Description of rights attached to the securities, ranking of the securities and limitations to rights:
Rights: The Securities will give each holder of Securities (a "Securityholder") the right to receive a potential return on the Securities (see Element C.18 below). The Securities will also give each Securityholder the right to vote on certain amendments. Ranking: The Securities are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally among themselves and with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer from time to time outstanding. Limitation to Rights:
The Issuer may redeem the Securities early for illegality reasons or following an event of default. In such case, the amount payable in respect of each Security on such early redemption will be equal to the Unscheduled Termination Amount, and no other amount shall be payable in respect of each Security on account of interest or otherwise.
Following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s), the Issuer may redeem the Securities at the scheduled maturity by payment of the Unscheduled Termination Amount instead of the Redemption Amount, and no other amounts shall be payable in respect of the Securities on account of interest or otherwise following such determination by the Issuer.
-9-
Where:
Unscheduled Termination Amount: in respect of each Security, (a) if the Security is redeemed early for illegality reasons or following an event of default, an amount (which may be greater than or equal to zero) equal to the value of such Security immediately prior to its redemption, as calculated by the calculation agent using its internal models and methodologies, or (b) if the Security is redeemed following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s), an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Minimum Payment Amount, plus (ii) the value of the option component of the Security on the Unscheduled Termination Event Date, plus (iii) any interest accrued on the value of the option component from, and including the Unscheduled Termination Event Date to, but excluding, the date on which such Security is redeemed. The option component provides exposure to the underlying asset(s) (if any), the terms of which are fixed on the trade date in order to enable the Issuer to issue such Security at the relevant price and on the relevant terms and will vary depending on the terms of such Security. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Security is redeemed following an event of default, the Unscheduled Termination Amount shall not take into account the financial position of the Issuer immediately prior to the event of default, and the Issuer shall be presumed to be able to fully perform its obligations under such Security for such purposes.
Unscheduled Termination Event Date: the date on which an event resulting in the unscheduled redemption of the Securities following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s) has occurred.
Minimum Payment Amount: an amount equal to 89 per cent. of the Nominal Amount.
The Issuer may adjust the terms and conditions of the Securities without the consent of Securityholders following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s), or may redeem the Securities at the scheduled maturity by payment of the Unscheduled Termination Amount instead of the Redemption Amount as described above (and no other amounts shall be payable in respect of the Securities on account of interest or otherwise following such determination by the Issuer).
The terms and conditions of the Securities contain provisions for convening meetings of Securityholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, and any resolution passed by the relevant majority at a meeting will be binding on all Securityholders, whether or not they attended such meeting or voted for or against the relevant resolution. In certain circumstances, the Issuer may modify the terms and conditions of the Securities without the consent of Securityholders.
- 10 -
The Securities are subject to the following events of default: if the Issuer fails to pay any amount due in respect of the Securities within 30 days of the due date, or if any events relating to the insolvency or winding up of the Issuer occur.
The Issuer may at any time, without the consent of the Securityholders, substitute for itself as Issuer under the Securities any company with which it consolidates, into which it merges or to which it sells or transfers all or substantially all of its property.
Governing Law: The Securities are governed by English law.
C.11

Application has been made to admit the Securities to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

The value of the Securities and the Redemption Amount payable in respect of Securities being redeemed on the Maturity Date will depend on the performance of the underlying asset(s) on the Final Fixing Date. See Element C.18. below for details on how the value of the Securities is affected by the value of the underlying asset(s).
C.16
Scheduled Maturity Date or Settlement Date:
The scheduled Maturity Date of the Securities is 5 currency business days following the Final Fixing Date or, if such date falls on different dates for different underlying assets, the latest of such dates to occur (expected to be 7 April 2020).
C.17

www.bloomberg.com. Section D – Risks D.2
Key risks that are specific to the Issuer:
The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer. Investors in the Securities are exposed to the risk that the Issuer could become insolvent and fail to make the payments owing by it under the Securities. The profitability of the Issuer will be affected by, among other things, changes in global economic conditions, inflation, interest/exchange rates, capital risk, liquidity risk, market risk, credit risk, risks from estimates and valuations, risks relating to off-balance sheet entities, cross-border and foreign exchange risks, operational risks, legal and regulatory risks and competition risks. The Issuer is exposed to a variety of risks that could adversely affect its operations and/or financial condition:
Market risk: The Issuer is subject to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, equity prices, commodity prices and other relevant parameters, such as market volatility. Consequently, the Issuer is subject to the risk of potential changes in the fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements.
Liquidity risk: The Issuer is subject to the risk that it is unable to fund assets and meet obligations as they fall due under both normal and stressed market conditions.
Currency risk: The Issuer is exposed to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows.
Credit risk: The Issuer is subject to: (a) "counterparty risk", where the Issuer may incur a loss as a result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty, (b) "wrong-way risk" or "correlation risk", where the Issuer's exposure to the counterparty in a financial transaction increases while the counterparty's financial health and its ability to pay on the transaction diminishes, and (c) "settlement risk", where the settlement of a transaction results in timing differences between the disbursement of cash or securities and the receipt of countervalue from the counterparty.
Country risk: The Issuer is subject to the risk of a substantial, systemic loss of value in the financial assets of a country or group of countries, which may be caused by dislocations in the credit, equity and/or currency markets.
Legal and regulatory risk: The Issuer faces significant legal risks in its businesses, including, amongst others, (a) disputes over terms or trades and other transactions in which the Credit Suisse group acts as principal, (b) the unenforceability or inadequacy of documentation used to give effect to transactions in which the Credit Suisse group participates, (c) investment suitability concerns, (d) compliance with the laws of the countries in which the Credit - 14 -
Suisse group does business and (e) disputes with its employees. The Issuer is also subject to increasingly more extensive and complex regulation, which may limit the Issuer's activities or increase the costs of compliance with regulation (including penalties or fines imposed by regulatory authorities). The Issuer (and the financial services industry) continue to be affected by significant uncertainty over the scope and content of regulatory reform.
D.6
Key risks that are specific to the Securities and risk warning that investors may lose value of entire investment or
Operational risk: The Issuer is subject to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems or from external events. The Issuer is exposed to operational risk arising from errors made in the execution or settlement of transactions or in transactions not being properly recorded or accounted for.
Conduct risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk of poor conduct and behaviour by firms/individuals resulting in financial or non-financial detriment to clients or counterparties, damage to the integrity of financial markets, a lack of effective competition in the markets which the Issuer participates and non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Reputational risk: The Issuer is subject to risk to its reputation, which may arise from a variety of sources such as the nature or purpose of a proposed transaction, the identity or nature of a potential client, the regulatory or political climate in which the business will be transacted or significant public attention surrounding the transaction itself.
