New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1.25 million contingent coupon autocallable reverse converts on three stocks

By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Dec. 30 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $1.25 million of 10.8% contingent coupon autocallable reverse convertible securities due Dec. 30, 2021 linked to the least performing of the stocks of salesforce.com, inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Zions Bancorp NA, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable quarterly if each stock closes above its coupon barrier, 60% of its initial level, on the related observation date.

The notes will be called at par if the shares of the least performing stock close at or above its initial price on any quarterly observation date starting June 23, 2020.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any of the stocks finishes below its 60% knock-in level, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the least performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price or, at the issuer’s option, an amount in cash equal to the value of those shares.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
