Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 14 - Credit Suisse, Nassau Branch priced $30.77 million of 10% equity-linked notes due Jan. 22, 2011 linked to the common stock of Ford Motor Co., according to an FWP filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There is a $2.74 million over-allotment option.
Each note has a face amount of $11.679, which is equal to the initial strike price. The initial strike price was selected by the calculation agent and is less than the closing price of Ford stock on the pricing date, which was $11.76.
Interest is payable monthly.
If the final share price is less than 115% of the initial strike price, the payout at maturity will equal 89.957% of the final share price, subject to a minimum of $8.40 per note.
If the final share price is greater than or equal to 115% of the initial strike price and less than 134% of the initial strike price, the payout will be par.
Otherwise, the payout will be par plus 0.65% for every 1% that the final share price exceeds 134% of the initial strike price.
At its option, Credit Suisse can make the payout in cash or Ford stock.
The name of the underwriter was not disclosed in the filing.
