CDS committee accepts to hear question on Credit Suisse AT1 bonds

Reuters

NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee (DC) accepted on Friday to look into a question on whether a “governmental intervention credit event” occurred with respect to Credit Suisse.

The DC overlooking Europe will have to determine specifics of the subordination of Credit Suisse’s additional tier-1 (AT1) bonds, according to the DC website.

As part of its takeover by UBS Group AG, the Swiss regulator decided Credit Suisse’s AT1 bonds, with a notional value of $17 billion, would be valued at zero, in a move that angered some holders of the debt.

Questions to the DC are typically raised in the process to determine whether a certain event will trigger payment of default insurance known as credit default swaps.
