Notes to the UBS Group AG standalone financial statements

Note 1

Corporate information

UBS Group AG is incorporated and

domiciled in Switzerland, and its registered

office is at Bahnhofstrasse 45, CH-8001

Zurich,

Switzerland.

UBS

Group

AG

operates

under

Art.

620

et

seq.

of

the

Swiss

Code

of

Obligations

as

an

Aktiengesellschaft

(a corporation limited by shares).

The UBS Group AG

standalone financial statements are prepared

in accordance with the

principles of the Swiss

law on

accounting and financial reporting (32nd title of the Swiss Code of Obligations).

The significant accounting and valuation principles applied are described in Note 2.

UBS Group AG is the

ultimate holding company of the UBS

Group, the grantor of certain

deferred compensation plans

of UBS Group and the issuer of loss-absorbing capital notes, which qualify as Basel III additional tier 1 (AT1) capital on a

consolidated UBS Group basis, and senior unsecured debt, which contributes to the total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)

of the Group.

The proceeds

from the

issuances of

loss-absorbing AT1

capital notes

and TLAC-eligible

senior unsecured

debt instruments

are on

lent to

UBS AG

or were

on lent

to either

UBS AG

or Credit

Suisse AG

until the

two entities

merged on

31 May 2024.

Refer to Notes 14 and 16 for more information about the main terms and conditions of the loss-absorbing

AT1 capital notes and

TLAC-eligible senior unsecured debt instruments issued

In addition,

UBS Group

AG grants

Deferred Contingent

Capital Plan

(DCCP) awards

to UBS

Group employees.

These

DCCP awards also qualify as Basel III AT1 capital of the Group.

As

of 31

December 2025,

UBS

Group

AG

s

distributable

items

for

the

purpose

of

AT1

capital

instruments

were

USD 70.2bn

(CHF 55.6bn)

(31 December 2024:

USD 64bn

(CHF 58.1bn)).

For

this

purpose,

distributable

items

are

defined in

the terms

and conditions of

the relevant

instruments as the

aggregate of

(i) net

profits carried

forward and

(ii) freely distributable reserves, in

each case less any

amounts that must be

contributed to legal reserves

under applicable

law.

In 2025, as approved by shareholders at

the Annual General Meeting (the AGM)

held on 10 April 2025, the cancellation

of 120,506,008 shares,

each with a

nominal value of

USD 0.10, acquired

under the 2022

share repurchase program,

was

executed. The

cancellation of

these shares

resulted in

reclassifications within equity

but had

no net

effect on

the total

equity attributable to shareholders. The share

capital has been reduced by

the nominal value of the

repurchased shares

upon cancellation,

i.e. USD

12m (CHF

10m). The

capital contribution

reserve and

the voluntary

earnings reserve

were

each

reduced

by

50%

of

the

total

capital

reduction

amount

exceeding

the

nominal

value

upon

cancellation

of

the

repurchased shares, i.e. each by USD 1,133m (CHF 898m).

Note 2

Accounting policies

Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the spot

exchange rate on the date of

the

transaction. At the balance sheet

date, all current assets and short-term

liabilities, as well as

Financial assets

measured at

fair value that are denominated in a foreign currency,

are translated into US dollars using the closing exchange rate. For

Other non-current assets

and long-term

liabilities, where

the asset mirrors

the terms of

a corresponding

liability or the

asset and

liability otherwise

form an

economic hedge

relationship, the

asset and

liability are

treated as

one unit

of account

for foreign currency translation purposes, with

offsetting unrealized foreign currency

translation gains and losses based

on the

closing exchange

rate presented

net in

the income

statement.

Investments in

subsidiaries

measured at

historic

cost are translated at

the spot exchange rate on

the date of a contribution.

Currency translation effects from

dividends

paid

in

Swiss

francs

are

recognized

in

equity.

All

other

currency

translation

effects

are

recognized

in

the

income

statement.

The

main

currency

translation

rates

used

by

UBS

Group

AG

are

provided

in

Note

31

in

the

“Consolidated

financial

statements” section of the UBS Group Annual Report 2025, available under “Annual reporting” at

ubs.com/investors

.

Note 2

Accounting policies (continued)

Presentation currencies

The primary presentation currency of the standalone financial statements of UBS Group AG

is the US dollar, in line with

its functional currency. Amounts in Swiss francs are also presented for each component of the financial statements.

As of

1 January

2025, UBS

Group AG

has prospectively

adopted the

closing rate

method for

converting US

dollar amounts

into Swiss francs. Under this method, all assets, liabilities and equity positions, as well as income and expense items, are

converted at

the closing

rate. In

the comparative

period, UBS

Group AG

applied the

modified closing rate

method for

converting US dollar amounts into Swiss francs: assets and liabilities were converted at the closing rate, equity positions

at

historic

rates

and

income

and

expense

items

at

the

weighted

average

rate

for

the

period.

