Keller Rohrback L.L.P. Announces ERISA Investigation of the UBS Savings and Investment Plan
Friday June 27, 2:25 pm ET

SEATTLE, June 27, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P. (http://www.erisafraud.com) announces that it has commenced an investigation against UBS AG (``UBS'' or the ``Company'') (NYSE:UBS - News) for potential violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (``ERISA''), as amended. The investigation focuses on investments in UBS stock by the UBS Savings and Investment Plan (the ``Plan'').

Keller Rohrback's investigation involves concerns that UBS and other administrators of the Plan may have breached their ERISA-mandated fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence to participants and beneficiaries of the Plan. A breach may have occurred if the fiduciaries failed to manage the assets of the Plan prudently and loyally by investing the assets in Company stock when it was no longer a prudent investment for participants' retirement savings. Specifically, UBS and the Plan's other fiduciaries continued to invest in and hold UBS stock in the Plan despite the Company's apparent mismanagement of the risk of assets held by the Company and its gross failure to maintain adequate capital and liquidity.

If you are a participant in the UBS Savings and Investment Plan or held UBS stock in the Plan, you may contact paralegal Mark Gangl or attorneys Erin Riley, Derek Loeser or Lynn Sarko toll free at 800-776-6044, or at investor@kellerrohrback.com.
