Credit Suisse plans absolute return barrier notes tied to Russell, S&P

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., April 29 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch plans to price 0% absolute return barrier securities due May 28, 2021 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final level of the lowest-performing index is greater than or equal to its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 150% to 155% of the return of the lowest-performing index. The exact upside participation rate will be set at pricing.

If the final level of the lowest-performing index is less than its initial level and each index finishes above its knock-in level, which is expected to be 70% of its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the absolute value of the return of the lowest-performing index. The exact knock-in level will be set at pricing.

If either index finishes at or below its knock-in level, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest-performing index.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.

The notes will price May 25.

The Cusip number is 22548Q4V4.
