Description détaillée Credit Suisse était une grande banque suisse, active dans la gestion de fortune, l'investissement bancaire et les services financiers, avant sa prise de contrôle par UBS en mars 2023 suite à une crise de confiance.

Cet article présente une analyse détaillée d'une obligation émise par Credit Suisse, identifiée par le code ISIN US22547T5891 et le code CUSIP 22547T589. En tant qu'instrument de dette, cette obligation, parvenue à maturité le 31 janvier 2025, a été intégralement remboursée à ses porteurs, attestant de la bonne exécution des engagements de l'émetteur. L'émetteur, Credit Suisse, est une institution financière suisse historique et de renommée mondiale. Fondée en 1856, elle a longtemps été l'un des piliers de la finance internationale, offrant une large gamme de services bancaires, de gestion de fortune et de services d'investissement. Plus récemment, Credit Suisse a fait l'objet d'une acquisition par UBS en mars 2023, suite à des défis significatifs, marquant une restructuration majeure du paysage bancaire suisse et mondial. Cette opération visait à stabiliser le système financier et à assurer la continuité des activités pour les clients et créanciers. L'obligation en question, ayant atteint sa maturité après cette période tumultueuse, illustre la capacité de l'entité fusionnée à honorer ses obligations préexistantes. Les caractéristiques spécifiques de cette émission obligataire, libellée en dollars américains (USD) et émise en Suisse, incluent un prix de remboursement à maturité de 100%, signifiant un remboursement au pair pour les détenteurs. Le taux d'intérêt associé à cette obligation était de 0%, ce qui peut indiquer qu'il s'agissait d'une obligation zéro-coupon, où le rendement pour l'investisseur est généré par la différence entre le prix d'acquisition initial (potentiellement inférieur au pair) et le prix de remboursement au pair. La taille totale de l'émission s'élevait à 7 834 000 unités de la devise, avec une taille minimale à l'achat fixée à 1 000 unités. La fréquence de paiement était indiquée à 2, une caractéristique qui, pour une obligation à taux zéro, pourrait se référer à d'autres aspects de sa structure ou de son cycle de vie avant son échéance, plutôt qu'à des paiements de coupons. Enfin, la notation attribuée par l'agence Moody's pour cette obligation était "NR" (Not Rated), indiquant l'absence de notation publique spécifique pour cette tranche d'émission par cette agence à l'époque pertinente. Le fait que cette obligation ait été remboursée intégralement à maturité, à 100% de sa valeur nominale, confirme la pleine exécution de l'engagement de l'émetteur envers ses créanciers. Cette réalisation représente un événement standard et positif pour les détenteurs d'obligations, signalant la clôture réussie de leur investissement à revenu fixe et la préservation de leur capital nominal, dans le contexte d'une obligation dont le terme est arrivé à échéance.

These Trigger Performance Securities (the "Securities") are senior, unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse AG, acting through its London Branch
("Credit Suisse" or the "Issuer") linked to the performance of the Russell 2000® Index (the "Underlying"). The Securities will rank pari passu with all
of our other senior unsecured obligations. If the Underlying Return is greater than zero, Credit Suisse will pay the Principal Amount at maturity plus
a return equal to the product of (i) the Principal Amount multiplied by (ii) the Underlying Return multiplied by (iii) the Upside Participation Rate is
143.50%. If the Underlying Return is equal to or less than zero, Credit Suisse will either pay the full Principal Amount at maturity, or, if the Final
Level is less than the Trigger Level, Credit Suisse will pay less than the full Principal Amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal
that is proportionate to the full depreciation of the Underlying. In that case, you will lose a significant amount and possibly all of your investment.

K e y Risk s

An investment in the offering of the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the
Underlying. Some of the risks that apply to the Securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed
explanation of risks relating to the Securities in the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product supplement. We also urge you
to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities.

¨
Y ou m a y re c e ive le ss t ha n t he princ ipa l a m ount a t m a t urit y -- You may receive less at maturity than you originally
invested in the Securities. If the Final Level is less than the Trigger Level, you will be fully exposed to any depreciation in the
Underlying and will incur a loss proportionate to the Underlying Return. In this case, at maturity, the amount Credit Suisse will
pay you will be less than the principal amount of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment. It is not possible to
predict whether the Final Level will be less than the Trigger Level, and in that case, by how much the level of the Underlying has
decreased from its Initial Level to its Final Level. Any payment on the Securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as
they become due.

