An investment in the securities involve significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlyings. The risk considerations set forth below are only intended as summaries of some of the risks relating to an investment in the securities. Prior to investing in the securities, you should, in particular, review the “Selected Risk Considerations” section in the relevant Preliminary Pricing Supplement and the “Risk Factors” section in the relevant Product Supplement, if applicable, which set forth risks related to an investment in the securities.

 

·You may receive less than the principal amount at maturity, and depending on the terms of your investment, your investment may result in a loss of up to 100% of the principal amount.

 

·The value of the securities and the payment of any amount due on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse.

 

·Depending on the terms of your investment, the securities may not provide for regular fixed interest payments.

·Depending on the terms of your investment, your investment may be subject to a cap, in which case, you may not benefit from the full appreciation of the underlying(s).

 

·If the securities are subject to a potential early redemption, your opportunity to be paid interest, if applicable, over the full term of the securities might be limited.

 

·If the payment on the securities is based on the performance of the lowest performing underlying, you will not benefit from the performance of any other underlying.

 

·If the payment on the securities is based on the performance of the lowest performing underlying, the securities are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the level of the underlyings to the same degree for each underlying.

 

·If the securities are linked to a reference share or a reference fund, anti-dilution protection is limited.

 

·Prior to maturity, costs such as concessions and hedging may affect the value of the securities.

 

·Credit Suisse currently estimates that the value of the securities on the trade date will be less than the price you pay for the securities, reflecting the deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs of creating and marketing the securities.

 

·The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Many factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Issuer, will influence the value of the securities and the price at which the securities may be purchased or sold in the secondary market.

 

·We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and as agent of the Issuer of the securities, hedging our obligations under the securities and determining the estimated value of the securities. The agent for this offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”), is our affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, CSSU may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer.

 

·The securities will be affected by a number of economic, financial, political, regulatory, and judicial factors that may either offset or magnify each other.

 

·As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the equity securities comprising the underlyings.
