Only the ETNs listed in the table above are affected by this announcement. For purposes of this announcement, the VelocitySharesTM 3x Long Natural Gas ETNs linked to the S&P GSCI® Natural Gas Index ER due February 9, 2032 and the VelocitySharesTM 3x Inverse Natural Gas ETNs linked to the S&P GSCI® Natural Gas Index ER due February 9, 2032, which are both listed on the NYSE Arca, shall be referred to as the "NYSE ETNs". The remainder of the ETNs listed in the table above, which are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, shall be referred to as the "Nasdaq ETNs".
As part of its continuing effort to monitor and manage its suite of exchange traded notes, Credit Suisse AG has decided to delist the foregoing ETNs with a view to better align its product suite with its broader strategic growth plans. Accordingly, Credit Suisse AG anticipates that (x) the NYSE ETNs will continue to trade on NYSE Arca up to and including July 10, 2020 and (y) the Nasdaq ETNs will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market up to and including July 2, 2020. The delisting of the ETNs will become effective on July 12, 2020. In addition, Credit Suisse AG will suspend further issuances of the NYSE ETNs effective June 22, 2020, and will suspend further issuances of the Nasdaq ETNs effective July 3, 2020.
Following their delisting, the ETNs will remain outstanding, though they will no longer trade on any national securities exchange. The ETNs may trade, if at all, on an over-the-counter basis. Although it is not currently accelerating the ETNs at its option, Credit Suisse AG continues to have the right to do so, as described in the pricing supplement for the ETNs (the "Pricing Supplement"), and may choose to accelerate the ETNs at its option in the future, either together on the same date or each on a separate date, including shortly after the delisting. Subject to the minimum redemption amount and other conditions, investors can continue to exercise their early redemption right with respect to the ETNs prior to, and following, the ETNs' delisting, pursuant to the terms of the ETNs as described in the Pricing Supplement. If investors wish to exercise their early redemption right, they and their broker must follow the procedures set forth in the Pricing Supplement, which can be accessed on the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov as follows:
