By Toni Weeks

San Diego, June 30 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $5 million of 0% buffered return enhanced notes due July 5, 2013 linked to a basket of four currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying currencies are the euro, the dollar, the British pound sterling and the Japanese yen.

Of the basket components, the currency with the greatest return will have a 40% weight, the currency with the second greatest return will have a 30% weight, the currency with the third greatest return will have a 20% weight and the currency with the fourth greatest return will have a 10% weight.

If the basket return is greater than or equal to zero, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.3 times the basket return.
