Message from the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer

For Credit Suisse, 2022 was an important year that marked a decisive break from the past and the beginning of our journey to become a simpler, more focused bank built around the needs of our clients. In October, we announced a clear strategy that builds on our core strengths and addresses current challenges, and we have since been executing it at pace. Our strategic, cultural and operational transformation aims to re-establish Credit Suisse as a solid, reliable and trusted partner with a strong value proposition for all our stakeholders.

**Dear shareholders, clients and colleagues**

We would like to begin by expressing our sincere gratitude to you for the continued loyalty and trust that you have shown Credit Suisse through what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging years in the recent history of our bank.

The need for renewal is clear. In October 2022, we announced a strategic plan to create a new Credit Suisse, centered on our core strengths – our leading Wealth Management and Swiss Bank franchises, with strong capabilities in Asset Management and Markets – and returning to our heritage and cultural values. While our strategic priorities focus on the restructuring of our Investment Bank, the strengthening and reallocation of our capital and the accelerated cost transformation, we are also fundamentally reshaping the bank at a cultural and an operational level.

As we build the new Credit Suisse, we must strike a careful balance between renewal and continuity. While we intend to address the issues we face transparently and expeditiously, we are committed to staying true to the essence of Credit Suisse that has made us a preferred partner to our clients for decades. Credit Suisse's purpose is unchanged and will be rejuvenated: To build lasting value by serving our clients with care and entrepreneurial spirit.

By 2025, we want Credit Suisse to have resilient franchises that are positioned for sustainable and profitable growth, supported by our strong capital position and balance sheet and a right-sized cost base. To achieve these ambitions, we have announced bold and decisive actions that go beyond previous realignments.

**Bold and decisive actions**

In terms of our strategic transformation, we are radically restructuring the Investment Bank to focus on our strengths and capabilities where we already have a competitive advantage, while exiting or scaling back non-core activities. As such, we plan to focus on those parts of our Markets business going forward with strong connectivity to Wealth Management and our Swiss clients, to offer cross-asset investment products, market access and financing solutions. In addition, we are reviving the CS First Boston brand by creating a leading capital markets and advisory business. This business is expected to have a reduced risk profile, while building on a partnership model to tap the right talent and attract external capital.

Culturally, we want to build on our core values of entrepreneurship, inclusion, meritocracy, partnership, accountability, client focus and trust – values that have shaped the bank since 1856 when it was founded by entrepreneur Alfred Escher. As part of our cultural transformation, we want to ensure that our people act as prudent and professional risk managers at all times, are part of a diverse and inclusive environment and always feel confident to speak up. As one of the milestones in this respect, all our people, including ourselves, completed a dedicated risk culture training during 2022.

At the operational level, we are focusing on right-sizing our cost base through a comprehensive transformation program that goes further and deeper than ever before. We aim to reduce the Group's cost base to approximately CHF 14.5 billion by 2025, to substantially improve long-term efficiency and boost Credit Suisse's overall resilience. Actions already initiated in the fourth quarter of 2022 are expected to represent approximately 80% of the 2023 cost base reduction target of approximately CHF 1.2 billion, with further initiatives underway. While cost reductions are a focal point, growth investments should be protected, and we intend to continue to develop our business to meet the evolving needs of our clients in a rapidly changing world. Ultimately, we want to transform the way we run our bank to ensure we can sustainably build our business at lower costs in the future.

Regarding legacy issues, we have also taken decisive action, as demonstrated by the settlements we have reached relating to our residential mortgage-backed securities, foreign exchange and French legacy cases. Our regulatory remediation program is advancing, and we have rolled out a comprehensive plan to strengthen and improve risk management across the Group, including putting additional measures and safeguards in place.

**Axel Lehmann, Chairman of the Board of Directors (left) and Ulrich Körner, Chief Executive Officer.**

Building and maintaining a strong capital base is another key element of our strategic plan. We have already announced a number of measures to provide us with sufficient capital to deliver on our objectives. In November 2022, we announced that we had entered into definitive transaction agreements in relation to the sale of a significant part of our Securitized Product Group (SPG) to Apollo Global Management<sup>1</sup> (Apollo). This transaction involves phased closings with the first and second closing of the transaction with Apollo completed on February 7, 2023 and February 23, 2023, respectively. The reduction in the asset equivalent exposures of SPG and related financing businesses from these first and second closings, together with recently completed sales of other portfolio assets to Apollo and other third parties and certain business reductions, has already achieved approximately 70% of its targeted asset reduction since the third quarter of 2022. We expect the full transaction to be completed in the first half of 2023. In December, we successfully completed capital raises with gross proceeds of CHF 4 billion, enabling us to drive our transformation from a position of capital strength.

**2022 financial results and outlook**

Our financial results for 2022 were significantly affected by the challenging macro and geopolitical environment with market uncertainty and client risk aversion, significant deposit and net asset outflows in the fourth quarter as well as the strategic actions we are taking to build the new Credit Suisse. Net revenues for 2022 decreased by 34% year on year, driven by declines across all of our divisions. Net revenues of CHF 14.9 billion included real estate gains of CHF 368 million and a valuation loss of CHF 586 million related to our equity investment in Allfunds Group.

Operating expenses of CHF 18.2 billion were down 5% year on year and included major litigation provisions of CHF 1.3 billion and restructuring expenses of CHF 533 million. For the full year 2022, Credit Suisse reported a pre-tax loss of CHF 3.3 billion, compared to a pre-tax loss of CHF 600 million for 2021. The adjusted\* pre-tax loss for 2022 was CHF 1.3 billion, compared to an exceptionally strong adjusted\* pre-tax income of CHF 6.6 billion for 2021. The net loss attributable to shareholders for 2022 was CHF 7.3 billion, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 1.7 billion in 2021. The net loss attributable to shareholders for 2022 included an impairment of deferred tax assets related to our comprehensive strategic review of CHF 3.7 billion taken in the third quarter of the year.

In view of our financial results in 2022, the Board of Directors proposes a cash distribution of CHF 0.05 per share for the 2022 financial year to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2023. This is in line with the nominal dividend approach for 2022-2024 that we announced on October 27, 2022. As we complete our transformation program, we plan meaningful distributions from 2025 onwards.

The transformation we announced and started in 2022 is fully underway. Both in 2023 and 2024, we will be absolutely focused on the execution of our strategic plans, transforming into the new Credit Suisse with its leading franchises in Switzerland and in Wealth Management, strong capabilities in Asset Management and Markets and the carveout of CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business. We will work diligently to improve our cost efficiency in a sustainable manner, while investing in our core businesses and further improving our risk management overall.

**Steering a course for success with a new and highly experienced leadership team**

The Board of Directors and the Executive Board are convinced that our new strategy and implementation plans are a blueprint for future success. With a new and highly experienced leadership team, which has a proven track record in the delivery of restructurings and executing to plan, we believe we have the right team in place to achieve the strategic, cultural and operational transformation of our bank.

Strategy

Credit Suisse Strategy

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse announced a series of decisive actions intended to create a simpler, more focused bank built around client needs. The announcement follows a strategic review conducted by the Board of Directors and Executive Board, resulting in a radical restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital.

We are taking extensive measures to deliver a new, more integrated business model, with the goal of creating value for shareholders. We will build on our leading Wealth Management and Swiss Bank franchises, with strong capabilities in Asset Management and Markets.

Over the next three years, we will focus on the following strategic priorities:

■ **Restructuring the Investment Bank** to significantly reduce the risk profile and improve returns with (i) a highly connected Markets business and industry-leading investor products franchise; (ii) CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business; and (iii) a significant exposure reduction from the contemplated sale of the majority of our Securitized Products Group (SPG)'s assets and from the wind-down of other businesses moved to the Non-Core Unit (NCU).

■ **Strengthening and reallocating capital** with a focus on (i)improving the CET1 ratio through, among other things, the SPG transaction and other divestments, as well as the capital raises completed in the fourth quarter of 2022; (ii) utilizing the NCU to accelerate the wind-down of non-strategic, low-return businesses and markets to release capital; and (iii) allocating almost 80% (excluding Corporate Center) of capital to Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management and Markets by 2025.

■ **Accelerating cost transformation** by significantly reducing the Group's cost base.

**Strategic priorities for transforming Credit Suisse**

**Restructuring the Investment Bank**

We are taking decisive steps to restructure the Investment Bank and focus on areas more closely connected to our core businesses where we have a competitive advantage. This will involve transforming the risk profile of the Investment Bank and targeting a reduction in each of risk-weighted assets (RWA) and leverage exposure of approximately 40% (compared to the end of the third quarter of 2022, excluding Basel III reforms) by 2025 through strategic actions across four areas:

**Markets business**

The Markets business includes the strongest and most relevant aspects of our trading capabilities. While remaining fully committed to serving institutional clients, our leading capabilities in cross-asset investor products as well as equities, foreign exchange and rates access is closely aligned with the Wealth Management and Swiss Bank franchises. This allows us to provide tailored solutions to clients and differentiate ourselves from other pure-play wealth managers. These changes enable Markets to reinforce its position as a solutions provider to third-party wealth managers. Markets will also support CS First Boston.

**Securitized Products Group**

On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it had entered into definitive transaction agreements to sell a significant part of its Securitized Products Group (SPG) (Apollo transaction) to entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management (collectively, Apollo). This transaction involves phased closings through the first half of 2023 and represents an important step towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank. On February 7, 2023, the parties completed the first closing of such transaction and the majority of the assets and professionals associated with the transaction are now part of or managed by ATLAS SP Partners, a new standalone credit firm focused on asset-backed financing and capital markets solutions. On February 23, 2023, the parties completed the second closing of such transaction, with further assets transferred.

Although the closings of the Apollo transaction are phased, Credit Suisse is now, after the first closing, expecting to recognize the full pre-tax gain on the sale to Apollo of approximately USD 0.8 billion, representing a CET1 ratio benefit of approximately 30 basis points to be booked in the first quarter of 2023. Furthermore, these first and second closings, together with recently completed sales of other portfolio assets to Apollo and other third parties and certain business reductions, resulted in a reduction of the asset equivalent exposures of SPG and related financing businesses from USD 74 billion as of September 30, 2022 to approximately USD 35 billion as of February 23, 2023. As previously announced, upon completion of the Apollo transaction and the expected sale of related assets and businesses and other planned deleveraging, SPG assets are expected to be reduced to approximately USD 20 billion and up to a total of approximately USD 10 billion in RWA is currently expected to be released further benefiting the CET1 ratio. Other than the recognition of the pre-tax gain, the above outcomes are subject to regulatory approvals.

In connection with the initial closing of this transaction, Credit Suisse and Apollo entered into various ancillary agreements related to the Apollo transaction, including an investment management agreement, certain financing arrangements and a transition services agreement. Under the investment management agreement, an affiliate of ATLAS SP Partners will provide services to Credit Suisse for an initial term of five years with respect to the management of Credit Suisse's retained portfolio of SPG assets and related financing businesses intended to cover approximately USD 20 billion of assets. Credit Suisse and Apollo also entered into financing arrangements, including to finance a significant portion of the aggregate amount of assets purchased in the transaction, secured by underlying collateral. Credit Suisse expects to syndicate the majority of these financings. Furthermore, under the transitional services agreement, in order to maintain a

seamless experience for clients, Credit Suisse will provide certain transitional services to Apollo for the transferred SPG business and related financing businesses. The transfer of the remainder of the assets under the Apollo transaction remains subject to receipt of customer consents.

As we reduce residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) exposures and activity as part of our announced strategy towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank we anticipate based on ongoing regulatory discussions that operational risk RWA associated with historical RMBS activity will decrease.

**CS First Boston**

On February 9, 2023, the Group announced that it had taken further important steps to progress the carve-out of CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business through the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC, the investment banking business as well as the registered broker-dealer of M. Klein & Company LLC (the seller). The Group also announced the appointment of former Board of Directors member Michael Klein as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Banking and regional CEO of Americas, as well as designated CEO of CS First Boston and a member of the Executive Board. Both Michael Klein's appointment to the Executive Board and the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC are subject to regulatory approval. The purchase price is USD 175 million. To align interests with the Group, the seller will receive a convertible note and a warrant. The note will provide annual payments and convert into, and the warrant entitles the seller to subscribe to, CS First Boston shares at a qualified initial public offering or other liquidity event, at the then-valuation of CS First Boston, less a customary discount. The principal amount of the convertible note is expected to be USD 100 million, with the balance being paid in cash dependent on the amount of taxes to be paid by the seller at closing. The net present value of the transaction to the Group is expected to be approximately USD 210 million, which also includes interest cost, annual payments on the note and other payments that may in the future become payable in respect of this transaction. Deutsche Bank AG has provided a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors in connection with the acquisition. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023. Following the acquisition's closing, The Klein Group LLC is expected to be fully integrated into CS First Boston. The Group will retain control over the ultimate scope and structure of CS First Boston, including options to attract third-party capital in the future, as announced at the strategy update on October 27, 2022.

**Capital Release Unit**

Effective January 1, 2023, the Capital Release Unit (CRU) was established as a separate division to accelerate the reduction of assets, release capital, reduce risk and manage the residual of the SPG business. In advance of its formal establishment, proactive deleveraging and de-risking measures were implemented over the fourth quarter of 2022. The CRU is working to accelerate the wind-down of these assets to release capital and liquidity while targeting cost reductions.

**Strengthening and reallocating capital**

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we raised capital with gross proceeds of CHF 4.0 billion through the issuance of new shares to qualified investors and through a rights offering for existing shareholders. These capital raises improved our capital base, and we ended the year 2022 with a CET1 ratio of 14.1% and a CET1 leverage ratio of 5.4%. In addition, the successful execution of the SPG transaction and other planned divestments as well as RWA and leverage reductions from the new CRU are expected to release further amounts of capital to support the execution of the strategic transformation. Accordingly, the Group expects to maintain a pre-Basel III reform CET1 ratio of at least 13.0% throughout 2023-2025, with an expected 2025 pre-Basel III reform CET1 ratio in excess of 13.5%.

The CRU comprises the NCU and the residual of the SPG business. The NCU's purpose is to release capital through the wind-down of non-strategic, low return and higher-risk businesses. The NCU includes the global prime services business, select European lending and capital markets activities, non-Wealth Management-related lending in emerging markets, our global trust business, select trading assets from our Markets business and residual assets transferred from the Asset Resolution Unit. The NCU is expected to release approximately 60% of RWA (excluding operational risk RWA) and approximately 55% of leverage exposure by the end of 2025 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2022, allowing the bank to allocate more capital to higher-return businesses where it has clear competitive advantages.

We further intend to reallocate capital to our core, higher-return businesses. The share of RWA in Wealth Management, the Swiss Bank and Asset Management, together with Markets, is estimated to increase to almost 80% (excluding the Corporate Center) by 2025, with the intention of growing the revenue share of these businesses to over 85% (excluding the Corporate Center) by 2025. CS First Boston is estimated to account for a further 9% (excluding the Corporate Center) of RWA and approximately 14% (excluding the Corporate Center and CRU) of the revenue share by 2025. As we reduce residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) exposures and activity as part of our announced strategy towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank, we anticipate based on ongoing regulatory discussions that operational risk RWA associated with historical RMBS activity will decrease.

**Accelerating cost transformation**

We have started to take significant measures aiming to reduce the Group's cost base by 15%, or approximately CHF 2.5 billion, to a cost base of approximately CHF 14.5 billion in 2025. Of this, a reduction of approximately CHF 1.2 billion relative to 2022 guidance at the second quarter of 2022 is targeted for 2023. A comprehensive cost transformation program has been initiated and we plan to go deeper and further than the bank has previously indicated to substantially improve long-term efficiency while retaining a focus on strengthening risk management and investing in our core businesses. Key cost transformation initiatives include

non-core unit run down and business descoping, organizational simplification, workforce management and third-party cost management. Our cost base target is measured using adjusted operating expenses at constant 2022 foreign exchange rates and on a constant perimeter, before taking into account the SPG transaction and other divestments.

The cost actions already initiated as of December 2022 are expected to represent around 80% of the 2023 cost base reduction target of approximately CHF 1.2 billion, with further initiatives in progress. We already reduced contractor headcount by approximately 30% and consultant headcount by approximately 20% in the fourth quarter of 2022, as we progress towards a targeted 50% reduction in consultancy spend and a 30% reduction in contractor spend in 2023. The number of employees was reduced by approximately 4% in the fourth quarter of 2022, including notified reductions in workforce. Credit Suisse expects to run the bank with approximately 43,000 employees (based on full-time equivalents) by the end of 2025 compared to approximately 52,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2022, reflecting natural attrition and targeted headcount reductions.

The bank estimates restructuring charges, software and real estate impairments in connection with the transformation of approximately CHF 2.9 billion over a period from the fourth quarter of 2022 to 2024. The transformation is intended to be funded through divestments, exits, the completed capital actions and existing resources.

**Division**

Effective January 1, 2023, the Group is organized into five divisions – Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management, the Investment Bank and a new Capital Release Unit. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, our financial reporting will be presented accordingly.

**Corporate functions**

Our operating businesses are supported by focused corporate functions at the Group Executive Board level, consisting of: Chief Financial Officer, Chief Technology & Operations Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel and Global Head of People.

Financial objectives and certain management actions

**Strategic review**

We expect to follow a clear execution roadmap and:

■ Radically restructure the Investment Bank to significantly reduce risk-weighted assets, targeting a reduction in RWA of approximately 40% (as of the end of the third quarter of 2022, excluding Basel III reforms) by 2025.

■ Execute the transfer of a significant part of SPG portfolio assets to Apollo.

■ Accelerate cost reductions, reducing the Group's cost base by 15%, or approximately CHF 2.5 billion, to approximately CHF 14.5 billion in 2025, with an interim target of CHF 15.8 billion in 2023.

■ Strengthen and reallocate capital. The Group is targeting a pre-Basel III reform CET1 ratio of at least 13% throughout the transformation from 2023 through 2025, and a pre-Basel III reform CET1 ratio of more than 13.5% by the end of 2025. In addition, we intend to allocate almost 80% of capital to Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management and the Markets business by 2025, excluding the Corporate Center.

■ Utilize the NCU to accelerate the wind-down of non-strategic, low-return businesses and markets and to release capital, targeting a reduction of approximately 60% of RWA (excluding operational risk RWA) and approximately 55% of leverage exposure by the end of 2025.

■ Target a Group return on tangible equity (RoTE) of approximately 6% by 2025 and a Core RoTE of more than 8% by 2025.

■ Advance a capital distribution policy with a nominal dividend over 2022-2024 and meaningful distributions from 2025 onward.

Our estimates, ambitions, objectives, aspirations and targets often include metrics that are non-GAAP financial measures and are unaudited. A reconciliation of these estimates, ambitions, objectives, aspirations and targets to the nearest generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measures is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Results excluding certain items included in our reported results do not include items such as goodwill impairment, major litigation provisions, real estate gains, impacts from foreign exchange and other revenue and expense items included in our reported results, all of which are unavailable on a prospective basis. Return on Tangible Equity is based on tangible shareholders' equity, a non-GAAP financial measure also known as tangible book value, which is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders' equity as presented in our balance sheet, both of which are unavailable on a prospective basis. Our cost base target is measured using adjusted operating expenses at constant 2022 foreign exchange rates and on a constant perimeter, before taking into account the SPG transaction and other divestments, all of which is unavailable on a prospective basis. Such estimates, ambitions, objectives, aspirations and targets are calculated in a manner that is consistent with the accounting policies applied by us in preparing our financial statements.

Divisions

Wealth Management

**Business profile**

The **Wealth Management** division offers comprehensive wealth management and investment solutions and tailored financing and advisory services to ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) and high-net-worth (HNW) individuals and external asset managers. Our wealth management business is among the industry's leaders in our target markets. We serve our clients along a client-centric and needs-based delivery model, utilizing the broad spectrum of Credit Suisse's global capabilities, including those offered by the Investment Bank and Asset Management.

We serve our clients through geographic coverage business areas Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Türkiye, and Latin America, and client segment-specific coverage business areas for Premium Clients Switzerland, Private Banking International, and External Asset Managers. We continue to exit certain non-core markets, while expanding our market leading UHNW and HNW franchises in priority markets.

**Organizational change**

Effective January 1, 2023, both the Global Trading Solutions (GTS) and the Asia Pacific Financing Group (AFG) joint-ventures between Wealth Management and the Investment Bank were dissolved. Certain financing activities were transferred to Wealth Management. The Markets business within the Investment Bank continues to provide cross-asset investor products for Wealth Management clients, while AFG has moved to Wealth Management, with selective transactions moving to the Non-Core Unit.

> Refer to "Organizational structure" in Strategy for further information.

In October 2022, we announced the successful completion of the offering of our entire shareholding in Allfunds Group plc (Allfunds Group), which represented approximately 8.6% of the share capital of Allfunds Group, through an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors. Following the completion of this transaction, we no longer hold any shares in Allfunds Group.

In September 2022, we signed separate agreements with The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (Butterfield) and Gasser Partner Trust reg. (Gasser Partner) for the sale of our global trust business (Credit Suisse Trust, CST). CST entities continue to operate with a limited number of clients. Under separate agreements, Butterfield acquired CST's businesses based in Guernsey, Singapore and The Bahamas, while Gasser Partner acquired CST's Liechtenstein business. The transaction with Butterfield is expected to close in 2023 and is subject to customary conditions.

**Business strategy**

Wealth Management significantly contributes to Credit Suisse's strategic and financial ambitions and our business is among the industry's leaders in our target markets. We redefined our business strategy in 2022 to reinvigorate long-term sustainable growth and capitalize on the attractive growth opportunities in our industry. The following six strategic priorities guide our decisions:

**Integrate our Wealth Management division and simplify organization**

In 2022, we took extensive integration and simplification steps to create a unified Wealth Management division. This included streamlining the number of client coverage business areas, creating a single, global external asset manager coverage unit, simplifying investment and lending solutions delivery and unifying and centralizing technology platform accountability and strategy. We believe these critical steps lay the foundations for sustainable growth of Wealth Management and will drive further synergies over time.

**Grow systematically UHNW and accelerate HNW client segments**

In the UHNW client segment, we continue to strengthen the focus on, and level of service provided to, UHNW clients. To this end, we made strategic hires in certain priority markets and implemented a new global coverage model and value proposition for the top-end of the segment, our Strategic Clients. Our integrated, one-stop-shop value proposition across our clients' lifecycle needs continues to be a key driver of success and differentiator for our UHNW and Entrepreneurial clients.

We evolved the HNW coverage model, through our successful Private Banking International coverage and delivery model, to include Swiss-based HNW focused relationship managers. We believe that for clients with less complex needs, a hybrid-model of engagement built around wealth planning and House View-led advisory services with a personalized and timely offering will continue to support our ambition to achieve superior client experience.

**Optimize footprint with a focus on priority markets**

We have a deep and long-standing history across our coverage areas and the regions served, where we are geared toward higher growth markets. As part of executing our strategic plan, we intend to focus on the clear opportunities and optimize our footprint. We have identified those priority markets that have attractive characteristics over the long-term and where we want to grow. We aim to achieve this through investing in certain initiatives to scale up and build out our presence and capabilities.

We are also in the process of reducing activities with unattractive risk and return profiles and exiting certain sub-scale markets, taking a disciplined approach to better allocate resources and sharpen focus on those priority markets.

**Leverage our centralized lending and investment platforms**

We focus on systematically offering solutions and products that are tailored to our clients' needs, holistically advising them on their assets and liabilities. We believe that broadened collaboration and partnership across our firm provides the basis for creating a differentiated and needs-based value proposition and for gaining a larger share of our clients' business. We are leveraging our investment strategy and research capabilities, including the Credit Suisse House View, as part of our approach to further optimize the risk/return profiles of our clients' investment portfolios, also through the Markets business in the Investment Bank, Asset Management and sustainability-related solutions. It remains our priority to grow discretionary and advisory mandates, embed sustainability considerations into our thematic investment solutions and advisory process and continue to grow our private markets and alternatives offering.

Additionally, financing solutions for our clients are an integral part of our holistic approach to wealth management. To meet their needs, we leverage our centralized capabilities and deploy a consistent product offering across regions, while maintaining a focus on managing credit portfolio and operational risk. We also plan to grow our advisory solutions in collaboration with the Investment Bank.

**Enhance client and relationship manager experience through technology and automation**

We continue to invest in infrastructure and drive the digital transformation with the aim of further improving the technology-enabled service experience for our clients and our relationship managers. In particular, we are focused on how we are deploying our technologies, prioritizing the development of our advanced data analytics and digital advisory strategy and our omni-channel service model.

Furthermore, we continue to take steps to prioritize and direct investment into the simplification and automation of our operating model and front-to-back processes as we consolidate and leverage our technology capabilities across geographies, enhance risk management and control processes and streamline the client onboarding process. All these measures are targeted at a better client experience, higher front-office productivity and a cost efficient and scalable global technology platform, while systematically embedding risk management and compliance into our processes.

**Consistent risk management, enabling sustainable growth**

We have taken steps to strengthen our approach to risk management, with a particular focus placed on client risk and compliance. Further, a more focused operating model is being implemented with a more harmonized approach to the first line of defense and our chief operating office & business risk management setup. This seeks to realign accountability and resources, reduce fragmentation and consolidate expertise.

We realigned our risk appetite and reduced the risk exposure of the credit portfolio following the execution of certain de-risking measures. As capital deployment into our division increases, we expect to grow our diversified lending portfolio in a sustainable way over time.

**Products and services**

We offer a wide range of wealth management solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients, working in close collaboration with our investment banking and asset management businesses.

**Structured advisory process**

We apply a structured and technology-enabled approach in our advisory process based on a thorough understanding of our clients' needs, personal circumstances, product knowledge, investment objectives and a comprehensive analysis of their financial situation to define individual client risk profiles. On this basis, we define an individual investment and financing strategy in collaboration with our clients. This strategy is implemented to help ensure adherence to portfolio quality standards and compliance with suitability and appropriateness standards for all investment and financing instruments. Our relationship managers, working together with our investment consultants and, where required, with other solution-specific experts, are responsible for the implementation and ensuring our ability to provide comprehensive advice to our clients.

**Comprehensive investment services**

We offer a comprehensive range of investment advice and discretionary asset management services based on the outcome of our structured advisory process and the global House View of our Credit Suisse Investment Committee. We base our advice and services on the analysis and recommendations of our research and investment strategy teams, which provide a wide range of investment expertise, including macroeconomic, equity, bond, commodity and foreign-exchange analysis, as well as research on the economy. Our investment advice covers a range of services, from portfolio consulting to advising on individual investments. We offer our clients portfolio and risk management solutions, including managed investment products. These are products actively managed and structured by our specialists or third parties. We apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria at various points in the investment process with an active sustainability offering, which invests in line with the Credit Suisse Sustainable Investment Framework, and passive ESG index and exchange traded funds (ETF). The Markets business within the Investment Bank continues to provide cross-asset investor products for Wealth Management clients, while our Asset Management division provides a broad range of thematic or specific investment solutions for our clients. For clients with more complex requirements, we offer investment portfolio structuring and the implementation of individual strategies, including a wide range of structured, alternative and private market investments. Discretionary asset management services are available to clients who wish to delegate the responsibility for investment decisions to Credit Suisse. In addition, our clients benefit from our comprehensive expertise and services in wealth and succession planning.

**Financing and lending**

We offer a broad range of financing and lending solutions across all of our private client segments, including consumer credit and real estate mortgage lending, real asset lending relating to ship and aviation financing for UHNW individuals, standard and structured hedging and lombard lending solutions as well as collateral trading services.

Swiss Bank

The **Swiss Bank** division offers comprehensive advice and a wide range of financial solutions to private, corporate and institutional clients primarily domiciled in our home market of Switzerland. Our private clients business has a leading franchise in Switzerland, including HNW, affluent, retail and small business clients.

Our corporate and institutional clients business serves large corporate clients, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), institutional clients, financial institutions and commodity traders.

**Organizational change**

The Swiss Bank operates in an attractive market with a resilient economy, leading multinationals and SMEs, and large institutional clients. The Swiss Bank has leading positions in each business segment: HNW, affluent, retail, consumer finance, credit cards, corporate banking, institutional banking, M&A advisory, equity capital markets and debt capital markets.

In close collaboration with the other divisions, we aim to further build on our positioning as:

Across all businesses we seek to put a strong focus on disciplined risk management.

For "high-touch", our aspiration is to gain market share by building on our strong positions with our clients and providing the full range of our offering. Our key initiatives to achieve this goal are:

Backed by the Group's global presence, Asset Management offers active and passive solutions in traditional investments as well as alternative investments. We apply ESG criteria at various points in the investment process with an active sustainability offering, which invests in line with the Credit Suisse Sustainable Investment Framework, and passive ESG index and ETF.

**Business strategy**

Asset Management's vision is to be a multi-specialist asset manager of choice in both public and private markets and across institutional and wealth management clients, as well as third-party wholesale distributors. To deliver on this vision, we plan to simplify, strengthen and invest in our asset management business.

Simplification is a key element in the years to come as we plan to undergo a fundamental transformation of our business. This involves, among other things, (i) further reducing our non-core investment and partnership portfolio; and (ii) building one global operating platform for our core franchise, characterized by globally standardized, streamlined and automated processes with a view towards delivering scale and efficiency gains while simultaneously reducing operational risk.

While simplifying the business, we also envisage strengthening the existing franchise across key dimensions of our five defined strategic pillars: distribution, products and capabilities, operational model and technology, risk and controls, and governance and legal entity set-up. Strategic actions include the introduction of a holistic and globally aligned coverage model for our target client segments, a strengthened sales management team and the build-out of existing and new core investment capabilities.

We also plan to invest with the primary focus on shifting our business into higher margin segments of the market by (i) building out our third-party wholesale business and expanding our in-house Wealth Management connectivity; (ii) building a meaningful presence in attractive markets across Europe and the Asia Pacific region; and (iii) expanding our high alpha investment capabilities and developing our private markets offering.

Markets includes cross-asset investor products, equities, foreign exchange and rates trading and securities research. Banking includes capital markets, advisory and global credit products.

> Refer to "Organizational structure" in Strategy for further information.

**Business strategy**

On October 27, 2022, we announced our strategy to restructure the Investment Bank to significantly reduce the risk profile and improve returns. Our Investment Bank strategy is to be a leading provider of cross-asset investor products, equities, foreign exchange and rates access for Credit Suisse clients, as well as to carve out our capital markets and advisory business. In addition, we expect to reduce our risk and capital usage, targeting a reduction in each of RWA and leverage exposure from the end of the third quarter of 2022 levels of approximately 40% (pre-Basel III reforms) by 2025 through strategic actions across four areas: align and streamline our Markets business, carve out CS First Boston, complete our SPG transaction and utilize the CRU to release capital.

Our streamlined **Markets business** includes the strongest and most relevant aspects of our trading capabilities, which are aligned with Credit Suisse's strategic objectives, combined with differentiated securities research. While remaining fully committed to serving institutional clients, our leading capabilities in cross-asset investor products as well as equities, foreign exchange and rates access are closely aligned with the Wealth Management and Swiss Bank franchises and are intended to support CS First Boston once it is created. In addition, to reduce risk and capital usage we exited and reduced certain activities across the following businesses: Prime services, emerging markets financing, fund financing and foreign exchange high-touch international institutional.

On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it had entered into definitive transaction agreements for the Apollo transaction, which involves phased closings through the first half of 2023 and represents an important step towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank. On February 7, 2023, the parties completed the first closing of such transaction and the majority of the assets and professionals associated with the transaction are now part of or managed by ATLAS SP Partners, a new standalone credit firm focused on asset-backed financing and capital markets solutions. On February 23, 2023, the parties completed the second closing of such transaction, with further assets transferred.

> Refer to "Securitized Products Group" in Strategy – Credit Suisse Strategy for further information.

The Investment Bank's **capital markets and advisory activities combined with global credit products** are expected to be integrated into CS First Boston, which after a transition period is intended to become a leading capital markets and advisory business. The core product offerings of CS First Boston will include M&A, as well as capital raising solutions across equity capital markets, debt capital markets, leveraged finance, and equity and debt derivatives, the latter two in cooperation with Markets. In addition, our credit sales & trading franchise offers clients a range of financing options, including but not limited to, collateralized loan obligation formation and repurchase agreements, providing integrated core market access and distribution capabilities. The future CS First Boston plans to attract third-party capital, as well as a preferred long-term partnership with other Credit Suisse businesses.

Regulation and supervision

Overview

Our operations are regulated by authorities in each of the jurisdictions in which we have offices, branches and subsidiaries.

Central banks and other bank regulators, financial services agencies, securities agencies and exchanges and self-regulatory organizations are among the regulatory authorities that oversee our businesses. There is coordination among many of our regulators, in particular among our primary regulators in Switzerland, the US, the EU and the UK as well as in the Asia Pacific region.

The supervisory and regulatory regimes of the countries in which we operate determine to some degree our ability to expand into new markets, the services and products that we are able to offer in those markets and how we structure specific operations.

Governments and regulatory authorities around the world have responded to challenging market conditions by proposing and enacting numerous reforms of the regulatory framework for financial services firms such as the Group. In particular, a number of reforms have been proposed and enacted by regulators, including our primary regulators, which could potentially have a material effect on our business. These regulatory developments could result in additional costs or limit or restrict the way we conduct our business. Although we expect regulatory-related costs and capital requirements for all major financial services firms (including the Group) to continue to be high, we cannot predict the likely impact of proposed regulations on our businesses or results. We believe, however, that overall we are well positioned for regulatory reform.

> Refer to "Risk factors" for further information on risks that may arise relating to regulation.

Recent regulatory developments and proposals

Some of the most significant regulations proposed or enacted during 2022 and early 2023 are discussed below.

**Global initiatives**

Certain regulatory developments and standards are being coordinated on a global basis and implemented under local law, such as those discussed below.

**Interbank offered rate transition** 

Credit Suisse has identified a significant number of its liabilities and assets linked to interbank offered rate (IBOR) indices across businesses that require transition to alternative reference rates (ARRs) and is participating in national working groups and industry forums that are working to address this transition.

Consistent with prior announcements by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA) on March 5, 2021, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) administrator's representative settings for all CHF, EUR, GBP and JPY LIBORs and for the one-week and two-month USD LIBORs are no longer available. Representative settings for the remaining USD LIBORs will permanently cease immediately after June 30, 2023. The FCA has proposed to continue requiring the publication of synthetic USD LIBOR until September 30, 2024.

On March 15, 2022, the United States enacted the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2021 (LIBOR Act). The federal LIBOR Act preempts similar state legislation (including that enacted in New York) and provides one national approach for replacing USD LIBOR as a reference interest rate in certain contracts, including those with no fallback provisions or with fallback provisions that identify neither a specific replacement rate nor a "determining person" as defined in the legislation, once USD LIBOR is no longer published or is no longer representative. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Fed) has adopted the final rule that implements the LIBOR Act, which establishes benchmark replacements for contracts governed by US law that reference overnight and one-, three-, six- and 12-month tenors of USD LIBOR that do not have suitable fallback provisions after June 30, 2023. Under this final rule, the benchmark replacement will be (i) for derivative contracts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, the "Fallback Rate (SOFR)" (as defined in the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol), or (ii) for other contracts, the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based benchmark rates selected by the Fed plus the relevant tenor spread adjustments. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has also issued a final rule modifying the swap clearing requirement to support the transition from LIBOR and certain other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, including SOFR.

> Refer to "Replacement of interbank offered rates" in II – Operating and financial review – Credit Suisse – Other information for further information pertaining to IBOR transition.

