Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 2 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $2.82 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Sept. 6, 2011 linked to the S&P 500 index and 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 closes at or below 70% of its initial level.

Interest is payable quarterly. The coupon will be 19% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon will be 5% per year for that and each subsequent quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event has occurred, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the lower-performing underlying, up to a maximum payout of par.

Beginning March 6, 2011, the notes are callable at par on any interest payment date.
