| Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 27, 2026

n Linked to the lowest performing of the S&P 500® Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (each referred to as an “Index” and collectively as the “Indices”) n Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity and are subject to potential automatic call prior to maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically called prior to maturity and, if they are not automatically called, whether you receive the face amount of your securities at maturity will depend in each case on the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Index on any calculation day is the Index that has the lowest closing level on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting level n Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon on a quarterly basis until the earlier of the stated maturity date or automatic call if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the calculation day for that quarter is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold level. However, if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold level, you will not receive any contingent coupon for the relevant quarter. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index is less than its coupon threshold level on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupons throughout the entire term of the securities. The contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be at least 8.25% per annum. Contingent coupons should not be viewed as ordinary periodic interest payments n The coupon threshold level for each Index is equal to 65% of its starting level n Automatic Call. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any of the quarterly calculation days from February 2023 to May 2026, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting level, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment n Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will receive the face amount at maturity if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities n The downside threshold level for each Index is equal to 60% of its starting level n If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Index from its starting level if its closing level on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, but you will not participate in any appreciation of any Index and will not receive any dividends on securities included in any Index n Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Index that is the lowest performing Index on each calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Indices. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Index performs poorly, even if the other Indices perform favorably n All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Credit Suisse; if Credit Suisse defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment n No exchange listing; you should be willing and able to hold your securities to maturity

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

| § | seek an investment with contingent coupon payments at a rate of at least 8.25% per annum (to be determined on the pricing date) until the earlier of the stated maturity date or automatic call, if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the applicable calculation day is greater than or equal to 65% of its starting level;

| § | are willing to accept the risk that if the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day has declined by more than 40% from its starting level, they will be fully exposed to the decline in the lowest performing Index from its starting level and will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity;

| § | are willing to accept the risk that they may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities;

| § | understand that the securities may be automatically called prior to maturity and that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately six months;

| § | understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Index that is the lowest performing Index on each calculation day and that they will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Indices;

| § | understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Indices or linked to a basket composed of the Indices;

| § | understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Index;

| § | are willing to forgo participation in any appreciation of any Index and dividends on securities included in the Indices; and

| § | are willing to hold the securities to maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

| § | seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;

| § | require full payment of the face amount of the securities at maturity;

| § | seek a security with a fixed term;

| § | are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;

| § | are unwilling to accept the risk that the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day may decline by more than 40% from its starting level;

| § | seek certainty of current income over the term of the securities;

| § | seek exposure to the upside performance of any or each Index;

| § | seek exposure to a basket composed of each Index or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Indices, rather than solely on the lowest performing Index;

| § | are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Indices;

| § | are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Credit Suisse; or

| § | prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Indices, please see the sections titled “The S&P 500® Index,” “The Russell 2000® Index” and “The EURO STOXX 50® Index” below.

Determining Payment on a Contingent Coupon Payment Date and at Maturity

If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the related calculation day.

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Index on any calculation day is the Index with the lowest performance factor on that calculation day. The performance factor of an Index on a calculation day is its closing level on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting level (i.e., its closing level on that calculation day divided by its starting level).

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon is paid on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day, as follows:

If the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity, then at maturity you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if any) a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is the Index with the lowest performance factor on the final calculation day. The performance factor of an Index on the final calculation day is its ending level as a percentage of its starting level (i.e., its ending level divided by its starting level).

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the ending level of the lowest performing Index, as follows:

Hypothetical Payout Profile

The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day from its starting level to its ending level, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to maturity. The performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, including the documents they incorporate by reference. An investment in the securities involves significant risks. This section describes material risks relating to an investment in the securities.

Risks Relating to the Securities Generally

If The Securities Are Not Automatically Called Prior To Maturity, You May Lose Some Or All Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at maturity. If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will receive a maturity payment amount that will be equal to or less than the face amount, depending on the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

If the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, the maturity payment amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the decline in the level of the lowest performing Index from its starting level (expressed as a percentage of its starting level). The downside threshold level for each Index is 60% of its starting level. For example, if the securities are not automatically called and the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day has declined by 40.1% from its starting level to its ending level, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside protection feature and you will lose 40.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day declines significantly and you may lose some, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity, even if the level of the lowest performing Index is greater than or equal to its starting level or its downside threshold level at certain times during the term of the securities.

Even if the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than its downside threshold level, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount, and your yield on the securities, taking into account any contingent coupon payments you may have received during the term of the securities, may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Credit Suisse or another issuer with a similar credit rating.

The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Credit Suisse.

Investors are dependent on our ability to pay all amounts due on the securities and, therefore, if we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities. 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.

Regardless Of The Amount Of Any Payment You Receive On The Securities, Your Actual Yield May Be Different In Real Value Terms.

Inflation may cause the real value of any payment you receive on the securities to be less at maturity than it is at the time you invest. An investment in the securities also represents a forgone opportunity to invest in an alternative asset that generates a higher real return. You should carefully consider whether an investment that may result in a return that is lower than the return on alternative investments is appropriate for you.

The Securities Will Not Pay More Than The Face Amount Of Your Securities, Plus Contingent Coupon Payments, If Any.

The securities will not pay more than the face amount of your securities, plus contingent coupon payments, if any, regardless of the performance of any Index. Even if the ending level of each Index is greater than its respective starting level, you will not participate in the appreciation of any Index. Therefore, the maximum amount payable with respect to the securities (excluding contingent coupon payments, if any) is $1,000 for each $1,000 face amount. This payment will not be increased to include reimbursement for any discounts or commissions and hedging and other transaction costs, even upon an automatic call.

The Securities Do Not Provide For Regular Fixed Interest Payments.

Unlike conventional debt securities, the securities do not provide for regular fixed interest payments. The number of contingent coupon payments you receive over the term of the securities, if any, will depend on the performance of the Indices during the term of the securities. On each contingent coupon payment date you will receive a contingent coupon payment if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the immediately preceding calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold level. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any calculation day is less than its coupon threshold level, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date, and if the closing level of the lowest performing Index is

less than its coupon threshold level on each calculation day over the term of the securities, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments during the term of the securities. Thus, the securities are not an appropriate investment for investors who require regular fixed income payments, since the number of contingent coupon payments is variable and may be zero.

