| Fees: | Certain fiduciary accounts may pay a purchase price of at least $982.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and any agent (the “Agents”) may pay varying discounts and commissions of up to $17.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities, of which $2.50 may be paid to certain institutions or service providers on securities not sold to certain fiduciary accounts in consideration for providing education, structuring or other services with respect to the distribution of the securities. CSSU or another broker or dealer will forgo some or all discounts and commissions with respect to the sales of securities into certain fiduciary accounts. The Agent(s) through whom we distribute securities may enter into arrangements with other institutions with respect to the distribution of the securities, and those institutions may share in the commissions, discounts or other compensation received by the Agent(s), may be compensated separately and may also receive commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as agents. In addition, an affiliate of ours will pay referral fees of $3 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. The Agent(s) 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. |
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 our pricing models and the rate we are currently paying to borrow funds through issuance of the securities (our “internal funding rate”)). This range of estimated values reflects terms that are not yet fixed. A single estimated value reflecting final terms will be determined on the Trade Date. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Certain Product Risks
| • | Your investment may result in a loss of up to 100% of the principal amount of securities you hold. If a Knock-In Event has occurred, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the Lowest Performing Underlying. Regardless of the amount of any payment you receive on the securities, your actual yield may be different in real value terms. |
| • | The value of the securities and the payment of any amount due on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. |
| • | The securities do not pay interest. |
| • | The probability that the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying will be less than its Knock-In Level will depend on the volatility of such Underlying. |
| • | The appreciation potential of the securities will be limited to the Fixed Payment Percentage, even if the Final Level of one or more Underlyings increases from its Initial Level by more than the Fixed Payment Percentage. |
| • | The Redemption Amount will be based on the Security Performance Factor and, therefore, you will not benefit from the performance of the other Underlying. |
| • | The securities are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the level of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying. |
| • | The return on the securities is affected by the Final Level of the Lowest Performing Underlying and by whether a Knock-In Event occurs. |

Additional Risk Considerations
| · | The securities are exposed equally to risk of fluctuations in the levels of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying. |
| · | Some or all of the assets included in the Underlyings are issued by foreign companies and trade in foreign securities markets. Investments in the securities therefore involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, government intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. |
| · | Although shares of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (the “Reference Fund”) are listed for trading on a national securities exchange and a number of similar products have been traded on various national securities exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for the shares of the Reference Fund or that there will be liquidity in the trading market. |
| · | The performance and market value of the Reference Fund, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not correlate to the performance of the index tracked by the Reference Fund. |
| · | The Reference Fund is exposed to the political and economic risks of emerging market countries. |
| · | Because the prices of the equity securities included in the Reference Fund are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level of the Reference Fund, investors will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities included in the Reference Fund trade. |
| · | The closing level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar even though the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are traded in a foreign currency and the securities are denominated in U.S. dollars. |
| · | 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. |
| · | Liquidity – The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Many factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Issuer, will influence the value of the securities and the price at which the securities may be purchased or sold in the secondary market. For example, the creditworthiness of the Issuer, including actual or anticipated downgrades to the Issuer’s credit ratings, may be a contributing factor. |
| · | Potential Conflicts – We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and as agent of the Issuer of the securities, hedging our obligations under the securities and determining the estimated value of the securities. The agent for this offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”), is our affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, CSSU may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer. |
| · | The securities will be affected by a number of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial factors that may either offset or magnify each other. |
| · | As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of the Reference Fund or the equity securities comprising the Underlyings. Your return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of the Reference Fund or the equity securities that comprise the Underlyings. |
| · | If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an anti-dilution adjustment, or if an adjustment is made but such adjustment does not fully reflect the economics of such event, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. |
| · | The U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities are unclear. |
