New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $7.77 million 0% notes linked to buffered return enhanced indexes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, March 17 - Credit Suisse, Nassau Branch priced $7.77 million of 0% notes due Sept. 17, 2009 linked to a basket of three buffered return enhanced components, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA are the agents.

The basket consists of the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50 index with a 55% weight, the FTSE 100 index with a 25% weight and the Topix index with a 20% weight.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the basket return, which will equal the sum of the weighted returns for the basket indexes.

Each basket index return will be double any gain, up to a maximum return of 17.5% for the Euro Stoxx, 14% for the FTSE and 14% for the Topix. The maximum payout is $1,159.25 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

If a basket index falls by up to 10%, its return will be 0%. If a basket index falls by more than 10%, its return will be 0% minus 1.1111% for each 1% decline beyond 10%.