In addition, if interest rates generally increase over the term of the securities, it is more likely that the contingent coupon payment, if any, could be less than the yield one might receive based on market rates at that time. This would have the further effect of decreasing the value of your securities both nominally in terms of below-market coupons and in real value terms. Furthermore, it is possible that you will not receive some or all of the contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities, and still lose your initial investment. Even if you do receive some or all of your initial investment at maturity, you will not be compensated for the time value of money. These securities are not short-term investments, so you should carefully consider these risks before investing.

Contingent Coupon Payments, If Any, Are Paid On A Periodic Basis And Are Based Solely On The Closing Levels Of The Indices On The Specified Calculation Days.

Whether the contingent coupon will be paid with respect to a calculation day will be based on the closing levels of the Indices on such day. As a result, you will not know whether you will receive the contingent coupon until near the end of the relevant period. Moreover, because the contingent coupon is based solely on the closing levels of the Indices on a specific calculation day, if the closing level of an Index is less than its coupon threshold level on a calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon with respect to such calculation day, even if the closing level of such Index was higher on other days during the relevant period.

The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Index And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Index Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Indices Perform Favorably.

You are subject to the full risks of each Index. If any Index performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Indices perform favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Indices, where the better performance of some Indices could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Index is the lowest performing Index on each calculation day. For example, if one Index appreciates from its starting level to its ending level, but the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the depreciation of the lowest performing Index and you will not benefit from the performance of the Index that appreciated. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Indices or linked to a basket composed of the Indices. Each additional Index to which the securities are linked increases the risk that the securities will perform poorly. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Index.

It is impossible to predict the relationship between the Indices. If the performances of the Indices exhibit no correlation to each other, it is more likely that one of the Indices will cause the securities to perform poorly. However, if the performances of the equity securities included in each Index are related such that the performances of the Indices are correlated, then there is less likelihood that only one Index will cause the securities to perform poorly. Furthermore, to the extent that each Index represents a different market segment or market sector, the risk of one Index performing poorly is greater. As a result, you are not only taking market risk on each Index, you are also taking a risk relating to the relationship among the Indices.

Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Index That Is The Lowest Performing Index On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Indices.

Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Index that is the lowest performing Index on each calculation day. Although it is necessary for each Index to close at or above its respective coupon threshold level or downside threshold level, as applicable, on the relevant calculation day in order for you to receive a contingent coupon payment and for you to receive the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Indices. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Indices, since in such case the performance of the better performing Indices would be blended with the performance of the lowest performing Index, resulting in a better return than the return of the lowest performing Index alone.

The Starting Level of Any Index May Be Determined On A Date Later Than The Pricing Date.

The starting level of any Index may be determined after the pricing date. In the event that the closing level for any Index is not available on the pricing date, the starting level for such Index will be determined on the immediately following trading day on which a closing level is available. Under these circumstances, you will not know the starting level of such Index until a date later than the pricing date.

More Favorable Terms Are Generally Associated With Greater Expected Volatility, And Can Indicate A Greater Risk Of Loss.

“Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level of an Index. The greater the expected volatility with respect to an Index on the pricing date, the higher the expectation as of the pricing date that the closing level of such Index could be less than

its (i) coupon threshold level on any calculation day or (ii) downside threshold level on the final calculation date, indicating a higher expected risk of loss on the securities. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher contingent coupon rate than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity, or in more favorable terms (such as lower coupon threshold levels or downside threshold levels) than for similar securities linked to the performance of an index with a lower expected volatility as of the pricing date. You should therefore understand that a relatively higher contingent coupon rate may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, relatively lower coupon threshold levels or downside threshold levels may not necessarily indicate that you will receive a contingent coupon payment on any contingent coupon payment date or that the securities have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity. The volatility of any Index can change significantly over the term of the securities. The levels of the Indices for your securities could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the Indices and the potential to lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity.

The Securities Are Subject To A Potential Automatic Call, Which Would Limit Your Opportunity To Be Paid Contingent Coupons Over The Full Term Of The Securities.

The securities are subject to a potential automatic call. If the securities are automatically called, no further payments will be made in respect of the securities and you will lose the opportunity to continue to be paid contingent coupon payments from the call settlement date to the stated maturity date.

The Securities Are Subject To A Potential Automatic Call, Which Exposes You To Reinvestment Risk.

The securities are subject to a potential automatic call. If the securities are automatically called prior to maturity, you may be unable to invest in other securities with a similar level of risk that provide you with the opportunity to be paid the same coupons as the securities.

A Contingent Coupon Payment Date, A Call Settlement Date And The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If A Calculation Day Is Postponed.

A calculation day (including the final calculation day) with respect to an Index will be postponed if the applicable originally scheduled calculation day is not a trading day with respect to any Index or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing with respect to that Index on that calculation day. If such a postponement occurs with respect to a calculation day other than the final calculation day, then the related contingent coupon payment date or call settlement date, as applicable, will be postponed. If such a postponement occurs with respect to the final calculation day, the stated maturity date will be the later of (i) the initial stated maturity date and (ii) three business days after the last final calculation day as postponed. For additional information, see “Terms of the Securities—Market Disruption Events and Postponement Provisions” herein.

The U.S. Federal Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as described in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” below. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. investors and the withholding tax consequences to non-U.S. investors, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.

Risks Relating to the Indices

Any Payments On The Securities And Whether The Securities Are Automatically Called Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Indices And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

| · | Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Indices. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Indices. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in the Indices for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities included in the Indices would have.

The Securities Are Linked To The Russell 2000® Index And Are Subject To The Risks Associated With Small-Capitalization Companies.

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.

The Closing Level Of The EURO STOXX 50® Index Will Not Be Adjusted For Changes In Exchange Rates Relative To The U.S. Dollar Even Though The Equity Securities Included In The EURO STOXX 50® Index Are Traded In A Foreign Currency And The Securities Are Denominated In U.S. Dollars.

The value of your securities will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are based. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the securities, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your return, if any, at maturity.

Foreign Securities Markets Risk.

Some or all of the assets included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index are issued by foreign companies and trade in foreign securities markets. Investments in the securities therefore involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, government intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, foreign companies are generally subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index may be more volatile than domestic equity securities and may be subject to different political, market, economic, exchange rate, regulatory and other risks, including changes in foreign governments, economic and fiscal policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions. Moreover, the economies of foreign countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy of the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency. These factors may adversely affect the values of the equity securities included in the EURO STOXX 50® Index, and therefore the performance of the EURO STOXX 50® Index and the value of the securities.

