Provisions for legal and litigation risks

There were no contingent liabilities in connection with legal and litigation risks.
Provisions for other business risks and restructuring
In the first half of 2024, provisions for other business risks and restructuring measures that were no longer required amounting to net CHF 1.9 million were released. The provisions related in particular to expenses in the previous years in connection with fee and commission business.
