OF THE FACTS OF THIS MATTER

THE PARTIES’ PLEADINGS AND BRIEFING. PLEASE

SEE PARAGRAPH 40 BELOW FOR

MORE INFORMATION

ABOUT HOW AND WHERE TO LOCATE

THOSE DOCUMENTS.

4.

On

April

26,

2022,

Plaintiff

filed

a

verified

shareholder

derivative

complaint

alleging that

the Individual

Defendants breached

their fiduciary

duties under

Swiss law

by

inter

alia

failing to

establish and

oversee reasonable and

effective risk

management systems

at Credit

Suisse (the “Complaint”).

As set forth

in the Complaint,

Plaintiff also alleged

that the Individual

Defendants disregarded multiple red

flags of risk

control deficiencies, including in

Credit Suisse’s

New York

operations. Further, Plaintiff

alleged that the Individual Defendants’

risk management

failures caused Credit Suisse

to suffer significant losses when,

between 2020 and 2021,

two hedge

funds

(Malachite

Capital

Management

and

Archegos

Capital

Management)

and

a

financial

services company (Greensill Capital Management) defaulted.

5.

The Individual Defendants vigorously dispute and deny each and every allegation,

claim, and

contention made

by Plaintiff,

including any

and all

allegations of

fault, wrongdoing,

liability,

and

the

existence

of

any

damages

asserted

in

the

Complaint.

Certain

Individual

Defendants also dispute that Plaintiff

has the capacity to bring this Action,

and certain Individual

Defendants and Credit Suisse dispute that the trial court has jurisdiction over them personally.

6.

After the plaintiff

in a

proceeding pending

before the

trial court

captioned

Cattan

v.

Rohner

, No.

652468/2020 (Sup.

Ct.

N.Y.

Cnty.)

(“

Cattan

”),

amended his

complaint to

add a

small number

of allegations

similar to

those made

in this Action,

on May

18, 2022,

Plaintiff moved

to intervene

in and

for a

limited stay

of

Cattan

. On

April 10,

2023, the

trial court

dismissed the

Cattan

case and

granted Plaintiff’s

motion to

stay a

narrow range

of allegations

similar to

those

made in this Action.

7.

On September 23,

2022, three Defendants

moved to

dismiss the

Complaint. They

argued that the case

should be dismissed on

forum non conveniens

grounds and that

the Complaint

failed

to

plead

Swiss

law

breaches

of

fiduciary

duty

with

the

particularity

required

by

the

4

heightened standard of

CPLR 3016(b). Defendants’

motion to dismiss was

fully briefed, including

the submission of competing expert affirmations, and argued by December 8, 2022.

8.

The

Court

denied

Defendants’

motion

in

its

entirety

at

the

December

8,

2022

hearing and then subsequently entered an order on January 31, 2023.

9.

On February 27,

2023, those Defendants

filed a

motion with

the Court

seeking to

reargue

their

motion

to

dismiss

on

the

pleading

standard,

which

was

fully

briefed,

and

oral

argument was held by July 18, 2023. On March 1, 2023, those Defendants filed a

notice of appeal

with the First Department.

10.

On February 8, 2024, after full briefing

and argument, the First Department denied

Defendants’ appeal

and unanimously

affirmed the

Court’s

order denying

Defendants’ motion

to

dismiss. Those Defendants sought

leave to appeal to the

New York

Court of Appeals, which was

denied. The

trial court

subsequently denied

Defendants’ motion

for re-argument

on the

pleading

standard.

11.

On November

21,

2023,

certain Defendants

moved to

dismiss

the Complaint

for

lack

of

standing

and

capacity

to

sue

and

failure

to

join

a

necessary

party.

Plaintiff

vigorously

opposed the motion. The motion was briefed

and then argued on August 15, 2024; at the direction

of

the

Court,

supplemental

submissions

were

made

on

June

13,

2025.

That

motion

remains

pending.

12.

The

Parties

engaged

in

extensive

discovery.

For

example,

Defendants

and

third

parties produced over

two hundred and

ninety-eight thousand (298,000)

documents totaling over

one

million

and

five

hundred and

eighty

thousand

(1,580,000)

pages,

which

Plaintiff’s

team

of

attorneys

reviewed

and

analyzed.

Plaintiff

also

took

depositions

of

thirty-two

(32)

witnesses,

including sixteen (16)

named Defendants, in-person

in London, England,

New York, Los Angeles,

Washington,

D.C., and West Palm

Beach, Florida, and remotely.

13.

The

Parties

engaged in

international

discovery.

After an

initial

round

of

briefing

and argument

in 2023,

the

Court granted

on June

24, 2024

four letters

of

request for

discovery

from UBS and certain Individual

Defendants in Switzerland. On December 9,

2024, UBS moved

in a Swiss legal proceeding to dismiss the

letter of request directed at UBS. That

motion was fully

briefed

on

July

7,

2025,

and

remains

pending.

Plaintiff

withdrew

two

of

the

letters

of

request

seeking Swiss examinations of certain Individual Defendants, and one remains outstanding.

14.

The

Parties

filed

multiple

discovery

motions.

On

October

28,

2024,

Defendant

Gottstein

filed

a

motion

to

quash

a

deposition

notice.

On

November

5,

2024,

Plaintiff

filed

a

motion

to

compel

Credit

Suisse

to

produce

correspondence

with

the

Swiss

banking

regulator

FINMA. On

November 20,

2024, Plaintiff

filed a

motion to

compel disclosure

of certain

Defendant

communications. The Court denied Defendant Gottstein’s

motion as moot on July 14, 2025, after

Plaintiff and

Gottstein stipulated

to the

withdrawal of

the letter

of request

to Gottstein.

