Credit Suisse shareholders back $4.2 billion capital raise
By Steve Goldstein
Credit Suisse shareholders overwhelmingly approved a plan to raise 4 billion francs ($4.2 billion) on Wednesday.
In two votes, shareholders backed a plan for a private placement as well as a rights offering of discounted shares. The full details of the rights offer will be announced on Nov. 24.
Earlier, the bank had warned it was going to post its fifth consecutive loss in the fourth quarter, seeing a loss before tax of up to 1.5 billion francs. Lower deposits and assets under management are expected to lead to reduced net interest income and recurring commissions and fees, the bank warned.
Credit Suisse (CSGN.EB)shares fell 3% in Zurich and have dropped 58% this year.
