before determining whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer. Among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan, and whether such acceptance or rejection would involve a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Plans, as well as individual retirement accounts, Keogh plans, any other plans that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code and any entities or accounts deemed to hold "plan assets" of the foregoing (also "Plans"), from engaging in certain transactions involving "plan assets" with persons who are "parties in interest" under ERISA or "disqualified persons" under the Code with respect to the Plan. A violation of these prohibited transaction rules may result in excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA or the Code for those persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption. Employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) and non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) ("Non-ERISA Arrangements") are not subject to the requirements of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but may be subject to similar provisions under applicable federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws ("Similar Laws").

UBS Group AG and/or any of its affiliates may be considered a party in interest or disqualified person with respect to a Plan or entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any Plan's investment in the entity (a "Plan Asset Entity"). The continued holding or tender in the Rescission Offer of the Subject Securities by a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity with respect to which UBS Group AG and/or any of its affiliates is or becomes a party in interest or disqualified person may result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the continued holding or tender in the Rescission Offer of the Subject Securities is done pursuant to an applicable exemption.

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that may provide exemptive relief if required for direct or indirect prohibited transactions that may arise from the continued holding or tender in the Rescission Offer of the Subject Securities. These exemptions are PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 95-60 (for transactions involving certain insurance company general accounts), and PTCE 96-23 (for transactions managed by in-house asset managers).

In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide an exemption for the purchase and sale of the Subject Securities, provided that neither UBS Group AG nor any of its affiliates has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the Plan pays no more and receives no less than "adequate consideration" in connection with the transaction (the "service provider exemption"). There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

Any holder of the Subject Securities or any interest therein or investor that accepts or rejects the Rescission Offer will be deemed to have represented by its holding of the Subject Securities or any interest therein or its acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer that either (1) it is not a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement and is not accepting or rejecting the Rescission Offer on behalf of, or in respect of the assets of, any Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement or (2)(i) the holding of the Subject Securities or acceptance or rejection of the Rescission Offer will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or the

------

##### [**Table of Contents**](#toc)
Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws and (ii) none of UBS Group AG or any of its affiliates directly or indirectly exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders investment advice or otherwise acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the assets of the Plan or Plan Asset Entity within the meaning of ERISA.

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is important that fiduciaries or other persons considering whether to accept or reject the Rescission Offer on behalf of or with the assets of any Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement consult with their counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief under any of the PTCEs listed above, the service provider exemption or the potential consequences of any holding or tender in the Rescission Offer of the Subject Securities under Similar Laws, as applicable.

Persons holding the Subject Securities have exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their continued holding and disposition (including through the Rescission Offer) of the Subject Securities do not violate the fiduciary or prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or any similar provisions of Similar Laws. The repurchase of any Subject Security from a Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement pursuant to the Rescission Offer is in no respect a representation by UBS Group AG or any of its affiliates or representatives that the rescission meets all relevant legal requirements applicable to any such Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement, or that the rescission is appropriate for such Plans, Plan Asset Entities or Non-ERISA Arrangements generally or any particular Plan, Plan Asset Entity or Non-ERISA Arrangement.

**CLAIM DETAILS** 

*Please complete a separate version of this form for each Applicable Transaction pursuant to which you purchased Subject Securities and the Applicable Disposition pursuant to which you sold such Subject Securities for a loss, in each case, in respect of which the Rescission Offer is to be accepted and you wish to submit a claim for processing. If you sold in an Applicable Disposition part of a lot of Subject Securities that you purchased in an Applicable Transaction and still hold part of that lot and wish to accept the Rescission Offer with respect to the entire lot, please complete the Current Investor Acceptance Form with respect to the part of the lot that you still hold and this Former Investor Acceptance Form with respect to the part of the lot that you sold in an Applicable Disposition.*

Thus, if you bought 1,000 of Subject Security X on two different days, and sold all 2,000 at the same time in an Applicable Disposition, you must file two claims through the portal, one for each Applicable Transaction.

