By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 22 – Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $2.3 million of 0% accelerated barrier notes due May 25, 2017 linked to the United States Oil Fund, LP and the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the final share price of the least-performing ETF is greater than or equal to its initial share price, the payout at maturity will be par plus 150% of the return of that ETF.

If the least-performing ETF finishes below its initial share price and a knock-in event does not occur, the payout will be par. A knock-in event occurs if either ETF finishes at or below its knock-in share price, 60% of its initial share price.
