General

•

The securities are designed for investors who are mildly bearish, neutral or mildly bullish on the Reference Shares. Investors should be willing to forgo the potential to participate in any appreciation of the Reference Shares, be willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the common stock of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. in particular, and be willing to lose some or all of their investment. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

•	Interest will be paid quarterly in arrears at a rate expected to be between 11.00% and 14.00% per annum (between approximately 5.50% and 7.00% over the term of the securities) (to be determined on the Trade Date), subject to Automatic Redemption. Interest will be calculated on a 30/360 basis.

•

If a Trigger Event occurs, the securities will be automatically redeemed on the immediately following Interest Payment Date for a cash payment equal to 100% of the principal amount of your securities, together with interest payable on that Interest Payment Date. The first Observation Date is January 3, 2012. Therefore, the earliest date on which the securities may be subject to Automatic Redemption is January 6, 2012. No interest will accrue or be payable following an Automatic Redemption.

•	Senior unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse AG, acting through its Nassau Branch, maturing April 6, 2012.†

•	Minimum purchase of $1,000. Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 1053092. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Credit Suisse.

This pricing supplement, 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, fact sheets, 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 “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement, as the securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. You should consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before deciding to invest in the securities.

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts at Maturity

The table and examples below illustrate hypothetical Redemption Amounts payable at maturity for a $1,000 principal amount of securities for a hypothetical range of performance of the Reference Shares. The table and the examples below assume a hypothetical Initial Share Price of $99.00, a Knock-In Price of $49.50, a share adjustment factor of 1.0, that the term of the securities is exactly six months and that the securities are not subject to Automatic Redemption. The table and examples are intended to illustrate hypothetical calculations of only the Redemption Amount and do not illustrate the calculation or payment of any interest payment. The Redemption Amounts set forth below are provided for illustration purposes only. The actual Redemption Amount applicable to a purchase of the securities will depend on whether, at any time on any trading day during the Observation Period, the price of the Reference Shares is less than or equal to the Knock-In Price. It is not possible to predict whether the securities will be automatically redeemed, whether a Knock-In Event will occur or whether the Final Share Price will be less than the Initial Share Price, and in the event that the securities are not automatically redeemed and a Knock-In Event does occur, whether and by how much the Final Share Price will decrease in comparison to the Initial Share Price. The numbers appearing in the table and the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

If the securities are not automatically redeemed, a Knock-In Event occurs and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, you will be entitled to receive on the Maturity Date a Redemption Amount per $1,000 principal amount of securities that will consist of a whole number of Reference Shares plus an amount in cash corresponding to any fractional Reference Share. If the fractional share amount to be paid in cash is a de minimis amount, as determined by the calculation agent, the holder will not receive such amount.

The value of any such Redemption Amount on the Valuation Date will be less than $1,000 and may fluctuate, possibly decreasing, in the period between the Valuation Date and the Maturity Date. If the securities are not automatically redeemed, a Knock-In Event occurs and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, you could lose your entire investment in the securities.

The hypothetical Redemption Amounts in the table and examples below do not reflect any interest payments on the securities. A holder of the securities will be entitled to receive interest payable on the securities in cash regardless of whether or not a Knock-In Event occurs.

9.90	−90.00%	N/A	N/A	−90.00%	10 shares + $1.00

The following examples illustrate how the Redemption Amount is calculated. Regardless of the performance of the Reference Shares or the payment you receive at maturity, you will be entitled to receive interest payments on each of the Interest Payment Dates.

Example 1: The Final Share Price of $99 is equal to the Initial Share Price of $99 and a Knock-In Event occurs. Since the Final Share Price is equal to the Initial Share Price, the Redemption Amount is equal to the principal amount even though a Knock-In Event has occurred, and the investor is entitled to receive at maturity a payment in cash equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of securities.

Example 2: The price of the Reference Shares decreases from the Initial Share Price of $99 to a Final Share Price of $88.20 and a Knock-In Event does not occur. Since a Knock-In Event has not occurred during the Observation Period, the Redemption Amount is equal to the principal amount even though the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price and the investor is entitled to receive at maturity a payment in cash equal to $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of securities.

Example 3: The price of the Reference Shares decreases from the Initial Share Price of $99 to a Final Share Price of $49.50 and a Knock-In Event does occur. Since a Knock-In Event has occurred during the Observation Period and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, the Redemption Amount is equal to the Physical Delivery Amount, calculated as follows:

Physical Delivery Amount	=	$1,000 / Initial Share Price	+	plus a cash amount equal to the proportion of the Final Share Price corresponding to any fractional share
	=	$1,000 / $99 + cash amount
	=	10 Reference Shares (10.1010101 rounded down) + (0.1010101 × $49.50)
	=	10 Reference Shares + $5.00

In this example, at maturity an investor would be entitled to receive a Redemption Amount consisting of 10 Reference Shares and a cash payment of $5.00. The value of the Redemption Amount on the Valuation Date, which is the date on which the Final Share Price is determined, is $700, calculated as follows:

Value of Redemption Amount	=	(10 Reference Shares × Final Share Price) + $5.00
	=	(10 Reference Shares × $49.50) + $5.00
	=	$495.00 + $5.00
	=	$500.00

In these circumstances, the investor will participate in any depreciation in the price of the Reference Shares from the Initial Share Price to the Final Share Price.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Shares. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement.

