Redemption Amount:

If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, you will be entitled to receive a Redemption Amount in cash at maturity that will equal the principal amount of the securities you hold multiplied by the sum of 1 plus the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying, calculated as set forth below. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Underlying Return:

For each Underlying, the Underlying Return is expressed as a percentage and is calculated as follows:

	•	If a Knock-In Event does not occur, the Underlying Return for such Underlying will equal zero.
	•	If a Knock-In Event occurs, the Underlying Return for such Underlying will equal:

Final Level – Initial Level

Initial Level

	If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and a Knock-In Event occurs, the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying will be negative and you will receive less than the principal amount of your securities at maturity. You could lose your entire investment.
Lowest Performing Underlying:	The Underlying with the lowest Underlying Return.
Knock-In Event:	A Knock-In Event occurs if the Final Level of either Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level.
Knock-In Level:	For each Underlying, expected to be 70% of its Initial Level (to be determined on the Trade Date).
Initial Level:*	For each Underlying, the closing level of such Underlying on the Trade Date.
Final Level:	For each Underlying, the closing level of such Underlying on the Valuation Date.
Valuation Date:†	Expected to be approximately 3 years from the Trade Date (to be determined on the Trade Date).
Maturity Date:†	Expected to be approximately three business days following the Valuation Date (to be determined on the Trade Date).
Listing:	The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.
CUSIP:	22547Q3G9

* In the event that the closing level for either Underlying is not available on the Trade Date, the Initial Level for such Underlying will be determined on the immediately following trading day on which a closing level is available.

† Each Review Date, including the Valuation Date, is subject to postponement in respect of either Underlying if such date is not an underlying business day for such Underlying or as a result of a market disruption event in respect of such Underlying, and each Payment Date, including the Maturity Date, is subject to postponement if such date is not a business day or if the corresponding Review Date, including the Valuation Date, is postponed for either Underlying, in each case as described in the accompanying product supplement under “Description of the Securities—Market disruption events” and under “Market Disruption Events” herein, as applicable.

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 1053092. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Credit Suisse.

This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed above, contains the terms of the securities and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, fact sheets, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement, as the securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. You should consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before deciding to invest in the securities.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts

The table and examples below illustrate hypothetical payments upon Automatic Redemption and Redemption Amounts payable at maturity, as applicable, on a $1,000 investment in the securities for a range of scenarios. The tables and examples assume that (i) for each Underlying, the Trigger Level is 100% of the Initial Level of such Underlying, (ii) the Automatic Redemption Premiums applicable to the first, second and third Review Dates are $130.00, $260.00 and $390.00, respectively, and (iii) the Knock-In Level for each Underlying is 70% of the Initial Level of such Underlying. The actual Trigger Levels, Automatic Redemption Premiums and Knock-In Levels will be determined on the Trade Date. The examples are intended to illustrate hypothetical calculations of only the payment upon Automatic Redemption and the Redemption Amount payable at maturity, as applicable, and are provided for illustration purposes only. The actual payment upon Automatic Redemption or the Redemption Amount payable at maturity, as applicable, that a purchaser of the securities will be entitled to receive will depend on several variables, including, but not limited to (a) whether the closing levels of both Underlyings are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels on any Review Date, (b) the Final Level of each Underlying determined on the Valuation Date and (c) whether a Knock-In Event occurs. It is not possible to predict whether a Trigger Event or a Knock-In Event will occur, and in the event that the securities are not automatically redeemed and there is a Knock-In Event, by how much the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying will have decreased in comparison to its Initial Level. You should consider carefully whether the securities are suitable to your investment goals. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. The numbers appearing in the following table and the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

TABLE 1: The securities are not automatically redeemed.

Principal Amount of Securities	Percentage Change from the Initial Level to the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying	Redemption Amount per $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities
$1,000	−0.01%	$1,000
$1,000	−10%	$1,000
$1,000	−15%	$1,000
$1,000	−20%	$1,000
$1,000	−30%	$1,000
$1,000	−30.01%	$699.90
$1,000	−40%	$600
$1,000	−50%	$500
$1,000	−60%	$400
$1,000	−70%	$300
$1,000	−80%	$200
$1,000	−90%	$100
$1,000	−100%	$0

Example 1: The closing levels of both Underlyings on the first Review Date are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels.

