Investments Credit Suisse $3,055,000 12.00% Contingent Coupon Autocallable Yield Notes due December 21, 2016 Linked to the Performance of the Common Shares of Magna International Inc.

General

• The securities, which we refer to as the “notes,” are designed for investors who are mildly bearish or neutral on the Underlying. Investors should be willing to lose some or all of their investment if a Knock-In Event occurs. Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

• Subject to Automatic Redemption, if a Coupon Barrier Event does not occur on an Observation Date, we will pay a contingent coupon of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes on the immediately following Contingent Coupon Payment Date. If a Coupon Barrier Event occurs, no contingent coupon will be paid on the immediately following Contingent Coupon Payment Date. Contingent coupons should not be viewed as ordinary periodic interest payments.

• If a Trigger Event occurs, the notes will be automatically redeemed and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the notes you hold and the contingent coupon payable, if any, on the corresponding Contingent Coupon Payment Date. No further payments will be made in respect of the notes.

• Senior unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse AG, acting through its London branch, maturing December 21, 2016.^†

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

• The notes priced on December 4, 2015 (the “Pricing Date”) and are expected to settle on December 9, 2015 (the “Settlement Date”). Delivery of the notes in book-entry form only will be made through The Depository Trust Company.

(continued from previous page)

Redemption Amount: At maturity, the Redemption Amount you will be entitled to receive will depend on the performance of the Underlying and whether a Knock-In Event occurs. Subject to Automatic Redemption, the Redemption Amount will be determined as follows:

• If a Knock-In Event occurs, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the notes you hold multiplied by the sum of one plus the Underlying Return. In this case, the Redemption Amount will be less than $770 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. You could lose your entire investment.

• If a Knock-In Event does not occur, the Redemption Amount will equal the principal amount of the notes you hold.

	Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
Automatic Redemption:	If a Trigger Event occurs, the notes will be automatically redeemed and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the notes you hold (the “Automatic Redemption Amount”) and the contingent coupon payable on the corresponding Contingent Coupon Payment Date. No further payments will be made in respect of the notes. Payment will be made in respect of such Automatic Redemption on the Contingent Coupon Payment Date immediately following the relevant Observation Date (the “Automatic Redemption Date”). Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
Trigger Event:	A Trigger Event will occur on any Observation Date if the Observation Level applicable to such Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Trigger Level.
Trigger Level:	As set forth in the table above.
Knock-In Event:	A Knock-In Event will occur if the Final Level is less than the Knock-In Level.
Knock-In Level:	As set forth in the table above.

Underlying Return: The Underlying Return will be calculated as follows:

                                                Final Level − Initial Level
                                              Initial Level , subject to a maximum of zero

Initial Level:	As set forth in the table above.
Final Level:	The arithmetic average of the closing levels of the Underlying on each of the five Valuation Dates.
Observation Dates:†	March 17, 2016, June 16, 2016, September 15, 2016 and the Final Valuation Date.
Valuation Dates:†	December 12, 2016, December 13, 2016, December 14, 2016, December 15, 2016 and December 16, 2016 (each a “Valuation Date” and December 16, 2016, the “Final Valuation Date”)

Hypothetical Redemption Amounts and Total Payments on the Notes

The tables and examples below illustrate, for a $1,000 investment in the notes, hypothetical Redemption Amounts payable at maturity for a hypothetical range of Underlying Returns and, in the case of Table 2, total contingent coupon payments over the term of the notes, which will depend on the number of Coupon Barrier Events that have occurred over the term of the notes. The tables and examples below assume that (i) if a Coupon Barrier Event does not occur on an Observation Date, a contingent coupon of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes will be paid on the immediately following Contingent Coupon Payment Date, (ii) the notes are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, (iii) the term of the notes is exactly 1 year (iv) the Coupon Barrier Level and the Knock-In Level are 77% of the Initial Level and (v) the Trigger Level is 100% of the Initial Level. The actual Contingent Coupon Rate, Coupon Barrier Level and Knock-In Level are set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement. The examples are intended to illustrate hypothetical calculations of only the Redemption Amount and do not illustrate the calculation or payment of any individual contingent coupon payment.

The hypothetical Redemption Amounts and total contingent coupon payments set forth below are for illustrative purposes only. The actual Redemption Amounts and total contingent coupon payments applicable to a purchaser of the notes will depend on the number of Coupon Barrier Events that have occurred over the term of the notes, whether a Knock-In Event occurs and on the Final Level. It is not possible to predict when and how many Coupon Barrier Events will occur, if any, or whether a Knock-In Event will occur, and, in the event that there is a Knock-In Event, by how much the level of the Underlying has decreased from the Initial Level to the Final Level. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict whether a Trigger Event will occur. If a Trigger Event occurs, the notes will be automatically redeemed for a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the notes you hold and the contingent coupon payable and no further payments will be made in respect of the notes.

You will not be entitled to participate in any appreciation in the Underlying. You should consider carefully whether the notes are suitable to your investment goals. Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. The numbers appearing in the tables and examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

TABLE 1: Hypothetical Redemption Amounts

Percentage Change from the Initial Level to the Final Level	Underlying Return	Redemption Amount (excluding contingent coupon payments, if any)	Total Contingent Coupon Payments
−1.00%	−1.00%	$1,000.00	(See table below)
−10.00%	−10.00%	$1,000.00
−20.00%	−20.00%	$1,000.00
−23.00%	−23.00%	$1,000.00
−24.00%	−24.00%	$760.00
−30.00%	−30.00%	$700.00
−40.00%	−40.00%	$600.00
−50.00%	−50.00%	$500.00
−60.00%	−60.00%	$400.00
−70.00%	−70.00%	$300.00
−80.00%	−80.00%	$200.00
−90.00%	−90.00%	$100.00
−100.00%	−100.00%	$0.00

TABLE 2: The expected total contingent coupon payments will depend on how many Coupon Barrier Events occur.

