TORONTO, June 23 /CNW/ - The UBS (Unique Broadband Systems, Inc.) Concerned Shareholders ("Concerned Shareholders") are pleased to report that YELLOW proxies continue to be voted as shareholders support an alternative to the current Board and management. Momentum is building as fellow shareholders react in shock and disbelief as they learn about what has transpired.

"From the well-attended Town Hall Meeting last week, to firsthand conversations we've had with fellow shareholders, to the YELLOW proxies that are streaming in, I am optimistic that we are going to get this done and bring much needed change to UBS. It is clear that shareholders have had enough," said Robert Ulicki, President, Clareste Wealth Management Inc., speaking on behalf of the UBS Concerned Shareholders. "UBS' failure to respond to any of the serious governance issues highlighted in the Concerned Shareholders' information circular and on www.saveubs.com speaks volumes. Fellow shareholders can only conclude that there is no reasonable defense to what has transpired and that the incumbent management team is hoping shareholders fail to vote every last YELLOW proxy."

Now is the time for ALL shareholders to vote their YELLOW proxy as every vote counts. Make sure your proxy is received prior to the June 29, 2010, 5 p.m. (Toronto Time) deadline. Go to www.saveubs.com or call 1-866-879-7650 for more information or if you need assistance in voting your shares.

Town Hall Meeting A Success

The UBS Concerned Shareholders hosted a Town Hall Meeting on Thursday, June 17, 2010. Fellow shareholders, filling the room in person with many more participating by phone, met the Concerned Shareholders' director nominees and participated in a lively question and answer session. The passionate displeasure of participants with the incumbent Board and Management Team was evident and the Concerned Shareholders' director nominees appreciated the rousing ovation they received at the end of the session. For a summary of what transpired at the Town Hall Meeting, please go to www.saveubs.com.

About The UBS Concerned Shareholders

The UBS Concerned Shareholders are a group of investors, mostly individuals, who came together in response to the publicity that has occurred surrounding the extraordinary $22.7 million of executive and director compensation awarded in 2009 at UBS and LOOK in the face of dismal performance and plummeting share values.

Robert Ulicki, Grant McCutcheon and Henry Eaton are the UBS Concerned Shareholders' Director Nominees. These individuals would bring integrity, experience, and an Action Plan formulated to benefit shareholders to the Board. More information on each of the Concerned Shareholders' Director Nominees and the Action Plan is contained in the Information Circular dated June 3, 2010.
