Structured Product issuance and distribution rules have recently been changed in Switzerland under the CISA and CISO.  Most interesting is the requirement that a "simplified prospectus" be delivered to non-qualified purchasers.

Here's a quote from the Froriep Renggli briefing (FR):

 Subject to certain exceptions, under the existing and new legal regime, a simplified prospectus has to be made available to the investor at the time of issuance of the structured products. The revised CISA additionally provides that also a preliminary simplified  prospectus has to be made available to the investor prior to the subscription of the structured products.
