Hypothetical Payout Profile**
**assumes a maximum return equal to the lowest possible maximum return that may be determined on the pricing date.
If the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount and will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount of your securities at maturity.
Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 face amount of the securities on the pricing date will be between $920.00 and $965.75 (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 pricing date. See “Investment Description” and “Selected Risk Considerations” in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
