Credit Suisse Group AG Chairman Urs Rohner says he’s not afraid of being ousted from his position, after winning his controversial boardroom battle with outgoing Chief Executive Officer Tidjane Thiam, Schweiz am Wochenende reported.
“The board of directors has done what it considers best for Credit Suisse,” Rohner told the newspaper in an interview. “Personally, I am not afraid of being voted out” before his scheduled departure in 2021, he said. Asked if he had the backing of the board at this year’s annual meeting, Rohner said he has no evidence his re-election would be at risk.