**Sanctions developments**

As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as allegations concerning Russian acts related to Syria, cybersecurity, electoral interference and other matters, the US Department of Treasury's (US Treasury) Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions against a number of parties, sectors and activities relating to Russia, including the designation of Russian government officials, financial institutions, business people and certain related companies and close associates as specially designated nationals (SDNs). Such designation blocks their assets and prohibits dealings within US jurisdiction involving the designated SDNs, entities owned 50% or more by one or more SDNs, or the property of such parties. OFAC has also imposed targeted sanctions restrictions relating to new investments in Russia, providing certain professional services to Russia, certain debt and equity activities, limitations on USD payments, Russian sovereign debt and transactions with the Russian sovereign. US law also authorizes the imposition of other restrictions against non-US entities that, among other activities, operate in the Russian financial sector or engage in significant transactions with or provide material support to blocked persons or to Russia's military and defense industrial base. The US has also imposed certain import bans and has significantly expanded export controls against Russia.

In addition, the EU, UK, Switzerland and other governments have imposed or announced similar sanctions and trade controls against a number of parties, sectors and activities relating to Russia, including asset-freeze sanctions targeting Russian individuals and entities (including financial institutions), restrictions on deposits exceeding certain values from Russian nationals or residents, restrictions on transactions with the Russian sovereign, restrictions on providing certain professional services to Russia and capital markets-related restrictions. In addition, the EU required the disconnection of certain Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) network and the UK has prohibited new investments in Russia. A coalition of countries including the G7 countries, the EU and Australia, has implemented a prohibition on certain financial and professional services relating to the maritime transport of Russian-origin crude and petroleum products that do not conform with the coalition's price cap policy.

The Russian government has also enacted certain countermeasures, which include restrictions relating to foreign currency accounts and security transactions. In light of the continuing conflict in Ukraine, additional US, EU, UK and Swiss sanctions related to Russia or additional Russian persons or entities are possible, and the potential effects of related disruptions (including potential Russian countermeasures) may include an adverse impact on our businesses and the businesses of our customers.

In addition, political and trade tensions between the US and China led to a series of sanctions and countermeasures beginning in 2020, as previously disclosed. These include US sanctions prohibiting US persons from transacting in certain publicly traded securities linked to designated Chinese companies and foreign investment and export control developments from both China and the US. The EU has also issued sanctions against China relating to human rights, and China has issued counter-sanctions against the EU in response. Further sanctions and other restrictive measures arising from tensions between China and the US and other countries are possible, and could give rise to conflicts of law, compliance risks and market disruptions that may have an adverse impact on our businesses and the business of our customers.

**Minimum tax**

In October 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published key parameters and rules on a minimum tax rate of 15% (Pillar Two) for multinational companies with revenue of more than EUR 750 million, such as Credit Suisse. The introduction of the minimum tax system may subject Credit Suisse to additional compliance and reporting obligations as well as increased operational costs. The impact on Credit Suisse's tax rate remains uncertain.

On June 22, 2022, in order to implement the OECD/G20 project of a minimum tax, the Swiss Federal Council adopted the dispatch on the federal resolution for the introduction of a supplementary tax on large multinational companies. In view of the time pressure, the Swiss Federal Council has decided to proceed in stages. On December 16, 2022, the Swiss Federal Parliament resolved the Swiss Federal Resolution on a Special Taxation of Large Corporate Groups (Implementation of the OECD/G20 Project on the Taxation of Large Corporate Groups). The resolution provides for an amendment of the Swiss Federal Constitution by a new Article 129a to create the basis for the implementing legislation and for the submission of the resolution to the vote of the people and cantons. The public vote will take place on June 18, 2023. If it is adopted by the people and the cantons, the constitutional amendment will enter into force on January 1, 2024, and a temporary ordinance to regulate minimum taxation will enter into force on a date to be determined by the Swiss Federal Council, which, depending on the implementation of the minimum tax by other countries, may be as early as January 1, 2024. The temporary ordinance is to be replaced by a federal law passed by the Swiss Federal Parliament as soon as there is sufficient clarity on the application of the international minimum taxation rules.

During 2023, other jurisdictions where Credit Suisse operates are intending to enact rules to introduce the minimum tax system, expected to be effective from 2024.

**Switzerland** 

Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically important functions in the event of impending insolvency.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" and "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for information regarding our current regulatory framework and expected changes to this framework affecting capital and liquidity standards.

**Revision of CIS – Introduction of L-QIF**

On December 17, 2021, the Swiss Parliament approved the revised Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes (CIS), which, following an optional referendum period that ended on April 7, 2022, without a referendum being called, will enter into force and introduce the Limited Qualified Investor Fund (L-QIF) into Swiss law. The L-QIF is a new fund category which is not subject to supervisory licensing or approval requirements by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) at the level of the fund. However, the L-QIF is only open to qualified investors and must be managed by an institution licensed and supervised by FINMA. The revised CIS is expected to enter into force in the second quarter of 2023.

**FINMA enforcement action** 

In June 2021, FINMA opened enforcement proceedings relating to the delayed implementation of a comprehensive overview of client relationships, which is one of the measures that FINMA ordered in September 2018 in connection with the conclusion of two enforcement procedures against Credit Suisse AG. FINMA appointed a monitor to oversee the implementation and confirm effectiveness. In April 2022, FINMA issued an enforcement decision generally accepting Credit Suisse's submissions concerning the scope of the project and the related implementation and development work. FINMA found no breach of Swiss supervisory law nor imposed any reprimand and set a final deadline until the end of 2024 to finalize the implementation.

**Revision of the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act**

On August 31, 2022, the Swiss Federal Council enacted the revised Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) and Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance (AMLO) with effect from January 1, 2023. The revisions provide for enhanced measures for financial intermediaries in the areas of beneficial ownership, updating of client data and suspicious activity reports concerning money laundering. In this context, on November 2, 2022, FINMA announced that it had made the necessary amendments to the implementing FINMA ordinance, which sets out the additional implementing provisions. The revised Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance-FINMA also entered into force on January 1, 2023.

In addition to the amendments to the AMLA and AMLO, the Swiss Federal Council is implementing provisions in various Swiss federal ordinances, including on reporting and on the new mandate of the Central Office for Precious Metals Control as a money laundering oversight authority. Furthermore, the duties in the event of suspicion of money laundering will no longer be set out in ordinances from the supervisory authorities, and instead will be regulated by the Swiss Federal Council.

**Revision of the Swiss Bank Law and Banking Ordinance** 

On November 23, 2022, the Swiss Federal Council enacted the revised Federal Act on Banks and Savings Institutions (Bank Law) and the revised Federal Ordinance on Banks and Savings Institutions (Banking Ordinance), as well as certain other revised ordinances, effective as of January 1, 2023. Among other things, these amendments relate to the resolvability and resolution provisions for banks and aim to strengthen the Swiss deposit insurance program. The revisions include certain amendments to the Banking Ordinance and the Capital Adequacy Ordinance which replace the current rebate system on certain capital requirements with an incentive system.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" and "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for information regarding our current regulatory framework and expected changes to this framework affecting capital and liquidity standards.

**Climate-related disclosures** 

On November 23, 2022, the Swiss Federal Council adopted the implementing ordinance on climate disclosures for large Swiss companies (Disclosure Ordinance) and enacted the Disclosure Ordinance effective as of January 1, 2024. Under the Disclosure Ordinance, public companies, banks and insurance companies with 500 or more employees and at least CHF 20 million in total assets or more than CHF 40 million in revenues are obliged to publicly report on climate-related issues. The required public reporting includes disclosures on the financial risk that a company incurs as a result of climate-related activities and the general impact of the company's business activities on the climate.

Under the FINMA Circular 2016/1 "Disclosure – banks", category 1 banks, such as Credit Suisse, had already included disclosures on climate-related financial risks in the annual reporting for the financial year 2021. On November 29, 2022, FINMA published the FINMA Guidance 03/2022 "implementation of climate-related risk disclosures by category 1-2 institutions" under which FINMA has further defined the applicable disclosure obligations. On January 24, 2023, FINMA published the FINMA Guidance 01/2023 "developments in the management of climate risks," under which FINMA reiterates its expectation that supervised institutions establish an appropriate climate risk management framework based on recognized practices.

**Supervision**

On December 13, 2022, FINMA published the fully revised Circular "Operational risks and resilience—banks," in which FINMA addresses current technological developments and clarifies its supervisory practice with regard to the management of operational risks, in particular, in connection with information and communication technology, handling of critical data and cyber risks. The circular also adopts the revised principles for managing operational risks and the new principles on operational resilience published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in March 2021. The circular will enter into force on January 1, 2024, with gradual transitional provisions for ensuring operational resilience applying over two years.

On December 14, 2022, FINMA published the partially revised Financial Market Infrastructure Ordinance-FINMA (FMIO-FINMA), which entered into force on February 1, 2023. Under the revised FMIO-FINMA, FINMA specifies the information to be reported for derivative transactions subject to a reporting obligation. Transactions involving derivatives with underlying securities that are admitted to trading on a trading venue must be reported and included in trading surveillance, and the trading venues must create the technical infrastructure to guarantee that all derivative reports can be submitted correctly and completely. In response to the benchmark reform (replacement of reference rates such as LIBOR), FINMA also updated the catalog of interest-rate derivatives that must be cleared through a central counterparty.

**Tax**

**Rejection of withholding tax reform**

As previously disclosed, in April 2021, following a consultation procedure in 2020, the Swiss Federal Council submitted to the Swiss Parliament a proposal for the amendment of the Federal Withholding Tax Act. In December 2021, the Swiss Parliament approved several amendments which would largely abolish withholding tax on interest and remove the turnover tax on domestic bonds. However, a referendum was subsequently called and on September 25, 2022, the amendments were rejected in the national vote. The reform will therefore not enter into force.

**Suspension of transmission of tax-related information to Russia**

On September 16, 2022, the Swiss Federal Council decided, based on the public policy provision of the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, to stop transmitting tax-related information to the Russian Federation for the time being. The temporary suspension affects all forms of tax-related information exchange with the Russian Federation, including the automatic exchange of information on financial accounts and country-by-country reports, the exchange of information on request and the spontaneous exchange of information.

**US** 

**Banking regulation and supervision** 

On June 23, 2022, the Fed announced the results of its annual supervisory stress tests, as implemented pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd Frank Act). Our US intermediate holding company (IHC) remained above its risk-based minimum capital requirements. On August 4, 2022, the Fed announced the individual capital requirements for large banks. Our US IHC's stress capital buffer increased from 6.9% to 9% based on the 2022 stress tests. This revised stress capital buffer went into effect on October 1, 2022. If our US IHC does not maintain its stress capital buffer above minimum risk-based capital requirements, it will be limited in its ability to make distributions and discretionary bonus payments.

On December 16, 2022, the Fed and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced that they had identified two deficiencies in our 2021 targeted plan submission. We are required to submit a revised resolution plan for our US operations by May 31, 2023 demonstrating that the identified governance weaknesses have been addressed. We are also required to submit a revised resolution plan by July 1, 2024, demonstrating that the identified cash flow forecasting weaknesses have been remediated. If these plans do not adequately remedy the applicable deficiencies, the Fed and the FDIC may jointly determine that Credit Suisse or any of its subsidiaries shall be subject to more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements, or restrictions on their growth, activities, or operations.

**Broker-dealer regulation and supervision** 

On September 16, 2020, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted amendments to SEC Rule 15c2-11, which sets out a broker-dealer's information review obligations concerning the issuer of an over-the-counter security prior to publication or submission of a quotation in that security. The original compliance date for the amendments was September 28, 2021; however, the SEC staff has issued no-action letters phasing in the compliance date for quotations published by broker-dealers for certain fixed income securities. Most recently, on November 30, 2022, the SEC staff extended the phase-in period of the Rule 15c2-11 amendments to certain fixed income securities through January 4, 2025.

On December 14, 2022, the SEC proposed a new Regulation Best Execution, modeled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)'s best execution rule, which would require broker-dealers to use reasonable diligence to provide the best price to customers under current market conditions and impose certain additional policy and procedure obligations on broker-dealers. The SEC also proposed a package of reforms to the equity market structure rules that, if adopted as proposed, would make significant changes to the way equity orders are handled and executed. The proposals include a new requirement for certain retail equity orders to be exposed to a qualified auction before being executed internally, an adjustment to the tick sizes at which certain equity stocks can be quoted and extension of the tick size requirements to executions, and an expansion of the information that is reported under Regulation NMS Rule 605.

On February 15, 2023, the SEC published a final rule to shorten standard settlement cycles for certain broker-dealer transactions from two business days after the trade (T+2) to one business day after the trade (T+1). The final rule is set to take effect on May 28, 2024.

**Data protection and cybersecurity** 

On March 9, 2022, the SEC proposed rule amendments to enhance and standardize disclosure requirements related to cybersecurity incident reporting and cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance. The proposal was open for public comment through November 1, 2022.

On March 15, 2022, the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 was signed into law, imposing federal reporting requirements for cyber incidents and ransomware attack payments. The legislation will require covered entities, which will be defined in rulemaking and identified from within the 16 currently designated critical infrastructure sectors as defined in the Presidential Policy Directive 21, such as financial services, to report to the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within 72 hours of forming a reasonable belief that a substantial cyber incident has occurred and within 24 hours of making a ransom payment following a ransomware attack. The reporting requirements will not take effect until CISA enacts implementing regulations, including clear descriptions of covered entities and "substantial cyber incident". CISA is required to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking within 24 months of the statute's enactment and a final rule within 18 months of issuing the proposed rule.

**Tax**

On August 16, 2022, major US tax reform legislation known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 was enacted. The IRA makes significant changes to US tax law, including the introduction of a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% of the "adjusted financial statement income" of certain domestic corporations (effective in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022) and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by certain domestic corporations (effective on repurchases made after December 31, 2022). The IRA may affect the taxation of our subsidiaries in the future and thus could affect our valuation.

**Anti-money laundering regulation and supervision**

On September 29, 2022, the US Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) published a final rule implementing the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act of 2020. Under the final rule, beginning January 1, 2024, US legal entities and foreign legal entities registered to do business in the United States will be required to report beneficial ownership information to FinCEN, unless they are eligible for an exemption from reporting.

**Climate-related regulation and supervision** 

On March 21, 2022, the SEC issued for public comment proposed rule changes that would require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in their registration statements

and periodic reports, including information about climate-related governance, risk, business impacts, targets and goals and other related disclosures, as well as a note to registrants' audited financial statements providing certain climate-related metrics and impacts on a line-item basis. The proposal was open for public comment through November 1, 2022.

**Clawback rule** 

On October 26, 2022, the SEC adopted rules requiring stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on which our American Depositary Shares are listed and the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) on which Credit Suisse AG has other securities listed, to establish new listing rules that set minimum standards for clawback policies to recover incentive-based compensation erroneously paid to current and former executive officers due to accounting restatements that must be implemented by their listed companies.

**EU** 

**Banking and securities regulation and supervision** 

The EU has also proposed and enacted a wide range of prudential, securities and governance regulations to address systemic risk and to further regulate financial institutions, products and markets. These proposals are at various stages of the EU pre-legislative, legislative rule-making and implementation processes, and their final form and cumulative impact remain uncertain.

The EU legislators and supervisory authorities are working towards the integration of ESG risks across the three pillars of the EU banking prudential framework. Concerning Pillar I minimum mandatory capital requirements, the proposed amendment of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) through an amending Regulation (CRR III) would advance the deadline from 2025 to 2023 for the European Banking Authority (EBA) to deliver its report on a possible dedicated prudential treatment for exposures subject to environmental and social risk. Concerning Pillar II supervisory review, in 2022 the European Central Bank (ECB) conducted climate stress tests among significant credit institutions and published its findings in July 2022. In 2022, the ECB also launched a thematic review of credit institutions' climate-related and environmental risk strategies, as well as their governance and risk management framework, and in November 2022, it published a report on the good practices it identified for climate-related and environmental risk management and set deadlines for individual significant banks to achieve full alignment with ECB expectations relating to such risks. Certain national authorities in several EU member states have taken similar initiatives with respect to less significant banks that are directly supervised by them. Concerning Pillar III disclosure requirements, new rules apply for the disclosure of ESG risks by large listed institutions as of December 31, 2022. CRR III proposes to extend these disclosure obligations in the future to all EU banks.

In 2020, the European Commission presented a "Communication on a Digital Finance Strategy for the EU" and several legislative proposals that form part of the so-called Digital Finance Package: a "Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets" (MiCA), a "Digital Operational Resilience Act" (DORA), and a "Regulation on a pilot regime for market infrastructures based on distributed ledger technology" (DLT Pilot Regulation). On June 30, 2022, the Council of the EU and the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement on MiCA, which is a proposed regulation aimed at creating an EU harmonized regulatory framework for the issuance, offering to the public and trading of crypto-assets and stablecoins in the EU. The final vote by the European Parliament is currently scheduled for April 2023. On November 28, 2022, the Council of the EU adopted DORA, which is a package composed of a regulation and a directive aimed at harmonizing and strengthening the IT security requirements of European financial entities such as banks, insurance companies and investment firms. Its purpose is to make sure that the financial sector in Europe is able to maintain resilient operations in case of severe operational disruption. DORA will become applicable on January 17, 2025. On May 30, 2022, the DLT Pilot Regulation was adopted and will be effective on March 23, 2023. It aims to provide European DLT-based trading and securities settlement systems with harmonized licensing and conduct of business rules suited to DLT-based crypto-assets that qualify as financial instruments under the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive.

On November 28, 2022, the Council of the EU approved the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which entered into force on January 5, 2023. The new rules will need to be implemented by member states within 18 months. The CSRD will require companies to publish detailed information on how their business model affects their sustainability and on how external sustainability factors (such as climate change or human rights issues) influence their activities. The CSRD strengthens the existing rules on non-financial reporting introduced in the Accounting Directive by the 2014 Non-financial Reporting Directive. The application of the CSRD will take place in four stages.

**UK**

**Banking regulation and supervision**

On July 27, 2022, the FCA published its final rules and guidance for a new duty of care owed by UK financial services firms, including UK authorized firms of the Group, to retail customers (Consumer Duty). The new rules introduce the overarching principle that firms must "act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers"; the principle is supported by four specific outcomes relating to products and services, price and value, consumer understanding and customer support. The rules and guidance also introduce requirements for firms to monitor, and for their management to confirm at least once annually, compliance with the Consumer Duty. The effective date will be July 31, 2023 in respect of new and existing products or services that are open to sale or renewal, and July 31, 2024 for "closed" products or services.

On November 30, 2022, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) published Consultation Paper CP16/22 on the Implementation of the Basel III standards that remain to be implemented in the UK.

The proposals in the consultation paper include, among other things, changes to the rules on credit risk, operational risk and credit valuation adjustment, and the implementation of the output floor. The PRA proposes that the new rules apply from January 1, 2025, subject to certain transitional provisions. On the same day, His Majesty's Treasury (HM Treasury) launched a related consultation on the technical and legislative changes necessary to facilitate the PRA's implementation of the remaining Basel III standards. In addition, HM Treasury's consultation seeks views on improving aspects of the prudential framework, including changes in relation to equivalence, resolution and overseas exchanges.

**Data protection regulations** 

On March 21, 2022, two new agreements governing international data transfers out of the UK came into force: the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) and the Data Transfer Addendum (Addendum). The IDTA is a stand-alone agreement, whereas the Addendum supplements the European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for transferring personal data from the EEA to third countries pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) approved by the European Commission on June 4, 2021. The old SCCs are still considered to provide adequate safeguards until March 21, 2024 for contracts entered into before September 22, 2022. All new contracts entered into after September 22, 2022 must be safeguarded by either the IDTA or the Addendum.

Regulatory framework

The principal regulatory structures that apply to our operations are discussed below.

**Global initiatives**

**Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity**

On January 1, 2019, the final Financial Stability Board's (FSB) total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) standard for global systemically important banks (G-SIBs) became effective, subject to a phase-in until January 1, 2022. The purpose of the standard is to enhance the ability of regulators to recapitalize a G-SIB at the point of non-viability in a manner that minimizes systemic disruption, preserves critical functions and limits the exposure of public sector funds. TLAC-eligible instruments include instruments that count towards satisfying minimum regulatory capital requirements, as well as long-term unsecured debt instruments that have remaining maturities of no less than one year, are subordinated by statute, corporate structure or contract to certain excluded liabilities, including deposits, are held by unaffiliated third parties and meet certain other requirements. Excluding any applicable regulatory capital buffers that are otherwise required, as of January 1, 2022, the minimum TLAC requirement is at least 18% of a G-SIB's risk-weighted assets. In addition, as of January 1, 2022, the minimum TLAC requirement is at least 6.75% of the Basel III leverage ratio denominator. National regulators may implement or interpret the requirements more strictly within their own jurisdictions.

In Switzerland, the FSB's TLAC standard was implemented on July 1, 2016 under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" and "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for information regarding our current regulatory framework and expected changes to this framework affecting capital and liquidity standards.

In the US, the Fed has adopted a final rule that implements the FSB's TLAC standard. The final rule requires, among other things, the US IHCs of non-US G-SIBs, such as Credit Suisse's US IHC, to maintain minimum amounts of "internal" TLAC, a TLAC buffer and long-term debt satisfying certain eligibility criteria, commencing January 1, 2019. The entity designated as Credit Suisse's US IHC is required to issue all TLAC debt instruments to a foreign parent entity (a non-US entity that controls the IHC) or another foreign affiliate that is wholly owned by its foreign parent. The final rules also impose limitations on the types of financial transactions in which the entity designated as Credit Suisse's US IHC can engage.

In the UK, the Bank of England published its statement of policy on its approach to establishing the requirement under the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) for certain UK entities, including Credit Suisse International (CSI) and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL), to maintain MREL as well as its approach on setting internal MREL. Similar to the FSB's TLAC standard, the MREL requirement obliges firms within the scope of the BRRD to maintain a minimum level of own funds and liabilities that can be bailed in. The statement of policy provides that internal MREL requirements for UK material subsidiaries of non-UK G-SIBs, such as Credit Suisse would be scaled between 75% and 90% of external MREL based on factors including the resolution strategy of the group and the home country's approach to internal TLAC calibration. Interim internal MREL requirements came into effect beginning January 1, 2019, and their full implementation became effective January 1, 2022. In addition, the amendments to the CRR made by amending Regulation (CRR II) introduced a requirement, as of June 27, 2019, for material subsidiaries of non-EU G-SIBs, which are not resolution entities, to maintain internal MREL scaled at 90% of the external MREL requirement that would apply if the material subsidiary were a resolution entity. The UK Government intends to legislate to remove this requirement and only subject banks to the Bank of England's MREL policy. The Bank of England has stated that its statement of policy should be read in compliance with the CRR II requirements.

**ISDA Resolution Stay Protocols**

Credit Suisse voluntarily adhered to the ISDA 2015 Universal Resolution Stay Protocol (ISDA 2015 Universal Protocol) at the time of its launch in November 2015. By adhering to the ISDA 2015 Universal Protocol, parties agree to be bound by certain existing and forthcoming special resolution regimes to ensure that cross-border derivatives and securities financing transactions are subject to statutory stays on direct and affiliate-linked default rights in the event a bank counterparty enters into resolution, regardless of its governing law. These stays are intended to facilitate an orderly resolution of a troubled bank. The ISDA 2015 Universal Protocol also introduces similar stays and overrides

on affiliate-linked default rights in the event that an affiliate of an adhering party becomes subject to proceedings under the US Bankruptcy Code, under which no such stays or overrides currently exist.

In order to expand the scope of parties and transactions covered by the ISDA 2015 Universal Protocol or similar contractual arrangements, the G20 committed to introducing regulations requiring large banking groups to include ISDA 2015 Universal Protocol-like provisions in certain financial contracts when facing counterparties under foreign laws.

In Switzerland, the Banking Ordinance and the Federal Ordinance of FINMA on the Insolvency of Banks and Securities Dealers (FINMA Banking Insolvency Ordinance) require Swiss banks, including Credit Suisse, to include a clause under which the counterparty recognizes FINMA's stay powers under the Federal Act on Banks and Savings Banks of November 8, 1934, as amended, in certain of their contracts and in certain contracts entered into by their subsidiaries or affiliates. The requirement to include such a clause applies to the financial contracts exhaustively listed under the FINMA Banking Insolvency Ordinance and that are not governed by Swiss law or that provide for jurisdiction outside of Switzerland.

In the UK, the PRA published final rules requiring UK entities to ensure that their counterparties under a broad range of financial arrangements are subject to the stays on early termination rights under the UK Banking Act that would be applicable upon their resolution.

ISDA has developed another protocol, the ISDA Resolution Stay Jurisdictional Modular Protocol, which is intended to be a mechanism to facilitate market-wide compliance with these requirements by both dealers, such as Credit Suisse, and their counterparties.

In the EU, amendments to BRRD (through amending Directive BRRD II) (BRRD II) introduced harmonized requirements for relevant EU entities to include a contractual term within certain financial contracts governed by the laws of a non-EU jurisdiction, recognizing that the contract may be subject to the exercise of resolution powers by the resolution authority to suspend the entity's payment or delivery obligations, or to suspend a counterparty's termination or security enforcement rights.

In the US, the Fed, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) each issued final rules designed to improve the resolvability of US-headquartered G-SIBs and the US operations of non-US G-SIBs, such as our US operations. These final rules require covered entities to modify certain qualified financial contracts to obtain the agreement of counterparties that (1) their qualified financial contracts are subject to the stays on default rights under the Dodd-Frank Act's Orderly Liquidation Authority and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, which is similar to requirements introduced in other jurisdictions to which we are already subject, and (2) certain affiliate-linked default rights would be limited or overridden if an affiliate of the G-SIB entered proceedings under the US Bankruptcy Code or other insolvency or resolution regimes. ISDA has developed the ISDA 2018 US Resolution Stay Protocol (ISDA US Protocol) to facilitate compliance with the final rules. All the relevant Credit Suisse's entities have adhered to the ISDA US Protocol to amend their qualified financial contracts with adhering counterparties to comply with the final rules.

**Data protection regulation**

The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data in the context of our EU establishments as well as on an extraterritorial basis. The GDPR also forms the basis of our Global Data Protection standard ensuring that policies and processes of the highest standard apply to all Credit Suisse entities globally, subject to local laws and regulations. The GDPR requires us to take various measures to ensure compliance with the regulation, including processing personal data in accordance with the data protection principles, maintaining records of data processing, ensuring adequate security for personal data, complying with data breach notification requirements, and giving effect to data subjects' rights. Furthermore, in accordance with the GDPR, we have appointed a Data Protection Officer who is responsible for monitoring our compliance with and providing advice in connection with global data protection laws and regulations. The GDPR grants broad enforcement powers to data protection authorities, including the potential to levy significant administrative fines for non-compliance.

In addition to the GDPR, other jurisdictions in which we operate have adopted or are proposing data privacy standards, for example the Federal Act on Data Protection in Switzerland, applicable US data privacy laws including the GLBA, CCPA and CPRA (each as defined herein), the Thailand Personal Data Protection Act and the Data Protection Law DIFC No. 5 2020 in Dubai, some of which are similar to the GDPR or contain their own requirements more robust than the GDPR. Following the UK's withdrawal from the EU, the UK also adopted into its national legislation the UK version of the GDPR, which largely mirrors the GDPR as in force in the EU; however, there is currently uncertainty as to whether the UK government intends to significantly overhaul the data protection regime in the UK. In 2021, China passed the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law, which enacts strict requirements around the areas of information security, personal data processing, data localization and cross-border data transfers, and under which the Chinese government can request data for national security or criminal investigations and must give its approval prior to the transfer of data to a judicial or enforcement agency outside of China. As additional data privacy laws come into effect in the coming years, we continue to monitor changes and ensure compliance with our data privacy obligations.

**Foreign Exchange** 

In 2017, public and private sector representatives from the foreign exchange (FX) committees of 16 international foreign exchange trading centers agreed to form a Global Foreign Exchange Committee (GFXC) and publish the FX Global Code, which sets out global principles of good practice, including ethics, governance, execution, information sharing, risk management and compliance,

and confirmation and settlement processes. Credit Suisse signed the FX Global Code's Statement of Commitment on a global basis on May 21, 2018 and supports the adoption of the FX Global Code by FX market participants. The GFXC published an updated version of the FX Global Code on July 15, 2021.

**Switzerland**

**Banking regulation and supervision** 

Although Credit Suisse Group is not a bank according to the Bank Law and the Banking Ordinance, the Group is required, pursuant to the provisions on consolidated supervision of financial groups and conglomerates of the Bank Law, to comply with certain requirements for banks. Such requirements include capital adequacy, loss-absorbing capacity, solvency and risk concentration on a consolidated basis, and certain reporting obligations. Our banks in Switzerland are regulated and supervised by FINMA on a legal entity basis and, if applicable, on a consolidated basis.

Our banks in Switzerland operate under banking licenses granted by FINMA pursuant to the Bank Law and the Banking Ordinance. In addition, certain of these banks hold securities firm licenses granted by FINMA pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Stock Exchanges and Securities Trading, which was in effect at the time the license was granted. As of January 1, 2020, the applicable ongoing licensing requirements for securities firms are set out under the Financial Institutions Act (FinIA) and the Financial Institutions Ordinance (FinIO).

FINMA is the sole bank supervisory authority in Switzerland and is independent, including from the Swiss National Bank (SNB). Under the Bank Law, FINMA is responsible for the supervision of the Swiss banking system. The SNB is responsible for implementing the government's monetary policy relating to banks and securities firms and for ensuring the stability of the financial system. Under the "Too Big to Fail" legislation, the SNB is also responsible for determining which banks in Switzerland are systemically important banks and which functions are systemically relevant in Switzerland. The SNB has identified the Group on a consolidated basis as a systemically important bank for the purposes of Swiss law.

Our banks in Switzerland are subject to close and continuous prudential supervision and direct audits by FINMA. Under the Bank Law, our banks are subject to inspection and supervision by an independent regulatory auditing firm recognized by FINMA, which is appointed by the bank's board of directors and required to assess whether the bank is in compliance with Swiss laws and regulations, including the Bank Law, the Banking Ordinance and the relevant FINMA regulations.

Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel III framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements, and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of impending insolvency.

Our regulatory capital is calculated on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the US, with certain adjustments required by, or agreed with, FINMA.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" and "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for further information regarding our current regulatory framework and expected changes to this framework affecting capital and liquidity standards.

Under Swiss banking law, banks and securities firms are required to manage risk concentration within specific limits. Aggregated credit exposure to any single counterparty or a group of related counterparties must bear an adequate relationship to the bank's adjusted eligible capital (for systemically important banks like us, to their core Tier 1 capital) taking into account counterparty risks and risk mitigation instruments.

The Financial Services Act (FinSA) and FinIA as well as the implementing ordinances, the Financial Services Ordinance (FinSO) and the FinIO, provide for a comprehensive regime, governing the provision of financial services in Switzerland, including to Swiss clients from abroad on a cross-border basis, as well as the offering of financial instruments, and the admission to trading of financial instruments in Switzerland. Further, FinSA sets out a prospectus regime for the offering of securities in Switzerland. FINMA granted both BX Swiss AG and the SIX Exchange Regulation AG a license as reviewing bodies for prospectuses. The reviewing bodies are regulated under the FinSA and are tasked with reviewing and approving the prospectuses published in connection with a public offer of securities or the admission of securities to trading on a trading venue in Switzerland. Subject to certain exemptions, the publication of approved prospectuses is mandatory for issuers of securities, provided a public offer or admission to trading is intended in Switzerland. FinSA also sets out duties for Swiss financial service providers or foreign financial service providers providing financial services to clients in Switzerland, including on a mere cross-border basis. FinIA and FinIO govern the licensing requirements and provide for a differentiated supervisory regime for securities firms, asset managers, trustees, managers of collective assets, fund management companies and investment firms.

Under the Bank Law and FinIA, Swiss banks and securities firms are obligated to keep confidential the existence and all aspects of their relationships with customers. These customer confidentiality laws do not, however, provide protection with respect to criminal offenses such as insider trading, money laundering, terrorist financing activities, tax fraud or evasion or prevent the disclosure of information to courts and administrative authorities.

Swiss rules and regulations to combat money laundering and terrorist financing are comprehensive and require banks and other financial intermediaries to thoroughly verify and document customer identity before commencing business. In addition, these rules and regulations, aimed at preventing money laundering, include obligations to maintain appropriate policies for dealings with politically exposed persons and procedures and controls to detect money laundering and terrorist financing activities, including reporting suspicious activities to authorities.

In addition, the Swiss Criminal Code provides for stringent anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws prohibiting illegitimate bribery payments (and the receipt thereof) to Swiss and foreign public officials as well as persons in the private sector.

Compensation design and its implementation and disclosure have been required to comply with standards promulgated by FINMA under its Circular on Remuneration Schemes and the Swiss Code of Obligations, as updated from time to time.

**Securities firm and asset management regulation and supervision** 

Our securities firm activities in Switzerland are conducted primarily through the Bank, under the supervision of FINMA, and are subject to regulation under FinIA and FinIO, which regulate all aspects of the securities firm business in Switzerland, including regulatory capital, risk concentration, sales and trading practices, record-keeping requirements and procedures and periodic reporting procedures.

Our asset management activities in Switzerland, which include the establishment and administration of mutual funds registered for public distribution, are conducted under the supervision of FINMA and are governed by FinIA, FinSA and the Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes.

**Resolution regime** 

Following the financial crisis of 2007/2008, the Swiss legislator promulgated special rules for the stabilization and restructuring of systemically important financial institutions. Among other aspects, these rules require plans for recovery and resolution. Each systemically important bank is required to submit a recovery plan to FINMA once a year, in which it sets out how it would stabilize itself in a crisis without government intervention, also taking the requirements of foreign regulators into account; this plan requires FINMA's approval. In addition, each Swiss systemically important bank must submit an emergency plan, in which it details how it would ensure uninterrupted continuity of its systemically important functions in Switzerland, particularly access to deposits and payments, in a crisis; FINMA must review this plan and evaluate whether it is ready to be implemented if necessary. Credit Suisse was required to submit an effective Swiss emergency plan to FINMA for review by the end of 2019, and on February 25, 2020, FINMA published a report noting that it regarded the Swiss emergency plan submitted by Credit Suisse as effective. A third element is the resolution plan, which FINMA produces for systemically important banks, indicating how the entire global group would be recapitalized, restructured and/or liquidated in a crisis; FINMA assesses the resolvability of an institution on the basis of whether the preparations are sufficient to successfully implement the plan if necessary. On March 24, 2022, FINMA published a report providing a detailed assessment of the recovery and resolution plans of the systemically important Swiss institutions. FINMA approved the recovery plans of all five systemically important Swiss banks. FINMA continued to regard the Swiss emergency plan submitted by Credit Suisse as effective. With respect to the global resolvability, FINMA concluded that Credit Suisse has already taken important preparatory steps and has made further progress in 2021.

The Bank Law governs resolution (i.e., restructuring or liquidation) proceedings applicable to Swiss banks and securities firms, such as Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, and Swiss-domiciled parent companies of financial groups, such as Credit Suisse Group AG, and certain other unregulated Swiss-domiciled companies belonging to financial groups. Additional implementing provisions are set out under the FINMA Banking Insolvency Ordinance. Instead of prescribing a particular resolution concept, the Bank Law and the FINMA Banking Insolvency Ordinance provide FINMA with a significant amount of authority and discretion in the case of resolution, as well as various restructuring tools from which FINMA may choose.

FINMA may open resolution proceedings if there is an impending insolvency because there is justified concern that the relevant Swiss bank (or Swiss-domiciled parent companies of financial groups and certain other unregulated Swiss-domiciled companies belonging to financial groups) is over-indebted, has serious liquidity problems or no longer fulfills capital adequacy requirements. Resolution proceedings may only take the form of restructuring (rather than liquidation) proceedings if (i) the recovery of, or the continued provision of individual banking services by, the relevant bank appears likely and (ii) the creditors of the relevant bank are likely not worse off in restructuring proceedings than in liquidation proceedings. All realizable assets in the relevant entity's possession will be subject to such proceedings, regardless of where they are located.

