OPERATING AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pursuant to The Superior Court of Justice Order issued February 26, 2015, UBS anticipates that it will exit CCAA on or before May 15, 2015. The new board will have final responsibility to conclude the CCAA proceedings.
  • As previously reported, on February 26, 2015 The Superior Court of Justice issued an Order that, amongst other things, extends the Stay Period to May 15, 2015 and authorizes and directs UBS to pay certain claims totalling in aggregate $1.04 million on or before the later of May 4, 2015 and the determination of claims made by former director Douglas Reeson, which have since been determined.
  • Settlement of the Reeson claims resulted in a reversal of an accrued contingent award of $465 plus accrued interest of $80, and accrued board fees of $11 during the second quarter 2015. Mr. Reeson agreed to the return of $50 of a $120 advance approved by the former board of directors during fiscal 2010 to a professional firm on Mr. Reeson's behalf. $15 was paid to UBS by Mr. Reeson on February 27, 2015 with $35 to be paid on or before April 30, 2015.
