UBS Announces Assumption of Three Outstanding Credit Suisse ETNs; Rebranding as “ETRACS”
01 June 2024 - 6:30AM
Business Wire
UBS Group AG announced on May 31, 2024, that it has completed
the merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG (the “Parent Bank
Merger” or “PBM”). At the effective time of the PBM,
Credit Suisse AG was deregistered in the Commercial Register of the
Canton of Zurich and has ceased to exist as a separate entity. With
the PBM, UBS AG has succeeded to all the rights and obligations of
Credit Suisse AG, including under the three outstanding series of
Exchange Traded Notes previously issued by Credit Suisse AG listed
below (collectively, the “ETNs”). In connection with the PBM
and the assumption of Credit Suisse AG’s obligations under such
ETNs, UBS AG rebranded each of the ETNs, which were formerly issued
under the “X-Links®” brand, as “ETRACS.” Following the PBM, each of
the ETNs will remain traded on NASDAQ under the same ticker symbol,
will have the same CUSIP identifiers, and the terms and conditions
applicable to each of the ETNs will remain the same.