If FINMA were to open restructuring proceedings with respect to Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG or Credit Suisse Group AG, it would have discretion to take decisive actions, including (i) transferring the assets of the banks or Credit Suisse Group AG, as applicable, or a portion thereof, together with its debt and other liabilities, or a portion thereof, and contracts, to another entity, (ii) staying (for a maximum of two working days) the termination of, and the exercise of rights to terminate netting rights, rights to enforce or dispose of certain types of collateral or rights to transfer claims, liabilities or certain collateral, under contracts to which the banks or Credit Suisse Group AG, as applicable, is a party, (iii) converting the debt of the banks or Credit Suisse Group AG, as applicable, into equity (debt-to-equity swap), and/or (iv) partially or fully writing off the obligations of the banks or Credit Suisse Group AG, as applicable (haircut).

Prior to any debt-to equity swap or haircut, outstanding equity capital and debt instruments issued by Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG or Credit Suisse Group AG that are part of its regulatory capital (including outstanding high trigger capital instruments and low trigger capital instruments) must be converted or written off (as applicable) and cancelled. Any debt-to-equity swap (but not any haircut) would have to follow the hierarchy of claims to the extent such debt is not excluded from such conversion by the Bank Law. Contingent liabilities of Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG or Credit Suisse Group AG such as guarantees could also be subjected to a debt-to-equity swap or a haircut, to the extent amounts are due and payable thereunder at any time during restructuring proceedings.

For systemically important institutions, such as Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG and Credit Suisse Group AG, creditors have no right to reject the restructuring plan approved by FINMA.

**Supervision** 

The Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructure and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading (FMIA) governs the organization and operation of financial market infrastructures and the conduct of financial market participants in securities and derivatives trading. FMIA, along with the Financial Market Infrastructure Ordinance (FMIO) came into effect on January 1, 2016, subject to certain transitional periods. Under the FMIA, FINMA was designated to determine the timing of the introduction of a clearing obligation and to specify the categories of derivatives covered. Accordingly, on September 1, 2018, the revised Ordinance of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading entered into force, introducing a mandatory clearing obligation for standardized interest-rate and credit derivatives traded over-the-counter (OTC) and making effective, as of such date, the deadlines for the first clearing obligations laid down in the FMIO.

**Tax**

**Automatic exchange of information and administrative assistance in tax matters**

In Switzerland, the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (MAC) and the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA), together with the Federal Act on the International Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters and its implementing ordinance, form the legal basis for the automatic exchange of information. Based on the MCAA, the multilateral agreement with the EU on the international automatic exchange of information in tax matters and a number of bilateral automatic exchange of information (AEI) agreements, most of them based on the MCAA, Switzerland collects and exchanges information with more than 100 jurisdictions in respect of financial assets held in, and income derived thereon and credited to, accounts or deposits maintained in Switzerland.

Further to the MAC, Switzerland is required to spontaneously exchange certain information on advanced tax rulings in accordance with the OECD and G20 project to combat base erosion and profit shifting. Additionally in 2009, Switzerland adopted the OECD standard on administrative assistance in tax matters in accordance with Art. 26 of the OECD Model Agreement which has subsequently been included in 81 Double Tax Agreements, 80 of which are in force and applicable. The 2009 protocol (Protocol, ratified in 2019) amending the tax treaty regarding income tax between Switzerland and the US, a mechanism for the exchange of information upon request in tax matters between Switzerland and the US is now in place. This mechanism allows the US to make group requests under the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) concerning non-consenting US accounts and non-consenting non-participating foreign financial institutions. The Protocol further erases the distinction between tax evasion and tax fraud in the context of administrative assistance to permit any exchanges of information as may be relevant to the administration or enforcement of the domestic laws concerning taxes.

Finally, in accordance with the MCAA on the Exchange of Country-by-Country Reports as well as the implementing Swiss federal legislation, multinational groups of companies in Switzerland have to prepare country-by-country reports since the 2018 tax year with the exchange of the reports by Switzerland having started in 2020.

**Tax exemptions on TLAC and similar instruments**

Based on the revised Withholding Tax Act, which entered into force on January 1, 2022, the exemption from withholding tax of interest paid on contingent convertible bonds and write-down bonds of banks or group companies of finance groups which were approved by FINMA and issued between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2021, has been extended to issuances between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2026. It also exempts interest paid on TLAC instruments approved by FINMA for purposes of meeting regulatory requirements which have been or will be issued between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2026, or have been issued prior to January 1, 2017 where the foreign issuer thereof has been or will be substituted for a Swiss issuer between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2026.

Furthermore, since 2017, equity securities in banks or group companies of a financial group issued in connection with the conversion of TLAC instruments into equity are exempt from the 1% issuance stamp tax, in addition to the exemption since 2012 for equity securities in banks issued from conversion capital.

**Participation exemption for "Too Big to Fail" instruments**

Current legislation requires systemically important banks to issue contingent convertible bonds, write-off bonds and bail-in bonds ("Too Big to Fail" instruments) through their top holding company, which may then on-lend the funds to direct or indirect subsidiaries. Based on the revised Withholding Tax Act, as amended by the Federal Act on Calculation of the Participation Deduction for "Too Big to Fail" instruments, which became effective as of January 1, 2019, top holding companies (Konzernobergesellschaften) of systemically important banks are permitted to carve out interest expenses on these "Too Big to Fail" instruments for purposes of calculating their tax-exempt net participation income. To level the effect of the carve-out, the respective assets and liabilities positions are also eliminated in the calculation. This allows for a calculation of the participation exemption with a complete carve-out of "Too Big to Fail" instruments to the extent the proceeds thereof are downstreamed.

**50:50 distribution rule**

Based on the Withholding Tax Act and federal and cantonal income tax acts, as amended by the Federal Act on Tax Reform and Alters- und Hinterlassenenversicherung (AHV) Financing, which became effective as of January 1, 2020, companies listed on a Swiss stock exchange that are paying a dividend out of legal capital contribution reserves are required to simultaneously pay a dividend out of taxable reserves of at least the same amount.

Also, under these new rules, when a company listed on a Swiss stock exchange repurchases shares to cancel them, the company must charge at least fifty percent of the liquidation amount to capital contribution reserves, the liquidation amount being the amount equal to the repurchase price less the nominal amount. Prior to the new law, these companies were not limited in using the one or other type of reserves.

**The Swiss Federal Tax Authority's and Swiss courts' practice on withholding tax refunds** 

The Swiss Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and the Swiss courts continue to apply a strict beneficial ownership test for the application of any double taxation agreement-based refund or Swiss domestic law-based refund of Swiss withholding tax on dividend payments and interest payments on equity instruments or bond instruments, respectively, of issuers domiciled in Switzerland. The focus is on the beneficial ownership of the securities and/or the dividends or interest at the time of payment, which is assessed from a factual and economic point of view, without regard to the parties' intentions or motivation. At the request of the FTA, the party requesting a refund must prove beneficial ownership in the form of detailed documentation. In the context of derivative transactions, it has become increasingly more difficult to obtain a refund of Swiss withholding tax as in many cases the FTA will not consider the recipient of a payment subject to withholding tax as the beneficial owner of such payment if the market risk from the securities paying the taxable amount is fully or almost fully hedged by the derivative transaction. However, the Swiss Supreme Court has also held that this strict application of the beneficial ownership test, as well as the proof requirements, do not mean that a financial institution involved in a derivative transaction is not entitled to a refund; if beneficial ownership can be established, a refund will be granted.

**Cybersecurity**

FINMA continues to view cyber risks as one of the most significant operational risks for financial institutions, and has increasingly focused its supervisory practice on such risks. Supervised institutions such as Credit Suisse are, therefore, required to adequately address the relevant cyber risks under their operational risk management. These risks are also monitored directly by FINMA, for example through ongoing supervision and focused on-site audits, and monitored by audit firms as part of the regulatory audit process. Further, under the FINMA Guidance 05/2020 – Duty to report cyber attacks pursuant to Article 29 paragraph 2 FINMASA, FINMA has outlined the regulatory duties in case of cyber attacks directed against Swiss supervised financial institutions. Thereunder, supervised entities must notify FINMA within 24 hours of cyber attacks that could potentially lead to a malfunction or failure of its critical functions. Depending on the severity of the cyber attack, additional disclosure and reporting obligations may apply.

**Environmental, social and human rights – due diligence, disclosure obligations and prevention of greenwashing**

The Swiss regulatory framework sets out a number of due diligence and disclosure requirements relating to environmental, social and human rights related matters. Under the Ordinance on Due Diligence and Transparency Requirements regarding Metals and Mineral from Conflict Areas and Child Labor (Due Diligence and Transparency Ordinance), companies of public interest (i.e., listed companies, banks, insurance companies and other supervised companies in the financial sector) must report annually on certain non-financial matters and must provide information on the impact the company's activity has on environmental (including CO2 targets), social, employee, human rights and anti-corruption matters. In addition, under the FINMA Circular 2016/01 "Disclosure – Banks" (Circular), large banks, such as Credit Suisse, are required to describe the major climate-related financial risks and their impact on the business strategy, business model and financial planning. Finally, under the FINMA Guidance 05/2021 on preventing and combating greenwashing, FINMA has communicated which measures FINMA expects regulated financial institutions to take in order to prevent greenwashing of financial products.

**US**

**Banking regulation and supervision**

Our US banking operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision in the US. Our direct US offices are composed of our New York Branch and representative offices in California. Each of these offices is licensed with, and subject to examination and regulation by, the state banking authority in the state in which it is located.

Our New York Branch is licensed by the New York Superintendent of Financial Services (Superintendent), examined by the Department of Financial Services (DFS), and subject to laws and regulations applicable to a foreign bank operating a New York branch. Under the New York Banking Law, our New York Branch must maintain eligible assets with banks in the state of New York. The amount of eligible assets required, which is expressed as a percentage of third-party liabilities, could increase if our New York Branch is no longer designated as well rated by the Superintendent.

The New York Banking Law authorizes the Superintendent to seize our New York Branch and all of Credit Suisse AG's business and property in New York State (which includes property of our New York Branch, wherever it may be located, and all of Credit Suisse AG's property situated in New York State) under circumstances generally including violations of law, unsafe or unsound practices or insolvency. In liquidating or dealing with our New York Branch's business after taking possession, the Superintendent would only accept for payment the claims of depositors and other creditors (unaffiliated with us) that arose out of transactions with our New York Branch. After the claims of those creditors were paid out of the business and property of the Bank in New York, the Superintendent would turn over the remaining assets, if any, to us or our liquidator or receiver.

Under New York banking law and US federal banking laws, our New York Branch is generally subject to single borrower lending limits expressed as a percentage of the worldwide capital of the

Bank. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, lending limits take into account credit exposure arising from derivative transactions, securities borrowing and lending transactions and repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements with counterparties.

Our US operations are also subject to reporting and examination requirements under US federal banking laws. Our US non-banking operations are subject to examination by the Fed in its capacity as our US umbrella supervisor. The New York Branch is also subject to examination by the Fed and is subject to federal banking law requirements and limitations on the acceptance and maintenance of deposits. The New York Branch is not a member of, and its deposits are not insured by, the FDIC, and it does not engage in retail deposit taking.

US federal banking laws provide that a state-licensed branch (such as the New York Branch) or agency of a foreign bank may not, as a general matter, engage as principal in any type of activity that is not permissible for a federally licensed branch or agency of a foreign bank unless the Fed has determined that such activity is consistent with sound banking practice. In addition, regulations which the Fed may adopt (including at the recommendation of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC)) could affect the nature of the activities which the Bank (including the New York Branch) may conduct, and may impose restrictions and limitations on the conduct of such activities.

The Fed may terminate the activities of a US branch or agency of a foreign bank if it finds that the foreign bank: (i) is not subject to comprehensive supervision in its home country; (ii) has violated the law or engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking practice in the US; or (iii) for a foreign bank that presents a risk to the stability of the US financial system, the home country of the foreign bank has not adopted, or made demonstrable progress toward adopting, an appropriate system of financial regulation to mitigate such risk.

Credit Suisse Group and the Bank became financial holding companies for purposes of US federal banking law in 2000 and, as a result, may engage in a broad range of non-banking activities in the US, including insurance, securities, private equity and other financial activities, in each case subject to regulatory requirements and limitations. Credit Suisse Group is still required to obtain the prior approval of the Fed (and potentially other US banking regulators) before acquiring, directly or indirectly, the ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares of (or otherwise controlling) any US bank, bank holding company or many other US depositary institutions and their holding companies, and as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, before making certain acquisitions involving large non-bank companies. The New York Branch is also restricted from engaging in certain tying arrangements involving products and services, and in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates. If Credit Suisse Group or the Bank ceases to be well-capitalized or well-managed under applicable Fed rules, or otherwise fails to meet any of the requirements for financial holding company status, it may be required to discontinue certain financial activities or terminate its New York Branch. Credit Suisse Group's ability to undertake acquisitions permitted for financial holding companies could also be adversely affected.

Credit Suisse is also subject to the so-called "Volcker Rule," which limits the ability of banking entities to sponsor or invest in certain private equity or hedge funds, broadly defined, and to engage in certain types of proprietary trading for their own account. These restrictions are subject to certain exclusions and exemptions, including with respect to underwriting, market-making, risk-mitigating hedging and certain asset and fund management activities, and with respect to certain transactions and investments occurring solely outside of the US. The Volcker Rule requires banking entities to establish an extensive array of compliance policies, procedures and quantitative metrics reporting designed to ensure and monitor compliance with restrictions under the Volcker Rule. It also requires an annual attestation either by the Chief Executive Officer of the top-tier foreign banking organization or the senior management officer in the US as to the implementation of a compliance program reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the Volcker Rule. Credit Suisse has implemented a Volcker Rule compliance program reasonably designed to satisfy the requirements of the Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule's implementing regulations are highly complex and may be subject to further rulemaking and regulatory interpretation and guidance.

Fed regulations implementing the Dodd-Frank Act required Credit Suisse to create a single US IHC to hold all of its US subsidiaries with limited exceptions. The IHC requirement does not apply to the New York Branch. Credit Suisse's US IHC is subject to US risk-based capital and leverage requirements that are largely consistent with the Basel III framework published by the BCBS, though they diverge in several important respects due to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, and is subject to capital planning and capital stress testing requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Credit Suisse's US IHC is also subject to additional requirements under the Fed's TLAC framework for IHCs, described above. In addition, both Credit Suisse's US IHC itself and the combined US operations of Credit Suisse (including Credit Suisse's US IHC and the New York Branch) are subject to other prudential requirements, including with respect to liquidity risk management, liquidity stress testing and separate liquidity buffers for each of Credit Suisse's US IHC and the New York Branch. Our US IHC is also subject to the Fed's applicable rules on liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), single counterparty credit limits (SCCL) and, effective as of July 1, 2021, the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). The SCCL limits our aggregate net credit exposures to any single unaffiliated counterparty based on Tier 1 capital. Our combined US operations (including our US IHC and New York Branch) have certified of substituted compliance with comparable home country rules, but our US IHC is ineligible for the substituted compliance regime and remains subject to a separate SCCL requirement. Under proposals that remain under consideration, the combined US operations of Credit Suisse may become subject to an early remediation regime which could be triggered by risk-based capital,

leverage, stress tests, liquidity, risk management and market indicators.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for further information on Basel III LCR and NSFR.

A major focus of US policy and regulation relating to financial institutions has been to combat money laundering and terrorist financing and to enforce compliance with US economic sanctions. These laws and regulations impose obligations to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect and report money laundering and terrorist financing, verify the identity of customers and beneficial owners as part of a customer due diligence program and comply with economic sanctions. Any failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, and any conduct targeted by or in violation of such economic sanctions, laws and regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences. Conflicts of law, including those arising from blocking regulations targeting US sanctions, may also raise serious legal risks. We take our obligations to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing in the US and globally and to comply with US economic sanctions very seriously, while appropriately respecting and protecting the confidentiality of clients. We therefore maintain policies, procedures and training intended to ensure compliance with the applicable US anti-money laundering, counter terrorist financing and sanctions laws and regulations. We are also subject to both the anti-bribery and accounting provisions of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The anti-bribery provisions prohibit the bribery of non-US government officials. The accounting provisions require us to keep accurate books and records and to maintain a system of internal accounting controls.

**Broker-dealer and asset management regulation and supervision** 

Our US broker-dealers are subject to extensive regulation by US regulatory authorities. The SEC is the federal agency primarily responsible for the regulation of broker-dealers, investment advisers and investment companies. In addition, the US Treasury has the authority to promulgate rules relating to US Treasury and government agency securities, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) has the authority to promulgate rules relating to municipal securities, and the MSRB also promulgates regulations applicable to certain securities credit transactions. In addition, broker-dealers are subject to regulation by securities industry self-regulatory organizations, including FINRA, and by state securities authorities.

Our US broker-dealers are registered with the SEC and our primary US broker-dealer is registered in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Our US registered entities are subject to extensive regulatory requirements that apply to all aspects of their business activity, including, where applicable: capital requirements; the use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities; the suitability of customer investments and best interest obligations for certain retail customers; record-keeping and reporting requirements; employee-related matters; limitations on extensions of credit in securities transactions; prevention and detection of money laundering and terrorist financing; procedures relating to research analyst independence; procedures for the clearance and settlement of trades; and communications with the public.

Our US broker-dealers are also subject to the SEC's net capital rule, which requires broker-dealers to maintain a specified level of minimum net capital in relatively liquid form. Compliance with the net capital rule could limit operations that require intensive use of capital, such as underwriting and trading activities and the financing of customer account balances and also could restrict our ability to withdraw capital from our broker-dealers. Most of our US broker-dealers are also subject to additional net capital requirements of FINRA and, in some cases, other self-regulatory organizations.

Our securities and asset management businesses include legal entities registered and regulated as a broker-dealer and investment adviser by the SEC. The SEC-registered mutual funds that we advise are subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. For pension fund customers, we are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and similar state statutes.

The Dodd-Frank Act also requires broader regulation of hedge funds and private equity funds, as well as credit rating agencies.

**Derivative regulation and supervision** 

The CFTC is the federal agency primarily responsible for the regulation of futures commission merchants, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors and introducing brokers, among other regulatory categories. With the effectiveness of the Dodd-Frank Act, CFTC oversight was expanded to include persons engaging in a relevant activity with respect to swaps, and registration categories were added for swap dealers and major swap participants. For derivatives activities, these CFTC registrants are subject to industry self-regulatory organizations, such as the National Futures Association (NFA), which has been designated by the CFTC as a registered futures association.

CSI is registered with the CFTC as a swap dealer as a result of its applicable swap activities and is therefore subject to requirements relating to reporting, record-keeping, swap confirmation, swap portfolio reconciliation and compression, mandatory clearing, mandatory on-facility trading, swap trading relationship documentation, external business conduct, risk management, chief compliance officer duties and reports and internal controls. However, where permitted by comparability determinations by the CFTC or in reliance on no-action letters issued by the CFTC, non-US swap dealers, including CSI, can comply with certain requirements through substituted compliance with EU regulations. The CFTC has also granted no-action letters that have applied since the UK's withdrawal from the EU, which permit CSI to satisfy such requirements by complying with relevant UK regulations.

As a registered swap dealer that is a foreign bank, CSI is subject to the margin rules for uncleared swaps and security-based swaps of the Fed, and CSI likewise is only subject to these rules in connection with its uncleared swaps and security-based swaps with US persons, non-US persons guaranteed by US persons, and certain non-US swap dealer subsidiaries of US persons. The Fed's margin rules have followed a phased implementation schedule. Since March 1, 2017, CSI has been required to comply with variation margin requirements with covered entities under these rules, requiring the exchange of daily mark-to-market margin with all such covered entities. Initial margin requirements began phasing in annually for different counterparties from September 1, 2016, with the final phase of counterparties with material swap exposure subject to initial margin as of September 1, 2022. The broad expansion of initial margin requirements on September 1, 2022 affected a large number of counterparties and required significant outreach and new documentation with existing clients, and will continue to impact similarly situated new clients going forward.

CSI, which is a UK bank provisionally registered with the CFTC as a swap dealer, is now subject to CFTC financial reporting requirements. The CFTC has issued a time-limited no-action letter for swap dealers subject to capital requirements of the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Fed, the FDIC, the Farm Credit Administration or the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which provides that the CFTC's Market Participants Division will not recommend an enforcement action to the CFTC if such swap dealers fail to comply with certain CFTC financial reporting requirements. Although CSI would be able to avail itself of such no-action relief, due to CSI's dual registration with the SEC as a security-based swap dealer, the conditions imposed by the SEC UK substituted compliance order discussed below effectively supersede such no-action relief. Thus, CSI must bear increased cost to comply with the SEC's requirements given that they diverge from CSI's UK financial reporting obligations (for example by requiring it to report certain different financial information).

One of our US broker-dealers, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, is also registered as a futures commission merchant and subject to the capital, segregation and other requirements of the CFTC and the NFA.

Our asset management businesses include legal entities registered and regulated as commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors by the CFTC and the NFA and therefore are subject to disclosure, recordkeeping, reporting and other requirements of the CFTC and the NFA.

The Dodd-Frank Act mandates that the CFTC establish, and the CFTC has established, aggregate position limits for certain physical commodity futures contracts and economically equivalent swaps. Position limits on future contracts adopted by the CFTC in 2020 are in effect as of January 1, 2022, and position limits on swaps and related new hedging restrictions adopted by the CFTC are in effect as of January 1, 2023. Overall, the position limit rules may restrict the ability of our asset management businesses to trade in physical commodity derivatives covered by position limits, restrict the ability of our market-making businesses to provide liquidity in these derivatives to certain types of clients, and generally increase the compliance costs and burdens of our businesses that transact in physical commodity derivatives.

The SEC has finalized rules implementing most of the key derivatives provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including security-based swap dealer registration, capital, margin, segregation, internal and external business conduct, recordkeeping and financial reporting, risk mitigation techniques, and transaction reporting rules. Unlike the CFTC, the SEC has not yet finalized rules relating to mandatory clearing or mandatory on-facility trading. Each of CSI and Credit Suisse AG have registered with the SEC as a security-based swap dealer effective November 1, 2021 and are thus subject to the requirements under the SEC rules. While the SEC's rules have largely paralleled many of the CFTC's rules, significant differences between the final CFTC and SEC rules could materially increase the compliance costs associated with, and hinder the efficiency of, our equity and credit derivatives businesses with US persons. For example, significant differences between the cross-border application of SEC and CFTC rules could have such effects. In particular, SEC rules applying public transaction reporting and external business conduct requirements to security-based swaps between non-US persons that are arranged, negotiated or executed by US personnel (ANE transactions) could discourage non-US counterparties from entering into such transactions, especially given the limited extent to which the SEC permits substituted compliance with relevant non-US requirements. While the SEC has issued time-limited relief from its reporting requirements which will last until the earlier of November 8, 2025 or 12 months after the SEC provides notice that its no-action position will expire, the portion of the relief related to assignment of reporting duties does not extend to certain ANE transactions. The SEC has issued final orders for substituted compliance for non-US, SEC-registered security-based swap dealers that are subject to certain UK and Swiss regulations, respectively, which would allow such security-based swap dealers to comply with certain requirements under the SEC rules via compliance with corresponding requirements of the UK and Switzerland, respectively. CSI and Credit Suisse AG avail themselves of such substituted compliance in respect of certain SEC rules, which reduces the extent of their burden of having to reconcile compliance with conflicting SEC and UK or Swiss requirements. However, both orders include extensive conditions and limitations, especially in relation to such matters as counterparty protection and financial reporting requirements, which limit the extent to which CSI and Credit Suisse AG avail themselves of substituted compliance and subject CSI and Credit Suisse AG to additional costs and burdens due to a need to still comply with various SEC rules and conditions.

**FATCA** 

Pursuant to an agreement with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) entered into in compliance with FATCA, Credit Suisse is required to identify and provide the IRS with information on accounts held by US persons and certain US-owned foreign

entities, as well as to withhold tax on payments made to foreign financial institutions that are not in compliance with FATCA and account holders who fail to provide sufficient information to classify an account as a US or non-US account. Switzerland and the US have entered into a "Model 2" intergovernmental agreement to implement FATCA, which requires Credit Suisse to disclose account details directly to the US tax authority with the consent of the US clients concerned. Where US clients do not provide Credit Suisse consent to disclose to the IRS, the US authorities must make a group request for this data through normal administrative assistance channels. Group requests are effective for information applying to cases dating from June 30, 2014.

**Resolution regime** 

The Dodd-Frank Act also established an "Orderly Liquidation Authority," a regime for the orderly liquidation of systemically significant non-bank financial companies, which could potentially apply to certain of our US entities. The Secretary of the US Treasury may under certain circumstances appoint the FDIC as receiver for a failing financial company in order to prevent risks to US financial stability. The FDIC would then have the authority to charter a "bridge" company to which it can transfer assets and liabilities of the financial company, including swaps and other qualified financial contracts, in order to preserve the continuity of critical functions of the financial company. The FDIC has indicated that it prefers a single-point-of-entry strategy, although it retains the ability to resolve individual financial companies. In July 2020, the FDIC and SEC finalized rules that would clarify the application of the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) in a receivership for a systemically significant broker-dealer under the Dodd-Frank Act's Orderly Liquidation Authority, which could potentially apply to our US broker-dealer. The rules clarify how relevant provisions of SIPA would be incorporated into a proceeding under the Orderly Liquidation Authority, that the Securities Investor Protection Corporation would be appointed as trustee for the broker-dealer, the claims process and the FDIC's powers as receiver with respect to the transfer of assets of the broker-dealer.

As referred to above, the Dodd-Frank Act and implementing regulations require bank holding companies and companies treated as bank holding companies with total consolidated assets above specified thresholds to submit periodically to the Fed and the FDIC resolution plans describing the strategy for rapid and orderly resolution under the US Bankruptcy Code or other applicable insolvency regimes, though such plans may not rely on the Orderly Liquidation Authority. Our combined US operations are required to file a resolution plan every three years, alternating between a full resolution plan and a less extensive targeted resolution plan containing certain core elements, responses to any targeted information request, and certain changes from the previous full plan. We filed a targeted plan on December 17, 2021. However, as described above among our recent regulatory developments and proposals, the Fed and FDIC announced that they identified two deficiencies in our 2021 targeted plan submission, for which we are required to submit a revised resolution plan. The deadline for our next full plan is July 1, 2024.

**Data protection and cybersecurity**

In the United States, we are subject to the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the DFS Cybersecurity Regulation (discussed below), and some of our operations may be subject to other consumer protection or privacy laws related to the collection, processing and disclosure of consumer personal information, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The GLBA, which is enforced by numerous administrative agencies such as the SEC, requires covered financial institutions to explain their information collection and sharing practices to their customers, provide opt-out mechanisms to prevent the disclosure of customer nonpublic personal information to certain nonaffiliated third parties, and safeguard nonpublic personal information by establishing appropriate standards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and protect against anticipated threats or hazards and the unauthorized access to or use of such information. Similarly, the CPRA, which became effective on January 1, 2023 and amends the CCPA with additional data privacy compliance requirements, requires a covered business to provide disclosures to California consumers about such business' data collection, use and sharing practices and gives California residents expanded rights with respect to the processing of their personal information and sensitive personal information.

Additionally, federal and state regulators, including the DFS, Fed, FINRA and the SEC, continue to increase focus on cybersecurity risks and responses for regulated entities. For example, the DFS continues to update and enforce its Cybersecurity Regulation, which applies to any licensed person, including DFS-licensed branches of non-US banks, and requires each covered entity to assess its specific risk profile periodically and design a program that addresses such risks in a robust fashion. Furthermore, each covered entity must monitor its systems and networks and notify the superintendent of the DFS within 72 hours after it is determined that a material cybersecurity event has occurred. The Fed has also adopted a notification rule effective May 2022 that requires certain banking organizations (including the US operations of non-US banks) to notify the Fed within 36 hours of a determination that a significant computer-security incident has occurred. Similarly, FINRA has identified cybersecurity as a significant risk and will assess firms' programs to mitigate those risks. In addition, the SEC has issued expanded interpretative guidance that highlights requirements under US federal consumer protection and securities laws that public operating companies must pay particular attention to with respect to cybersecurity risks and incidents.

**EU**

**Financial services regulation and supervision** 

Our EU banks, investment firms and fund managers are subject to extensive regulation by EU and national regulatory authorities, whose requirements are increasingly imposed under EU directives and regulations aimed at increasing integration and harmonization in the European market for financial services. While regulations

have immediate and direct effect in EU member states, directives must be implemented through national legislation. As a result, the terms of implementation of directives are not always consistent from country to country. In response to the financial crisis and in order to strengthen European supervisory arrangements, the EU established the European Systemic Risk Board, which has macro-prudential oversight of the financial system. The EU has also established three supervisory authorities responsible for promoting greater harmonization and consistent application of EU legislation by national regulators: the EBA, the European Securities and Markets Authority and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority.

The Basel III capital framework is implemented in the EU by the amendments to the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) (through the amending directive CRD V) and the CRR II (jointly known as the CRD V package). The CRD V amendments include a new requirement, applicable from December 30, 2023, for non-EU banking groups with two or more institutions and at least EUR 40 billion of assets in the EU to establish an EU intermediate financial holding company that would be subject to consolidated prudential supervision in the EU. In October 2021, the European Commission published legislative proposals for the amendment of the CRR, including through CRR III, and for the amendment of the CRD through an amending Directive (CRD VI). CRR III contains, among other things, proposed reforms to the CRR regarding international prudential standards based on the Basel III framework, including provisions relating to credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, operational risk, market risk and the output floor, which were due to be implemented by January 1, 2023 (according to the timeline set by the Basel Committee), but under the proposals would apply from January 1, 2025. The CRD VI proposal includes, among other things, measures relating to supervisory powers, sanctions, and ESG risks and new measures regarding the provision of banking services into the EU by third-country undertakings. The Council of the EU and the European Parliament are currently negotiating to reach a final agreed text.

The revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and the Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFIR) have introduced enhanced organizational and business conduct standards that apply to investment firms, including a number of Credit Suisse EU entities advising clients within the European Economic Area. In February 2021, the EU enacted a series of "quick-fix" amendments to MiFID II, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, relating to product governance, payment for research, client information requirements, energy derivatives markets and best execution requirements. Furthermore, in November 2021, the European Commission adopted two legislative proposals for a new regulation and a new directive amending MiFID II and MiFIR as part of its 2020 Capital Markets Union Action Plan. This legislative package would establish a new process for selecting consolidated tape providers for the EU market; moreover, the proposals would, among other things, make changes to the transparency regimes, update the share and derivative trading obligations and introduce restrictions on payments for order flow.

The Benchmarks Regulation (BMR) introduces new rules aimed at ensuring greater accuracy and integrity of benchmarks in financial instruments. The BMR sets out various requirements which govern the activities of benchmark administrators and submitters. Certain requirements have applied to Credit Suisse in its capacity as a contributor to several critical benchmarks since June 2016. The majority of the other provisions of the BMR have applied since January 2018, although a two-year transition period permitting usage of the EU non-critical benchmark, not yet compliant with the BMR, by EU-supervised entities came to an end on December 2019 and "critical" and third country benchmark providers, including CSI as a UK benchmark administrator, have been given until December 31, 2023 to comply.

In January 2017, the European Commission Delegated Regulation supplementing the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) with regard to regulatory technical standards for risk mitigation techniques for OTC derivatives not cleared by a central counterparty (CCP) entered into force. The Delegated Regulation imposes a requirement on financial counterparties and non-financial counterparties above the clearing threshold to collect initial margin and variation margin in respect of non-centrally cleared OTC derivative transactions. In February 2021, the deadline for the implementation of initial margin requirements for firms in the final implementation phases has been extended to September 2021 (phase 5) and September 2022 (phase 6), whereas the temporary exemption from initial margin and variation margin requirements for single-stock equity options and index options (equity options) has been extended to January 4, 2024.

In June 2019, a broad range of amendments to EMIR (through the "EMIR Refit" Regulation) entered into force, including in relation to counterparty classification, clearing, margin and reporting requirements. The amendments include an obligation for clearing members and clients which provide clearing services to provide services under fair, reasonable, non-discriminatory and transparent commercial terms. Further amendments to EMIR (known as "EMIR 2.2") entered into force in January 2020. EMIR 2.2 focuses on the authorization and supervision of CCPs. Amongst other things, EMIR 2.2 creates new supervisory mechanisms for ensuring more coherent and consistent supervision of EU CCPs as well as a more robust regime for recognizing non-EU CCPs, including through the newly established CCP Supervisory Committee and a tiering system for non-EU CCPs according to their systemic importance to the EU or member states.

On February 8, 2022, the EU Commission adopted a decision to extend equivalence for UK central counterparties (CCPs) until June 30, 2025 only.

On December 7, 2022, the European Commission proposed a legislative package (so-called EMIR 3) to review the central clearing framework in the EU, through certain amendments to EMIR, CRR, CRD, the Investment Firm Directive (IFD), the UCITS Directive and the Money Market Funds (MMF) Regulation with the purpose of making the EU clearing system more attractive, by simplifying regulatory procedures and strengthening the EU

supervisory framework for CCPs, as well as requiring clearing members and clients to hold active accounts at EU CCPs and reducing excessive exposures of EU market participants to systemically important third country CCPs.

**Resolution regime** 

The BRRD establishes a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and applies to all Credit Suisse EU entities, including branches of the Bank. The BRRD introduces requirements for recovery and resolution plans, provides for bank resolution tools, including bail-in for failing banks, and establishes country-specific bank resolution financing arrangements. In addition, as part of their powers over banks in resolution, resolution authorities are empowered to replace a bank's senior management, transfer a bank's rights, assets and liabilities to another person, take a bank into public ownership, and close out and terminate a bank's financial contracts or derivatives contracts. Banks are required to produce recovery plans, describing proposed arrangements to permit them to restore their viability, while resolution authorities are empowered to produce resolution plans which describe how a bank may be resolved in an orderly manner, were it to fail.

Under the BRRD, the resolution authority can increase the capital of a failing or failed bank through bail-in: i.e., the write-down, reduction or cancellation of liabilities held by unsecured creditors, or their conversion to equity or other securities. All of a bank's liabilities are subject to bail-in, unless explicitly excluded by the BRRD because they are, for example, covered deposits, secured liabilities, or liabilities arising from holding client assets or client money.

The BRRD also requires banks to hold a certain amount of bail-inable loss-absorbing capacity at both individual and consolidated levels. This requirement is known as the MREL, and is conceptually similar to the TLAC framework.

In June 2019, amendments to BRRD (through BRRD II) entered into force. EU member states were required to adopt national legislative measures necessary to comply with BRRD II by December 2020. BRRD II contains amendments to the existing EU regime relating to MREL to align it with the TLAC standard and to introduce, among other things, changes to the contractual recognition of bail-in and a new moratorium power for competent authorities. The relevant amendments to the CRR relating to the indirect subscription of internal MREL-eligible instruments within resolution groups will apply from January 1, 2024 and the amendments of the BRRD relating to the indirect subscription of internal MREL-eligible instruments within resolution groups must be implemented by member states by November 15, 2023, while the other amendments to the BRRD and CRR applied from November 14, 2022.

**Anti-money laundering regulations**

In July 2021, the European Commission presented a package of legislative proposals to strengthen the EU's anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) rules. The legislative package, which is being discussed by the European Parliament and Council, introduces a new EU authority that will transform AML/CFT supervision and that should be operational in 2024. Further, a new directive, the Sixth Directive on AML/CTF (AMLD6), is expected to replace the existing Directive 2015/849/EU.

**Investment services regulation**

Since July 1, 2019, following a decision by the European Commission not to extend the recognition of the equivalence of the Swiss legal and supervisory framework for trading venues with that of the EU, EU investment firms are, in principle, prohibited from trading in certain equity securities of companies domiciled in Switzerland on Swiss trading venues. Likewise, since July 1, 2019, under measures taken by the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, trading venues domiciled in the EU are effectively prohibited from offering or facilitating trading in certain equity securities of Swiss companies.

