New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1.53 million 9.85% contingent coupon autocalls tied to funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 13 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $1.53 million of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due Aug. 28, 2020 linked to the least performing of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.85% if each fund closes at or above its 50% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each fund closes at or above its initial level on any review date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either fund finishes below its 50% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