Regulatory action in the event that the Issuer is failing or the UK resolution authority considers that it is likely to fail: The UK Banking Act, which implements the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, provides for a "resolution regime" granting substantial powers to the UK resolution authority to implement resolution measures (including, but not limited to, directing the sale of the relevant institution or transfer of the relevant institution's business to a "bridge bank") with respect to a UK financial institution (such as the Issuer) where the UK resolution authority considers that the relevant institution is failing or is likely to fail and action is necessary in the public interest. If the Issuer were to become subject to a "resolution regime" you could lose some or all of your investment in the Securities. In addition, the UK resolution authority also has the power to exercise the "bailin" tool in relation to Securities issued by the Issuer to write down the Issuer's liabilities or to convert a class of liability to another class, and this would result in the write down and/or conversion to equity of such Securities.
The Securities are subject to the following key risks:
The market value of the Securities and the amount payable or deliverable at maturity depend on the performance of the underlying asset(s). The performance of an underlying asset may be subject to sudden and large unpredictable changes over time (known as "volatility"), which may be affected by national or international, financial, political, military or economic events or by the activities of participants in the relevant markets. Any of these events or activities could - 15 -
part of it:
adversely affect the value of and return on the Securities.
If the Basket Performance on the Final Fixing Date is less than 100 per cent., an investor will lose some of their investment.
If the Securities provide that any amount payable is subject to a cap, an investor's ability to participate in any change in the value of the underlying asset(s) over the term of the Securities will be limited notwithstanding any positive performance of the underlying asset(s) above such cap. Accordingly, the return on the Securities may be significantly less than if an investor had purchased the underlying asset(s) directly.
A secondary market for the Securities may not develop and, if it does, it may not provide the investors with liquidity and may not continue for the life of the Securities. Illiquidity may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Securities. The price in the market for a Security may be less than its issue price or its offer price and may reflect a commission or a dealer discount, which would further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your Securities.
The market value of the Securities will be affected by many factors beyond the control of the Issuer (including, but not limited to, the creditworthiness of the Issuer, the interest rates and yield rates in the market, the volatility of the underlying asset(s) (if any), etc.). Some or all of these factors will influence the value of the Securities in the market.
The issue price or the offer price of the Securities may be more than the market value of such Securities as at the issue date, and more than the price at which the Securities can be sold in secondary market transactions. The issue price or the offer price of the Securities may take into account, where permitted by law, fees, commissions or other amounts relating to the issue, distribution and sale of the Securities, or the provision of introductory services, expenses incurred by the Issuer in creating, documenting and marketing the Securities and amounts relating to the hedging of its obligations under the Securities.
The levels and basis of taxation on the Securities and any reliefs from such taxation will depend on an investor's individual circumstances and could change at any time. The tax and regulatory characterisation of the Securities may change over the life of the Securities. This could have adverse consequences for investors.
The Coupon Cap will not be set by the Issuer until the Initial Setting Date so that the Issuer may take into account the prevailing market conditions at the time of the close of the offer period in order that the Issuer may issue the Securities at the relevant price and on the relevant terms. There is a risk that the final amount(s) set by the Issuer will be other than the indicative amount(s) specified in the Specific Terms, although the final amount(s) will not be less than the minimum amount(s) specified in the Specific Terms or greater than the maximum amount(s) specified in the Specific Terms, as the case may be. Nevertheless, prospective - 16 -
investors must base their investment decision on the indicative amount(s) (and in light of the minimum or maximum amount(s)) so specified, and will not have a right of withdrawal from their purchase obligation when the final amount(s) are set by the Issuer. Investors should note that no supplement will be published in relation to such final setting.
In certain circumstances (for example, if the Issuer determines that its obligations under the Securities have become unlawful or illegal or following an event of default) the Securities may be redeemed prior to their scheduled maturity. In such circumstances, the Unscheduled Termination Amount payable may be less than the original purchase price and could be as low as zero. No other amounts shall be payable in respect of the Securities on account of interest or otherwise following such determination by the Issuer.
Following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s), the Issuer may redeem the Securities at the scheduled maturity by payment of the Unscheduled Termination Amount instead of the Redemption Amount. In such circumstances, the Unscheduled Termination Amount payable will be at least equal to the Minimum Payment Amount, but may be less than what the redemption amount or settlement amount would have been if such event had not occurred.
Following early redemption of Securities, investors may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at a comparable return and/or at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate or yield on the Securities being redeemed and may only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. Investors in Securities should consider such reinvestment risk in light of other investments available at that time.
Investors will have no rights of ownership, including, without limitation, any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to any underlying asset referenced by the Securities.
Investors may be exposed to currency risks because the underlying asset(s) may be denominated in a currency other than the currency in which the Securities are denominated, or the Securities and/or underlying asset(s) may be denominated in currencies other than the currency of the country in which the investor is resident. The value of the Securities may therefore increase or decrease based on fluctuations in those currencies.
The Issuer may apply any consequential postponement of, or any alternative provisions for, valuation of an underlying asset following certain disruption events in relation to such underlying asset, each of which may have an adverse effect on the value of and return on the Securities.
The performance of a share is dependent upon macroeconomic factors which may adversely affect the value of Securities. The issuer of a share has no obligation to any Securityholders and may take any actions in respect of such share without regard to the interests of the Securityholders, - 17 -
and any of these actions could adversely affect the market value of and return on the Securities. Securityholders will not participate in dividends or other distributions paid on such share.
If the basket constituents are highly correlated, any move in the performance of the basket constituents will exaggerate the impact on the value of and return on the Securities. Even in the case of a positive performance by one or more of the basket constituents, the performance of the basket as a whole may be negative if the performance of one or more of the other basket constituents is negative to a greater extent.
The Issuer may modify the terms and conditions of the Securities without the consent of Securityholders for the purposes of (a) curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any provision if the Issuer determines it to be necessary or desirable, provided that such modification is not prejudicial to the interests of Securityholders, or (b) correcting a manifest error.
The Issuer may adjust the terms and conditions of the Securities without the consent of Securityholders following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s).
In making discretionary determinations under the terms and conditions of the Securities, the Issuer and the calculation agent may take into account the impact on the relevant hedging arrangements. Such determinations could have a material adverse effect on the value of and return on the Securities.
The Issuer may be substituted without the consent of Securityholders in favour of any affiliate of the Issuer or another company with which it consolidates, into which it merges or to which it sells or transfers all or substantially all of its property.
The Issuer is subject to a number of conflicts of interest, including: (a) in making certain calculations and determinations, there may be a difference of interest between the investors and the Issuer, (b) in the ordinary course of its business the Issuer (or an affiliate) may effect transactions for its own account and may enter into hedging transactions with respect to the Securities or the related derivatives, which may affect the market price, liquidity or value of the Securities, and (c) the Issuer (or an affiliate) may have confidential information in relation to the underlying asset(s) or any derivative instruments referencing them which may be material to an investor, but which the Issuer is under no obligation (and may be subject to legal prohibition) to disclose.
