New Issue: Credit Suisse upsizes callable leveraged CMS curve, Russell 2000-linked notes to $30 million

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Feb. 26 – Credit Suisse AG priced another $23 million of fixed-to-floating callable leveraged CMS curve and Russell 2000 index-linked notes due Feb. 27, 2030, bringing the total amount to $30 million, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon will be fixed at 10% for the first year. After that, it will accrue at 8 times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate for each day that the index closes at or above the 60% barrier level, up to a maximum coupon of 10% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

If the index finishes at or above the trigger level, 50% of the initial index level, the payout at maturity will be par.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to any losses.

The notes may be called at par after one year.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as dealer.
