Following completion of the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse AG’s business was transferred to UBS AG, and Credit Suisse AG ceased to exist. At this time however, the two entities did not operationally merge and, as a result, we continue to have two sets of operational infrastructure and processes during this transitionary period.

Consequently UBS AG is now the sole parent entity and all direct subsidiaries of Credit Suisse AG have become direct subsidiaries of UBS AG, and all branches of Credit Suisse AG have been absorbed into existing or established as new branches of UBS AG (as the case may be). As such, Credit Suisse AG’s branches have been renamed as UBS Branches, with the exceptions of Credit Suisse AG, Taipei Securities Branch and Credit Suisse AG Shanghai Branch.

FMSB Risk Management Transactions

CSSEL, CSI and/or CS London branch [CS] may execute transactions in connection with issuance of new bond transactions with an issuer that are intended to manage risks such as interest rate or FX risks that the bond issue may create for the issuer.

Such transactions may be interest rate or cross- currency swaps to hedge the risks associated with the bond or they may be transactions in other derivative instruments executed ahead of the bond being announced that are intended to lock in reference rates ahead of a future bond issue. Risk management transactions may also be undertaken by CS to hedge risks associated with underwriting commitments and also by investors, at the point of any allocations, to hedge risks associated with an investment in a new bond.

Such risk management transactions may be executed at different times before, during and after the pricing of a new bond issue and the size and timing of such transactions may have an impact on the reference rate associated with a bond issue.

CS will have regard to the potential impact its trading may have on the reference rate and has policies and procedures that are concerned with those risks. Any trade has to have a legitimate purpose and cannot be intended to have an impact on the reference rate. Factors to consider in relation to risk management transactions that may be executed include:

  • the timing of any transaction,
  • the size of any transaction and how any execution may be structured,
  • the rationale for any transaction,
  • who information about a potential transaction is shared with.