Number of Coupon Barrier Events	Total Contingent Coupon Payments
A Coupon Barrier Event does not occur	$120.00
A Coupon Barrier Event occurs on 1 Observation Date	$90.00
A Coupon Barrier Event occurs on 2 Observation Dates	$60.00
A Coupon Barrier Event occurs on 3 Observation Dates	$30.00
A Coupon Barrier Event occurs on 4 Observation Dates	$0.00

The total payment on the notes will be equal to the Redemption Amount applicable to an investor plus the total contingent coupon payments on the notes.

The following examples illustrate how the Redemption Amount is calculated.

2 

Example 1: A Knock-In Event occurs because the Final Level of the Underlying is less than the Knock-In Level.

Reference Share	Final Level
MGA	50% of Initial Level

Since the Final Level is less than the Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event occurs.

Therefore, the Underlying Return will equal:

Final Level – Initial Level

Initial Level

= −0.50

The Redemption Amount = principal amount of the notes × (1 + Underlying Return)

= $1,000 × (1 – 0.50) = $500

Example 2: A Knock-In Event does not occur because the Final Level of the Underlying is greater than the Knock-In Level.

Reference Share	Final Level
MGA	90% of Initial Level

Since the Final Level is not less than the Knock-In Level, a Knock-In Event does not occur.

Therefore, the Redemption Amount equals $1,000.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying. 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 — If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you may receive less at maturity than you originally invested in the notes, or you may receive nothing, excluding any applicable contingent coupons. If the Final Level is less than the Knock-In Level, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Underlying. In this case, the Redemption Amount you will be entitled to receive will be less than the principal amount of the notes, 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, by how much the level of the Underlying has decreased from its Initial Level to its Final Level. Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

• THE NOTES DO NOT PROVIDE FOR REGULAR FIXED INTEREST PAYMENTS — Unlike conventional debt securities, the notes do not provide for regular fixed interest payments. The number of contingent coupon payments you receive over the term of the notes, if any, will depend on the performance of the Underlying during the term of the notes and the number of Coupon Barrier Events that occur. Contingent coupons should not be viewed as ordinary periodic interest payments. If a Coupon Barrier Event occurs on an Observation Date, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment on the Contingent Coupon Payment Date immediately following such Observation Date. Accordingly, if a Coupon Barrier Event occurs on every Observation Date, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments during the term of the notes. Thus, the notes are not a suitable investment for investors who require regular fixed income payments, since the number of contingent coupon payments are variable and may be zero.

In addition, if rates generally increase over the term of the notes, it is more likely that the contingent coupon, if any, could be less than the yield one might receive based on market rates at that time. This would have the further effect of decreasing the value of your notes both nominally in terms of below-market coupon payments and in real value terms. Furthermore, it is possible that you will not receive some or all of the contingent coupon payments over the term of the notes, and still lose your principal amount. Even if you do receive some or all of your principal amount at maturity, you will not be compensated for the time value of money. These notes are not short-term investments, so you should carefully consider these risks before investing.

• THE HIGHER POTENTIAL YIELD OFFERED BY THE NOTES IS ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER RISK THAT THE NOTES WILL NOT PAY A CONTINGENT COUPON ON ONE OR MORE OF THE CONTINGENT COUPON PAYMENT DATES OR THAT YOU MIGHT LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT AT MATURITY — The notes offer contingent coupon payments with the potential to result in a higher yield than the yield on our conventional debt securities of the same maturity. You should understand that, in exchange for this potentially higher yield, you will be exposed to significantly greater risks than investors in our conventional debt securities. These risks include (i) the risk that the number of contingent coupon payments you receive over the term of the notes, if any, will result in a below-market yield that is lower, and perhaps significantly lower, than the yield on our conventional debt securities of the same maturity and (ii) the risk that you might lose some or all of your principal amount at maturity if a Knock-In Event occurs. The volatility of the Underlying is an important factor affecting these risks. Greater expected volatility of the Underlying as of the Pricing Date may contribute to the higher yield potential, but would also represent a greater expected likelihood that you will receive only a few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the notes and lose some or all of your principal at maturity.

• THE NOTES WILL NOT PAY MORE THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, PLUS CONTINGENT COUPON, IF ANY, AT MATURITY OR UPON AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION — The notes will not pay more than the principal amount, plus contingent coupon, if any, at maturity or upon Automatic Redemption. Even if the Final Level is greater than the Initial Level, you will not participate in the appreciation of the Underlying. Assuming the notes are held to maturity and the term of the securities

4 

is exactly 1 year, the maximum amount payable with respect to the notes is $1,120 for each $1,000 principal amount of the notes.

• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT RISK OF CREDIT SUISSE —Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes and, therefore, if we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities. 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 notes prior to maturity.

· THE AVERAGING CONVENTION USED TO CALCULATE THE FINAL SHARE PRICE COULD REDUCE THE REDEMPTION AMOUNT — Your investment in the notes may not perform as well as an investment in an instrument that measures the point-to-point performance of the Underlying from the Pricing Date to the Final Valuation Date. For example, if the closing level of the Underlying on the first four Valuation Dates is lower than the closing level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date and a Knock-In Event occurs, you will receive less at maturity than you would have received had the notes measured the point-to-point performance of the Underlying from the Pricing Date to the Final Valuation Date.

• THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO A POTENTIAL AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION, WHICH WOULD LIMIT YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BE PAID CONTINGENT COUPONS OVER THE FULL TERM OF THE NOTES —The notes are subject to a potential automatic redemption. If a Trigger Event occurs, the notes will be automatically redeemed and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the principal amount of the notes you hold and the contingent coupon payable on that Contingent Coupon Payment Date, and no further payments will be made in respect of the notes. In this case, you will lose the opportunity to continue to be paid contingent coupons from the date of Automatic Redemption to the scheduled Maturity Date. In addition, any cost effectively borne by you, such as transactions costs, hedging cost and agent’s discounts and commissions (as described below), will not be rebated if the notes are automatically redeemed. If the notes are automatically redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, you may be unable to invest in other securities with a similar level of risk that provide you with the opportunity to be paid the same coupons as the securities.

• NO AFFILIATION WITH THE REFERENCE SHARE ISSUER — We are not affiliated with the Reference Share Issuer. You should make your own investigation into the Underlying and the Reference Share Issuer. In connection with the offering of the securities, neither we nor our affiliates have participated in the preparation of any publicly available documents or made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the Reference Share Issuer.

• HEDGING AND TRADING IN THE REFERENCE SHARES — While the notes are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including in the Underlying or instruments related to the Underlying. We or our affiliates may also trade in the Underlying or instruments related to the Underlying from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities as of the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.

• THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES ON THE PRICING DATE IS LESS THAN THE PRICE TO PUBLIC — The initial estimated value of your notes on the Pricing Date (as determined by reference to our pricing models and our internal funding rate) is less than the original Price to Public. The Price to Public of the notes includes the agent’s discounts or commissions as well as transaction costs such as expenses incurred to create, document and market the notes and the cost of hedging our risks as issuer of the notes through one or more of our affiliates (which includes a projected profit). These costs will be effectively borne by you as an investor in the notes. These amounts will be retained by Credit Suisse or our affiliates in connection with our structuring and offering of the notes (except to the extent discounts or commissions are reallowed to other broker-dealers or any costs are paid to third parties).

On the Pricing Date, we value the components of the notes in accordance with our pricing models. These include a fixed income component valued using our internal funding rate, and individual option components valued using mid-market pricing. Our option valuation models are proprietary. Our pricing models take into account factors such as interest rates, volatility and time to maturity of the

5 

notes, and they rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.

Because Credit Suisse’s pricing models may differ from other issuers’ valuation models, and because funding rates taken into account by other issuers may vary materially from the rates used by Credit Suisse (even among issuers with similar creditworthiness), our estimated value at any time may not be comparable to estimated values of similar notes of other issuers.

• EFFECT OF INTEREST RATE USED IN STRUCTURING THE notes — The internal funding rate we use in structuring notes such as these notes is typically lower than the interest rate that is reflected in the yield on our conventional debt notes of similar maturity in the secondary market (our “secondary market credit spreads”).  If on the Pricing Date our internal funding rate is lower than our secondary market credit spreads, we expect that the economic terms of the notes will generally be less favorable to you than they would have been if our secondary market credit spread had been used in structuring the notes. We will also use our internal funding rate to determine the price of the notes if we post a bid to repurchase your notes in secondary market transactions. See “—Secondary Market Prices” below.

• SECONDARY MARKET PRICES  — If Credit Suisse (or an affiliate) bids for your notes in secondary market transactions, which we are not obligated to do, the secondary market price (and the value used for account statements or otherwise) may be higher or lower than the Price to Public and the estimated value of the notes on the Pricing Date. The estimated value of the notes on the cover of this pricing supplement does not represent a minimum price at which we would be willing to buy the notes in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The secondary market price of your notes at any time cannot be predicted and will reflect the then-current estimated value determined by reference to our pricing models and other factors. These other factors include our internal funding rate, customary bid and ask spreads and other transaction costs, changes in market conditions and any deterioration or improvement in our creditworthiness. In circumstances where our internal funding rate is lower than our secondary market credit spreads, our secondary market bid for your notes could be more favorable than what other dealers might bid because, assuming all else equal, we use the lower internal funding rate to price the notes and other dealers might use the higher secondary market credit spread to price them.Furthermore, assuming no change in market conditions from the Pricing Date, the secondary market price of your notes will be lower than the Price to Public because it will not include the agent’s discounts or commissions and hedging and other transaction costs. If you sell your notes to a dealer in a secondary market transaction, the dealer may impose an additional discount or commission, and as a result the price you receive on your notes may be lower than the price at which we may repurchase the notes from such dealer.

We (or an affiliate) may initially post a bid to repurchase the notes from you at a price that will exceed the then-current estimated value of the notes. That higher price reflects our projected profit and costs that were included in the Price to Public, and that higher price may also be initially used for account statements or otherwise. We (or our affiliate) may offer to pay this higher price, for your benefit, but the amount of any excess over the then-current estimated value will be temporary and is expected to decline over a period of approximately 90 days.

The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments and any sale prior to maturity could result in a substantial loss to you. You should be willing and able to hold your notes to maturity.

• CREDIT SUISSE IS SUBJECT TO SWISS REGULATION — As a Swiss bank, Credit Suisse is subject to regulation by governmental agencies, supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations in Switzerland. Such regulation is increasingly more extensive and complex and subjects Credit Suisse to risks. For example, pursuant to Swiss banking laws, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) may open resolution proceedings if there are justified concerns that Credit Suisse is over-indebted, has serious liquidity problems or no longer fulfills capital adequacy requirements. FINMA has broad powers and discretion in the case of resolution proceedings, which include the power to convert debt instruments and other liabilities of Credit Suisse into equity and/or cancel such liabilities in whole or in part. If one or more of these measures were imposed, such measures may adversely affect the terms and market value of the notes and/or the

6 

ability of Credit Suisse to make payments thereunder and you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes.

