Credit Suisse AG
(incorporated with limited liability in Switzerland)
Euro Medium Term Note Programme
________________________________
Under this Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme), Credit Suisse AG, acting through its Zurich head
office or its London, Tokyo, Singapore, Guernsey, Sydney or New York branch (each such branch, a Designated Branch) (CS
or the Issuer) may from time to time issue notes (the Notes) denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the
relevant Dealer (as defined below).
Notes may be issued in bearer, registered or uncertificated form (respectively Bearer Notes, Registered Notes and
Uncertificated Notes).
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to Credit Suisse International (the Arranger and initial Dealer) and/or
any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme or in respect of any issue of Notes from time to time by CS (together with
the Arranger, 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 (the 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.
This Base Prospectus has been approved as a base prospectus by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur
Financier (the CSSF), as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). The CSSF only
approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the
Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the CSSF should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the quality of the
Notes. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes. 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 Issuer in accordance with Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg Law on Prospectuses for Securities dated 16th July
2019.
Application has 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 (as defined below), 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). The CSSF is not the competent authority to approve
this document in relation to (i) Swiss Notes (as defined herein), or (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.
This Base Prospectus (as supplemented at the relevant time, if applicable) is valid for 12 months from its date in relation
to Notes which are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the European Economic Area (the EEA). The obligation to
supplement this Base Prospectus in the event of a significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply
when this Base Prospectus is no longer valid.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation only applies to Notes which are to be
admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA and/or offered to the public in the EEA other than in circumstances where
an exemption is available under Article 1(4) and/or 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation.
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 under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" (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. 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 and/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 Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer 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 rating of A1 from Moody's Investors Service Ltd. (Moody's). With respect to
Notes 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.
S&P is established in the EEA and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA
Regulation). Fitch and Moody's are established in the United Kingdom (the UK) and are registered in accordance with Regulation
(EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the EUWA) (the
UK CRA Regulation).
In general, EEA 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 EEA and registered under the CRA Regulation. This general
restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings issued by third country non-EEA credit rating agencies, unless an exception

1

applies, including the relevant credit ratings having been endorsed by an EEA-registered credit rating agency. Investors regulated
in the UK are subject to similar restrictions under the UK CRA Regulation.
The ratings issued by Fitch are endorsed by Fitch Ratings Ireland Limited (Fitch Ireland) and the ratings issued by
Moody's are endorsed by Moody's Deutschland GmbH (Moody's Germany). Fitch Ireland and Moody's Germany are established
in the EEA and are registered under the CRA Regulation. As such, each of S&P, Moody's Germany and Fitch Ireland 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.
The ratings issued by S&P are endorsed by S&P Global Ratings UK Limited (S&P UK). S&P UK is established in the
UK and is registered in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation. As such, the ratings issued by S&P may be used for regulatory
purposes in the UK in accordance with the UK 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 EU 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 EU Benchmarks Regulation (the EU Benchmarks Register). Not every reference rate will fall within
the scope of the EU Benchmarks Regulation. Furthermore transitional provisions in the EU Benchmarks Regulation may have
the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear in EU Benchmarks Register at the date of the
applicable Final Terms. The registration status of any administrator under the EU Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public
record and the Issuer does not intend to update any Final Terms to reflect any change in the EU registration status of an
administrator. As at the date of this Base Prospectus: (a) European Money Markets Institute (the administrator of EURIBOR) and
SIX Index AG (the administrator of SARON) are included in the EU Benchmarks Register; and (b) 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), The Bank of England (the administrator of SONIA),
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the FRBNY) (the administrator of SOFR) and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the
MAS) (the administrator of SORA) are not included in the EU Benchmarks Register and, as far as the Issuer is aware, (i) under
Article 2 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation, The Bank of England (the administrator of SONIA), the Federal Reserve of New York
(the administrator of SOFR) and the MAS (the administrator of SORA), are not required to obtain authorisation or registration,
and (ii) the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the EU Benchmarks Regulation apply, such that none of the other administrators
that has not obtained such authorisation or registration are currently required to obtain such authorisation or registration in the
European Union (the EU) (or, if located outside the EU, recognition, endorsement or equivalence).

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 (EU) 2016/97, 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 Regulation.
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 such Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
IMPORTANT UK RETAIL INVESTORS If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes
a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the 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 UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i)
a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the UK
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the FSMA) and any rules or regulations made under
the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic
law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK 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 / target market" 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.
UK MiFIR product governance / target market The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may
include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment
in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the
target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA)
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the 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 UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any 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 UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
This Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any Notes with a minimum denomination
of less than 100,000 (or equivalent in another currency) will (i) only be admitted to trading on an EEA
regulated market (as defined in MiFID II), or a specific segment of an EEA regulated market, to which
only qualified investors (as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) can have access (in which case such Notes
shall not be offered or sold to non-qualified investors) or (ii) only be offered to the public in an EEA Member
State pursuant to an exemption under Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation (including any Swiss Notes).

4

Furthermore, this Base Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any Notes with a minimum
denomination of less than 100,000 (or equivalent in another currency) will with respect to the UK only be
offered to the public pursuant to an exemption under section 86 of the FSMA.
Singapore Product Classification pursuant to Section 309B of the Securities and Futures Act 2001
(2020 Revised Edition) of Singapore, as amended or modified from time to time In connection with Section
309B of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (2020 Revised Edition) of Singapore (as amended or modified
from time to time, the SFA) and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018
of Singapore (the CMP Regulations 2018), the applicable Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include
a legend entitled "Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 (2020
Revised Edition) of Singapore" which will state the product classification of the Notes pursuant to section
309B(1) of the SFA. The Issuer will make a determination in relation to each issue about the classification
of the Notes being offered for purposes of section 309B(1)(a) of the SFA. Any such legend included on the
applicable Final Terms will constitute notice to "relevant persons" for purposes of section 309B(1)(c) of the
SFA. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Final Terms, all Notes shall be prescribed capital markets
products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the
MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and in the MAS Notice FAA-N16:
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;
(v)
understands thoroughly that certain events do not constitute events of default under the
Notes; and
(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 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. 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, all references to and euro refer to the currency introduced at the start
of the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU,
as amended 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 Special Administrative Region
of the PRC, the Macao Special Administrative Region of the PRC and the Republic of China.
References in this Base Prospectus to Agent shall mean (i) in the context of all Notes except Swiss Notes,
BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch and (ii) in the context of all Swiss 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.
