UBS to buy back pre-takeover bonds

ZURICH: In a bid to reassure investors, UBS announced on Wednesday it will buy back bail-in bonds issued shortly before taking over its rival Credit Suisse.

UBS, Switzerland's biggest bank, issued bail-in bonds on Friday, two days before taking over the country's stricken second-largest bank under strong pressure from the Swiss authorities.