¨
T he Se c urit ie s a re subje c t t o t he c re dit risk of Cre dit Suisse -- Although the return on the Securities will be based
on the performance of the Underlying, the payment of any amount due on the Securities is subject to the credit risk of Credit
Suisse. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the Securities and, therefore, investors are subject to
our credit risk. In addition, any decline in our credit ratings, any adverse changes in the market's view of our creditworthiness or
any increase in our credit spreads is likely to adversely affect the value of the Securities prior to maturity.

¨
T he Se c urit ie s do not pa y int e re st -- We will not pay interest on the Securities. You may receive less at maturity than you
could have earned on ordinary interest-bearing debt securities with similar maturities, including other of our debt securities, since
the Payment at Maturity is based on the performance of the Underlying. Because the Payment at Maturity may be less than the
amount originally invested in the Securities, the return on the Securities (the effective yield to maturity) may be negative. Even if it
is positive, the return payable on each Security may not be enough to compensate you for any loss in value due to inflation and
other factors relating to the value of money over time.

¨
T he st a t e d pa yout from t he I ssue r a pplie s only if you hold t he Se c urit ie s t o m a t urit y -- The value of the
Securities prior to maturity may be less than the initial investment amount and substantially different than the amount expected at
maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, your return may be less than the
Underlying Return and you may receive less than your initial investment amount even if the level of the Underlying is greater than
the Trigger Level at that time. The stated payout on the Securities, including the application of the Trigger Level and Upside
Participation Rate, applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity.

¨

c a pit a liza t ion c om pa nie s -- The Russell 2000® Index is composed of equity securities issued by companies with relatively
small market capitalization. These equity securities often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity
than the equity securities of large-capitalization companies, and are more vulnerable to adverse business and economic
developments than those of large-capitalization companies. In addition, small-capitalization companies are typically less
established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies. These companies may depend on a small number of
key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse
product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than
large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products. Therefore, the Russell
2000® Index may be more volatile than it would be if it were composed of equity securities issued by large-capitalization
companies.

¨
T he e st im a t e d va lue of t he Se c urit ie s on t he T ra de Da t e m a y be le ss t ha n t he Pric e t o Public -- The initial
estimated value of your Securities on the Trade Date (as determined by reference to our pricing models and our internal funding
rate) may be significantly less than the original Price to Public. The Price to Public of the Securities includes the agent's discounts
or commissions as well as transaction costs such as expenses incurred to create, document and market the Securities and the
cost of hedging our risks as issuer of the Securities through one or more of our affiliates (which includes a projected profit). These
costs will be effectively borne by you as an investor in the Securities. These amounts will be retained by Credit Suisse or our
affiliates in connection with our structuring and offering of the Securities (except to the extent discounts or commissions are
reallowed to other broker-dealers or any costs are paid to third parties).

On the Trade Date, we value the components of the Securities in accordance with our pricing models. These include a fixed
income component valued using our internal funding rate, and individual option components valued using mid-market pricing. Our
option valuation models are proprietary. They take into account factors such as interest rates, volatility and time to maturity of the
Securities, and they rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.

Because Credit Suisse's pricing models may differ from other issuers' valuation models, and because funding rates taken into
account by other issuers may vary materially from the rates used by Credit Suisse (even among issuers with similar
creditworthiness), our estimated value at any time may not be comparable to estimated values of similar securities of other
issuers.

¨
Effe c t of int e re st ra t e use d in st ruc t uring t he Se c urit ie s -- The internal funding rate we use in structuring notes such
as these Securities is typically lower than the interest rate that is reflected in the yield on our conventional debt securities of
similar maturity in the secondary market (our "secondary market credit spreads"). If on the Trade Date our internal funding rate is
lower than our secondary market credit spreads, we expect that the economic terms of the Securities will generally be less
favorable to you than they would have been if our secondary market credit spread had been used in structuring the Securities. We
will also use our internal funding rate to determine the price of the Securities if we post a bid to repurchase your Securities in
secondary market transactions. See "--Secondary Market Prices" below.

¨
Se c onda ry m a rk e t pric e s -- If Credit Suisse (or an affiliate) bids for your Securities in secondary market transactions,
which we are not obligated to do, the secondary market price (and the value used for account statements or otherwise) may be
higher or lower than the Price to Public and the estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date. The estimated value of the
Securities on the cover of this pricing supplement does not represent a minimum price at which we would be willing to buy the
Securities in the secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The secondary market price of your Securities at any time cannot
be predicted and will reflect the then-current estimated value determined by reference to our pricing models and other factors.
These other factors include our internal funding rate, customary bid and ask spreads and other transaction costs, changes in
market conditions and any deterioration or improvement in our creditworthiness. In circumstances where our internal funding rate
is lower than our secondary market credit spreads, our secondary market bid for your Securities could be more favorable than
what other dealers might bid because, assuming all else equal, we use the lower internal funding rate to price the Securities and
other dealers might use the higher secondary market credit spread to price them. Furthermore, assuming no change in market
conditions from the Trade Date, the secondary market price of your Securities will be lower than the Price to Public because it
will not include the agent's discounts or commissions and hedging and other transaction costs. If you sell your Securities to a
dealer in a secondary market transaction, the dealer may impose an additional discount or commission, and as a result the price
you receive on your Securities may be lower than the price at which we may repurchase the Securities from such dealer.

