New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $682,833 more X-Links Long/Short Equity ETNs

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 20 – Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced another $682,833 of 0% exchange-traded notes due Feb. 19, 2020 linked to the Credit Suisse Long/Short Liquid Index (Net), according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $500,000 principal amount of additional notes priced at 136.5665 for proceeds of $682,833.

In February 2010, the company said it planned to issue up to $1 billion of the notes. In May 2015, the issuer changed the name of the securities to Credit Suisse X-Links Long/Short Equity ETNs due Feb. 19, 2020. Previously, they were ETNs due April 20, 2020 linked to the Credit Suisse Long/Short Index (Net).

The index is designed to correlate to the historical performance of the Credit Suisse Tremont Long/Short Equity Hedge Fund index by tracking the performance of non-hedge-fund, transparent market measures.

The payout at maturity will be par of $20 plus the index return minus a 0.45% annualized fee factor.

The notes are putable in increments of $5 million or more on any business day, and they may be called beginning Feb. 19, 2012 if the principal amount of the notes outstanding is $10 million or less. Both options expire on Feb. 5, 2020.

The notes are listed on NYSE Arca under the symbol “CSLS.”

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
