By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 20 - Credit Suisse AG, Nassau Branch priced $1.12 million of high/low coupon callable yield notes due Sept. 21, 2012 linked to the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining exchange-traded fund and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

A knock-in event occurs if either underlying component closes at or below 70% of its initial share price.

The coupon will be 19% unless a knock-in event occurs, in which case the coupon for that and each subsequent interest period will be 4%. Interest is payable quarterly.