We (or an affiliate) may initially post a bid to repurchase the Securities from you at a price that will exceed the then-current
estimated value of the Securities. That higher price reflects our projected profit and costs that were included in the Price to
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1053092/000095010315000671/dp52955_424b2-t463.htm[1/29/2015 4:23:58 PM]


Public, and that higher price may also be initially used for account statements or otherwise. We (or our affiliate) may offer to pay
this higher price, for your benefit, but the amount of any excess over the then-current estimated value will be temporary and is
expected to decline over a period of approximately 12 months.

The Securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments and any sale prior to maturity could result in a substantial
loss to you. You should be willing and able to hold your Securities to maturity.

¨
La c k of liquidit y -- 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. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not
provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Securities when you wish to do so. Because other dealers are not likely
to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities is likely to depend on
the price, if any, at which Credit Suisse (or its affiliates) is willing to buy the Securities. If you have to sell your Securities prior to
maturity, you may not be able to do so or you may have to sell them at a substantial loss.

¨
Pot e nt ia l c onflic t s -- We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including
acting as calculation agent, hedging our obligations under the Securities and determining their estimated value. In performing
these duties, the economic interests of us and our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the
Securities. Further, hedging activities may adversely affect any payment on or the value of the Securities. Any profit in connection
with such hedging activities will be in addition to any other compensation that we and our affiliates receive for the sale of the
Securities, which creates an additional incentive to sell the Securities to you.

¨
M a ny e c onom ic a nd m a rk e t fa c t ors w ill a ffe c t t he va lue of t he Se c urit ie s -- In addition to the level of the
Underlying, the value of the Securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or
magnify each other, including:


o
the expected volatility of the Underlying;


o
the time to maturity of the Securities;


o
interest and yield rates in the market generally;


o
geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the
components comprising the Underlying or markets generally and which may affect the levels of the Underlying; and


o
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 Securities prior to maturity,
and such price could be less than your initial investment and significantly different than the amount expected at 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.

¨
N o ow ne rship right s re la t ing t o t he U nde rlying -- Your return on the Securities will not reflect the return you would
realize if you actually owned the assets that comprise the Underlying. The return on your investment, which is based on the
percentage change in the Underlying, is not the same as the total return you would receive based on the purchase of the equity
securities that comprise the Underlying.

¨
N o divide nd pa ym e nt s or vot ing right s -- As a holder of the Securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive
cash dividends or other distributions or other rights with respect to the equity securities that comprise the Underlying. Further, the
performance of the Underlying will not include these dividends or distributions and does not contain a "total return" feature.

The examples and table below illustrate Payments at Maturity for a hypothetical offering of the Securities under various scenarios, with
the assumptions set forth below. Numbers in the examples and table below have been rounded for ease of analysis. You should not

take these examples or the table below as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Underlying. The actual terms
are set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement under "Final Terms" above. You should consider carefully whether the Securities
are suitable to your investment goals. Any payment on the Securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become
due:

Principal Amount:
$10.00
Term:
Approximately 10 years
Trigger Level:
50% of the hypothetical Initial Level
Upside Participation Rate:
143.50%

Ex a m ple 1 -- T he le ve l of t he U nde rlying increases by 1 0 % from t he I nit ia l Le ve l t o t he Fina l Le ve l. The Underlying
Return is greater than zero, and the Payment at Maturity is calculated as follows:

Underlying Return = 10.00%

Payment at Maturity = $10 + [$10 × (10% × 143.50%)] = $11.44

Because the Underlying Return is equal to 10%, the Payment at Maturity is equal to $11.44 per $10.00 Principal Amount of Securities,
resulting in a total return on the Securities of 14.35%.

Ex a m ple 2 -- T he le ve l of t he U nde rlying decreases by 3 0 % from t he I nit ia l Le ve l t o t he Fina l Le ve l. The Underlying
Return is negative, and the Payment at Maturity is calculated as follows:

Underlying Return = -30%

Payment at Maturity = $10.00

Because the Underlying Return is less than zero, but the Final Level is greater than the Trigger Level, Credit Suisse will pay you a
Payment at Maturity equal to $10.00 per $10.00 Principal Amount of Securities, resulting in a zero percent return on the Securities.

