Explanation Of UBS Credit Suisse Deal

Before Zurich-based rival UBS, which has been around for 167 years, rode to the rescue with a merger orchestrated and funded by the Swiss authorities last month, the 167-year-old Credit Suisse Bank was on the verge of bankruptcy. A little portion of Credit Suisse’s previous market value, 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.3 billion), was agreed upon by UBS and Credit Suisse. According to rumours, in an effort to keep Credit Suisse Group AG’s customers and workers, the Swiss government and UBS Group AG have been rushing to complete the acquisition of the institution in as little as one month. The European Union’s antitrust inspectors granted UBS a temporary permit earlier this month, but the company must still apply for clearance under EU merger regulations. According to persons acquainted with the procedure, the Bank of England has given its approval for the takeover in the UK. According to UBS, the merger will result in the creation of a company with total invested assets exceeding $5 trillion. Holders of Credit Suisse AT1 bonds will earn nothing under the Credit Suisse UBS merger agreement, while shareholders—who typically rank below bondholders in terms of compensation—would receive $3.23 billion.
