By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 14 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $790,000 of 15.1% autocallable reverse convertible securities due Nov. 14, 2018 linked to least performing of two stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The stocks are bluebird bio, Inc. and Lumentum Holdings Inc.

Credit Suisse will pay the coupon monthly.

The notes will be called at par if the shares of the least performing stock close at or above their initial price on a monthly observation date beginning Feb. 12, 2018.
