BASEL (Reuters) – UBS shareholders voted to re-elect Colm Kelleher as chairman at the Swiss bank’s annual general meeting on Wednesday.
Kelleher received 89.9% of votes, a sign of shareholders’ confidence in the Irishman’s ability to lead the bank as it navigates the challenge of absorbing Credit Suisse after a surprise takeover engineered by the Swiss authorities.
Shareholders also voted to re-elect the remaining members of the bank’s Board of Directors.
