SVB's UK arm issues 15M pounds in bonuses after symbolic bailout

03/19 08:49

According to Cointelegraph, Silicon Valley Bank UK (SVB UK) has granted millions of pounds in employee bonuses, just days after it was rescued by global banking giant HSBC for just 1 British pound, according to unnamed sources. In a March 18 Sky News report citing unnamed sources, it was that payouts to SVB UK staff and senior executives were signed off "earlier this week" by HSBC UK Bank – the institution which acquired SVB UK for 1 British pound ($1.22 USD) on March 13. It was "unclear" how much had been awarded to SVB UK’s CEO, Erin Platts, "or her senior colleagues," however the sources described the bonus pool as “modest,” and said that it totalled “between £15m and £20m" (approximately $18.26 million and $24.35 million USD).
