New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $11.37 million CMS curve, S&P 500-linked notes

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 29 – Credit Suisse AG priced $11.37 million of leveraged CMS curve and S&P 500 index-linked notes due Oct. 30, 2030, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The coupon is fixed at 10% for the first year. After that, it will be (a) eight times the spread of the 30-year Constant Maturity Swap rate over the two-year CMS rate multiplied by (b) the proportion of days on which the index closes at or above the index reference level, 65% of the initial level, subject to a maximum rate of 10% per year. Interest is payable monthly and cannot be less than zero.

If the index finishes at or above the 50% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par. Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to the index’s decline.

The issuer said it may increase the issue size prior to settlement but is not required to do so.

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC is the distributor.
