J.P. Morgan

Placement Agent

* Credit Suisse may act through its Nassau Branch or its London Branch.

** In the event that the closing level of the Underlying is not available on the Pricing Date, the Initial Level will be determined on the immediately following trading day on which a closing level is available.

† Subject to postponement as described in the applicable pricing supplement and product supplement.

Product Risks (continued)

Although the return on the notes will be based on the performance of the Underlying, the payment of any amount due on the notes is subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the notes and, therefore, investors are subject to our credit risk.

If the Final Level is greater than the Initial Level, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed a predetermined percentage of the principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the Underlying, which may be significant. We refer to this percentage as the Maximum Return, which will be set on the Pricing Date and will not be less than 16.0%. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at maturity is expected to be $1,160.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Any payment on the notes is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

Your investment in the notes may not perform as well as an investment in an instrument that measures the point-to-point performance of the Underlying from the Pricing Date to the Final Valuation Date (subject to the Maximum Return). Your ability to participate in the appreciation of the Underlying, if any, may be limited by the 5-day-end-of-term averaging used to calculate the Final Level, especially if there is a significant increase in the closing level of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date. Accordingly, you may not receive the benefit of the full appreciation of the Underlying, if any, between the Pricing Date and the Final Valuation Date .

The original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates), will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. You should be willing and able to hold your notes to maturity.

Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including the risk of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

Because the prices of the equity securities included in the Underlying are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the level of the Underlying, investors will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the equity securities included in the Underlying trade. Currency exchange rates may be highly volatile, particularly in relation to emerging or developing nations’ currencies and, in certain market conditions, also in relation to developed nations’ currencies. Significant changes in currency exchange rates, including changes in liquidity and prices, can occur within very short periods of time. Currency exchange rate risks include, but are not limited to, convertibility risk, market volatility and potential interference by foreign governments through regulation of local markets, foreign investment or particular transactions in foreign currency. These factors may adversely affect the values of the equity securities included in the Underlying, the level of the Underlying and the value of the notes.

As a holder of the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights with respect to the equity securities included in the Underlying.

The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) intends to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes when you wish to do so. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) is willing to buy the notes.

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.

The value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including whether the Final Level has decreased, as compared to the Initial Level, by more than the Knock-Out Buffer Amount; the actual and expected volatility of the Underlying, the time to maturity of the notes, the dividend rate on the equity securities included in the Underlying, interest and yield rates in the market generally, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events that affect the equity securities included in the Underlying, and our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings. Some or all of these factors may influence the price that you will receive if you choose to sell your notes prior to maturity. The impact of any of the factors set forth above may enhance or offset some or all of any change resulting from another factor or factors.

The risks set forth in the section entitled “Product Risks” above are only intended as summaries of some of the risks relating to an investment in the securities. Prior to investing in the securities, you should, in particular, review the “Product Risks” above, the “Selected Risk Considerations” section in the applicable pricing supplement and the “Risk Factors” section of the product supplement, which set forth risks relating to an investment in the securities.

You may revoke your offer to purchase the notes at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer on the date the notes are priced. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase the notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
