11. Subordinated Borrowings
The Company has subordinated loans with UBS Americas Holding LLC, consisting of term loans

million maturing on November 30, 2024; and $800 million maturing on May 30, 2025.
Loans with UBS Americas Holding LLC bear interest at rates that reset at variable intervals as
determined by the Parent, based upon similar funding costs, which approximated one month
LIBOR plus a spread based on UBS external rates. Effective June 30, 2021, the agreements were
amended to bear interest at rates based upon SOFR plus an agreed upon spread.
These subordinated borrowings are available in computing regulatory net capital. See Note 15.
12. Risk Management
The Company's risk management policies and related procedures are aligned with those of the
Parent. The Company's risk governance framework operates along three lines of defense. The first
line of defense, business management, owns respective risk exposures and is required to maintain
effective processes and systems to manage its risks, including robust and comprehensive internal
controls and documented procedures. Business management has appropriate supervisory controls
and review processes in place designed to identify control weaknesses and inadequate processes.
The second line of defense, the control functions, provides independent oversight of risks, including
assisting in setting risk limits and protecting against non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.
