Credit Suisse launched a lawsuit against the blog, widely read in Swiss finance circles, in December over user comments left under posts.

It is the second Credit Suisse case that UBS has resolved since taking over its former rival and inheriting its legal battles.

Last month, UBS was ordered to pay $388 million to British and U.S. regulators over Credit Suisse's dealings with private investment firm Archegos Capital Management.