**UK-EU relationship**

On June 23, 2016, voters in the UK voted to leave the EU. Following extensive negotiations with the EU on the terms of its withdrawal, the UK ceased to be a member of the EU on January 31, 2020, and after a transitional period ending on December 31, 2020, EU law, including financial services passporting, no longer applies in the UK. On December 24, 2020, the UK and the EU announced that they had agreed on a Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), which entered into full application in May 2021, following the ratification by the UK and EU, an Agreement between the UK and the European Atomic Energy Community for Cooperation on the Safe and Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and an Agreement concerning Security Procedures for Exchanging and Protecting Classified Information. The TCA generally does not cover financial services. On March 26, 2021, the EU and the UK announced that they had completed negotiations in relation to the "non-binding memorandum of understanding governing the regulatory dialogue" for regulatory cooperation in financial services. The memorandum of understanding has not yet been formally published or signed. Although equivalence may be one of the topics discussed in any regulatory dialogue, the decision to grant equivalence is unilateral and not subject to bilateral negotiation. There can be no assurance that the EU will grant equivalence to the UK financial services regime and (even if equivalence is granted) any such decision may be revoked at any time. Notably, on February 8, 2022 the EU Commission adopted a decision to extend equivalence for UK central counterparties (CCPs) until June 30, 2025 only.

**UK**

**Banking regulation and supervision** 

The principal statutory regulators of financial services activity in the UK are the PRA, a part of the Bank of England, which is responsible for the micro-prudential regulation of banks and larger investment firms, and the FCA, which regulates markets, the conduct of business of all financial firms, and the prudential regulation of firms not regulated by the PRA. In addition, the Financial Policy Committee of the Bank of England is responsible for macro-prudential regulation.

The body of EU law, as it stood at the end of the transition period, has largely been retained in UK law in the immediate term, the UK Treasury exercising certain statutory powers to adapt retained EU law relating to financial services, through statutory instruments. The statutory instruments did not make policy changes, but rather were intended to reflect the UK's new position outside the EU.

This includes certain parts of CRR (on-shored as UK CRR). In addition, the PRA has implemented rules corresponding to certain parts of CRR II that were not in force before the UK's withdrawal from the EU. These rules became effective on January 1, 2022. Accordingly, at present, the regulatory regime for banks operating in the UK largely conforms to required EU standards, including compliance with capital adequacy standards, customer protection requirements, conduct of business rules and anti-money laundering rules.

The UK intends to continue to adapt its legislative framework in the upcoming years, with significant legislative change, for example as announced in the Wholesale Markets Review and the Edinburgh Reforms. CSI, Credit Suisse (UK) Limited and Credit Suisse AG, London Branch are authorized to take deposits. We also have a number of entities authorized to conduct investment business and asset management activities. In deciding whether to grant authorization, the PRA must first determine whether a firm satisfies the threshold conditions for authorization, which include suitability and the requirement for the firm to be fit and proper. The PRA is also responsible for approval of certain models with respect to regulatory capital requirements of our UK subsidiaries.

Our London Branch is required to comply principally with Swiss home country regulation. However, as a response to the global financial crisis, the PRA made changes to its prudential supervision rules in its rulebook, applying a principle of "self-sufficiency," such that CSI, CSSEL and Credit Suisse (UK) Limited are required to maintain adequate liquidity resources, under the day-to-day supervision of the entity's senior management, held in a custodian account in the name of the entity, unencumbered and attributed to the entity balance sheet. In addition, the PRA requires CSI, CSSEL and Credit Suisse (UK) Limited to maintain a minimum capital ratio and to monitor and report large exposures in accordance with UK CRR and PRA rules.

The UK has a stringent regulatory regime for senior managers and specified risk takers in a bank or PRA authorized investment firm; it also makes reckless misconduct in the management of a bank a criminal offense. These rules impact our UK entities, such as CSI and CSSEL.

**Broker-dealer and asset management regulation and supervision**

Our London bank and broker-dealer subsidiaries are authorized under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) and are subject to regulation by the PRA and FCA. In addition, our asset management companies are authorized under the FSMA and are subject to regulation by the FCA. In deciding whether to authorize an investment firm in the UK, the PRA and FCA will consider the threshold conditions, which include suitability and the general requirement for a firm to be fit and proper. The PRA and FCA are responsible for regulating most aspects of an investment firm's business, including its regulatory capital, sales and trading practices, use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, record-keeping, margin practices and procedures, registration standards for individuals carrying on certain functions, anti-money laundering systems and periodic reporting and settlement procedures.

**Operational resilience**

From March 31, 2022, the UK operational resilience framework requires firms to identify their important business services, set impact tolerances for such business services and commence mapping and testing against severe but plausible scenarios. Under the rules of this framework, firms are expected to introduce any required resilience reinforcements to remain within their impact tolerances by March 31, 2025. These rules impact our UK entities, including CSI, CSSEL, Credit Suisse (UK) Limited and Credit Suisse AG, London Branch.

**Resolution regime**

The UK legislation related to the recovery and resolution of credit institutions such as Credit Suisse consists of the special resolution regime (SRR) and the PRA recovery and resolution framework, which implemented the BRRD in the UK. The UK Banking Act and the related secondary legislation govern the application of the SRR, which grants the UK authorities powers to handle systemically important firms, such as banks, in case of highly likely failure. The UK resolution authority is the Bank of England which is empowered, among other things, to direct firms and their parent undertakings to address or remove barriers to resolvability, to enforce resolution actions and to carry out resolvability assessments of credit institutions. Separately, the PRA has the power to require parent undertakings of firms subject to this regime to take actions such as the preparation and submission of group recovery plans or the facilitation of the use of resolution powers.

The Bank of England set out its approach to resolvability in a statement of policy issued in 2019, which forms part of its "resolvability assessment framework" (RAF). Among other things, the RAF sets out the outcomes firms must, as a minimum, be able to achieve to be considered resolvable. In May 2021, the PRA published amended rules, and an associated supervisory statement, regarding operational continuity in resolution (OCIR), which became effective on January 1, 2023, alongside changes made by the Bank of England to the RAF statement of policy. The amended OCIR requirements, and related changes to the RAF statement of policy, were designed to improve firms' resolvability. Further recent measures introduced by the PRA include its statement of policy on trading activity wind-down that will become effective from March 3, 2025. The statement of policy sets out the PRA's expectation that firms engaged in trading activities that may affect the financial stability of the UK should have capabilities that will allow them to execute a full or partial wind-down of their trading activities in an orderly fashion.

**Financial crime**

We are also subject, as a result of our operations in the UK, to UK financial crime legislation including the Bribery Act 2010, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 and economic sanctions imposed by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation of the UK government. In addition, as part of the FCA's responsibility to ensure the integrity of the UK financial markets, it requires all authorized firms in the UK, including CS entities, to have systems and controls in place to mitigate the risk that they might be used to commit financial crime.

Risk factors

Our businesses are exposed to a variety of risks that could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, including, among others, those described below, and many of these factors are beyond our control. Any of the risk factors described below, either by itself or together with other risk factors, could materially and adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity, or ready access to funds, is essential to all our businesses. We seek to maintain available liquidity to meet our obligations in a stressed liquidity environment.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for information on our liquidity management.

**Our liquidity could be impaired if we were unable to access the capital markets, sell our assets or if our liquidity costs increase** 

Our ability to borrow on a secured or unsecured basis and the cost of doing so can be affected by increases in interest rates or credit spreads, the availability of credit, regulatory requirements relating to liquidity, or the market perceptions of risk relating to us, certain of our counterparties or the banking sector as a whole, including our perceived or actual creditworthiness. An inability to obtain financing in the unsecured long-term or short-term debt capital markets, or to access the secured lending markets, could have a substantial adverse effect on our liquidity. In challenging credit markets, our funding costs may increase or we may be unable to raise funds to support or expand our businesses, adversely affecting our results of operations.

> Refer to "Regulatory framework" and "Regulatory developments" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Liquidity and funding management for further information.

If we are unable to raise needed funds in the capital markets (including through offerings of equity, regulatory capital securities and other debt), we may need to liquidate unencumbered assets to meet our liabilities. In a time of reduced liquidity, we may be unable to sell some of our assets, or we may need to sell assets at depressed prices, which in either case could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

**Our businesses rely significantly on our deposit base for funding**

Our businesses benefit from short-term funding sources, including primarily demand deposits, inter-bank loans, time deposits and cash bonds. Although deposits have been, over time, a stable source of funding, this may not continue, and we may experience, as we did in the fourth quarter of 2022, deposit outflows at levels that substantially exceed rates typically incurred. Deposits could also be negatively affected by clients instead choosing to seek deposits or securities products offering higher yields, clients switching to an alternative financial institution which they perceive to be safer or changes in client spending behavior as a result of inflation or other economic developments resulting in an increased need for cash. In any such case, our liquidity position could be adversely affected, and we might be unable to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at their contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature or to fund new loans, investments and businesses.

**Significant negative consequences of liquidity issues and outflows in assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, early in the fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits, non-renewal of maturing time deposits and net asset outflows at levels that substantially exceeded the rates incurred in the third quarter of 2022. These outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed as of the date of this report. These outflows led us to partially utilize liquidity buffers at the Group and legal entity level, and we fell below certain legal entity-level regulatory requirements.

These circumstances have exacerbated and may continue to exacerbate the risks described above in this section. In addition, this reduction in assets under management is expected to lead to reduced net interest income and recurring commissions and fees for the Group, which in turn could affect our ability to achieve our capital position objectives. A failure to reverse these outflows and to restore our assets under management and deposits could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

> Refer to "Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022" and "Outflows in assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022" in II – Operating and financial review – Credit Suisse – Other information for further information.

**Changes in our ratings may adversely affect our business** 

Ratings are assigned by rating agencies and are subject to such agencies' ongoing review in light of various firm-specific factors and factors relating to the financial services industry as a whole. Firm-specific factors that might influence their ratings include our financial strength, performance, operations and strategy, including the implementation of our new strategic direction, as well as the consequences of the significant liquidity issues and asset under management outflows we experienced in the fourth quarter of 2022. Factors relevant to the financial services industry as a whole, which includes factors outside of our control, that might influence their ratings include potential declines in profitability, asset quality deterioration, asset price volatility, risk and governance controls, capital adequacy, the impact from any potential easing or enhancement of regulatory requirements and challenges from increased costs related to compliance and litigation. In May 2022, Standard and Poor's Global Ratings Europe Limited (S&P) lowered its long-term issuer credit ratings, and Fitch Ratings Limited (Fitch) lowered its long-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse Group AG by one notch. In August 2022, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) lowered its long-term senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of Credit Suisse AG and its senior unsecured debt ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG by one notch, and Fitch lowered its long-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long- and short-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse AG, in each case by one notch. On November 1, 2022, Moody's downgraded the long-term senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of Credit Suisse AG

by one notch, and also downgraded all the short-term ratings by one notch and maintained the "negative" outlook on all ratings. S&P downgraded the long-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long- and short-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse AG, in each case by one notch on November 1, 2022. The outlook on these ratings was revised from "negative" to "stable." Rating agencies may lower, indicate their intention to lower or withdraw their ratings at any time and there is no assurance that our credit ratings will not be put on "negative" outlook or be downgraded in the future. In addition, any such "negative" outlook or downgrade could occur at times when our ability to respond may be limited due to broader market instability and/or lower general investor confidence.

These downgrades in our ratings increasingly elevated our borrowing costs and limited our ability to renew maturing short-term funding and to access short-term funding markets. The downgrades have increased our cost of capital and adversely affected and may in the future continue to adversely affect the ability of our businesses to sell or market their products, engage in business transactions, particularly financing and derivative transactions, and retain our clients. For example, some of our clients and counterparties could have ratings limitations on their permissible counterparties, which we may or may not be aware of, and certain clients and counterparties may choose to re-assess their business relationships with us and/or limit certain contracts or market instruments in response to any ratings downgrades. If our trading or other agreements are terminated in relation to a credit rating downgrade, we may sustain losses or reductions to our liquidity that require us to seek other financing sources or make significant payments, whether in cash or securities. Additionally, although certain potential impacts stem from our contracts and are therefore quantifiable, other adverse effects of a credit rating downgrade may not currently be known to us and may be dependent on various factors and assumptions, such as the relationship between long- and short-term credit ratings and how clients, investors and counterparties behave. Further downgrades, including any downgrade below investment grade, could therefore negatively impact our operating results and financial position.

> Refer to "Credit ratings" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Liquidity and funding management – Funding management for further information relating to credit ratings

Archegos and SCFF-related risks

**Significant negative consequences of the Archegos and supply chain finance funds matters** 

As previously reported, Credit Suisse incurred a net charge of CHF 4.8 billion in 2021 in respect of the Archegos matter. Credit Suisse also previously reported that it is reasonably possible that it will incur a loss in respect of the supply chain finance funds (SCFF) matter, though it is not yet possible to estimate the full extent of any loss. However, the ultimate cost of resolving the SCFF matter may be material to our operating results.

A number of regulatory and other inquiries, investigations, enforcement and other actions have been initiated or are being considered in respect of each of these matters. In addition, we have been required by FINMA to take certain capital and related actions, as well as certain remedial measures. Furthermore, we are subject to various litigation claims and criminal complaints in respect of these matters and we may become subject to additional litigation, disputes or other actions.

> Refer to "Note 40 – Litigation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

On July 29, 2021, we published the report based on the independent external investigation into Archegos, which found, among other things, a failure to effectively manage risk in the Investment Bank's prime services business by both the first and second lines of defense as well as a lack of risk escalation. On February 10, 2022, we announced that the separate report related to the SCFF matter has been completed and that the findings have been made available to the Board of Directors and the report was shared with FINMA.

The combined effect of these two matters, including the material loss incurred in respect of Archegos, may have other material adverse consequences for us, including negative effects on our business and operating results from actions that we have taken and may be required or decide to take in the future in response to these matters. In addition, the Board of Directors has conducted a review of the Group's business strategy and risk appetite. There can be no assurance that these or other measures instituted to manage related risks will be effective in all instances. The changes resulting from the implementation of our strategic initiatives will also entail the incurrence of certain costs and charges, such as the ones we have previously reported.

There can be no assurance that any additional losses, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any further regulatory and other investigations and actions or any further downgrade of our credit ratings, will not be material to us, including from any impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, liquidity, capital position or reputation. For example, we have suffered and may continue to suffer reputational harm and reductions in certain areas of our business, such as outflows of assets, attributable, at least in part, to these matters. The ongoing effect of these matters, and this harm and these reductions, can continue to affect our business overall, including our ability to attract and retain customers, clients, investors and employees and to conduct business transactions with our counterparties. Our employee attrition has been higher over the last year, undoubtedly owing at least in part to these matters. While steps we have taken in response to the Archegos and SCFF matters are designed to reduce the Group's risks, some of these changes will constrain certain areas of our business, thereby impacting negatively our results of operations. These challenges are taking place in the context of worsening macroeconomic and market conditions, potentially amplifying some of the negative consequences noted above. The foregoing challenges may also make it more difficult to implement our strategic initiatives announced on October 27, 2022, as well as achievement of the targets and objectives associated with those initiatives.

Market and credit risks

**We may incur significant losses on our trading and investment activities due to market fluctuations and volatility**

Although we continue to strive to reduce our balance sheet and have made significant progress in implementing our strategy over the past few years, we also continue to maintain large trading and investment positions and hedges in the debt, currency and equity markets, and in private equity, hedge funds, real estate and other assets. These positions could be adversely affected by volatility in financial and other markets, that is, the degree to which prices fluctuate over a particular period in a particular market, regardless of market levels. To the extent that we own assets, or have net long positions, in any of those markets, a downturn in those markets could result in losses from a decline in the value of our net long positions. Conversely, to the extent that we have sold assets that we do not own, or have net short positions, in any of those markets, an upturn in those markets could expose us to potentially significant losses as we attempt to cover our net short positions by acquiring assets in a rising market. Market fluctuations, downturns and volatility can adversely affect the fair value of our positions and our results of operations. Adverse market or economic conditions or trends have caused, and in the future may cause, a significant decline in our net revenues and profitability.

**Our businesses and organization are subject to the risk of loss from adverse market conditions and unfavorable economic, monetary, political, legal, regulatory and other developments in the countries in which we operate**

As a global financial services company, our businesses could be materially adversely affected by unfavorable global and local economic and market conditions, including the risk of global recession, as well as geopolitical events and other developments in Europe, the US, Asia and elsewhere around the world (even in countries in which we do not currently conduct business). For example, the protraction or escalation of the conflict related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine could lead to additional regional and/or global instability, as well as adversely affect commodity and other financial markets or economic conditions. The US, EU, UK, Switzerland and other countries have imposed, and may further impose, financial and economic sanctions and export controls targeting certain Russian entities, individuals, and/or sectors, and we may face additional restrictions on engaging with certain consumer and/or institutional businesses due to any current or impending sanctions and laws (including any Russian countermeasures), which could adversely affect our business. Further, numerous countries have experienced severe economic disruptions particular to that country or region, including extreme currency fluctuations, increased energy costs, high inflation, or low or negative economic growth, among other negative conditions, which could have an adverse effect on our operations and investments. Global equity markets continued their downward trend in 2022, and volatility increased. The economic environment may experience further volatility, increased inflation or other negative economic impacts.

> Refer to "Regulation and supervision" and "Key risk developments" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management for further information.

In Europe, political uncertainty, including in relation to the UK's withdrawal from the EU, remains elevated and could cause disruptions in market conditions in Europe and around the world and could further have an adverse impact on financial institutions, including us. The economic and political impact of the UK leaving the EU, including on investments and market confidence in the UK and the remainder of the EU, may adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.

Following the UK's withdrawal from the EU, our legal entities that are organized or operate in the UK face limitations on providing services or otherwise conducting business in the EU, which require us to implement significant changes to our legal entity structure. In addition, as part of our overarching legal entity simplification program, the Group has developed a comprehensive EU entity strategy and is also defining a strategy to optimize the legal entity structure across regions, including expediting the closure of redundant entities. There are a number of uncertainties that may affect the feasibility, scope and timing of the intended results, including the outcome of the ongoing negotiations between the EU and the UK for a framework for regulatory cooperation on financial services and the operation of their unilateral and autonomous processes for recognizing each other's regulatory framework as equivalent. Finally, future significant legal and regulatory changes, including possible regulatory divergence between the EU and the UK, affecting us and our operations may require us to make further changes to our legal structure. The implementation of these changes has required, and may further require, the investment of significant time and resources and has increased, and may potentially further increase, operational, regulatory, compliance, capital, funding and tax costs as well as our counterparties' credit risk.

> Refer to "UK-EU relationship" in Regulation and supervision – Regulatory framework – EU and "Corporate Governance framework" in IV – Corporate Governance – Overview for further information.

The environment of political uncertainty in countries and regions in which we conduct business may also affect our business. The increased popularity of nationalist and protectionist sentiments, including implementation of trade barriers and restrictions on market access, may result in significant shifts in national policy and a decelerated path to further European integration. Similar uncertainties exist regarding the impact of supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, wage pressures, rising inflation, the ongoing conflict related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, any of which may be disruptive to global economic growth and may also negatively affect our business.

In the past, the low interest rate environment has adversely affected our net interest income and the value of our trading and non-trading fixed income portfolios, and resulted in a loss of customer deposits as well as an increase in the liabilities relating to our existing pension plans. Furthermore, while interest rates may remain relatively lower for a longer period of time, major central banks have begun increasing or signaling that they expect to

increase interest rates in response to rising inflation concerns. Future changes in interest rates, including increasing interest rates or changes in the current short-term interest rates in our home market, could adversely affect our businesses and results. In addition, movements in equity markets have affected the value of our trading and non-trading equity portfolios, while the historical strength of the Swiss franc has adversely affected our revenues and net income and exposed us to currency exchange rate risk. Further, diverging monetary policies among the major economies in which we operate, in particular among the Fed, ECB and SNB, may adversely affect our results.

Such adverse market or economic conditions may negatively impact our investment banking and wealth management businesses and adversely affect net revenues we receive from commissions and spreads. These conditions may result in lower investment banking client activity, adversely impacting our financial advisory and underwriting fees. Such conditions may also adversely affect the types and volumes of securities trades that we execute for customers. Cautious investor behavior in response to adverse conditions could result in generally decreased client demand for our products, which could negatively impact our results of operations and opportunities for growth. Unfavorable market and economic conditions have affected our businesses in the past, including the low interest rate environment, continued cautious investor behavior and changes in market structure. These negative factors could be reflected, for example, in lower commissions and fees from our client-flow sales and trading and asset management activities, including commissions and fees that are based on the value of our clients' portfolios.

Our response to adverse market or economic conditions may differ from that of our competitors and an investment performance that is below that of competitors or asset management benchmarks could also result in a decline in assets under management and related fees, making it harder to attract new clients. There could be a shift in client demand away from more complex products, which may result in significant client deleveraging, and our results of operations related to wealth management and asset management activities could be adversely affected. Adverse market or economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or Russia's invasion of Ukraine could exacerbate such effects.

In addition, several of our businesses engage in transactions with, or trade in obligations of, governmental entities, including supranational, national, state, provincial, municipal and local authorities. These activities can expose us to enhanced sovereign, credit-related, operational and reputational risks, which may also increase as a result of adverse market or economic conditions. Risks related to these transactions include the risks that a governmental entity may default on or restructure its obligations or may claim that actions taken by government officials were beyond the legal authority of those officials, which have in the past and may in the future adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse market or economic conditions could also affect our private equity investments. If a private equity investment substantially declines in value, we may not receive any increased share of the income and gains from such investment (to which we are entitled in certain cases when the return on such investment exceeds certain threshold returns), may be obligated to return to investors previously received excess carried interest payments and may lose our pro rata share of the capital invested. In addition, it could become more difficult to dispose of the investment, as even investments that are performing well may prove difficult to exit.

In addition to the macroeconomic factors discussed above, other political, social and environmental developments beyond our control, including terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, military conflicts, diplomatic tensions, including any escalation of tensions between China and Taiwan, economic or political sanctions, disease pandemics, war, political or civil unrest and widespread demonstrations, climate change, natural disasters, or infrastructure issues, such as transportation or power failures, could have a material adverse effect on economic and market conditions, market volatility and financial activity, with a potential related effect on our businesses and results. In addition, as geopolitical tensions rise, compliance with legal or regulatory obligations in one jurisdiction may be seen as supporting the law or policy objectives of that jurisdiction over another jurisdiction, creating additional risks for our business.

**Uncertainties regarding the discontinuation of benchmark rates may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and are requiring adjustments to our agreements with clients and other market participants, as well as to our systems and processes** 

In July 2017, the FCA, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it will no longer compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark after year-end 2021. Other IBORs may also be permanently discontinued or cease to be representative. As of January 1, 2022, all CHF, EUR, GBP and JPY LIBOR settings and the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings are no longer available on a representative basis. The remaining USD LIBOR settings will permanently cease to be provided by any administrator or will no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023, providing additional time to address the legacy contracts that reference such USD LIBOR settings. The FCA has also proposed to continue requiring the publication of synthetic USD LIBOR until September 30, 2024, potentially providing more time to remediate legacy contracts, although such proposal is yet to be confirmed. However, there is no certainty that the extended period of time to transition to ARRs is sufficient given how widely USD LIBOR is referenced. A number of initiatives have been developed to support the transition, such as the publication by ISDA of Supplement number 70 to the 2006 ISDA Definitions (IBOR Supplement) and the accompanying IBOR Protocol. Although these measures may help facilitate the derivatives markets' transition away from IBORs, our clients and other market

participants may not adhere to the IBOR Protocol or may not be otherwise willing to apply the provisions of the IBOR Supplement to relevant documentation. Furthermore, no similar multilateral mechanism exists to amend legacy loans or bonds, many of which must instead be amended individually, which may require the consent of multiple lenders or bondholders. As a consequence, there can be no assurance that market participants, including Credit Suisse, will be able to successfully modify all outstanding IBOR referencing contracts or otherwise be sufficiently prepared for the uncertainties resulting from cessation, potentially leading to disputes. Legislation has been proposed or enacted in a number of jurisdictions to address affected contracts without robust fallback provisions. For example, the United States has enacted the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2021 (LIBOR Act) providing for the replacement of USD LIBOR-based benchmarks in certain agreements by operation of law. However, the scope of this legislation is limited. In addition, it is uncertain whether, when and how other jurisdictions will enact similar legislation. Furthermore, the terms and scope of existing and future legislative solutions may be inconsistent and potentially overlapping.

Credit Suisse has identified a significant number of its liabilities and assets, including credit instruments such as credit agreements, loans and bonds, linked to IBORs across its businesses that require transition to ARRs. Aside from a small amount of legacy contracts that currently rely on synthetic LIBOR, Credit Suisse's legacy non-USD LIBOR portfolio has been remediated, either by active transition to ARRs, or by adding robust fallback provisions intended to govern the transition to ARRs upon the cessation of LIBORs. While Credit Suisse has a significant level of liabilities and assets linked to USD LIBOR, derivatives make up the majority of the legacy portfolio, and many of our derivative counterparts have already adhered to the IBOR Protocol. Further, under the final rules adopted by the Fed pursuant to the LIBOR Act, the "Fallback Rate (SOFR)" as defined in the IBOR Protocol will apply to derivative contracts governed by US law that reference overnight and one-, three-, six- and 12-month tenors of USD LIBOR and do not have suitable fallback provisions and provide permanent transition out of LIBOR. Non-US law contracts may benefit from the proposed "synthetic" (but time limited) USD LIBOR that the FCA is currently consulting on. The discontinuation of IBORs or future changes in the administration of benchmarks could result in adverse consequences to the return on, value of and market for securities, credit instruments and other instruments whose returns or contractual mechanics are linked to any such benchmark, including those issued and traded by the Group. For example, ARR-linked products may not provide a term structure and may calculate interest payments differently than benchmark-linked products, which could lead to greater uncertainty with respect to corresponding payment obligations. The transition to ARRs also raises concerns of liquidity risk, which may arise due to slow acceptance, take-up and development of liquidity in products that use ARRs, leading to market dislocation or fragmentation. It is also possible that such products will perform differently to IBOR products during times of economic stress, adverse or volatile market conditions and across the credit and economic cycle, which may impact the value, return on and profitability of our ARR-based assets. The transition to ARRs also requires a change in contractual terms of existing products currently linked to IBORs.

Further, the replacement of IBORs with an ARR in existing securities and other contracts, or in internal discounting models, could negatively impact the value of and return on such existing securities, credit instruments and other contracts and result in mispricing and additional legal, financial, tax, operational, market, compliance, reputational, competitive or other risks to us, our clients and other market participants. For example, we may face a risk of litigation, disputes or other actions from clients, counterparties, customers, investors or others regarding the interpretation or enforcement of related contractual provisions or if we fail to appropriately communicate the effect that the transition to ARRs will have on existing and future products. Further, litigation, disputes or other action may occur as a result of the interpretation or application of legislation, in particular, if there is an overlap between legislation introduced in different jurisdictions. In addition, the transition to ARRs requires changes to our documentation, methodologies, processes, controls, systems and operations, which has resulted and may continue to result in increased effort and cost. There may also be related risks that arise in connection with the transition. For example, our hedging strategy may be negatively impacted or market risk may increase in the event of different ARRs applying to our assets compared to our liabilities. In particular, our swaps and similar instruments that reference an IBOR and that are used to manage long-term interest rate risk related to our credit instruments could adopt different ARRs than the related credit instruments, resulting in potential basis risk and potentially making hedging our credit instruments more costly or less effective.

**We may incur significant losses in the real estate sector**

We finance and acquire principal positions in a number of real estate and real estate-related products, primarily for clients, and originate loans secured by commercial and residential properties. As of December 31, 2022, our real estate loans as reported to the SNB totaled approximately CHF 143.7 billion. We also securitize and trade in commercial and residential real estate and real estate-related whole loans, mortgages and other real estate and commercial assets and products, including CMBS and RMBS. Our real estate-related businesses and risk exposures could be adversely affected by any downturn in real estate markets, other sectors and the economy as a whole. Should these conditions persist or deteriorate, they could create additional risk for our commercial real estate-related businesses. In addition, the risk of potential price corrections in the real estate market in certain areas of Switzerland could have a material adverse effect on our real estate-related businesses.

**Holding large and concentrated positions can expose us to large losses**

Concentrations of risk can expose us to large losses given that we have provided or may in the future provide sizeable loans to, conduct sizeable transactions with and own securities holdings in certain customers, clients, counterparties, industries, countries or any pool of exposures with a common risk characteristic. Decreasing economic

growth in any sector in which we make significant commitments, for example, through underwriting, lending or advisory services, could also negatively affect our net revenues. In addition, a significant deterioration in the credit quality of one of our borrowers or counterparties could lead to concerns about the creditworthiness of other borrowers or counterparties in similar, related or dependent industries. This type of interrelationship could exacerbate our credit, liquidity and market risk exposure and potentially cause us to incur losses.

We have significant risk concentration in the financial services industry as a result of the large volume of transactions we routinely conduct with broker-dealers, banks, funds and other financial institutions, and in the ordinary conduct of our business, we can be subject to risk concentration with a particular counterparty. In addition, we, and other financial institutions, may pose systemic risk in a financial or credit crisis, and may be vulnerable to market sentiment and confidence, particularly during periods of severe economic stress. We, like other financial institutions, continue to adapt our practices and operations in consultation with our regulators to better address an evolving understanding of our exposure to, and management of, systemic risk and risk concentration to financial institutions. Regulators continue to focus on these risks, and there are numerous new regulations and government proposals, and significant ongoing regulatory uncertainty, about how best to address them. There can be no assurance that the changes in our industry, operations, practices and regulation will be effective in managing these risks.

> Refer to "Regulation and supervision" for further information.

Risk concentration can cause us to suffer losses even when economic and market conditions are generally favorable for others in our industry.

**Our hedging strategies may not prevent losses**

If any of the variety of instruments and strategies we use to hedge our exposure to various types of risk in our businesses is not effective, we can incur losses. We may be unable to purchase hedges or be only partially hedged, or our hedging strategies may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all market environments or against all types of risk.

**Market risk may increase the other risks that we face**

In addition to the potentially adverse effects on our businesses described above, market risk could exacerbate the other risks that we face. For example, if we were to incur substantial trading losses, our need for liquidity could rise sharply while our access to liquidity could be impaired. In conjunction with another market downturn, our customers and counterparties could also incur substantial losses of their own, thereby weakening their financial condition and increasing our credit and counterparty risk exposure to them.

**We may suffer significant losses from our credit exposures** 

Our businesses are subject to the fundamental risk that borrowers and other counterparties will be unable to perform their obligations. Our credit exposures exist across a wide range of transactions that we engage in with a large number of clients and counterparties, including lending relationships, commitments and letters of credit, as well as derivative, currency exchange and other transactions. Our exposure to credit risk can be exacerbated by adverse economic or market trends, as well as increased volatility in relevant markets or instruments. For example, adverse economic effects arising from rising inflation and recession risk, disruptions to economic activity, global supply chain issues and labor shortages, will likely continue to negatively impact the creditworthiness of certain counterparties and result in increased credit losses for our businesses. In addition, disruptions in the liquidity or transparency of the financial markets may result in our inability to sell, syndicate or realize the value of our positions, thereby leading to increased concentrations. Any inability to reduce these positions may not only increase the market and credit risks associated with such positions, but also increase the level of risk-weighted assets on our balance sheet, thereby increasing our capital requirements, all of which could adversely affect our businesses.

> Refer to "Credit risk" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management for information on management of credit risk.

Our regular review of the creditworthiness of clients and counterparties for credit losses does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment. Changes in creditworthiness of loans and loan commitments that are fair valued are reflected in trading revenues.

Our accounting standards generally require management to estimate lifetime current expected credit losses on Credit Suisse's credit exposure held at amortized cost, which may result in volatility in earnings and capital levels. Management's determination of the provision for credit losses and the related estimation and application of forward-looking information requires quantitative analysis and significant expert judgment. The Group's estimation of expected credit losses is based on a discounted probability-weighted estimate that considers macroeconomic scenarios. The scenarios are probability-weighted according to the Group's best estimate of their relative likelihood based on historical frequency, an assessment of the current business and credit cycles as well as the macroeconomic factor trends. Expected credit losses are not solely derived from macroeconomic factor projections. Model overlays based on expert judgment are also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews. Such overlays are designed to address circumstances where in management's judgment the CECL model outputs are overly sensitive to the effect of economic inputs that exhibit significant deviation from their long-term historical averages. Overlays may also be used to capture judgment on the economic uncertainty from global or regional developments with severe impacts on economies. We can suffer unexpected losses if the models and assumptions that are used to estimate our allowance for credit losses are not sufficient to address our credit losses.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies", "Note 9 – Provision for credit losses", "Note 19 – Loans" and "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

Under certain circumstances, we may assume long-term credit risk, extend credit against illiquid collateral and price derivative instruments aggressively based on the credit risks that we take. As a result of these risks, our capital and liquidity requirements may continue to increase.

**Defaults by one or more large financial institutions could adversely affect financial markets generally and us specifically**

Concerns, rumors about or an actual default by one institution could lead to significant liquidity problems, losses or defaults by other institutions because the commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely related as a result of credit, trading, clearing or other relationships between institutions. This risk is typically referred to as systemic risk. Concerns about defaults by and failures of many financial institutions could lead to material losses or defaults by financial institutions and financial intermediaries with which we interact on a daily basis, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and exchanges. Our credit risk exposure will also materially increase if the collateral we hold cannot be realized or can only be liquidated at prices insufficient to cover the full amount of the exposure.

**The information that we use to manage our credit risk may be inaccurate or incomplete**

Although we regularly review our credit exposure to specific clients and counterparties and to specific industries, countries and regions that we believe may present credit concerns, default risk may arise from events or circumstances that are difficult to foresee or detect, such as fraud. We may also lack correct and complete information with respect to the credit or trading risks of a counterparty or risk associated with specific industries, countries and regions or misinterpret such information that is received or otherwise incorrectly assess a given risk situation. Additionally, there can be no assurance that measures instituted to manage such risk will be effective in all instances.

Strategy risk

**We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the strategic initiatives we have announced** 

On October 27, 2022, we announced a comprehensive new strategic direction for the Group and significant changes to its structure and organization, including establishing a more capital-light Investment Bank, divesting non-core businesses and accelerating cost reduction. We have announced our objective to implement most of these measures by 2025.

Our goals, our strategy for implementing them, and the completion of these measures are based on a number of key assumptions, including in relation to the future economic environment and the economic growth of certain geographic regions, the regulatory landscape, our ability to meet certain financial goals, and the confidence of clients, counterparties, employees and other stakeholders, including regulatory authorities, in this strategy and in our ability to implement it. If any of these assumptions prove inaccurate in whole or in part, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives, including generating the intended structural cost savings, strengthening and reallocating our capital, reducing our RWA and leverage exposure in certain divisions, divesting non-core businesses, generating sustainable returns, and achieving our other targets and strategic goals. Furthermore, many of the factors that could affect these assumptions are beyond our control, including but not limited to market and economic conditions, changes in laws, rules or regulations, execution risk related to the implementation of our strategy and other challenges and risk factors discussed in this report, which could limit our ability to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of this strategy. A failure to reverse the outflows and to restore our assets under management and deposits following the developments in the fourth quarter of 2022 also could negatively affect our ability to achieve our strategic objectives, including as to our capital position. Our ability to implement our strategic initiatives also might be limited by restrictions on capital payments from subsidiaries as a result of regulatory, tax or other constraints. Our ability to achieve our objectives in connection with the reduction of RWA could also be dependent upon our obtaining certain relief from our regulators. The breadth of our strategic initiatives and goals also increases the challenges and risks of executing and implementing such initiatives. If we are unable to implement our strategy successfully in whole or in part, or should the strategic initiatives once implemented fail to produce the expected benefits, our financial results and our share price may be materially and adversely affected. Even if we are able to successfully implement our strategy, our proposed goals may increase our exposure to certain risks, including but not limited to credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks, operational risks and regulatory risks, and such risks may evolve in a way that is not under our control or entirely possible to predict.

