By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 11 – Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch sold an additional $3.68 million of Credit Suisse Silver Shares Covered Call exchange-traded notes due April 21, 2033 linked to the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Silver Flows 106 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The $5 million principal amount of additional notes priced at 73.6515, or $14.7303 per $20.00 principal amount, for $3,682,575 of proceeds.

The total issue size is now $39 million. The first $15 million of notes priced at par on April 17, 2013.

The company plans to sell up to $100 million of the notes from time to time at variable prices.

The notes offer investors access to a covered call strategy on a silver investment. They are designed to pay a variable monthly coupon.

The notes are callable in whole or in part at any time and are putable subject to a minimum of 50,000 ETNs and an early redemption charge of up to 0.125%. The notes will be automatically called if any event occurs that adversely affects the issuer's ability to hedge its obligations in connection with the ETNs including, but not limited to, if the intraday indicative value of the ETNs falls to 5% or less of the prior day's closing indicative value.

The ETNs are listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "SLVO."
