New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $21 million more exchange-traded notes on Cushing 30 MLP index

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, May 7 - Credit Suisse, Nassau Branch priced a total of $21 million further 0% exchange-traded notes due April 20, 2020 linked to the Cushing 30 MLP index, according to various 424B2 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A $7 million tranche of the notes priced at 99.95, $6 million priced at 99.3, $5 million priced at 100.75 and another $3 million priced at 100.15. The aggregate offering prices were $6,996,500, $5,958,000, $5,037,500 and $3,004,500, respectively.

The goal of the index is to track the performance of 30 companies, which hold mid-stream energy infrastructure assets in North America. Included securities must be publicly traded and must represent the limited or general partner interests of a partnership that is in an operating company.

The notes may pay a distribution on quarterly payment dates determined according to any cash distributions of the MLPs in the index. The distribution will be equal to the number of units of the MLP represented in the index times a multiplier of 0.070691.

The payout at maturity will be par of $20 plus the index return minus the 0.85% annualized fee factor on the final valuation date.

The notes are putable in increments of $2 million or more on any business day, and they may be called beginning April 20, 2012 if, at any time on or after that date, the principal amount of the notes outstanding is $10 million or less. Both options expire on April 7, 2020.

At inception on April 13, the company priced $15 million of the ETNs in what it previously announced would be an overall $1 billion issue. Thus far, $36 million of the notes has been issued.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