The motions

to compel remain pending.

15.

Plaintiff

and

the

Individual

Defendants

also

engaged

in

significant

expert

discovery.

For example, they

exchanged nine extensive

expert reports (four

for Plaintiff; five

for

5

the

Individual

Defendants)

totaling

many

hundreds

of

pages

on

issues

of

Swiss

law,

risk

management controls, corporate governance, and damages.

16.

On October

28, 2024,

certain Defendants

filed motions

to dismiss

the Complaint

for lack of personal jurisdiction. Plaintiff vigorously

opposed those motions. These motions were

fully briefed and then argued on May 2, 2025, and remain pending.

17.

The

Parties

and

UBS

engaged

in

extensive

settlement

negotiations,

which

were

supervised by one of

the nation’s preeminent mediators, former federal District Court

judge, Layn

Phillips.

Among

the

negotiations,

the

Parties

engaged

in

three

separate

full

day

in-person

mediation sessions in May 2023, May 2024, and July 2025.

18.

At the conclusion of the July 2025 mediation session, after extensive negotiations,

Judge Phillips issued a mediator’s proposal to settle the Action in exchange for a cash payment of

$115,000,000 (United States

Dollars) for the benefit

of the Company,

which all Parties accepted.

The agreement in principle among the Parties

and UBS to settle the Action,

which was subject to

the execution

of a

formal, final

stipulation and

agreement of

settlement and

related papers,

was

memorialized in a Settlement Term Sheet executed on July 21, 2025 (the “Term

Sheet”).

19.

On

July

14,

2025,

Plaintiff

informed

the

Court

that

the

Parties

had

reached

an

agreement in principle to settle the Action.

20.

After additional

negotiations regarding

the

specific terms

of their

agreement,

the

Parties and UBS entered into the

Stipulation of Settlement on August

21, 2025. The Stipulation of

Settlement, which

reflects the

final and

binding agreement

among the

Parties and

UBS with

respect

to the Settlement

and supersedes

the Term Sheet, can be

viewed at the

“Investor Relations” section

of UBS’s website, https://www.ubs.com/global/en/investor

-relations.html.

21.

In connection with settlement discussions and negotiations leading to

the proposed

Settlement

set

forth

in

the

Stipulation

of

Settlement, counsel

for

the

Parties

did

not

discuss

the

appropriateness or

amount of any

application by Plaintiff’s

Counsel for

an award

of attorneys’ fees

and expenses.

22.

On

August

22,

2025,

the

Court

entered

the

Notice

Order

in

connection

with

the

Settlement which,

among other

things, preliminarily

approved the

proposed Settlement,

authorized

this Notice to be provided to

Current UBS Stockholders,

and scheduled the Settlement Hearing

to consider whether to grant final approval of the Settlement.

WHAT

ARE THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT?

23.

In

consideration

of

the

full

settlement,

compromise,

and

release

of

the

Released

Plaintiff’s

Claims

(defined

in

paragraph

27

below)

against

the

Released

Defendants’

Persons

(defined in paragraph

27 below) and

the dismissal

with prejudice of

the Action,

the Parties have

agreed to a cash settlement of $115,000,000 (United States Dollars)

(the “Settlement Amount”) to

be funded by

Defendants’ directors and

officers liability

insurance. In accordance

with the terms

of the Stipulation

of Settlement, UBS shall

cause the Settlement Amount

to be paid

into an escrow

account controlled

by Plaintiff’s

Counsel (the

“Escrow Account”).

The Settlement

Amount plus

6

any interest earned thereon

(the “Settlement Fund”), less

(i) any Fee and

Expense Award

paid or

payable and/or any

reserve to account

for any potential future

Fee and Expense

Award and (ii) any

Taxes

with respect to

any interest earned

on the Settlement

Fund while on

deposit in the

Escrow

Account, shall

be paid

from the

Escrow Account

to UBS,

as successor

to Credit

Suisse, no

later

than ten (10) business days after the Effective Date of the Settlement.

WHAT

ARE THE PARTIES’

REASONS FOR THE SETTLEMENT?

24.

Plaintiff

brought

its

claims

in

good

faith

and

continues

to

believe that

its

claims

have merit, but, based upon Plaintiff’s

and Plaintiff’s Counsel’s

investigation, including a review

of the

voluminous documents

and deposition

testimony produced

in this

Action, and

taking into

consideration the risks

of continued litigation

and the relative

costs and benefits

to the Company

of continuing this Action, Plaintiff

and Plaintiff’s Counsel have determined that

the Settlement is

fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the

Company and its stockholders. Based on

Plaintiff’s

direct oversight

of the

prosecution of

this

Action, and

with the

advice of

its

counsel,

Plaintiff has agreed

to settle, compromise,

and release the

claims asserted in

the Action pursuant

to the

Settlement, after

considering (i)

the substantial

financial benefit

provided under

the proposed

Settlement;

(ii)

the

uncertain

outcome

and

significant

risks

of

continued

litigation;

and

(iii)

the

desirability

of

permitting

the

Settlement

to

be

consummated

as

provided

by

the

terms

of

the

Stipulation.

25.

The

Individual

Defendants

have

denied,

and

continue

to

deny,

each

and

every

allegation,

claim,

and

contention

made

by

Plaintiff,

including

any

and

all

allegations

of

fault,

wrongdoing,

liability,

and

the

existence

of

any

damages

asserted

in

the

Complaint.

