Credit Suisse eyes contingent coupon autocallable reverse convertibles on stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., April 15 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch plans to price contingent coupon autocallable reverse convertible securities due Oct. 21, 2020 linked to the worst performing of the common stocks of Baker Hughes, Fifth Third Bancorp and Capital One Financial 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 11.14% if each stock closes at or above its expected 60% coupon barrier level on an observation date for that period. The exact coupon and coupon barrier level will be set at pricing.

The notes will be automatically called at par plus the coupon if each stock closes at or above its respective initial level on any quarterly trigger observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the worst performing stock finishes below its expected 60% knock-in level, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the worst performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer’s option, an amount in cash equal to the value of those shares. The exact knock-in level will be set at pricing.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.

The notes (Cusip: 22549JL32) will price on April 16.
