Credit Suisse AG Announces the Exercise of its Right to Call itsREML ETNs and its Right to Accelerate its FLGE and FEUL ETNs
New York, December 10, 2021 – Credit Suisse AG (“CreditSuisse”) announced today that it has exercised its right to call its Credit Suisse X-Links^®^ Monthly Pay 2xLeveragedMortgage REIT ETNs (“REML”) and its right to accelerate, at its option, its Credit Suisse FI Large Cap Growth Enhanced ETNs(“FLGE”) and Credit Suisse FI Enhanced Europe 50 ETNs (“FEUL”). The call settlement date for REML is expectedto be December 27, 2021, and the acceleration dates for FLGE and FEUL are expected to be December 23, 2021 and December 22, 2021, respectively.As of today, Credit Suisse will no longer issue new units of these ETNs.
As described in the related pricing supplements for REML (the “REML Pricing Supplement”), FLGE (the “FLGE Pricing Supplement”) and FEUL (the “FEUL Pricing Supplement”), Credit Suisse, as the issuer of REML, FLGE and FEUL (together, the “ETNs”), may, at its option, call or accelerate, as applicable, all issued and outstanding units of the ETNs. Credit Suisse has exercised this right by delivering a notice of issuer optional call and optional acceleration via the Depository Trust Company on December 10, 2021.
The call settlement date for REML is expected to be December 27, 2021. On the call settlement date, REML investors will receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount equal to the call settlement amount. The call settlement amount will be determined on the call valuation date of December 22, 2021 in accordance with the terms set forth in the REML Pricing Supplement, and will be calculated using an average of the index closing levels during the call valuation period and will include REML’s stub reference distribution amount, if any, as of the call valuation date minus applicable fees. The five consecutive trading days beginning December 16, 2021 through December 22, 2021 will constitute the call valuation period. For more information about the call settlement amount, see “Key Terms—Call Settlement Amount” in the REML Pricing Supplement. Credit Suisse expects that NYSE Arca will allow REML to continue to trade until December 23, 2021. The REML coupon payment declared on December 2, 2021 is not affected by this announcement.
The acceleration date for FLGE is expected to be December 23, 2021. On the acceleration date, FLGE investors will receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount equal to the accelerated redemption amount for FLGE. The accelerated redemption amount will be determined on the last trading day in the accelerated valuation period for FLGE in accordance with the terms set forth in the FLGE Pricing Supplement and will be calculated using the arithmetic average of the closing indicative values of FLGE during the accelerated valuation period. The five consecutive trading days beginning December 14, 2021 through December 20, 2021 will constitute the accelerated valuation period for FLGE. For more information about the accelerated redemption amount for FLGE, see “Key Terms—Accelerated Redemption Amount” in the FLGE Pricing