The

resulting

currency

translation effects

were recognized

separately in

Voluntary earnings

reserve

, amounting

to a

cumulative negative

currency

translation effect of CHF 2,137m as of 31 December 2024.

UBS Group AG

has updated the

accounting policy as

it provides a

more current and

more relevant presentation

of the

Swiss franc equivalents of the underlying US dollar amounts. The change in the accounting policy had no impact on the

amounts presented in the primary presentation currency, the US dollar.

Marketable securities

Marketable securities

includes investment funds held to hedge granted deferred compensation awards with future cash

distributions linked to the

underlying funds. The holding

period is deemed short

term if the vesting

date of the awards

hedged by the funds is

within 12 months after the

balance sheet date. These are

equity instruments and are measured

at fair value

based on quoted

market prices or

other observable market

prices as of

the balance sheet

date. Gains and

losses resulting from fair value changes are recognized in

Financial income

and

Financial expenses

, respectively.

Financial assets

Financial assets

includes investment funds

with a long-term

holding period. The

holding period is

deemed long term

if

the vesting

date of

the awards

hedged by

the funds

is more

than 12

months after

the balance

sheet date.

These are

equity instruments and are measured at

fair value based on

their quoted market prices

or other observable market

prices

as of the balance sheet date.

Gains and losses resulting from

fair value changes are recognized

in

Financial income

and

Financial expenses,

respectively.

Financial assets

also includes loans to and fixed-term

deposits with UBS AG, as well

as debt securities of UBS AG

(initially

issued

by

Credit

Suisse

AG),

all

with

a

remaining

maturity

of

more

than

12

months.

The

loans

granted

to

UBS AG

substantially mirror the

terms of the

perpetual AT1 capital

notes and the

TLAC-eligible senior unsecured

debt instruments

issued.

The

debt

securities represent

downstream funding

that

substantially mirrors

the

terms of

TLAC-eligible

senior

unsecured debt instruments issued. These instruments are measured at cost value.

Refer to Note 13 for more information

Derivative instruments

UBS Group

AG uses

derivative instruments to

manage exposures

to foreign

currency risks

from investments

in foreign

subsidiaries and exposures

to interest

rate risk

from certain

fixed-rate debt

instruments. The

derivative instruments are

entered into with UBS AG, mirroring the conditions of the transactions that they enter into with third parties.

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value based

on quoted market prices or other observable market prices

as of

the balance sheet date. Unrealized gains

and losses are recognized on the

balance sheet as

Accrued income and prepaid

expenses

and

Accrued expenses

and deferred

income

, respectively.

Corresponding gains

and losses

resulting from

fair

value changes are recognized in

Financial income

and

Financial expenses

, respectively.

Hedge accounting

UBS Group

AG applies

the following

hedge accounting

policies where

requirements on

risk management,

documentation

and effectiveness are met.

Fair value hedges of interest rate risk related to debt instruments

UBS

Group

AG

designates

certain

fixed-rate

issued

debt

instruments

and

fixed-to-floating

interest

rate

derivatives

as

hedged

items

and

hedging instruments,

respectively,

in

fair

value

hedge

accounting

relationships. The

hedged

risk

is

determined

as

the

change in

the

fair

value

of

the

issued

debt

instruments attributable

to

changes

in

the

designated

benchmark interest rates. The

effective portion of gains

and losses of the

hedging instruments is deferred

on the balance

sheet as

Accrued income

and prepaid expenses

or

Accrued expenses and deferred income

.

UBS Group AG standalone financial statements

Note 2

Accounting policies (continued)

Hedge accounting for Investments in subsidiaries

UBS Group

AG applies

hedge accounting

for certain

investments in

subsidiaries denominated

in currencies

other than

the

US

dollar,

which

are

designated

as

hedged

items.

For

this

purpose,

foreign

exchange

(FX)

derivatives,

mainly

FX

forwards and FX swaps, are used and designated

as hedging instruments. The hedged risk is determined as

the change

in the fair

value of the

hedged item arising

solely from changes

in spot FX

rates. Consequently, UBS

Group AG designates

the spot

element of

the FX

derivatives as

hedging instruments.

Changes in

the fair

value of

the hedging

instruments

attributable to changes in forward

points are not part of

a hedge accounting designation and

are recognized in

Financial

income

or

Financial expenses

in the income statement. The

effective portion of gains and

losses of these FX derivatives is

deferred on

the balance

sheet as

Accrued income

and prepaid

expenses

or

Accrued expenses

and deferred

income

to

the extent

no change

is recognized

in the

carrying amount

of the

hedged item

arising from

changes in

spot FX

rates.

