Woz: Fictitious words of apology from the mouth of Ospel
The weekly newspaper *Woz* is publishing a special edition to coincide with UBS's third extraordinary general meeting this year. In a fictional interview, former UBS CEO Marcel Ospel apologizes and announces that the bank will be renamed.
The weekly newspaper (Woz) comes up with a special edition for the 3rd extraordinary general meeting of UBS this year. In a fictitious interview, ex-UBS boss Marcel Ospel apologizes and announces a renaming of the bank. Instead of UBS, the big bank is to be called UNS in the future - a name that strengthens the sense of community, the paper quotes its fictitious interview partner as saying. A full-page portrait of Ospel in the style of the current UBS image campaign with the quote "I'm sorry..." covers the normal front page.
Inside the paper, there is a full-page ad for the new UNS bank, with modern security keys instead of the bearded keys of the UBS logo.
A graphic "Return on Female Management" shows social profit with simultaneous risk reduction with more women on the carpet. The Woz also gives the new institute a completely new mission statement with virtues that would suit any company.
In addition, Thursday's Woz analyzes the current financial and banking crisis in Switzerland in a thoroughly serious manner. The latest issue was distributed free of charge. For this purpose, a large print run of 50,000 copies was printed. An ordinary print run comprises 20,000.
The distribution encountered difficulties outside the Lucerne Exhibition Hall, where the UBS AGM was held, according to SDA. Woz editorial director Susan Boos explained that the distribution campaign was initially obstructed with the reference to a missing permit. Only the fact that copies of Finanz und Wirtschaft were also distributed led to the responsible persons giving in.
The weekly newspaper is not only an onlooker at UBS general meetings, but also a shareholder of the big bank. For some time now, the weekly has been buying UBS shares, and now owns around 40 of them, as Boos told the news agency SDA in response to an inquiry.