Investors may lose some or all of their investment if one or more of the following occurs: (a) the Issuer fails and is unable to make payments owing under the Securities, (b) any adjustments are made to the terms and conditions of the Securities following certain events affecting the Issuer's hedging arrangements and/or the underlying asset(s), that result in the amount payable or shares delivered being reduced, or (c) investors sell their - 18 -
Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price. Section E – Other E.2b
Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds:
Not applicable; the net proceeds from the issue of the Securities will be used by the Issuer for its general corporate purposes (including hedging arrangements).
E.3
Terms and conditions of the offer:
An offer of the Securities will be made in Hungary during the period from, and including, 16 March 2016 to, and including, 31 March 2016 (the "Offer Period"). The Offer Period may be discontinued at any time. The offer price will be equal to 100 per cent. of the aggregate Nominal Amount. The Securities are offered subject to the following conditions: The offer of the Securities is conditional on their issue. The Issuer reserves the right to withdraw the offer and/or to cancel the issue of the Securities for any reason at any time on or prior to the issue date. Subscriptions and payments for the Securities shall be made to the relevant Distributor in accordance with the arrangements existing between the relevant Distributor and its customers relating to the subscription of securities generally. Applicants will be notified by the relevant Distributor of the success of their application. There is no minimum amount of application.
E.4
Interests material to the issue/offer:
Fees shall be payable to the Distributor(s). The Issuer is subject to conflicts of interest between its own interests and those of holders of Securities, as described in Element D.6 above.
E.7
Estimated expenses charged to the investor by the Issuer/offeror:
Not applicable; there are no estimated expenses charged to the purchaser by the Issuer and Distributor(s). The dealer will pay a fee to the Distributor(s) in connection with the offer of up to 2 per cent. of the Nominal Amount per Security upfront. The offer price and the terms of the Securities take into account such fee and may be more than the market value of the Securities on the issue date.

RISK FACTORS The risk factors set out below should be read in addition to the risk factors set out on each of (a) pages 4 and 112 to 123 (pages 6 and 114 to 125 of the PDF) of the CSi 2014 Annual Report (as defined in the section headed "Documents Incorporated by Reference" below) and (b) pages 58 to 96 (inclusive) of the Base Prospectus (as defined above). Such risk factors are risk factors that are material to the Securities in order to assess the market risk associated with them or which may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under them. 1.
If the Basket Performance on the Final Fixing Date is less than 100 per cent., investors will lose some of their investment.
2.
Investors may also lose some or all of their investment if one or more of the following occurs: (a)
the Issuer fails and is unable to make payments owing under the Securities;
(b)
investors sell their Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price; or
(c)
any adjustments are made to the terms and conditions of the Securities following certain events affecting the Underlying Assets, that result in the amount payable being reduced.
3.
The maximum Redemption Amount is capped, and therefore investors may not participate fully in the positive performance (if any) of the Underlying Assets.
4.
Securityholders are exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer as the Securities are unsecured. The Securities will be adversely affected in the event of a default, reduced credit rating or deterioration in the solvency of the Issuer.
5.
The Securities involve complex risks, which include, among other things, share price risks, credit risks, foreign exchange risks, exchange rate risks, interest rate risks and/or political risks. Before buying the Securities, investors should carefully consider, among other things, (a) the trading price of the Securities, (b) the level and volatility of the Underlying Assets, (c) the depth of the market or liquidity of the Securities, and (d) any related transaction costs. An investment in the Securities is only suitable for investors who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment. Investors should consult their own financial, tax, legal or other advisers as they consider appropriate and carefully review and consider such an investment decision in the light of the foregoing and their personal circumstances.
6.
A secondary market for the Securities may not develop and, if it does, it may not provide the holders with liquidity and may not continue for the life of the Securities. A decrease in the liquidity of the Securities may cause, in turn, an increase in the volatility associated with the price of such Securities. Illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market value of the Securities.
7.
In making calculations and determinations with regard to the Securities, there may be a conflict of interest between the investors and the Calculation Agent and/or the Issuer. Save where otherwise provided, the Calculation Agent and/or the Issuer are each required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. However, the Calculation Agent and/or the Issuer do not have any obligations of agency or trust for any investors and have no fiduciary obligations towards them. In particular, each of the Calculation Agent, the Issuer and their affiliated entities may have interests in other capacities (such as other business relationships and activities). Prospective investors should be aware that any determination made by the Calculation Agent and/or the Issuer may have a negative impact on the value of and return on the Securities.
8.
The Issuer and its affiliates are not acting as a fiduciary for, or an adviser to, any investor in respect of the Securities and each investor will be solely responsible and must have sufficient knowledge, experience and professional advice (which may be from third parties) to make its - 20 -
own evaluation of the merits and risks of investment of the Securities. Neither the Issuer, nor any of its affiliates, is an agent of any Securityholder for any purpose. 9.
By purchasing the Securities, investors acknowledge that they are not relying on the views or advice of, or any information from, the Issuer or its affiliates in respect of the purchase of the Securities.
10.
Each Security's retention of value is dependent on the creditworthiness of the Issuer, which may change over the term of the Securities. The Securities are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse International and rank equally with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Credit Suisse International. Securityholders are exposed to the risk that the Issuer could become insolvent and fail to make payments owing by it under the Securities. Credit Suisse International is a UK domiciled bank established under English law and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG. Credit Suisse International is regulated as an EU credit institution by the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA"). The PRA has issued a scope of permission notice authorising Credit Suisse International to carry out specified regulated investment activities. Securities are not deposits, and are not covered by any deposit insurance or protection scheme.
11.
Neither the Issuer nor any of its affiliates make any representation as to the performance of the Securities.
12.
The levels and basis of taxation on the Securities and any relief from such taxation can change at any time. The levels and basis of taxation on the Securities and availability of any tax relief will depend on the individual circumstances of each investor and any tax regime which is applicable to the Security and/or the investor. The tax and regulatory characterisation of the Securities may change over the life of the Securities. This could have adverse consequences for investors.