• LACK OF LIQUIDITY — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the notes 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 notes when you wish to do so. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) is willing to buy the notes. If you have to sell your notes 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 notes, including acting as calculation agent, hedging our obligations under the notes and determining their estimated value. In performing these duties, the economic interests of us and our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. Further, hedging activities may adversely affect any payment on or the value of the notes. Any profit in connection with such hedging activities will be in addition to any other compensation that we and our affiliates receive for the sale of the notes, which creates an additional incentive to sell the notes to you. 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 Underlying. As a prospective purchaser of the notes, 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 notes.

• MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES — In addition to the level of the Underlying, the value of the notes may be influenced by factors such as:

o the expected volatility of the Underlying;

o the time to maturity of the notes;

o the Automatic Redemption feature, which would limit the value of the notes;

o the dividend rate on the Underlying;

o interest and yield rates in the market generally;

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

o events affecting companies engaged in the automotive industry;

o geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlying or markets generally and which may affect the level of the Underlying; and

o 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 notes 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 OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE UNDERLYING — Your return on the notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of the Underlying. The return on your investment, which is based on the percentage change in the level of the Underlying, is not the same as the total return based on a purchase of the shares of the Underlying.

7 

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

• ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make anti-dilution adjustments for certain events affecting the Underlying. However, an adjustment will not be required in response to all events that could affect the Underlying. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, or if an adjustment is made but such adjustment does not fully reflect the economics of such event, the value of the notes may be materially and adversely affected. See “Description of the Securities—Adjustments—For equity securities of a reference share issuer” in the accompanying product supplement.

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 notes may be used in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion summarizes material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the notes that may be relevant to holders of the notes that acquire their notes from us as part of the original issuance of the notes. This discussion applies only to holders that hold their notes as capital assets within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Further, this discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances or if you are subject to special rules, such as if you are:

· a financial institution,

· a mutual fund,

· a tax-exempt organization,

· a grantor trust,

· certain U.S. expatriates,

· an insurance company,

· a dealer or trader in securities or foreign currencies,

· a person (including traders in securities) using a mark-to-market method of accounting,

· a person who holds the notes as a hedge or as part of a straddle with another position, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction, or

· an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The discussion is based upon the Code, law, regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences to you of owning and disposing of the notes, including the application of federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws based on your particular facts and circumstances.

Characterization of the Notes

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the notes or securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of your notes. Thus, the characterization of the notes is not certain. Due to the terms of the notes and the uncertainty of the tax law with respect to the characterization of the notes, our special tax counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, is unable to opine on the characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but believes that it is reasonable to treat the notes as prepaid financial contracts with respect to the underlying that are eligible for open transaction treatment in part. In the absence of an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, we intend to treat the notes and, by acceptance of the notes, you agree to treat the notes for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. The possible alternative characterizations and risks to investors of such characterizations are discussed below. In light of the fact that we agree to treat the notes as prepaid financial contracts, the balance of this discussion assumes that the notes will be so treated.

Alternative Characterizations of the Notes

You should be aware that the characterization of the notes as described above is not certain, nor is it binding on the IRS or the courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your notes in a manner that results in tax consequences to you that are different from those described below. For example, the IRS might characterize a note as a notional principal contract (an “NPC”). In general, payments on an NPC are accrued ratably (as ordinary income or deduction, as the case may be) over the period to which they relate regardless of an investor’s usual method of tax accounting. Payments made to terminate an NPC (other than perhaps a final scheduled payment) are capital in nature. Deductions for NPC payments may be limited in certain cases. Certain payments under an NPC may be treated as U.S. source income. The IRS might successfully assert that one or more of the underlying is a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) and that the constructive ownership

10 

transaction rules of Code section 1260 apply. See “Constructive Ownership Transaction and Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” below. The IRS might also also seek to characterize your notes as options, and thus as Code section 1256 contracts in the event that they are listed on a securities exchange. In such case, the notes would be marked-to-market at the end of the year and 40% of any gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss, and the remaining 60% of any gain or loss would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If the underlying shares are a non-U.S. company, including American Depository Shares (“ADSs”), the IRS could also characterize your note as an option on a PFIC. If the notes have a term of one year or less, it is also possible that the IRS would assert that the notes constitute short-term debt obligations. Under Treasury regulations, a short-term debt obligation is treated as issued at a discount equal to the difference between all payments on the obligation and the obligation’s issue price. A cash method U.S. Holder that does not elect to accrue the discount in income currently should include the payments attributable to interest on the note as income upon receipt. Under these rules, any contingent payment would be taxable upon receipt by a cash basis taxpayer as ordinary interest income. If the notes have a term of more than one year, the IRS might assert that the notes constitute debt instruments that are “contingent payment debt instruments” that are subject to special tax rules under the applicable Treasury regulations governing the recognition of income over the term of your notes. If the notes were to be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, you would be required to include in income on an economic accrual basis over the term of the notes an amount of interest that is based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to your notes (the comparable yield). The characterization of the notes as contingent payment debt instruments under these rules is likely to be adverse. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the possible tax consequences of characterization of the notes as debt instruments. We are not responsible for any adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the notes for U.S. federal income tax or other tax purposes.

