3 Year Contingent Coupon Callable Yield Notes

Linked to the S&P 500 ® Index and the Russell 2000 ® Index

Return Profile

• 3 Year Contingent Coupon Callable Yield Notes linked to the performance of the S&P 500 ® Index and the Russell 2000 ® Index.
• Subject to Early Redemption, if a Coupon Barrier Event does not occur, the contingent interest payments will be paid semi-annually in arrears at a rate expected to be between 7.25% and 7.75% per annum (to be determined on the Trade Date) for the corresponding interest period, calculated on a 30/360 basis; if a Coupon Barrier Event occurs, no interest will be paid for the corresponding interest period.
• If a Knock-In Event does not occur, investors will be entitled to receive their principal amount at maturity.
• If a Knock-In Event occurs, the payment at maturity will depend on the depreciation in the Underlying Return of the Lowest Performing Underlying.
• Any payment on the securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.
• Credit Suisse currently estimates that the value of the securities on the Trade Date will be less than the price you pay for the securities, reflecting the deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs of creating and marketing the securities.

Additional Risk Considerations

· The securities are exposed equally to risk of fluctuations in the levels of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying.
· Prior to maturity, costs such as concessions and hedging may affect the value of the securities.
· Liquidity – The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Many factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Issuer, will influence the value of the securities and the price at which the securities may be purchased or sold in the secondary market. For example, the creditworthiness of the Issuer, including actual or anticipated downgrades to the Issuer’s credit ratings, may be a contributing factor.
· Potential Conflicts – We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. The agent for this offering, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CSSU”), is our affiliate. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, CSSU may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without prior written approval of the customer.
· The securities will be affected by a number of economic, financial, political, regulatory, and judicial factors that may either offset or magnify each other.
· As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the equity securities comprising the Underlyings.
