Strategy Focus

n The strategy is designed to capture the difference in return of a long portfolio of stocks versus a short portfolio of stocks.

n Potential gains may be realized if the long portfolio outperforms the short portfolio.

n Both the long and short portfolios are region and sector neutral and are constructed using the HOLT^TM selection framework.

Index Overview

n The HS Market Neutral Index Powered by HOLT^TM uses a strategy intended to achieve stable returns while reducing risk. The index reflects the difference in return between two equally weighted constituent sub-indices, the Long Total Return Index (the “long index”) and the Short Total Return Index (the “short index”).

n Each sub-index contains approximately 75 component stocks (the “index components”), which are selected from a universe of 750 stocks consisting of the top 275 North American stocks by market capitalization, the top 300 European stocks by market capitalization and liquidity and the top 175 Japanese stocks by market capitalization as identified from the HOLT^TM database, which currently includes approximately 20,000 stocks.

n The stocks are then grouped into 10 sectors and ranked using the HOLT^TM stock selection framework. The long index is constructed by selecting stocks of companies with a proportion rank of less than or equal to 10% of each sector and with a proportion rank of less than or equal to 34% within each region and sector. The short index is constructed by pairing the selected longs with the lowest ranked stocks in the same sector and region to ensure market neutrality.

Selected Investment Considerations

–   The ETNs do not have a payment at maturity or daily repurchase value and are fully exposed to any decline in the Index. Furthermore, the return at maturity or upon repurchase will be reduced by the fees associated with the ETNs and the borrow cost factor embedded in the Index. Therefore, the level of the Index must increase by an amount sufficient, to offset the applicable fees.

–   You will not receive any periodic interest payments on the ETNs.

–   We have listed the ETNs on NYSE Arca under the symbol “CSMN”. We expect that investors will purchase and sell the ETNs primarily in this secondary market. We have no obligation to maintain this listing on NYSE Arca or any listing on any other exchange, and may delist the ETNs at any time.

–   The indicative value of the ETNs is not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which you may be able to sell your ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the indicative value of such ETNs at such time. Before trading in the secondary market, you should compare the indicative value with the then-prevailing trading price of the ETNs.

–   Although the return on the ETNs will be based on the performance of the Index, the payment of any amount due on the ETNs, including any payment upon repurchase or at maturity, is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse.

Investors are dependent on Credit Suisse’s ability to pay all amounts due on the ETNs, 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 ETNs prior to maturity.

–   The performance of the Index may not be entirely representative of the performance of the market neutral strategy and there is no assurance that the strategy on which the Index is based will be successful.

–   Tax consequences of the ETNs are uncertain and potential investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the ETNs.

–   We have the right to repurchase your ETNs in whole but not in part on any business day during the term of the ETNs. The amount you may receive upon a repurchase by Credit Suisse may be less than the amount you would receive on your investment at maturity or if you had elected to have us repurchase your ETNs at a time of your choosing.

–   We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the ETNs, including acting as Calculation Agent and as agent of the Issuer for the offering of the ETNs, and hedging our obligations under the ETNs. The Calculation Agent will, among other things, decide the amount of the return paid out to you on your ETNs at maturity or upon redemption or acceleration. In performing these duties, the economic interests of us and our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the ETNs.

An investment in the ETNs involves significant risks. The selected investment considerations 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.
