6 Year Digital-Plus Buffered Notes

Additional Risk Considerations

Prior to maturity, costs such as concessions and hedging may affect the value of the securities.
Credit Suisse currently estimates 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
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. 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.
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 as agent of 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, and judicial 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.

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.
