Has a Governmental Intervention Credit Event occurred with respect to Credit Suisse Group AG?
The EMEA DC has made its determination in respect of Subordinated Transactions on either the Standard European Financial Corporate Transaction Type or the Standard European CoCo Financial Corporate Transaction Type that specify Credit Suisse Group AG as the Reference Entity. The DC determined that no Governmental Intervention Credit Event has occurred in respect of such Transactions.
DC Question:
