Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $10 principal amount of the securities on the Trade Date will be between $9.25 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 Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500® Index due June 5, 2028, which we refer to as the securities, offer leveraged exposure to the positive performance of the Underlying and limited protection against a loss of principal, subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. At maturity, if the Underlying has appreciated in value from the Initial Level to the Final Level, investors will receive the principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the Underlying. If the Underlying has depreciated in value but the Final Level is greater than or equal to the Trigger Level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment. However, if the Underlying has depreciated in value so that the Final Level is less than the Trigger Level, investors will lose 1% for every 1% decline in the level of the Underlying from the Initial Level to the Final Level. Under these circumstances, the Payment at Maturity will be significantly less than the principal amount and could be zero. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities.
