-- The U.S. Department of Labor granted UBS a waiver, necessary to manage U.S. retirement plans, after the Swiss lender missed a deadline to submit paperwork, Reuters first reported, citing reviewed documents.
-- The U.S. agency granted an exemption, effective from the Credit Suisse takeover in June 2023 until June 2029, allowing the bank to resume servicing U.S. pensioners, it said in a statement on Wednesday.
-- UBS said it in a letter to the U.S. agency that it deeply regrets the delayed submission of a document as part of an audit report by January 2024 which it attributed to complicated efforts to integrate Credit Suisse, Reuters reports.
-- UBS's legal counsel informed the U.S. agency in July that the bank would likely be compelled to cease its plan for asset management activities if the waiver wasn't granted, Reuters reports.
-- UBS declined to comment when requested for comment by Dow Jones Newswires.