Otherwise, the effective portion of gains and losses of these FX derivatives is matched with the corresponding valuation

adjustments of the hedged item

recorded in the income statement

and recognized either as

a reduction of

Impairment

of investments in subsidiaries

or as

Extraordinary income

.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments

in

subsidiaries

are

equity

interests

that

are

held

to

carry

on

the

business

of

the

UBS

Group

or

for

other

strategic purposes. They include all subsidiaries directly held by UBS Group AG through which UBS conducts its business

on

a

global

basis.

The

investments

are

carried

at

cost

less

impairment

and

generally

measured

individually.

In

the

comparative period, until the

then-contemplated merger,

which became effective

on 31 May

2024, the investments in

UBS

AG

and

Credit

Suisse

AG

were

combined

as

a

valuation

unit

as

these

investments

were

economically

closely

interlinked.

The carrying

amount of

an investment

is tested

for impairment

when indicators

of a

potential decrease

in value

exist,

which include

significant operating

losses incurred

or a

severe depreciation

of the

currency in

which the

investment is

denominated. If an investment in a subsidiary is impaired,

its value is generally written down to the recoverable amount.

Subsequent recoveries in value are

recognized up to the original

cost value if, in

the opinion of management, forecasts

of future

probability provide sufficient

evidence that an

increased recoverable amount

is supported. Management

may

exercise its discretion as to what extent, and in which period, a recovery in value is recognized.

Refer to Note 3 and Note 12 for more information

Refer to “Note 2a Segment reporting” in the “Consolidated financial statements” section of the UBS Group

Annual Report 2025,

available under “Annual reporting” at

ubs.com/investors

, for a description of businesses of the UBS Group

Long-term interest-bearing liabilities

Long-term interest-bearing liabilities include loss-absorbing capital notes and senior unsecured debt. They are presented

at nominal value.

Any difference

to nominal value,

e.g. premium, discount

or external costs

that are directly

related to

the issue,

is deferred

as

Other non-current

assets

or

Other long-term

liabilities

and amortized

to

Financial expenses

or

Financial

income

over

the

maturity

of

the

instrument

or

until

the

first

call

date

or

optional

redemption

date,

where

applicable.

Refer to Note 1 and Note 16 for more information

Treasury shares

Treasury

shares acquired

by UBS

Group AG

are recognized

at acquisition

cost and

are presented

as a

deduction from

shareholders’ equity.

Upon disposal of treasury

shares or settlement of

related share-based awards, any

realized gain or loss

is recognized in

Voluntary earnings

reserve

. Realized

gains and

losses from

settlement of

share-based awards

represent the

difference

between the acquisition cost of

the UBS Group AG shares

and the grant date fair

value of the share-based awards.

For

the year

ended 31 December

2025, a

net loss

of USD 391m

(CHF 310m) from

settlement of

share-based awards

was

recognized in

Voluntary earnings reserve

(2024 comparative period: net loss of USD 322m (CHF 291m)).

For UBS Group AG shares acquired by

a direct or indirect subsidiary, a

Reserve for treasury shares held by

subsidiaries

is

created in UBS Group AG’s equity.

Refer to Note 19 for more information

Note 2

Accounting policies (continued)

Share-based and other deferred compensation plans

Share-based compensation plans

The

grant

date

fair

value

of

equity-settled

share-based

compensation

awards

granted

to

employees

is

generally

recognized

over the

vesting period

of the

awards.

Awards

granted by

UBS Group

AG in

the form

of UBS

Group

AG

shares and notional shares are settled by delivering UBS Group AG shares at vesting, except in jurisdictions where this is

not permitted

for legal or

tax reasons. They

are recognized as

Compensation-related long-term

liabilities

if vesting

is more

than 12 months

after the balance sheet

date, or as

Accrued expenses and

deferred income

if vesting is

within 12 months

of the balance

sheet date.

The amount

recognized is adjusted

for forfeiture assumptions,

such that

the amount

ultimately

recognized is based on

the number of

awards that meet the

related service conditions

at the vesting

date. The grant

date

fair value is based

on the UBS Group AG

share price on the date

of grant, taking into

consideration post-vesting sale and

hedge restrictions, dividend rights, non-vesting conditions, and market conditions, where applicable.

Upon settlement of

the share-based awards,

any realized gain

or loss on

the treasury shares

is recognized in

Voluntary

earnings reserve

. Realized gains and losses from settlement of share-based

awards represent the difference between the

acquisition cost of the UBS Group AG shares and the grant date fair value of the share-based awards.