> Refer to "Strategy" for further information on our strategic direction.

Our strategy involves a change in focus within certain areas of our business, including exiting certain businesses. For example, we have announced our intention to sell a significant part of the Securitized Products Group (SPG) and other related financing businesses and to carve out CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business. These changes may have negative effects in these and other areas of our business and may result in an adverse effect on our business as a whole.

Moreover, any reputational harm resulting from prior events or from reactions to our strategic initiatives may make it more difficult to implement those strategic initiatives or achieve the related targets and objectives.

> Refer to "Significant negative consequences of the Archegos and supply chain finance funds matters" for further information.

We anticipate that revenues and income for the Investment Bank will be materially reduced by the planned disposal of the majority of SPG's assets, as well as by the targeted reduction in capital for the Investment Bank. Our ability to attract and retain clients also may be adversely affected by these changes. The capital-light Investment Bank may also face increased competition in areas such as leveraged finance and underwriting, particularly from competitors that have access to larger amounts of capital. In addition, the new structure of the Investment Bank may pose challenges for the division to build upon other businesses and relationships of the Group and may limit the division's ability to deliver cross-selling opportunities to other Group businesses.

Market conditions, the ability to attract potential purchasers, regulatory approvals and consents, and other similar uncertainties may also affect our ability to dispose of assets, achieve favorable prices or terms for these disposals, or complete any announced but not yet completed disposals, which may lead us to dispose of assets at a loss, at a higher than expected loss, hold these assets for a longer period of time than desired or planned, or fail to dispose of assets at all. A significant element of our strategic plans is to transfer a majority of SPG's assets, including the sale of a significant portion of SPG to certain entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management. This transaction involves phased closings through the first half of 2023, subject to regulatory approvals, customer consents and other customary closing conditions. If we are unable to dispose of these assets as proposed or announced, including the contemplated sale of other portfolio assets to third-party investors, we may not be able to reduce our RWAs and leverage exposure according to plan or achieve the capital targets set out in our strategy.

In addition, we anticipate these disposals and changes to the Group may result in further impairments and write-downs, including in relation to goodwill and the revaluation of our deferred tax assets, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These changes may also lead to further impairments of the capital effective component of the values of Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company)'s participations in certain of its subsidiaries, which would negatively impact its Swiss CET1 ratio.

Our strategy also includes certain financial goals and targets. Our ability to achieve these targets is based on a number of macro-economic factors and underlying business assumptions, such as a higher interest rate environment and our ability to hold and attract client assets at levels and rates similar to those in the past. For example, a period of stagflation may have negative effects on our ability to achieve our financial goals and targets. Furthermore, we do not expect geopolitical risks to escalate significantly. Deviations from any of these assumptions would impact our ability to achieve our financial goals and targets.

We are also seeking to achieve significant cost savings as part of our plan. We are targeting to reduce our costs based on the assumption that, in addition to specific strategic business exit and curtailment activities that account for a significant proportion of the intended cost savings, more savings can be achieved through efficiency measures. Implementing these measures will entail the incurrence of significant restructuring expenses, including software and real estate impairments, estimated to be approximately CHF 2.9 billion through the end of 2024, although they could exceed this level. These measures include de-scoping of business and internal footprint, organizational effectiveness and simplification, workforce management and third-party cost management. For example, we expect to run the bank with ~43,000 full-time-equivalent employees by the end of 2025 compared to ~52,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2022, reflecting natural attrition and targeted headcount reductions. Furthermore, we have identified short-term actions to set the right trajectory to meet our cost ambitions. These include a 30% reduction in contractor spend and a 50% reduction in consultancy spend in 2023. Our ability to achieve these cost savings is dependent on the execution of these measures on time and to their full extent. There is also a risk that these measures impact the revenue generation capabilities of the business beyond what has been taken into account currently for the strategic business curtailment activities. In addition, our planned exit from certain businesses and disposals of certain assets may entail higher costs or take more time than anticipated, or it may take longer than anticipated to reduce associated costs from activities we have exited, and accordingly this may impact our ability to achieve our targeted cost savings. Furthermore, additional costs could arise from any number of anticipated or unanticipated developments, such as costs relating to compliance with additional regulatory requirements and increased regulatory charges. Across all our businesses, we need to attract and retain highly qualified employees. The anticipated changes in the Group as part of our strategic initiatives may negatively impact our ability to hire and retain highly qualified employees, including due to any changes or reductions in compensation. In addition, our employee attrition has been higher over the last year, as noted above. If we are unable to attract and/or retain highly qualified employees across our businesses, this may have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our strategy.

In addition, as part of our overarching legal entity simplification program, we are further reviewing our legal entity footprint in light of our strategic changes. The development of a strategy to optimize the legal entity structure across regions, taking into account the comprehensive strategic review, includes expediting the closure of redundant entities. There are a number of uncertainties that may affect the feasibility, scope and timing of the intended results, including macroeconomic factors as well as significant legal and regulatory considerations.

Country and currency exchange risk

**Country risks may increase market and credit risks we face**

Country, regional and political risks are components of market and credit risk. Financial markets and economic conditions generally have been and may in the future be materially affected by such risks. Economic or political pressures in a country or region, including those arising from local market disruptions, currency crises, monetary controls or other factors such as geopolitical issues, may adversely affect the ability of clients or counterparties located in that country or region to obtain foreign currency or credit and, therefore, to perform their obligations to us, which in turn may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

**We may face significant losses in emerging markets**

An element of our strategy is to increase our wealth management businesses in emerging market countries. Our implementation of this strategy will increase our existing exposure to economic instability in those countries. We monitor these risks and seek diversity in the sectors in which we invest. Our efforts at limiting emerging market risk, however, may not always succeed. In addition, various emerging market countries have experienced and

may continue to experience severe economic, financial and political disruptions or slower economic growth than in previous years, including significant devaluations of their currencies, defaults or threatened defaults on sovereign debt and capital and currency exchange controls. In addition, sanctions have been imposed on certain individuals and companies in these markets that prohibit or restrict dealings with them and certain related entities or activities and further sanctions are possible. The possible effects of any such disruptions may include an adverse impact on our businesses and increased volatility in financial markets generally.

**C**urrency fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations**

We are exposed to risk from fluctuations in exchange rates for currencies, particularly the US dollar. In particular, a substantial portion of our assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the Swiss franc, which is the primary currency of our financial reporting. Our capital is also stated in Swiss francs, and we do not fully hedge our capital position against changes in currency exchange rates. The Swiss franc remained strong in 2022.

As we incur a significant part of our expenses in Swiss francs while we generate a large proportion of our revenues in other currencies, our earnings are sensitive to changes in the exchange rates between the Swiss franc and other major currencies. Although we have implemented a number of measures designed to offset the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our results of operations, the appreciation of the Swiss franc in particular and exchange rate volatility in general have had an adverse impact on our results of operations and capital position in recent years and may continue to have an adverse effect in the future.

Operational, risk management and estimation risks

**We may suffer operational system failures or disruptions, including due to human or technological error, which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and reputation**

Our business is highly dependent on the effectiveness of our operational systems and those of our clients, partners and counterparties. We continue to be exposed to operational risk arising from errors made in the execution, confirmation or settlement of transactions or from transactions not being properly recorded or accounted for, whether by us or by third parties on which we rely. Operational system failures or disruptions can be unpredictable and may arise from different sources, including sources out of our control. In addition, certain errors may not always be immediately identified by our technological processes or by our controls and other procedures, which are meant to detect and prevent such errors. Even if such errors are immediately identified and addressed, they could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

**We are exposed to a wide variety of data breach, cybersecurity and other information technology risks**

In recent years and in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to be an increasingly attractive target for cyber threat actors due in large part to the highly valuable critical data processed by financial services institutions, leading to heightened cybersecurity and information technology risks, including risks of cyber attacks and other hacking incidents. As a global financial services company, we rely heavily on our financial, accounting and other data processing systems, which are varied and complex, and we have faced and may continue to face additional technology risks due to the global nature of our operations and reliance on cloud technologies. For example, our business depends on our ability to process a large volume of diverse and complex transactions within a short space of time, including derivatives transactions, which have increased in volume and complexity. In general, although we have incident response and business continuity plans, our businesses continue to face a wide variety of operational risks, including technology risk that stems from dependencies on information technology, third-party suppliers and the telecommunications infrastructure as well as from the interconnectivity of multiple financial institutions with central agents, exchanges and clearing houses. We may rely on automation, robotic processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for certain operations, and this reliance may increase in the future with corresponding advancements in technology, which could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks. In addition to such information technology risks and an increased risk of cyber attacks, we may also face heightened risks associated with a lesser degree of data and intellectual property protection in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, even if we take all reasonable precautions, including to the extent required by law. Regulatory requirements in these areas continue to increase and are expected to increase further, including potential regulatory requirements to disclose information about a material cybersecurity incident even prior to a full investigation or resolution of the matter. Evolving regulations may vary and potentially conflict across different jurisdictions.

Information security, data confidentiality and integrity are of critical importance to our businesses, and there has been recent regulatory scrutiny on the ability of companies to safeguard the nonpublic or personal information of individuals in accordance with data protection regulation, including the European General Data Protection Regulation, US data protection laws such as the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. Governmental authorities, including foreign, federal and state data protection agencies, employees, individual customers or business partners may initiate proceedings against us as a result of security breaches affecting the confidentiality or integrity of nonpublic or personal information, as well as the failure, or perceived failure, to comply with data protection regulations. The adequate monitoring of operational risks and adherence to data protection regulations have also come under increased regulatory scrutiny. Any failure by Credit Suisse to adequately ensure the security of data and to address the increased technology-related operational risks could also lead to regulatory sanctions or investigations and a loss of trust in our systems, which may adversely affect our reputation, business and operations.

> Refer to "Regulatory framework – Switzerland – Cybersecurity", "Regulatory framework – US – Data protection and cybersecurity" and "Regulatory framework – Global initiatives – Data protection regulation" in Regulation and supervision for further information.

Threats to our cybersecurity and data protection systems require us to dedicate significant financial and human resources to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and information. Despite our wide range of security measures, it is not always possible to anticipate the evolving threat landscape and mitigate all risks to our systems and information. These threats may derive from human error, misconduct (including errors in judgment, fraud or malice and/or engaging in violations of applicable laws, rules, policies or procedures), or may result from accidental technological failure. There may also be attempts to fraudulently induce employees, clients, third parties or other users of our systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our data or that of our clients. Additionally, because we share information with third party vendors and service providers to conduct our business, we could also be affected by risks to the systems and information of such third parties, particularly where such third party fails to implement adequate data-security practices, to comply with our information-sharing terms and policies or otherwise suffers a network or other security breach. In addition, hardware, software or applications we procure from third parties may contain security vulnerabilities, defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. For example, the increasing trend of remote working discussed further below may require our employees to use third party technology, which may not provide the same level of information security as our own information systems. Additionally, risks relating to cyber attacks on our vendors and other third parties have continued to increase due to more frequent and severe supply chain attacks impacting software and information technology service providers, which may be further exacerbated in light of the ongoing conflict related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Security breaches may involve substantial remediation costs, affect our ability to carry out our businesses or impair the trust of our clients or potential clients, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. In addition, we may introduce new products or services or change processes, resulting in new operational risks that we may not fully appreciate or identify.

The shift to remote working for our employees increases the vulnerability of our information technology systems and the likelihood of damage as a result of a cybersecurity incident. For example, the use of remote devices to access the firm's networks could impact our ability to quickly detect and mitigate security threats and human errors as they arise. Additionally, it is more challenging to ensure the comprehensive roll-out of system security updates and we also have less visibility over the physical security of our devices and systems. Due to the evolving nature of cybersecurity risks and our reduced visibility and control in light of remote working, our efforts to provide appropriate policies and security measures may prove insufficient to mitigate all cybersecurity and data protection threats.

Cybersecurity risks have also significantly increased in recent years in part due to the growing number and increasingly sophisticated activities of malicious cyber actors, including organized crime groups, state-sponsored actors, terrorist organizations, extremist parties and hackers. Although we have developed reasonable systems and processes designed to protect the nonpublic and/or personal information of our clients and other third parties from data loss or other security breaches or incidents, our security measures have not always fully protected against such matters in the past. We and other financial institutions have suffered and may continue to suffer cyber attacks, ransomware attacks, information or security breaches, personal data breaches, losses or misappropriations and other forms of attacks, incidents and failures, including those involving disgruntled employees, activists and other third parties, such as those engaged in corporate espionage. For example, in March 2021, we became aware that a former employee had improperly exfiltrated from Credit Suisse certain records relating to certain Group employees and suppliers, including HR-related information and bank account numbers used to make payments, while employed by the Group several years ago when he emailed certain of the data to a limited number of recipients that included regulators, media outlets and ex-employees. After lengthy and still ongoing legal proceedings, it was only at the end of 2022 that we learned the full extent of the scope of this improper exfiltration. We have conducted a forensic review and believe that the incident has been contained. Relevant notifications have been made as appropriate to regulators, data protection authorities and individual data subjects.

We expect to continue to be the target of such attacks in the future, and we may experience other forms of cybersecurity or data protection incidents or failures in the future, including with respect to damages from computer viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs or other attacks, covert introduction of malware to computers and networks, unauthorized access, including impersonation of unauthorized users, efforts to discover and exploit any security vulnerabilities or security weaknesses, and other similar disruptions. In the event of a cyber attack, information or security breach, personal data breach or technology failure, we have experienced and may in the future experience operational issues, the infiltration of payment systems or the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of confidential, proprietary and other information relating to Credit Suisse, our clients, employees, vendors, service providers, counterparties or other third parties. Emerging technologies, including the increasing use of automation, AI and robotics, as well as the broad utilization of third-party financial data aggregators, could further increase our cybersecurity risk and exposure.

Given our global footprint and the high volume of transactions we process, the large number of clients, partners and counterparties with which we do business, our and our clients' growing use of digital, mobile, cloud- and internet-based services and platforms, and the increasing frequency, sophistication and evolving nature of cyber attacks, a cyber attack, information or security breach, personal data breach or technology failure may occur, whether on our systems or that of a third party, without detection for an extended

period of time. In addition, we expect that any investigation of a cyber attack, information or security breach, personal data breach or technology failure will be inherently unpredictable and it may take time before any investigation is complete. These factors may inhibit our ability to provide timely, accurate and complete information about the event to our clients, employees, regulators, other stakeholders and the public. During such time, we may not know the extent of the harm or how best to remediate it and certain errors or actions may be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and rectified, all or any of which would further increase the costs and consequences of a cyber attack, information or security breach, personal data breach or technology failure.

If any of our systems, or the systems of third parties on which we rely, do not operate properly or are compromised as a result of cyber attacks, information or security breaches, personal data breaches, technology failures, unauthorized access, loss or destruction of data, unavailability of service, computer viruses or other events that could have an adverse security impact, we could, among other things, be subject to litigation or suffer financial loss not covered by insurance, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our clients, employees, counterparties or other third parties, damage to relationships with our vendors or service providers, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. Any such event could also require us to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures. We may also be required to expend resources to comply with new and increasingly expansive regulatory requirements related to cybersecurity.

**We may suffer losses due to employee misconduct**

Our businesses are exposed to risk from potential non-compliance with policies or regulations, employee misconduct or negligence and fraud, which could result in civil, regulatory or criminal investigations, litigations and charges, regulatory sanctions and serious reputational or financial harm. In recent years, a number of multinational financial institutions have suffered material losses due to, for example, the actions of traders executing unauthorized trades or other employee misconduct. It is not always possible to deter or fully prevent employee misconduct and the precautions we take to prevent and detect this activity have not always been, and may not always be, fully effective.

**Our risk management procedures and policies may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of risk, which can result in unexpected, material losses in the future**

We seek to monitor and control our risk exposure through a broad and diversified set of risk management policies and procedures as well as hedging strategies, including the use of models in analyzing and monitoring the various risks we assume in conducting our activities. These risk management strategies, techniques, models, procedures and policies, however, may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposure in all economic market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that we fail to identify, anticipate or mitigate, in whole or in part, which may result in unexpected, material losses.

Some of our quantitative tools and metrics for managing risk, including value-at-risk and economic risk capital, are based upon our use of observed historical market behavior. Our risk management tools and metrics may fail to predict important risk exposures. In addition, our quantitative modeling does not take all risks into account and makes numerous assumptions and judgments regarding the overall environment, and therefore cannot anticipate every market development or event or the specifics and timing of such outcomes. As a result, risk exposures could arise from factors we did not anticipate or correctly evaluate in our statistical models. This could limit our ability to manage our risks, and in these and other cases, it can also be difficult to reduce our risk positions due to the activity of other market participants or widespread market dislocations. As a result, our losses may be significantly greater than what the historical measures may indicate.

In addition, inadequacies or lapses in our risk management procedures and policies can expose us to unexpected losses, and our financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. For example, in respect of the Archegos matter, the independent report found, among other things, a failure to effectively manage risk in the Investment Bank's prime services business by both the first and second lines of defense as well as a lack of risk escalation. Such inadequacies or lapses can require significant resources and time to remediate, lead to non-compliance with laws, rules and regulations, attract heightened regulatory scrutiny, expose us to regulatory investigations or legal proceedings and subject us to litigation or regulatory fines, penalties or other sanctions, or capital surcharges or add-ons. In addition, such inadequacies or lapses can expose us to reputational damage. If existing or potential customers, clients or counterparties believe our risk management is inadequate, they could take their business elsewhere or seek to limit their transactions with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

**We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and 2021**

We are subject to requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, to perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to assess the effectiveness of our internal controls. Management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as a result of which management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Group's internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and for the same reasons, management has reassessed and has reached the same conclusion regarding December 31, 2021, as more fully described in this Annual Report. Management has also accordingly concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

The material weaknesses that have been identified relate to the failure to design and maintain an effective risk assessment

process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements and the failure to design and maintain effective monitoring activities relating to (i) providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the Group's internal control objectives; (ii) involving appropriate and sufficient management resources to support the risk assessment and monitoring objectives; and (iii) assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. These material weaknesses contributed to an additional material weakness, as management did not design and maintain effective controls over the classification and presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. This material weakness resulted in the revisions contained in our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2021 as disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, we confirm that our consolidated financial statements as included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with US GAAP. Management is developing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses referred to above, including strengthening the risk and control frameworks, and which will build on the significant attention that management has devoted to controls to date. While we are taking steps to address these material weaknesses, which could require us to expend significant resources to correct the material weaknesses or deficiencies, any gaps or deficiencies in our internal control over financing reporting may result in us being unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and/or incorrectly reporting financial information, which could reduce confidence in our published information, impact access to capital markets, impact the trading price of our securities or subject us to potential regulatory investigations and sanctions. In addition, there can be no assurance that these measures will remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

**Our actual results may differ from our estimates and valuations**

We make estimates and valuations that affect our reported results, including determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, establishing provisions for contingencies and losses for loans, litigation and regulatory proceedings, accounting for goodwill and intangible asset impairments, evaluating our ability to realize deferred tax assets, valuing equity-based compensation awards, modeling our risk exposure and calculating expenses and liabilities associated with our pension plans. These estimates are based on judgment and available information, and our actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

> Refer to "Critical accounting estimates" in II – Operating and financial review and "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for information on these estimates and valuations.

Our estimates and valuations rely on models and processes to predict economic conditions and market or other events that might affect the ability of counterparties to perform their obligations to us or impact the value of assets. To the extent our models and processes become less predictive due to unforeseen market conditions, illiquidity or volatility, our ability to make accurate estimates and valuations could be adversely affected.

**Our accounting treatment of off-balance sheet entities may change**

We enter into transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs) in our normal course of business, and certain SPEs with which we transact and conduct business are not consolidated and their assets and liabilities are off-balance sheet. We may have to exercise significant management judgment in applying relevant accounting consolidation standards, either initially or after the occurrence of certain events that may require us to reassess whether consolidation is required. If we are required to consolidate an SPE, its assets and liabilities would be recorded on our consolidated balance sheets and we would recognize related gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, and this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and capital and leverage ratios.

> Refer to "Off-balance sheet" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Balance sheet and off-balance sheet for information on our transactions with and commitments to SPEs.

**We are exposed to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks, including climate change, which could adversely affect our business operations, reputation, clients and customers, as well as the creditworthiness of our counterparties**

We operate in many regions, countries and communities around the world where our businesses, and the activities of our clients, could be impacted by climate change and broader ESG-related issues. These issues pose both short- and long-term risks to us and our clients. Climate change could expose us to financial risk either through its physical (e.g., climate or weather-related events) or transition (e.g., changes in climate policy or in the regulation of financial institutions with respect to climate change risks) effects. Transition risks could be further accelerated by the increasingly frequent occurrence of changes in the physical climate, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires and extreme temperatures.

Physical and transition climate risks could have a financial impact on us either directly, through our physical assets, costs and operations, or indirectly, through our financial relationships with our clients. These risks are varied and include, but are not limited to, the risk of declines in values and/or liquidity of assets, including in connection with our real estate investments, credit risk associated with loans and other credit exposures to our clients, business risk, including loss of revenues associated with reducing exposure to traditional business with clients that do not have a credible

transition plan, decreased assets under management if such clients decide to move assets away, increased defaults and reallocation of capital as a result of changes in global policies, and regulatory risk, including ongoing legislative and regulatory uncertainties and changes regarding climate risk management and best practices. Additionally, the risk of reduced availability of insurance, operational risk related to Credit Suisse-owned buildings and infrastructure, the risk of significant or prolonged interruptions to business operations, as well as the need to make changes in response to those consequences are further examples of climate-related risks.

We have set for ourselves the ambition of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 in line with a 1.5°C trajectory across our lending and investment portfolios, as well as our own operations and supply chain. Based on our commitment to develop interim 2030 science-based goals for key sectors, in 2022 we set goals and outlined initial progress for additional sectors, besides oil, gas & coal. In March 2022, Credit Suisse Asset Management also joined the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAMi), and in December 2022, Credit Suisse Asset Management and Investment Solutions & Sustainability, or IS&S, within Credit Suisse Wealth Management disclosed their joint Climate Action Plan, setting a 2030 interim goal of a 50% reduction in investment-associated emissions in intensity terms versus 2019. In addition, with respect to our ambition for our supply chain to achieve net zero emissions, while we are actively engaging with our strategic suppliers to align on emissions data collection as well as target plans and opportunities for reduction, there can be no assurance that these suppliers will address climate risks responsibly, including because they may not have a credible transition plan or be able to implement it within the timeframe we have set for our own objectives. In order to reach these ambitions and goals or any other related aspirations we may set from time to time, we will need to incorporate climate considerations into our business strategy, products and services, as well as our financial and non-financial risk management processes, and hire and train employees with the skills and qualifications to help us achieve our ambitions and goals, and we may incur significant cost and effort in doing so. At the same time, data relating to ESG, including climate change, may be limited in availability and variable in quality and consistency, and methodologies and capabilities for modeling and analyzing climate-related risks remain in the development stages, which may limit our ability to perform robust climate-related risk and other sustainability risk analyses and realize our ambitions and goals.

Further, national and international standards, industry and scientific knowledge and practices, regulatory requirements and market expectations regarding ESG initiatives are under continuous development, may rapidly change and are subject to different interpretations. Although we have adopted our ESG strategy based upon what we believe are current criteria, there can be no assurance that such standards, knowledge, practices, regulatory requirements and market expectations will not be interpreted differently than our interpretation when setting our related goals and ambitions, or change in a manner that substantially increases the cost or effort for us to achieve such goals and ambitions, or requires us to adjust our goals and ambitions or that our goals and ambitions may prove to be considerably more difficult or even impossible to achieve. This may be exacerbated if we choose or are required to accelerate our goals and ambitions or change our approach based on national or international regulatory developments, stakeholder expectations or business trends, including as they may change over time. Furthermore, as an individual financial institution, our ability to influence the direction of or approach to ESG issues is limited, and the achievement of our goals and ambitions is highly dependent on the collective effort and actions of governments, other corporations, individuals, nonprofit organizations and other stakeholders. Achievement of ESG-related goals and initiatives is also dependent on technological advancements and other concurrent actions and efforts by external parties and other actors that are outside of our control. Our ability to make progress on our goals and ambitions may be further impacted by external factors outside of our control, including geopolitical matters, energy security issues or considerations such as a just transition to a lower-carbon economy and society.

Given the growing volume of nascent climate and sustainability-related laws, rules and regulations, increasing demand from various stakeholders for environmentally sustainable products and services and regulatory scrutiny, we and other financial institutions may also be subject to increasing litigation, enforcement and contract liability risks in connection with climate change, environmental degradation and other ESG-related issues. For example, the issue of climate risk at financial institutions has received sharpened focus from regulators and other governmental authorities, as evidenced by proposed rules related to disclosure and management of climate-related risks put forth by various regulatory bodies, including in the US, EU, Switzerland and Asia Pacific. In addition, the public holds diverse and often conflicting views on ESG-related issues, and our reputation and client relationships may be damaged by our or our clients' involvement in certain business activities associated with climate change and other ESG-related issues or as a result of negative public sentiment, regulatory scrutiny or reduced investor and stakeholder confidence due to our response to climate change and our climate strategy. For example, the integration of climate risk considerations into our business risk analysis has been subjected to particular scrutiny by external stakeholders in 2022, as we saw polarized views emerging across the globe. While some government agencies may accuse Credit Suisse and other financial institutions of boycotting the energy sector, other stakeholders have been asking us to introduce stricter sector policies and further limit our lending activities in climate sensitive and carbon related sectors. Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected if national, state or local governments take steps to discourage financial institutions from doing business with companies in certain industries or, conversely, penalize them if they do not do business with such companies.

Beyond climate impacts, we may also be impacted by human rights risks, including discrimination, particularly with respect to our employees and our clients, as well as modern slavery in our supply chains and those of our clients. Our employees, business and reputation may be negatively impacted by a failure to adequately manage these risks, which failure may result in challenges related to hiring and retention of employees. Moreover, any existing global tensions with respect to human rights, such as between the US and China,

may be exacerbated for Credit Suisse, given our global reach and presence in various markets around the world.

If we fail to appropriately measure and manage the various risks we face as a result of climate change and other ESG-related issues, fail or are perceived by stakeholders to have failed to prioritize the "correct" ESG-related goals, fail to achieve the goals and ambitions we have set (or can only do so at a significant expense to our business), or fail to adapt our strategy and business model to the changing regulatory requirements and market expectations, our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, including, with respect to climate-related risks, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and severity of climate change impacts.

> Refer to "Climate-related risks" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet - Risk management – Risk coverage and management for further information on our risk management procedures relating to climate change.

Legal, regulatory and reputational risks

**Our exposure to legal liability is significant**

We face significant legal risks in our businesses, and the volume and amount of damages claimed in litigation, regulatory proceedings and other adversarial proceedings against financial services firms continue to increase in many of the principal markets in which we operate.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to a number of material legal proceedings, regulatory actions and investigations, and an adverse result in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, on our results for such period.

> Refer to "Note 40 – Litigation" in VI– Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for information relating to these and other legal and regulatory proceedings involving our investment banking and other businesses.

It is inherently difficult to predict the outcome of many of the legal, regulatory and other adversarial proceedings involving our businesses, particularly those cases in which the matters are brought on behalf of various classes of claimants, seek damages of unspecified or indeterminate amounts or involve novel legal claims. Management is required to establish, increase or release reserves for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable in connection with these matters, all of which requires the application of significant judgment and discretion.

> Refer to "Critical accounting estimates" in II – Operating and financial review and "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Our business is highly regulated, and existing, new or changed laws, rules and regulations may adversely affect our business and ability to execute our strategic plans**

In many areas of our business, we are subject to extensive laws, rules and regulations by governments, governmental agencies, supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations in Switzerland, the EU, the UK, the US and other jurisdictions in which we operate, including an evolving and complex set of sanctions regimes. We have in the past faced, and expect to continue to face, increasingly extensive and complex laws, rules, regulations and regulatory scrutiny and possible enforcement actions. In recent years, costs related to our compliance with these requirements and the penalties and fines sought and imposed on the financial services industry by regulatory authorities have increased significantly. We expect such increased regulation and enforcement to continue to increase our costs, including, but not limited to, costs related to compliance, systems and operations, and to negatively affect our ability to conduct certain types of business. These increased costs and negative impacts on our business could adversely affect our profitability and competitive position. These laws, rules and regulations often serve to limit our activities, including through the application of increased or enhanced capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, the implementation of additional capital surcharges for risks related to operational, litigation, regulatory and similar matters, customer protection and market conduct regulations, anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, rules and regulations, compliance with evolving ESG standards and requirements and direct or indirect restrictions on the businesses in which we may operate or invest. Such limitations can have a negative effect on our business and our ability to implement strategic initiatives. To the extent we are required to divest certain businesses, we could incur losses, as we may be forced to sell such businesses at a discount, which in certain instances could be substantial, as a result of both the constrained timing of such sales and the possibility that other financial institutions are liquidating similar investments at the same time.

Since 2008, regulators and governments have focused on the reform of the financial services industry, including enhanced capital, leverage and liquidity requirements, changes in compensation practices (including tax levies) and measures to address systemic risk, including ring-fencing certain activities and operations within specific legal entities. These regulations and requirements could require us to reduce assets held in certain subsidiaries or inject capital or other funds into or otherwise change our operations or the structure of our subsidiaries and the Group. Differences in the details and implementation of such regulations may further negatively affect us, as certain requirements are currently not expected to apply equally to all of our competitors or to be implemented uniformly across jurisdictions.

Moreover, as a number of these requirements are currently being finalized and implemented, their regulatory impact may further increase in the future and their ultimate impact cannot be predicted at this time. For example, the Basel III reforms are still being finalized and implemented and/or phased in, as applicable. The additional requirements related to minimum regulatory capital, leverage ratios and liquidity measures imposed by Basel III, as implemented in Switzerland, together with more stringent requirements imposed by the Swiss legislation and their application by FINMA, and the related implementing ordinances and actions by our regulators, have contributed to our decision to reduce risk-weighted assets and the size of our balance sheet, and could potentially affect our business, impact our access to capital markets and increase our funding costs. In addition, various reforms in the US, including the "Volcker Rule" and

derivatives regulation, have imposed, and will continue to impose, new regulatory duties on certain of our operations. These requirements have contributed to our decision to exit certain businesses (including a number of our private equity businesses) and may lead us to exit other businesses. Recent CFTC, SEC and Fed rules and proposals have materially increased, or could in the future materially increase, the operating costs, including margin requirements, compliance, information technology and related costs, associated with our derivatives businesses with US persons, while at the same time making it more difficult for us to operate a derivatives business outside the US. Further, in 2014, the Fed adopted a final rule under the Dodd-Frank Act that introduced a new framework for regulation of the US operations of foreign banking organizations such as ours. Implementation is expected to continue to result in us incurring additional costs and to affect the way we conduct our business in the US, including through our US IHC. Further, current and possible future cross-border tax regulation with extraterritorial effect, such as FATCA, the OECD global minimum tax rate levels and rules (Pillar Two) and other bilateral or multilateral tax treaties and agreements on the automatic exchange of information in tax matters, impose detailed reporting obligations and increased compliance and systems-related costs on our businesses, and, as concerns the Pillar Two system of global minimum tax, may affect our tax rate. In addition, the US tax reform enacted on December 22, 2017 introduced substantial changes to the US tax system, including the lowering of the corporate tax rate and the introduction of the US base erosion and anti-abuse tax. The IRA of 2022 made significant changes to US tax law, including the introduction of a corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on certain domestic corporations and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by certain domestic corporations. Additionally, implementation of regulations such as the Capital Requirements Directive V (CRD V) in the EU, FinSA in Switzerland, and other reforms may negatively affect our business activities. Whether or not the FinSA, together with supporting or implementing ordinances and regulations, will be deemed equivalent to MiFID II currently remains uncertain. Swiss banks, including us, may accordingly be limited from participating in certain businesses regulated by MiFID II. Finally, we expect that TLAC requirements, currently in force in Switzerland, the US and in the UK, as well as in the EU, and which are being finalized in many other jurisdictions, as well as new requirements and rules with respect to the internal total loss-absorbing capacity (iTLAC) of G-SIBs and their operating entities, may increase our cost of funding and restrict our ability to deploy capital and liquidity on a global basis as needed once the TLAC and iTLAC requirements are implemented across all relevant jurisdictions.

We are subject to economic sanctions laws and regulatory requirements of various countries. These laws and regulatory requirements generally prohibit or restrict transactions involving certain countries/territories and parties. Our costs of monitoring and complying with frequent, complex and potentially conflicting changes to applicable economic sanctions laws and regulatory requirements have increased and there is an increased risk that we may not identify and stop prohibited or sanctionable activities before they occur or that we may otherwise fail to comply with economic sanctions laws and regulatory requirements. Any conduct targeted by or in violation of a sanctions program could subject us to significant civil and potentially criminal penalties or other adverse consequences.

> Refer to "Sanctions developments" in Regulation and supervision – Recent regulatory developments and proposals – Global initiatives for further information.

We expect the financial services industry and its members, including us, to continue to be affected by the significant uncertainty over the scope and content of regulatory reform in 2023 and beyond, in particular, uncertainty in relation to the future US regulatory agenda, which includes a variety of proposals to change existing regulations or the approach to regulation of the financial industry as well as potential new tax policy and potential changes in regulation following the UK's withdrawal from the EU and the results of European national elections. In addition, we face regulatory and legislative uncertainty in the US and other jurisdictions with respect to climate change and other ESG-related issues, including with respect to any new or changing disclosure requirements, and with respect to data protection and security, including various new and changing regulations addressing the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure, disposal and protection of certain types of data, as well as cybersecurity. Changes in laws, rules or regulations, or in their interpretation or enforcement, or the implementation of new laws, rules or regulations, may adversely affect our results of operations, including in ways that may require us to modify our internal policies and practices and incur substantial compliance-related costs and expenses that are likely to increase over time.

> Refer to "Regulation and supervision" for further information on related regulations.

Despite our best efforts to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, a number of risks remain, including in areas where applicable laws, rules or regulations may be unclear or inconsistent across jurisdictions, where they are enacted with extra-territorial impact or where our global operations mean we are obliged to give effect to local laws and regulations on a wider basis or where governments, regulators or international bodies, organizations or unions revise their previous guidance or courts overturn previous rulings. Additionally, authorities in many jurisdictions have the power to bring administrative or judicial proceedings against us, which could result in, among other things, suspension or revocation of our licenses, cease and desist orders, fines, civil penalties, criminal penalties, deferred prosecution agreements or other disciplinary action. Such matters have in the past and could in the future materially adversely affect our results of operations and seriously harm our reputation.

> Refer to "Regulation and supervision" for a description of our regulatory regime and a summary of some of the significant regulatory and government reform proposals affecting the financial services industry as well as to "Liquidity and funding management" and "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for information regarding our current regulatory framework and expected changes to this framework affecting capital and liquidity standards.