CREDIT SUISSE INTERNATIONAL History, Development and Organisational Structure Credit Suisse International ("CSi") was incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 1985, on 9 May 1990, with registered no. 2500199 and was re-registered as an unlimited company under the name "Credit Suisse Financial Products" on 6 July 1990, and was renamed Credit Suisse First Boston International on 27 March 2000 and Credit Suisse International on 16 January 2006. CSi, a UK domiciled bank established under English law, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG. CSi's registered head office is in London and is located at One Cabot Square, London E14 4QJ and its telephone number is +44 (0)20 7888 8888. CSi is an English bank and is regulated as an EU credit institution by the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and the Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA"). The PRA has issued a scope of permission notice authorising CSi to carry out specified regulated investment activities. CSi is an unlimited company and, as such, its shareholders have a joint, several and unlimited obligation to meet any insufficiency in the assets of CSi in the event of its liquidation. The joint, several and unlimited liability of the shareholders of CSi to meet any insufficiency in the assets of CSi will only apply upon liquidation of CSi. Therefore, prior to any liquidation of CSi, the creditors may only have recourse to the assets of CSi and not to those of its shareholders. CSi and its consolidated subsidiaries have unrestricted and direct access to funding sources of the Group. After making enquiries of the Group, the Directors of CSi have received a confirmation that the Group will ensure that CSi maintains a sound financial position and is able to meet its debt obligations for the foreseeable future. Principal Activities and Principal Markets CSi commenced business on 16 July 1990. Its principal business is banking, including the trading of derivative products linked to interest rates, foreign exchange, equities, commodities and credit. The primary objective of CSi is to provide comprehensive treasury and risk management derivative product services. CSi has established a significant presence in global derivative markets through offering a full range of derivative products and continues to develop new products in response to the needs of its customers and changes in underlying markets. The business is managed as a part of the Global Markets and Investment Banking and Capital Markets Divisions of Credit Suisse AG. For more information on CSi's principal markets and activities, see page 2 (page 4 of the PDF) of the CSi 2014 Annual Report. The liquidity and capital requirements of CSi and its consolidated subsidiaries are managed as an integral part of the wider CS group framework. This includes the local regulatory liquidity and capital requirements in the UK. Organisational Structure The subsidiaries of CSi which are consolidated in the financial statements contained in the CSi 2014 Annual Report are listed on pages 72 to 73 (pages 74 to 75 of the PDF) of the CSi 2014 Annual Report, each of which is wholly owned by CSi.

Pages 1 and 10 (pages 3 and 12 of the PDF) of the CSi 2014 Annual Report provide further information on CSi's Board of Directors. Legal and Arbitration Proceedings During the last 12 months there have been no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings which may have, or have had in the past, significant effects on the financial position or profitability of CSi, and CSi is not aware of any such proceedings being either pending or threatened, except as disclosed below: 1.
European Commission Statement of Objections re CDS In July 2013, the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission ("DG Comp") issued a Statement of Objections ("SO") to various entities of thirteen CDS dealer banks, certain Markit entities and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") in relation to its investigation into possible violations of competition law by certain CDS market participants. Certain Credit Suisse entities were among the named bank entities. The SO marked the commencement of enforcement proceedings in respect of what DG Comp alleged were unlawful attempts to prevent the development of exchange traded platforms for CDS between 2006 and 2009. In December 2015, DG Comp announced that it was closing the proceedings against the Credit Suisse entities and the other dealer banks, although the proceedings would continue against the Markit entities and ISDA.
2.
US Antitrust Class Action re CDS Certain Credit Suisse entities, as well as other banks, have been named in civil litigation in the US, currently pending in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. In August 2015, Credit Suisse and the class action plaintiffs reached an agreement in principle to settle the action. The settlement is subject to the execution of formal settlement documentation and court approval. Further, Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. has received civil investigative demands from the United States Department of Justice.
3.
Rosserlane and Swinbrook v Credit Suisse International CSi is the defendant in English court litigation brought by Rosserlane Consultants Limited and Swinbrook Developments Limited (the "claimants"). The litigation relates to the forced sale by CSi in 2008 of Caspian Energy Group LP ("CEG"), the vehicle through which the claimants held a 51 per cent. stake in the Kyurovdag oil and gas field in Azerbaijan. CEG was sold for USD 245m following two unsuccessful M&A processes. The claimants allege that CEG should have been sold for at least USD 700m. CSi is vigorously defending the claims, which it believes are without merit. The trial commenced in October 2014 and on 20 February 2015 the case was dismissed and judgment given in favour of CSi. The claimants are now appealing the judgment.
4.
CSi is defending a EUR 170 million clawback claim brought by the Winding Up Committee ("WUC") of Kaupthing Bank hf in the District Court of Reykjavik, Iceland. The claim relates to the issuance of ten credit linked notes issued in 2008, which the WUC is seeking to challenge under various provisions of Icelandic insolvency law in order to claw back funds paid to CSi. The WUC is also claiming significant penalty interest under Icelandic law. CSi argues that the - 62 -
purchase of the credit linked notes is governed by English law, which does not provide a legal basis for such clawback actions. In October 2014, the Court of the European Free Trade Association States issued a non-binding decision supporting the Issuer's position that the governing law of the transactions is relevant. Separately, CSi is pursuing a claim for USD 226 million in the District Court of Reykjavik, Iceland against Kaupthing Bank hf's WUC in order to enforce certain security rights arising under a 2007 structured trade. CSi acquired the security rights following Kaupthing Bank hf's insolvency in 2008. A trial of both matters is currently expected to take place in 2017. 5.
CSi is the defendant in German court litigation brought by Stadtwerke Munchen GmbH, a German water utility company (the "claimant"). The litigation relates to a series of interest rate swaps entered into between 2008 and 2012. The claimant alleges breach of an advisory duty to provide both investor and investment-specific advice, including in particular a duty to disclose the initial mark-to-market value of the trades at inception. The claimant seeks damages of EUR 15 million, repayment of EUR 114 million of collateral held by CSi and release from all future obligations under the trades. A preliminary hearing has been rescheduled to February 2016, with further hearing dates expected in 2016/2017.
Provision for litigation is disclosed in Note 19 to the interim consolidated financial statements on page 21 of the CSi Interim Report (page 23 of the PDF). Financial Information Financial information relating to CSi is contained in its Annual Reports for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 (the "CSi Annual Reports") which are incorporated by reference in this Base Prospectus. Financial information in the CSi Annual Reports has been audited. CSi's Annual Reports are available to the public on the Credit Suisse Group AG website at https://www.credit-suisse.com/ch/en/investment-banking/financial-regulatory/international.html. Auditor CSi's auditor is KPMG LLP, 15 Canada Square, London E14 5GL. KPMG LLP is registered to carry out audit work by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. CSi's auditor, as named above, has held office from the start of the accounting period ending 31 December 2014 until the start of the next period. KPMG Audit Plc, who previously acted as auditor, has instigated an orderly wind down of its business and has not been reappointed as auditor. Further information on the Issuer's auditor may be found on pages 11 and 12 (pages 13 and 14 of the PDF) of the CSi 2014 Annual Report.

