Hans Nützi Appointed New CEO of Clariden Leu

Zurich, November 1, 2007 — Hans Nützi, Deputy CEO and Head of Investment Products & Wealth Management Services, will assume overall management of Clariden Leu with effect from
November 15, 2007. Current CEO F. Bernard Stalder is retiring for personal reasons.

F. Bernard Stalder, CEO of Clariden Leu, is handing over the reins of the company to his deputy Hans Nützi with effect from November 15, 2007. Walter Berchtold, Chairman of the Board of Clariden Leu, commented: “I regret to announce that F. Bernard Stalder has decided to leave Clariden Leu. He has played a leading role in building up Clariden Leu and made a substantial contribution to the outstanding market positioning of the former Clariden Bank. His entrepreneurial mentality has left a lasting imprint on the culture of Clariden Leu. I would like to thank F. Bernard Stalder for his relentless dedication to our company and wish him all the best for the future.”

“I am very pleased to have such a competent and widely experienced successor — Hans Nützi — from within our own organization”, Walter Berchtold says further. “As long-standing CEO of the former Bank Leu, he is perfectly suited to taking on this new responsibility. One of his many accomplishments at Bank Leu includes the successful transformation of this financial institution from a universal bank to a dynamic private bank. Hans Nützi was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the new Clariden Leu. Having initially headed Private Banking and then Investment Products & Wealth Management Services, he has in-depth knowledge of these two strategic business areas of the bank. Together with the existing management team, Hans Nützi will pursue the course set by Clariden Leu consistently and successfully.”

The ad interim successor to Hans Nützi as Head of Investment Products & Wealth Management Services will be Stefan K. Kräuchi, who was recently