**Damage to our reputation can significantly harm our businesses, including our competitive position and business prospects**

We suffered reputational harm as a result of the Archegos and SCFF matters and may suffer further reputational harm in the future as a result of these matters or other events. We also suffered reputational harm as a result of the significant negative outflows of deposits and assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022. Our ability to attract and retain customers, clients, investors and employees, and conduct business transactions with our counterparties, can be adversely affected to the extent our reputation is damaged. Harm to our reputation can arise from various sources, including failures or apparent failures in our procedures and controls to prevent employee misconduct, negligence and fraud, to address conflicts of interest and breach of fiduciary obligations, to produce materially accurate and complete financial and other information, to identify credit, liquidity, operational and market risks inherent in our business or to prevent adverse legal or regulatory actions or investigations. Additionally, our reputation can be harmed by actual or alleged compliance failures, information or security breaches, personal data breaches, cyber incidents, technology failures, challenges to the suitability or reasonableness of our particular trading or investment recommendations or strategies and the activities of our customers, clients, counterparties and third parties. Actions by the financial services industry generally or by certain members or individuals in the industry also can adversely affect our reputation. In addition, our reputation may be negatively impacted by our ESG practices and disclosures, including those related to climate change and any actual or perceived overstatement of the ESG-related benefits of our products and services, and how we address ESG concerns in our business activities, or by our clients' involvement in certain business activities associated with climate change. Adverse publicity or negative information in the media, posted on social media, or otherwise, whether or not factually correct, can also have a material adverse impact on our business prospects and financial results, which risk can be magnified by the speed and pervasiveness with which information is disseminated through those channels.

A reputation for financial strength and integrity is critical to our performance in the highly competitive environment arising from globalization and convergence in the financial services industry, and our failure to address, or the appearance of our failing to address, these and other issues gives rise to reputational risk that can harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to appropriately address any of these issues could also give rise to additional regulatory restrictions and legal risks, which may further lead to reputational harm.

> Refer to "Reputational risk" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Risk management – Risk coverage and management for further information.

**Resolution proceedings and resolution planning requirements may affect our shareholders and creditors**

Pursuant to Swiss banking laws, FINMA has broad powers and discretion in the case of resolution proceedings with respect to a Swiss bank, such as Credit Suisse AG or Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, and to a Swiss parent company of a financial group, such as Credit Suisse Group AG. These broad powers include the power to initiate restructuring proceedings with respect to Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG or Credit Suisse Group AG and, in connection therewith, cancel the outstanding equity of the entity subject to such proceedings, convert such entity's debt instruments and other liabilities into equity and/or cancel such debt instruments and other liabilities, in each case, in whole or in part, and stay (for a maximum of two business days) certain termination and netting rights under contracts to which such entity is a party, as well as the power to order protective measures, including the deferment of payments, and institute liquidation proceedings with respect to Credit Suisse AG, Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG or Credit Suisse Group AG. The scope of such powers and discretion and the legal mechanisms that would be applied are subject to development and interpretation.

We are currently subject to resolution planning requirements in Switzerland, the US, the EU and the UK and may face similar requirements in other jurisdictions. If a resolution plan is determined by the relevant authority to be inadequate, relevant regulations may allow the authority to place limitations on the scope or size of our business in that jurisdiction, require us to hold higher amounts of capital or liquidity, require us to divest assets or subsidiaries or to change our legal structure or business to remove the relevant impediments to resolution.

> Refer to "Switzerland – Resolution regime", "US – Resolution regime", "EU – Resolution regime" and "UK – Resolution regime" in Regulation and supervision – Regulatory framework for a description of the current resolution regime under Swiss, US, EU and UK banking laws as they apply to Credit Suisse.

**Changes in monetary policy are beyond our control and difficult to predict**

We are affected by the monetary policies adopted by the central banks and regulatory authorities of Switzerland, the US and other countries. The actions of the SNB and other central banking authorities directly impact our cost of funds for lending, capital raising and investment activities and may impact the value of financial instruments we hold and the competitive and operating environment for the financial services industry. Many central banks, including the Fed and the ECB, have implemented significant changes to their monetary policy or have experienced significant changes in their management and may implement or experience further changes. We cannot predict whether these changes will have a material adverse effect on us or our operations. In addition, changes in monetary policy may affect the credit quality of our customers. Any changes in monetary policy are beyond our control and difficult to predict.

**Legal restrictions on our clients may reduce the demand for our services**

We may be materially affected not only by regulations applicable to us as a financial services company, but also by regulations and changes in enforcement practices applicable to our clients. Our business could be affected by, among other things, existing and proposed tax legislation, antitrust and competition policies, corporate governance initiatives and other governmental regulations

and policies, and changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules that affect business and the financial markets. For example, focus on tax compliance and changes in enforcement practices could lead to further asset outflows from our wealth management businesses.

Competition

**We face intense competition**

We face intense competition in all sectors of the financial services markets and for the products and services we offer. Consolidation through mergers, acquisitions, alliances and cooperation, including as a result of financial distress, has increased competitive pressures. Competition is based on many factors, including the products and services offered, pricing, distribution systems, customer service, brand recognition, perceived financial strength and the willingness to use capital to serve client needs. Consolidation has created a number of firms that, like us, have the ability to offer a wide range of products and services, from loans and deposit taking to brokerage, investment banking and asset management services. Some of these firms may be able to offer a broader range of products than we do, or offer such products at more competitive prices. In addition, current market conditions have had a fundamental impact on client demand for products and services. Some new competitors in the financial technology sector, including nonbank entities, have sought to target existing segments of our businesses that could be susceptible to disruption by innovative or less regulated business models and lead to a loss of market share for traditional banks. Emerging technology, including robo-advising services, digital asset services and other financial products and services, may also result in further competition in the markets in which we operate, for example, by allowing e-commerce firms or other companies to provide products and services similar to ours at a lower price or in a more competitive manner in terms of customer convenience. We may face a competitive disadvantage if these services or our other competitors are subject to different and, in certain cases, less restrictive legal and/or regulatory requirements. We can give no assurance that our results of operations will not be adversely affected.

**We must recruit and retain highly skilled employees**

Our performance is largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Competition for qualified employees is intense and the hiring market in the financial services and other industries has been and is expected to continue to be extremely competitive. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 on evolving workforce norms, practices and expectations, as well as persistent labor shortages, could adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain employees. Employee performance or our control environment could be impacted by an increase in the usage of hybrid work models, but at the same time, reducing or discontinuing hybrid work models could have an adverse effect on our employee recruitment and retention efforts. We have devoted considerable resources to recruiting, training and compensating employees. Our continued ability to compete effectively in our businesses depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees. The failure to attract and/or retain highly qualified employees could also have a negative impact on our ability to comply with our legal and compliance obligations. The continued public focus on compensation practices in the financial services industry, and related regulatory changes, may have an adverse impact on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. In particular, limits on the amount and form of executive compensation imposed by existing or future legislation, including the Swiss Code of Obligations and the Capital Requirements Directive V in the EU and the UK, could potentially have an adverse impact on our ability to retain certain of our most highly skilled employees and hire new qualified employees in certain businesses. Additionally, the anticipated changes in the Group as part of our strategic initiatives announced on October 27, 2022, can also negatively impact our ability to hire and retain highly qualified employees, including due to any changes or reductions in compensation. Any matters impacting our financial results or reputation can negatively impact our ability to retain employees and recruit new talent as well as reduce employee morale. Competitors may also seize upon these negative developments to hire some of our employees. For example, we have experienced high attrition, attributable at least in part to the challenges we have been facing in recent years.

If we are unable to attract and/or retain highly qualified employees across our businesses, this may have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our strategic initiatives and on our results of operations and financial condition. Cost-cutting measures and headcount reductions could contribute to these concerns.

**We face competition from new technologies**

Our businesses face competitive challenges from new technologies, including new trading technologies and trends towards direct access to automated and electronic markets with low or no fees and commissions, and the move to more automated trading platforms. Such technologies and trends may adversely affect our commission and trading revenues, exclude our businesses from certain transaction flows, reduce our participation in the trading markets and the associated access to market information and lead to the establishment of new and stronger competitors. We have made, and may continue to be required to make, significant additional expenditures to develop and support new trading systems or otherwise invest in technology to maintain our competitive position.

The evolution of internet-based financial solutions has also facilitated growth in new technologies, including distributed ledgers, such as digital assets and blockchain, which may disrupt the financial services industry and require us to commit further resources to adapt our products and services. Wider adoption of such emerging technologies may also increase our costs for complying with evolving laws, rules and regulations, and if we are not timely or successful in adapting to evolving consumer or market preferences, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, as we develop new products and services that involve emerging technologies, we may face new risks if they are not designed and governed adequately.

Operating environment

Global economic activity slowed in 2022, and inflation has been on the rise. Global equity markets declined substantially. Major government bond yields increased, and the US dollar was generally stronger against other major currencies in 2022.

Economic environment

Global economic growth slowed in 2022 as the impetus from post-pandemic reopening and global monetary policy stimulus decreased. Energy disruptions resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, tighter monetary policies and weakening consumer and business confidence weighed on economic growth in developed economies. Inflation in major economies increased as high energy prices, supply shortages and tight labor markets contributed to rising prices. Economic and social activity in China was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic as a stringent zero-COVID policy caused intermittent public lockdowns during the year.

Global monetary policies tightened significantly with several major central banks increasing interest rates. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) increased its policy rate from 0-0.25% to 4.25-4.50%. The European Central Bank (ECB) increased the policy rate from -0.5% to 2.0%. Other major central banks also increased rates meaningfully, including the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank (SNB). The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept monetary policy accommodative but took the first steps towards tightening by widening the target band for the 10-year yield at the end of December.

Global equities declined by 16% in 2022, the worst annual equity performance since 2008, driven by high inflation, the tightening of global monetary policies and fears of a global recession. Most major developed and emerging equity markets reported negative returns for the year. US equities declined by 19%, Swiss equities by 16% and eurozone equities decreased by 12%. Emerging market equities declined by 15%, with Latin America as the best performing emerging market region in 2022. Emerging market equities in Asia declined by 16%, mainly due to the weak performance in China, South Korea and Taiwan. Energy was the only sector with a positive performance in 2022, increasing by 53%. Technology-related sectors came under pressure as interest rates increased, with information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services declining by 30% or more. World bank stocks declined by 6% but outperformed global equities. European bank stocks increased by 5%. Equity market volatility, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (VIX) ended the year higher (refer to the charts under "Equity markets").

In fixed income, bonds generally delivered negative returns but stabilized towards the end of 2022, reflecting market expectations of inflation possibly stabilizing and consequently less interest rate increases by central banks. Euro yield curves between the 2-year and 10-year maturities also inverted alongside US yield curves. Meanwhile, the Swiss franc yield curve remained relatively flat (refer to the charts under "Yield curves"). In credit, emerging market sovereign bonds outperformed global high-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds. Credit spreads tightened towards the end of the year (refer to the chart under "Credit spreads").

The US dollar outperformed major currencies in 2022. The US dollar was supported by the federal funds rate increases throughout the year. In addition, economic and geopolitical uncertainties and the respective deterioration in global risk sentiment resulted in increased demand for the US dollar and the Swiss franc, which also performed comparably well against most major currencies. Elsewhere in Europe, the proximity to Russia's invasion of Ukraine affected most other European currencies negatively. The Japanese yen also depreciated substantially given the increasing interest rate differentials as the BoJ maintained its accommodative policy throughout 2022. Most emerging market currencies also underperformed against the US dollar. The Brazilian real was the best performing major emerging market currency, while the Turkish lira and the Argentine peso were the worst performers against the US dollar.

The Credit Suisse Commodity Benchmark increased by 25% in 2022, outperforming other risk assets significantly. Energy markets increased significantly, outperforming the benchmark, despite weaker performance in the second half of 2022. Russia's invasion of Ukraine added further supply constraints on an already tightly supplied energy markets at the start of 2022, but inventory pressures started to ease as the year progressed. Agriculture prices increased in 2022 but underperformed the benchmark. Both industrial metals and precious metals trailed the broader commodities complex. The tightening of global monetary policies placed a relative burden on gold, and the slowdown in global industrial activity weighed on industrial metals.

Credit Suisse

In 2022, we recorded a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 7,293 million. Return on equity and return on tangible equity were (16.1)% and (17.4)%, respectively. As of the end of 2022, our CET1 ratio was 14.1%.

Results summary

**2022 results**

In 2022, Credit Suisse reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 7,293 million, which included a valuation allowance in the third quarter of 2022 of CHF 3,655 million related to a reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review, compared to a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,650 million in 2021. In 2022, Credit Suisse reported a loss before taxes of CHF 3,258 million, compared to a loss before taxes of CHF 600 million in 2021. The 2022 results reflected a 34% decrease in net revenues and a 5% decrease in total operating expenses. Our 2021 results included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million, which was recognized in the Investment Bank, as well as provision for credit losses of CHF 4,205 million, mainly driven by a net charge of CHF 4,307 million in respect of the failure by Archegos Capital Management (Archegos) to meet its margin commitments. Adjusted loss before taxes in 2022 was CHF 1,249 million compared to adjusted income before taxes of CHF 6,599 million in 2021.

Our 2022 results included a net loss of CHF 588 million relating to our equity investment in Allfunds Group, which was recognized in the divisional results of Wealth Management and real estate gains of CHF 368 million recognized primarily in the divisional results of the Swiss Bank, Wealth Management and the Investment Bank.

As of the end of 2022, our Bank for International Settlements (BIS) common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 14.1% and our risk-weighted assets (RWA) were CHF 250.5 billion.

> Refer to "Capital management" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet for further information.

As previously disclosed, Credit Suisse experienced deposit and net asset outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022. While these outflows were significant, approximately two-thirds of the outflows in the quarter were concentrated in October and had reduced substantially for the rest of the quarter. In 2023 to date, these outflows have further moderated. While the bank continues to take proactive actions to regain client inflows, lower deposits and assets under management are expected to lead to reduced net interest income and recurring commissions and fees. While this is likely to lead to a loss for Wealth Management in the first quarter of 2023, performance for the remainder of 2023 will depend on our ability to execute our strategy, net asset flows and market conditions. Strategic actions taken to significantly reduce the Group's risk profile are expected to be reflected in our financial results and given the challenging market backdrop, we would expect the Investment Bank to report a loss in the first quarter of 2023. In light of the adverse revenue impact from the previously disclosed exit from non-core businesses and exposures and restructuring charges related to our cost transformation, Credit Suisse would also expect the Group to report a substantial loss before taxes in 2023. The Group's actual results will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the Investment Bank and Wealth Management divisions, the continued exit of non-core positions, any goodwill impairments, litigation, regulatory actions, credit spreads and related funding costs, the impact of continued employee attrition and the outcome of certain other items, including potential real estate sales.

**2021 results**

In 2021, Credit Suisse reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 1,650 million compared to net income attributable to shareholders of CHF 2,669 million in 2020. In 2021, Credit Suisse reported a loss before taxes of CHF 600 million, compared to income before taxes of CHF 3,467 million in 2020. Our 2021 results included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million, which was recognized in the Investment Bank. Adjusted income before taxes in 2021 was CHF 6,599

million compared to CHF 4,375 million in 2020. The 2021 results included provision for credit losses of CHF 4,205 million, mainly driven by a net charge of CHF 4,307 million in respect of the failure by Archegos to meet its margin commitments, which was reflected in the Investment Bank.

The 2021 results included a net gain of CHF 602 million relating to our equity investment in Allfunds Group (as described below), which was recognized in the divisional results of Wealth Management and a loss of CHF 70 million relating to our equity investment in the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX) Group AG, which was recognized in the divisional results of Swiss Bank and Wealth Management. Results also included an impairment of CHF 113 million relating to York Capital Management (York), which was recognized in Asset Management.

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect the economic environment throughout 2021. Equity and credit markets generally performed well during the year on the increased prospect of a strong economic recovery due to significant fiscal supports, accommodative monetary policies, accelerating vaccination programs and the easing of economic and social activity lockdowns. Negative impacts related to the pandemic on a broad and diverse population of supply chains began to affect numerous business sectors in the global economy and toward the end of the year gave rise to inflationary pressures.

2022 results details

**Net revenues**

Compared to 2021, net revenues of CHF 14,921 million decreased 34%, with lower net revenues in the Investment Bank, Wealth Management, Swiss Bank and Asset Management. The decrease in the Investment Bank was primarily driven by significantly lower capital markets and fixed income and equity sales and trading revenues. The decrease in net revenues in Wealth Management was driven by lower other revenues, lower transaction- and performance-based revenues and lower recurring commissions and fees. The decrease in net revenues in Swiss Bank was mainly due to lower net interest income, lower transaction-based revenues and lower other revenues. The decrease in net revenues in Asset Management was driven by lower performance, transaction and placement revenue and declining management fees, reflecting lower average assets under management and increased investor bias towards passive products, partially offset by higher investment and partnership income.

**Provision for credit losses**

In 2022, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 16 million, primarily reflecting provisions of CHF 90 million in Swiss Bank, partially offset by a release of CHF 84 million in the Investment Bank in respect of the Archegos matter.

**Total operating expenses**

Total operating expenses of CHF 18,163 million in 2022 decreased 5% compared to 2021, mainly relating to a lower goodwill impairment charge of CHF 23 million compared to prior year of CHF 1,623 million, partially offset by increased general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 9%, primarily driven by higher IT, machinery and equipment expenses and by higher professional services fees. Compensation and benefits decreased 2%, mainly due to lower discretionary compensation expenses and lower deferred compensation awards. Total operating expenses in 2022 included restructuring expenses of CHF 533 million.

**Income tax expense**

In 2022, the Group incurred an income tax expense of CHF 4,048 million on a loss before taxes of CHF 3,258 million, primarily reflecting the valuation allowance of CHF 3,655 million in the third quarter of 2022 relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the strategic review, primarily due to the limited future taxable income against which deferred tax assets could be utilized.

The negative tax rate for the full year was further driven by losses in entities for which no tax accounting benefit could be recognized, as management concluded that there was limited recoverability of net deferred tax assets primarily due to limited future taxable income, as well as the non-deductible funding costs. Additionally, the Group continued to record taxes in entities with taxable profits which cannot be offset against losses of other Group entities. This inability to offset tax losses and profits is due to the fact that the Group entities are tax resident in different jurisdictions or they are tax resident in a jurisdiction where the consolidation of the entities for tax purposes is not possible.

Overall, net deferred tax assets/(liabilities) decreased CHF 4,026 million from CHF 2,953 million to CHF (1,073) million during 2022, primarily driven by the reassessment of the deferred tax assets.

2021 results details

**Net revenues**

Compared to 2020, net revenues of CHF 22,696 million were stable, as higher net revenues in Asset Management, the Corporate Center and Swiss Bank were offset by lower net revenues in the Investment Bank. The increase in net revenues in Asset Management was driven by higher investment and partnership income, increased performance and placement revenue, and growth in management fees, reflecting higher average assets under management. The increase in net revenues in Swiss Bank was mainly due to higher recurring commissions and fees as well as higher transaction-based revenues, partially offset by lower other revenues. The decrease in net revenues in the Investment Bank, compared to a strong prior year, reflecting lower sales and trading revenues, including a loss of CHF 470 million related to Archegos, partially offset by higher capital markets and advisory activity. Compared to 2020, net revenues in Wealth Management were stable as lower transaction-based revenues and lower net interest income were offset by higher other revenues and higher recurring commissions and fees.

**Provision for credit losses**

In 2021, we recorded provision for credit losses of CHF 4,205 million, primarily reflecting provisions of CHF 4,209 million in the Investment Bank mainly in respect of the Archegos matter. Provision for credit losses reflected CHF 4,400 million of specific provisions, partially offset by a release of CHF 235 million of non-specific provisions for expected credit losses.

**Total operating expenses**

We reported total operating expenses of CHF 19,091 million in 2021, a 7% increase compared to 2020, mainly relating to a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million and increased general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses increased 10%, primarily driven by higher professional services fees, higher litigation provisions and higher IT, machinery and equipment expenses. Litigation provisions in 2021 were mainly in connection with legacy litigation matters, including mortgage-related matters and settlements with regard to the Stadtwerke München GmbH (SWM) and the Mozambique matters, as well as provisions in connection with the supply chain finance funds (SCFF) matter. Compensation and benefits decreased 9%, mainly due to lower discretionary compensation expenses and lower deferred compensation awards, including a downward adjustment to performance share awards as a result of the full year divisional loss in the Investment Bank and malus and clawbacks of previously granted compensation awards in connection with the Archegos and the SCFF matters. Total operating expenses in 2021 included restructuring expenses of CHF 103 million.

**Goodwill**

The strategic announcement made on November 4, 2021 required an impairment assessment of the carrying value of our goodwill position in the fourth quarter of 2021. Upon performance of that assessment, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million in 2021, which was recognized in the Investment Bank, and was mainly related to the acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ) in 2000. The goodwill impairment charge did not impact CET1 capital and leverage ratios.

**Income tax expense**

In 2021, we recorded income tax expense of CHF 1,026 million, compared to CHF 801 million in 2020. The negative effective tax rate for the full year mainly reflected the impact of the loss related to Archegos, for which only the loss attributable to non-UK operations could be recognized as a partial tax benefit, whereas, for the remainder of the loss, a valuation allowance was required.

Additionally, the tax rate reflected the impact of the non-deductible goodwill impairment, the impact of the geographical mix of results, litigation provisions, including provisions relating to the Mozambique matter, for which only limited tax benefits could be obtained, withholding taxes and non-deductible funding costs. Overall, net deferred tax assets decreased CHF 184 million to CHF 2,953 million during 2021, primarily driven by earnings, partially offset by the impact of the partial tax benefit of the loss related to Archegos, for which the Group recognized a deferred tax asset.

**Reconciliation of adjustment items**

Results excluding certain items included in our reported results are non-GAAP financial measures. Following the reorganization implemented at the beginning of 2022, we have amended the presentation of our adjusted results. Management believes that such results provide a useful presentation of our operating results for purposes of assessing our Group and divisional performance consistently over time, on a basis that excludes items that management does not consider representative of our underlying performance. Provided below is a reconciliation of our adjusted results to the most directly comparable US GAAP measures.

Other information

**Strategic Review**

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse announced a series of decisive actions following a strategic review conducted by the Board of Directors and Executive Board, focused on a restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital. The transformation is intended to be funded through divestments, exits, capital actions and existing resources. As the Group implements these actions, restructuring costs, including from asset impairments and liability valuations, are expected to arise in connection with business activities the Group plans to exit or transfer and their related infrastructure.

> Refer to "Strategy" in I – Information on the company for further information and "Risk factors" in I – Information on the company for further information on risks that may arise in relation to these matters.

**Capital increase**

On November 23, 2022, the Group held an Extraordinary General Meeting, at which shareholders approved two capital increases. The Group completed the first capital increase on November 25, 2022 by way of a share placement of 462,041,884 newly issued shares to qualified investors resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 1.76 billion. The Group completed the second capital increase by way of a rights offering on December 9, 2022. By the end of the rights exercise period, 98.2% of the rights had been exercised for the issuance of 872,989,594 new shares. The remaining 16,378,864 newly issued shares for which rights were not exercised were sold in the market. The rights offering resulted in gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 2.25 billion. The capital increases resulted in 1,351,410,342 newly issued shares and gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 4.0 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG made capital contributions of CHF 3.89 billion to its wholly owned subsidiary Credit Suisse AG.

**Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, during early fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. However, as the quarter progressed, these outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed by year-end, and customer deposits declined by CHF 138 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. As is normal practice, we also limited our access to the capital markets in the period immediately preceding the strategy announcements we made on October 27, 2022. While these outflows led us to partially utilize liquidity buffers at the Group and legal entity level, and we fell below certain legal entity-level regulatory requirements, the core requirements of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) at the Group level were maintained at all times. The Group's three-month average daily LCR was 144% as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, improved from lower levels earlier in the quarter.

Remediation plans were prepared, initiated and implemented to mitigate these outflows, including accessing the public and private markets. We issued over USD 5 billion through three bond sales in November and December 2022, which saw strong investor demand, and an additional CHF 4 billion through our capital increases. Other steps also include certain asset disposals, including the announced sale of a significant portion of SPG and other related financing businesses. We would note that the execution of these actions and other deleveraging measures, including, but not limited to, in the non-core businesses, is also expected to strengthen liquidity ratios and, over time, reduce the funding requirements of the Group. As is common for banks, we also continue to have access to central bank funding sources if required.

These circumstances have exacerbated the risks we described under "Liquidity risk" in I – Information on the company – Risk factors.

**Outflows in assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, Credit Suisse began experiencing deposit and net asset outflows in early fourth quarter of 2022 at levels that substantially exceeded the rates incurred in the third quarter of 2022. At the Group level, net asset outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022 were approximately 8% of assets under management as of the end of the third quarter of 2022, with approximately two-thirds of these net asset outflows in the quarter concentrated in October 2022. In Wealth Management, these outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022 had reduced substantially in the rest of the quarter from the elevated levels of early fourth quarter of 2022, but had not reversed, and represented approximately 15% of assets under management reported as of the end of the third quarter of 2022. In the Swiss Bank, these outflows in fourth quarter of 2022 broadly stabilized after the elevated levels of early fourth quarter of 2022, and represented approximately 2% of assets under management reported as of the end of the third quarter of 2022. In Asset Management, these outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022 represented 3% of assets under management reported as of the end of the third quarter of 2022.

**Credit ratings downgrades**

During 2022, several rating agencies downgraded our credit ratings for Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG.

> Refer to "Liquidity risk" in I – Information on the company – Risk factors for further information on risks that may arise in relation to these matters.

> Refer to "Credit ratings" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Liquidity and funding management – Funding management for further information relating to credit ratings

**Public tender offers for debt securities**

On October 7, 2022, the Group announced offers by Credit Suisse International to repurchase certain senior debt securities for cash up to approximately CHF 3 billion. The offers entailed a cash tender offer in relation to eight euro or pound sterling denominated senior debt securities for an aggregate consideration of up to EUR 1 billion and a separate cash tender offer in relation to twelve US dollar denominated senior debt securities for an aggregate consideration of up to USD 2 billion. Both offers

were subject to various conditions as set out in the respective tender offer memoranda. The offers expired on November 3, 2022 and November 18, 2022, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the offer documents.

**Allfunds Group** 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Group sold its entire participation in Allfunds Group plc (Allfunds Group), which represented approximately 8.6% of the share capital of Allfunds Group, through an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors. Following the completion of this transaction, the Group no longer holds any shares in Allfunds Group.

**Goodwill** 

The review of the Group's five-year financial plan to reflect the announced strategy on October 27, 2022 was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill exceeded their related carrying values and no further impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2022.

The fair values of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units both exceeded their related carrying values by less than 10%. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse experienced a significant level of deposit and assets under management outflows. The goodwill allocated to these reporting units became more sensitive to an impairment due to these outflows and subdued client activity. There is a significant risk of a future goodwill impairment for these reporting units if their future performance do not achieve the financial projections contained within the five-year financial plan.

As a result of the announced strategy and organizational changes, the Private Fund Group business in the Asset Management reporting unit was transferred to the Investment Bank reporting unit effective January 1, 2023, resulting in an initial transfer of approximately CHF 30 million of goodwill between the reporting units. The Group expects a full impairment in the first quarter of 2023 of the goodwill transferred to the Investment Bank.

As a result of the previously announced acquisition of The Klein Group LLC that is expected to close in the first half of 2023, the Investment Bank will initially recognize a goodwill balance of approximately CHF 60 million, which it expects to fully impair upon the closing of the acquisition.

**Russia's invasion of Ukraine**

In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many countries across the world imposed severe sanctions against Russia's financial system and on Russian government officials and business leaders, and these sanctions have been expanded several times. The Group continues to assess the impact of the sanctions already imposed, and potential future escalations, on its exposures and client relationships. As of December 31, 2022, the Group had a net credit exposure to Russia, after specific allowances and provisions for credit losses and valuation adjustments, of CHF 249 million, primarily related to corporates, individuals and the sovereign. The net credit exposure decreased from CHF 848 million as of December 31, 2021. In addition, Russian subsidiaries had a net asset value of approximately CHF 214 million as of December 31, 2022. The Group has further reduced Russia related exposures in the fourth quarter of 2022 as the market and counterparty situation evolved, and remaining exposures continue to be subject to ongoing monitoring and management. The Group notes that these developments may continue to affect its financial performance, including credit loss estimates and potential asset impairments.

**Dividend proposal**

Our Board of Directors proposes to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2023 a cash distribution of CHF 0.05 per share for the financial year 2022.

**Supply chain finance funds**

As previously reported, in early March 2021, the boards of the SCFF managed by certain Group subsidiaries decided to suspend redemptions and subscriptions of those funds to protect the interests of the funds' investors, to terminate the SCFF and to proceed to their liquidation. Those decisions were based on concerns that a substantial part of the funds' assets was subject to considerable valuation uncertainty. Credit Suisse Asset Management (Schweiz) AG (CSAM) acts as the portfolio manager of the SCFF. The assets held by the SCFF, largely consisting of notes backed by existing and future receivables, were originated and structured by Greensill Capital (UK) Limited or one of its affiliates (Greensill Capital).

The last published net asset value (NAV) of the SCFF in late February 2021 was approximately USD 10 billion in the aggregate. As of February 7, 2023, together with the cash already distributed to investors and cash remaining in the funds, total cash collected in the SCFF amounts to approximately USD 7.4 billion including the cash position in the funds at the time of suspension. Redemption payments totaling approximately USD 6.8 billion have been made to their investors. The portfolio manager continues to work to liquidate the remaining assets of the SCFF, including by engaging directly with potentially delinquent obligors and other creditors, and to file insurance claims, as appropriate. However, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the valuation of a significant part of the remaining assets. It therefore can be assumed that the investors of the SCFF will suffer a loss. CSAM intends to take all necessary steps to collect outstanding amounts from debtors and insurers, but can give no assurance as to the final amount that may be recovered for the SCFF under such notes. The amount of loss of the investors therefore is currently unknown.

Based on currently available information, losses for the investors can be expected to occur predominantly in positions that, prior to March 31, 2021, had a NAV of approximately USD 2.3 billion in the aggregate. These positions relate primarily to three groups of companies: "GFG Alliance", Katerra and Bluestone. CSAM

continues to invest substantial efforts to maximize and expedite recovery in these positions, including pursuing consensual restructuring in addition to filing insurance claims and seeking legal enforcement of the funds' claims where appropriate. 18 insurance claims have been filed to date.

In October 2021, CSAM reached an agreement with "GFG Alliance" for the repayment in full of the portion of the "GFG Alliance" exposure relating to its Australian operations. Under the terms of this agreement, an upfront payment of AUD 129 million was made and further payments on the remaining principal of AUD 240 million, including interest, are expected through mid-2023. Overall, together with the monthly payments from November 2021 until January 2023, the total cash returned (including principal repayments and interests) is approximately AUD 329 million.

In March 2022, in connection with the 2022 AGM, Credit Suisse received a proposal from Ethos Foundation and other shareholders requesting information and that a special audit be conducted in connection with the SCFF and "Suisse Secrets" matters. The Board of Directors responded to the request for information with answers on both matters, which were made publicly available on the Credit Suisse website. On April 29, 2022, at the AGM, the shareholders of Credit Suisse Group AG rejected the proposal for a special audit.

In June 2022, CSAM reached an agreement with Bluestone Resources (Bluestone) and its shareholders for the payment of cash to noteholders, including the SCFF. This agreement includes, among other things: a two-year standstill period, during which no party may take, commence or initiate any action to exercise or enforce any claim in this context against any other party; recurring payments from Bluestone as well as recurring payments from its owners, Bluestone CEO James C. Justice III's family, of up to USD 320 million to all noteholders; and the sharing by noteholders and the Justice family in the proceeds from any sale of the Bluestone entities, in which noteholders would receive the remaining portion of the USD 320 million not yet paid, plus 50% of the sale proceeds, on an agreed upon basis.

For the Liechtenstein-domiciled Credit Suisse Supply Chain Finance Investment Grade Fund, the final payment of liquidation proceeds totaling approximately USD 31.3 million was made with value date November 11, 2022. This brought the total amount returned to investors to approximately USD 667 million, which amounts to over 99% of the fund's net asset value at the time of its suspension.

For the Credit Suisse Nova (Lux) Supply Chain Finance Investment Grade Fund, the final payment of liquidation proceeds totaling approximately USD 8.1 million was made with value date February 6, 2023. This brought the total amount returned to investors to approximately USD 258 million, which amounts to over 99% of the fund's net asset value at the time of its suspension.

A number of regulatory and other inquiries, investigations, enforcement and other actions have been initiated or are being considered in respect of this matter. Furthermore, civil actions have been filed by fund investors and other parties against Credit Suisse and certain officers and directors in various jurisdictions. Certain investors and other private parties have also filed criminal complaints against Credit Suisse and other parties in connection with this matter. As this matter develops, we may become subject to additional litigation and regulatory inquiries, investigations and actions.

On February 28, 2023, FINMA announced the conclusion of its enforcement proceedings against Credit Suisse in connection with the SCFF matter. In its order, FINMA reported that Credit Suisse had seriously breached applicable Swiss supervisory laws in this context with regard to risk management and appropriate operational structures. We would note that, over the last two years, Credit Suisse has significantly strengthened its overall risk management and controls across the Group, including in Asset Management. While FINMA recognized that Credit Suisse has already taken extensive organizational measures based on its own investigation into the SCFF matter, particularly to strengthen its governance and control processes, and FINMA is supportive of these measures, the regulator has ordered certain additional remedial measures. These include a requirement that the most important (approximately 500) business relationships must be reviewed periodically and holistically at the Executive Board level, in particular for counterparty risks, and that Credit Suisse must set up a document defining the responsibilities of approximately 600 of its highest-ranking managers. FINMA will appoint an audit officer to assess compliance with these supervisory measures. Separate from the enforcement proceeding regarding Credit Suisse, FINMA has opened four enforcement proceedings against former managers of Credit Suisse.

> Refer to "Note 40 - Litigation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for a description of the regulatory and legal developments relating to this matter

We continue to analyze this matter, including with the assistance of external counsel and other experts. The Board of Directors initiated an externally led investigation of this matter, supervised by a special committee of the Board of Directors. The related report was completed, the findings were made available to the Board of Directors and the report was shared with FINMA. Given the reputational impact of the SCFF matter on us, actions have been taken against a number of employees where the Board of Directors deemed it was appropriate. In light of the ongoing recovery process and the legal complexities of the matter, there is no intention by the Board of Directors to publish the report. An internal project has been set up to further enhance governance as well as to strengthen risk management processes. The Group continues to assess the potential for recovery on behalf of the investors in the funds, and further analyze new, pending or threatened proceedings. As previously reported, the resolution of the matter, the timing of which is difficult to predict, could cause the Group to incur material losses.

Redemptions and subscriptions of certain other funds managed by CSAM that invested in part in the SCFFs were also suspended in early March 2021. The illiquid part of these funds' assets was subsequently separated into a separate share class to allow for subscriptions and redemptions of the original share classes, reflecting the liquid part of the funds' assets, to resume as of April 7, 2021. The separate share class reflecting the illiquid assets is in the process of being liquidated, and shareholders receive pro rata payments of the redemption proceeds.

Group subsidiaries also had collateralized bridge lending and other direct and indirect exposures to Greensill Capital, including exposures relating to certain fund-linked products. With respect to the collateralized bridge loan of USD 140 million, in the fourth quarter of 2022, a settlement agreement was reached, resulting in full recovery of the outstanding principal and accrued interest.

As a consequence of the SCFF matter, in 2021, previously granted compensation awards were recovered from certain individuals through malus and clawback, primarily in Asset Management.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, we introduced a fee waiver program for clients impacted by this matter wherein certain commissions and fees arising from current and future business transactions may be reimbursed on a quarterly basis, provided certain conditions are met. We incurred negative revenues of CHF 88 million in 2022 relating to this fee waiver program, primarily in Wealth Management.

**Replacement of interbank offered rates**

Following significant international and regulatory pressure to replace certain interbank offered rate (IBOR) benchmarks with alternative reference rates (ARRs), the major structural change in global financial markets is now nearing completion.

Credit Suisse's legacy non-USD LIBOR portfolio has been successfully transitioned to alternative reference rates with minimal reliance on synthetic LIBOR.

