If the Final Level is equal to or greater than the Initial Level, you will participate in the leveraged appreciation, if any, of the Underlying.

If the Final Level is less than the Initial Level and a Knock-In Event has not occurred, you will receive the principal amount of the securities you hold at maturity.

If the Final Level is less than the Initial Level and a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Underlying. You could lose your entire investment.

Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Fees: Certain fiduciary accounts may pay a purchase price of at least $996 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and any agent (the “Agents”) may pay varying discounts and commissions of up to $4 per $1,000 principal amount of securities, of which $4 may be paid to certain institutions or service providers on securities not sold to certain fiduciary accounts in consideration for providing education, structuring or other services with respect to the distribution of the securities. CSSU or another broker or dealer will forgo some or all discounts and commissions with respect to the sales of securities into certain fiduciary accounts. The Agent(s) through whom we distribute securities may enter into arrangements with other institutions with respect to the distribution of the securities, and those institutions may share in the commissions, discounts or other compensation received by the Agent(s), may be compensated separately and may also receive commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as agents. In addition, an affiliate of ours will pay referral fees of $5 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. The Agent(s) may re-allow some or all of the discount on the principal amount per security on sales of such securities by other brokers or dealers.

Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 principal amount of the securities on the Trade Date will be between $910 and $960 (as determined by reference to its pricing models and the rate it is currently paying to borrow funds through issuance of the securities (its “internal funding rate”)). A single estimated value reflecting final terms will be determined on the Trade Date.

Certain Product Risks

Your investment may result in a loss of up to 100% of the principal amount of securities you hold. If a Knock-In Event has occurred you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Underlying.

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

The securities do not pay interest.

The return on the securities is affected by the Final Level and the occurrence of a Knock-In Event.

The probability that the Final Level will be less than the Knock-In Level will depend on the volatility of the Underlying.

Regardless of the amount of any payment you receive on the securities, your actual yield may be different in real value terms.

Additional Risk Considerations 

·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.

·If on the Trade Date the internal funding rate we use in structuring notes such as these securities is lower than the interest rate that is reflected in the yield on our conventional debt securities of similar maturity in the secondary market (our “secondary market credit spreads”), we expect that the economic terms of the securities will generally be less favorable to you than they would have been if our secondary market credit spread had been used in structuring the securities.

·As a Swiss bank, Credit Suisse is subject to regulation by governmental agencies, supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations in Switzerland. Such regulation is increasingly more extensive and complex and subjects Credit Suisse to risks.

·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. For example, the creditworthiness of the Issuer, including actual or anticipated downgrades to the Issuer’s credit ratings, may be a contributing factor.

·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 for 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, judicial and other 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 Underlying. Your return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the equity securities that comprise the Underlying.

·The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear.

The risks set forth in the section entitled “Certain Product Risks” on the preceding page and this section “Additional Risk Considerations” 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 “Certain Product Risks” and “Additional Risk Considerations” sections herein, the “Selected Risk Considerations” section in the preliminary pricing supplement, and the “Risk Factors” section of the product supplement, which set forth risks related to an investment in the securities.
