BASE PROSPECTUS

Credit Suisse AG
(incorporated with limited liability in Switzerland)
and
Credit Suisse Group AG
(incorporated with limited liability in Switzerland)
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
________________________________
Under this Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme), each of Credit Suisse AG, acting through its
Zurich head office or a designated branch (CS) and Credit Suisse Group AG (CSG and, together with CS, the Issuers and
each an Issuer) may from time to time issue notes (in the case of notes issued by CS, the CS Notes and, in the case of notes
issued by CSG, the HoldCo Notes, and the HoldCo Notes, together with the CS Notes, the Notes) denominated in any
currency agreed between the Issuer of such Notes (the relevant Issuer) and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
Notes may be issued, (i) in the case of CS Notes, in bearer, registered or uncertificated form (respectively Bearer CS
Notes, Registered CS Notes and Uncertificated CS Notes), or (ii) in the case of HoldCo Notes, in uncertificated form.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General Description of
the Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by CSG or CS (each a Dealer
and together the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base
Prospectus to the relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than
one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see
`'Risk Factors'' below.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as
competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10th July 2005 (the Luxembourg Act) on prospectuses for securities to
approve this document as a base prospectus. The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness
of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuers in accordance with Article
7(7) of the Luxembourg Act dated 10th July 2005 on prospectuses for securities.
Application has also been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market and to be listed on the Official List of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange. References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall
mean that, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Final Terms, such Notes have been admitted to trading on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market and have been listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU) (as amended, MiFID II). In addition, application has been made to SIX
Exchange Regulation AG (SIX Exchange Regulation) to register the Programme as an issuance programme for the
listing of debt securities on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The CSSF is not the competent authority to approve this
document in relation to (i) the Swiss Global CS Notes and the Uncertificated CS Notes (as defined herein); and (ii) any
Notes listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on any market or stock exchange other than the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange's Regulated Market and the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Notice of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue price of Notes and certain other information
which is applicable to each Tranche (as defined, in relation to CS Notes, under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes issued by
Credit Suisse AG" (the CS Terms and Conditions) and, in relation to HoldCo Notes under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes
issued by Credit Suisse Group AG" (the HoldCo Terms and Conditions and, together with the CS Terms and Conditions, the
Terms and Conditions)) of Notes will be set out in the final terms (the Final Terms) which, with respect to Notes to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Regulated Market and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, will be filed with the CSSF or, in respect of Notes to be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, will be filed with
SIX Exchange Regulation. Copies of Final Terms in relation to Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will also
be published on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (www.bourse.lu).
The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange, the SIX Swiss Exchange or on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between
the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on
any market.
CS has an issuer credit rating of A+ from S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited (S&P), a long-term issuer default rating
of A from Fitch Ratings Limited (Fitch) and an issuer credit rating of A1 from Moody's Deutschland GmbH (Moody's). CSG has
an issuer credit rating of BBB+ from S&P, a long-term issuer default rating of A- from Fitch and a senior unsecured rating of
Baa2 from Moody's. With respect to Notes issued by CS having a maturity of one year or more, the Programme has been rated
A+ by S&P, A by Fitch and A1 by Moody's. With respect to Notes issued by CSG having a maturity of one year or more, the
Programme has been rated BBB+ by S&P, A- by Fitch and Baa2 by Moody's.
Each of S&P, Fitch and Moody's is established in the European Union (the EU) and registered under Regulation (EC)
No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation). In general, and subject to certain exceptions (including the exception
outlined below), European regulated investors are restricted from using a credit rating for regulatory purposes if such a credit
rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the EU and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating


1





is provided by a credit rating agency operating in the EU before 7th June 2010 which has submitted an application for
registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused.
As such, each of S&P, Fitch and Moody's is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European
Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on its website (at www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in
accordance with the CRA Regulation.
Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated by any one or more of the rating agencies referred to
above. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will be disclosed in the applicable Final Terms and will not necessarily
be the same as the rating assigned to the Programme by the relevant rating agency. A security rating is not a recommendation
to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating
agency.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to certain reference rates, which may constitute
"benchmarks" under Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the Benchmarks Regulation). If any such reference rate does constitute
such a benchmark, the applicable Final Terms will, in the case of Notes to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange's Regulated Market and listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, indicate whether or not the
relevant administrator thereof is included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by
ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation. Not every reference rate will fall within the scope of the
Benchmarks Regulation. Furthermore transitional provisions in the Benchmarks Regulation may have the result that the
administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of
the applicable Final Terms. The registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public
record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuers do not intend to update any Final Terms to reflect any change in
the registration status of an administrator. As at the date of this Base Prospectus: (i) ICE Benchmark Administration Limited
(the administrator of LIBOR) is included in the register of administrators and benchmarks; and (ii) the European Money Markets
Institute (the administrator of EURIBOR), ABS Benchmarks Administration Co Pte Ltd (the administrator of SIBOR), ASX
Limited (the administrator of BBSW), Thomson Reuters (the administrator of CDOR), The Hong Kong Treasury Markets
Association (the administrator of CNH HIBOR and HIBOR), New Zealand Financial Markets Association (the administrator of
BKBM), Swedish Bankers' Association (the administrator of STIBOR), Norske Finansielle Referanser AS (the administrator of
NIBOR) and The Bank of England (the administrator of SONIA) are not included in such register and, as far as the Issuers are
aware, (i) under Article 2 of the Benchmarks Regulation, the Bank of England (the administrator of SONIA), is not required to
obtain authorisation or registration, and (ii) the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation apply, such
that none of the other administrators are currently required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the EU,
recognition, endorsement or equivalence).

No person is or has been authorised by the Issuers to give any information or to make any

supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers or any of the Dealers.
Neither this Base Prospectus nor any other information supplied in connection with the

should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuers or any of the Dealers that any recipient of this

Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in
any circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuers is correct at any

same. The Dealers expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuers
during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the Notes of any information coming to their
attention.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and the Notes in bearer form are subject to U.S. tax law
requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (see the "Subscription and Sale" section).

IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS ­ If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes
includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", such Notes are not intended to
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one
(or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II); or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended or superseded, where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified
investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling such Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investors in the EEA will have been or will be prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the
EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II product governance / target market ­ The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "MiFID II product governance" which will outline the target market assessment
in respect of such Notes and which channels for distribution of such Notes are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending such Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration
the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking
its own target market assessment in respect of such Notes (by either adopting or refining the target
market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels. A determination will be made in
relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product Governance rules under EU
Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any such
Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor
any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance Rules.
Product Classification pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289
Of Singapore) ­ In connection with Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of
Singapore (as amended, the SFA) and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations
2018 of Singapore (the CMP Regulations 2018), unless otherwise specified before an offer of Notes, the
relevant Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1) of
the SFA), that the Notes are `prescribed capital markets products' (as defined in the CMP Regulations
2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the MAS)
Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and the MAS Notice FAAN16: Notice on
Recommendations on Investment Products).
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes
must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each
potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other
professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in
this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes, including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from
the currency in which such potential investor's financial activities are principally denominated;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes, such as, in the case of HoldCo Notes, the
circumstances under which the Swiss Resolution Authority will have power to write-down and
cancel the Notes or require the conversion of the Notes into equity of CSG and/or defer payments
on the Notes, the acknowledgement of such power and consent to its exercise by Noteholders
(including beneficial owners) and the effect of the condition of CSG on the Notes;
(v)
understands thoroughly that certain events do not constitute events of default under the Notes;
and


4






(vi)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect
its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of
certain investors are subject to investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers (a) to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Notes are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of
borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes, and (b) in the case of
HoldCo Notes, to assess the circumstances under which the Swiss Resolution Authority will have the
power to write-down and cancel the Notes and/or require the conversion of the Notes into equity of CSG
and/or defer payments on the Notes, the acknowledgement of such power and consent to its exercise by
Noteholders (including beneficial owners) and the effect of the condition of CSG on the Notes. Financial
institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate
treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
In this Base Prospectus, all references to U.S. dollars, USD and U.S.$ refer to United States dollars, all
references to CHF refer to Swiss francs and all references to Renminbi and RMB are to the lawful currency of
People's Republic of China (the PRC) which for the purposes of this Base Prospectus excludes the Hong Kong

Note and Uncertificated CS Notes and all HoldCo Notes, Credit Suisse AG.

STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the applicable Final
Terms may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any
stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer
of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the
earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment
of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant
Stabilisation Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME IN RELATION TO THE NOTES OTHER THAN NOTES

Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as `Elements'. These Elements are
numbered in Sections A ­ E (A.1 ­ E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included
in a summary for these type of securities and Issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be
addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may
be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and Issuer, it is possible that
no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case a short description of the
Element is included in the summary with the mention of `Not Applicable'. Where information is not
included in the body of a prospectus in relation to a particular Element, a reference to `not applicable'
should appear followed by a short description of the disclosure requirement.