Underlying	Closing Level of each Underlying on the first Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the second Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the third Review Date / Final Level
SX5E	110% of Initial Level	N/A	N/A
EEM	100% of Initial Level	N/A	N/A

Since the closing levels of both Underlyings are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels on the first Review Date, the securities are automatically redeemed.

Therefore, the cash payment per $1,000 principal amount of securities is equal to $1,000 plus the Automatic Redemption Premium applicable to the first Review Date:

= $1,000 + $130.00 = $1,130.00

Example 2: The securities are not automatically redeemed on the first Review Date and the closing levels of both Underlyings on the second Review Date are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels.

Underlying	Closing Level of each Underlying on the first Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the second Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the third Review Date / Final Level
SX5E	90% of Initial Level	125% of Initial Level	N/A
EEM	95% of Initial Level	100% of Initial Level	N/A

Since the closing levels of both Underlyings are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels on the second Review Date, the securities are automatically redeemed.

Therefore, the cash payment per $1,000 principal amount of securities is equal to $1,000 plus the Automatic Redemption Premium applicable to the second Review Date:

= $1,000 + $260.00 = $1,260.00

Example 3: The securities are not automatically redeemed on the first Review Date or the second Review Date and the closing levels of both Underlyings on the third Review Date are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels.

Underlying	Closing Level of each Underlying on the first Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the second Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the third Review Date / Final Level
SX5E	80% of Initial Level	80% of Initial Level	110% of Initial Level
EEM	95% of Initial Level	70% of Initial Level	100% of Initial Level

Since the closing levels of both Underlyings are equal to or greater than their Trigger Levels on the third Review Date, the securities are automatically redeemed.

Therefore, the cash payment per $1,000 principal amount of securities is equal to $1,000 plus the Automatic Redemption Premium applicable to the third Review Date:

= $1,000 + $390.00 = $1,390.00

Example 4: The securities are not automatically redeemed; a Knock-In Event occurs because the Final Level of an Underlying is equal to or less than its Knock-In Level.

Underlying	Closing Level of each Underlying on the first Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the second Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the third Review Date / Final Level
SX5E	80% of Initial Level	80% of Initial Level	70% of Initial Level
EEM	95% of Initial Level	70% of Initial Level	80% of Initial Level

Since the Final Level of an Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event occurs.

Therefore, the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying will equal:

Final Level – Initial Level

Initial Level

= −0.30

The Redemption Amount = $1,000 × (1 + Underlying Return)

= $1,000 × (1 - 0.30) = $700.00

Example 5: The securities are not automatically redeemed; a Knock-In Event does not occur.

Underlying	Closing Level of each Underlying on the first Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the second Review Date	Closing Level of each Underlying on the third Review Date / Final Level
SX5E	80% of Initial Level	80% of Initial Level	85% of Initial Level
EEM	95% of Initial Level	70% of Initial Level	80% of Initial Level

Since the Final Level of an Underlying is not less than the Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event does not occur.

Therefore, the Redemption Amount equals $1,000.00.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlyings. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement.

•

YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY — You may receive less at maturity than you originally invested in the securities, or you may receive nothing. If the securities are not automatically redeemed and the Final Level of either Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Lowest Performing Underlying. In this case, the Redemption Amount you will be entitled to receive will be less than the principal amount of the securities, and you will lose your entire investment if the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying falls to zero. It is not possible to predict whether a Knock-In Event will occur, and in the event that there is a Knock-In Event, by how much the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying will decrease in comparison to its Initial Level. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

•

THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF CREDIT SUISSE — Although the return on the securities will be based on the performance of the Underlyings, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the securities and, therefore, investors are subject to our credit risk. In addition, any decline in our credit ratings, any adverse changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness or any increase in our credit spreads is likely to adversely affect the value of the securities prior to maturity.

•

THE SECURITIES DO NOT PAY INTEREST — We will not pay interest on the securities. You may receive less at maturity than you could have earned on ordinary interest-bearing debt securities with similar maturities, including other of our debt securities, since the Redemption Amount at maturity is based on the appreciation or depreciation of the Underlyings. Because the Redemption Amount due at maturity may be less than the amount originally invested in the securities, the return on the securities (the effective yield to maturity) may be negative. Even if it is positive, the return payable on each security may not be enough to compensate you for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.

