  • Credit Suisse Group AG (NYSE:CS) will pay $495 million as a final settlement with the New Jersey Attorney General (NJAG) related to its Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) business, with transactions dating back to before 2008.
  • The Attorney General alleged over $3 billion in damages in a litigation case filed in 2013.  
  • Credit Suisse recently approached investors for the fourth time in around seven years to raise fresh capital.
  • The attorney general's office alleged that Credit Suisse had "misled investors and engaged in fraud or deceit in connection with the offer and sale of RMBS," Reuters reported.
  • "Credit Suisse is pleased to have reached an agreement that allows the bank to resolve the only remaining RMBS matter involving claims by a regulator and the largest of its remaining exposures on its legacy RMBS docket," the bank said in a statement.
  • "The settlement, for which Credit Suisse is fully provisioned, marks another important step in the bank's efforts to pro-actively resolve litigation and legacy issues."
  • Last month, Credit Suisse announced its plans to cut around 5,000 jobs as part of a cost reduction drive.
  • The battered Swiss bank is also weighing splitting its struggling investment bank business into three parts.
  • Price Action: CS shares are up 2.96% at $4.52 during the premarket session on the last check Monday.
