By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 22 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch plans to price 0% accelerated barrier notes due June 3, 2022 linked to the Dow Jones industrial average and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final level of the lesser-performing index is greater than or equal to its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 200% to 210% of the return of that index. The exact upside participation rate will be set at pricing.

If the lesser-performing index finishes below its initial level and a knock-in event does not occur, the payout will be par. A knock-in event occurs if either index finishes at or below its knock-in level, 70% of its initial level.

If the lesser-performing index finishes below its initial level and a knock-in event occurs, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lesser-performing index.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.

The notes will price May 31.

The Cusip number is 22550B2Z5.
