New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $5 million 25.25% contingent coupon callables on five tech stocks

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 7 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $5 million of contingent coupon callable yield notes due Nov. 22, 2021 linked to the least performing of the common stocks of Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Facebook, Inc., Alphabet, Inc. and Microsoft Corp., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 25.25% if each underlying stock closes at or above its 70% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes are callable at par on any call review date date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any stock closes below its 70% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worst performing stock.
