Under the new deal, announced on Wednesday, Apollo will purchase from UBS $8 billion of “senior secured financing facilities” as part of the Swiss bank’s efforts to wind down its non-core legacy portfolio. UBS acquired Credit Suisse in 2023.
UBS has combined all areas that are to be divested in the course of the Credit Suisse integration and restructuring in a unit called LCL (Non-Core and Legacy). A large part of the former Credit Suisse investment banking business is to be wound up.
The transaction is expected to result in a net gain of around $300 million for UBS in the first quarter of 2024 and a net loss of around $900 million for Credit Suisse AG over the same period.
Commenting on the transaction, UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti declared: “This another example of our relentless focus on working with clients and counterparties to free up capital from non-core activities and reducing costs and complexity.”
