Chicago, May 3 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $1.49 million of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due Oct. 30, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 9.25% if each asset closes at or above its 50% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.
The notes will be called at par if each underlying component closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly review date beginning Oct. 25, 2018.
The payout at maturity will be par unless either asset ever closes below its 50% knock-in level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing fund.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
