By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., May 2 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1 million of bearish high/low coupon callable yield notes due May 3, 2012 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 underlying index closes at or above 122.5% of its initial level.

Interest is payable quarterly. The coupon is 10.35% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon will be 3% per year for that and each subsequent interest period.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event has occurred, in which case the payout will be par minus the return of the better-performing underlying index, 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.
