UBS Group AG exceeds then falls below 5% of capital in RUBIS

Swiss company UBS Group AG recently crossed the 5% threshold for capital and voting rights at RUBIS. On April 10, 2025, UBS acquired 7,449,012 RUBIS shares, reaching a 7.22% stake. This off-market acquisition required a declaration, canceling the trading exemption. UBS also detailed its indirect ownership through several contracts, including "right of use" and "long call options."

Furthermore, the very next day, on April 11, 2025, UBS sold RUBIS shares, reducing its stake to just 0.01%. This sale allowed UBS to return below the 5% threshold and once again benefit from the trading exemption. The remaining shares are held under a "right of use" contract.
