New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $8.78 million autocallable contingent income securities on pharma stocks

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 23 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $8.78 million of autocallable contingent income securities due Aug. 16, 2024 linked to the least performing of the shares of Pfizer Inc., Amgen Inc. and Biogen Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annualized rate of 12% if each stock closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 60% of the initial level, on the relevant observation date.

The notes will be called at par plus the coupon if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any quarterly call observation date after six months.

If the notes are not called and each stock finishes at or above its 60% barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final coupon. Otherwise, investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing stock from its initial level.

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