New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $587,000 absolute return barrier notes tied to S&P 500, Russell

By Toni Weeks

San Diego, June 21 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch plans to price 0% absolute return barrier securities due June 24, 2014 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 below its knock-in level, 60% of its initial level, on any day during the life of the notes.

If the final level of the lower-performing index is greater than or equal to its initial level, the payout at maturity will be par plus the return of the lower-performing index, subject to a maximum return of 30%.

If the final level of the lower-performing index is less than its initial level and a knock-in event has not occurred, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the lower-performing index's return.

If the final level of the lower-performing index is less than its initial level and a knock-in event has occurred, investors will be fully exposed to the decline of the lower-performing index.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
