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.
|
|
|
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 Issuers credit ratings, may be a contributing factor.
|
|
|

with the issuance of the securities including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. The

5121, CSSU may not make sales in this offering to any discretionary account without prior written approval of the customer.

cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the equity securities comprising the Underlyings.
