New Issue: Credit Suisse sells $493,000 high/low coupon callable notes on oil, gold funds

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 31 - Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $493,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due July 2, 2015 linked to the United States Oil Fund, LP and the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if either underlying fund closes at or below 55% of its initial level on any day during the life of the notes.

If a knock-in event never occurs, the coupon will be 12.5%. If a knock-in event occurs during any quarterly observation period, the coupon for that interest period and each subsequent interest period will be 1%. Interest is payable quarterly.

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

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case investors will receive par plus the return of the worst performing fund, up to a maximum payout of par.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the agent.