Rangsorolás: Az Értékpapírok a Kibocsátó nem alárendelt és nem biztosított kötelezettségét képezik, és azok egymás közt illetve a Kibocsátó minden egyéb időről időre fennálló nem alárendelt és nem biztosított kötelezettségével egyenrangúnak minősülnek. Jogok korlátozásai: •
•
142042v2
A Kibocsátó az Értékpapírokat lejárat előtt visszaválthatja törvényszegési okokból vagy szerződésszegés esetén. Ilyen esetben az minden egyes Értékpapírok után a lejárat előtti visszaváltáskor fizetendő összeg a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összegnek felel meg, valamint az egyes Értékpapírok kapcsán nem fizetendő semmilyen egyéb összeg kamat vagy más jogcímen. Bizonyos, a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteit és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t érintő események bekövetkezte után a Kibocsátó a tervezett lejáratkor visszaválthatja az Értékpapírokat úgy, hogy a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeget fizeti ki a Visszaváltási Összeg helyett és a Kibocsátó ilyen döntése esetén az Értékpapírok kapcsán nem fizetendő semmilyen egyéb összeg kamat vagy más jogcímen. Ahol: • Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeg: minden egyes Értékpapír kapcsán (a) amennyiben az Értékpapírt lejárat előtt törvényszegési okokból vagy szerződésszegési eseményt követően visszaváltják, egy olyan (nullánál nagyobb vagy egyenlő) összeg, amely az Értékpapír számítási ügynök által belső modellek és módszerek alapján meghatározott értékének felel meg közvetlenül a visszaváltása előtt, vagy (b) amennyiben az Értékpapírt a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteit és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t érintő események bekövetkezte után visszaváltják, egy összeg, amely a következők összegének felel meg: (i) a Minimális Kifizetés Összeg, továbbá (ii) az Értékpapír opciós elemének értéke a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Esemény Időpontjában, továbbá (iii) az opciós elem értéke után a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Esemény Időpontjától kezdve – ezt a napot is beszámítva – az Értékpapír visszaváltásának napjáig – ezt a napot nem számítva – esetlegesen felhalmozódó kamatok. Az opciós elem a mögöttes eszköz(ök)nek (ha van ilyen) való kitettséget eredményez, az ezekre vonatkozó feltételeket a kötési napon rögzítik annak érdekében, hogy a Kibocsátó megfelelő áron és megfelelő feltételekkel tudja kibocsátani az adott Értékpapírokat, továbbá azok az Értékpapírra vonatkozó feltételek függvényében változhatnak. A félreértések elkerülése végett, ha egy Értékpapír visszaváltására szerződésszegési esemény miatt kerül sor, akkor Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeg nem veszi figyelembe a Kibocsátó pénzügyi pozícióját közvetlenül a szerződésszegési esemény előtt, továbbá az a feltevés lép érvénybe, hogy a

Kibocsátó teljes mértékben teljesíteni tudja az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételek szerint az adott cél kapcsán fennálló kötelezettségeit. Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Esemény Időpontja: az a nap, amelyen olyan esemény történik, amely az Értékpapírok terven kívüli, a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteit és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t érintő események bekövetkezte utáni visszaváltásához vezet. Minimális Kifizetési Összeg: a Névérték 89 százalékának megfelelő összeg
A Kibocsátó az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételeket az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok beleegyezése nélkül módosíthatja olyan eseményeket követően, amelyek a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteire illetve a mögöttes eszköz(ök)re hatással vannak, vagy visszaválthatja az Értékpapírokat a tervezett lejáratkor úgy, hogy a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeget fizeti ki a fenti Visszaváltási Összeg helyett (mely esetben a Kibocsátó ilyen irányú döntését követően az Értékpapírok kapcsán nem fizetendő semmilyen egyéb összeg kamat vagy más jogcímen). Az Értékpapírok feltételei tartalmaznak Értékpapír Tulajdonosi gyűlések összehívására vonatkozó rendelkezéseket az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok érdekeit érintő bármely kérdés megvitatása céljából, és az ilyen gyűléseken az alkalmazandó többséggel meghozott határozatok minden Értékpapír Tulajdonosra nézve kötelező érvényűek függetlenül attól, hogy az Értékpapír Tulajdonos a gyűlésen részt vett-e vagy sem, és hogy a határozat ellen vagy mellette szavazott. Bizonyos esetekben a Kibocsátó az Értékpapírok feltételeit az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok beleegyezése nélkül módosíthatja. Az Értékpapírokra a következő szerződésszegési események vonatkoznak: ha a Kibocsátó bármely az Értékpapírok kapcsán fizetendő összeget azok esedékességétől számított 30 napon belül nem fizet ki, vagy ha bármely a Kibocsátó fizetésképtelenségéhez vagy felszámolásához kapcsolódó esemény következik be. A Kibocsátó bármikor az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok hozzájárulása nélkül magát, mint Kibocsátót az Értékpapírok vonatkozásában helyettesítheti bármely olyan társasággal, amellyel egyesül, amelybe beolvad, vagy amelynek eladja vagy átruházza teljes vagy lényegileg teljes vagyonát. Irányadó jog: Az Értékpapírokra az angol törvények és jogszabályok vonatkoznak.

C.17
Elszámolási eljárás
Az Értékpapírokat a Kibocsátó a kibocsátási ár megfizetése ellenében adja át. Az alkalmazott elszámolási eljárás az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó klíring rendszertől, valamint a befektető országában alkalmazott helyi gyakorlattól függ. Az Értékpapírok elszámolására az Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. és a Clearstream Banking, société anonyme társaságon keresztül kerül sor.
C.18
Derivatív Értékpapírok hozama
Az Értékpapírok hozama a következőkből épül fel: • az (esetlegesen) fizetendő Kuponösszeg(ek)ből; és • ha az Értékpapírok nem kerültek korábban visszaváltásra vagy megvásárlásra és törlésre, a Visszaváltási Összegnek az Értékpapírok ütemezett Lejárati Napján történő kifizetéséből.