For the avoidance of doubt, you must submit one form for each Applicable Transaction and Applicable Disposition. Multiple transactions should not be included in one Acceptance Form Submission.*

**<u>INSTRUCTIONS:</u>**

***1. Evidence.***

To accept the Rescission Offer, an Eligible Former Investor must provide evidence to the following effects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. A signed acceptance agreement, a form of which is included in this Appendix A, by which the Eligible Former
Investor provides, at a minimum, the representations and warranties, acknowledgements and agreements set forth in the Prospectus; <u>and</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. Satisfactory evidence that the Eligible Former Investor purchased the Subject Security in an Applicable
Transaction (i.e., the Subject Security is an Applicable Security) and that such Applicable Security subsequently was sold in a *bona fide* transaction at a loss. For such purposes, the Issuer is prepared to accept the following evidence:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Account statement(s) reflecting (i) the purchase of such Applicable Security from UBS Group AG or an
affiliate of UBS Group AG during the Relevant Period, (ii) purchase price information of such Applicable Security and (iii) the subsequent Applicable Disposition (and sale price information, as applicable) of such Applicable Security
before the date of the Prospectus, and demonstrating the continued holding of such Applicable Security until the time of the Applicable Disposition; <u>and/or</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) With respect to an Applicable Transaction: receipt, transaction or trade confirmation statement reflecting, for
an Applicable Transaction during the Relevant Period, UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG as a principal seller of such Applicable Security in such Applicable Transaction; <u>and/or</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) With respect to an Applicable Disposition: receipt, transaction or trade confirmation statement reflecting such
Applicable Security being sold, including the date, price and other relevant details of the sale; <u>and/or</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;d) With respect to the loss as a result of an Applicable Disposition: tax documents, such as IRS Form 1099 B,
evidencing the losses incurred on the Applicable Disposition of such Applicable Security prior to the date of the Prospectus.

**2. *Signatures.***

*Exact Signatures.* The signature(s) on this Former Investor Acceptance Form must correspond with the name(s) as indicated elsewhere in this Former Investor Acceptance Form.

*Joint Holders*. If any of the Subject Securities that are the subject of this Former Investor Acceptance Form are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Former Investor Acceptance Form.

*Signature of Fiduciaries*. If this Former Investor Acceptance Form is signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and provide proper evidence satisfactory to UBS of such person's authority so to act.

***3. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.***

The disposal of the Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer may be subject to information reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). To avoid the imposition of backup withholding, an Eligible Former Investor should complete the applicable IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8) which can be obtained at the website of the Internal Revenue Service at www.irs.gov. Certain offerees (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign persons) are exempt from these backup withholding and information reporting requirements, but may be required to establish their entitlement to an exception. If UBS is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, an Eligible Former Investor may be subject to a backup withholding tax on the gross proceeds received in the Rescission Offer. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may be obtained, provided that the required information is provided to the IRS.

Before the settlement of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, U.S. holders (which include U.S. citizens and residents) will need to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 and non-U.S. holders will need to complete IRS Form W-8. Please review the section entitled "*United States Tax Considerations*" to determine if you qualify as a U.S. holder or a non-U.S. holder. You may participate in the Rescission Offer even if you do not complete your IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8). However, if your properly completed IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8) is not received before the settlement of the Rescission Offer Proceeds, we may be required to withhold additional amounts from the Rescission Offer Proceeds and the IRS may impose certain penalties.

All determinations with respect to the Rescission Offer (including issues relating to the timeliness or effectiveness of any election, withdrawal or evidence of eligibility), the calculation of the Rescission Offer Proceeds or this Current Investor Acceptance Form will be made by us, in our sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding, absent manifest error determined by us in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to, at any time, request any additional information or evidence that we may deem reasonably appropriate to demonstrate that you meet the eligibility requirements to be considered an Eligible Current Investor.

Upon receipt and review of the evidence package submitted with your acceptance of the Rescission Offer, we may, in our sole discretion, but are under no obligation to, inform you of any insufficiency or inconsistency identified in the evidence provided and give you the opportunity to supplement the evidence as required, provided such supplemental evidence is received by us on or before the Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, we are under no obligation to accept any evidence submission after the Expiration Date, or to provide a cure period for insufficient or inconsistent evidence. We expect to make a final determination as to whether you meet the requirements to be considered an Eligible Current Investor no later than the date that is five business days after the Expiration Date, provided that the timing of such determination may vary based on the volume and complexity of the evidence submitted.

If you are an Eligible Current Investor and you validly accept the Rescission Offer on or before the Expiration Date in accordance with the terms set forth in the Prospectus, we will cause payment of the Rescission Offer Proceeds to be made to you as soon as reasonably practicable after the Expiration Date (the date of such payment, the "Settlement Date"). The Settlement Date is expected to occur no later than the tenth business day following the Expiration Date.

***Questions****:* If you have questions or require additional information about the Rescission Offer acceptance procedures, you may contact the broker, bank or other institution through which you purchased your relevant Subject Security. In addition, information regarding how to obtain technical support in relation to the submission of your Rescission Offer acceptance form and supporting evidence of eligibility will be available through the Rescission Offer On-line Portal.

