Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 1053092. As used in this term sheet, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Credit Suisse. This term sheet, 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, 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 “Risk Factors” in the product supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” in this term sheet, as the securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. You should consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before deciding to invest in the securities.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts at Maturity for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Securities — The following tables illustrate hypothetical Redemption Amounts at maturity and total payments over the term of the securities (which include both payments at maturity and the total interest paid on the securities) on a $1,000 investment in the securities, based on a number of assumed variables. The tables assume that (i) the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity, (ii) the Interest Rate applicable to the securities is 10.75% per annum (the midpoint of the expected range set forth on the cover of this term sheet), (iii) the term of the securities is exactly one year and (iv) the Knock-In Level for each Underlying is 70% of the Initial Level of such Underlying. These examples are provided for illustration purposes only. The actual payment amounts received by investors will depend on several variables, including, but not limited to (a) whether the closing level of any Underlying is less than or equal to its respective Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Observation Period and (b) the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying. The hypothetical Redemption Amounts set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual returns applicable to the purchaser of the securities. The numbers appearing in the following tables and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

TABLE 1: This table represents the hypothetical Redemption Amount at maturity and the total payment over the term of the securities on a $1,000 investment in the securities if a Knock-In Event DOES NOT occur during the Observation Period.

Principal Amount	Lowest Performing Underlying Return	Redemption Amount *(Knock-In Event does not occur)*	Total Interest Payment	Total Payment
$1,000	50%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50
$1,000	40%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50
$1,000	30%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50

$1,000	-20%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50

TABLE 2: This table represents the hypothetical Redemption Amount at maturity and the total payment over the term of the securities on a $1,000 investment in the securities if a Knock-In Event DOES occur during the Observation Period.

Principal Amount	Lowest Performing Underlying Return	Redemption Amount *(Knock-In Event occurs)*	Total Interest Payment	Total Payment
$1,000	50%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50
$1,000	40%	$1,000	$107.50	$1,107.50

Hypothetical Examples of Redemption Amounts of each Security — Because the return on the securities depends upon whether a Knock-In Event occurs and the performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying, we cannot present a complete range of possible Redemption Amounts at maturity. The four examples below set forth a sampling of hypothetical Redemption Amounts at maturity based on the following assumptions:

Principal amount of securities = $1,000
The Initial Level is 1,109 for SPX, 589 for RTY and 42 for EEM.
No exercise of our Early Redemption right.
The Knock-In Level for each Underlying is 70% of the Initial Level of such Underlying.
At maturity you will be entitled to receive the Redemption Amount calculated as shown in the examples below.
In addition to the Redemption Amount, you will be entitled to receive interest payments quarterly on each Interest Payment Date, up to and including the Maturity Date or the Early Redemption Date, as the case may be.

The examples provided herein are for illustration purposes only. The actual payment at maturity, if any, will depend on whether a Knock-In Event occurs and, if so, the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying. You should not take these examples as an indication of potential payments. It is not possible to predict whether a Knock-In Event will occur and, if so, whether and by how much the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying will decrease in comparison to its Initial Level.

Example 1: A Knock-In Event occurs because the closing level of one Underlying reaches its Knock-In Level; and the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Level.

Underlying	Initial Level	Lowest closing level of the Underlying during the Observation Period	Final Level on Valuation Date
SPX	1,109	1,109.00 (100% of Initial Level)	1,219.90 (110% of Initial Level)
RTY	589	530.10 (90% of Initial Level)	647.90 (110% of Initial Level)
EEM	42	29.40 (70% of Initial Level)	29.40 (70% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of EEM reaches its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event occurs. EEM is also the Lowest Performing Underlying. Therefore, the percentage change from the Initial Level to the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying will equal:

Final Level of EEM — Initial Level of EEM Initial Level of EEM		;subject to a maximum of 0.00

= (29.40 – 42)/42 = -0.30

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying) = $1,000 X (1 – 0.30) = $700.00

Example 2: A Knock-In Event occurs because the closing level of one Underlying reaches its Knock-In Level; the Lowest Performing Underlying never reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level; and the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Level.