142042v2
A Kibocsátóra jellemző fő kockázatok
Az Értékpapírok a Kibocsátó általános, fedezetlen kötelezettségei. Az Értékpapírokba befektető személyek ki vannak téve annak a kockázatnak, hogy a Kibocsátó fizetésképtelenné válhat, és az Értékpapírok alapján teljesítendő fizetési kötelezettségeinek nem tud eleget tenni. A Kibocsátó nyereségességét egyebek közt befolyásolják a globális gazdasági feltételek változásai, az infláció, a kamatlábak és deviza-árfolyamok változásai, a tőkekockázat, a likviditási kockázat, a piaci kockázat, a hitelkockázat, a becslésekből és értékelésekből eredő kockázat, a mérlegben nem szereplő vállalati egységekhez kapcsolódó kockázat, a határokon túlnyúló ügyletekből eredő és devizakockázat, a működési kockázatok, a jogi és szabályozási kockázatok és a versenykockázatok. A Kibocsátó számos kockázatnak van kitéve, amelyek működését és/vagy pénzügyi helyzetét negatívan befolyásolhatják: • Piaci kockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve a kamatlábak, devizaárfolyamok, részvény- és áru-árfolyamok és egyéb releváns paraméterek negatív változásaiból – például a piacok volatilitásából – eredő veszteség kockázatának. Következésképp a Kibocsátó ki van téve annak a kockázatnak, hogy a piaci mozgásokra reagálva esetleg megváltozik a pénzügyi eszközök értéke. • Likviditási kockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve annak a kockázatnak, hogy akár szokásos, akár feszült üzleti körülmények esetén eszközeit nem tudja finanszírozni, és kötelezettségeinek nem tud azok esedékességekor eleget tenni. • Devizakockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve az érvényes devizaárfolyamok ingadozásai által a Kibocsátó pénzügyi pozíciójára és cash flowjára gyakorolt hatásoknak. • Hitelkockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve: (a) „partnerkockázatnak” amely esetén a Kibocsátó veszteséget szenvedhet el annak következtében, hogy valamely kölcsönvevője vagy ügyfele nem képes pénzügyi kötelezettségeinek eleget tenni, vagy annak következtében, hogy a kölcsönvevő vagy ügyfél hitelminősége romlik, (b) „rossz irányú” vagy „korrelációs” kockázatnak, amely esetén a Kibocsátó üzletfél felé fennálló kitettsége növekszik egy tranzakció során miközben az üzletfél pénzügyi helyzete és fizetőképessége csökken, (c) „elszámolási kockázatnak” amely esetén egy tranzakció elszámolása időbeli eltérést eredményez a pénz vagy értékpapírok kiadása, és az ellenérték üzletféltől való átvétele között. • Ország-kockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve egy adott ország vagy országok egy adott csoportja pénzügyi eszközeinek jelentős, rendszerszintű értékvesztése kockázatának, amelyet a hitel-, részvény- és/vagy devizapiacok elmozdulásai okozhatnak. • Jogi és szabályozói kockázat: A Kibocsátó tevékenységei során jelentős jogi kockázatot vállal, beleértve többek között (a) jogvitákat olyan kereskedelmi ügyletek vagy olyan egyéb tranzakciók kapcsán amelyekben a Credit Suisse csoport megbízóként jár el, (b) olyan tranzakciókra vonatkozó dokumentumok kikényszeríthetetlenségét vagy pontatlanságát, melyekben a Credit Suisse csoport is részt vesz, (c) befektetési alkalmassági aggályokat, (d) azon országok jogszabályainak való megfelelést, amely országokban a Credit Suisse csoport tevékenységet folytat, (e) jogvitákat a munkavállalóival. A Kibocsátó egyre kiterjedtebb és összetettebb szabályozásoknak is ki van téve, melyek korlátozhatják a tevékenységét vagy megnövelhetik a szabálykövetésének költségeit (ideértve a szabályozó hatóságok által kirótt bírságokat és büntetéseket is). A Kibocsátó (illetve a pénzügyi szolgáltatási ágazat) továbbra is jelentős bizonytalanságnak van kitéve a szabályozási reform terjedelme és tartalma tekintetében. • Működési kockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve a nem megfelelő vagy nem működő belső

Az Értékpapírokra jellemző fő kockázatok és kockázati figyelmeztetés arra vonatkozóan, hogy a befektetők befektetésük teljes értékét vagy annak egy részét elveszíthetik:
folyamatokból, emberekből vagy rendszerekből, vagy külső eseményekből eredő veszteség kockázatának. A Kibocsátó olyan működési kockázatoknak is ki van téve, amelyek az ügyletek végrehajtásában és elszámolásában felmerülő hibákból, illetve az ügyletek nem megfelelő nyilvántartásából és könyveléséből erednek. Magatartási kockázat: A Kibocsátó ki van téve a vállalatok/magánszemélyek nem megfelelő magatartásának illetve eljárásának, amely következtében pénzügyi vagy nem pénzügyi hátrányok érik az ügyfeleket, partnereket, károsul a pénzügyi piacok egysége, nem érvényesül hatékony verseny azokon a piacokon, ahol a Kibocsátó működik, vagy nem érvényesülnek a megfelelő jogszabályok és szabályozások. Reputációs kockázat: A Kibocsátó reputációs kockázatnak van kitéve, amely számos okból merülhet fel, például a tervezett tranzakció jellegéből vagy céljából, a potenciális ügyfél személyéből vagy jellegéből, az ügylet végrehajtási helyének szabályozói vagy politikai légköréből vagy magát az ügyletet körülvevő jelentős közérdeklődésből adódóan. Hatósági intézkedés abban az esetben, ha a Kibocsátó csődbe megy, illetve ez valószínűsíthető az Egyesült Királyság döntéshozó hatósága szerint: Az Egyesült Királyságnak az EU bankok helyreállításáról és szanálásáról szóló irányelvét végrehajtó banki törvénye egy „szanálási rendszerről“ rendelkezik, amely jelentős hatáskört biztosít az Egyesült Királyság döntéshozó hatóságának arra, hogy szanálási intézkedéseket hajtson végre (melyek közé tartozhat egyebek mellett az adott intézmény értékesítésének irányítása vagy az ilyen intézmény vállalkozásának átadása egy „áthidaló banknak“) olyan Egyesült Királyságban működő pénzügyi intézmény (mint például a Kibocsátó) esetén, amelynél az Egyesült Királyság döntéshozó hatósága megállapítja, illetve valószínűsíti a csődöt és közérdekből szükségesnek véli az intézkedést. Amennyiben a Kibocsátó ellen „szanálási rendszert“ léptetnek életbe, az Ékpapírokkal kapcsolatos befektetését részben vagy akár teljes egészében is elveszítheti. Ezenfelül az Egyesült Királyság döntéshozó hatóságának joga van a Kibocsátó által kibocsátott Értékpapírok tekintetében a „hitelezői feltőkésítés“ eszközt alkalmazni a Kibocsátó kötelezettségeinek leírása, illetve egy kötelezettség-osztály másik osztályba történő átalakítása érdekében, és ez az Értékpapírok tulajdoni részesedésének leírását és/vagy átalakítását eredményezné.
