New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $745,000 high/low coupon callable yield notes tied to metals ETFs

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, April 27 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $745,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due April 30, 2012 linked to the SPDR S&P Metals and Mining exchange-traded fund and the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event will occur if either underlying component closes at or below 75% of its initial level.

Interest is payable quarterly. The coupon will be 13.5% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon will be 4% per year for that and each subsequent quarter.

The payout at maturity will be par unless a knock-in event has occurred, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the lower-performing underlying component, up to a maximum payout of par.

The notes are callable at par on any interest payment date beginning on July 29, 2011.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
