Governing Law /<br />
Jurisdiction<br />
Tax Considerations<br />
The following statements and discussions of certain Swiss tax considerations relevant<br />
to the pur<strong>ch</strong>ase,<br />
ownership and disposition of Certificates are of a general nature only and do not address all potential tax<br />
consequences of an investment in Certificates under Swiss law. This summary is based on treaties,<br />
laws,<br />
regulations,<br />
rulings and decisions currently in effect, all of whi<strong>ch</strong> are subject to <strong>ch</strong>ange. It does not<br />
address the tax consequences of the Certificates in any jurisdiction other than Switzerland.<br />
Tax treatment depends on the individual tax situation of ea<strong>ch</strong> investor and may be subject<br />
to <strong>ch</strong>ange.<br />
Potential investors will, therefore, need to consult their own tax advisors to determine<br />
the special tax<br />
consequences of the pur<strong>ch</strong>ase, ownership and sale or other disposition of a Certificate.<br />
In particular, the<br />
precise tax treatment of a holder of a Certificate needs to be determined for ea<strong>ch</strong> issue with reference to<br />
the full te<strong>rms</strong> of the Certificates, as specified in the listing prospectus, under the law and practice at the<br />
relevant time.<br />
The investors shall be liable for all current and future taxes and<br />
duties as a consequence of an investment<br />
in Certificates. The income tax treatment as depicted below is applicable to individual persons with tax<br />
residence in Switzerland and private assets. Swiss withholding tax and Swiss stamp<br />
taxes are applicable<br />
to all investors; however, specific rules apply with respect to certain types of investors<br />
and transactions.<br />
No Swiss withholding tax, no Swiss stamp tax at issuance (primary market) and<br />
no Swiss securities<br />
transfer stamp tax on secondary market transactions of the Certificates.<br />
The discount of 0.50% (USD 0.50) on the Issue Price is subject to Swiss income tax for Swiss resident<br />
private investors.<br />
This product is not subject to EU withholding tax for Swiss paying agents. [TK-Code 9; “out of scope”]<br />
Credit Suisse AG expressly excludes all liability<br />
in respect of any tax implications.<br />
Issuer Risk The investment product’s retention of value is dependent not only on the development of the value<br />
of the<br />
Underlying, but also on the creditworthiness of the Issuer, whi<strong>ch</strong> may <strong>ch</strong>ange<br />
over the term of the<br />
investment product. This investment product is a direct, unsubordinated, unconditional<br />
and unsecured<br />
obligation of the Issuer and ranks equally with all other direct, unconditional and unsecured<br />
obligations of<br />
the Issuer. The Issuer is licensed as a bank pursuant to the Federal Act on Banks and Saving Banks and<br />
as a securities dealer pursuant to the Federal Act on Stock Ex<strong>ch</strong>anges and Securities<br />
Trading and is<br />
subject to supervision by<br />
the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA).<br />

Potential Loss: These Certificates are derivative financial instruments. The potential loss of an<br />
investment in a Certificate is similar to a direct investment in the corresponding shares of the Basket, i.e.<br />
could result in a substantial loss of the invested capital.<br />
The investors have no recourse to the shares contained in the Basket representing the Certificates.<br />
Owning the Certificates is not the same as owning the Underlying. Accordingly, <strong>ch</strong>anges in the market<br />
value of the Underlying may not result in a comparable <strong>ch</strong>ange in the market value of the Certificates.<br />
This investment product includes investments in Emerging Markets. Emerging Markets are<br />
located in countries that possess one or more of the following <strong>ch</strong>aracteristics: A certain degree of political<br />
instability, relatively unpredictable financial markets and economic growth patterns, a financial market that<br />
is still at the development stage or a weak economy. Emerging markets investments usually result in<br />

higher risks su<strong>ch</strong> as political risks, economical risks, credit risks, ex<strong>ch</strong>ange rate risks, market liquidity<br />
risks, legal risks, settlement risks, market risks, shareholder risk and creditor risk.<br />
Currency Risk: The investor may be exposed to currency risks, because (i) the underlying assets<br />
of the<br />
investment product are denominated in other currencies than the nominal of the investment<br />
product or (ii)<br />
the investment product is denominated in another currency than that of the country in whi<strong>ch</strong> the investor<br />
is resident. The value of the investment may therefore increase or decrease,<br />
based on currency<br />
fluctuations.<br />
Liquidity Risk: Credit Suisse AG, Zuri<strong>ch</strong>, will endeavor to provide a secondary market, but is under<br />
no<br />
legal obligation to do so. Upon investor demand Credit Suisse AG, Zuri<strong>ch</strong>, will provide<br />
bid/offer prices for<br />
the Certificates, depending on actual market conditions. There will be a price difference<br />
between bid and<br />
offer prices (spread).<br />
The Certificates will be listed on the SIX Swiss Ex<strong>ch</strong>ange AG. Other dealers are not likely to make a<br />