•

YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A GAIN ON THE SECURITIES UNLESS THE SECURITIES ARE AUTOMATICALLY REDEEMED — You will not receive a gain on the securities unless the securities are automatically redeemed, and, even if the securities are automatically redeemed, your gain will be limited to the Automatic Redemption Premium applicable to the relevant Review Date, as set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement, regardless of any appreciation in the Underlyings, which may be significant. Because the closing levels of the Underlyings at various times during the term of the securities could be higher than on the Review Dates, you may receive a cash payment upon Automatic Redemption or at maturity, as the case may be, that would be less than you would have if you had invested directly in the Underlyings.

•

APPRECIATION POTENTIAL IS LIMITED — The appreciation potential of the securities will be limited to the Automatic Redemption Premium, which is expected to be $130 if a Trigger Event occurs on the first Review Date, $260 if a Trigger Event occurs on the second Review Date and $390 if if a Trigger Event occurs on the third Review Date (each to be determined on the Trade Date), even if the Final Level of one or both of the Underlyings increases from its Initial Level by more than the Automatic Redemption Premiums. Accordingly, the maximum Redemption Amount of the securities at maturity is expected to be $1,130, $1,260 or $1,390 per $1,000 principal amount of securities, depending on whether and on which Reivew Date the securities are automatically redeemed. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

•

IF A KNOCK-IN EVENT OCCURS, YOUR RETURN WILL BE BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LOWEST PERFORMING UNDERLYING — If the securities are not automatically redeemed and a Knock-In Event occurs, your return will be based on the individual

performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying and your return will be negative even if the Knock-In Event occurs with respect to only one Underlying.

•

THE RETURN ON THE SECURITIES WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE KNOCK-IN LEVEL FOR EACH UNDERLYING AND THE OCCURRENCE OF A KNOCK-IN EVENT — The return on the securities will be affected by the Knock-In Level for each Underlying and whether a Knock-In Event occurs. If the securities are not automatically redeemend and the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying is less than its Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event will have occurred and you will receive substantially less than your principal amount at maturity.

•

NON-U.S. SECURITIES MARKETS RISK — The equity securities comprising the Underlyings are issued by foreign companies and trade in foreign securities markets. Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including the risk of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

•

THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REFERENCE FUND — Although shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (the “Reference Fund”) are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and a number of similar products have been traded on various national securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Reference Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. The Reference Fund is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the Reference Fund’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Pursuant to the Reference Fund’s investment strategy or otherwise, the investment advisor for the Reference Fund may add, delete or substitute the components held by the Reference Fund. Any of these actions could affect the price of the shares of the Reference Fund and consequently the value of the securities.

•

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REFERENCE FUND MAY NOT CORRELATE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRACKED INDEX — The Reference Fund will generally invest in all of the equity securities included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the “Tracked Index” for the Reference Fund. There may, however, be instances where BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Reference Fund’s investment advisor, may choose to overweight another stock in the Tracked Index, purchase securities not included in the Tracked Index that BFA believes are appropriate to substitute for a security included in the Tracked Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques. In addition, the performance of the Reference Fund will reflect additional transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Tracked Index. Finally, because the shares of the Reference Fund are traded on the NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Reference Fund may differ from the net asset value per share of the Reference Fund. For these reasons, the performance of the Reference Fund may not correlate with the performance of the Tracked Index. For additional information about the variation between the performance of the Reference Fund and the performance of the Tracked Index, see the information set forth under “The Reference Funds—The iShares® Funds—The iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

•

EMERGING MARKETS RISK — The Reference Fund and the Tracked Index are exposed to the political and economic risks of emerging market countries. In recent years, some emerging markets have undergone significant political, economic and social upheaval. Such far-reaching changes have resulted in constitutional and social tensions and, in some cases, instability and reaction against market reforms has occurred. With respect to any emerging market nation, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscation, political changes, government regulation and social instability. There can be no assurance that future political changes will not adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market nation. Political or economic instability could have an adverse effect on the performance of the securities.

