 ·    If the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, then you will be exposed to any depreciation in the Underlying beyond the Buffer Level.

 ·    Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Issuer*: Credit Suisse AG (“Credit Suisse”), acting through its London branch.
Trade Date: Expected to be December 26, 2019
Settlement Date: Expected to be December 31, 2019
Underlying: The Russell 2000® Index
Redemption Amount: At maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount of securities, $1,000 x (1 + Security Performance Factor)
Security Performance Factor: If (a) the Final Level is equal to or greater than the Buffer Level, the Security Performance Factor will equal the Fixed Payment Percentage; (b) the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, the Security Performance Factor will equal the sum of (i) the Underlying Return plus (ii) the Buffer Amount.
Underlying Return: (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level
Buffer Level: 85% of the Initial Level
Buffer Amount: 15%
Fixed Payment Percentage**: Expected to be at least 16%
Initial Level: The closing level of the Underlying on the Trade Date.
Final Level: The closing level of the Underlying on the Valuation Date.
Valuation Date: June 26, 2023
Maturity Date: June 29, 2023
CUSIP: 22551NDA1
Fees: Certain fiduciary accounts may pay a purchase price of at least $967.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities. Incapital LLC will act as placement agent for the securities. The placement agent will receive a fee from Credit Suisse or one of our affiliates that will not exceed $32.50 per $1,000 principal amount of securities for each offering of the securities. The placement agent will forgo some or all discounts and commissions with respect to the sales of securities into certain fiduciary accounts for each offering of the securities.

Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 principal amount of the securities on the Trade Date will be between $940 and $970 (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.

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

** To be determined on the Trade Date.

Certain Product Risks

    Your investment may result in a loss of 85% of the principal amount of securities you hold. The Redemption Amount will be less than the principal amount of the securities you hold if the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level. In such case, you will be exposed to any depreciation in the Underlying from the Initial Level to the Final Level beyond the Buffer Level. Regardless of the amount of any payment you receive on the securities, your actual yield may be different in real value terms.
    The securities and the payment of any amount due on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse.
    The probability that the Final Level will be less than the Buffer Level will depend on the volatility of the Underlying.
    The securities do not pay interest.
    The maximum Redemption Amount of the securities at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount of securities is $1,000 multiplied by the sum of one plus the Fixed Payment Percentage.

Additional Risk Considerations 

The securities are linked to the Russell 2000® Index and are subject to the risks associated with small-capitalization companies.

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 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 pricing supplement, and the “Risk Factors” section of the product supplement, which set forth risks related to an investment in the securities.