Government Regulatory Action, Including Legislative Acts And Executive Orders, Could Result In Material Changes To The Indices And Could Negatively Affect Your Return On The Securities.

Government regulatory action, including legislative acts and executive orders, could materially affect the Indices. For example, in response to recent executive orders, stocks of companies that are determined to be linked to the People’s Republic of China military, intelligence and security apparatus may be delisted from a U.S. exchange, removed as a component in indices or exchange traded funds, or transactions in, or holdings of, securities with exposure to such stocks may otherwise become prohibited under U.S. law. If government regulatory action results in such consequences, there may be a material and negative effect on the securities.

Risks Relating to the Issuer

Credit Suisse Is Subject To Swiss Regulation.

As a Swiss bank, Credit Suisse is subject to regulation by governmental agencies, supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations in Switzerland. Such regulation is increasingly more extensive and complex and subjects Credit Suisse to risks. For example, pursuant to Swiss banking laws, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) may open resolution proceedings if there are justified concerns that Credit Suisse is over-indebted, has serious liquidity problems or no longer fulfills capital adequacy requirements. FINMA has broad powers and discretion in the case of resolution proceedings, which include the power to convert debt instruments and other liabilities of Credit Suisse into equity and/or cancel such liabilities in whole or in part.

one or more of these measures were imposed, such measures may adversely affect the terms and market value of the securities and/or the ability of Credit Suisse to make payments thereunder and you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

Hedging And Trading Activity Could Adversely Affect Our Payment To You At Maturity.

Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) or WFS (or any of its affiliates) may carry out hedging activities related to the securities, including in instruments related to the Indices. Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) or WFS (or any of its affiliates) may also trade instruments related to the Indices from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date and during the term of the securities could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.

Our Economic Interests Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent for the offering of the securities, 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.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value and Secondary Market Prices of the Securities

Unpredictable Economic And Market Factors Will Affect The Value Of The Securities.

The payout on the securities can be replicated using a combination of the components described in “The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date May Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.” Therefore, in addition to the levels of any Index, the terms of the securities at issuance and the value of the securities prior to maturity may be influenced by factors that impact the value of fixed income securities and options in general, such as:

| o | the expected and actual volatility of the Indices;

| o | the expected and actual correlation, if any, between the Indices;

| o | the time to maturity of the securities;

| o | the dividend rate on the equity securities included in the Indices;

| o | interest and yield rates in the market generally;

| o | investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

| o | geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events that affect the components included in the Indices or markets generally and which may affect the levels of the Indices; 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. 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.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date May Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.

The initial estimated value of your securities on the pricing date (as determined by reference to our pricing models and our internal funding rate) may be significantly less than the original offering price. The original offering price of the securities includes any 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 pricing 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 proprietary pricing models dependent on inputs such as volatility, correlation, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, including assumptions about future market events and/or environments. These inputs may be market-observable or may be based on assumptions made by us in our discretionary judgment. As such, the payout on the securities can be replicated using a combination of these components and the value of these components, as determined by us using our pricing models, will impact the terms of the securities at issuance. Our option

valuation models are proprietary. Our pricing models 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.

If On The Pricing Date The Internal Funding Rate We Use In Structuring Notes Such As These Securities Is 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”), 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.

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 pricing 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 “The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which Credit Suisse Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market” below.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which Credit Suisse Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

If Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) or WFS (or any of its affiliates) bid for your securities in secondary market transactions, the secondary market price (and the value used for account statements or otherwise) may be higher or lower than the original offering price and the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date. Neither Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) nor WFS (or any of its affiliates) is obligated to make a secondary market. The estimated value of the securities on the cover of this pricing supplement does not represent a minimum price at which Credit Suisse or WFS 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, the related inputs and other factors, including our internal funding rate, customary bid and ask spreads and other transaction costs, changes in market conditions and deterioration or improvement in our creditworthiness. In circumstances where our internal funding rate is higher than our secondary market credit spreads, our secondary market bid for your securities could be less favorable than what other dealers might bid because, assuming all else equal, we use the higher internal funding rate to price the securities and other dealers might use the lower secondary market credit spread to price them. Furthermore, assuming no change in market conditions from the pricing date, the secondary market price of your securities will be lower than the original offering price because it will not include any 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.

Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) or WFS (or any of its affiliates) 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, which may include discounts and commissions that were included in the original offering price, and that higher price may also be initially used for account statements or otherwise. Credit Suisse (or any of its affiliates) or WFS (or any of its affiliates) 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 four 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.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any automated quotation system. Although we or our affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, we are not obligated to do so and we are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which we are willing to buy your securities. If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there

Hypothetical Returns

If the securities are automatically called:

If the securities are automatically called prior to maturity, you will receive the face amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment on the call settlement date. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment received on the call settlement date.

If the securities are not automatically called:

If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical performance factors of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any). The performance factor of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is its ending level expressed as a percentage of its starting level (i.e., its ending level divided by its starting level).

Hypothetical performance factor of lowest performing Index on final calculation day | Hypothetical maturity payment amount per security
200.00% | $1,000.00
175.00% | $1,000.00
160.00% | $1,000.00

40.00% | $400.00
30.00% | $300.00
25.00% | $250.00
0.00% | $0.00

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, the actual amount you will receive at maturity will depend on the actual ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payments

Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent coupon payment date prior to maturity. The examples do not reflect any specific contingent coupon payment date. The following examples assume that the securities are subject to automatic call on the applicable calculation day. The securities will not be subject to automatic call until the second calculation day, which is approximately six months after the issue date. The following examples reflect a hypothetical contingent coupon rate of 8.25% per annum (the minimum contingent coupon rate that may be determined on the pricing date) and assume the hypothetical starting level, coupon threshold level and closing level for each Index indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting level or coupon threshold level. The hypothetical starting level of 100 for each Index has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting level for any Index. The actual starting level and coupon threshold level for each Index and the actual contingent coupon rate will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Indices, see the historical information set forth herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Example 1. The closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold level and less than its starting level. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical closing level on relevant calculation day: | 90 | 95 | 80
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Performance factor (closing level on calculation day divided by starting level): | 90% | 95% | 80%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the EURO STOXX 50® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold level, but less than its starting level, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to $20.63 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 8.25% per annum divided by (ii) 4, rounded to the nearest cent.

