Credit Suisse said that Bluestone will start making regular payments to the Swiss bank’s clients this month, reaching up to $260m in total.
Approximately 81% of the total payment would be allocated to the bank’s supply chain finance funds (SCF), including the Credit Suisse (Lux) Supply Chain Finance Fund and to the Credit Suisse Nova (Lux) High Income Fund.
Bluestone CEO James Justice, III also agreed that the proceeds from any sale of the Bluestone entities would be shared between the Justice family and the noteholders.
Credit Suisse Asset Management CEO Ulrich Körner said: “This is further evidence of our determination to prioritise the return of cash to investors in the SCF funds. To date, we have recovered $7.3bn of the total $10bn net asset value at the time of the funds’ suspension, and this agreement is intended to secure further recoveries for the benefit of those investors.”
