Recovery of Losses if You Bought Wirecard Bonds

Shares of German payment processor company Wirecard recently crashed when it became known that nearly $2 billion in cash on its balance sheet allegedly does not exist. Then, Wirecard’s CEO was arrested.

Recently, it has come to light that Credit Suisse allegedly sold about $1 billion in convertible bonds from Wirecard after entering into a strategic partnership with it in September 2019, according to reports.

Those bonds now trade for 12% of face value. Investors in the bonds have suffered huge losses, but allegedly Credit Suisse has limited exposure.

Credit Suisse made the convertible-bond sales allegedly around the same time accounting misconduct claims were being leveled at Wirecard. The bond sales may have helped Wirecard survive longer, as it brought in a last infusion of cash before the company became undone.

It’s also alleged that Credit Suisse aimed to structure a transaction that would transfer Wildcard’s credit risks to third-party investors. Credit Suisse ran the deal through a Dutch company it operates, Argentum Netherlands BV. The Argentum bonds then were sold to investors.
