New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $59.8 million equity-linked notes tied to Merck

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 18 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $59.8 million of 0% equity-linked notes due Sept. 24, 2027 linked to the common stock of Merck & Co., Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The payout at maturity will be the reference value, which is the product of the final level multiplied by a 8.15648 conversion ratio. In other words, the return on the securities will be less than 1% for every 1% increase in the underlying stock beyond a 43.5% percentage increase in the final level of the stock.

If the reference value is less than $1,000, meaning the final level of the stock is less than a 43.5% increase in the stock price, investors will receive par at maturity.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
