Credit Suisse Takeover: As the Credit Suisse takeover deal hits the delay, the UBS Group AG on Wednesday announced that they will be replacing Ralph Hamers as its CEO. The Investment banking company named Sergio Ermotti to replace the former chief just before the Credit Suisse acquisition deal.
Sergio Ermotti, the veteran banker has served UBS as CEO for straight nine years. He stepped down from his position in 2020. However, Ralph Hamer, now former CEO will remain as an advisor till the transition period.
This development comes in when the reports of Swiss bank rivals are looking to capitalise on the turmoil. Reports suggest that the rivals are trying to poach clients and bankers of the collapsed bank. Weeks ago UBS accepted to acquire Credit Suisse in a $3.25 billion rescue deal.

UBS reportedly stated that as new challenges and priorities are emerging since the declaration of the Credit Suisse takeover, Ermotti’s prior experience would help them to restructure the bank. Sergio Ermotti is ideal to pursue the integration of Credit Suisse as he holds a deep understanding of the financial services industry globally, it added.
