New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $5 million review notes on Target shares, Euro Stoxx Banks

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Jan. 30 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $5 million of 0% review notes due Jan. 24, 2020 linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of Target Corp. and the Euro Stoxx Banks index as adjusted by the performance of the euro relative to the dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus an annualized call premium of 17.7% if each underlying asset closes at or above its call level, 75% of its initial level, on either of two annual review dates.

If the notes are not called, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the worst performing asset.

Although the Euro Stoxx Banks index is composed of components valued in euros, the index does not adjust its level based on a daily exchange rate of dollars per euro. However, the adjusted closing level of the index used for the notes reflects a daily exchange rate of dollars per euro. If the value of the dollar appreciates against the euro, investors could lose some or all of their investment in the notes, even if the unadjusted closing level of the index has increased during the term of the notes, the filing noted.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA are the placement agents.