You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of such characterization and any possible alternative characterizations of your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

U.S. Holders

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, means a beneficial owner of notes that is (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (4) a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) such trust has in effect a valid election to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a partnership (or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of such partnership and a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership, or a partner of a partnership, holding notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you from the partnership’s purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

In accordance with the agreed-upon tax treatment described above, a U.S. Holder will treat any coupon payment received in respect of a note as ordinary income includible in such U.S. Holder’s income in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting. Treatment of receipt of the redemption amount is subject to the discussion below under “Constructive Ownership Transaction and Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” If the notes provide for the payment of the redemption amount in cash based on the return of the Underlying, upon receipt of the redemption amount of the notes from us, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received from us and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the notes at that time. For notes with a term of more than one year, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the notes for more than one year at maturity. For notes with a term of one year or less, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. If the notes provides for the payment of the redemption amount in physical shares or units of the Underlying, the U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss with respect to the notes (other than with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares or units, as described below). A U.S. Holder should have a tax basis in all physical shares or units received (including for this purpose any fractional shares or units) equal to its tax basis in the notes (generally its cost). A U.S. Holder’s holding period for any physical shares or units received should start on the day after the delivery of the physical shares or units. A U.S. Holder should generally recognize short-term capital gain or loss with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares or

11 

units in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of such cash received and the U.S. Holder’s basis in the fractional shares or units, which should be equal to the U.S. Holder’s basis in all of the physical shares or units (including the fractional shares or units), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the fractional shares or units and the denominator of which is all of the physical shares or units (including fractional shares or units).

Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of a note, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the note (generally its cost). For notes with a term of more than one year (and subject to the discussion below under “Constructive Ownership Transaction and Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”), such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the note for more than one year at the time of disposition. For notes with a term of one year or less, such gain or loss will be short-term capital gain or loss. It is possible that a portion of the amount realized from the sale or taxable disposition of the notes prior to the payment date attributable to an expected coupon could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this possibility and the consequences of such treatment to you.

Constructive Ownership Transaction and Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

All or a portion of gain arising from certain “constructive ownership transactions” may be recharacterized as ordinary income, and certain interest charges may be imposed with respect to any such recharacterized income. These rules by their terms may apply to any gain derived from the notes if the notes reference an equity interest in a “pass-thru entity” within the meaning of Code section 1260, which includes shares in an exchange traded fund or a PFIC. If the term of the notes is one year or greater and the underlying includes an equity interest in a non-U.S. company, including ADSs, the IRS might assert that one or more underlying is a PFIC and that the constructive ownership transaction rules of Code section 1260 apply.

If the notes are treated as a constructive ownership transaction, any gain therefrom that otherwise would be long-term capital gain in excess of the “net underlying long-term capital gain” will be treated as ordinary income, and an interest charge will apply as if such income had accrued for tax purposes at a constant yield over the term of the notes. There is a presumption that all of the gain realized that otherwise would have been long-term capital gain is subject to recharacterization as ordinary income and an interest charge, unless the contrary is demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence. Accordingly, any gain a U.S. Holder realizes from the sale, exchange or redemption of its notes in excess of the amount of long-term capital gain that it can establish that it would have realized had it (1) invested in the underlying (rather than the notes) on the issue date of the notes, and (2) sold the underlying on the date of sale, exchange or redemption of the notes, could be recharacterized as ordinary income and subject to an interest charge, as described above.

Code section 1260 also provides that the U.S. Department of the Treasury is to issue regulations that would exclude from the scope of Code section 1260 certain forward contracts that do not convey “substantially all of the economic return” with respect to the applicable reference asset, which in the case of the notes would be all or a portion of the underlying. However, no such regulations have been issued despite the fact that Code section 1260 was enacted in 1999, and there can be no assurance that any regulations that may be issued would apply to notes that are issued before such regulations. Thus, although we believe that the notes should not be considered to convey substantially all the economic return with respect to the underlying, in the absence of regulations, there can be no assurance that the notes would not be so considered or that Code section 1260 would not otherwise apply to the notes.

Additionally, if the notes provide for the payment of the redemption amount in physical shares or units of the underlying and such physical shares or units constitute an ownership interest in a PFIC, U.S. Holders generally would be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences if physical shares or units are received. If the physical shares or units received were to constitute an ownership interest in a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be required to (1) allocate the amount of any “excess distribution” in respect of the PFIC (including any gain realized from the disposition of an interest in the PFIC) ratably to each day in its holding period for the physical shares or units (which, as noted above, would begin on the day after delivery of the physical shares or units), (2) pay tax on the excess distribution at the maximum tax rate in effect for each taxable year to which the excess distribution is allocable, and (3) pay additional tax equal to interest accruing (at the rate charged for underpayments of U.S. federal tax) on the tax determined under (2) above, accruing from (a) the beginning of the due date (without regard to extensions) for the filing of tax returns for the taxable years to which the excess distribution is allocated under (1) above, to (b) the due date for the taxable year in which the excess distribution occurred. Also, if the

12 

physical shares or units received were treated as an ownership interest in a PFIC, an individual U.S. Holder would not get a step-up in tax basis to the fair market value upon the holder’s death. A U.S. Holder would also be required to file IRS Form 8621 for each year in which the U.S. Holder (i) recognizes gain on the direct or indirect disposition of the physical shares, (ii) receives certain direct or indirect distributions from us, or (iii) makes any of certain reportable elections (including a mark-to-market election). In addition, subject to certain exceptions applicable to de minimis shareholdings, each U.S. Holder who is a direct or indirect shareholder of a PFIC is required to file an annual report on IRS Form 8621. This requirement is in addition to other reporting requirements applicable to ownership in a PFIC. Additionally, in the event a U.S. Holder does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. Holder for the related tax year may not close before the date which is three years after the date such form is filed.

You should consult with your tax advisor regarding the possible application of the constructive ownership transaction and PFIC rules to the notes.

