It is particularly satisfying to note that 2006 was also the year in which we reported our best ever financial result, confirming the success of our efforts to realign the business over the last three years. Our 150 years of banking experience have provided us with a strong foundation that allows us to constantly look ahead and anticipate the needs of our clients in a rapidly changing environment. It was this experience that enabled us to quickly adapt to the impact of globalization on our industry and to devise an appropriate response in the form of our integrated global banking model that mirrors the increasingly integrated global marketplace in which we operate. As a result, we began repositioning our business and – as one of the most highly integrated banks Walter B. Kielholz worldwide – now have the necessary structure, flexibility and resources to satisfy Chairman of the Board of Directors our clients’ demands for holistic solutions and global execution capabilities. Credit Suisse Group Our efforts to create an integrated global bank in 2006 included the sale of our insurance business, Winterthur, to AXA S.A. for cash consideration of CHF 12.3 billion. This key strategic step provided us with the best opportunity to deliver the full value of Winterthur to our shareholders in a single transaction, while providing an opportunity for the future growth of the business within a leading global insurance company. The creation of an integrated bank and the sale of Winterthur mean that we now have a very clear strategic focus and can concentrate our capital and resources on our banking business and the global expansion of Credit Suisse. We already have a leading presence in Europe and North America, as well as in rapidly developing emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, China, Russia and the Middle East. Going forward, we will continue to leverage our position in our existing markets and will target new high-growth regions throughout the world. Our integrated banking model not only provides us with a platform for growth, it also enables us to generate significant operating efficiencies, increase the scale of our business and generate the necessary cash flow and capital to fund our ambitious growth plans. The strongest capital base in our history Credit Suisse today has the strongest capital base in its history. At the Annual General Meeting on May 4, 2007, the Board of Directors will propose a further share buyback program of up to CHF 8 billion over three years.
