Hypothetical Payout Profile (maturity payment amount)
If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and the ending price of the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at maturity.
Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Fund, but you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Fund on the final calculation day if the ending price of that Fund is less than its downside threshold price.
Credit Suisse currently estimates the value of each $1,000 face amount of the securities on the pricing date will be between $935 and $975 (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.
