Redemption Amount:

If the securities have not been previously automatically redeemed, on the Maturity Date , for each $10 principal amount of securities you hold, you will receive a cash payment determined as follows:

$10 + the Contingent Return 

If the Final Level of the Worst Performing Underlying is equal to or greater than its Initial Level, the maximum Redemption Amount is $13.60 per $10 principal amount.

Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $10 principal amount of the securities on the Trade Date will be between $9.20 and $9.65 (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 the accompanying pricing supplement.

About Your Securities

The Auto-Callable Securities due August 4, 2027 based on the worst performing of the S&P 500® Index and the Russell 2000® Index do not provide for the regular payment of interest or guarantee the return of any principal at maturity. The securities will be automatically redeemed if the closing level of each Underlying on any Call Observation Date is greater than or equal to its respective Call Level, and for each security you hold you will receive a cash payment equal to $10 plus the Automatic Redemption Premium applicable to such Call Observation Date. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been automatically redeemed and the Final Level of the Worst Performing Underlying is greater than or equal to its Initial Level, you will receive per security $10 plus the Contingent Return of $3.60. If the securities have not been automatically redeemed and the Final Level of the Worst Performing Underlying is less than its Initial Level but greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold Level, you will receive a Redemption Amount of $10 per $10 security. However, if the securities have not been automatically redeemed and the Final Level of the Worst Performing Underlying is less than its Downside Threshold Level, meaning that the Worst Performing Underlying has depreciated by more than 20% from its Initial Level, the payment due at maturity per security will be significantly less than $10 by an amount that is proportionate to the full percentage decline in the level of the Worst Performing Underlying from its Initial Level to its Final Level. Under these circumstances, the Redemption Amount per security will be less than $8 and could be zero. Accordingly, you may lose your entire initial investment in the securities.

 

You may revoke your offer to purchase the securities at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer on the date the securities are priced.  We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase the securities prior to their issuance.  In the event of any changes to the terms of the securities, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase.  You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