Without

limiting the

generality of

the foregoing,

the Individual

Defendants have

denied, and

continue to

deny, that they have committed any breach

of fiduciary duty or wrongdoing,

have aided or abetted

any

such

breach

or

wrongdoing,

have

violated

any

law

or

statutory

duty

whatsoever,

or

have

caused any damages to

Credit Suisse, and each

Individual Defendant expressly

maintains that he

or she has acted properly and in good faith and

has diligently and scrupulously complied with his

or her statutory,

fiduciary, and other

legal duties. The Individual Defendants

are entering into the

Stipulation and the Settlement solely to eliminate the burden, expense, disruption,

and distraction

inherent

in

further

litigation,

and

without

admitting

the

validity

of

any

allegations

made

by

Plaintiff, or any liability

with respect thereto, and thus

have concluded that it is

desirable that the

claims against them be settled on the terms reflected in the Stipulation.

WHAT

WILL HAPPEN IF THE SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED?

WHAT

CLAIMS

WILL THE SETTLEMENT RELEASE?

26.

If the Settlement is approved,

the Court will enter a

Judgment and Order Granting

Final Approval of Derivative

Action Settlement (the

“Judgment”). Pursuant to

the Judgment, the

claims

asserted

against

Defendants

in

the

Action

will

be

dismissed

with

prejudice

and

the

following releases will occur:

(i)

Without

further

action

by

anyone,

upon

the

Effective

Date

of

the

Settlement,

Plaintiff,

Credit

Suisse,

and

UBS

shall

be

deemed

to

have,

and

by

operation

of

law

and

of

the

7

Judgment

shall

have,

fully,

finally,

and

forever dismissed

with

prejudice,

settled,

resolved,

and

discharged the

Released Plaintiff’s

Claims (defined in

paragraph 27 below)

against the Released

Defendants’ Persons

(defined in

paragraph 27

below), and

shall

forever be

barred and

enjoined

from prosecuting the Released Plaintiff’s Claims against the Released Defendants’ Persons.

(ii)

Without

further

action

by

anyone,

upon

the

Effective

Date

of

the

Settlement,

Defendants and UBS shall be deemed to have, and

by operation of law and of the Judgment shall

have,

fully,

finally,

and

forever

dismissed

with

prejudice,

settled,

resolved,

and

discharged

the

Released

Defendants’

Claims

(defined

in

paragraph

27

below)

against

the

Released

Plaintiff’s

Persons

(defined

in

paragraph

27

below),

and

shall

forever

be

barred

and

enjoined

from

prosecuting the Released Defendants’ Claims against the Released Plaintiff’s Persons.

the Effective Date

of the Settlement, Plaintiff,

Defendants, and UBS

shall expressly waive

any and all

provisions, rights, and

benefits conferred by

any law of

any state

or territory

of the

United States,

or principle

of common

law or

foreign law, which

is similar, comparable, or equivalent to California Civil Code § 1542, which provides:

A

general

release

does

not

extend

to

claims

that

the

creditor

or

releasing

party

does

not

know

or

suspect

to

exist

in

his

or

her favor

at

the

time

of

executing

the

release

and

that,

if

known

by

him

or

her,

would

have

materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.

Plaintiff,

Defendants,

and

UBS

acknowledge

that

the

foregoing

waiver

was

separately

bargained for and is a key element of the Settlement.

28.

By

Order

of

the

Court,

(i)

all

proceedings

in

the

Action

other

than

proceedings

necessary to

carry out

or enforce

the terms

and conditions

of the

Stipulation of

Settlement have

been

stayed

until

otherwise

ordered

by

the

Court;

and

(ii) Plaintiff

and

all

other

Company

stockholders

are

barred

and

enjoined

from

commencing,

instituting,

instigating,

facilitating,

asserting,

maintaining,

participating

in,

or

prosecuting

any

and

all

Released

Plaintiff’s

Claims

against any of the Released Defendants’ Persons.

HOW WILL THE ATTORNEYS

BE PAID?

29.

Plaintiff’s Counsel has not

received any payment

for its services

in pursuing claims

in the

Action on

behalf of

the Company,

nor has

Plaintiff’s Counsel

been paid

for its

Litigation

Expenses incurred

in connection

with the

Action.

In connection

with the

Settlement, Plaintiff’s

Counsel will

apply to

the Court

for an

award of

attorneys’ fees

and payment

of Litigation

Expenses

(“Fee and

Expense Award”) to be paid solely

from (and out

of) the Settlement

Fund. In connection

with

Plaintiff’s

Counsel’s

application

for

a

Fee

and

Expense

Award

(“Fee

and

Expense

Application”), Plaintiff

may petition the

Court for

a service

award (“Service Award”)

to be

paid

solely from any Fee and Expense Award to Plaintiff’s

Counsel.

30.

The Fee and Expense Application will include a request for an award of attorneys’

fees in an amount not

to exceed 30% of the

Settlement Fund, plus payment of

Litigation Expenses

in

an

amount

not

to

exceed

$3,200,000.

In

connection

with

the

Fee

and

Expense

Application,

Plaintiff may petition the Court for a Service Award

not to exceed $10,000 to be paid solely from

any Fee and Expense Award to

Plaintiff’s Counsel.

31.

The Court will determine the amount of any Fee and Expense Award

to Plaintiff’s

Counsel and any Service Award

to Plaintiff. Any Fee

and Expense Award

will be paid out of

the

Settlement Fund

and any

Service Award

will be

paid solely

from any

Fee and

Expense Award.

UBS stockholders are not personally liable for any such fees, expenses, or service award.

