New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1 million contingent coupon autocallables on ETFs

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., April 18 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch, priced $1 million of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due April 18, 2018 linked to the worst performing of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production exchange-traded fund and the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 10.5% if each ETF closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either ETF finishes below its 65% knock-in level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing ETF.

The notes will be called at par if both ETFs close at or above their respective initial levels on any of the three quarterly trigger observation dates.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