Example 2. The closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is less than its coupon threshold level. As a result, investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical closing level on relevant calculation day: | 60 | 125 | 105
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Performance factor (closing level on calculation day divided by starting level): | 60% | 125% | 105%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is less than its coupon threshold level, you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date. In addition, the securities would not be automatically called, even though the closing levels of the better performing Indices on the relevant calculation day are greater than their starting levels. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day. The performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities.

Example 3. The closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting level. As a result, the securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment.

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical closing level on relevant calculation day: | 115 | 105 | 130
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Performance factor (closing level on calculation day divided by starting level): | 115% | 105% | 130%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

In this example, the Russell 2000® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day.

Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.

Since the hypothetical closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting level, the securities would be automatically called and you would receive the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. On the call settlement date, you would receive $1,020.63 per security.

If the securities are automatically called prior to maturity, you will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Hypothetical Payment at Maturity

Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity and assuming the hypothetical starting level, coupon threshold level, downside threshold level and ending level for each Index indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting level, coupon threshold level or downside threshold level. The hypothetical starting level of 100 for each Index has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting level for any Index. The actual starting level, coupon threshold level and downside threshold level for each Index will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing levels of the Indices, see the historical information set forth herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical ending level: | 145 | 135 | 125
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Hypothetical downside threshold level: | 60 | 60 | 60
Performance factor (ending level divided by starting level): | 145% | 135% | 125%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

In this example, the EURO STOXX 50® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical downside threshold level, the maturity payment amount would equal the face amount. Although the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting level in this scenario, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face amount.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security and, because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold level, a final contingent coupon payment.

Example 2. The ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its starting level but greater than its downside threshold level and coupon threshold level, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment:

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical ending level: | 85 | 115 | 110
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Hypothetical downside threshold level: | 60 | 60 | 60
Performance factor (ending level divided by starting level): | 85% | 115% | 110%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

In this example, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting level, but greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, you would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security and, because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold level, a final contingent coupon payment.

Example 3. The ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its starting level and its coupon threshold level but greater than its downside threshold level, the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment:

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical ending level: | 63 | 115 | 110
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Hypothetical downside threshold level: | 60 | 60 | 60
Performance factor (ending level divided by starting level): | 63% | 115% | 110%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

In this example, the S&P 500® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its hypothetical starting level, but greater than or equal to its downside threshold level, you would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. However, because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index is less than its coupon threshold level, you will not receive a final contingent coupon payment.

Example 4. The ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment:

| S&P 500® Index | Russell 2000® Index | EURO STOXX 50® Index
Hypothetical starting level: | 100 | 100 | 100
Hypothetical ending level: | 120 | 45 | 90
Hypothetical coupon threshold level: | 65 | 65 | 65
Hypothetical downside threshold level: | 60 | 60 | 60
Performance factor (ending level divided by starting level): | 120% | 45% | 90%

Step 1: Determine which Index is the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

In this example, the Russell 2000® Index has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day.

Since the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive a maturity payment amount equal to $450 per security, calculated as follows:

= $1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day

= $1,000 × 45%

= $450

In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $450 per security. Because the hypothetical ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold level, you would not receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.

These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Index, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Index from its starting level to its ending level if the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold level, even if the ending levels of the other Indices have appreciated or have not declined below their respective downside threshold level.

To the extent that the starting level, coupon threshold level, downside threshold level and ending level of the lowest performing Index differ from the values assumed above, the results indicated above would be different.

United States Federal Tax Considerations

This discussion supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, supersedes the discussion in the accompanying product supplement under “United States Federal Tax Considerations.”

Due to the lack of any controlling legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities. In the opinion of our counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, it is reasonable under current law to treat the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid financial contracts with associated coupons that will be treated as gross income to you at the time received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting. However, our counsel has advised us that it is unable to conclude affirmatively that this treatment is more likely than not to be upheld, and that alternative treatments are possible that could materially affect the timing and character of income or loss you recognize on the securities. Moreover, our counsel’s opinion is based on market conditions as of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement and is subject to confirmation on the pricing date.

Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected and subject to the discussion in “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result:

| · | Any coupons paid on the securities should be taxable as ordinary income to you at the time received or accrued in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

| · | Upon a sale or other disposition (including retirement) of a security, you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the security. For this purpose, the amount realized does not include any coupon paid on retirement and may not include sale proceeds attributable to an accrued coupon, which may be treated as a coupon payment. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you held the security for more than one year.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the treatment of the securities, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment described herein. In particular, the securities might be determined to be contingent payment debt instruments, in which case the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.

Non-U.S. Holders. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the coupons is unclear. Subject to the discussion below and in the accompanying product supplement under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders” and “United States Federal Tax Considerations—FATCA,” we currently do not intend to treat coupons paid to a Non-U.S. Holder (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) of the securities as subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that the Non-U.S. Holder complies with applicable certification requirements. However, it is possible that the IRS could assert that such payments are subject to U.S. withholding tax, or that we or another withholding agent may otherwise determine that withholding is required, in which case we or the other withholding agent may withhold at a rate of up to 30% on such payments.

Moreover, as discussed under “United States Federal Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders—Dividend Equivalents under Section 871(m) of the Code” in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally imposes a 30% withholding tax on “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities. Treasury regulations under Section 871(m), as modified by an IRS notice, exclude from their scope financial instruments issued prior to January 1, 2023 that do not have a “delta” of one with respect to any U.S. equity. Based on the terms of the securities and representations provided by us as of the date of this preliminary pricing supplement, our counsel is of the opinion that the securities should not be treated as transactions that have a “delta” of one within the meaning of the regulations with respect to any U.S. equity and, therefore, should not be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m). However, the final determination regarding the treatment of the securities under Section 871(m) will be made as of the pricing date for the securities and it is possible that the securities will be subject to withholding tax under Section 871(m) based on circumstances on that date.

A determination that the securities are not subject to Section 871(m) is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Moreover, Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including your other transactions. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.

We will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes.

You should read the section entitled “United States Federal Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement. The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP regarding the material U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.

