New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $279,000 8% contingent coupon callables tied to S&P, biotech fund

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 15 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $279,000 of callable contingent coupon notes due Feb. 5, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the S&P 500 index and the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 8% if each underlying component closes at or above its 60% coupon barrier on the review date for that month.

The notes are callable at par on any call observation date after one year.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either component finishes below its 60% knock-in level, in which case investors will be exposed to any losses of the worse performing index or fund.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Incapital LLC are the agents.
