Initial Level

Knock-In Level**: Expect to be approximately 90% of the Initial Level

Fees: Certain fiduciary accounts may pay a purchase price of at least $980 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and any agent (the “Agents”) may receive varying discounts and commissions of up to $20 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. The Agents may re-allow some or all of the discount on the principal amount per security on sales of such securities by other brokers or dealers. CSSU or another broker dealer will forgo some or all discounts and commissions with respect to the sales of securities into certain fiduciary accounts.

Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 principal amount of the securities on the Trade Date will be between $960 and $990 (as determined by reference to its pricing models and the rate it is currently paying to borrow funds through issuance of the securities (its “internal funding rate”)). A single estimated value reflecting final terms will be determined on the Trade Date.

* As used in this document, references to "we" or "our" are to Credit Suisse AG, as Issuer.

Additional Risk Considerations 

·Prior to maturity, costs such as concessions and hedging may affect the value of the securities.

 

·Credit Suisse currently estimates that the value of the securities on the Trade Date will be less than the price you pay for the securities, reflecting the deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs of creating and marketing the securities.

 

·If on the Trade Date the internal funding rate we use in structuring notes such as these securities is lower than the interest rate that is reflected in the yield on our conventional debt securities of similar maturity in the secondary market (our “secondary market credit spreads”), we expect that the economic terms of the securities will generally be less favorable to you than they would have been if our secondary market credit spread had been used in structuring the securities.

 

·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.

 

·The appreciation potential of the securities will be limited to the Maximum Return, even if the Final Level increases from the Initial Level by more than the Maximum Return.

 

·The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Many factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Issuer, will influence the value of the securities and the price at which the securities may be purchased or sold in the secondary market. For example, the creditworthiness of the Issuer, including actual or anticipated downgrades to the Issuer’s credit ratings, may be a contributing factor.

 

·We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and as agent for the Issuer of the securities, hedging our obligations under the securities and determining the estimated value of the securities. The agent for this offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”), is our affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, CSSU may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer.

 

·The securities will be affected by a number of economic, financial, political, regulatory, and judicial factors that may either offset or magnify each other.

 

·As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the equity securities comprising the Underlying. Your return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the equity securities that comprise the Underlying.

 

·The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear.

 

The risks set forth in the section entitled “Certain Product Risks” on the preceding page and this section “Additional Risk Considerations” are only intended as summaries of some of the risks relating to an investment in the securities. Prior to investing in the securities, you should, in particular, review the “Certain Product Risks” and “Additional Risk Considerations” sections herein, the “Selected Risk Considerations” section in the preliminary pricing supplement, and the “Risk Factors” section of the product supplement, which set forth risks related to an investment in the securities.
