New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $22.46 million equity-linked notes tied to weighted basket

By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 15 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $22.46 million of equity-linked notes due Aug. 17, 2027 linked to an unequally weighted basket of stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes priced at 108 for $24.26 million of proceeds.

The basket consists of the stocks of Alphabet Inc. with a 30% weight, Amazon.com, Inc. with a 30% weight, Meta Platforms, Inc. with a 15% weight, JPMorgan Chase & Co. with a 12.5% weight and Walt Disney Co. with a 12.5% weight.

The notes will pay a semiannual coupon at a 0.125% annual rate.

The payout at maturity will be the basket reference value, which is the product of the final basket level multiplied by a 9.25926 conversion ratio.

In other words, the return on the securities will be 0.85734% for every 1% increase in the basket reference value beyond an 8% percentage increase in the final level.

If the basket reference value is less than $1,000, meaning the final level of the basket is less than an 8% increase in the basket reference value, investors will receive par at maturity.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