You should also consult your tax advisor regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the securities and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

MARKET LINKED SECURITIES – AUTO-CALLABLE WITH CONTINGENT COUPON AND CONTINGENT DOWNSIDE LINKED TO THE LOWEST PERFORMING UNDERLYING ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Market Linked Securities – Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying have complex features and are not appropriate for all investors. Before deciding to make an investment, you should read and understand the applicable preliminary pricing supplement and other related offering documents provided by the applicable issuer.

Market Linked Securities – Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying

Market Linked Securities – Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying (“these Market Linked Securities”) offer the potential to receive contingent coupon payments at a higher rate than the issuer would pay on ordinary debt securities of comparable maturity. In exchange, these Market Linked Securities are subject to greater risks than ordinary debt securities, including the risk that one or more, or all, contingent coupon payments may not be paid and the risk that you may lose a significant portion, or possibly all, of your investment at maturity. The contingent coupon payments and the risk of loss at maturity will depend on the performance of the lowest performing of two or more specified market measures, which may be indices or exchange-traded funds (the “underlyings”). If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying has not declined below a specified threshold level on a designated calculation day, you will receive a contingent coupon payment on the related payment date; however, if the lowest performing underlying has declined below its threshold level, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment for that payment date. If the lowest performing underlying has declined below a specified threshold level on the final calculation day, you will incur a loss at maturity equal to the full decline of the lowest performing underlying. If the lowest performing underlying is flat or has appreciated as of a designated call date, these Market Linked Securities will be automatically called prior to maturity, ending the potential to receive any future contingent coupon payments.

These Market Linked Securities are designed for investors who seek the potential for contingent coupon payments at a higher rate than the rate the issuer would pay on ordinary debt securities of comparable maturity and, in exchange, are willing to assume the downside risk of the lowest performing underlying. Although investors will be exposed to the downside risk of the lowest performing underlying, investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying. The return on these Market Linked Securities will depend solely on the performance of the underlying that is the lowest performing underlying on each calculation day. Therefore, investors will be adversely affected if any underlying declines below its threshold level, even if the other underlying(s) perform favorably. If the issuer defaults on its payment obligations, you could lose your entire investment.

These Market Linked Securities are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer. You will have no ability to pursue any underlying or any assets included in any underlying for payment.

2| Market Linked Securities — Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying

Market Linked Securities – Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying

Unlike ordinary debt securities, these Market Linked Securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity, and are subject to potential automatic call prior to maturity upon the terms described below. Whether these Market Linked Securities pay a contingent coupon, whether they are automatically called prior to maturity, and, if they are not automatically called, whether you are repaid your principal at maturity will depend, in each case, on the performance of the lowest performing underlying. The lowest performing underlying on each calculation day is the underlying that has the lowest closing level on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting level (i.e., its closing level divided by its starting level).

The key features of these Market Linked Securities are described below.

| · | Contingent coupon payments: These Market Linked Securities provide for contingent coupon payments on periodic contingent coupon payment dates (typically occurring quarterly, semi-annually or annually throughout the term of these Market Linked Securities). On each contingent coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon payment if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the related calculation day (typically three to five business days prior to the contingent coupon payment date) has not declined below a specified threshold level. If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on a given calculation day, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of these Market Linked Securities.

| · | Automatic call: These Market Linked Securities will be subject to automatic call prior to maturity on specified call dates (which are generally a subset of the calculation days, typically beginning after a specified “non-call period”). If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on any call date is greater than or equal to its closing level on the pricing date (its starting level), these Market Linked Securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date (typically three to five business days after the relevant call date), you will receive a cash payment equal to the original offering price, plus a final contingent coupon payment, and no further payments will be made. The automatic call feature limits your potential to receive contingent coupon payments over the full term of the securities if the lowest performing underlying has appreciated as of a designated call date. If these Market Linked Securities have a non-call period, you have the ability to receive contingent coupon payments during such non-call period, if the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on a calculation day during such non-call period has not declined below its threshold level.

| · | Potential loss of principal: If these Market Linked Securities are not automatically called prior to maturity, you will be repaid your principal at maturity if, and only if, the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the final calculation day (its ending level) has not declined below a specified threshold level. If these Market Linked Securities are not automatically called prior to maturity and the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level, you will have full downside exposure to the decline in the level of the lowest performing underlying from its starting level, and you will incur a significant loss at maturity.

The threshold level for each underlying will be less than its starting level. A particular issuance of these Market Linked Securities may specify a single threshold level (for each underlying) that is applicable to both the contingent coupon payments and the contingent repayment of principal at maturity, or it may specify two different threshold levels (i.e., a coupon threshold level applicable to the contingent coupon payments and a separate downside threshold level applicable to the contingent repayment of principal at maturity).

Any return on these Market Linked Securities will be limited to the sum of the contingent coupon payments, if any. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlying, but will be fully exposed to any decline of the lowest performing underlying, if its ending level is less than its threshold level.

The return on these Market Linked Securities will depend solely on the performance of the underlying that is the lowest performing underlying on each calculation day and/or call date. Investors will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing underlying(s). Therefore, investors will be adversely affected if any underlying declines below its threshold level(s), even if the other underlying(s) perform favorably. These Market Linked Securities are riskier than they would otherwise be if they were linked to only one of the underlyings or linked to a basket composed of each underlying. These Market Linked Securities will be subject to the full risks of each underlying, with no offsetting benefit from the better performing underlying(s).

Determining payment on a contingent coupon payment date, call settlement date, or at maturity

Unless these Market Linked Securities are previously called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment or you will not receive a contingent coupon payment, depending on the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the related calculation day.

On each call date, these Market Linked Securities may be automatically called depending on the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on that call date. The diagram below illustrates how to determine whether these Market Linked Securities will be automatically called and the payment upon automatic call (in additional to a final contingent coupon payment) assuming an offering price of $1,000 per security.

If these Market Linked Securities have not been called prior to maturity, the payment at maturity will be based on the ending level, threshold level, and starting level of the lowest performing underlying on the final calculation day. The diagram below illustrates how to determine the payment at maturity (in addition to a final contingent coupon payment, if any) assuming an offering price of $1,000 per security.