1

Upon the terms and subject

to the conditions set forth herein and

the approval of

the Supreme Court of the

State of New York,

County of New York

(the “Court”), the Settlement

embodied in

this Stipulation

is intended

to be

a full

and final

disposition of

the claims

asserted

against

the

Individual

Defendants

in

the

above-captioned

stockholder

derivative

action

(the

“Action”).

WHEREAS

:

A.

On

April

26,

2022,

Plaintiff

filed

a

verified

shareholder

derivative

complaint

alleging that

the Individual

Defendants breached

their fiduciary

duties under

Swiss law

by

inter

alia

failing to

establish and

oversee reasonable

and effective

risk management

systems at

Credit

Suisse (the “Complaint”).

As set forth

in the Complaint,

Plaintiff also alleged

that the Individual

Defendants disregarded multiple red flags

of risk control

deficiencies, including in Credit

Suisse’s

New York

operations. Further,

Plaintiff

alleged that the Individual Defendants’

risk management

failures caused Credit Suisse

to suffer significant losses when,

between 2020 and 2021, two

hedge

funds

(Malachite

Capital

Management

and

Archegos

Capital

Management)

and

a

financial

services company (Greensill Capital Management) defaulted.

B.

The Individual Defendants vigorously dispute and deny each and every allegation,

claim, and

contention made

by Plaintiff,

including any

and all

allegations of

fault, wrongdoing,

liability,

and

the

existence

of

any

damages

asserted

in

the

Complaint.

Certain

Individual

1

All terms

herein with

initial capitalization

shall, unless

defined elsewhere

in this

Stipulation, have

the meanings given to them in paragraph 1 below.

3

Defendants also dispute that Plaintiff has the capacity to bring this Action, and certain Individual

Defendants and Credit Suisse dispute that the trial court has jurisdiction over them personally.

C.

After the plaintiff in

a proceeding pending before the trial

court captioned

Cattan

v.

Rohner

, No.

652468/2020 (Sup.

Ct.

N.Y.

Cnty.)

(“

Cattan

”), amended

his complaint

to add

a

small number

of allegations

similar to

those made

in this Action,

on May 18,

2022, Plaintiff moved

to intervene

in and

for a

limited stay

of

Cattan

. On

April 10,

2023, the

trial court

dismissed the

Cattan

case and

granted Plaintiff’s

motion to

stay a

narrow range

of allegations

similar to

those

made in this Action.

D.

On September 23,

2022, three Defendants

moved to dismiss

the Complaint. They

argued that the

case should be dismissed

on

forum non conveniens

grounds and that the

Complaint

failed

to

plead

Swiss

law

breaches

of

fiduciary

duty

with

the

particularity

required

by

the

heightened standard of

CPLR 3016(b). Defendants’

motion to dismiss was

fully briefed, including

the submission of competing expert affirmations, and argued by December 8, 2022.

E.

The

Court

denied

Defendants’

motion

in

its

entirety

at

the

December

8,

2022

hearing and then subsequently entered an order on January 31, 2023.

F.

On

February

27,

2023,

those

Defendants

filed

a

motion

with

the

Court

seeking

to

reargue their motion to

dismiss on the pleading standard, which was

fully briefed, and oral argument

was held by July 18,

  1. On March 1, 2023, those Defendants filed

a notice of appeal with the First

Department.

G.

On

February

8,

2024,

after

full

briefing

and

argument,

the

First

Department

denied

Defendants’

appeal

and

unanimously

affirmed

the

Court’s

order

denying

Defendants’

motion

to

dismiss. Those Defendants sought leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals, which was

4

denied. The trial

court subsequently

denied Defendants’

motion for re-argument

on the pleading

standard.

H.

On November

21, 2023,

certain Defendants

moved

to dismiss

the Complaint

for

lack

of

standing

and

capacity

to

sue

and

failure

to

join

a

necessary

party.

Plaintiff

vigorously

opposed the motion. The motion was

briefed and then argued on August 15,

2024; at the direction

of

the

Court,

supplemental

submissions

were

made

on

June

13,

2025.

That

motion

remains

pending.

I.

The Parties engaged in extensive discovery. For example, Defendants and third parties

produced over two hundred and ninety-eight thousand (298,000) documents totaling over one

million

and five hundred and

eighty thousand (1,580,000) pages,

which Plaintiff’s team of attorneys

reviewed

and analyzed.

Plaintiff also took

depositions of

thirty-two (32)

witnesses, including

sixteen

(16)

named

Defendants,

in-person

in

London,

England,

New

York, Los

Angeles, Washington, D.C., and

West Palm

Beach, Florida, and remotely.

J.

The Parties

engaged in

international

discovery.

After an

initial

round

of

briefing

and argument

in 2023,

the Court

granted on

June 24,

2024 four

letters of

request for

discovery

from UBS and certain Individual

Defendants in Switzerland. On December 9,

2024, UBS moved

in a Swiss legal proceeding to dismiss

the letter of request directed at

UBS. That motion was fully

briefed

on

July

7,

2025,

and

remains

pending.

Plaintiff

withdrew

two

of

the

letters

of

request

seeking Swiss examinations of certain Individual Defendants, and one remains outstanding.

K.

The

Parties

filed

multiple

discovery

motions.

On

October

28,

2024,

Defendant

Gottstein

filed

a

motion

to

quash

a

deposition

notice.

