Greece's Piraeus Bank tops minimum recap target in rights issue
Greece's Piraeus Bank will raise more than 19.5 percent of the funds it needs to plug a 7.33 billion euro capital hole from private investors in a rights offering that ends later on Tuesday, a senior bank official told Reuters.
Piraeus is the third major Greek lender, after Alpha and National Bank, to raise at least 10 percent of its common equity issue from private investors, a requirement under a recapitalization program forbanks to stay privately run.
"Private sector take-up willbe more than 19.5 percent,near 20 percent," said a senior banker at Piraeus who declined to be named. Meeting the minimum threshold meansPiraeus will not need to resort to issuing costly contingent convertible bonds, or CoCos.

UBS AG will surrender its Indian banking license and close its banking unit, covering fixed income, forex operations and credit services,
(Reuters) - Swiss bank UBSAG will surrender its Indian banking license and close its banking unit, covering fixed income, forex operations and creditservices, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Saturday.
However, UBS will continue its corporate client service business, which includes mergers and acquisitions, equities and debt capital market services, said the source, who declined to be identified as the information was not yet public.
"That doesn't mean that we are closing down our India operations. We will be closing a very small business unit, to focus on our key strength," said thesource. "It's part of our global strategy."
A UBS spokesman declined to comment.
UBS has a full-fledged banking license in India with a single branch in Mumbai and was focusing on the wealth management business, covering foreign exchange, fixed income and credit services.
Indian newspapers reported on Saturday that UBS would surrender its banking license.
Earlier this year, Morgan Stanley sold its private wealth management business to Standard Chartered, in a sign of growing consolidation of Asia's wealth management industry, which is struggling with rising regulatory costs and wafer-thin advisory fees..
