Additional Risk Considerations

• The securities are exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the level of the Underlyings to the same degree for each Underlying.
• Anti-dilution protection is limited.
• 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.
• 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 Underlying.