Az Értékpapírokra az alábbi fő kockázatok vonatkoznak: • Az Értékpapírok piaci értéke, illetve a lejáratkor fizetendő vagy átadásra kerülő összeg a mögöttes eszköz(ök) teljesítményétől függ. Egy mögöttes eszköz teljesítményét befolyásolhatják időközben bekövetkező, hirtelen és előre nem látható változások („volatilitás“), melyeket okozhatnak nemzeti és nemzetközi, pénzügyi, politikai, hadügyi és gazdasági események, valamint az adott piac szereplőinek tevékenységei. Ez ilyen események és tevékenységek egyaránt hátrányosan érinthetik az Értékpapírok értékét és hozamát. • Amennyiben a Végső Rögzítési Napon a Kosár Teljesítmény alacsonyabb mint 100 százalék, egy befektető befektetését részben elveszítheti. • Amennyiben az Értékpapírok feltételei szerint bármely fizetendő összegre plafonérték kerül meghatározásra, a befektetőnek azon képessége, hogy a mögöttes eszköz(ök)nek az Értékpapír élettartama során bekövetkező értékváltozásaiból részesülhessen korlátozott lesz függetlenül a mögöttes eszköz(ök)nek az adott plafonértéket meghaladó pozitív teljesítményétől. Ennek megfelelően az Értékpapírok hozama jelentősen alulmaradhat ahhoz a hozamhoz képest, amelyet a befektető akkor ért volna el, ha a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t közvetlenül vásárolja meg. • Lehetséges, hogy az Értékpapíroknak nem alakul ki másodlagos piaca, vagy – ha kialakul – lehetséges, hogy nem biztosít a befektetők számára likviditást, és nem marad fenn az Értékpapírok teljes élettartama alatt. Az Értékpapírok piaci értékére negatív hatással lehet a likviditás hiánya. Egy értékpapír piaci ára alacsonyabb lehet annak kibocsátási vagy ajánlati áránál, és jutalék- vagy kereskedői kedvezmény is tükröződhet benne, ami tovább csökkentheti az Értékpapírok után kapott hasznot. • Az Értékpapírok piaci árára számos olyan tényező lehet hatással, melyeket a Kibocsátó nem tud befolyásolni (nem kizárólagos jelleggel ideértve a Kibocsátó hitelképességét, a piacon érvényes kamatlábakat és hozamokat, a(z esetleges) mögöttes eszköz(ök) volatilitását stb.). E tényezők némelyike vagy akár mind befolyásolja az Értékpapírok értékét a piacon. • Az Értékpapírok kibocsátási vagy ajánlati ára meghaladhatja azoknak a kibocsátáskori piaci értékét, illetve azt az árat, amelyen az Értékpapírok másodlagos piaci tranzakciókban értékesíthetők. Az Értékpapírok kibocsátási vagy ajánlati árában – amennyiben ezt a jogszabályok lehetővé teszik – figyelembe vehetők a kibocsátásukhoz, forgalmazásukhoz és értékesítésükhöz kapcsolódó díjak, jutalékok és egyéb összegek, illetve a bevezető szolgáltatások nyújtása, a Kibocsátónak az Értékpapírok létrehozásához, dokumentálásához és értékesítéséhez kapcsolódó költségei és az

Értékpapírokból eredő kötelezettségeinek fedezéséhez kapcsolódó összegek. Az Értékpapírok adózásának mértéke és alapja, illetve azok adózás alóli mentesülése a befektető egyéni körülményeinek függvénye, és bármikor változhat. Az Értékpapírok adózási és szabályozási besorolása az Értékpapírok élettartama alatt változhat, ami a befektetők számára negatív következményekkel járhat. A Kibocsátó nem állapítja meg a Kupon Plafonértéket a Kiinduló Ármeghatározási Napig annak érdekében, hogy számításba tudja venni az ajánlati időszak lezárásakor fennálló piaci feltételeket és megfelelő áron, illetve feltételekkel bocsáthassa ki az Értékpapírokat. Fennáll annak veszélye, hogy a Kibocsátó által meghatározott végső összeg(ek) el fognak térni a Specifikus Feltételekben megadott, indikatív összeg(ek)től, azonban a végső összegek nem lehetnek alacsonyabbak a Specifikus Feltételekben megszabott minimális összeg(ek)nél, vagy a körülményektől függően magasabbak a Specifikus Feltételekben megszabott maximális összeg(ek)nél. Mindazonáltal a befektetőknek a befektetésre vonatkozó döntésüket az indikatív összeg(ek)re kell alapozniuk (illetve a megadott minimális és maximális összeg(ek)re), és nincs joguk arra, hogy vételi kötelezettségüket visszamondják azután, hogy a Kibocsátó meghatározta a végső összeg(ek)et. A befektetőknek azt is figyelembe kell vennie, hogy a végleges meghatározás kapcsán nem lesz kiadva kiegészítő információ. Bizonyos körülmények esetén (például, ha a Kibocsátó azt állapítja meg, hogy az Értékpapírokhoz kapcsolódó kötelezettségei jogtalanná vagy törvénytelenné váltak, vagy szerződésszegés bekövetkezése esetén) az Értékpapírok az üzemezett lejáratot megelőzően visszaváltásra kerülhetnek. Ilyen esetekben, a fizetendő Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeg lehetséges, hogy alacsonyabb, mint az eredeti vételi ár, és akár nulla is lehet. A Kibocsátó ilyen jellegű döntése esetén az Értékpapírok kapcsán nem fizetendő semmilyen egyéb összeg kamat vagy más jogcímen. Bizonyos, a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteit és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t érintő események bekövetkezte esetén a Kibocsátó a tervezett lejáratkor visszaválthatja az Értékpapírokat úgy, hogy a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeget fizeti ki a Visszaváltási Összeg helyett. Ilyen esetekben a Terven Kívüli Visszavásárlási Összeg legalább a Minimális Kifizetés Összeg, de előfordulhat, hogy alacsonyabb, mint amennyi a szóban forgó esemény bekövetkezése nélkül fizetett visszaváltási vagy elszámolási összeg lett volna. Az Értékpapírok lejárat előtti visszaváltását követően a befektetők lehetséges, hogy nem tudják a visszaváltásból származó bevételüket a visszaváltott értékpapírok kamatlábvagy hozamszintjének megfelelő, hatékony kamatozás mellett újra befektetni, hanem csak lényegesen alacsonyabb hozamszint mellett. Az Értékpapírokba fektető személyeknek az újra-befektetés ezen kockázatát figyelembe kell venniük az adott időpontban elérhető egyéb befektetéseket is mérlegelve. A befektetők az Értékpapírok referenciaként szolgáló mögöttes eszközei vonatkozásában nem rendelkeznek tulajdonjoggal, nem kizárólagos jelleggel ideértve a szavazati jogot, az osztalékra vagy egyéb kifizetésekre vonatkozó jogokat vagy bármely más, a mögöttes eszközökhöz kapcsolódó jogot. A befektetők árfolyamkockázatnak lehetnek kitéve abból adódóan, hogy a mögöttes eszköz(ök) esetleg az Értékpapírok denominációjától eltérő pénznemben denomináltak, vagy az Értékpapírok és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(ök) a befektető országának pénznemétől eltérő