New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $4.26 million notes linked to S&P, Russell

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Sept. 2 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $4.26 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Sept. 6, 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 occurs if either index falls to or below 60% of its initial level during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur during a quarterly observation period, the coupon will be 14% annualized 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 3%. Interest is payable quarterly.

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.

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

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
