New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $3.08 million high/low coupon callable notes on indexes, fund

By Marisa Wong

Madison, Wis., Nov. 16 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $3.08 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Nov. 19, 2012 linked to the S&P 500 index, 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 index or the fund falls to or below 60% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur during a quarterly observation period, the coupon will be an annualized 18.25% for that period. If a knock-in event occurs during a quarterly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent quarterly interest period will be 1%. Interest is payable quarterly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any component falls to or below its knock-in level during the life of the notes, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the worst-performing component, up to a maximum payout of par.

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

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
