Columbus, Ohio, April 9 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $855,000 of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due April 5, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 13.5% per year if each ETF closes at or above its knock-in level, 60% of its initial share price, on the observation date for that quarter.
Beginning Sept. 30, the notes will be automatically called at par if each ETF closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly observation date.
The payout at maturity will be par unless either ETF closes below its knock-in level during the life of the notes, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the lesser-performing ETF, subject to a maximum payout of par.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Incapital LLC are the agents.
