New Issue: Credit Suisse prices $1 million more ETNs tied to CS Long/Short index

By Jennifer Chiou

New York, June 19 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced another $1 million principal amount of 0% exchange-traded notes due April 20, 2020 linked to the Credit Suisse Long/Short Index (Net), according to two 424B2 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The add-on priced at 108.4 for proceeds of $1,084,000.

In February 2010, the company said it planned to issue up to $1 billion of the notes. So far, $33.84 million principal amount has been issued.

The index is designed to correlate to the historical performance of the Credit Suisse Tremont Long/Short Equity Hedge Fund index by tracking the performance of non-hedge-fund, transparent market measures.

The payout at maturity will be par of $20 plus the index return minus a 0.45% annualized fee factor.

The notes are putable in increments of $5 million or more on any business day, and they may be called beginning Feb. 19, 2012 if the principal amount of the notes outstanding is $10 million or less. Both options expire on Feb. 5, 2020.

The notes are listed on NYSE Arca under the symbol "CSLS."

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the underwriter.
