New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $325,000 contingent market-linked autocalls on ETFs

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, April 16 – Credit Suisse AG priced $325,000 of market-linked securities due March 29, 2022 – autocallable with contingent coupon and contingent downside linked to the least performing of the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR fund, the SPDR S&P Bank ETF and the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent monthly coupon at an annual rate of 9% if each ETF closes at or above its 65% coupon threshold on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be called at par if each ETF closes at or above its initial level on any monthly observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any ETF finishes below its 65% downside threshold, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the worst performing ETF with full exposure to any losses.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC is the agent.