Other deferred compensation plans

Deferred compensation plans

that are not

share-based, including DCCP

awards and awards

linked to the

performance

of investment funds, are accounted for as cash-settled awards. The present value or fair value of the amount payable to

employees that

is settled

in cash

is recognized

as a

liability generally over

the vesting

period, as

Compensation-related

long-term liabilities

if vesting

is more than

12 months

after the

balance sheet

date, and

as

Accrued expenses

and deferred

income

if vesting is within 12 months from

the balance sheet date. The liabilities are

remeasured at each balance sheet

date at

the present

value of the

corresponding DCCP

award and

the fair

value of

investment funds linked

to deferred

compensation awards. Gains

and losses resulting

from remeasurement of the

liabilities are recognized in

Other operating

income

and

Other operating expenses

, respectively.

Recharge of compensation expenses

Expenses

related

to

deferred

compensation

plans

are

recharged

by

UBS

Group

AG

to

its

subsidiaries

employing

the

personnel.

Upon

recharge,

UBS

Group

AG

recognizes

a

receivable

from

its

subsidiaries

corresponding

to

a

liability

representing its obligation toward the employees.

Dispensations in the standalone financial statements

As UBS

Group AG

prepares consolidated

financial statements

in accordance

with IFRS,

UBS Group

AG is

exempt from

various disclosures

in the

standalone financial

statements. The

dispensations include

the management

report and

the

statement of cash flows, as well as certain note disclosures.

Note 3

Investments in and merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG

In the

comparative period,

until the

then-contemplated merger, which

became effective

on 31

May 2024,

the investments

of UBS

Group AG

in both

UBS AG

and Credit

Suisse AG

were aggregated

for impairment

(reversal) testing

purposes.

Such an aggregation (i.e. “valuation unit”) was

permitted under the accounting rules applicable

to UBS Group AG given

that at this

time UBS AG

and Credit Suisse

AG were closely

interlinked. The applicable accounting

rules also permitted

the

historic cost

value for

the

investment in

Credit

Suisse AG,

as

per the

former Credit

Suisse Group

AG standalone

financial statements, to be combined with the cost value for the investment in UBS AG. The

book value assigned to the

investment in the combined entity (UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG) of

USD 72,567m (CHF 65,898m) was below the cost

value under

these rules

and below

the recoverable

amount determined

at that

time by

using a

discounted cash

flow

model based on the business plan for the combined entity.

Statement of proposed appropriation of total profit

and dividend distribution out of total profit and

The Board of Directors (the

BoD) proposes that the Annual

General Meeting of Shareholders on

15 April 2026 approve

the appropriation of total profit and an ordinary dividend distribution of USD 1.10 (gross) in cash per share of USD 0.10

nominal value under the terms set out below:

The amount

is based on

the total number

of shares issued

as of

31 December 2025. If the final total

amount of the dividend is higher

or lower, the

difference will be balanced through the

appropriation to the voluntary earnings

reserve.

shares held by

as of the

record date.

The amount

of USD 1,838m presented

is based on

the total number

of shares issued

as of

31 December 2025.

2 For illustrative purposes, converted at the closing exchange

rate as of 31 December 2025.

As set out above,

half of the ordinary

dividend distribution of USD 1.10 (gross)

in cash per share

is payable out of

total

profit, and the other half is payable out of the capital contribution reserve. The portion of the dividend paid out of total

profit will be subject to a 35% Swiss withholding tax.

The ordinary dividend distribution is declared

in US dollars. Shareholders whose shares

are held through SIX SIS

AG will

receive dividends

in Swiss

francs, based

on a

published exchange

rate calculated

up to

five decimal

places on

the day

prior to the

ex-dividend date. Shareholders

holding shares through

DTC or directly

registered in the

US share register

with

Computershare will be paid dividends in US dollars.

In May 2024, the US

changed its settlement practice

from t+2, as common in

Europe, to t+1, to reduce

the risk between

the execution

and settlement

of a

trade. To

align the

two different

settlement practices regarding

the corporate event

key dates, UBS decided to set the ex-dividend date on the NYSE one day later than on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Provided

that

the

proposed

dividend

distribution

out

of

the

total

profit

and

the

capital

contribution

reserve

is

approved,

the

payment of USD 1.10 (or

the Swiss franc equivalent)

per share will be made

on 23 April 2026 to

holders of shares on the

record date 22 April 2026

on the SIX Swiss Exchange

and the NYSE. However, on

the SIX Swiss Exchange, the

shares will

be

traded

ex-dividend

as

of

21

April

2026

and,

accordingly,

the

last

day

on

which

the

shares

may

be

traded

with

entitlement to

receive the

dividend will

be 20

April 2026.

On the

NYSE, the

shares will

be traded

ex-dividend as

of 22 April

2026, and the last

day on which the

shares may be

traded with entitlement

to receive the dividend

will be 21 April 2026.
