New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $500,000 high/low coupon callable notes tied to Russell, oil fund

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., Feb. 4 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $500,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Aug. 13, 2014 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the United States Oil Fund, LP, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if either underlying component falls to or below 55% of its initial level during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event never occurs, the coupon will be 9.25%. If a knock-in event occurs during any quarterly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent interest period is expected to be 1%. Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the worst-performing component, up to a maximum payout of par.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
