Mr. John began his financial services career in 1996 with Merrill Lynch, spent three years with Alex. Brown/Deutsche Bank and then joined UBS in 2002.
Ms. Talkington began her career with Olde Discount Corp. in 1994, and joined UBS in 2003, following short stints at Van Kampen Funds and Bear Stearns & Co.
