By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 27 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $774,000 of callable yield notes due June 28, 2011 linked to the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining exchange-traded fund and the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The six-month notes carry an annualized coupon of 9%. Interest is payable on Feb. 28, April 28 and at maturity.
