Credit Suisse Chairman Urs Rohner does not expect to be voted out of office before his term ends after this week's departure of Chief Executive Tidjane Thiam over a spying scandal.
"I am not afraid of being voted out of office," Rohner was quoted as saying by newspaper Schweiz am Wochenende on Saturday, adding that the supervisory board had acted unanimously in deciding with Thiam that he should step down.Rohner also said he had received"clear responses" from shareholders supporting the decision.
But the move also runs the risk of irking international shareholders who had backed Thiam, not Rohner. Credit Suisse and Thiam, CEO for almost five years, say he was not aware it was spying on former executives including wealth manager Iqbal Khan, who defected to rival UBS . "You can never be certain. But I have no indication that my re-election could be in danger," Rohner said.
