Dividend proposal
The UBS Group AG Board of Directors intends to propose to shareholders an ordinary dividend of CHF 0.60 per share for the financial year 2015, an increase of 20% compared with the previous year. In addition, the Board of Directors will propose a special dividend distribution of CHF 0.25 per share, reflecting a significant net upward revaluation of deferred tax assets in 2015.

Proposals for compensation of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board
At the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2016, shareholders will be asked to vote on the variable compensation for the Group Executive Board for 2015, the fixed compensation for the Group Executive Board for 2017 and the compensation for the Board of Directors for the period from the AGM 2016 to the AGM 2017.

As in previous years, there will also be an advisory vote by shareholders on the current compensation report, which outlines UBS's compensation strategy and principles, governance and practice.

The advisory vote and the binding votes on compensation provide the Board of Directors with valuable feedback on the firm's compensation policy and reflect its commitment to transparent say-on-pay for shareholders.
