New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $163,000 high/low coupon callable yield notes on S&P 500, Russell

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 23 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $163,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Nov. 28, 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 component falls to or below 65% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur during a monthly observation period, the coupon will be an annualized 10% for that period. If a knock-in event occurs during a monthly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent monthly interest period will be 1%. Interest is payable monthly.

The payout at maturity will be par unless either component 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 worse-performing component, up to a maximum payout of par.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning on Feb. 28, 2012.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