On

November

5,

2024,

Plaintiff

filed

a

motion

to

compel

Credit

Suisse

to

produce

correspondence

with

the

Swiss

banking

regulator

FINMA. On

November 20,

2024, Plaintiff

filed a

motion to

compel disclosure

of certain

Defendant

5

communications. The Court denied Defendant Gottstein’s

motion as moot on July 14, 2025, after

Plaintiff and

Gottstein stipulated

to the

withdrawal of

the letter

of request

to Gottstein.

The motions

to compel remain pending.

L.

Plaintiff

and the

Individual Defendants

also

engaged in

significant

expert discovery.

For example, they exchanged

nine extensive expert

reports (four for

Plaintiff; five for

the Individual

Defendants)

totaling

many

hundreds

of

pages

on

issues

of

Swiss

law,

risk

management

controls,

corporate governance, and damages.

M.

On October

28, 2024,

certain Defendants

filed motions

to dismiss

the Complaint

for

lack of

personal jurisdiction.

Plaintiff vigorously

opposed those

motions. These

motions

were fully

briefed and then argued on May 2, 2025, and remain pending.

N.

The

Parties

and

UBS

engaged

in

extensive

settlement

negotiations,

which

were

supervised by one of

the nation’s preeminent mediators, former federal District Court judge,

Layn

Phillips.

Among

the

negotiations,

the

Parties

engaged

in

three

separate

full

day

in-person

mediation sessions in May 2023, May 2024, and July 2025.

O.

At the conclusion of the July 2025 mediation session, after extensive negotiations,

Judge Phillips issued a

mediator’s proposal to settle the

Action in exchange for a

cash payment of

$115,000,000 (United States

Dollars) for the benefit of

the Company,

which all Parties accepted.

The agreement in principle among the Parties and UBS

to settle the Action, which was subject

to

the execution

of a

formal, final

stipulation and

agreement of

settlement and

related papers,

was

memorialized in a Settlement Term Sheet executed on July 21, 2025 (the “Term

Sheet”).

P.

On

July

14,

2025,

Plaintiff

informed

the

Court

that

the

Parties

had

reached

an

agreement in principle to settle the Action.

6

Q.

This

Stipulation

(together with

the

exhibits

hereto) reflects

the

final

and

binding

agreement

among

the

Parties and

UBS

with respect

to

the

Settlement and

supersedes the

Term

Sheet.

R.

In connection with settlement discussions and negotiations leading to

the proposed

Settlement set forth in this Stipulation,

counsel for the Parties did not

discuss the appropriateness

or amount of any application for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses.

S.

Plaintiff

brought

its

claims

in

good

faith

and

continues

to

believe that

its

claims

have merit, but, based upon Plaintiff’s and

Plaintiff’s Counsel’s

investigation, including a review

of the

voluminous documents

and deposition

testimony produced

in this

Action, and

taking into

consideration the risks of

continued litigation and

the relative costs and

benefits to the

Company

of continuing this Action, Plaintiff

and Plaintiff’s Counsel have determined that the

Settlement is

fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the

Company and its stockholders. Based on

Plaintiff’s

direct oversight

of the

prosecution of

this

Action, and

with the

advice of

its counsel,

Plaintiff has agreed

to settle, compromise,

and release the

claims asserted in

the Action pursuant

to the

Settlement, after

considering (i)

the substantial

financial benefit

provided under

the proposed

Settlement;

(ii)

the

uncertain

outcome

and

significant

risks

of

continued

litigation;

and

(iii)

the

desirability

of

permitting

the

Settlement

to

be

consummated

as

provided

by

the

terms

of

this

Stipulation.

T.

The

Individual

Defendants

have

denied,

and

continue

to

deny,

each

and

every

allegation,

claim,

and

contention

made

by

Plaintiff,

including

any

and

all

allegations

of

fault,

wrongdoing,

liability,

and

the

existence

of

any

damages

asserted

in

the

Complaint.

Without

limiting the

generality of

the foregoing,

the Individual

Defendants have

denied, and

continue to

deny, that they have

committed any breach

of fiduciary duty

or wrongdoing, have

aided or

abetted

7

any

such

breach

or

wrongdoing,

have

violated

any

law

or

statutory

duty

whatsoever,

or

have

caused any damages to

Credit Suisse, and each

Individual Defendant expressly maintains

that he

or she has acted properly and in good faith and has diligently

and scrupulously complied with his

or her statutory, fiduciary,

and other legal duties. The Individual Defendants are entering into this

Stipulation and the Settlement solely to eliminate the burden, expense, disruption, and distraction

inherent

in

further

litigation,

and

without

admitting

the

validity

of

any

allegations

made

by

Plaintiff, or any liability with

respect thereto, and thus have

concluded that it is desirable

that the

claims against them be settled on the terms reflected in this Stipulation.

NOW

THEREFORE

,

it

is

STIPULATED

AND

AGREED

,

by

and

between Plaintiff,

UBS,

and

Defendants

that,

subject

to

the

approval

of

the

Court

under

New

York

Business

Corporation Law § 626, for good and valuable consideration set forth herein and conferred on the

Company,

the sufficiency

of which

is acknowledged,

the claims

asserted

in the

Action shall

be

finally and fully settled, resolved, discharged, and dismissed with

prejudice, and that the Released

Plaintiff’s

Claims

shall

be

finally

and

fully

settled,

resolved,

discharged,

and

dismissed

with

prejudice

against

the

Released

Defendants’

Persons,

and

that

the

Released

Defendants’

Claims

shall be

finally and

fully settled,

resolved, discharged,

and dismissed

with prejudice

against the

SETTLEMENT CONSIDERATION

6.