Underlying	Initial Level	Lowest closing level of the Underlying during the Observation Period	Final Level on Valuation Date
SPX	1,109	776.30 (70% of Initial Level)	1,219.90 (110% of Initial Level)
RTY	589	530.10 (90% of Initial Level)	647.90 (110% of Initial Level)
EEM	42	32.34 (77% of Initial Level)	32.34 (77% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of SPX reaches its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event occurs. EEM is the Lowest Performing Underlying, even though its closing level never reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level. Therefore, the percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying will equal:

Final Level of EEM — Initial Level of EEM Initial Level of EEM		;subject to a maximum of 0.00

= (32.34 – 42)/42 = -0.23

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying) = $1,000 X (1 – 0.23) = $770.00

Example 3: A Knock-In Event occurs because the closing level of at least one Underlying reaches its Knock-In Level; and the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying is greater than its Initial Level.

Underlying	Initial Level	Lowest closing level of the Underlying during the Observation Period	Final Level on Valuation Date
SPX	1,109	776.30 (70% of Initial Level)	1,219.90 (110% of Initial Level)
RTY	589	530.10 (90% of Initial Level)	706.80 (120% of Initial Level)
EEM	42	33.60 (80% of Initial Level)	50.40 (120% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of SPX reaches its Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event occurs. SPX is also the Lowest Performing Underlying. Therefore, the percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying will equal:

Final Level of SPX — Initial Level of SPX Initial Level of SPX		;subject to a maximum of 0.00

= (1,219.90 – 1,109)/1,109 = 0.10

BUT 0.10 is greater than the maximum, so the percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying is 0.00.

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + percentage change of the Lowest Performing Underlying) = $1,000 X (1 + 0.0) = $1,000

Example 4: A Knock-In Event does not occur.

Underlying	Initial Level	Lowest closing level of the Underlying during the Observation Period	Final Level on Valuation Date
SPX	1,109	853.93 (77% of Initial Level)	1,219.90 (110% of Initial Level)
RTY	589	459.42 (78% of Initial Level)	647.90 (110% of Initial Level)
EEM	42	33.60 (80% of Initial Level)	46.20 (110% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of each Underlying did not reach or fall below its Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event does not occur. Therefore, the Redemption Amount equals $1,000.

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.

THE SECURITIES ARE NOT PRINCIPAL PROTECTED — An investment in the securities is not principal protected and you may receive less at maturity than you originally invested in the securities, or you may receive nothing, excluding any accrued or unpaid interest. If a Knock-In Event occurs during the Observation Period and for the Lowest Performing Underlying the Final Level is less than the Initial 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 could lose your entire investment if the level of the Lowest Performing Underlying falls to zero. Any payment you will be entitled to receive at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
THE SECURITIES WILL NOT PAY MORE THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, PLUS ACCRUED AND UNPAID INTEREST, AT MATURITY OR UPON EARLY REDEMPTION — The securities will not pay more than the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at maturity or upon early redemption. If the Final Level of each Underlying is greater than its respective Initial Level (regardless of whether a Knock-In Event has occurred), you will not receive the appreciation of any Underlying. Assuming the securities are held to maturity the maximum amount payable with respect to the securities will not exceed between $1,095.00 and $1,120.00 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1000 principal amount of the securities.
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, including any applicable interest payments, early redemption payment or payment at maturity, is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. Investors are dependant 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 market value of the securities prior to maturity.
IF A KNOCK-IN EVENT OCCURS, YOUR RETURN WILL BE BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LOWEST PERFORMING UNDERLYING — If a Knock-In Event occurs, your return will be based on the individual performance of the Lowest Performing Underlying. This will be true even if the closing level of the Lowest Performing Underlying never reached or fell below its Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Observation Period.