Ex a m ple 3 -- T he le ve l of t he U nde rlying decreases by 6 0 % from t he I nit ia l Le ve l t o t he Fina l Le ve l. The
Underlying Return is negative, and the Payment at Maturity is calculated as follows:

Underlying Return = -60%

Payment at Maturity = $10 + ($10 × -60%) = $4.00

Because the Underlying Return is less than zero and the Final Level is less than the Trigger Level, the Securities will be fully
exposed to any decline in the level of the Underlying as of the Valuation Date. Therefore, the Payment at Maturity is equal to $4.00
per $10.00 Principal Amount of Securities, resulting in a total loss on the Securities of 60%.

If the Final Level is less than the Trigger Level, the Securities will be fully exposed to any decline in the Underlying, and you
will lose a significant portion or all of your Principal Amount at maturity.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for each $10.00 Principal Amount of Securities.

The table below illustrates, for a $10.00 investment in the Securities, hypothetical Payments at Maturity for a hypothetical range of
Underlying Returns. The hypothetical Payments at Maturity set forth below are for illustrative purposes only. The actual Payment at
Maturity applicable to a purchaser of the Securities will depend on the Final Level. You should consider carefully whether the
Securities are suitable to your investment goals. Any payment on the Securities is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they
become due. The numbers appearing in the table below have been rounded for ease of analysis.

The following discussion summarizes material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities that
may be relevant to holders of the securities that acquire their securities from us as part of the original issuance of the securities. This
discussion applies only to holders that hold their securities as capital assets within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"). Further, this discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be
relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances or if you are subject to special rules, such as if you are:


·
a financial institution,


·
a mutual fund,


·
a tax-exempt organization,


·
a grantor trust,


·
certain U.S. expatriates,


·
an insurance company,


·
a dealer or trader in securities or foreign currencies,

·
a person (including traders in securities) using a mark-to-market method of accounting,


·
a person who holds the securities as a hedge or as part of a straddle with another position, constructive sale, conversion
transaction or other integrated transaction, or


·
an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The discussion is based upon the Code, law, regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date
hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and foreign laws are
not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has been or will be sought as to the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.

There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal
income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as those of your securities. Thus, the characterization of
the securities is not certain. Our special tax counsel, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, has advised that the securities should be
treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid financial contracts, with respect to the Underlying that are eligible for open
transaction treatment. In the absence of an administrative or judicial ruling to the contrary, we and, by acceptance of the securities,
you agree to treat the securities for all tax purposes in accordance with such characterization. In light of the fact that we agree to treat
the securities as prepaid financial contracts, the balance of this discussion assumes that the securities will be so treated.

You should be aware that the characterization of the securities as described above is not certain, nor is it binding on the IRS or the
courts. Thus, it is possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your securities in a manner that results in tax consequences to you
that are different from those described below. For example, the IRS might assert that securities with a term of more than one year
constitute debt instruments that are "contingent payment debt instruments" that are subject to special tax rules under the applicable
Treasury regulations governing the recognition of income over the term of your securities. If the securities were to be treated as
contingent payment debt instruments, you would be required to include in income on an economic accrual basis over the term of the
securities an amount of interest that is based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with
other terms and conditions similar to your securities, or the comparable yield. The characterization of securities as contingent payment
debt instruments under these rules is likely to be adverse. However, if the securities had a term of one year or less, the rules for short-
term debt obligations would apply rather than the rules for contingent payment debt instruments. Under Treasury regulations, a short-
term debt obligation is treated as issued at a discount equal to the difference between all payments on the obligation and the
obligation's issue price. A cash method U.S. Holder that does not elect to accrue the discount in income currently should include the
payments attributable to interest on the security as income upon receipt. Under these rules, any contingent payment would be taxable
upon receipt by a cash basis taxpayer as ordinary interest income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the possible tax
consequences of characterization of the securities as contingent


10


payment debt instruments or short-term debt obligations. It is also possible that the IRS would seek to characterize your securities as
options, and thus as Code section 1256 contracts in the event that they are listed on a securities exchange. In such case, the
securities would be marked-to-market at the end of the year and 40% of any gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain
or loss, and the remaining 60% of any gain or loss would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. We are not responsible for any
adverse consequences that you may experience as a result of any alternative characterization of the securities for U.S. federal income
tax or other tax purposes.
