New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1 million absolute return barrier notes on S&P 500

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Aug. 17 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1 million of 0% absolute return barrier notes due Feb. 23, 2015 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to a 424B2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if the index ever closes at or below the 70% barrier level during the life of the notes.

If the index finishes above its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus 1.5 times the gain, up to a maximum return of $1,262.50 for every $1,000 principal amount.

If the index falls but never dips to or below the barrier level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the absolute value of the index decline.

Otherwise, investors will be fully exposed to losses.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
