New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $542,000 high/low coupon callable yield notes on oil, gold ETFs

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 22 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $542,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due July 23, 2014 linked to the United States Oil Fund, LP and the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event will occur if either fund closes at or below its knock-in level, 65% of its initial level, during the life of the notes.

Interest is payable quarterly. The coupon will be 9% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon will be 1% per year for that and each subsequent quarterly interest period.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event has occurred, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the lowest-performing underlying fund, subject to a maximum payout of par.

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

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