Medicare Tax

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, and trusts must pay a 3.8% tax (the “Medicare Tax”) on the lesser of the U.S. Holder’s (1) “net investment income” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust and (2) the excess of modified adjusted gross income over a certain specified threshold for the taxable year. “Net investment income” generally includes income from interest, dividends, and net gains from the disposition of property (such as the notes) unless such income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that is a passive activity with respect to the taxpayer or a trade or business of trading in financial instruments or commodities). Net investment income may be reduced by allowable deductions properly allocable to such gross income or net gain. Any interest earned or deemed earned on the notes and any gain on sale or other taxable disposition of the notes will be subject to the Medicare Tax. If you are an individual, estate, or trust, you should consult with your tax advisor regarding application of the Medicare Tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.

Notes Held Through Foreign Entities

Under certain provisions of the “Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act,” generally referred to as “FATCA,” and regulations thereunder, a 30% withholding tax is imposed on “withholdable payments” and certain “passthru payments” made to “foreign financial institutions” (as defined in the regulations or an applicable intergovernmental agreement) (and their more than 50% affiliates) unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees, among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the institution’s affiliates) and to annually report certain information about such account. The term “withholdable payments” generally includes (1) payments of fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits, and income (“FDAP”), in each case, from sources within the United States, and (2) gross proceeds from the sale of any property of a type which can produce interest or dividends from sources within the United States. “Passthru payments” means any withholdable payment and any foreign passthru payment. To avoid becoming subject to the 30% withholding tax on payments to them, we and other foreign financial institutions may be required to report information to the IRS regarding the holders of the notes and, in the case of holders who (i) fail to provide the relevant information, (ii) are foreign financial institutions who have not agreed to comply with these information reporting requirements, or (iii) hold the notes directly or indirectly through such non-compliant foreign financial institutions, we may be required to withhold on a portion of payments under the notes. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. If payments on the notes are determined to be from sources within the United States, we will treat such payments as withholdable payments for these purposes.

Withholding under FATCA will apply to all withholdable payments and certain passthru payments without regard to whether the beneficial owner of the payment is a U.S. person, or would otherwise be entitled to an exemption from the imposition of withholding tax pursuant to an applicable tax treaty with the United States or pursuant to U.S. domestic law. Unless a foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner of a payment, it will be subject to refund or credit in accordance with the same procedures and limitations applicable to other taxes withheld on FDAP payments provided that the beneficial owner of the payment furnishes such information as the IRS determines is necessary to determine whether such beneficial owner is a U.S.-owned foreign entity and the identity of any substantial U.S. owners of such entity.

13 

Pursuant to the regulations described above and IRS Notice 2015-66, and subject to the exceptions described below, FATCA’s withholding regime generally will apply to (i) withholdable payments (other than gross proceeds of the type described above and certain payments made with respect to a “preexisting obligation,” as defined in the regulations), (ii) payments of gross proceeds of the type described above with respect to a sale or disposition occurring after December 31, 2018, and (iii) foreign passthru payments made after the later of December 31, 2018, or the date that final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are published. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of FATCA discussed above generally will not apply to (a) any obligation (other than an instrument that is treated as equity for U.S. tax purposes or that lacks a stated expiration or term) that is outstanding on July 1, 2014 (a “grandfathered obligation”), (b) any obligation that produces withholdable payments solely because the obligation is treated as giving rise to a dividend equivalent pursuant to Code section 871(m) and the regulations thereunder that is outstanding at any point prior to six months after the date on which obligations of its type are first treated as giving rise to dividend equivalents, and (c) any agreement requiring a secured party to make payments with respect to collateral securing one or more grandfathered obligations (even if the collateral is not itself a grandfathered obligation). Thus, if you hold your notes through a foreign financial institution or foreign entity, a portion of any of your payments may be subject to 30% withholding.

Information Reporting Regarding Specified Foreign Financial Assets

The Code and regulations thereunder generally require individual U.S. Holders (“specified individuals”) and “specified domestic entities” with an interest in any “specified foreign financial asset” to file an annual report on IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset, including the maximum value thereof, for any taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets is greater than $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year. Certain individuals are permitted to have an interest in a higher aggregate value of such assets before being required to file a report. Specified foreign financial assets include, with some limited exceptions, any financial account maintained at a foreign financial institution and any debt or equity interest in a foreign financial institution, including a financial institution organized under the laws of a U.S. possession, and any of the following that are held for investment and not held in an account maintained by a financial institution: (1) any stock or security issued by person other than a U.S. person (including a person organized in a U.S. possession), (2) any financial instrument or contract that has an issuer or counterparty that is other than a U.S. person (including a person organized in a U.S. possession), and (3) any interest in a foreign entity. Additionally, the regulations provide that specified foreign financial assets include certain retirement and pension accounts and non-retirement savings accounts.

Under proposed regulations relating to specified domestic entities that have not yet been adopted as final regulations, “specified domestic entities” are domestic entities that are formed or used for the purposes of holding, directly or indirectly, specified foreign financial assets. Generally, specified domestic entities are certain closely held corporations and partnerships that meet passive income or passive asset tests and, with certain exceptions, domestic trusts that have a specified individual as a current beneficiary and exceed the reporting threshold. Pursuant to an IRS Notice, reporting by domestic entities of interests in specified foreign financial assets will not be required before the date specified by final regulations.

Depending on the aggregate value of your investment in specified foreign financial assets, you may be obligated to file an IRS Form 8938 under this provision if you are an individual U.S. Holder. Penalties apply to any failure to file IRS Form 8938. In the event a U.S. Holder (either a specified individual or specified domestic entity) does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such U.S. Holder for the related tax year may not close before the date which is three years after the date such information is filed. You should consult your tax advisor as to the possible application to you of this information reporting requirement and the related statute of limitations tolling provision.

