Top UBS officials step down over LTCM losses

ZURICH, Oct 2 (Reuters) - UBS AG Chairman Mathis Cabiallavetta and other top
officials at Europe's biggest bank will step down in the wake of big losses it suffered by
investing in U.S. hedge fund Long Term Capital Management, UBS said on Friday.

An internal audit into the 950 million Swiss franc charge UBS was forced to take for its
LTCM exposure showed ''shortcomings'' in UBS's risk-management procedures but no gross negligence by people
involved in the investment, it said in a statement.
