Hypothetical Payout Profile

If the ending level is less than or equal to the starting level, you will be repaid the principal amount of your notes, but you will not receive any positive return on your investment.

 

Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 principal amount of the notes on the pricing date will be between $915 and $965 (as determined by reference to our pricing models and the rate we are currently paying to borrow funds through issuance of the notes (our internal funding rate)). This range of estimated values reflects terms that are not yet fixed. A single estimated value reflecting final terms will be determined on the pricing date. See “Investment Description” and “Selected Risk Considerations” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