Non-U.S. Holders Generally

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the coupon payments is unclear. Except as provided under “Notes Held Through Foreign Entities” and “Substitute Dividend and Dividend Equivalent Payments,” we currently do not intend to withhold any tax on any coupon payments made to a holder of the notes that is not a U.S. Holder (a “Non-U.S. Holder”) and that has no connection with the United States other than holding its notes, provided that such Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification requirements. However, it is possible that the IRS could assert that such payments are subject to U.S. withholding tax, or that we or another withholding agent may otherwise determine that withholding is required, in which case we or the other withholding agent may withhold up to 30% on such payments (subject to reduction or elimination of such withholding tax pursuant to an applicable

14 

income tax treaty). We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding.

Except as provided under “Notes Held Through Foreign Entities” and “Substitute Dividend and Dividend Equivalent Payments,” payment of the redemption amount by us in respect to the notes (except to the extent of the coupons) to a Non-U.S. Holder that has no connection with the United States other than holding its notes will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided that such Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification requirements. Any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of the notes by a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless (1) such gain is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of such Non-U.S. Holder or (2) in the case of an individual, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and certain other conditions are met. Any effectively connected gains described in clause (1) above realized by a Non-U.S. Holder that is, or is taxable as, a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Non-U.S. Holders that are subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis with respect to their investment in the notes should refer to the discussion above relating to U.S. Holders.

A Non-U.S. Holder who owns directly, indirectly or constructively, shares of any of the underlying that are considered to be a “United States real property interest” as defined in Treasury Regulations section 1.897-1(c) (a “USRPI”), or other interests having a return based on the appreciation in the value of, or in the gross or net proceeds or profits generated by, such underlying, may be subject to tax on the sale or exchange of the notes if such Non-U.S. Holder owns more than 5% of the shares of such underlying when considering the shares or interests of such underlying that are directly, indirectly or constructively owned by such Non-U.S. Holder. Ownership of the notes may also impact the taxation of such other shares or interests.

Each Non-US Holder, in connection with acquiring the notes, is deemed to represent that it does not own, and will not own, more than 5% of the of the shares of each of the underlying that is considered to be a USRPI, either directly, indirectly or constructively. We and any withholding agent will rely on the accuracy of this representation. For purposes of this discussion, any interest other than solely as a creditor within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-1(d) shall be treated as ownership of shares of the underlying.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors on the impact of other shares or interests in the underlying, the impact of ownership of the notes on such other shares or interests, and the consequences of making the representation in the preceding paragraph.

Substitute Dividend and Dividend Equivalent Payments

The Code and regulations thereunder treat a “dividend equivalent” payment as a dividend from sources within the United States. Unless reduced by an applicable tax treaty with the United States, such payments generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax. A “dividend equivalent” payment is defined under the Code as (i) a substitute dividend payment made pursuant to a securities lending or a sale-repurchase transaction that (directly or indirectly) is contingent upon, or determined by reference to, the payment of a dividend from sources within the United States, (ii) a payment made pursuant to a “specified notional principal contract” (a “specified NPC”) that (directly or indirectly) is contingent upon, or determined by reference to, the payment of a dividend from sources within the United States, and (iii) any other payment determined by the IRS to be substantially similar to a payment described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

Final regulations provide that a dividend equivalent is any payment that references the payment of (i) a dividend from an underlying security pursuant to a securities lending or sale-repurchase transaction, (ii) a dividend from an underlying security pursuant to a specified NPC, (iii) a dividend from an underlying security pursuant to a specified equity-linked instrument (a “specified ELI”), and (iv) any other substantially similar payment. An underlying security is any interest in an entity if a payment with respect to that interest could give rise to a U.S. source dividend pursuant to Treasury regulation section 1.861-3. An NPC is a notional principal contract as defined in Treasury regulation section 1.446-3(c). An equity-linked instrument (“ELI”) is a financial instrument (other than a securities lending or sale-repurchase transaction or an NPC) that references the value of one or more underlying securities, including a futures contract, forward contract, option, debt instrument, or other contractual arrangement. A “section 871(m) transaction” is any securities lending or sale-repurchase transaction, specified NPC, or specified ELI.

15 

For payments made before January 1, 2017, the regulations provide that a specified NPC is any notional principal contract (“NPC”) if (a) in connection with entering into the contract, any long party to the contract transfers the underlying security to any short party to the contract, (b) in connection with the termination of the contract, any short party to the contract transfers the underlying security to any long party to the contract, (c) the underlying security is not readily tradable on an established securities market, or (d) in connection with entering into the contract, the underlying security is posted as collateral by any short party to the contract with any long party to the contract. An NPC that is treated as a specified NPC pursuant to the preceding rule will remain a specified NPC on or after January 1, 2017. With respect to (i) transactions issued on or after January 1, 2016 and that are still outstanding on or after January 1, 2018 and (ii) transactions issued on or after January 1, 2017, (a) a “simple” NPC or “simple” ELI that has a delta of 0.8 or greater with respect to an underlying security when the NPC or ELI is issued is a specified NPC or specified ELI, respectively, and (b) a “complex” NPC or “complex” ELI that meets a substantial equivalence test with respect to an underlying security at the time of issuance is a specified NPC or specified ELI, respectively.

A “simple” NPC or “simple” ELI is an NPC or ELI for which, with respect to each underlying security, (i) all amounts to be paid or received on maturity, exercise, or any other payment determination date are calculated by reference to the appropriate single, fixed number of shares of the underlying security, provided that the number of shares can be ascertained when the contract is issued, and (ii) the contract has a single maturity or exercise date with respect to which all amounts (other than any upfront payment or any periodic payments) are required to be calculated with respect to the underlying security. A contract has a single exercise date even though it may be exercised by the holder at any time on or before the stated expiration of the contract. An NPC or ELI that includes a term that discontinuously increases or decreases the amount paid or received (such as a digital option), or that accelerates or extends the maturity is not a simple ELI or simple NPC. A “complex” NPC or “complex” ELI is any NPC or ELI, respectively, that is not a simple NPC or a simple ELI, respectively. Delta is the ratio of the change in the fair market value of the contract to a small change in the fair market value of the number of shares of the underlying security.

