New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1.66 million high/low callable yield notes on S&P 500, Russell 2000

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Feb. 2 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1.66 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Feb. 3, 2012 based on the performance of 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 occurs if either index falls below 72.5% of its initial level.

If a knock-in event never occurs, the coupon will be 10%. If a knock-in event occurs during any quarterly observation period, the coupon for the corresponding quarterly interest period and each subsequent quarterly interest period will be 4%. Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning Aug. 3.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either index 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.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