With respect to USD LIBOR settings, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), the alternative reference rate recommended by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), has already gained a significant foothold in the markets. With regulatory pressure to move new trading activity away from LIBOR, except in certain limited circumstances, SOFR has become the dominant market rate even ahead of the official cessation date for USD LIBOR.

While Credit Suisse has a significant level of liabilities and assets linked to USD LIBOR, the significant majority of the Group's legacy LIBOR portfolio has a reduced level of transition risk due to the presence of robust fallback provisions. The majority of the portfolio is made up of derivative contracts where most counterparts have already adhered to the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol or to the June 2022 Benchmark Module to the ISDA 2021 Fallbacks Protocol, which eliminate contractual uncertainty around the discontinuation of USD LIBOR.

Under the leadership of members of the Executive Board and our business and functional leaders across the entire Group, the IBOR Transition Program remains fully engaged to facilitate the transition away from USD LIBOR by mid-2023. With respect to the remaining USD LIBOR settings, work remains focused on the five key areas identified in 2019:

■ Operational readiness and resiliency: at the end of 2022 the Bank is operationally ready to support SOFR products in markets in which it is active. Given the significant number of USD transactions that are expected to rely on fallback provisions, operational planning is complete with tests and rehearsals under way for the transition.

■ Legal contract assessment and repapering: for the small residual portfolio without robust fallback provisions contract assessment is complete with resources in place to accommodate contract renegotiations when our clients are ready to engage.

■ Product development and industry engagement: Credit Suisse continues to participate in national working groups in all of our main markets and actively supports the initiatives developed in these forums. In industry and client interactions we seek to build consensus with our clients, peers and national regulators to strengthen the integrity and robustness of our core markets through the transition to ARRs. Building on our established USD franchise, we are continuing to pioneer innovative solutions in the SOFR markets.

■ Risk management and mitigation: to manage transition risk, the Group implemented a group-wide policy to limit new LIBOR-referencing business and control the wind-down of legacy exposures in advance of the expected cessation (now June 30, 2023). Accordingly, divisional plans were developed to ensure timely compliance with the policy and limits therein. Certain milestones were put in place and are monitored to ensure the transition is progressed in a timely fashion. Modelling and other risk management systems have been revised to accommodate the transition and were successfully tested and implemented as necessary. Pricing models have been reviewed and updated where needed. While most of the remaining legacy LIBOR portfolio has reduced transition risk, we are continuing our client outreach efforts to actively transition or de-risk the residual portfolio and to keep our clients informed during the last phase of the transition.

■ Strategic Transition Planning and Communication: aligned with regulatory guidance on the transition, Credit Suisse's businesses have developed and ratified their own transition plans. As practices and conventions converge across the markets, we believe that these plans position us to be prepared and to optimally service our clients during and after the transition. Over forty thousand of our employees have been trained on LIBOR transitions and we continue to inform our clients about the progress of the transition.

**Subsidiary guarantee information**

The Group and the Bank have issued full, unconditional and several guarantees of Credit Suisse (USA), Inc.'s outstanding SEC-registered debt securities, which as of December 31, 2022 consisted of a single outstanding issuance with a balance of USD 742 million maturing in July 2032. Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, and the guarantees have been in place since March 2007. In accordance with the guarantees, if Credit Suisse (USA), Inc. fails to make a timely payment under the agreements governing such debt securities, the holders of the debt securities may demand payment from either the Group or the Bank, without first proceeding against Credit Suisse (USA), Inc., but to date there has been no occasion where holders of the debt securities have demanded payment under the guarantees. The guarantee from the Group is subordinated to senior liabilities, and the guarantees from the Group and the Bank are structurally subordinated to liabilities of any of the subsidiaries of the Group or the Bank that do not guarantee the debt securities.

**Format of presentation** 

In managing our business, revenues are evaluated in the aggregate, including an assessment of trading gains and losses and the related interest income and expense from financing and hedging positions. For this reason, specific individual revenue categories in isolation may not be indicative of performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to the current presentation.

**Performance measures**

Credit Suisse measures firm-wide returns against total shareholders' equity and tangible shareholders' equity, a non-GAAP financial measure also known as tangible book value. Tangible shareholders' equity is calculated by deducting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders' equity as presented in our balance sheet. In addition, Credit Suisse also measures the efficiency of the firm and its divisions with regard to the usage of regulatory capital. Regulatory capital is calculated as the average of 13.5% of RWA and 4.25% of leverage exposure and return on regulatory capital, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated using income/(loss) after tax and assumes a tax rate of 30% for periods prior to 2020 and 25% from 2020 onward. For the Investment Bank, return on regulatory capital is based on US dollar denominated numbers. Return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology. Adjusted return on regulatory capital excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.

The Group's economic profit is a non-GAAP financial measure, calculated using income/(loss) before tax applying a 25% tax rate less a capital charge. The capital charge is calculated based on the sum of (i) a cost of capital applied to the average regulatory capital of each of the four divisions; and (ii) a 10% cost of capital applied to the residual of the Group's average tangible equity less the sum of the regulatory capital of the four divisions. The applied cost of capital for the divisions is 8% for Wealth Management, the Swiss Bank and Asset Management and 12% for the Investment Bank. Adjusted economic profit excluding certain items included in our reported results is calculated using results excluding such items, applying the same methodology.

Management believes that these metrics are meaningful as they are measures used and relied upon by industry analysts and investors to assess valuations and capital adequacy.

**Compensation and benefits** 

Compensation and benefits include fixed components, such as salaries, benefits and the amortization of share-based and other deferred compensation from prior-year awards, and a discretionary variable component. The variable component reflects the performance-based variable compensation for the current year. The portion of the performance-based compensation for the current year deferred through share-based and other awards is expensed in future periods and is subject to vesting and other conditions.

Our shareholders' equity reflects the effect of share-based compensation. Share-based compensation expense (which is generally based on fair value at the time of grant) reduces equity; however, the recognition of the obligation to deliver the shares increases equity by a corresponding amount. Equity is generally unaffected by the granting and vesting of share-based awards and by the settlement of these awards through the issuance of shares from approved conditional capital. The Group may issue shares from conditional capital to meet its obligations to deliver share-based compensation awards. If Credit Suisse purchases shares from the market to meet its obligation to employees, these purchased treasury shares reduce equity by the amount of the purchase price.

> Refer to "Group compensation" in V – Compensation, "Consolidated statements of changes in equity", "Tax benefits associated with share-based compensation" in Note 29 – Tax and "Note 30 – Employee deferred compensation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Allocations and funding** 

**Revenue sharing**

Responsibility for each product is allocated to a specific segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing and service level agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis. The aim of revenue-sharing and service level agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions.

**Cost allocation**

Corporate services and business support, including in finance, operations, human resources, legal, risk management, compliance and IT, are provided by corporate functions, and the related costs are allocated to the segments and the Corporate Center based on their respective requirements and other relevant measures.

**Funding** 

We centrally manage our funding activities. We primarily focus our issuance strategy on offering long-term debt securities at the Group level for funding and capital purposes.

> Refer to "Note 4 – Segment information" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Fair valuations**

Fair value can be a relevant measurement for financial instruments when it aligns the accounting for these instruments with how we manage our business. The levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the relevant accounting guidance are not a measurement of economic risk, but rather an indication of the observability of prices or valuation inputs.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" and "Note 36 – Financial instruments" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

The fair value of the majority of the Group's financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets (level 1) or observable inputs (level 2). These instruments include government and agency securities, certain short-term borrowings, most investment grade corporate debt, certain high yield debt securities, exchange-traded and certain over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments and most listed equity securities.

In addition, the Group holds financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs (level 3). For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and judgment depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These instruments include certain OTC derivatives, including interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and credit derivatives, certain corporate equity-linked securities, mortgage-related securities, private equity investments, certain loans and credit products, including leveraged finance, certain syndicated loans and certain high yield bonds.

Models were used to value financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs (level 3). Models are developed internally and are reviewed by functions independent of the front office to ensure they are appropriate for current market conditions. The models require subjective assessment and varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, pricing assumptions and risks affecting the specific instrument. The models consider observable and unobservable parameters in calculating the value of these products, including certain indices relating to these products. Consideration of these indices is more significant in periods of lower market activity.

As of the end of 2022, 25% and 22% of our total assets and total liabilities, respectively, were measured at fair value.

The majority of our level 3 assets are recorded in our investment banking businesses. Total assets at fair value recorded as level 3 instruments decreased CHF 1.3 billion to CHF 9.3 billion as of the end of 2022, primarily reflecting net realized and unrealized losses, mainly in trading assets and other investments, and net settlements, mainly in loans, loans held-for-sale and trading assets.

As of the end of 2022, our level 3 assets comprised 2% of total assets and 7% of total assets measured at fair value, compared to 1% and 5%, respectively, as of the end of 2021.

We believe that the range of any valuation uncertainty, in the aggregate, would not be material to our financial condition; however, it may be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Group and Bank differences

The business of the Bank is substantially the same as the business of Credit Suisse Group, and substantially all of the Bank's operations in 2022 were conducted through the Wealth Management, Investment Bank, Swiss Bank and Asset Management segments. Certain Corporate Center activities of the Group, such as hedging activities relating to share-based compensation awards, are not applicable to the Bank. Certain other assets, liabilities and results of operations, primarily relating to Credit Suisse Services AG, our Swiss service company, with branches in the UK, Singapore and India, and its subsidiary in Poland, are managed as part of the activities of the Group's segments. However, they are legally owned by the Group and are not part of the Bank's consolidated financial statements.

**Capital and leverage metrics**

As of the end of 2022, we reported risk-weighted assets of CHF 54.5 billion, a decrease of CHF 5.4 billion compared to the end of 2021, mainly due to movements in risk levels in credit risk, driven by a decrease in lending exposures and a decrease in equity exposures related to the sale of our investment in Allfunds Group. Leverage exposure of CHF 179.4 billion was CHF 53.9 billion lower compared to the end of 2021, mainly driven by a decrease in high-quality liquid assets (HQLA), reflecting a decrease in cash held at central banks as a result of deposit outflows the Group experienced in the fourth quarter of 2022, and lower business usage.

In 2022, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 3,116 million, compared to a loss of CHF 3,473 million in 2021. Net revenues of CHF 4,607 million decreased 54% compared to 2021, reflecting declines across most businesses due to continued volatile market conditions and the impact of accelerated deleveraging in light of our strategic actions and in response to the Group's significant deposit outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Results summary

**2022 results** 

In 2022, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 3,116 million compared to a loss of CHF 3,473 million in 2021. Net revenues of CHF 4,607 million decreased 54% compared to 2021, primarily driven by significantly lower capital markets and fixed income and equity sales and trading revenues. Market conditions, particularly in capital markets, were characterized by geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty resulting in higher levels of volatility for equity and interest rates, widened credit spreads and high levels of inflation. In addition, results reflected the impact of accelerated deleveraging in light of our strategic actions and in response to the Group's significant deposit outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Fixed income sales and trading revenues decreased 44% compared to 2021, reflecting reduced revenues in securitized products, global credit products and emerging markets, partially offset by higher macro revenues. Equity sales and trading revenues decreased 39%, driven by lower equity derivatives revenues compared to a strong 2021 and lower cash trading volumes, particularly in Asia Pacific and EMEA, partially offset by higher prime services revenues, as 2021 included a loss related to Archegos. Capital markets revenues decreased 79% compared to a strong 2021, reflecting lower issuance activity across products due to challenging market conditions and high levels of volatility. Advisory and other fees decreased 23%, reflecting lower revenues from completed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. In 2022, we recorded a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 84 million compared to provision for credit losses of CHF 4,209 million in 2021, which was driven by a charge of CHF 4,307 million in respect of the failure by Archegos to meet its margin commitments. Total operating expenses of CHF 7,807 million decreased 15% compared to 2021, which included a goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million. Adjusted total operating expenses were stable compared to 2021.

**2021 results**

In 2021, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 3,473 million, driven by a loss of CHF 4,803 million in respect of the failure by Archegos to meet its margin commitments and the goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million. Adjusted income before taxes of CHF 3,217 million increased significantly compared to CHF 2,022 million in 2020. Net revenues of CHF 9,908 million decreased 2% compared to a strong prior year, reflecting lower sales and trading revenues, including a loss of CHF 470 million related to Archegos, partially offset by higher capital markets and advisory activity. Excluding Archegos, net revenues were stable. The year was characterized by constructive market conditions for many of our businesses, including higher underwriting issuance activity, driven by normalized levels of volatility, tightening of spreads and continued low interest rates. Fixed income sales and trading revenues decreased 16% compared to a strong prior year, which benefited from more favorable market conditions, reflecting reduced trading activity in macro, global credit products and emerging markets, partially offset by significantly higher securitized products revenues.

Equity sales and trading revenues decreased 21%, mainly reflecting the loss related to Archegos in prime services. Excluding this loss, revenues decreased 5% compared to a strong 2020, in light of our strategy to resize the prime services franchise, partially offset by significantly higher equity derivatives revenues. Capital markets revenues increased 21%, reflecting strong client activity across equity and debt capital markets, driven by increased issuance activity. Advisory and other fees increased 36%, reflecting higher revenues from completed M&A transactions. Provision for credit losses was CHF 4,209 million in 2021 compared to CHF 588 million in 2020. The provision for credit losses in 2021 was driven by a charge of CHF 4,307 million related to Archegos. Total operating expenses of CHF 9,172 million increased 20%, mainly due to the goodwill impairment charge of CHF 1,623 million. Adjusted total operating expenses decreased 4% compared to 2020. In 2021, we incurred restructuring expenses of CHF 71 million.

**Capital and leverage metrics**

As of the end of 2022, risk-weighted assets of USD 80.2 billion decreased USD 12.0 billion compared to the end of 2021, mainly in credit risk, driven by business reductions primarily related to our strategic actions, including the impact of the substantially completed exit of the prime services franchise, and deleveraging resulting from the significant deposit outflows the Group experienced in the fourth quarter of 2022. As of the end of 2022, leverage exposure of USD 228.8 billion decreased USD 151.5 billion compared to the end of 2021, due to lower HQLA reflecting reductions in cash held at central banks and reductions in non-cash HQLA relating to the significant deposit outflows, mainly in the fourth quarter of 2022, and business reductions, including prime services.

2022 results details

**Fixed income sales and trading**

Fixed income sales and trading revenues of CHF 1,968 million decreased 44% compared to 2021, reflecting reduced revenues in securitized products, global credit products and emerging markets, partially offset by higher macro revenues. Securitized products revenues declined compared to a strong prior year and reflected lower revenues across products as we reduced inventory and announced the sale of a significant portion of the overall portfolio. Global credit products revenues decreased significantly, reflecting lower investment grade and leveraged finance trading revenues as we reduced inventory in light of our strategic actions, partially offset by increased financing revenues. In addition, emerging markets revenues decreased, driven by lower trading and financing revenues across regions. These declines were partially offset by increased macro revenues, reflecting significantly higher revenues in our rates business.

**Equity sales and trading**

Equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 1,091 million decreased 39% compared to 2021, reflecting lower equity derivatives and cash equities results.

In addition, cash equities revenues decreased due to lower secondary trading revenues, particularly in Asia Pacific and the US. This was partially offset by higher prime services revenues compared to a loss of CHF 470 million related to Archegos in prime services in 2021.

**Capital markets**

Capital markets revenues of CHF 756 million decreased 79% compared to a strong 2021, reflecting lower issuance activity across debt and equity capital markets.

performance share awards reflecting the full year divisional loss and forfeitures relating to staff departures, partially offset by increased salary expenses. General and administrative expenses of CHF 3,145 million increased 4%, primarily due to increased litigation expenses, allocated corporate functions costs and professional services fees.

2021 results details

**Fixed income sales and trading**

Macro products revenues decreased significantly, driven by lower revenues in our rates and foreign exchange businesses due to significantly reduced volumes and volatility. In addition, global credit products revenues decreased, mainly reflecting lower investment grade and leverage finance trading activity compared to a strong prior year, which benefited from significantly higher trading volumes and client activity. In addition, emerging markets revenues decreased, driven by reduced structured credit, trading and financing activity across regions. These decreases were partially offset by higher securitized products revenues compared to a strong prior year, reflecting higher non-agency trading activity and increased asset finance revenues, partially offset by lower agency trading activity.

**Equity sales and trading**

Equity sales and trading revenues of CHF 1,792 million decreased 21% compared to 2020, mainly reflecting the loss of CHF 470 million related to Archegos in prime services. Excluding this loss, revenues were stable compared to a strong 2020, in light of our strategy to resize the prime services franchise, partially offset by significantly higher equity derivatives revenues.

These declines were partially offset by significantly higher equity derivatives revenues, reflecting increased structured trading activity.

General and administrative expenses of CHF 3,017 million increased 16%, primarily due to increased litigation provisions, allocated corporate functions costs and professional services fees.

2021 results details

In 2021, we reported income before taxes of CHF 362 million compared to CHF 28 million in 2020. The increase mainly reflected higher net revenues.

**Net revenues** 

Compared to 2020, net revenues of CHF 1,508 million increased 32%. Investment and partnership income of CHF 31 million increased significantly, mainly due to the reduced York impairment. Investment and partnership income in 2021 included the impairment of CHF 113 million to the valuation of our non-controlling interest in York, while 2020 included the impairment of CHF 414 million related to York, partially offset by a gain of CHF 203 million related to the completed transfer of the InvestLab fund platform. Management fees of CHF 1,137 million increased 8%, mainly reflecting higher average assets under management. Performance, transaction and placement revenues of CHF 340 million increased 55%, related to gains on seed money investments in 2021 compared to losses in 2020 and higher placement fees.

**Total operating expenses** 

Total operating expenses of CHF 1,146 million increased 3% compared to 2020, mainly due to higher general and administrative and commission expenses, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits and higher restructuring expenses incurred in 2020. General and administrative expenses of CHF 426 million increased 15%, mainly reflecting increased professional services fees, including those relating to the wind-down and administration of our supply chain finance funds. Compensation and benefits of CHF 603 million decreased 6%, primarily driven by lower discretionary compensation expenses. 2020 included restructuring expenses of CHF 18 million.

Assets under management

As of the end of **2022**, assets under management of CHF 402.4 billion were CHF 74.4 billion lower compared to the end of 2021, mainly reflecting unfavorable market movements and net asset outflows. Net asset outflows of CHF 22.6 billion were driven by outflows from traditional investments, primarily related to outflows in fixed income and equities, and from alternative investments, primarily related to outflows in credit, partially offset by inflows from investments and partnerships, primarily related to an emerging markets joint venture.

As of the end of **2021**, assets under management of CHF 476.8 billion were CHF 36.5 billion higher compared to the end of 2020, driven by favorable market movements and net new assets of CHF 14.6 billion, partially offset by structural effects of CHF 10.5 billion, mainly related to the wind-down of our supply chain finance funds.

Corporate Center

In 2022, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,202 million compared to a loss of CHF 1,714 million in 2021.

Corporate Center composition

Corporate Center includes parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group, including costs associated with the evolution of our legal entity structure to meet developing and future regulatory requirements, and certain other expenses and revenues that have not been allocated to the segments. Corporate Center further includes consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

Treasury results include the impact of volatility in the valuations of certain central funding transactions such as structured notes issuances and swap transactions. Treasury results also include additional interest charges from transfer pricing to align funding costs to assets held in the Corporate Center and legacy funding costs. The Asset Resolution Unit is separately presented within our Corporate Center disclosures, including related asset funding costs. Certain activities not linked to the underlying portfolio, such as legacy funding costs, legacy litigation expenses, a specific client compliance function and noncontrolling interests without significant economic interest are recorded in the Corporate Center and are not reflected in the Asset Resolution Unit. Other revenues primarily include required elimination adjustments associated with trading in own shares, treasury commissions charged to divisions, the cost of certain hedging transactions executed in connection with the Group's RWA and valuation hedging impacts from long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.

Compensation and benefits include fair value adjustments on certain deferred compensation plans not allocated to the segments and fair value adjustments on certain other long-dated legacy deferred compensation and retirement programs mainly relating to former employees.

**2021 results** 

In 2021, we reported a loss before taxes of CHF 1,714 million compared to a loss of CHF 1,992 million in 2020. We reported negative net revenues of CHF 67 million in 2021, primarily driven by negative treasury results and the Asset Resolution Unit. Total operating expenses of CHF 1,655 million decreased 7% compared to 2020, mainly reflecting lower compensation and benefits and lower general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses included litigation expenses of CHF 1,148 million.

**Capital and leverage metrics**

As of the end of 2022, we reported RWA of CHF 44.4 billion, a decrease of CHF 1.9 billion compared to the end of 2021, primarily driven by movements in risk levels in credit risk, mainly due to the impact of the valuation allowance relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review, partially offset by an increase in internal model and parameter updates in operational risk, mainly related to updates to our advanced measurement approach model to reflect increased litigation provisions. Leverage exposure was CHF 37.0 billion as of the end of 2022, a decrease of CHF 20.8 billion compared to the end of 2021, mainly reflecting a change in the presentation of securities lending and borrowing transactions as a single unit of account, decreased reverse repurchase transactions and reductions in treasury exposures.

Assets under management

As of the end of 2022, assets under management were CHF 1,293.6 billion, 19.9% lower compared to the end of 2021, with net asset outflows of CHF 123.2 billion.

Assets under management

Assets under management comprise assets that are placed with us for investment purposes and include discretionary and advisory counterparty assets. Discretionary assets are assets for which the client fully transfers the discretionary power to a Credit Suisse entity with a management mandate. Discretionary assets are reported in the business in which the advice is provided as well as in the business in which the investment decisions take place. Assets managed by the Asset Management division for other businesses are reported in each applicable business and eliminated at the Group level. Advisory assets include assets placed with us where the client is provided access to investment advice but retains discretion over investment decisions.

Assets under management and net new assets include assets managed by consolidated entities, joint ventures and strategic participations. Assets from joint ventures and participations are counted in proportion to our share in the respective entity.

Net new assets

Net new assets include individual cash payments, delivery of securities and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments.

Interest and dividend income credited to clients and commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services as well as changes in assets under management due to currency and market volatility are not taken into account when calculating net new assets. Any such changes are not directly related to the Group's success in acquiring assets under management. Similarly structural effects mainly relate to asset inflows and outflows due to acquisition or divestiture, exit from businesses or markets or exits due to new regulatory requirements and are not taken into account when calculating net new assets. The Group reviews relevant policies regarding client assets on a regular basis.

**2022 results** 

As of the end of 2022, assets under management of CHF 1,293.6 billion decreased CHF 320.4 billion compared to the end of 2021. The decrease was mainly driven by unfavorable market movements of CHF 165.9 billion, net asset outflows of CHF 123.2 billion and structural effects. Structural effects included certain de-risking measures, outflows and reclassifications of CHF 17.6 billion related to the sanctions imposed in connection with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Net asset outflows of CHF 123.2 billion in 2022 mainly reflected outflows across the following businesses. Net asset outflows of CHF 95.7 billion in Wealth Management were driven by outflows across all regions and reflected the significant outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net asset outflows of CHF 22.6 billion in Asset Management were driven by outflows from traditional investments, primarily related to outflows in fixed income and equities, and from alternative investments, primarily related to outflows in credit, partially offset by inflows from investments and partnerships, primarily related to an emerging markets joint venture. Net asset outflows of CHF 5.4 billion in Swiss Bank reflected outflows in the private clients business, partially offset by inflows in the institutional clients business.

**2021 results**

As of the end of 2021, assets under management were CHF 1,614.0 billion, an increase of CHF 102.1 billion compared to the end of 2020. The increase was driven by favorable market movements, net new assets of CHF 30.9 billion and favorable foreign exchange-related movements, partially offset by structural effects. Structural effects included CHF 11.2 billion related to the SCFF matter, of which CHF 7.9 billion related to the wind-down of our supply chain finance funds, reflected in Asset Management, and CHF 3.3 billion related to the reclassification to assets under custody for our clients' assets that were impacted by the suspension and ongoing liquidation of these funds, reflected in our wealth management businesses. Structural effects also reflected the strategic decision to exit substantially all of our prime services businesses.

Net new assets of CHF 30.9 billion in 2021 mainly reflected inflows across the following businesses. Net new assets of CHF 14.6 billion in Asset Management were mainly driven by inflows from investments and partnerships, primarily related to an emerging markets joint venture, and traditional investments, primarily related to index solutions. Net new assets of CHF 10.5 billion in Wealth Management mainly reflected inflows from coverage areas Latin America, External Asset Managers and Europe. Net new assets of CHF 5.9 billion in Swiss Bank reflected inflows across all client segments.

Critical accounting estimates

In order to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make certain accounting estimates to ascertain the value of assets and liabilities. These estimates are based upon judgment and the information available at the time, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and consistently applied.

We believe that the critical accounting estimates discussed below involve the most complex judgments and assessments.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" and "Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on significant accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements. For financial information relating to the Bank, refer to the corresponding notes in the consolidated financial statements of the Bank.

Fair value

A significant portion of our financial instruments is carried at fair value. The fair value of the majority of these financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets or observable inputs.

In addition, we hold financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and judgment, depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. These instruments include certain OTC derivatives including interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and credit derivatives, certain corporate equity-linked securities, mortgage-related securities, private equity investments and certain loans and credit products, including leveraged finance, certain syndicated loans, certain high yield bonds and life finance instruments.

Control processes are applied to ensure that the fair values of the financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements, including those derived from pricing models, are appropriate and determined on a reasonable basis.

> Refer to "Note 36 – Financial instruments" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

Variable interest entities

As a normal part of our business, we engage in various transactions, which include entities that are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). VIEs are special purpose entities that typically either lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support or are structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. Such entities are required to be assessed for consolidation, compelling the primary beneficiary to consolidate the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economics of the VIE and has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. We consolidate all VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. Application of the requirements for consolidation of VIEs may require the exercise of significant judgment.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" and "Note 35 – Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on VIEs.

Contingencies and loss provisions

A contingency is an existing condition that involves a degree of uncertainty that will ultimately be resolved upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events.

**Litigation contingencies**

We are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. We accrue loss contingency litigation provisions and take a charge to income in connection with certain proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. We also accrue litigation provisions for the estimated fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers in relation to such proceedings, including in cases for which we have not accrued a loss contingency provision. We accrue these fee and expense litigation provisions and take a charge to income in connection therewith when such fees and expenses are probable and reasonably estimable. We review our legal proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of our litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management's judgment and the advice of counsel. This review includes consideration of management's strategy for resolution of matters through settlement or trial, as well as changes in such strategy. The establishment of additional provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such proceedings warrant.

It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of our legal proceedings. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of counsel, our defenses and our experience in similar matters, as well as our assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations, many of which are complex, must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges

of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding. We do not believe that we can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of our proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. Most matters pending against us seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent our reasonably possible losses.

> Refer to "Note 40 – Litigation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on legal proceedings.

**Allowance and provision for credit losses**

US GAAP requires the measurement of current expected credit losses (CECL) for financial assets held at amortized cost as of the reporting date over the remaining contractual life (considering the effect of prepayments) based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, including macroeconomic scenarios. Expected credit losses are not solely derived from macroeconomic factors (MEFs) projections. Model overlays based on expert judgment are also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews, and primarily impacting certain corporate and institutional loans portfolios. Such overlays are designed to address circumstances where in management's judgment the CECL model outputs are overly sensitive to the effect of economic inputs that exhibit significant deviation from their long-term historical averages. Overlays may also be used to capture judgment on the economic uncertainty from global or regional developments with severe impacts on economies.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" and "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Current expected credit loss**

The determination of expected credit losses across all categories of financial assets held at amortized cost requires judgment, the estimation of the amount, timing of future cash flows and collateral. The Group's CECL calculations are outputs of complex statistical models and expert judgment overlays with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies.

For non-impaired credit exposures, the model parameters are based on internally and externally compiled data comprising both quantitative and qualitative factors and are tailored to various categories and exposures. The CECL measurement has three main inputs: probability of default (PD), loss given default and exposure at default.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for details on the most significant of these inputs, the probability of default input.

The estimation of these parameters include the expected macroeconomic environment, the contractual maturities of exposures, historical data considering portfolio-specific factors, differences in product structure, collateral types, seniority of the claim, counterparty industry and recovery costs of any collateral that is integral to the financial asset.

There is significant judgment involved in the estimation and application of forward-looking information, including macroeconomic scenarios. The Group's estimation of expected credit losses is based on a discounted estimate that considers future macroeconomic scenarios that are probability-weighted according to the best estimate of their relative likelihood. This estimate is based on historical frequency, current trends and conditions and MEFs such as regional gross domestic product, unemployment rates and interest rates.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for details on macroeconomic factor inputs and the reasonable and supportable forecast period for these macroeconomic factors.

The expected credit loss is sensitive to the changing of scenario weights. As shown in the table below, the expected credit loss would have been CHF 493 million instead of CHF 690 million if determined solely on the baseline scenario. The effects of weighting each of the three scenarios 100% are shown in the table below. There is a high degree of estimation uncertainty in numbers representing more extreme risk scenarios when assigned a 100% weighting. The reported expected credit loss amount of CHF 690 million includes certain portfolios which are not derived via the consideration of multiple weighted scenarios.

Our expected credit loss models for non-impaired positions, which are based upon supportable statistical information from past experiences regarding interdependencies of MEFs and their implications for credit risk portfolios, may not comprehensively reflect extraordinary events, such as a pandemic or a fundamental change in the world political order. Model output

is reviewed monthly on a model-by-model basis to determine whether the applied overlays are appropriate and necessary. Different overlay methodologies are adopted depending upon the type of model but typically deploy either a scaling of PD output to a more stressed historical period or alternatively adjusting the reserve to a more appropriate stressed level, taking into account forward looking as well as historical information in all instances. Group management applies a significant quantum of model overlays. These adjustments amounted to 22% of the Group's non-impaired expected credit losses as of December 31, 2022. On an individual divisional basis, the proportion of adjustments can range from as little as (3)% to as much as 53%. Post-model overlayed PDs are backtested quarterly against the trailing twelve-month default rate to confirm appropriateness. These overlays may be considered for removal when the underlying models have displayed a level of stability based upon pre-established thresholds over a three-month period.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for details on how macroeconomic factors are considered in overlay calibration.

For credit-impaired financial assets, the expected credit losses are measured using the present value of estimated future cash flows (unless a practical expedient for collateral-dependent financial assets is applied), and the impaired credit exposures and related allowances are revalued to reflect the passage of time.

Expected credit losses for individually impaired credit exposures are measured by performing an in-depth review and analysis, considering factors such as recovery and exit options as well as collateral and the risk profile of the borrower. The individual measurement of expected credit losses for impaired financial assets also considers reasonable and supportable forward-looking information that is relevant to the individual counterparty (idiosyncratic information) and reflective of the macroeconomic environment that the borrower is exposed to, apart from any historical loss information and current conditions. If there are different scenarios relevant for the individual expected credit loss measurement, they are considered on a probability-weighted basis.

Goodwill impairment

Under US GAAP, goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable.

For the purpose of testing goodwill for impairment, each reporting unit is assessed individually. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, also referred to as a component. A component of an operating segment is deemed to be a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results of that component.

Effective January 1, 2022, the Group was organized into four reporting units – Wealth Management, Investment Bank, Swiss Bank and Asset Management.

Subsequent to the creation of the new segment structure, effective January 1, 2022, a portion of the Wealth Management business was transferred to the Investment Bank in the second quarter of 2022. Goodwill is reallocated between reporting units on a relative fair value basis. The Group concluded that the goodwill transferred to the Investment Bank reporting unit of CHF 23 million was fully impaired.

On October 27, 2022, the Group announced an updated strategy. This announcement required a reassessment of the segment structure and an assessment to determine whether goodwill balances from the previous reporting units should be reallocated to the new reporting units on a relative fair value basis. It was concluded in the third quarter of 2022 that no material goodwill reallocation was required.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Group is organized into five reporting units - Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management, Investment Bank and the Capital Release Unit.

Under US GAAP, a qualitative assessment is permitted to evaluate whether a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value. If on the basis of the qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the reporting unit's fair value is higher than its carrying value, no quantitative goodwill impairment test is required. If on the basis of the qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the reporting unit's fair value is lower than its carrying value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test must be performed to identify the existence and the amount of an impairment loss, if any. The qualitative assessment is intended to be a simplification of the annual impairment test and can be bypassed for any reporting unit and any period to proceed directly to performing the quantitative goodwill impairment test. When bypassing the qualitative assessment in any period, the preparation of a qualitative assessment can be resumed in any subsequent period. It is the Group's current practice to bypass the qualitative assessment.

In addition to the annual goodwill impairment test, interim assessments are performed by the Group to identify possible triggering events – that is, the occurrence of events and changes in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such triggering events include, but are not limited to: (i) macroeconomic conditions such as a deterioration in general economic conditions or other developments in equity and credit markets; (ii) industry and market considerations such as a deterioration in the environment in which the entity operates, an increased competitive environment, a decline in market-dependent multiples or metrics (considered in both absolute terms and relative to peers), and regulatory

or political developments; (iii) other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management, key personnel or strategy; (iv) a more-likely-than-not expectation of selling or disposing of all, or a portion, of a reporting unit; (v) results of testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; (vi) recognition of a goodwill impairment in the financial statements of a subsidiary that is a component of a reporting unit; and (vii) a sustained decrease in share price (considered in both absolute terms and relative to peers).

In accordance with the current practice of the Group, or if deemed necessary based on the Group's qualitative assessment, or upon identification of a triggering event, a quantitative impairment test is performed by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that amount to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is no goodwill impairment. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, there is a goodwill impairment. The goodwill impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the reporting unit up to a maximum of the goodwill amount recorded in that reporting unit.

The carrying value of each reporting unit for the purpose of the goodwill impairment test is determined by considering the reporting units' risk-weighted assets usage, leverage ratio exposure, deferred tax assets, goodwill, intangible assets and other CET1 capital relevant adjustments. The residual value between the total of these elements and the Group's shareholders' equity is allocated to the carrying value of the reporting units on a pro-rata basis. As of December 31, 2022, this residual value was a credit of CHF 2,423 million.

In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, the Group applied a combination of the market approach and the income approach. Under the market approach, consideration was given to price to projected earnings multiples and price to book value multiples for similarly traded companies and prices paid in recent transactions that have occurred in its industry or in related industries. Under the income approach, a discount rate was applied that reflects the risk and uncertainty related to the reporting unit's projected cash flows, which were determined from the Group's financial plan.

In determining the estimated fair value, the Group relied upon its latest five-year financial plan, which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on its view of current and future economic conditions and regulatory changes.

Estimates of the Group's future earnings potential, and that of the reporting units, involve considerable judgment, including management's view on future changes in market cycles, the regulatory environment and the anticipated result of the implementation of business strategies, competitive factors and assumptions concerning the retention of key employees.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Group determined that the adverse market and economic conditions arising from Russia's invasion of Ukraine constituted a triggering event for the first quarter of 2022 impacting all reporting units of the Group. Based on its goodwill impairment analysis performed, the Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill exceeded their related carrying values and no impairments were necessary as of March 31, 2022.

Besides the transfer of a portion of the Wealth Management business to the Investment Bank, there were no other events in the second quarter of 2022 that constituted a triggering event.

The announcement on October 27, 2022 of the strategy and organizational changes as well as adverse market and economic conditions represent triggering events for the third quarter of 2022 for goodwill impairment testing purposes, and under US GAAP, goodwill has to be tested for impairment both before and immediately after a reorganization of reporting units. Based on its goodwill impairment analysis performed, the Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill exceeded their related carrying values and no impairments were necessary as of September 30, 2022. The fair value of the Asset Management reporting unit exceeded its related carrying value by only 12%. The goodwill for the Asset Management reporting unit became more sensitive to an impairment due to the higher cost of equity in the third quarter of 2022.

The review of the Group's five-year financial plan to reflect the announced strategy was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill exceeded their related carrying values and no further impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2022.

