You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand. What is this Product? Type: Uncertificated securities (Wertrechte) governed by Swiss law. Objectives: The Product is a complex financial instrument linked to one Underlying (Swiss Market Index (SMI)® (Equity-index), the Underlying, see table below). By investing in the Product, you may participate in a percentage of any positive performance of the Underlying. On the Final Redemption Date you will receive the Final Redemption Amount which is equal to 100% of the Denomination. This amount is referred to as the Protected Redemption Amount and is not dependent upon the performance of the Underlying. In addition, on the Final Redemption Date you may receive a Payout Amount if the Underlying performs favourably for the investor. If the Underlying performs unfavourably for the investor, the Payout Amount may be equal to zero. In detail: ● If the Final Level is above the Strike, you will receive a Payout Amount that increases depending upon the positive performance of the Underlying. The Payout Amount is equal to the Denomination multiplied by the product of (i) the Participation and (ii) the ratio of (A) the difference between the Final Level minus the Strike divided by (B) the Initial Level. ● If the Final Level is at or below the Strike, the Payout Amount will be equal to zero and you will only receive the Protected Redemption Amount on the Final Redemption Date. The Product does not pay any interest or other periodic compensation during its term. The risk and reward profile of the Product described above will differ if the Product is sold before the Final Redemption Date.

Term: The Final Redemption Date of the Product is May 1, 2020. The term of the Product is until the Final Redemption Date. However, the Issuer may terminate the Product early with effect on each Early Redemption Date by payment of the applicable Early Redemption Price provided the Issuer has exercised such termination right on or prior to the relevant Call Date. The Product provides that if certain extraordinary events occur, the Issuer may terminate the Product early. These events principally relate to the Pro- duct, the Issuer and the Underlying. The amount you receive on such extraordinary early termination will be different and may be less than the amount you invested. Any dividend payments on the shares comprised in the Underlying, which is a price index, will not increase the index value of such Underlying. Dividend payments will not be distributed to investors either. ek6yfs4isfm9p Page 1 What are the risks and what could I get in return? Summary Risk Indicator 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Lower Risk Higher Risk The risk indicator assumes you keep the Product for the recommended holding period. The actual risk can vary significantly if you cash in at an early stage and you may get back less. You may not be able to sell your Product easily or you may have to sell at a price that significantly impacts on how much you get back. The summary risk indicator is a guide to the level of risk of this Product compared to other products. It shows how likely it is that the Product will lose money because of move- ments in the markets or because we are not able to pay you. We have classified this Product as 2 out of 7, which is a low risk class. This rates the potential losses from future performance at a low level, and poor market conditions are very unlikely to impact our capacity to pay you. Be aware of currency risk if your reference currency differs from the currency of the Product. You might receive payments in a different currency, so the final return you will get depends on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not considered in the indicator shown above. You are entitled to receive back at least 100% of your capital. Any amount over this, and any additional return, de- pends on future market performance and is uncertain. If we are not able to pay you what is owed, you could lose your entire investment return.

This table shows the money you could get back over the next 5 years, under different scenarios, assuming that you invest USD 10'000. The scenarios shown illustrate how your investment could perform. You can compare them with the scenarios of other Products. The scenarios presented are an estimate of future performance based on evi- dence from the past on how the value of this investment varies, and are not an exact indicator. What you get will vary depending on how the market performs and how long you keep the Product. The stress scenario shows what you might get back in extreme market circumstances, and it does not take into account the situation where we are not able to pay you. The figures shown include all costs of the Product itself, but may not include all the costs that you pay to your advisor or distributor. The figures do not take in- to account your personal tax situation, which may also affect how much you get back. What happens if Credit Suisse AG is unable to pay out? If Credit Suisse AG becomes insolvent, investors should in the worst case be prepared to suffer a total loss of their investment. The Product is not covered by any statutory or other deposit protection scheme. If the issuer and/or the guarantor are subject to any resolution measures (e.g. bail-in), your claim rights may be reduced to zero, converted in- to equity or its maturity date may be altered. What are the costs? The Reduction in Yield (RIY) shows what impact the total costs you pay will have on the investment return you might get. The total costs take into account one-off, ongoing and incidental costs. The amounts shown here are the cumulative costs of the Product itself, for three different holding periods. They include potential early exit penalties. The figures assume you invest USD 10'000. The figures shown are estimates and may change in the future. Costs over time The Person selling you or advising you about this Product may charge you other costs. If so, this person will provide you with information about these costs, and show you the impact that all costs will have on your investment over time.
