* On May 21, 2020, Credit Suisse delivered a Call Notice via the
Depository Trust Company to call all issued and outstanding units of MLTI. The Call Settlement Date is expected to be June 12,
2020. As disclosed in the relevant pricing
 | Media Release |
| June 3, 2020 Page 2/3 |
supplement, under these circumstances, the Coupon Amount payable
to the holders of MLTI shall be included in the Call Settlement Amount payable on such date. No further payments shall be made
on June 19, 2020.
1. For each ETN, the
Current Yield equals the Coupon Amount, annualized and divided by the Closing Indicative Value, as discussed in more detail below.
The Current Yield, which is based on an ETN’s Coupon Amount and its two most recent coupon payments, is not indicative of
future coupon payments, if any, on the ETNs. In particular, future coupon payments on an ETN may differ significantly from its
Current Yield, if its Closing Indicative Value fluctuates widely in a volatile market. You are not guaranteed any coupon payment
or distribution under the ETNs. Coupon payments for the ETNs (if any) are variable and do not represent fixed, periodic interest
payments. The Coupon Amount for any ETN may vary significantly from coupon period to coupon period and may be zero. Accordingly,
the Current Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to Credit Suisse’s
ability to pay its obligations as they become due. For more information regarding any ETN's coupon payments, please refer to such
ETN's pricing supplement.
2. The Current Yield
for the ETN equals the sum of (i) the Coupon Amount plus (ii) the amount of the ETN‘s two most recent coupon payments,
multiplied by four (to annualize such amounts), divided by the Closing Indicative Value, and rounded to two decimal
places for ease of analysis.
3. On May 11, 2020, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Gold FLOWSTM
103 Index, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Silver FLOWSTM 106 Index and the Credit Suisse Nasdaq WTI Crude Oil FLOWSTM
106 Index (the “Indices”) concluded the notional sale of options on GLD shares, SLV shares and USO shares, respectively,
with June 2020 expiration. We expect that the notional cash distribution generated by this sale of options will be withdrawn from
the Indices on June 15, 2020, subject to adjustment in the event of any market disruption events. Assuming no redemption or acceleration
of GLDI, SLVO and USOI, and that the notional cash distribution is withdrawn from the Indices on June 15, 2020, we expect to declare
a Coupon Amount for GLDI, SLVO and USOI, respectively, equal to the corresponding Expected Coupon Amount. The Expected Coupon Amount
is subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or other unforeseen circumstances.
4. For each ETN, the
Expected Current Yield equals the Expected Coupon Amount annualized and divided by the Closing Indicative Value, as discussed in
more detail below. The Expected Current Yield, which is based on an ETN’s Expected Coupon Amount and its two most recent
coupon payments, is not indicative of future coupon payments, if any, on the ETNs. In particular, future coupon payments on an
ETN may differ significantly from its Expected Current Yield, if its Closing Indicative Value fluctuates widely in a volatile market.
You are not guaranteed any coupon payment or distribution under the ETNs. Coupon payments for the ETNs (if any) are variable and
do not represent fixed, periodic interest payments. The Expected Coupon Amount for any ETN may vary significantly from coupon period
to coupon period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Expected Current Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant.
Any payment on the ETNs is subject to Credit Suisse’s ability to pay its obligations as they become due. For more information
regarding any ETN's coupon payments, please refer to such ETN's pricing supplement.
5. The Expected Current Yield for the ETN equals the sum of (i)
the Expected Coupon Amount, plus (ii) the amount of the ETN's two most recent coupon payments, multiplied by four
(to annualize such amounts), divided by the Closing Indicative Value, and rounded to two decimal places for ease of analysis.
The Expected Current Yield is subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or other unforeseen circumstances.

The ETNs may not be suitable for all investors and should be
purchased only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of investing in the ETNs. The ETNs are subject
to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount of your investment
at maturity or upon repurchase or sale. Coupon payments on the ETNs will vary and could be zero. There is no actual portfolio of
assets in which any investor in the ETNs has any ownership or other interest. Investors in the ETNs do not have voting rights,
distribution rights or other rights with respect to the assets included in the tracked indices. An investment in the ETNs involves
significant risks. For further information regarding risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the applicable
pricing supplement.
