UBS CEO Shortlists Credit Suisse Executives for Management Team

According to the Financial Times, UBS Group AG’s CEO Sergio Ermotti has shortlisted Credit Suisse Group AG’s executives who are most likely to become part of the management team. The report cites sources familiar with the plans and states that Dixit Joshi, chief financial officer, Francesca McDonagh, chief operating officer, and André Helfenstein, head of the Swiss business, are most likely to remain a part of the Swiss bank’s executive team. Credit Suisse declined to comment on the report, and UBS did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment.

UBS to Close Merger with Credit Suisse by End of May or Early June

Earlier this week, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti said that the bank is working on closing its merger with Credit Suisse by the end of May or early June. In March, UBS agreed to take over its rival for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.37 billion), assuming up to 5 billion in losses as part of a deal hastily arranged by Swiss authorities. The bank is also reviewing options for Credit Suisse’s Swiss unit, including keeping the unit’s investment banking operations while selling the rest, potentially in an initial public offering, Reuters reported earlier this week.