•

CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK — The securities, which are denominated in U.S. dollars, are subject to currency exchange risk through their exposure to the performance of the Reference Fund, which measures the performance of certain foreign stocks. Currency exchange rates may be highly volatile, particularly in relation to emerging or developing nations’ currencies and, in certain market conditions, also in relation to developed nations’ currencies. Significant changes in currency exchange rates, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur within very short periods of time. Currency exchange rate risks include, but are not limited to, convertibility risk, market volatility and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local markets, foreign investment or particular transactions in foreign currency. These factors may adversely affect the values of the equity securities included in the Reference Fund, the level of the Reference Fund and the value of the securities.

•

CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES PRIOR TO MATURITY — While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full principal amount of your securities, the original issue price of the securities includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates), will be willing to purchase securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.

•

LACK OF LIQUIDITY — 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. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities when you wish to do so. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) is willing to buy the securities. If you have to sell your securities prior to maturity, you may not be able to do so or you may have to sell them at a substantial loss.

•

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities.

•

MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — In addition to the level of the Underlyings on any trading day, the value of the securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

the expected volatility of the Underlyings;

the time to maturity of the securities;

the dividend rate on the equity securities comprising the Underlyings;

interest and yield rates in the market generally;

investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

the occurrence of certain events to the shares of the Reference Fund that may or may not require an anti-dilution adjustment;

geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the components comprising the Underlyings or markets generally and which may affect the level of the Underlyings;

the exchange rate and the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the equity securities comprising the Reference Fund and any other currency relevant to the value of the Reference Fund; and

our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Some or all of these factors may influence the price that you will receive if you choose to sell your securities prior to maturity. The impact of any of the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or all of any change resulting from another factor or factors.

•

NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS RELATING TO THE UNDERLYINGS — Your return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the equity securities that comprise the Underlyings. The return on your investment, which is based on the percentage change in the Underlyings, is not the same as the total return based on the purchase of shares of the equity securities that comprise the Underlyings.

•

NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights with respect to the equity securities that comprise the Underlyings.

•

ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The Calculation Agent will make anti-dilution adjustments for certain events affecting the Reference Fund. However, an adjustment will not be required in response to all events that could affect the Reference Fund. If an event occurs that does not require the Calculation Agent to make an adjustment, or if an adjustment is made but such adjustment does not fully reflect the economics of such event, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. See “Description of the Securities—Adjustments for a reference fund” in the accompanying product supplement.

Supplemental Use of Proceeds and Hedging

We intend to use the proceeds of this offering for our general corporate purposes, which may include the refinancing of existing debt outside Switzerland. Some or all of the proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities may be used in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our affiliates. Such hedging or trading activities on or prior to the Trade Date and during the term of the securities, including on the Review Dates (including on the Valuation Date), could adversely affect the value of the Underlyings and, as a result, could decrease the amount you may receive on the securities at maturity. For additional information, see “Supplemental Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.

Historical Information

The following graphs set forth the historical performance of the Underlyings based on the closing levels of such Underlyings from January 1, 2008 through May 17, 2013. The closing level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index on May 17, 2013 was 2817.99. The closing level of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund on May 17, 2013 was $43.42. We obtained the historical information below from Bloomberg, without independent verification.

The historical levels of the Underlyings should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing levels of the Underlyings on any trading day during the term of the securities, including on the Valuation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Underlyings will result in any return of your investment. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

For additional information about the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund, see the information set forth under “The Reference Indices—The EURO STOXX 50® Index” and “The Reference Funds—The iShares® Funds— iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

Market Disruption Events

If any Review Date is not an underlying business day for either Underlying or if a market disruption event exists in respect of either Underlying on such date, then such Review Date will be postponed in respect of such Underlying to the first succeeding underlying business day for such Underlying on which the calculation agent determines that no market disruption event exists in respect of such Underlying, unless the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event exists in respect of such Underlying on each of the five underlying business days for such Underlying immediately following such scheduled Review Date. In that case, (a) the fifth succeeding underlying business day for such Underlying following such scheduled Review Date will be deemed to be such Review Date for such Underlying, notwithstanding the market disruption event in respect of such Underlying, and (b):

if a market disruption event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a reference index, the calculation agent will determine the closing level for such reference index on that deemed Review Date in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating such reference index last in effect prior to the commencement of the market disruption event in respect of such reference index using exchange-traded prices on the relevant exchanges (as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion) or, if trading in any component comprising such reference index has been materially suspended or materially limited, the calculation agent’s good faith estimate of the prices that would have prevailed on the relevant exchanges (as determined by the calculation agent in its sole discretion) but for the suspension or limitation, as of the valuation time on that deemed Review Date, of each component comprising such reference index (subject to the provisions described under “—Changes to the calculation of a reference index” in the accompanying product supplement).

