New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1 million 16.3% contingent coupon autocallables tied to stocks

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 8 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $1 million of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due Feb. 22, 2019 linked to the least performing of the common stocks of Ford Motor Co. and MetLife, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 16.3% if each stock closes at or above its 75% coupon barrier on the observation date for that quarter.

The notes will be called at par if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either stock finishes below its 75% knock-in level, in which case investors will be fully exposed to any losses of the worse performing stock.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA as placement agents.
