London High Court Dismisses Credit Suisse’s $440 Million Claim Against SoftBank Over Greensill Losses

The judge found SoftBank acted in good faith, lacking knowledge of any plan to disadvantage Credit Suisse.

Overview

  • Lord Justice Robert Miles dismissed the case, writing that SoftBank did not know or suspect the transactions were intended to prejudice Credit Suisse.
  • The dispute focused on a restructuring tied to Katerra in which Credit Suisse alleged Greensill swapped debt claims for shares benefiting a SoftBank entity.
  • The court found SoftBank acted to protect its commercial interests and did not orchestrate improper transactions or impose terms on Greensill.
  • SoftBank said the ruling fully vindicates the company and called the allegations a baseless attempt to redirect blame.
  • UBS, which represents the CS Fund after rescuing Credit Suisse, said it is reviewing the judgment and assessing next steps as broader Greensill recovery efforts continue.
