New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $3.22 million autocallable securities on S&P 500, oil & gas fund

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., May 28 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $3.22 million of 0% autocallable securities due May 28, 2019 linked to the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus an annualized redemption premium of 15.25% if each underlying component closes at or above its trigger level on any of four annual observation dates. The trigger level is 100% of the initial level.

A knock-in event occurs if the final level of either component is at or below its knock-in level, 70% of its initial level.

If the notes are not called and a knock-in event has not occurred, the payout at maturity will be par plus the contingent minimum return of 10%. If a knock-in event does occur, the payout will be par plus the return of the worst-performing component, with full exposure to losses.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
