New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $260,000 high/low coupon callable notes linked to EM, Brazil funds

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., April 3 - Credit Suisse AG, London Branch priced $260,000 of high/low coupon callable yield notes due July 3, 2015 linked to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund and the iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF, 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 its knock-in level, 65% of its initial level, during the life of the notes.

Interest is payable quarterly. The coupon will be 9% per year unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon will be 1% per year for that and each subsequent quarterly interest period.

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 lowest-performing underlying component, subject to a maximum payout of par.

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

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
