According to Reuters, Credit Suisse will be writing down CHF16 billion (USD17.24 billion) worth of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds to zero, following a directive from Swiss regulators as part of UBS's rescue package for Credit Suisse, sparking dissatisfaction among bondholders.

Swiss financial market regulator FINMA said the decision would boost the bank's capital and reflect the authorities' intention to let private investors share in Credit Suisse's problems, with FINMA chairman Marlene Amstad saying the authorities were dealing with the matter in a "too big to fail" framework.

The arrangement means that holders of the AT1 bonds will receive nothing, while Credit Suisse shareholders will still receive CHF3 billion (USD3.23 billion) from the UBS merger. Normally, AT1 bondholders should receive compensation earlier than shareholders.

Jerome Legras, research director at Axiom Alternative Investments, which holds Credit Suisse's AT1 bonds, said it was difficult to understand why the priorities of compensation for Credit Suisse shareholders and AT1 bondholders had been changed. Investors are also concerned that this case would made it difficult for other banks to raise capital by issuing AT1 bonds.