No later than

twenty (20) business days prior to the

date of the Settlement Hearing,

but no earlier than thirty (30) calendar days after: (a) the Court’s

grant of preliminary approval to

the

Settlement;

and

(2)

UBS’s

receipt

of

the

appropriate

payment

information

for

the

Escrow

Account, including wire instructions (including SWIFT Code),

a Form W-9,

and access to a duly

authorized

individual

who

can

verbally

confirm

payment

information,

UBS

shall

cause

the

Settlement Amount to be paid into the Escrow Account. No later than

ten (10) business days after

the

Effective

Date,

Plaintiff’s

Counsel

shall

cause

the

Settlement

Fund,

less

(i)

any

Fee

and

Expense Award (as defined in paragraph 10 below) paid or payable and/or

any reserve to account

for any

potential future

Fee and

Expense Award;

and (ii)

any Taxes

with respect

to any

interest

earned on the Settlement Fund while on deposit in the Escrow Account, to be transferred to UBS,

as successor to Credit Suisse.

All payments shall be made

by wire transfer to and

from the Escrow

Account; payments shall not be made by check. For avoidance of doubt, no Individual Defendant

shall be personally liable for funding the Settlement Amount.

7.

Except as

provided herein

or pursuant

to orders

of the

Court, the

Net Settlement

Fund shall remain

in the Escrow

Account prior to

the Effective Date.

All funds held by

the Escrow

Agent shall be deemed to be in custody

of the Court and shall remain subject to

the jurisdiction of

the Court until such time as the funds shall be distributed or returned pursuant to the terms of this

Stipulation

and/or

further

order

of

the

Court.

Except

as

otherwise

provided

in

this

paragraph,

Plaintiff’s

Counsel

will

instruct

the

Escrow

Agent

to

invest

any

funds

in

the

Escrow

Account

14

exclusively in United States Treasury Bills (or a mutual fund invested solely in such instruments)

and to collect

and reinvest all

interest accrued thereon,

except that any

residual cash balances

up

to the amount that is insured by

the FDIC may be deposited in any account that

is fully insured by

the

FDIC.

In

the

event

that

the

yield

on

United

States

Treasury

Bills

is

negative,

in

lieu

of

purchasing such Treasury

Bills, all or any portion

of the funds held by

the Escrow Agent may be

deposited in any account that is fully insured by the FDIC or backed

by the full faith and credit of

the United States. Additionally,

if short-term placement of the funds held by the Escrow Agent is

necessary,

all or any portion

of those funds may

be deposited in any

account that is

fully insured

by the FDIC or backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

8.

The Parties

and UBS

agree that

the Settlement

Fund is

intended to

be a

qualified

settlement

fund

within

the

meaning

of

Treasury

Regulation

§

1.468B-1

and

that

Plaintiff’s

Counsel,

as

administrator

of

the

Settlement

Fund

within

the

meaning

of

Treasury

Regulation

§ 1.468B-2(k)(3), shall be solely responsible for filing or causing to be filed all informational and

other

tax

returns

as

may

be

necessary

or

appropriate

(including,

without

limitation,

the

returns

described in Treasury

Regulation § 1.468B-2(k))

for the

Settlement Fund. Plaintiff’s Counsel

shall

also be responsible for causing payment to be made from the Settlement Fund of any Taxes owed

with respect to

the Settlement Fund.

The Released Defendants’

Persons shall not

have any liability

or responsibility for

any such Taxes.

Upon written request,

UBS will provide

Plaintiff’s Counsel

with

the

statement

described

in

Treasury

Regulation

§

1.468B-3(e).

Plaintiff’s

Counsel,

as

administrator of

the Settlement

Fund within

the meaning

of Treasury Regulation

§ 1.468B-2(k)(3),

shall

timely

make

such

elections

as

are

necessary

or

advisable

to

carry

out

this

paragraph,

including, as

necessary,

making a

“relation back

election,” as described

in Treasury

Regulation

§ 1.468B-1(j),

to cause

the qualified

settlement

fund to

come

into existence

at the

earliest

allowable

15

date, and

shall take

or cause

to be

taken all

actions as

may be

necessary

or appropriate

in connection

therewith.

9.

All Taxes shall be paid out of the Settlement Fund, and shall be timely paid, or caused

to be

timely paid,

by Plaintiff’s

Counsel

and without

further order

from the

Court. Any

tax

returns

prepared for the Settlement Fund (as well as the election set forth therein) shall be consistent with the

previous paragraph and

in all events

shall reflect that

all Taxes on the income

earned by the

Settlement

Fund shall be paid out

of the Settlement Fund

as provided herein. Plaintiff’s

Counsel will file a

final

tax return

for the

Settlement Fund,

which will

be subject

to a

three-year statute of limitations period

commencing on

the date

of filing

of the

final tax

return (the “Statutory Period”),

during which time the

IRS can review, analyze, and resolve any tax-related issues

related to

the Settlement Fund.

At the time

of transfer

of the

balance of

the Settlement

Fund

to UBS

pursuant to

paragraph 6

above, Plaintiff’s

Counsel shall be permitted to withhold a portion of

the Settlement

Fund in

reserve in

a non-interest-

bearing escrow account

to cover any

future Taxes

required to be

paid by the

IRS with respect

to the

Settlement Fund (the “Tax

Reserve”). UBS may

elect to have

the unused Tax

Reserve transferred to

UBS before the expiration of the Statutory

Period, provided

that UBS

first issues

to Plaintiff’s

Counsel

a written

assurance to

timely pay to the IRS any additional Taxes (including any penalties) owed with

respect to the Settlement Fund.

IV.

ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND LITIGATION EXPENSES

10.

