UBS revealed on Thursday that more former executives had repaid their bonuses as almost 2,500 shareholders braved arctic temperatures to vote on the SFr6bn government bail-out of the troubled Swiss bank.
Peter Kurer, chairman, told shareholders that the start of the extraordinary general meeting had been brought forward to an unusually early 9am to allow sufficient time to air what he knew would be extremely heated feelings on the issue of compensation and bonus payments.
