New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $1.5 million contingent coupon autocallable notes linked to five stocks

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 1 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1.5 million of contingent coupon autocallable notes due Nov. 12, 2014 linked to a basket of common stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket includes Amgen Inc., Comcast Corp., CVS Caremark Corp., Deere & Co. and Starbucks Corp.

Interest is payable quarterly and will be 12% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case there will be no interest for that quarter.

A knock-in event occurs if any stock closes below 50% of its initial share price on a quarterly observation date.

The payout at maturity will be par unless the final price of any basket stock is less than 50% of its initial price, in which case investors will receive a number of shares of the worst-performing stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial share price.

If each stock closes at or above 90% of its initial price on a quarterly observation date, the notes will be called at par.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