if a market disruption event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a reference fund, the calculation agent will determine the closing level for such reference fund on that deemed Review Date using its good faith estimate of the settlement price of such reference fund that would have prevailed on the relevant exchange but for the occurrence of a market disruption event (subject to the provisions described under “—Changes to the calculation of a reference fund” in the accompanying product supplement).

Each Review Date, including the Valuation Date, for any Underlying not affected by a market disruption event will be the scheduled Review Date for such Underlying.

If a Review Date for either Underlying is postponed as a result of a market disruption event or because such Review Date is not an underlying business day for any Underlying, then the corresponding Payment Date, including the Maturity Date, will be postponed to the fifth business day following such Review Date as postponed for any Underlying. No interest or other payment will be payable as a result of such postponement.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities that may be relevant to holders of the securities that acquire their securities from us as part of the original issuance of the securities. This discussion applies only to holders that hold their securities as capital assets within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Further, this discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances or if you are subject to special rules, such as if you are:

a financial institution,

a mutual fund,

a tax-exempt organization,

a grantor trust,

certain U.S. expatriates,

an insurance company,

a dealer or trader in securities or foreign currencies,

a person (including traders in securities) using a mark-to-market method of accounting,

a person who holds the securities as a hedge or as part of a straddle with another position, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction, or

an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The discussion is based upon the Code, law, regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been or will be sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences to you of owning and disposing of the securities, including the application of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws based on your particular facts and circumstances.

Characterization of the Securities

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of your securities. Thus, the characterization of the securities is not certain. Due to the terms of the securities and the uncertainty of the tax law with respect to characterization of the securities, our special tax counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, is unable to opine on the characterization of the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The possible alternative characterizations and risks to investors of such characterizations are discussed below. Based on the advice of our special tax counsel, we intend to treat the securities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid financial contracts, with respect to the Underlyings, that are eligible for open transaction treatment in part. In the absence of an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, we and, by acceptance of the securities, you agree to treat the securities for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. In light of the fact that we agree to treat the securities as prepaid financial contracts, the balance of this discussion assumes that the securities will be so treated.

Alternative Characterizations of the Securities

You should be aware that the characterization of the securities as described above is not certain, nor is it binding on the IRS or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your securities in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described below. For example, the IRS might characterize a security as a notional principal contract (an “NPC”). In general, payments on an NPC are accrued ratably (as ordinary income or deduction, as the case may be) over the period to which they relate income regardless of an investor’s usual method of tax accounting. Payments made to terminate an NPC (other than perhaps a final scheduled payment) are capital in nature. Deductions for NPC payments may be limited in certain

cases. Certain payments under an NPC may be treated as U.S. source income. The IRS could also seek to characterize your securities as options, and thus as Code section 1256 contracts in the event that they are listed on a securities exchange. In such case, the securities would be marked-to-market at the end of the year and 40% of any gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss, and the remaining 60% of any gain or loss would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If the securities have a term of one year or less, it is also possible that the IRS would assert that the securities constitute short-term debt obligations. Under Treasury regulations, a short-term debt obligation is treated as issued at a discount equal to the difference between all payments on the obligation and the obligation’s issue price. A cash method U.S. Holder that does not elect to accrue the discount in income currently should include the payments attributable to interest on the security as income upon receipt. Under these rules, any contingent payment would be taxable upon receipt by a cash basis taxpayer as ordinary interest income. If the securities have a term of more than one year, the IRS might assert that the securities constitute debt instruments that are “contingent payment debt instruments” that are subject to special tax rules under the applicable Treasury regulations governing the recognition of income over the term of your securities. If the securities were to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, you would be required to include in income on an economic accrual basis over the term of the securities an amount of interest that is based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to your securities, or the comparable yield. The characterization of securities as contingent payment debt instruments under these rules is likely to be adverse. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the possible tax consequences of characterization of the securities as debt instruments. We are not responsible for any adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the securities for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of your securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, means a beneficial owner of securities that is (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has in effect a valid election to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of such partnership and a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership, or a partner of a partnership, holding securities, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you from the partnership’s purchase, ownership and disposition of the securities.

