Swiss cut up to $66M in bonuses for top Credit Suisse execs

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:22 GMT

GENEVA (AP) — The Swiss government says it’s ordered cuts to the bonuses of top executives of Credit Suisse, with nearly 1,000 managers being “deprived” of tens of millions combined as the troubled bank heads toward a forced merger with rival UBS.The Federal Council, a seven-member panel that runs Switzerland’s executive branch, announced Wednesday that it has instructed the Finance Department to cancel altogether or reduce by either one-half or one-quarter such bonuses due last year among the top three rungs of management. That will amount to a loss of bonus pay totaling about 50 million to 60 million Swiss francs ($55 million to $66 million).The move comes after Swiss authorities scrambled in mid-March to cobble together a 3 billion Swiss franc ($3.25 billion) sale to UBS of Credit Suisse, which suffered surging outflows of deposits and a plunge in its share price. Two days after the deal was announced, the government said it was temporarily suspending bonus payouts to...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O’Neill was not in the starting lineup Wednesday, a day after his baserunning effort was questioned by manager Oliver Marmol.

Marmol took issue with O’Neill’s turn around third as he attempted to score from second on a Brendan Donovan pinch-hit liner to right.Marmol, who declined to specify whether starting Dylan Carlson in center field rather than O’Neill was tied directly to Tuesday’s play, doubled down on his criticism before Wednesday’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves.“There’s going to be a style of play that we are known for,” Marmol said. “And it’s going to involve effort. And it’s gonna involve being relentless. It’s gonna involve being smart. And we’re going to keep guys to that. Because that’s how you sustain being g...