**CLAIM DETAILS** 

*Please complete a separate version of this form for each Applicable Transaction pursuant to which you purchased Subject Securities in respect of which the Rescission Offer is to be accepted and you wish to submit a claim for processing. If you sold in an Applicable Disposition part of a lot of Subject Securities that you purchased in an Applicable Transaction and still hold part of that lot and wish to accept the Rescission Offer with respect to the entire lot, please complete this Current Investor Acceptance Form with respect to the part of the lot that you still hold and the Former Investor Acceptance Form with respect to the part of the lot that you sold in an Applicable Disposition.* 

NOTE THAT THE RESCISSION OFFER ON-LINE PORTAL WILL INCLUDE AN ON-LINE VERSION OF THE TABLE BELOW THAT SHOULD BE COMPLETED ELECTRONICALLY. YOU SHOULD <u>NOT</u> COMPLETE THE TABLE BELOW IN THE SIGNED PAPER FORM THAT WILL BE COMPLETED THROUGH THE ON-LINE RESCISSION OFFER PORTAL.

*Pursuant to the Prospectus, please note that you may accept the Rescission Offer for any number of Applicable Securities, as long as such acceptance is for Subject Securities in the minimum denomination of $1,000, and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.* 

*Further, please note that you must complete one version of this table online through the portal and complete one copy of your signed Current Investor Acceptance Form with respect to each Applicable Transaction pursuant to which you purchased Subject Securities in respect of which the Rescission Offer is to be accepted and you wish to submit a claim for processing. Thus, if you bought 1,000 of Subject Security X on two different days, you must file two claims through the portal, one for each Applicable Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, you must submit one form for each Applicable Transaction. Multiple transactions should not be included in one Acceptance Form Submission.* 

PLEASE UPLOAD TO THE RESCISSION OFFER ON-LINE PORTAL (1) EVIDENCE OF PURCHASE OF THE SUBJECT SECURITIES IN AN APPLICABLE TRANSACTION AND (2) IF APPLICABLE, EVIDENCE OF YOUR AUTHORITY TO ACCEPT THIS RESCISSION OFFER ON BEHALF OF ANY PARTY FOR WHOM YOU ARE ACTING (E.G., CORPORATE RESOLUTION, TRUST AGREEMENT, POWER OF ATTORNEY, ETC.).

**INSTRUCTIONS:** 

***1. Evidence.***

To accept the Rescission Offer, an Eligible Current Investor must provide evidence to the following effects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.1. A signed acceptance agreement, a form of which is included in this Appendix C, by which the Eligible Current
Investor provides, at a minimum, the representations and warranties, acknowledgements and agreements set forth in the Prospectus; <u>and</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. Satisfactory evidence that the Eligible Current Investor purchased the Subject Security in an Applicable
Transaction (i.e., the Subject Security is an Applicable Security) and that such Eligible Current Investor continues to hold such Applicable Security as of the date of the Prospectus, and will continue to hold it (unless and until tendered through
ATOP pursuant to the Rescission Offer) until the Expiration Date. For such purposes, the Issuer is prepared to accept the following evidence:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Account statement(s) reflecting (i) the purchase of such Applicable Security from UBS Group AG or an
affiliate of UBS Group AG during the Relevant Period and (ii) purchase price information of such Applicable Security, and demonstrating the continued holding of such Applicable Security until at least the date of the Prospectus; <u>and/or</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Receipt, transaction or trade confirmation statement reflecting UBS Group AG or an affiliate of UBS Group AG as
a principal seller of such Applicable Security in such Applicable Transaction.

***2. Signatures.***

*Exact Signatures.* The signature(s) on this Current Investor Acceptance Form must correspond with the name(s) as indicated elsewhere in this Current Investor Acceptance Form.

*Joint Holders*. If any of the Subject Securities that are the subject of this Current Investor Acceptance Form are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Current Investor Acceptance Form.

*Signature of Fiduciaries*. If this Current Investor Acceptance Form is signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and provide proper evidence satisfactory to UBS of such person's authority so to act.

***3. Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.***

The disposal of the Subject Securities pursuant to the Rescission Offer may be subject to information reporting requirements of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). To avoid the imposition of backup withholding, an Eligible Current Investor should complete the applicable IRS withholding form (W-9 or W-8) which can be obtained at the website of the Internal Revenue Service at www.irs.gov. Certain offerees (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign persons) are exempt from these backup withholding and information reporting requirements, but may be required to establish their entitlement to an exception. If UBS is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for exemption, an Eligible Current Investor may be subject to a backup withholding tax on the gross proceeds received in the Rescission Offer. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may be obtained, provided that the required information is provided to the IRS.