In accordance with the agreed-upon tax treatment described above, a U.S. Holder will treat any coupon payment received in respect of a security as ordinary income includible in such U.S. Holder’s income in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting. If the security provides for the payment of the redemption amount in cash based on the return of the Underlyings, upon receipt of the redemption amount of the securities from us, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received from us and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the security at that time. For securities with a term of more than one year, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the security for more than one year at maturity. For securities with a term of one year or less, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. If the security provides for the payment of the redemption amount in physical shares or units of the Underlyings, the U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss with respect to the security (other than with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares or units, as described below). A U.S. Holder should have a tax basis in all physical shares or units received (including for this purpose any fractional shares or units) equal to its tax basis in the security (generally its cost). A U.S. Holder’s holding period for any physical shares or units received should start on the day after the delivery of the physical shares or units. A U.S. Holder should generally recognize short-term capital gain or loss with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares or units in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such cash received and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the fractional shares or units, which should be equal to the U.S. Holder’s basis in all of the physical shares or units (including the

fractional shares or units), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the fractional shares or units and the denominator of which is all of the physical shares or units (including fractional shares or units).

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a security, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the security (generally its cost). For securities with a term of more than one year, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the security for more than one year at the time of disposition. For securities with a term of one year or less, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss.

Medicare Tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, and trusts must pay a 3.8% tax (the “Medicare Tax”) on the lesser of the U.S. person’s (1) “net investment income” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust and (2) the excess of modified adjusted gross income over a certain specified threshold for the taxable year. “Net investment income” generally includes income from interest, dividends, and net gains from the disposition of property (such as the securities) unless such income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that is a passive activity with respect to the taxpayer or a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities). Net investment income may be reduced by allowable deductions properly allocable to such gross income or net gain. Any interest earned or deemed earned on the securities and any gain on sale or other taxable disposition of the securities will be subject to the Medicare Tax. If you are an individual, estate, or trust, you are urged to consult with your tax advisor regarding application of Medicare Tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the securities.

Securities Held Through Foreign Entities

Under the “Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act” (“FATCA” or the “Act”) and recently finalized regulations, a 30% withholding tax is imposed on “withholdable payments” and certain “passthru payments” made to “foreign financial institutions” (as defined in the regulations or an applicable intergovernmental agreement) (and their more than 50% affiliates) unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees, among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the institution’s affiliates) and to annually report certain information about such account. The term “withholdable payments” generally includes (1) payments of fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits, and income (“FDAP”), in each case, from sources within the United States, and (2) gross proceeds from the sale of any property of a type which can produce interest or dividends from sources within the United States. “Passthru payments” means any withholdable payment and any foreign passthru payment. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or certify that they do not have any substantial United States owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. We will treat payments on the securities as withholdable payments for these purposes.

Withholding under FATCA will apply to all withholdable payments and certain passthru payments without regard to whether the beneficial owner of the payment is a U.S. person, or would otherwise be entitled to an exemption from the imposition of withholding tax pursuant to an applicable tax treaty with the United States or pursuant to U.S. domestic law. Unless a foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner of a payment, it will be subject to refund or credit in accordance with the same procedures and limitations applicable to other taxes withheld on FDAP payments provided that the beneficial owner of the payment furnishes such information as the IRS determines is necessary to determine whether such beneficial owner is a United States owned foreign entity and the identity of any substantial United States owners of such entity.

