New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $629,000 contingent coupon autocallables linked to biotech, energy ETFs

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 4 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $629,000 of contingent coupon autocallable yield notes due Sept. 30, 2021 linked to the lesser performing of the SPDR S&P Biotech exchange-traded fund and the Energy Select Sector SPDR fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each quarter, the notes pay a contingent coupon at the rate of 11% per year if each ETF closes at or above its knock-in level, 60% of its initial level, on the observation date for that quarter.

Beginning March 25, 2020, the notes will be automatically called at par if each ETF closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either ETF closes below its knock-in level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the lesser-performing ETF, subject to a maximum payout of par.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
