New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $705,000 digital barrier notes linked to S&P 500, Russell 2000

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 20 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $705,000 of 0% digital barrier notes due Jan. 22, 2013 linked to the S&P 500 index and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event will occur if either index closes at or below its knock-in level - 50% of its initial level - on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event has not occurred, the payout at maturity will be par plus 7.25%.

If a knock-in event occurs, the payout will be:

• Par plus 7.25% if the lowest-performing index's final level is greater than or equal to its initial level;

• Par plus 7.25% minus the decline of the lowest-performing index if that index's final level is less than its initial level but greater than or equal to its knock-in level; or

• Par minus the decline of the lowest-performing index if that index's final level is less than its knock-in level.