YOUR RETURN WILL BE NEGATIVE EVEN IF A KNOCK-IN EVENT OCCURS WITH RESPECT TO ONLY ONE UNDERLYING AND THE FINAL LEVEL OF ONLY ONE UNDERLYING REACHES OR FALLS BELOW ITS INITIAL LEVEL — Your return will be negative even if a Knock-In Event occurs with respect to only one Underlying and the Final Level of only one Underlying reaches or falls below its Initial Level. Even if the closing level of only one Underlying reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event will have occurred.
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A POTENTIAL EARLY REDEMPTION, WHICH WOULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO ACCRUE INTEREST OVER THE FULL TERM OF THE SECURITIES — The securities are subject to a potential early redemption. The securities may be redeemed on any Interest Payment Date occurring on or after March 29, 2010 upon at least five business days notice. If the securities are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of your securities and any accrued but unpaid interest to and including the Early Redemption Date. In this case, you will lose the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest from the Early Redemption Date to the scheduled Maturity Date. If the securities are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you may be unable to invest in other securities with a similar level of risk that yield as much interest as the securities.
SINCE THE SECURITIES ARE LINKED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF MORE THAN ONE UNDERLYING, YOU WILL BE FULLY EXPOSED TO THE RISK OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE LEVELS OF EACH UNDERLYING — Since the securities are linked to the performance of more than one Underlying, the securities will be linked to the individual performance of each Underlying. Because the securities are not linked to a basket, in which the risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of a basket, you will be exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the levels of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying. For example, in the case of securities linked to a basket, the return would depend on the weighted aggregate performance of the basket components as reflected by the basket return. Thus, the depreciation of any basket component could be mitigated by the appreciation of another basket component, to the extent of the weightings of such components in the basket. However, in the case of securities linked to the lowest performing of each of two Underlyings, the individual performance of each Underlying would not be combined to calculate your return and the depreciation of either Underlying would not be mitigated by the appreciation of the other Underlying. Instead, your return would depend on the lowest performing of the two Underlyings to which the securities are linked.
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 term sheet 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.
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 stocks that comprise the Underlyings.
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 easily. 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 IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — In addition to the levels of the Underlyings on any trading day during the Observation Period, 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 composition of the Fund;
- the occurrence of certain events to the Fund that may require an adjustment to the Share Adjustment Factor;

the exchange rate and volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies;
the time to maturity of the securities;
the dividend rate on the stocks comprising the Underlyings;
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the stocks comprising the Underlyings, or stock markets generally and which may affect the levels of the Underlyings; 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.

ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor for certain events affecting the shares of the Fund. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Fund. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LINKED TO THE VALUE OF FOREIGN EQUITY SECURITIES — Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities, such as the securities comprising one or more of the Underlyings, involve risks associated with the securities markets in foreign 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.
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 one of more Underlyings which measure the performance of certain foreign stocks. For example, if the local currency depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar, the performance of the stocks comprising or included in the relevant Underlying could be adversely affected. Currency markets 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, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur in such markets within very short periods of time. Foreign currency rate risks include, but are not limited to, convertibility risk and 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 component stocks comprising the relevant Underlying, the level of such Underlying and the value of the securities.

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 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 further information, please refer to “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.

Historical Performance of the Underlyings — The following graphs set forth the historical performance of the S&P 500® Index, Russell 2000® Index and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund based on the closing levels from January 1, 2004 through December 1, 2009. The closing levels of the S&P 500® Index, Russell 2000® Index and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund on December 1, 2009 were 1,108.86, 589.20 and 41.68, respectively. We obtained the closing levels and other information below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg. You should not take the historical levels of the Underlyings as an indication of future performance of the Underlyings or the securities. The levels of any of the Underlyings may decrease so that a Knock-In Event occurs and at maturity you will receive a Redemption Amount equal to less than the principal amount of the securities. We cannot give you any assurance that the closing levels of the Underlyings will remain above their respective Knock-In Levels during the Observation Period. If the closing level of any Underlying reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Observation Period, and the closing level of the Lowest Performing Underlying on the Valuation Date is less than its Initial Level, then you will lose money on your investment. For further information on the Underlyings, see the accompanying underlying supplement.
