Why it may matter for CDS

CDSBench interpretation

Successor tests look at the share of Relevant Obligations each entity assumes. The outcome decides whether contracts follow one entity, split, or stay with the original name.

CDSBench’s reading, not part of the source and not a statement that a Credit Event has occurred. General information, not legal or investment advice.

What is established

  • Two of four bond series moved to the new company.
  • The demerger completed on 18 August.
