Interest 
Payment Dates:

Unless redeemed earlier, interest will be paid quarterly in arrears on August 2, 2010, November 2, 2010, February 2, 2011 and the Maturity Date, subject to the modified following business day convention. No interest will accrue or be payable following an Early Redemption.

Redemption 
Amount:

The Redemption Amount of the securities you will be entitled to receive will depend on the individual performance of each Underlying and whether a Knock-In Event occurs. If the securities are not subject to Early Redemption, the Redemption Amount will be determined as follows:

 
  • If a Knock-In Event occurs during the Observation Period, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities you hold multiplied by the sum of one plus the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying. In this case, the maximum Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities, but the Redemption Amount may be less than the principal amount of the securities and you could lose your entire investment.

 
  • If a Knock-In Event does not occur during the Observation Period, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the securities.

 

Any payment you will be entitled to receive at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Early Redemption:

The Issuer may redeem the securities in whole, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date occurring on or after August 2, 2010 upon at least five business days notice at 100% of the principal amount of the securities, together with the interest payable on that Interest Payment Date.

Knock-In Event:

A Knock-In Event occurs if the closing level of any Underlying reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level for that Underlying on any trading day during the Observation Period.

Knock-In Level:

The Knock-In Level for each Underlying is approximately 80% of the Initial Level of such Underlying, as set forth in the table above.

Lowest Performing
Underlying:

The Underlying with the lowest Underlying Return.

Underlying Return:

For each Underlying, the Underlying Return will be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts at Maturity for each $1,000 Principal Amount

The tables and examples below illustrate hypothetical Redemption Amounts payable at maturity and, in the case of the tables, 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 for a range of Lowest Performing Underlying Returns, both in the event a Knock-In Event does not occur and in the event a Knock-In Event does occur. The tables and examples assume that the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the term of the securities is exactly one year. In addition, the examples below assume that the Initial Level is 1,184 for SPX, 721 for RTY and 826 for MID. The examples are intended to illustrate hypothetical calculations of only the Redemption Amount and do not illustrate the calculation or payment of any interest. The Redemption Amounts and total payment amounts set forth below are provided for illustration purposes only. The actual Redemption Amounts and total payments applicable to a purchaser of the securities 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 determined on the Valuation Date. 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. The numbers appearing in the following tables and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1: A Knock-In Event occurs because the closing level of one Underlying reaches its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period; 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 the Valuation Date

SPX

1,184

1,184.00 (100% of Initial Level)

1,302.40 (110% of Initial Level)

RTY

793.10 (110% of Initial Level)

MID

826

660.80 (80% of Initial Level)

660.80 (80% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of MID reaches its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event occurs. MID is also the Lowest Performing Underlying.

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

Final Level of MID – Initial Level of MID

 

 ; subject to a maximum of 0.00

Initial Level of MID

= (660.80 – 826)/826 = -0.20

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying)

= $1,000 x (1 – 0.20) = $800.00

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

MID

726.88 (88% of Initial Level)

Since the closing level of SPX reaches its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event occurs. MID is the Lowest Performing Underlying, even though its closing level never reaches or falls below its Knock-In Level during the Observation Period.

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

Final Level of MID – Initial Level of MID

 

 ; subject to a maximum of 0.00

Initial Level of MID

= (726.88 – 826)/826 = -0.12

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying)

= $1,000 x (1 – 0.12) = $880.00

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

Underlying

RTY

684.95 (95% of Initial Level)

865.20 (120% of Initial Level)

MID

826

743.40 (90% of Initial Level)

991.20 (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 Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying will equal:

Final Level of SPX – Initial Level of SPX

 

 ; subject to a maximum of 0.00

Initial Level of SPX

= (1,302.40 – 1,184)/1,184 = 0.10

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

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the securities × (1 + Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying)

= $1,000 x (1 + 0.00) = $1,000

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

Underlying

793.10 (110% of Initial Level)

MID

826

751.66 (91% of Initial Level)

908.60 (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 the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying is less than its 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. 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. 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 $1,075.00 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 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.

5

  • 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 August 2, 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 LEVEL 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 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.

6

  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT 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 time to maturity of the securities;

    • the Early Redemption feature, which is likely to limit the value of the securities;

    • interest and yield rates in the market generally;

    • investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

    • 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 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.

  • 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.

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 Information

The following graphs set forth the historical performance of the S&P 500® Index based on the closing level of such Underlying from January 1, 2005 through April 27, 2010, the Russell 2000® Index based on the closing level of such Underlying from January 1, 2005 through April 27, 2010 and the S&P 400 Midcap Index based on the closing level of such Underlying from January 1, 2005 through April 27, 2010. The closing level of the S&P 500® Index on April 27, 2010 was 1183.71. The closing level of the Russell 2000® Index on April 27, 2010 was 721.27. The closing level of the S&P 400 Midcap Index on April 27, 2010 was 825.61. We obtained the closing levels 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. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. 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, please refer to the accompanying underlying supplement.

Supplemental Information Regarding Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The amount of the stated interest rate on the security that constitutes interest on the Deposit (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) equals 0.94875%, and the remaining balance constitutes the Put Premium (as defined in the accompanying product supplement). Please refer to “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in a distribution agreement dated May 7, 2007, as amended, which we refer to as the distribution agreement, we have agreed to sell the securities to CSSU. The distribution agreement provides that CSSU is obligated to purchase all of the securities if any are purchased.

CSSU proposes to offer the securities at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement and will receive underwriting discounts and commissions of between 2.00% and 2.25% or between $20.00 and $22.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. CSSU may re-allow up to 2.25% or $22.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities on sales of such securities by other brokers or dealers. If all of the securities are not sold at the initial offering price, CSSU may change the public offering price and other selling terms.