Under temporary regulations, the substantial equivalence test measures the change in value of a complex contract when the price of the underlying security referenced by that contract is hypothetically increased by one standard deviation or decreased by one standard deviation and compares the change in value with the change in value of the shares of the equity that would be held to hedge the complex contract over an increase or decrease in the price of the equity by one standard deviation. If the proportionate difference between (a) the change in value of the complex contract and (b) the change in value of its hedge, is no greater than the proportionate difference between (i) the change in value of a “benchmark simple contract” with respect to the same shares and (ii) the change in value of its hedge, then the complex contract is substantially equivalent to the underlying security and dividend equivalent payments with respect to it are subject to withholding. The “benchmark simple contract” is a closely comparable simple contract that, at the time the complex contract is issued, has a delta of 0.8, references the applicable underlying security referenced by the complex contract, and has the same maturity as the complex contract with respect to the applicable underlying security.

If an NPC or ELI contains more than one reference to a single underlying security, all references to that underlying security are taken into account in determining the delta with respect to that underlying security. If an NPC or ELI references more than one underlying security or other property, the delta with respect to each underlying security must be determined without taking into account any other underlying security or property. The regulations provide an exception for qualified indices that satisfy certain criteria. The regulations provide that a payment includes a dividend equivalent payment whether there is an explicit or implicit reference to a dividend with respect to the underlying security.

For securities issued or deemed issued after December 31, 2015, withholding will be based on actual dividends or, if stated in writing on the issue date of the securities, on estimated dividends used in pricing the security. If an adjustment is made for the actual dividends, then the true-up payment (in addition to the estimated dividend) is added to the per-share dividend amount. If a transaction is a section 871(m) transaction, information regarding the amount of each dividend equivalent, the delta of the potential 871(m) transaction, the amount of any tax withheld and deposited, the estimated dividend amount and any other information necessary to apply the regulations will be provided as an attachment to this pricing supplement or on the Credit Suisse website.

In accordance with the applicable effective dates, we will treat any portion of a payment or deemed payment on a section 871(m) transaction (including, if appropriate, the payment of the purchase price) that is substantially similar to a dividend as a dividend equivalent, which will be subject to U.S. withholding tax unless reduced by an

applicable tax treaty and a properly executed IRS Form W-8 (or other qualifying documentation) is provided. If withholding applies, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld. Transactions may be combined and treated as a section 871(m) transaction, creating liability for you, whether or not we withhold on a dividend equivalent. These final and temporary regulations are extremely complex. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of these final and temporary regulations and whether payments or deemed payments on the notes constitute dividend equivalent payments.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders

A note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual Non-U.S. Holder holds the note at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a Non-U.S. Holder domiciled outside the United States includes only property situated in the United States. Individual Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of holding the notes at death.

IRS Notice and Proposed Legislation on Certain Financial Transactions

In Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury Department stated they are considering issuing new regulations or other guidance on whether holders of an instrument such as the notes should be required to accrue income during the term of the instrument. The IRS and Treasury Department also requested taxpayer comments on (1) the appropriate method for accruing income or expense (e.g., a mark-to-market methodology or a method resembling the noncontingent bond method), (2) whether income and gain on such an instrument should be ordinary or capital, and (3) whether foreign holders should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accrual. Additionally, unofficial statements made by IRS officials have indicated that they will soon be addressing the treatment of prepaid forward contracts in proposed regulations.

Accordingly, it is possible that regulations or other guidance may be issued that require holders of the notes to recognize income in respect of the notes prior to receipt of any payments thereunder or sale thereof. Any regulations or other guidance that may be issued could result in income and gain (either at maturity or upon sale) in respect of the notes being treated as ordinary income. It is also possible that a Non-U.S. Holder of the notes could be subject to U.S. withholding tax in respect of the notes under such regulations or other guidance. It is not possible to determine whether such regulations or other guidance will apply to your notes (possibly on a retroactive basis). You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding Notice 2008-2 and its possible impact on you.

Members of Congress have from time to time proposed legislation relating to financial instruments, including legislation that would require holders to annually mark to market affected financial instruments (potentially including the notes). These or other potential changes in law could adversely affect the tax treatment of the notes and may be applied with retroactive effect. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding how any such potential changes in law could affect you.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

A holder of the notes (whether a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder) may be subject to backup withholding with respect to certain amounts paid to such holder unless it provides a correct taxpayer identification number, complies with certain certification procedures establishing that it is not a U.S. Holder or establishes proof of another applicable exemption, and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. You can claim a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability for amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules, and amounts in excess of your liability are refundable if you provide the required information to the IRS in a timely fashion. A holder of the notes may also be subject to information reporting to the IRS with respect to certain amounts paid to such holder unless it (1) is a Non-U.S. Holder and provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8 (or other qualifying documentation) or (2) otherwise establishes a basis for exemption.

Supplemental Plan of Distribution

Under the terms of distributor accession confirmations with JPMS LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., each dated as of June 18, 2008, JPMS LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as placement agents for the notes. The placement agents received a fee from Credit Suisse or one of our affiliates of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. For additional information, see “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.

We expect to deliver the notes against payment for the notes on the Settlement Date indicated herein, which may be a date that is greater than three business days following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the Settlement Date is more than three business days after the Pricing Date, purchasers who wish to transact in the notes more than three business days prior to the Settlement Date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