In connection

with the

Settlement, Plaintiff’s

Counsel will

apply to

the Court

for

an award of attorneys’

fees and payment

of Litigation Expenses

(the “Fee and

Expense Award”)

to be paid

solely from (and out

of) the Settlement Fund.

In connection with

Plaintiff’s Counsel’s

application

for

a

Fee and

Expense Award,

Plaintiff

may petition

the

Court for

a

service award

16

(“Service

Award”)

to

be

paid

solely

from

any

Fee

and

Expense

Award

to

Plaintiff’s

Counsel.

Defendants

reserve

the

right

to

oppose

Plaintiff’s

Counsel’s

application

for

a

Fee

and

Expense

Award, including Plaintiff’s

application for a Service Award.

11.

Any

Fee

and

Expense

Award

approved

by

the

Court

shall

be

paid

to

Plaintiff’s

Counsel,

and

any

Service

Award

approved

by

the

Court

shall

be

paid

to

Plaintiff,

from

the

Settlement

Fund

immediately

upon

award,

notwithstanding

the

existence

of

any

timely

filed

objections thereto, or potential

for appeal therefrom, or

collateral attack on the

Settlement or any

part thereof, subject

to Plaintiff’s Counsel’s and Plaintiff’s obligation to make appropriate refunds

or repayments to the

Settlement Fund, plus accrued interest

at the same net

rate as is earned

by the

Settlement Fund, if the Settlement is terminated pursuant

to the terms of this Stipulation or if,

as a

result of any appeal or further proceedings on remand, or successful collateral attack, the Fee and

Expense Award or any Service Award is reduced or reversed and

such order reducing or

reversing

the award has become Final.

Plaintiff’s Counsel and Plaintiff shall make the appropriate refund

or

repayment in

full

no

later

than

twenty

(20)

business

days

after: (a)

receiving

from

Defendants’

Counsel notice of the

termination of the Settlement; or

(b) any order reducing or reversing

the Fee

and Expense Award has

become Final.

12.

It

is

not

a

condition

of

this

Stipulation,

the

Settlement,

or

the

Judgment

that

the

Court award any attorneys’ fees

or expenses, including any service award

to Plaintiff. In the event

that the

Court does

not award attorneys’

fees or

expenses or

a service

award, or

in the

event the

Court makes an award in

an amount that is less

than the amount requested

by Plaintiff’s Counsel

or Plaintiff or

is otherwise unsatisfactory to

Plaintiff’s Counsel or Plaintiff, or

in the event

that any

such

award

is

vacated

or

reduced

on

appeal,

this

Stipulation

and

the

Settlement,

including

the

effectiveness of the Releases and

other obligations of the Parties

and UBS under the Settlement,

17

nevertheless

shall

remain

in

full

force

and

effect.

Neither

Plaintiff

nor

Plaintiff’s

Counsel

may

cancel or

terminate the

Settlement based

on this

Court’s or any

appellate court’s ruling

with respect

to any Fee and Expense Award

or any Service Award.

any fact alleged

by Plaintiff; the

validity of any

claim that

was or could

have been asserted;

the validity of

any legal

arguments that Plaintiff has made or could

have made; the deficiency of

any defense that has been

or could

have been

asserted in

22

Released Defendants’

Persons had

meritorious defenses,

or that

damages recoverable

under the

Complaint

would

not

have

exceeded

the

Settlement

Amount

or

with

respect

to

any

liability,

negligence, fault,

or wrongdoing

of any

Persons,

in

arbitration

proceeding

proceeding, other than such proceedings as

may be necessary

to effectuate the provisions of this Stipulation; or

(d)

shall

be

against

any

of

the

Released

Persons

as

an

admission,

concession, or presumption

that the consideration

to be given

hereunder represents the

judgment

amount that could be or would have been achieved after trial;

provided,

however

,

that

if

the

Settlement

is

approved

by

the

Court,

the

Parties,

UBS,

and

the

Released

Persons

and

their

respective

counsel

may

refer

to

this

Stipulation

to

effectuate

the

protections from

liability granted

under this

Stipulation or

otherwise to

enforce the

terms of

the

Settlement.

IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

PROVISIONS

21.

All of the exhibits attached

hereto are incorporated by reference as though

fully set

forth herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

if there exists

a conflict or

inconsistency between the

terms of this Stipulation and the terms of any exhibit attached hereto, the terms of this Stipulation

control.

22.

In the

event of

the entry

of a

Final order

of a

court of

competent jurisdiction

determining

the transfer of money to the Settlement Fund or any portion

thereof by or on behalf of UBS or any of

the Defendants to

be a preference,

voidable transfer, fraudulent transfer, or similar

transaction and any

portion

thereof

is

required

to

be

returned,

and

such

amount

is

not

promptly

deposited

into

the

Settlement Fund by others, then, at the election of Plaintiff, Plaintiff

23

and Defendants

shall jointly

move the

Court to

vacate and

set aside

the Releases

given and

the

Judgment

entered

in

favor

of

Defendants

and

the

other

Released

Persons

pursuant

to

this

Stipulation, in which event the

Releases and Judgment shall be null

and void, and the Parties shall

be restored to their respective positions in the Action as provided in paragraph 19 above.

23.

The Parties

intend this

Stipulation

and the

Settlement to

be a

final and

complete

resolution

of

all

disputes

asserted

or

which

could

be

asserted

by

Plaintiff

with

respect

to

the

Released Plaintiff’s Claims. Accordingly, the Parties, UBS, and their respective counsel agree

not

to assert in any forum that this Action was brought

by Plaintiff or defended by Defendants in bad

faith or without

a reasonable basis.

