Market Review: Positive performance despite global events
The six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was a positive one for equities as central banking stimulus policies in the United States and Europe combined with encouraging economic data and growth to ease investor concerns of a double-dip recession. Stock prices also received a boost as a result of these developments. Additionally, the global markets received injections of liquidity from the Federal Reserve's anti-deflationary policy of implementing multiple quantitative easing measures and the cooperative action of G7 nations to stabilize the yen.
The S&P 500 Index led by the healthcare sector finished the period up 6.02%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 7.30%. In international markets, the MSCI World Index Net Dividends registered a 5.28% gain, while the Nikkei Index Total Return finished 3.02% lower.
At the end of June, the target U.S. Federal Funds rate was being maintained at 0.00%-0.25%, and the discount rate was 0.75%. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index experienced a slight decline and now stands at 58.50 (1985 = 100), down from a revised 63.40 in December.
Strategic Review and Outlook: Fundamentals increase in importance
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Fund outperformed the benchmark. Stock selection and sector weighting in consumer staples, financials and healthcare contributed positively to performance. Conversely, information technology and utilities detracted from performance due to a combination of stock selection and sector weighting.

In our opinion, company specific fundamentals are becoming increasingly important as the business cycle continues to strengthen. Additionally, although many macroeconomic risks have diminished over the past two years, there are still significant events on the horizon that could impact investors including sovereign credit risk and the rebuilding of Japan's infrastructure.

The value of investments generally will fluctuate in response to market movements.
In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements, which may concern, among other things, domestic and foreign market, industry and economic trends and developments and government regulation and their potential impact on the Fund's investments. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual trends, developments and regulations in the future, and their impact on the Fund could be materially different from those projected, anticipated or implied. The Fund has no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.
On June 30, 2011, the Fund's Board of Directors approved the reorganization of the Fund into a fund advised by Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (the "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the proposed Reorganization, all of the assets and liabilities of the Fund would be transferred to Aberdeen U.S. Equity I Fund, a series of Aberdeen Funds (the "Acquiring Fund"), in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization is subject to the completion of certain conditions including the approval of the Fund's shareholders. Proxy materials describing the Reorganization will be mailed to shareholders in anticipation of a special meeting of shareholders to be held at a later date. If the Reorganization is completed, each shareholder of the Fund would become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund and would receive on a tax-free basis shares of the Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as their shares of the Fund.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us.
The annualized gross expense ratios are 0.94% for Common Class shares, 1.19% for Class A shares, 1.93% for Class B shares and 1.94% for Class C shares. The annualized net expense ratios after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are 0.94% for Common Class shares, 1.18% for Class A shares, 1.93% for Class B shares and 1.94% for Class C shares.
1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued at any time.
2 Total return for the Fund's Class A shares for the reporting period, based on offering price (including maximum sales charge of 5.75%), was 2.05%. Total return for the Fund's Class B shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 4.00%), was 3.85%. Total return for the Fund's Class C shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%), was 6.88%.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended June 30, 2011.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end management investment company that seeks long-term appreciation of capital. The Fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 31, 1998.
The Fund offers four classes of shares: Common Class shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. The Fund's Common Class shares are closed to new investors, with certain exceptions as set forth in the prospectus. Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except that they bear different expenses, which reflect the differences in the range of services provided to them. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% if the shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Equity investments are generally categorized as Level 1. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are generally categorized as Level 1. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors under procedures established by the Board of Directors and are generally categorized as Level 3. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Directors to fair value certain securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
• Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
• Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2011 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||||||
Investments in Securities | |||||||||||||||||||
Common Stocks | $ | 328,197,627 | $ | | $ | | $ | 328,197,627 | |||||||||||

$ | 331,355,478 | $ | 1,032,000 | $ | | $ | 332,387,478 |
*Other financial instruments include futures, forwards and swap contracts.
The Fund adopted FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which requires the Fund to disclose details of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2.
B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Fund has not entered into any derivative or hedging activities during the period covered by this report.
C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded
31
Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2011 (unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses and vary by class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
F) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit

Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
H) SECURITIES LENDING Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $21,585, of which $585 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $17,374 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $3,626. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
I) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2011, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $828,113 and $3,472, respectively. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Fund. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $149,060.
For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $89,217.
In addition to serving as the Fund's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to distribution plans adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, CSAMSI receives fees for its distribution services. For the Common Class shares of the Fund, the fee was calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets through October 10, 2010. Effective October 11, 2010, Common Class shares no longer charge this fee. For the Class A shares of the Fund, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets. For the Class B and Class C shares of the Fund, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of average daily net assets.
Certain brokers, dealers and financial representatives provide transfer agent related services to the Fund and receive compensation from Credit Suisse. Credit Suisse is then reimbursed by the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund reimbursed Credit Suisse $44,851, which is included in the Fund's transfer agent expense.

On October 8, 2010, Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. acquired all of the net assets of Credit Suisse Large Cap Growth Fund, Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund and Credit Suisse Mid-Cap Core Fund, Inc., each open-end investment companies, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees/Directors on May 3, 2010. The purpose of the transaction was to combine four funds managed by Credit Suisse with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,965,536 shares of Credit Suisse Large Cap Growth Fund valued at $51,257,052, 12,370,780 shares of Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund valued at $151,560,546 and 2,623,421 shares of Credit Suisse Mid-Cap Core Fund, Inc. valued at $92,062,375 for 29,444,055 shares of Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc.

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. were recorded at fair value; however the cost basis of the investments received from Credit Suisse Large Cap Growth Fund, Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund and Credit Suisse Mid-Cap Core Fund, Inc. were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. were $34,788,604.
Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 are as follows:
Net investment income | $ | 2,399,9791 | |||||
Net gain from investments | 65,946,8662 | ||||||

Note 7. Acquisition of Credit Suisse Large Cap Growth Fund, Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund and Credit Suisse Mid-Cap Core Fund, Inc.
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of net investment income and net gain on investments of Credit Suisse Large Cap Growth Fund, Credit Suisse Large Cap Value Fund and Credit Suisse Mid-Cap Core Fund, Inc. that have been included in Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc.'s statement of operations since October 8, 2010.
Note 8. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 9. Proposed Reorganization
On June 30, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Credit Suisse Large Cap Blend Fund, Inc. (the "Acquired Fund"), approved the reorganization of the Acquired Fund into a fund advised by Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (a "Reorganization"). Pursuant to the proposed Reorganization, all of the assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund would be transferred to Aberdeen U.S. Equity I Fund, a series of Aberdeen Funds (the "Acquiring Fund"), in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund.
The Reorganization is subject to the completion of certain conditions, including the approval of the Acquired Fund's shareholders. Proxy materials describing the Reorganization will be mailed to shareholders of the Acquired Fund in anticipation of a special meeting of shareholders to be held at a later date. If the Reorganization is completed, each shareholder of the Acquired Fund would become a shareholder of the Acquiring Fund and would receive on a tax-free basis shares of the Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as their shares of the Acquired Fund.
