New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $2.7 million 12% autocallable reverse convertibles on four stocks

By Tali Rackner

Minneapolis, Jan. 23 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $2.7 million of 9% autocallable reverse convertible securities due Jan. 22, 2020 linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of Walt Disney Co., the class B common stock of CBS Corp., the class A common stock of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. and the class B common stock of Viacom Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Interest is payable monthly.

Beginning April 18, the notes will be automatically called at par if each stock closes at or above its initial share price on any monthly trigger observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any stock finishes below its knock-in price, 55% of its initial share price, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the least-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by that stock’s initial share price or, at the issuer’s option, an amount in cash equal to the value of those shares.