secondary market for the Certificates, the price at whi<strong>ch</strong> the investor may be able to<br />
trade the Certificates<br />
is likely to depend on the bid and offer prices.<br />
This risk disclosure<br />
notice cannot disclose all the risks. The Investor should, therefore,<br />
consult the listing prospectus with the full te<strong>rms</strong> and the “Special Risks in<br />
Securities Trading”<br />
risk disclosure bro<strong>ch</strong>ure (whi<strong>ch</strong> is available on the Swiss Bankers Association’s website:<br />
www.swissbanking.org/en/home/shop.htm or may be obtained from<br />
your relationship<br />
manager upon request).<br />
Important Notices By entering into a transaction with the Issuer or any of its affiliates, the investor acknowledges having<br />
read and understood the following te<strong>rms</strong>:<br />
The Issuer is acting solely as an arm’s length contractual counterparty and neither the Issuer nor any<br />
affiliate is acting as the financial adviser or fiduciary of the investor unless it has agreed to do so in<br />
writing.<br />
This document is issued solely for information purposes and for the recipient’s sole use. It does not<br />
constitute an offer or invitation to enter into any type of financial transaction. The Issuer<br />
has no obligation<br />
to issue this investment product. The information and views contained in this document<br />
are those of the<br />
Issuer and/or are derived from sources believed to be reliable. This document constitutes<br />
Marketing<br />
Material and is not the result of a financial analysis and, therefore, not subject to the “Directives on the<br />
Independence<br />
of Financial Resear<strong>ch</strong>” (Swiss Bankers Association). The content of this document,<br />
therefore, does not fulfill the legal requirements for the independence of financial<br />
analyses and there is<br />
no restriction on trading prior to publication of financial resear<strong>ch</strong>.<br />
This investment product does not constitute a participation in a collective investment<br />
s<strong>ch</strong>eme. Therefore,<br />
it is not supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and the investor does<br />
not benefit from the specific investor protection provided<br />
under the Federal Act on Collective Investment<br />
S<strong>ch</strong>emes. The prospectus requirements of Art. 652a / Art. 1156 of the Swiss Code<br />
of Obligations are<br />
not applicable.<br />
In connection with this transaction, the Issuer and/or its affiliates may pay<br />
to third parties, or<br />
receive from third parties as part of their compensation<br />
or otherwise, one-time or recurring<br />
remunerations (e.g. placement or holding fees). In receiving payments by third<br />
parties, the Issuer’s<br />
and/or its affiliates’ interests may be adverse to those of the holders of this investment<br />
product and su<strong>ch</strong><br />
payments could therefore adversely affect the investor’s return on the investment<br />
product. Further<br />
information may be requested from your bank / relationship manager.<br />
Where not explicitly otherwise stated, the Issuer has no duty to invest in the underlying assets and<br />
investors have no recourse to the underlying assets or to any payouts on the underlying<br />
assets. The price<br />
of the investment product will reflect the customary fees and costs <strong>ch</strong>arged on the level of the underlying<br />
assets (e.g. index calculation fees, management fees, administration fees). Certain<br />
built-in costs are<br />
likely to adversely affect the value of the investment product prior to maturity.<br />
This investment product is a complex structured financial instrument and involves a high degree of risk. It<br />
is intended only for investors who understand and are capable of assuming all risks involved. Before<br />
entering into any transaction, an investor should determine if this product suits<br />
his or her particular<br />
circumstances and should independently assess (with his or her professional advisers) the specific risks<br />
(maximum loss, currency risks, etc.) and the legal, regulatory, credit, tax and accounting consequences.<br />
The Issuer makes no representation as to the suitability or appropriateness of this investment product for<br />
any particular investor or as to the future performance of this investment product.<br />
This document does<br />
not replace a personal conversation with your relationship manager, whi<strong>ch</strong> is recommended<br />
by the bank<br />
before the investment decision. Please request your relationship manager to provide you with any<br />
available, additional information regarding this investment product su<strong>ch</strong> as the full te<strong>rms</strong> or the fact sheet.<br />
Historical data on the performance<br />
of the investment product or the Underlying assets is no indication of<br />
future performance. No representation or warranty is made that any indicative performance or return<br />
indicated will be a<strong>ch</strong>ieved in the future. Neither this document nor any copy thereof may be sent, taken<br />
into or distributed in the United States or to any U. S. person or in any other jurisdiction except under<br />
circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws thereof. This document may not be<br />
