New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $741,000 11.25% contingent coupon autocalls tied to index, fund

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 16 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $741,000 of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due Sept. 5, 2019 linked to the lesser performing of the Russell 2000 index and the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production 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 11.25% if each asset closes at or above its 65% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any review date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either asset ever closes below its 65% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing index or fund.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