pénznemben denomináltak. Ebből adódóan az Értékpapírok értéke nőhet vagy csökkenhet az érintett devizák árfolyam-ingadozásainak megfelelően. A Kibocsátó a mögöttes eszközök értékelésére vonatkozóan alkalmazhat halasztást vagy bármilyen eltérő rendelkezést az adott mögöttes eszközökre vonatkozó bizonyos zavarokat követően, amelyek negatív hatással lehetnek az Értékpapírok értékére és hozamára. Egy részvény teljesítménye makrogazdasági tényezők függvénye, ami negatív hatással lehet az Értékpapírok értékére. A részvény kibocsátóját az Értékpapír Tulajdonosokkal szemben semmilyen kötelezettség nem terheli, és az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok érdekeire való tekintet nélkül tehet meg bármely intézkedést az adott részvényre vonatkozóan. Az ilyen intézkedések bármelyike negatív hatással lehetnek az Értékpapírok piaci értékére és hozamára. Az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok nem részesülnek az ilyen részvények után fizetett osztalékokból és egyéb kifizetésekből. Ha a kosár összetevői erősen összefüggnek, az összetevők teljesítményének elmozdulása felerősített hatással van az Értékpapírok értékére és hozamára. Még ha a kosárnak egy vagy több összetevője pozitív teljesítményt mutat, a kosár egészének teljesítménye akkor is negatív lehet, ha a kosár egy vagy több összetevőjének teljesítménye jobban negatív irányba fordul. A Kibocsátó az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok hozzájárulása nélkül módosíthatja az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételeket a következő okokból: (a) bármely félreérthető rendelkezés javítása, illetve bármely rendelkezés javítása vagy kiegészítése érdekében, amennyiben a Kibocsátó megítélése szerint ez szükséges vagy ajánlatos, feltéve, hogy
9
a módosítás nem hátrányos az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok érdekeire nézve, vagy (b) nyilvánvaló hiba javítása érdekében. • A Kibocsátó az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételeket az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok beleegyezése nélkül módosíthatja olyan eseményeket követően, amelyek a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteire vagy a mögöttes eszköz(ök)re hatással vannak. • Az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételek alapján a Kibocsátó saját belátása szerint megállapított tényezők meghatározása során a Kibocsátó és a számítási ügynök figyelembe veheti a kapcsolódó fedezeti ügyletek hatását. Az így meghatározott tényezők jelentős negatív hatással lehetnek az Értékpapírok értékére és hozamára. • A Kibocsátó az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok hozzájárulása nélkül helyettesíthető bármelyik kapcsolt vállalkozása által vagy olyan egyéb társaság által, amellyel összeolvad, amelybe beolvad, vagy amely részére vagyona egészét vagy lényegileg egészét értékesíti vagy átruházza. • A Kibocsátót számos összeférhetetlenség érinti, többek közt a következők: (a) egyes kalkulációk és meghatározások során a befektetők és a Kibocsátó érdekei eltérhetnek, (b) a Kibocsátó (vagy kapcsolt vállalkozása) szokásos üzleti tevékenysége keretében köthet saját számlájára olyan ügyleteket, és köthet az Értékpapírokra vagy a kapcsolódó derivatív eszközökre vonatkozó olyan fedezeti ügyleteket, amelyek az Értékpapírok piaci árát, likviditását vagy értékét befolyásolhatják, és (c) a Kibocsátó (vagy kapcsolt vállalkozása) rendelkezhet a mögöttes eszköz(ök)re vagy az az(oka)t referenciaként használó bármely derivatív eszközre vonatkozó bizalmas információval, amely a befektető számára lényeges lehet, amelyet azonban a Kibocsátó nem köteles közölni (és amelyek közlésére akár törvényi tilalom is vonatkozhat). A befektetők befektetésüknek egy részét vagy teljes egészét is elveszíthetik, ha az alábbi események közül egy vagy több bekövetkezik: (a) a Kibocsátó az Értékpapírok alapján teljesítendő fizetési kötelezettségit nem teljesíti és azok teljesítésére nem képes, (b) a Kibocsátó fedezeti ügyleteit és/vagy a mögöttes eszköz(öke)t érintő bizonyos eseményeket követően az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételek módosulnak, melynek következtében a fizetendő összeg vagy az átadott részvények csökkennek vagy (c) a befektetők Értékpapírjaikat azok lejárata előtt a másodlagos piacon olyan áron értékesítik, amely a kiinduló vételi árnál alacsonyabb. „E” szakasz – Egyéb E.2b
Az ajánlat oka és a bevétel felhasználása:
Nem alkalmazandó. Az Értékpapírok kibocsátásából származó nettó bevételt a Kibocsátó saját általános társasági céljaira (ezen belül fedezeti ügyletek kötésére) használja fel.
E.3
Ajánlati feltételek:
Az Értékpapírokra vonatkozóan ajánlat kerül kiadásra Magyarországon a 2016. március 16-val kezdődő – e napot is magában foglaló – és 2016. március 31-én végződő – e napot is magában foglaló – időszak („Ajánlati Időszak“) alatt. Az Ajánlati Időszak bármikor lezárható. Az ajánlati ár a teljes Névérték 100 százalékának megfelelő összeg. Az Értékpapír ajánlatra a következő feltételek vonatkoznak: Az Értékpapír ajánlat az Értékpapírok kibocsátásának feltételéhez kötött. A Kibocsátó fenntartja a jogot, hogy a kibocsátás napján vagy azt megelőzően bármikor bármely okból az ajánlatot visszavonja és/vagy az Értékpapír-kibocsátást törölje. Az Értékpapírokat jegyezni, valamint Értékpapírokat a Forgalmazó részére kifizetni az adott Forgalmazó és ügyfelei között az értékpapírok jegyzésére általánosan vonatkozó feltételek szerint kell. A jelentkezőket az adott Forgalmazó fogja értesíteni a jelentkezésük sikerességéről. A jelentkezésnek nincsen minimális összeghatára.
E.4
A kibocsátás / ajánlat szempontjából lényeges érdekek:
A díjak a Forgalmazó(k) részére fizetendőek. A Kibocsátónál a fenti D.6 számú Elemnél leírtak szerint összeférhetetlenség merülhet fel a Kibocsátó saját érdekei és az Értékpapír Tulajdonosok érdekei közt.
E.7
A Kibocsátó / értékesítő által a befektetőre hárított várható költségek:
Nem alkalmazandó; nincsenek a Kibocsátó vagy a Forgalmazó(k) által a befektetőre terhelt várható költségek. A kereskedő díjat fizet a Forgalmazó(k)nak az Ajánlat kapcsán, melynek mértéke Értékpapíronként előzetesen legfeljebb a Névérték 2 százaléka. Az ajánlati ár és az Értékpapírokra vonatkozó feltételek figyelembe veszik e díjat, így a kibocsátási ár meghaladhatja az Értékpapíroknak a kibocsátás napján érvényes piaci árát.