Hypothetical examples

The examples below are hypothetical and are provided for informational purposes only. They are not intended to represent any specific return, yield, or investment. They do not illustrate all possible outcomes and they are not indicative of future results. The examples illustrate the contingent coupon payments, the automatic call feature and, if an automatic call does not occur, the payment at maturity of these Market Linked Securities, assuming the following terms:

Term: | Three years, unless earlier automatically called
Original Offering Price: | $1,000 per Market Linked Security
Calculation Days/Contingent Coupon Payment Dates: | Semi-annually
Call Dates: | Semi-annually (on each calculation day starting approximately one year after issuance)
Contingent Coupon Rate: | 7.00% per annum (or 3.5% per semi-annual period)
Threshold Level: | With respect to each underlying, 70% of its starting level

The examples below assume that these Market Linked Securities are linked to the lowest performing of two underlyings. However, a particular issuance of these Market Linked Securities may be linked to the lowest performing of three or more underlyings. With more underlyings, you will be exposed to a greater risk of not receiving contingent coupon payments, and of incurring a significant loss on your investment at maturity.

The first two hypothetical examples below illustrate scenarios in which these Market Linked Securities are automatically called on a call date prior to maturity. The third and fourth hypothetical examples below illustrate scenarios in which these Market Linked Securities are not automatically called and the payment at maturity is based on the performance of the lowest performing underlying from its starting level to its ending level.

In the examples below, the color blue indicates that the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is greater than or equal to its starting level; the color green indicates that the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its starting level, but greater than or equal to its threshold level; and the color red indicates that the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level. The lowest performing underlying on a given calculation day is the underlying that had the lowest closing level on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting level (i.e., its closing level divided by its starting level).

Example 1: These Market Linked Securities are automatically called on the first call date.

Calculation Day/ Call Date | Closing level of Underlying 1 (% of its starting level) | Closing level of Underlying 2 (% of its starting level) | Payment (% of original offering price)
6 months from the pricing date | 105% | 115% | Contingent coupon payment date: 3.5%
1 year from the pricing date (first call date) | 110% | 120% | Call settlement date: 103.5%

Because of the one-year non-call period, even though the closing level of the lowest performing underlying was greater than its starting level on the first calculation day (six months from the pricing date), these Market Linked Securities would not be automatically called, and you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. Because the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the first call date (one year from the pricing date) is greater than its starting level, these Market Linked Securities would be automatically called on the first call date. On the related call settlement date, you would receive $1,035.00 per Market Linked Security, which is equal to the original offering price plus the contingent coupon payment due on the call settlement date (which is also a contingent coupon payment date). No further amounts will be owed to you under these Market Linked Securities.

Market Linked Securities — Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying | 5

Example 2: These Market Linked Securities are automatically called on the third call date.

Calculation Day/ Call Date | Closing level of Underlying 1 (% of its starting level) | Closing level of Underlying 2 (% of its starting level) | Payment (% of original offering price)
6 months from the pricing date | 105% | 60% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
1 year from the pricing date (first call date) | 107% | 65% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
18 months from the pricing date | 110% | 69% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
2 years from the pricing date | 115% | 105% | Call settlement date: 103.5%

Because the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on the first three calculation days (and first two call dates), these Market Linked Securities would not be automatically called and you would not receive a contingent coupon payment on those dates, even though the closing level of the better performing underlying on those dates was greater than its threshold level. Because the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the third call date is greater than its starting level, these Market Linked Securities would be automatically called on that call date. On the related call settlement date, you would receive $1,035.00 per Market Linked Security, which is equal to the original offering price plus the contingent coupon payment due on the call settlement date (which is also a contingent coupon payment date). No further amounts will be owed to you under these Market Linked Securities.

As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon payment, and whether these Market Linked Securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the closing level of the lowest performing underlying on the relevant calculation day and/or call date. The performance of the better performing underlying is not relevant to your return on these Market Linked Securities.

Example 3: These Market Linked Securities are NOT automatically called prior to maturity and the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is greater than its threshold level.

Calculation Day/ Call Date | Closing level of Underlying 1 (% of its starting level) | Closing level of Underlying 2 (% of its starting level) | Payment (% of original offering price)
6 months from the pricing date | 90% | 120% | Contingent coupon payment date: 3.5%
1 year from the pricing date (first call date) | 101% | 80% | Contingent coupon payment date: 3.5%
18 months from the pricing date | 80% | 65% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
2 years from the pricing date | 60% | 90% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
30 months from the pricing date | 65% | 95% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
3 years from the pricing date | 75% (ending level) | 110% (ending level) | Maturity date: 103.5%

Because the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its starting level on each call date, these Market Linked Securities would not be automatically called prior to maturity. The closing level of the lowest performing underlying is greater than its threshold level on three of the six calculation days, resulting in a contingent coupon payment on three of the contingent coupon payment dates (including the maturity date), but no contingent coupon payment on the other three contingent coupon payment dates. On the final calculation day, because the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is greater than its threshold level, on the maturity date you would receive $1,035.00 per Market Linked Security, which is equal to the original offering price plus the contingent coupon payment due on the maturity date (which is also a contingent coupon payment date).

Example 4: These Market Linked Securities are NOT automatically called prior to maturity and the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level.

Calculation Day/ Call Date | Closing level of Underlying 1 (% of its starting level) | Closing level of Underlying 2 (% of its starting level) | Payment (% of original offering price)
6 months from the pricing date | 80% | 68% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
1 year from the pricing date (first call date) | 100% | 65% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
18 months from the pricing date | 90% | 62% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
2 years from the pricing date | 110% | 55% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
30 months from the pricing date | 120% | 45% | Contingent coupon payment date: 0.0%
3 years from the pricing date | 130% (ending level) | 50% (ending level) | Maturity date: 50.0%

Because the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on each calculation day and call date, these Market Linked Securities would not be automatically called prior to maturity, and would not pay a contingent coupon payment on any contingent coupon payment date. On the final calculation day, because the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level, you would incur a loss on your investment equal to the full decline of the lowest performing underlying from its starting level to its ending level. Your payment at maturity in this example would be calculated as follows (assuming Underlying 2, which was the lowest performing underlying on the final calculation day, had a hypothetical starting level of 1,000 and a hypothetical ending level of 500):

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $500.00 per Market Linked Security, resulting in a loss of 50%.

This example illustrates that you will not participate in any appreciation of either underlying, but will be fully exposed to the depreciation of the lowest performing underlying, if its ending level on the final calculation day is less than its threshold level, even if the ending level of the other underlying has appreciated or has not declined below its respective threshold level.