Pursuant to the recently finalized regulations described above and subject to the exceptions described below, FATCA’s withholding regime generally will apply to (i) withholdable payments (other than gross proceeds of the type described above) made after December 31, 2013 (other than certain payments made with respect to a “preexisting obligation,” as defined in the regulations); (ii) payments of gross proceeds of the type described above with respect to a sale or disposition occurring after December 31, 2016; and (iii) foreign passthru payments made after the later of December 31, 2016, or six months after the date that final regulations defining the term ”foreign passthru payment” are published. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of FATCA discussed above generally will not apply to (a) any obligation (other than an instrument that is treated as equity for U.S. tax purposes or that lacks a stated expiration or term) that is outstanding on January 1, 2014 (a

“grandfathered obligation”); (b) any obligation that produces withholdable payments solely because the obligation is treated as giving rise to a dividend equivalent pursuant to Code section 871(m) and the regulations thereunder that is outstanding at any point prior to six months after the date on which obligations of its type are first treated as giving rise to dividend equivalents; and (c) any agreement requiring a secured party to make payments with respect to collateral securing one or more grandfathered obligations (even if the collateral is not itself a grandfathered obligation). Thus, if you hold your securities through a foreign financial institution or foreign entity, a portion of any of your payments made after December 31, 2013, may be subject to 30% withholding.

Non-U.S. Holders Generally

The U.S. withholding tax consequences of any coupon payment in respect of the securities is uncertain. Given the uncertainty, we will withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 30% on any coupon payment. It may be possible for a holder of the securities that is not a U.S. Holder (a “Non-U.S. Holder”) to take the position that some or all of a coupon payment is exempt from the 30% U.S. withholding tax or subject to a reduced withholding tax rate under an applicable tax treaty. Any Non-U.S. Holder taking the position that a coupon payment is exempt from the 30% withholding tax or eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax may seek a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by us by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

Payment of the redemption amount by us in respect to the securities (except to the extent of the coupons) to a Non-U.S. Holder that has no connection with the United States other than holding its securities will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided that such Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification requirements. Any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the securities by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such Non-U.S. Holder or (2) in the case of an individual, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met. Any effectively connected gains described in clause (1) above realized by a Non-U.S. Holder that is, or is taxable as, a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Non-U.S. Holders that are subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis with respect to their investment in the securities should refer to the discussion above relating to U.S. Holders.

Substitute Dividend and Dividend Equivalent Payments

The Act and recently proposed and temporary regulations treat a “dividend equivalent” payment as a dividend from sources within the United States. Under the Act, unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty with the United States, such payments generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. A “dividend equivalent” payment is (i) a substitute dividend payment made pursuant to a securities lending or a sale-repurchase transaction that (directly or indirectly) is contingent upon, or determined by reference to, the payment of a dividend from sources within the United States, (ii) a payment made pursuant to a “specified notional principal contract” that (directly or indirectly) is contingent upon, or determined by reference to, the payment of a dividend from sources within the United States, and (iii) any other payment determined by the IRS to be substantially similar to a payment described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii). Proposed regulations provide criteria for determining whether a notional principal contract will be a specified notional principal contract, effective for payments made after December 31, 2013.

Proposed regulations address whether a payment is a dividend equivalent. The proposed regulations provide that an equity-linked instrument that provides for a payment that is a substantially similar payment is treated as a notional principal contract for these purposes. An equity-linked instrument is a financial instrument or combination of financial instruments that references one or more underlying securities to determine its value, including a futures contract, forward contract, option, or other contractual arrangement. The proposed regulations consider any payment, including the payment of the purchase price or an adjustment to the purchase price, to be a substantially similar payment (and, therefore, a dividend equivalent payment) if made pursuant to an equity-linked instrument that is contingent upon or determined by reference to a dividend (including payments pursuant to a redemption of stock that gives rise to a dividend) from sources within the United States. The rules for equity-linked instruments under the proposed regulations will be effective for payments made after the rules are finalized. Where the securities reference an interest in a fixed basket of securities or a “customized index,” each security or component of such basket or customized index is treated as an underlying security in a separate notional

principal contract for purposes of determining whether such notional principal contract is a specified notional principal contract or an amount received is a substantially similar payment.

We will treat any portion of a payment or deemed payment on the securities that is substantially similar to a dividend as a dividend equivalent payment, which will be subject to U.S. withholding tax unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty and a properly executed IRS Form W-8 (or other qualifying documentation) is provided. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding whether payments or deemed payments on the securities constitute dividend equivalent payments.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders

The securities may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual Non-U.S. Holder holds the securities at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a Non-U.S. Holder domiciled outside the United States includes only property situated in the United States. Individual Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of holding the securities at death.

