New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $1.32 million digital barrier notes linked to gold ETF, Russell

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., March 2 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1.32 million of 0% digital barrier notes due April 2, 2013 linked to the Russell 2000 index and the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event will occur if either underlying component closes at or below its knock-in level, 60% of its initial level, during the life of the notes.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the underlying return of the lowest-performing component.

If a knock-in event has not occurred, the underlying return of each component will be 11.5%.

If a knock-in event has occurred and the component's final level is greater than or equal to its initial level, its underlying return will be 11.5%.

If a knock-in event has occurred and the component's final level is less than its initial level but greater than or equal to its knock-in level, its underlying return will be the sum of its return plus 11.5%.

If a knock-in event has occurred and the component's final level is less than its knock-in level, its underlying return will be equal to its return.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