All payments on these Market Linked Securities are subject to the ability of the issuer to make such payments to you when they are due, and you will have no ability to pursue any underlying or any asset included in any underlying for payment. If the issuer defaults on its payment obligations, you could lose your entire investment.

This information, including the graph to the right, is hypothetical and is provided for informational purposes only. It is not intended to represent any specific return, yield or investment, nor is it indicative of future results. The graph illustrates the potential payment at maturity on these Market Linked Securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any), assuming these Market Linked Securities have not been automatically called prior to maturity. This graph does not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of these Market Linked Securities. As evidenced in this graph, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the payment at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any. |

Estimated value of Market Linked Securities – Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying

The original offering price of these Market Linked Securities will include certain costs that are borne by you. Because of these costs, the estimated value of these Market Linked Securities on the pricing date will be less than the original offering price. If specified in the applicable pricing supplement, these costs may include the underwriting discount or commission, the hedging profits of the issuer’s hedging counterparty (which may be an affiliate of the issuer), and hedging and other costs associated with the offering and costs relating to the issuer’s funding considerations for debt of this type. See “General risks and investment considerations” herein and the applicable pricing supplement for more information.

The issuer will disclose the estimated value of these Market Linked Securities in the applicable pricing supplement. The estimated value of these Market Linked Securities will be determined by estimating the value of the combination of hypothetical financial instruments that would replicate the payout on these Market Linked Securities, which combination consists of a non-interest bearing, fixed-income bond and one or more derivative instruments underlying the economic terms of these Market Linked Securities. You should read the applicable pricing supplement for more information about the estimated value of these Market Linked Securities and how it is determined.

Which investments are right for you?

It is important to read and understand the applicable preliminary pricing supplement and other related offering documents, and consider several factors before making an investment decision.

An investment in these Market Linked Securities may help you modify your portfolio’s risk-return profile to more closely reflect your market views. However, at maturity you may incur a loss on your investment, and you will forgo guaranteed interest payments and any return in excess of the contingent coupon payments, if any.

These Market Linked Securities are not appropriate for all investors, but may be appropriate for investors who:

| · | Seek the potential for contingent coupon payments at a higher rate than the issuer would pay on ordinary debt securities of comparable maturity and, in exchange, are willing to assume the risk of not receiving some or any contingent coupon payments and the downside risk of the lowest performing underlying if the lowest performing underlying declines below its threshold level

| · | Seek to supplement their existing investments with the return profile provided by these Market Linked Securities

You can find a discussion of risks and investment considerations on the next page and in the preliminary pricing supplement and other related offering documents for these Market Linked Securities. The following questions, which you should review with your financial advisor, are intended to initiate a conversation about whether these Market Linked Securities are right for you.

| · | Are you dependent on your investments for current income? Can you accept the risk that these Market Linked Securities may not pay one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments?

| · | Are you comfortable with the potential loss of a significant portion, and possibly all, of your initial investment as a result of a decline of the lowest performing underlying below its threshold level?

| · | Are you comfortable accepting the full downside risks of each underlying?

| · | What is your time horizon? Do you foresee liquidity needs? Will you be able to hold these investments until maturity or earlier automatic call?

| · | Are you willing to forgo participation in any appreciation of any underlying?

| · | What is your sensitivity to the tax treatment for your investments?

| · | Are you willing to accept the credit risk of the applicable issuer?

Before making an investment decision, please work with your financial advisor to determine which investment products may be appropriate given your financial situation, investment goals, and risk profile.

General risks and investment considerations

These Market Linked Securities have complex features and are not appropriate for all investors. They involve a variety of risks and may be linked to a variety of different underlyings. Each of these Market Linked Securities and each underlying will have its own unique set of risks and investment considerations. Before you invest in these Market Linked Securities, you should thoroughly review the relevant preliminary pricing supplement and other related offering documents for a comprehensive discussion of the risks associated with the investment. The following are general risks and investment considerations applicable to these Market Linked Securities:

| · | Principal risk. These Market Linked Securities are not structured to repay your full original offering price on the stated maturity date. If these Market Linked Securities are not automatically called and the ending level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level, you will be fully exposed to the decline of the lowest performing underlying from its starting level to its ending level and the payment you receive at maturity will be less than the original offering price of these Market Linked Securities. Under these circumstances, you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of your investment.

| · | Contingent coupon risk. These Market Linked Securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest. If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on a given calculation day, you will not receive a contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. If the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is less than its threshold level on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of these Market Linked Securities.

| · | Limited return potential. Even though you will be fully exposed to any decline in the level of the lowest performing underlying, if its ending level is below its threshold level, you will not participate in any increase in the level of any underlying over the term of these Market Linked Securities. Your maximum possible return on these Market Linked Securities will be limited to the sum of the contingent coupon payments you receive, if any.

| · | Automatic call risk. If these Market Linked Securities are automatically called, the term of these Market Linked Securities will be less than the full term to maturity. The automatic call feature will limit your potential to receive contingent coupon payments over the full term of these Market Linked Securities if the closing level of the lowest performing underlying is greater than or equal to its starting level as of a designated call date. If these Market Linked Securities are automatically called, there is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds at a comparable return for a similar level of risk.

| · | Lowest performing underlying risk. These Market Linked Securities are subject to the full risks of each underlying and will be negatively affected if any underlying declines below its threshold level, even if the other underlying(s) perform favorably. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing underlying(s). These Market Linked Securities are not linked to a basket composed of the underlyings, where the better performance of one underlying could offset the poor performance of the other underlying(s). Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever underlying is the lowest performing underlying on each calculation day and/or call date. As a result, these Market Linked Securities are riskier than they would otherwise be if they were linked to only one of the underlyings or linked to a basket composed of each underlying.

| · | Correlation risk. It is generally preferable from your perspective for the underlyings to be correlated with each other during the term of these Market Linked Securities, so that their levels will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in these Market Linked Securities, you assume the risk that the underlyings will not exhibit this relationship. If the underlyings have low historical correlation, these Market Linked Securities will typically offer a higher contingent coupon rate, but it will be more likely that one of the underlyings will be performing poorly at any time over the term of these Market Linked Securities. All that is necessary for these Market Linked Securities to perform poorly is for one of the underlyings to decline below its threshold level; the performance of the better performing underlying(s) is not relevant to your return.

