UBS is set to enter talks with Michael Klein to terminate a deal that would have seen the Wall Street dealmaker take control of much of Credit Suisse’s investment bank, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
UBS on Sunday agreed to buy rival Swiss bank Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.23 billion) in stock and agreed to assume up to 5 billion francs ($5.4 billion) in losses, in a shotgun merger engineered by Swiss authorities to avoid more market-shaking turmoil in global banking.

The Swiss government had no financial advisors during the UBS/CS deal, Swiss media this morning.
… in the end the Swiss Parliament and the Antitrust authority will block the UBS-CS deal.
It‘s not over for Credit Suisse shareholders.
