New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $700,000 contingent coupon callable yield notes on ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 30 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $700,000 of contingent coupon callable yield notes due May 29, 2020 linked to the lesser performing of the Financial Select Sector SPDR fund and the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a quarterly contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.5% if each fund closes at or above its coupon barrier, 70% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Starting on Feb. 28, 2019, Credit Suisse may redeem the notes at par on any quarterly contingent coupon payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either fund closes below its 60% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the least-performing fund.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