| · | Liquidity risk. These Market Linked Securities are not appropriate for investors who may have liquidity needs prior to maturity. These Market Linked Securities are not listed on any securities exchange and are generally illiquid instruments. Neither Wells Fargo Securities nor any other person is required to maintain a secondary market for these Market Linked Securities. Accordingly, you may be unable to sell your Market Linked Securities prior to their maturity date. If you choose to sell these Market Linked Securities prior to maturity, assuming a buyer is available, you may receive less in sale proceeds than the original offering price.

| · | Market value uncertain. These Market Linked Securities are not appropriate for investors who need their investments to maintain a stable value during their term. The value of your Market Linked Securities prior to maturity or automatic call will be affected by numerous factors, such as performance, volatility, dividend rate of the underlyings (if applicable), interest rates, the time remaining to maturity, the correlation between the underlyings, and the applicable issuer’s creditworthiness. The value of these Market Linked Securities will also be limited by the automatic call feature.

| · | Costs to investors. The original offering price of these Market Linked Securities will include certain costs that are borne by you. These costs will adversely affect the economic terms of these Market Linked Securities and will cause their estimated value on the pricing date to be less than the original offering price. If specified in the applicable pricing supplement, these costs may include the underwriting discount or commission, the hedging profits of the issuer’s hedging counterparty (which may be an affiliate of the issuer), hedging and other costs associated with the offering, and costs relating to the issuer’s funding considerations for debt of this type. These costs will adversely affect any secondary market

10| Market Linked Securities — Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Linked to the Lowest Performing Underlying

price for these Market Linked Securities, which may be further reduced by a bid-offer spread. As a result, unless market conditions and other relevant factors change significantly in your favor following the pricing date, any secondary market price for these Market Linked Securities is likely to be less than the original offering price.

| · | Credit risk. Any investment in these Market Linked Securities is subject to the ability of the applicable issuer to make payments to you when they are due, and you will have no ability to pursue any underlying or any assets included in any underlying for payment. If the issuer defaults on its payment obligations, you could lose your entire investment. In addition, the actual or perceived creditworthiness of the issuer may affect the value of these Market Linked Securities prior to maturity.

| · | Estimated value considerations. The estimated value of these Market Linked Securities that is disclosed in the applicable pricing supplement will be determined by the issuer or an underwriter of the offering, which underwriter may be an affiliate of the issuer and may be Wells Fargo Securities. The estimated value will be based on the issuer’s or the underwriter’s proprietary pricing models and assumptions, and certain inputs that may be determined by the issuer or underwriter in its discretion. Because other dealers may have different views on these inputs, the estimated value that is disclosed in the applicable pricing supplement may be higher, and perhaps materially higher, than the estimated value that would be determined by other dealers in the market. Moreover, you should understand that the estimated value that is disclosed in the applicable pricing supplement will not be an indication of the price, if any, at which Wells Fargo Securities or any other person may be willing to buy these Market Linked Securities from you at any time after issuance.

| · | Conflicts of interest. Potential conflicts of interest may exist between you and the applicable issuer and/or Wells Fargo Securities. For example, the applicable issuer, Wells Fargo Securities, or one of their respective affiliates may engage in business with companies whose securities are included in an underlying, or may publish research on such companies or an underlying. In addition, the applicable issuer, Wells Fargo Securities, or one of their respective affiliates may be the calculation agent for the purposes of making important determinations that affect the payments on these Market Linked Securities. Finally, the estimated value of these Market Linked Securities may be determined by the issuer or an underwriter of the offering, which underwriter may be an affiliate of the issuer and may be Wells Fargo Securities.

| · | Effects of trading and other transactions. Trading and other transactions by the applicable issuer, Wells Fargo Securities or one of their respective affiliates could affect the underlyings or the value of these Market Linked Securities.

| · | ETF risk. If an underlying is an exchange-traded fund (ETF), it may underperform the index it is designed to track as a result of costs and fees of the ETF and differences between the constituents of the index and the actual assets held by the ETF. In addition, an investment in these Market Linked Securities linked to an ETF involves risks related to the index underlying the ETF, as discussed in the next risk consideration.

| · | Index risk. If an underlying is an index, or an ETF that tracks an index, your return on these Market Linked Securities may be adversely affected by changes that the index publisher may make to the manner in which the index is constituted or calculated. Furthermore, if the index represents foreign securities markets, you should understand that foreign securities markets tend to be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets, and that there is generally less information available about foreign companies than about companies that file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, if the index represents emerging foreign securities markets, these Market Linked Securities will be subject to the heightened political and economic risks associated with emerging markets. If the index includes foreign securities and the level of the index is based on the U.S. dollar value of those foreign securities, these Market Linked Securities will be subject to currency exchange rate risk in addition to the other risks described above, as the level of the index will be adversely affected if the currencies in which the foreign securities trade depreciate against the U.S. dollar.

| · | Commodity risk. These Market Linked Securities linked to commodities will be subject to a number of significant risks associated with commodities. Commodity prices tend to be volatile and may fluctuate in ways that are unpredictable and adverse to you. Commodity markets are frequently subject to disruptions, distortions, and changes due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, and government regulation and intervention. Moreover, commodity indices may be adversely affected by a phenomenon known as “negative roll yield,” which occurs when future prices of the commodity futures contracts underlying the index are higher than current prices. Negative roll yield can have a significant negative effect on the performance of a commodity index. Furthermore, for commodities that are traded in U.S. dollars, but for which market prices are driven by global demand, any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against relevant other currencies may adversely affect the demand for, and therefore the price of, those commodities.

| · | Currency risk. These Market Linked Securities linked to currencies will be subject to a number of significant risks associated with currencies. Currency exchange rates are frequently subject to intervention by governments, which can be difficult to predict and can have a significant impact on exchange rates. Moreover, currency exchange rates are driven by complex factors relating to the economies of the relevant countries that can be difficult to understand and predict. Currencies issued by emerging market governments may be particularly volatile and will be subject to heightened risks.

| · | Bond risk. These Market Linked Securities linked to bond indices or exchange-traded funds that are comprised of specific types of bonds with different maturities and qualities will be subject to a number of significant risks associated with bonds. In general, if market interest rates rise, the value of bonds will decline. In addition, if the market perception of the creditworthiness of the relevant bond issuers falls, the value of bonds will generally decline.

| · | Tax considerations. You should review carefully the relevant preliminary pricing supplement and other related offering documents and consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to your particular circumstances, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or non-U.S. jurisdiction.