The Parties, UBS,

and their respective

counsel agree that

the

amounts paid and the terms of

the Settlement were negotiated at

arm’s length and in good faith by

the

Parties

and

UBS,

and

reflect

the

Settlement

that

was

reached

voluntarily

after

extensive

negotiations and consultation with experienced legal counsel, who were fully competent to assess

the strengths and weaknesses of their respective clients’ claims or defenses.

24.

While

retaining

their

right

to

deny

that

the

claims

asserted

in

the

Action

were

meritorious, the

Parties, UBS,

and their

respective counsel,

in any

statement made

to any

media

representative (whether

or not

for attribution)

will not

assert that

the Action

was commenced

or

prosecuted in bad

faith, nor will

they deny

that the Action

was commenced and

prosecuted in

good

faith and is being settled voluntarily after

consultation with competent legal counsel.

In all events,

the

Parties,

UBS,

and

their

respective

counsel

shall

not

make

any

accusations

of

wrongful

or

actionable conduct by any Party

concerning the prosecution, defense, or resolution of the

Action,

and shall not otherwise

suggest that the Settlement

constitutes an admission of

any claim, defense,

or legal argument.

24

25.

The terms

of the

Settlement, as

reflected in

this

Stipulation, may

not be

modified or

amended, nor may any of its provisions be waived except by

a writing signed on behalf of

each of the

Parties and UBS (or their successors-in-interest).

26.

The headings

herein are

used for

the purpose

of convenience

only and

are not

meant

to

have

legal

effect.

The

use

of

the

word

“including”

herein

shall

mean

“including

without

limitation.”

27.

If any

deadline set

forth in this

Stipulation or the

exhibits hereto

falls on a

Saturday,

Sunday, or legal holiday,

that deadline will be continued to the next business day.

28.

Without

further

order

of

the

Court,

the

Parties

and

UBS

may

agree

to

reasonable

extensions of time to carry out any of the provisions of this Stipulation.

29.

The

administration

and

consummation

of

the

Settlement

as

embodied

in

this

Stipulation shall be under the authority

of the Court, and the Court shall have

jurisdiction over the

Action for

the purpose

of entering

orders providing

for awards

of attorneys’

fees and

Litigation

Expenses to Plaintiff’s Counsel, and enforcing the terms of this Stipulation.

30.

The waiver by

one Party

or UBS of

any breach of

this Stipulation

by any other

Party

or UBS

shall not

be deemed

a waiver

of such

breach by

any other

Party or

UBS or

a waiver

by the

waiving Party or UBS of any other prior or subsequent breach of this Stipulation.

31.

This Stipulation and its

exhibits constitute the entire

agreement among the Parties

and UBS concerning the Settlement and this Stipulation and its exhibits.

32.

This

Stipulation

may

be

executed

in

one

or

more

counterparts,

including

by

signature transmitted via facsimile, DocuSign,

or by a .pdf/.tif

image of the signature transmitted

via email.

All executed

counterparts and

each of

them shall

be deemed

to be

one and

the same

instrument.

25

33.

This Stipulation shall

be binding

upon and inure

to the benefit

of the

successors and

assigns

of

the

Parties

and UBS,

and the

Released Persons,

and

any

corporation, partnership,

or

other

entity

into

or

with

which

any

Party

or

UBS

may

merge,

consolidate,

or

reorganize.

The

Parties and

UBS acknowledge

and agree,

for the

avoidance of

doubt, that

the Released

Defendants’

Persons and the Released Plaintiff’s Persons

are intended beneficiaries of this Stipulation and are

entitled to enforce the Releases contemplated by the Settlement.

34.

The construction,

interpretation, operation,

effect,

and validity

of this

Stipulation

and all documents necessary to effectuate

it shall be governed by the

internal laws of the State of

New York

without regard

to conflicts

of laws,

except to

the extent

that federal

law requires

that

federal law govern.

35.

Any action to

enforce this

Stipulation or

any portion

thereof shall be

commenced

and maintained only in this Court.

36.

This

Stipulation

shall

not

be

construed

more

strictly

against

one

Party

or

UBS

than

another merely by

virtue of

the fact that

it, or any

part of it,

may have been

prepared by counsel

for

one of the Parties or UBS, it being recognized that it

is the result of arm’s-length

negotiations among

Plaintiff, Defendants, and UBS

and that Plaintiff, Defendants,

and UBS have

contributed substantially

and materially to the preparation of this Stipulation.

37.

All counsel and all other persons executing this Stipulation and any of the exhibits

hereto, or

any related

Settlement documents, warrant

and represent

that they have

the full authority

to

do

so

and

that

they

have the

authority

to

take

appropriate

action

required

or

permitted

to

be

taken pursuant to this Stipulation to effectuate its terms.

38.

The Parties

and UBS

agree to

cooperate fully

with one

another to

obtain (and,

if

necessary,

defend

on

appeal)

all

necessary

approvals

of

the

Court

required

of

this

Stipulation

26

(including using

their respective

best efforts

to resolve

any objections

raised to

the Settlement),

and to use

best efforts

to promptly

agree upon

and execute all

such other

documentation as may

be reasonably required to obtain

final approval by the Court

of the Settlement. For the avoidance

of doubt, this paragraph does not apply to Plaintiff’s Counsel’s application for a Fee and Expense

Award or Plaintiff’s

application for a Service Award.

39.

If

any

Party

or

UBS

is

required

to

give

notice

to

another

Party

or

UBS

under

this

Stipulation, such notice shall be in writing and shall

be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt

of
