New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $818,000 high/low coupon callable yield notes on indexes, ETF

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 23 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $818,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due May 24, 2012 linked to the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the iShares MSCI Brazil index fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if either index or the fund falls to or below 70% of its initial level during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event does not occur, the coupon is 10%.

If a knock-in event occurs during any quarterly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent quarterly interest period is 3%.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any underlying 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 lowest-performing component, up to a maximum payout of par.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