•

YOU MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY — You may receive less at maturity than you originally invested in the securities, or you may receive nothing, excluding any accrued and unpaid interest. If the securities are not subject to Automatic Redemption, the price of the Reference Shares is less or equal to the Knock-In Price at any time on any trading day during the Observation Period and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Reference Shares. 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. It is not possible to predict whether a Knock-In Event will occur, and in the event that there is a Knock-In Event and the securities are not subject to Automatic Redemption, whether and by how much the Final Share Price will decrease in comparison to the Initial Share Price. Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

•

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 Reference Shares, the payment of any amount due on the securities, including any applicable interest payment, payment at maturity or Automatic Redemption payment, is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. Investors are dependent 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.

•

THE REDEMPTION AMOUNT WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE KNOCK-IN PRICE AND THE OCCURRENCE OF A KNOCK-IN EVENT — If the price of the Reference Shares is less than or equal to the Knock-In Price at any time on any trading day during the Observation Period, a Knock-In Event will occur. If the securities are not subject to Automatic Redemption, a Knock-In Event occurs and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, the Redemption Amount will consist of a number of Reference Shares plus an amount in cash corresponding to any fractional share, as described above. Under these circumstances, the Redemption Amount will be significantly less than the principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

•

THE SECURITIES WILL NOT PAY MORE THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, PLUS ACCRUED AND UNPAID INTEREST — The securities will not pay more than the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, at maturity or upon Automatic Redemption. If the closing price of the Reference Shares on either Observation Date is greater than the Initial Share Price, the securities will be automatically redeemed and you will not benefit from any appreciation, which may be significant, in the price of the Reference Shares. Under these circumstances, you will be entitled to receive a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of securities that you hold, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Assuming the securities are not automatically redeemed, are held to maturity and the term of the securities is exactly six months, the maximum amount payable with respect to the securities is expected to be between $1,055 and $1,070 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000 principal amount of the securities.

•

IF THE REDEMPTION AMOUNT CONSISTS OF THE PHYSICAL DELIVERY AMOUNT, THE VALUE OF SUCH REDEMPTION AMOUNT COULD BE LESS ON THE MATURITY DATE THAN ON THE VALUATION DATE — If the securities are not automatically redeemed, a Knock-In Event occurs and the Final Share Price is less than the Initial Share Price, you will be entitled to receive the Physical Delivery Amount on the Maturity Date which will consist of a whole number of Reference Shares plus an amount in cash corresponding to any fractional share. The value of the Physical Delivery Amount on the Valuation Date will be less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of securities and could fluctuate, possibly decreasing, in the period between the Valuation Date and the Maturity Date. We will make no adjustments to the Physical Delivery Amount to account for any such fluctuation and you will bear the risk of any decrease in the value of the Physical Delivery Amount between the Valuation Date and the Maturity Date.

•

THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO A POTENTIAL AUTOMATIC EARLY REDEMPTION, WHICH WOULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO ACCRUE INTEREST OVER THE FULL TERM OF THE SECURITIES — The securities will be automatically redeemed on any Interest Payment Date if the closing price of the Reference Shares is greater than the Initial Share Price on the corresponding Observation Date. If the securities are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you will be entitled to receive the principal amount of your securities and any accrued but unpaid interest payable on that Interest Payment Date. In this case, you will lose the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest from the date of Automatic Redemption 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.

•

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.

•

NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE REFERENCE SHARES — You return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Reference Shares. The return on your investment, which is based on the percentage change in the Reference Shares, is not the same as the total return based on a purchase of the Reference Shares.

•

NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the securities, you will not have any ownership interest or rights in the Reference Shares, such as voting rights or dividend payments. In addition, the issuer of the Reference Shares will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the securities in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the Reference Shares and therefore, the value of the securities.

•

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. We and/or our affiliates may also currently or from time to time engage in business with the Reference Share Issuer, including extending loans to, or making equity investments in, the Reference Share Issuer or providing advisory services to the Reference Share Issuer. In addition, one or more of our affiliates may publish research reports or otherwise express opinions with respect to the Reference Share Issuer and these reports may or may not recommend that investors buy or hold the Reference Shares. As a prospective purchaser of the securities, you should undertake an independent investigation of the Reference Share Issuer that in your judgment is appropriate to make an informed decision with respect to an investment in the securities.

•

ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make anti-dilution adjustments for certain events affecting the Reference Shares. However, an adjustment will not be required in response to all events that could affect the Reference Shares. 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. See “Description of the Securities—Adjustments” in the accompanying product supplement.

•

MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — In addition to the price of the Reference Shares 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 Reference Shares;

the time to maturity of the securities;

the Automatic Redemption feature, which would limit the value of the securities;

the dividend rate on the Reference Shares;

interest and yield rates in the market generally;

events affecting companies engaged in the global investment banking, securities and investment management industry;

geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the Reference Share Issuer or markets generally and which may affect the price of the Reference Shares; 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.

Supplemental 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 Reference Shares 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 graph sets forth the historical performance of the Reference Shares based on the closing prices of the Reference Shares from June 23, 2011 through September 26, 2011. The closing price of the Reference Shares on September 26, 2011 was $99.14. We obtained the closing prices below from Bloomberg, without independent verification. The closing prices and this other information may be adjusted by Bloomberg for corporate actions such as public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and bankruptcy.

The price source for determining the Final Share Price will be the Bloomberg page “GS UN” or any successor page.

The historical prices of the Reference Shares should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the price of the Reference Shares at any time on any trading day during the Observation Period, including on the Valuation Date. The price of the Reference Shares may decrease so that a Knock-In Event occurs and at maturity you will be entitled to receive a Redemption Amount that is less than the principal amount of the securities. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Reference Shares will result in the return of any of your initial investment.

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 0.3925%, and the remaining balance constitutes the Option Premium (as defined in the accompanying product supplement).
