By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 2 - Credit Suisse, Nassau Branch priced $2.86 million of 8% callable yield notes due Dec. 3, 2010 based on two indexes, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying benchmarks are the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning June 3, 2010.
