New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $969,000 contingent income autocallables on three indexes

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, May 8 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $969,000 of autocallable contingent income securities due Oct. 29, 2020 linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes will pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 11.5% per year if each index closes at or above its coupon barrier level, 80% of its initial index level, on the observation date that quarter.

The notes will be automatically called at par of $1,000 plus the contingent coupon if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date other than the final one.

If each index finishes at or above its downside threshold level, 75% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the final contingent coupon, if applicable.

If any index finishes below its downside threshold level, investors will have full exposure to the losses of the least-performing index.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent, with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC handling distribution.
