Credit Suisse plans leveraged buffered notes linked to index basket

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 23 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch plans to price 25- to 28-month 0% leveraged buffered notes linked to a basket of indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 37% weight, FTSE 100 index with a 23% weight, Topix index with a 23% weight, Swiss Market index with a 9% weight and S&P/ASX 200 index with an 8% weight.

If the basket return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.4 times the basket return, subject to a maximum settlement amount of $1,259 to $1,301 per $1,000 principal amount. The exact maximum payment will be set at pricing.

Investors will receive par if the basket declines by up to 15% and will lose 1.17647% for each 1% decline in the basket beyond the 15% buffer.

The notes (Cusip: 22546VAY2) are expected to price April 24.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
