New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $79,000 autocallable reverse convertibles on funds

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, May 6 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $79,000 of 6% autocallable reverse convertible securities due July 30, 2020 linked to the least performing of the iShares Russell 2000 ETF and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes will be called at par if the shares of the least performing stock close at or above its initial price on any quarterly trigger observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either fund finishes below its 75% knock-in level, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the least performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer’s option, an amount in cash equal to the value of those shares.