IRS Notice and Proposed Legislation on Certain Financial Transactions

In Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury Department stated they are considering issuing new regulations or other guidance on whether holders of an instrument such as the securities should be required to accrue income during the term of the instrument. The IRS and Treasury Department also requested taxpayer comments on (1) the appropriate method for accruing income or expense (e.g., a mark-to-market methodology or a method resembling the noncontingent bond method), (2) whether income and gain on such an instrument should be ordinary or capital, and (3) whether foreign holders should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accrual. Additionally, unofficial statements made by IRS officials have indicated that they will soon be addressing the treatment of prepaid forward contracts in proposed regulations.

Accordingly, it is possible that regulations or other guidance may be issued that require holders of the securities to recognize income in respect of the securities prior to receipt of any payments thereunder or sale thereof. Any regulations or other guidance that may be issued could result in income and gain (either at maturity or upon sale) in respect of the securities being treated as ordinary income. It is also possible that a Non-U.S. Holder of the securities could be subject to U.S. withholding tax in respect of the securities under such regulations or other guidance. It is not possible to determine whether such regulations or other guidance will apply to your securities (possibly on a retroactive basis). You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding Notice 2008-2 and its possible impact on you.

More recently, on January 24, 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If enacted as proposed, the effect of that legislation generally would be to require instruments such as the securities acquired after December 31, 2013, to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the draft legislation and its possible impact on you.

Information Reporting Regarding Specified Foreign Financial Assets

The Act and temporary and proposed regulations generally require individual U.S. Holders (“specified individuals”) and “specified domestic entities” with an interest in any “specified foreign financial asset” to file an annual report on IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset, including the maximum value thereof, for any taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets is greater than $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year. Certain individuals are permitted to have an interest in a higher aggregate value of such assets before being required to file a report. The proposed regulations relating to specified domestic entities apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2011. Under the proposed regulations, “specified domestic entities” are domestic entities that are formed or used for the purposes of holding, directly or indirectly, specified foreign financial assets. Generally, specified domestic entities are certain closely held corporations and partnerships that meet passive income or passive asset tests and, with certain exceptions, domestic trusts that have a specified individual as a current beneficiary and exceed the reporting threshold. Specified foreign financial assets include any depository or custodial account held at a foreign financial institution; any debt or equity interest in a foreign financial institution if such interest is not regularly traded on an established securities market; and, if not held at a financial institution, (1) any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person,

(2) any financial instrument or contract held for investment where the issuer or counterparty is a non-U.S. person, and (3) any interest in an entity which is a non-U.S. person.

Depending on the aggregate value of your investment in specified foreign financial assets, you may be obligated to file an IRS Form 8938 under this provision if you are an individual U.S. Holder. Pursuant to a recent IRS Notice, reporting by domestic entities of interests in specified foreign financial assets will not be required before the date specified by final regulations, which will not be earlier than taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. Penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938. Additionally, in the event a U.S. Holder (either a specified individual or specified domestic entity) does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. Holder for the related tax year may not close before the date which is three years after the date such information is filed. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible application to you of this information reporting requirement and related statute of limitations tolling provision.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

A holder of the securities (whether a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder) may be subject to backup withholding with respect to certain amounts paid to such holder unless it provides a correct taxpayer identification number, complies with certain certification procedures establishing that it is not a U.S. Holder or establishes proof of another applicable exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. You can claim a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability for amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules, and amounts in excess of your liability are refundable if you provide the required information to the IRS in a timely fashion. A holder of the securities may also be subject to information reporting to the IRS with respect to certain amounts paid to such holder unless it (1) is a Non-U.S. Holder and provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8 (or other qualifying documentation) or (2) otherwise establishes a basis for exemption.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

Under the terms of a distribution agreement with Barclays Capital Inc., dated as of March 23, 2012, Barclays Capital Inc. will act as placement agent for the securities. The placement agent will receive a fee from Credit Suisse or one of our affiliates of up to $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of securities and will forgo fees for sales to fiduciary accounts. For additional information, see “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.

We expect to deliver the securities against payment for the securities on the Settlement Date indicated herein, which may be a date that is greater than three business days following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the Settlement Date is more than three business days after the Trade Date, purchasers who wish to transact in the securities more than three business days prior to the Settlement Date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
