Selected Investment Considerations

An investment in the ETNs involves risks, including the possible loss of part or all of your investment. The selected risk factors herein are not intended as a complete description of all risks associated with the ETNs. For further information regarding risks, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement. The ETNs may not be a suitable investment for you if you are not willing to be exposed to fluctuations in the level of the relevant underlying index; you seek a guaranteed return of principal; you believe the level of the relevant underlying index will decrease or will not increase by an amount sufficient to offset the applicable fees, including any fees associated with leveraged exposure, if applicable; you prefer the lower risk and therefore accept the potentially lower returns of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings; you seek current income from your investment. Furthermore, if your investment in the ETNs reflects a leveraged exposure to the performance of the relevant underlying index, such ETNs should be purchased only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of investing in such index and seeking such leveraged investment results. Although the ETNs are each listed on the NYSE ARCA, a trading market may not continue for the term of the ETNs; we are not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs on NYSE Arca or any other exchange or quotation system. In addition, although the return on the ETNs will be linked to the performance of the relevant underlying index, the payment of any amount due on the ETNs, including any payment at maturity, is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse.

Credit Suisse AG ("Credit Suisse") has filed a registration statement (including the prospectus supplement and prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for the offering of the ETNs.
