New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $1.61 million 11.5% callable yield notes tied to three benchmarks

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 2 - Credit Suisse, Nassau Branch priced $1.61 million of 11.5% callable yield notes due Dec. 3, 2010 based on two indexes and a fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The underlying benchmarks are the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund.

Interest is payable quarterly.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning June 3, 2010.

If the notes are not called, the payout at maturity will be par unless any of the underlying components falls to or below its knock-in level - 70% of its initial 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.