The fair values of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units both exceeded their related carrying values by less than 10%. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse experienced a significant level of deposit and assets under management outflows. The goodwill allocated to these reporting units became more sensitive to an impairment due to these outflows and subdued client activity. There is a significant risk of a future goodwill impairment for these reporting units if their future performances do not achieve the financial projections contained within the five-year financial plan.

As a result of the announced strategy and organizational changes, the Private Fund Group business in the Asset Management reporting unit was transferred to the Investment Bank reporting unit effective January 1, 2023, resulting in an initial transfer of approximately CHF 30 million of goodwill between the reporting units. The Group expects a full impairment in the first quarter of 2023 of the goodwill transferred to the Investment Bank.

As a result of the previously announced acquisition of The Klein Group LLC that is expected to close in the first half of 2023, the Investment Bank will initially recognize a goodwill balance

of approximately CHF 60 million, which it expects to fully impair upon the closing of the acquisition.

The results of the impairment evaluation of each reporting unit's goodwill would be significantly impacted by adverse changes in the underlying parameters used in the valuation process. If actual outcomes or the future outlook adversely differ from management's best estimates of the key economic assumptions and associated cash flows applied in the valuation of the reporting unit, the Group could potentially incur material impairment charges in the future.

Taxes

**Uncertainty of income tax positions**

We follow the income tax guidance under US GAAP, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain income tax positions.

Significant judgment is required in determining whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Further judgment is required to determine the amount of benefit eligible for recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

> Refer to "Note 29 – Tax" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on income tax positions.

**Deferred tax valuation allowances**

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards and temporary differences between the carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets.

The realization of deferred tax assets on temporary differences is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The realization of deferred tax assets on NOLs is dependent upon the generation of taxable income during the periods prior to their expiration, if applicable. Management regularly evaluates whether deferred tax assets will be realized. If management considers it more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a corresponding valuation allowance is established. In evaluating whether deferred tax assets will be realized, management considers both positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, which can be scheduled, and tax planning strategies.

This evaluation requires significant management judgment, primarily with respect to projected taxable income. Future taxable income can never be predicted with certainty. It is derived from budgets and strategic business plans but is dependent on numerous factors, some of which are beyond management's control. Substantial variance of actual results from estimated future taxable profits, or changes in our estimate of future taxable profits and potential restructurings, could lead to changes in deferred tax assets being realizable, or considered realizable, and would require a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance.

As part of its normal practice, management has conducted a detailed evaluation of its expected future results and has also considered stress scenarios. This evaluation has indicated the expected future results that are likely to be earned in jurisdictions where the Group has significant gross deferred tax assets, such as the US, Switzerland and the UK. Management then compared those expected future results with the applicable law governing utilization of deferred tax assets. Based on the expected future results in the Bank parent company and given that the Swiss tax law allows for a seven-year carry-forward period for NOLs, a valuation allowance is still required on the deferred tax assets of this entity. UK tax law allows for an unlimited carry-forward period for NOLs, while US tax law allows for a 20-year carry-forward period for NOLs arising prior to 2017, federal NOLs generated in the tax years 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back for five years and no expiry limitations for NOLs that arose in 2018 and subsequent years. However, unlimited and long expiry limitations for NOLs are not expected to have a material impact on the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets as management concluded that there was limited recoverability of the net deferred tax assets in the US and the UK as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, primarily due to limited future taxable income against which deferred tax assets could be utilized.

> Refer to "Note 29 – Tax" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on deferred tax assets.

Pension plans

**The Group**

The Group covers pension requirements, in both Swiss and non-Swiss locations, through various defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans.

Our funding policy with respect to these pension plans is consistent with local government and tax requirements.

The Group accounts for the Group plan as a single-employer defined benefit pension plan and uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the net periodic benefit costs, projected benefit obligation (PBO), accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and the related amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The calculation of the expense and liability associated with the defined benefit pension plans requires an extensive use of assumptions, which include the discount rate, expected return on plan assets and rate of future compensation increases. Management determines these assumptions based upon currently available market and industry data and historical experience of the plans. Management also consults with

an independent actuarial firm to assist in selecting appropriate assumptions and valuing its related liabilities. Management regularly reviews the actuarial assumptions used to value and measure the defined benefit obligation on a periodic basis as required by US GAAP. The actuarial assumptions that we use may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions and specific experience of the plans (such as investment management over or underperformance, higher or lower withdrawal rates and longer or shorter life spans of the participants). Any such differences could have a significant impact on the amount of pension expense recorded in future years.

The funded status of our defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The impacts from re-measuring the funded status (reflected in actuarial gains or losses) and from amending the plan (reflected in prior service cost or credits) are recognized in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI).

The PBO of our total defined benefit pension plans included CHF 272 million and CHF 811 million related to our assumption for future salary increases as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The ABO is defined as the PBO less the amount related to estimated future salary increases. The difference between the fair value of plan assets and the ABO was an overfunding of CHF 4,237 million for 2022, compared to CHF 4,822 million for 2021.

We are required to estimate the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, which is then used to compute benefit costs recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Estimating future returns on plan assets is particularly subjective, as the estimate requires an assessment of possible future market returns based on the plan asset mix. In calculating pension expense and in determining the expected long-term rate of return, we use the market-related value of assets. The assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation as of the measurement date are also used to calculate the net periodic benefit costs for the 12-month period following this date.

The expected weighted-average long-term rate of return used to determine the expected return on plan assets as a component of the net periodic benefit costs in 2022 and 2021 was 2.50% for the Swiss plan and 2.01% and 1.79%, respectively, for the international plans. In 2022, if the expected long-term rate of return had been increased/decreased one percentage point, net pension expense for the Swiss plan would have decreased/increased CHF 176 million and net pension expense for the international plans would have decreased/increased CHF 34 million.

The discount rates used in determining the benefit obligation and the pension expense are based on yield curves, constructed from high-quality corporate bonds currently available and observable in the market and are expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. In countries where there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds with longer durations, the best available market information is used to construct the yield curve. Credit Suisse uses the spot rate approach for determining the benefit obligation and for service and interest cost components of the pension expense for future years. Under the spot rate approach, individual spot rates along the yield curve are applied to each expected future benefit payment.

For the Swiss plan, the weighted average discount rate for the PBO increased 1.58 percentage points, from 0.56% as of December 31, 2021 to 2.14% as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to an increase in Swiss bond market rates. The average discount rate for the PBO for the international plans increased 2.62 percentage points, from 2.15% as of December 31, 2021 to 4.77% as of December 31, 2022, mainly due to an increase in bond market rates. For the year ended December 31, 2022, a one percentage point decline in the discount rates for the Swiss plan would have resulted in an increase in the PBO of CHF 1,717 million and an increase in pension expense of CHF 135 million, and a one percentage point increase in discount rates would have resulted in a decrease in the PBO of CHF 1,388 million and a decrease in the pension expense of CHF 118 million. A one percentage point decline in discount rates for the international plans as of December 31, 2022 would have resulted in an increase in the PBO of CHF 297 million and a decrease in pension expense of CHF 4 million, and a one percentage point increase in discount rates would have resulted in a decrease in the PBO of CHF 239 million and an increase in the pension expense of CHF 8 million.

Actuarial gains and losses recognized in AOCI are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan, which, as of December 31, 2022, was approximately 8 years for the Swiss plan and 3 to 20 years for the international plans. For plans where there are very few active members, actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants. Prior service cost recognized in AOCI are amortized over the remaining service period of the employees affected by the plan amendment. The pre-tax expense associated with the amortization of net actuarial losses and prior service cost for defined benefit pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was CHF 202 million, CHF 249 million and CHF 181 million, respectively. The impact from deviations between our actuarial assumptions and the actual developments of such parameters observed for our pension plans further impacts the amount of net actuarial losses or gains recognized in equity, resulting in a higher or lower amount of amortization expense in periods after 2023.

**The Bank**

The Bank covers pension requirements for its employees in Switzerland through participation in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Group (Group plan). Various legal entities within the Group participate in the Group plan, which is set up as an independent trust domiciled in Zurich. The Group accounts for the Group plan as a single-employer defined benefit pension plan

and uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the net periodic pension expense, PBO, ABO and the related amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The funded status of the Group plan is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. The actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs or credits are recognized in equity as a component of AOCI.

The Bank accounts for the Group plan on a defined contribution basis whereby it only recognizes the amounts required to be contributed to the Group plan during the period as net periodic pension expense and only recognizes a liability for any contributions due and unpaid. No other expense or balance sheet amounts related to the Group plan are recognized by the Bank.

The Bank covers pension requirements for its employees in international locations through participation in various pension plans, which are accounted for as single-employer defined benefit pension plans or defined contribution pension plans.

In 2022 and 2021, the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return used to calculate the expected return on plan assets as a component of the net periodic benefit costs for the international single-employer defined benefit pension plans was 2.01% and 1.79%, respectively. In 2022, if the expected long-term rate of return had been increased/decreased one percentage point, net pension expense would have decreased/increased CHF 34 million.

The discount rate used in determining the benefit obligation is based on high-quality corporate bond rates. The average discount rate for the PBO for the international plans increased 2.62 percentage points, from 2.13% as of December 31, 2021 to 4.75% as of December 31, 2022. A one percentage point decline in the discount rate for the international single-employer plans as of December 31, 2022 would have resulted in an increase in PBO of CHF 296 million and a decrease in pension expense of CHF 4 million, and a one percentage point increase in discount rates would have resulted in a decrease in PBO of CHF 238 million and an increase in pension expense of CHF 8 million.

Actuarial gains and losses recognized in AOCI are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. For plans where there are very few active members, actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants. Prior service cost recognized in AOCI are amortized over the remaining service period of the employees affected by the plan amendment. The pre-tax expense associated with the amortization of recognized net actuarial losses and prior service cost for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was CHF 10 million, CHF 15 million and CHF 14 million, respectively.

Liquidity and funding management

Our liquidity and funding is driven by business activity levels and the overall operating environment.

Liquidity management

We primarily focus our issuance strategy on offering long-term debt securities at the Group level for funding and capital purposes. We also issue short and medium-term debt securities at the Bank level for funding diversification. Our primary source of liquidity is funding through consolidated entities. Proceeds from issuances are lent to operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed; the latter typically to meet going and gone concern capital requirements and the former as desired by management to support business initiatives and liquidity needs.

Our liquidity and funding strategy is approved by the Group's Capital Allocation and Liability Management Committee (Group CALMC) and overseen by the Board of Directors. The implementation and execution of the liquidity and funding strategy is managed by Treasury. The global liquidity group within Treasury centralizes control of liability and collateral management with the aim of optimizing our liquidity sourcing, funding costs and high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) portfolio. Treasury ensures adherence to our funding policy and the global liquidity group is focused on the efficient coordination of the short-term unsecured and secured funding desks. This approach enhances our ability to manage potential liquidity and funding risks and to promptly adjust our liquidity and funding levels to meet stress situations. Our liquidity and funding profile is regularly reported to Group CALMC and the Board of Directors, who define our risk tolerance, including liquidity risk, and set parameters for the balance sheet and funding usage of our businesses. The Board of Directors is responsible for defining our overall risk tolerance in the form of a risk appetite statement.

Our liquidity and funding profile reflects our strategy and risk appetite and is driven by business activity levels and the overall operating environment. We continuously adapt our liquidity and funding profile to reflect changes in our business strategy and regulatory developments. We have been an active participant in regulatory and industry forums to promote best practice standards on quantitative and qualitative liquidity management. Our internal liquidity risk management framework is subject to review and monitoring by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA), other regulators and rating agencies.

**Regulatory framework**

**BIS liquidity framework**

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) established the Basel framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. The Basel framework includes a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and a net stable funding ratio (NSFR). Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks.

The LCR addresses liquidity risk over a 30-day period. The LCR aims to ensure that banks have unencumbered HQLA available to meet short-term liquidity needs under a severe stress scenario. The LCR is comprised of two components, the value of HQLA in stressed conditions and the total net cash outflows calculated according to specified scenario parameters. Under the BCBS framework, the minimum required ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows is 100%.

The NSFR establishes criteria for a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity of a bank's on- and off-balance sheet activities over a one-year horizon. The NSFR is a complementary measure to the LCR and is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The NSFR is defined as the ratio of available stable funding over the amount of required stable funding and should always be at least 100%.

**Swiss liquidity requirements**

The Swiss Federal Council adopted a liquidity ordinance (Liquidity Ordinance) that implements Basel liquidity requirements into Swiss law. Under the Liquidity Ordinance, banks are subject to a minimum LCR requirement of 100% at all times and the associated disclosure requirements.

Since July 1, 2021, under the Liquidity Ordinance, banks are subject to a minimum NSFR requirement of 100% at all times and the associated disclosure requirements. Based on the Liquidity Ordinance, Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company) is allowed to fulfill the minimum NSFR of 100% by taking into consideration any excess funding of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG on a stand-alone basis, and the Bank parent company has an NSFR requirement of at least 80% without taking into consideration any such excess funding. Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG must always fulfill the NSFR of at least 100% on a stand-alone basis.

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for additional information.

Our liquidity principles and our liquidity risk management framework as agreed with FINMA are in line with the Basel liquidity framework.

Regulatory developments

On June 3, 2022, the Swiss Federal Council adopted amendments to the Liquidity Ordinance which are expected to enhance the current liquidity requirements for systemically important banks in Switzerland, such as Credit Suisse. The revision is intended to ensure that systemically important banks in Switzerland hold sufficient liquidity to absorb liquidity shocks and cover their liquidity requirements in the event of restructuring or liquidation. It includes additional liquidity requirements, which consider liquidity risks over a 90-day time horizon that are not covered or not sufficiently covered by the 30-day stress scenario of the LCR. The additional liquidity requirements shall be covered by eligible assets, which include, but are not limited to, available HQLA over and above the LCR requirements and a certain portion of mortgage receivables that are eligible collateral under the SNB emergency liquidity assistance. The amended Liquidity Ordinance came into force on July 1, 2022 and will be applicable on January 1, 2024. The revised Liquidity Ordinance will not require any external disclosure of the revised special liquidity requirements for systemically important banks.

In November 2022, the Swiss Federal Council enacted the revised Federal Act on Banks and Savings Institutions (Bank Law) and the revised Federal Ordinance on Banks and Savings Institutions (Banking Ordinance), as well as certain other ordinances, effective as of January 1, 2023, subject to certain transitional arrangements. The amendments relate to the resolvability and resolution provisions for banks and allow FINMA to impose a specific surcharge to liquidity requirements if FINMA identifies obstacles to estimating the required liquidity for the resolvability and resolution of a Swiss systemically important bank operating internationally and if a bank does not remediate such obstacles within a reasonable timeframe as determined by FINMA. Among other changes, the revised Bank Law aims to strengthen the Swiss deposit insurance program by specifying the requirements to ensure that in the event of insolvency, insured deposits are paid out to the depositors within seven business days, with the requirement subject to implementation no later than January 1, 2028. Under the revised program, among other changes, the jointly guaranteed amount is now determined as 1.6% of all protected deposits. The amendments also require systemically important banks to deposit collateral equal to 50% of the Bank's deposit insurance contribution amount in the form of HQLA securities or Swiss francs with a secure third-party custodian. Banks will need to comply with this collateralization requirement by the end of November 2023. The reduction in HQLA securities or Swiss francs provided as collateral under the Swiss deposit insurance program due to this new requirement will be partially compensated by a reduced outflow factor applied to the Bank's deposit insurance contribution amount.

> Refer to "Capital management" for additional information on changes related to capital requirements.

Liquidity risk management

**Our approach to liquidity risk management** 

Our liquidity and funding policy is designed to ensure that funding is available to meet all obligations in times of stress, whether caused by market events or issues specific to Credit Suisse. To address short-term liquidity stress, we maintain a liquidity pool, as described below, that covers unexpected outflows in the event of severe market and idiosyncratic stress. Our liquidity risk parameters reflect various liquidity stress assumptions. We manage our liquidity profile at a sufficient level such that, in the event we are unable to access unsecured funding, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to sustain operations for a period of time in excess of our minimum limit. This includes potential currency mismatches, which are not deemed to be a major risk but are monitored and subject to limits, particularly in the significant currencies of euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Swiss franc and US dollar.

We use the LCR, the NSFR and the internal liquidity barometer to monitor our liquidity position and plan funding. Our internal liquidity barometer is used to manage liquidity to internal targets and as a basis to model both Credit Suisse-specific and market-wide stress scenarios and their impact on liquidity and funding, but also to quantify our internal buffer above regulatory liquidity metrics such as those related to the LCR. Our internal barometer framework supports the management of our funding structure. It allows us to manage the time horizon over which the stressed market value of unencumbered assets (including cash) exceeds the aggregate value of contractual outflows of unsecured liabilities plus a conservative forecast of anticipated contingent commitments. This internal barometer framework enables us to manage liquidity to a desired profile under a Credit Suisse-specific or market-wide stress that permits us to continue business activities for a period of time (also known as a liquidity horizon) without changing business plans. Under this framework, we also have short-term targets based on additional stress scenarios to ensure uninterrupted liquidity for short time frames.

We allocate the majority of the balance sheet usage related to our Treasury-managed HQLA portfolio to the business divisions to allow for a more efficient management of their business activities from an overall Group perspective with respect to LCR and Swiss leverage requirements.

Our overall liquidity management framework allows us to run stress analyses on our balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

■ A multiple-notch downgrade in the Bank's long-term debt credit ratings, which would require additional funding as a result of certain contingent off-balance sheet obligations;

■ Significant withdrawals from private banking client deposits;

■ Potential cash outflows associated with the prime brokerage business;

■ Over-collateralization of available secured funding;

■ Limited availability ofcapital markets, certificates of deposit and commercial paper;

■ Other money market access will be significantly reduced;

■ A reduction in funding value of unencumbered assets;

■ The inaccessibility of assets held by subsidiaries due to regulatory, operational and other constraints;

■ The possibility of providing non-contractual liquidity support in times of market stress, including purchasing our unsecured debt;

■ Monitoring the concentration in sources of wholesale funding and thus encourage funding diversification;

■ Monitoring the composition and analysis of the unencumbered assets;

■ Restricted availability of foreign currency swap markets; and

■ Other scenarios as deemed necessary from time to time.

**Governance** 

Funding, liquidity, capital and our foreign exchange exposures are managed centrally by Treasury. Oversight of these activities is provided by Group CALMC, a committee that includes the chief executive officers (CEOs) of the Group and the divisions, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and the Treasurer.

It is Group CALMC's responsibility to review the capital position, balance sheet development, current and prospective funding, interest rate risk and foreign exchange exposure and to define and monitor adherence to internal risk limits. Group CALMC regularly reviews the methodology and assumptions of our liquidity risk management framework and determines the liquidity horizon to be maintained.

All liquidity stress tests are coordinated and overseen by the CRO to ensure a consistent and coordinated approach across all risk disciplines.

**Contingency funding planning**

In the event of a liquidity crisis, our Contingency Funding Plan provides for specific actions to be taken depending on the nature of the crisis. Our plan is designed to address ever-increasing liquidity and funding stresses and has pre-defined escalation levels aimed at maximizing the likelihood that we can take certain measures to address liquidity or funding shortfalls. In order to identify a deteriorating liquidity situation, we monitor a set of regulatory and economic liquidity metrics while also seeking the views of our subject matter experts as well as Group and entity senior management, who retain at all times the authority to take remedial actions promptly. In all cases, the plan's primary objectives are to strengthen liquidity (immediate), reduce funding needs (medium term) and assess recovery options (longer term).

**Liquidity metrics**

**Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, during early fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. However, as the quarter progressed, these outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed by year end. While these outflows led us to partially utilize liquidity buffers at the Group and legal entity level, and we fell below certain legal entity-level regulatory requirements, the core requirements of the LCR and the NSFR at the Group level were maintained at all times.

> Refer to "Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022" in II - Operating and financial review - Credit Suisse – Other Information for further information.

**Liquidity pool** 

Treasury manages a sizeable portfolio of HQLA comprised of cash held at central banks and securities. A portion of the liquidity pool is generated through reverse repurchase agreements with top-rated counterparties. We are mindful of potential credit risk and therefore focus our liquidity holdings strategy on cash held at central banks and highly rated government bonds and on short-term reverse repurchase agreements. These government bonds are eligible as collateral for liquidity facilities with various central banks including the Swiss National Bank (SNB), the US Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England. Our direct exposure on these bonds is limited to highly liquid, top-rated sovereign entities or fully guaranteed agencies of sovereign entities. The liquidity pool may be used to meet the liquidity requirements of our operating companies. All securities, including those obtained from reverse repurchase agreements, are subject to a stress level haircut in our barometer to reflect the risk that emergency funding may not be available at market value in a stress scenario.

We centrally manage this liquidity pool and hold it at our main operating entities. Holding securities in these entities ensures that we can make liquidity and funding available to local entities in need without delay.

As of December 31, 2022, our liquidity pool managed by Treasury and the global liquidity group had an average HQLA value of CHF 118.5 billion, compared to CHF 229.9 billion as of the end of 2021, reflecting the significant decrease in cash deposits and non-renewal of maturing time deposits during early fourth quarter of 2022. The liquidity pool consisted of CHF 62.3 billion of cash held at major central banks, primarily the SNB, the Fed and the ECB, and CHF 56.2 billion market value of securities issued by governments and government agencies, primarily from the US and the UK.

In addition to the above-mentioned liquidity pool, there is also a portfolio of unencumbered liquid assets managed by the businesses, primarily in the Investment Bank division, in cooperation with the global liquidity group. These assets generally include bonds and liquid equity securities that form part of major indices. In coordination with the businesses and the global liquidity group, Treasury can access these assets to generate liquidity. As of December 31, 2022, this portfolio of assets had a market value of CHF 8.0 billion, consisting of CHF 5.6 billion of bonds and CHF 2.4 billion of liquid equity securities. Under our internal model, an average stress-level haircut of 7% is applied to these assets. The haircuts applied to this portfolio reflect our assessment of overall market risk at the time of measurement, potential monetization capacity taking into account increased haircuts, market volatility and the quality of the relevant securities. This portfolio decreased 70% from CHF 26.3 billion, as of the end of 2021, mainly reflecting changes in light of our strategy to resize our prime services franchise.

**Liquidity Coverage Ratio** 

Our calculation methodology for the LCR is prescribed by the Liquidity Ordinance and the FINMA 2015/2 Circular "Liquidity risks – banks," as amended (Liquidity Circular), and uses a three-month average that is measured using daily calculations during the quarter. The FINMA calculation of HQLA takes into account a cancellation mechanism (post-cancellation view) and is therefore not directly comparable to the assets presented in the financial statements that could potentially be monetized under a severe stress scenario. The cancellation mechanism effectively excludes the impact of certain secured financing transactions from available HQLA and simultaneously adjusts the level of net cash outflows calculated. Application of the cancellation mechanism adjusts both the numerator and denominator of the LCR calculation, meaning that the impact is mostly neutral on the LCR itself.

Our HQLA measurement methodology excludes potentially eligible HQLA available for use by entities of the Group in certain jurisdictions that may not be readily accessible for use by the Group as a whole. These HQLA eligible amounts may be restricted for reasons such as local regulatory requirements, including large exposure requirements, or other binding constraints that could limit the transferability to other Group entities in other jurisdictions.

On this basis, the level of our three-month daily average LCR was 144% as of the end of 2022, a decrease from 203% as of the end of 2021, representing an average HQLA of CHF 120.0 billion and average net cash outflows of CHF 83.2 billion.

The decrease in the LCR compared to 2021 reflected a significantly lower level of average HQLA, which was partially offset by a reduction in net cash outflows. The lower level of HQLA reflected a decrease in the amount of cash held with central banks and a decrease in the amount of securities held during the period. The decrease in net cash outflows mainly resulted from a decrease in cash outflows from unsecured wholesale funding, primarily driven by decreases in non-operational deposits and unsecured debt, as well as a decrease in net cash outflows from retail deposits. These decreases in net cash outflows were partially offset by lower net cash inflows associated with secured wholesale funding and secured lending activities, as well as a decrease in cash inflows from fully performing exposures.

**Net Stable Funding Ratio**

Our calculation methodology for the NSFR is prescribed by the Liquidity Ordinance and the Liquidity Circular, including associated disclosure requirements. As of the end of 2022, the level of our NSFR was 117%, a decrease from 127% as of the end of 2021, representing available stable funding (ASF) of CHF 343.2 billion and required stable funding (RSF) of CHF 292.5 billion.

The decrease in the NSFR compared to the end of 2021 reflects a decrease in ASF, partially offset by a decrease in RSF. The decrease in the ASF was mainly attributed to a decrease in our deposits, primarily attributable to significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits during early fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease in RSF was mainly attributable to a decrease in our trading inventory (non-HQLA securities), our loans held to maturity portfolio, our derivatives portfolio due to decreases in our net derivatives receivables and our reverse repurchase transactions backed by HQLA and non-HQLA assets, partially offset by increases in our loans held for sale portfolio.

Funding management

Treasury is responsible for the development, execution and regular updating of our funding plan. The plan reflects projected business growth, development of the balance sheet, future funding needs and maturity profiles as well as the effects of changing market and regulatory conditions.

The approach to term funding best reflects the sensitivity of both our liabilities and our assets to changes in interest rates. Interest expense on long-term floating-rate debt is monitored and managed relative to certain indices, which historically included interbank offered rate (IBOR) benchmarks and is being transitioned to alternative reference rates (ARRs) in place of IBORs. Aligned with regulatory expectations and the USD LIBOR cessation timeline, the Group's IBOR transition program works to coordinate preparations on a firm-wide basis, including Treasury and outstanding debt instruments with a LIBOR-link.

We continually manage the impact of funding spreads through careful management of our liability mix and opportunistic issuance of debt. The effect of funding spreads on interest expense depends on many factors, including market conditions, product type and the absolute level of the indices on which our funding is based.

We diversify our long-term funding sources by issuing structured notes, which are debt securities on which the return is linked to commodities, stocks, indices or currencies or other assets. We generally hedge structured notes with positions in the underlying assets or derivatives.

We also use other collateralized financings, including repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements. The level of our repurchase agreements fluctuates, reflecting market opportunities, client needs for highly liquid collateral, such as US treasuries and agency securities, and the impact of balance sheet and risk-weighted asset limits. In addition, matched book trades, under which securities are purchased under agreements to resell and are simultaneously sold under agreements to repurchase with comparable maturities, earn spreads, are relatively risk free and are generally related to client activity.

**Funding sources**

We fund our balance sheet primarily through core customer deposits, long-term debt, including structured notes, and shareholders' equity. We monitor the funding sources, including their concentrations against certain limits, according to their counterparty, currency, tenor, geography and maturity, and whether they are secured or unsecured.

Our balance sheet funding structure diagram is aligned with the NSFR framework. Loans, which comprise the largest component of our illiquid assets, are primarily funded by our core customer deposits. We also fund illiquid assets, including real estate, private equity and other long-term investments as well as the haircut for the illiquid portion of securities, with long-term debt and equity, in which we try to maintain a substantial funding buffer.

Our core customer deposits totaled CHF 234 billion as of the end of 2022, a decrease compared to CHF 391 billion as of the end of 2021, primarily attributable to significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits during the fourth quarter of 2022. Core customer deposits are from clients with whom we have a broad and long-standing relationship. Core customer deposits exclude certificates of deposits. Our core customer deposit funding is supplemented by the issuance of long-term debt.

**Funds transfer pricing** 

We maintain an internal funds transfer pricing system based on market rates. Our funds transfer pricing system is designed to allocate to our businesses all funding costs in a way that incentivizes their efficient use of funding. Our funds transfer pricing system is an essential tool that allocates to the businesses the short-term and long-term costs of funding their balance sheet usages and off-balance sheet contingencies. The funds transfer pricing framework ensures full funding costs allocation under normal business conditions, but it is of even greater importance in a stressed capital markets environment where raising funds is more challenging and expensive. Under this framework, our businesses are also credited to the extent they provide long-term stable funding.

**Contractual maturity of assets and liabilities** 

The following table provides contractual maturities of the assets and liabilities specified as of the end of 2022. The contractual maturities are an important source of information for liquidity risk management. However, liquidity risk is also managed based on an expected maturity that considers counterparty behavior and in addition takes into account certain off-balance sheet items such as derivatives. Liquidity risk management performs extensive analyses of counterparty behavioral assumptions under various stress scenarios.

> Refer to "Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments" in Balance sheet and off-balance sheet and "Note 34 – Guarantees and commitments" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on contractual maturities of guarantees and commitments.

**Structural interest rate management** 

Structural interest rate risk management optimizes the preservation of earnings stability and net present value across various interest rate scenarios. Exposure to interest rate risk in the banking book arises mainly from loans and deposits (including replicated non-maturing deposits) related to our wealth management businesses. This inherent interest rate risk is aggregated in centrally managed banking books, allowing for the netting of interest rate risk exposures, but leaving the originating business with the responsibility for margin management. The remaining interest rate risk is hedged with interest rate swaps. Interest rate risk exposures from debt funding are usually hedged with interest rate swaps. Furthermore, Treasury manages the interest rate risk of the Group's net shareholders' equity according to the strategy approved by senior management.

**Debt issuances and redemptions** 

Our long-term debt includes senior, senior bail-in and subordinated debt issued in US-registered offerings and medium-term note programs, euro medium-term note programs, stand-alone offerings, structured note programs, covered bond programs, Australian dollar domestic medium-term note programs and a Samurai shelf registration statement in Japan. As a global bank, we have access to multiple markets worldwide and our major funding centers are New York, London, Zurich and Tokyo.

We use a wide range of products and currencies to ensure that our funding is efficient and well diversified across markets and investor types. Substantially all of our unsecured senior debt is issued without financial covenants, such as adverse changes in our credit ratings, cash flows, results of operations or financial ratios, which could trigger an increase in our cost of financing or accelerate the maturity of the debt. Our covered bond funding is in the form of mortgage-backed loans funded by domestic covered bonds issued through Pfandbriefbank Schweizerischer Hypothekarinstitute, one of two institutions established by a 1930 act of the Swiss Parliament to centralize the issuance of covered bonds, or from our own Swiss covered bond program established in June 2019. Historically, issuances of covered bonds were also made through our own international covered bond program.

The following table provides information on long-term debt issuances, maturities and redemptions in 2022, excluding structured notes.

As of the end of 2022, we had outstanding long-term debt of CHF 157.2 billion, which included senior and subordinated instruments. We had CHF 38.9 billion and CHF 17.6 billion of structured notes and covered bonds outstanding, respectively, as of the end of 2022, compared to CHF 43.1 billion and CHF 15.4 billion, respectively, as of the end of 2021.

> Refer to "Issuances and redemptions" in Capital management – Capital instruments for further information on capital issuances, including buffer and progressive capital instruments.

Short-term borrowings as shown in the balance sheet funding structure diagram decreased 43% to CHF 23.2 billion as of the end of 2022 from CHF 39.8 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly related to maturities of certificates of deposit and structured notes.

We expect the Group's overall funding needs to reduce over time as a result of strategic transformation in line with balance sheet reduction.

> Refer to "Issuances and redemptions" in Capital management - Capital instruments for further information on capital issuances, including low-trigger and high-trigger capital instruments.

**Credit ratings** 

Our access to the debt capital markets and our borrowing costs depend significantly on our credit ratings. Rating agencies take many factors into consideration in determining a company's rating, including, among others, earnings performance, business mix, market position, ownership, financial strategy, level of capital, risk management policies and practices, management team and the broader outlook for the financial services industry more generally. The rating agencies may raise, lower or withdraw their ratings, or publicly announce an intention to raise or lower their ratings, at any time.

Although retail and private bank deposits are also sensitive to changes in a bank's credit ratings, the cost and availability of other sources of unsecured external funding is generally a direct function of credit ratings. Credit ratings are especially important to us when competing in certain markets and when seeking to engage in longer-term transactions, including over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments.

**Credit ratings downgrades in 2022**

In May 2022, Standard and Poor's Global Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG, and Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG, in each case by one notch. The outlook on these ratings was revised from "negative" to "stable". Also in May 2022, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the senior unsecured debt ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long-term senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of Credit Suisse AG, but the outlook on these ratings was revised from "stable" to "negative".

In August 2022, Moody's Investors Service downgraded the senior unsecured debt ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long-term senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of Credit Suisse AG, both by one notch. The "negative" outlook on these ratings was maintained. Standard and Poor's Global Ratings affirmed the long-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and Credit Suisse AG, but the outlook on these ratings was revised from "stable" to "negative". Fitch Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long- and short-term issuer default ratings of Credit Suisse AG, in each case by one notch. The outlook on these ratings was revised from "stable" to "negative".

On November 1, 2022, Moody's Investors Service affirmed the senior unsecured debt ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and downgraded the long-term senior unsecured debt and deposit ratings of Credit Suisse AG by one notch. Moody's also downgraded all the short-term ratings by one notch and maintained the "negative" outlook on all ratings. Following the affirmation of all ratings and outlooks on October 6, 2022, Standard and Poor's Global Ratings downgraded the long-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse Group AG and the long- and short-term issuer credit ratings of Credit Suisse AG, in each case by one notch on November 1, 2022. The outlook on these ratings was revised from "negative" to "stable".

These downgrades in our ratings increasingly elevated our borrowing costs and limited our ability to renew maturing short-term funding and to access short-term funding markets. The downgrades have increased our cost of capital and adversely affected and may in the future continue to adversely affect the ability of our businesses to sell or market their products, engage in business transactions, particularly financing and derivative transactions, and retain our clients.

Further downgrades could amplify these challenges, require us to post additional collateral or allow counterparties to terminate transactions under certain of our financing and derivative contracts, and this in turn, could reduce our liquidity and negatively impact our operating results and financial position.

**Collateral requirements**

Our internal liquidity barometer takes into consideration contingent events associated with a three-notch downgrade in our credit ratings. According to the specific downgrade risks considered in our internal liquidity barometer and LCR calculations, the maximum impact of a simultaneous one, two or three-notch downgrade by all three major rating agencies in the Bank's long-term debt ratings would result in additional collateral requirements or assumed termination payments under certain derivative instruments of CHF 0.6 billion, CHF 0.8 billion and CHF 0.9 billion, respectively, as of the end of 2022. If the downgrade does not involve all three rating agencies, the impact may be smaller.

Potential cash outflows on these derivative contracts associated with a downgrade of our long-term debt credit ratings, such as the requirement to post additional collateral to the counterparty, the loss of re-hypothecation rights on any collateral received and impacts arising from additional termination events, are monitored and taken into account in the calculation of our liquidity requirements. There are additional derivative related risks that do not relate to the downgrade of our long-term debt credit ratings and which may impact our liquidity position, including risks relating to holdings of derivatives collateral or potential movements in the valuation of derivatives positions. The potential outflows resulting across all derivative product types are monitored as part of the LCR scenario parameters and the internal liquidity reporting.

> Refer to "Investor information" in the Appendix for further information on Group and Bank credit ratings.

**Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities**

As a global financial institution, our cash flows are complex and interrelated and bear little relation to our net earnings and net assets. Consequently, we believe that traditional cash flow analysis is less meaningful in evaluating our liquidity position than the liquidity and funding policies described above. Cash flow analysis may, however, be helpful in highlighting certain macro trends in our business.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by **operating activities** of continuing operations was CHF 13.8 billion, primarily reflecting an increase in net trading assets and liabilities, partially offset by valuation adjustments relating to long-term debt and a decrease in other liabilities. Our operating assets and liabilities vary significantly in the normal course of business due to the amount and timing of cash flows. Management believes cash flows from operations, available cash balances and short-term and long-term borrowings will be sufficient to fund our operating liquidity needs.

Our **investing activities** primarily include originating loans to be held to maturity, other receivables and the investment securities portfolio. For the year ended December 31, 2022, net cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was CHF 55.5 billion, primarily impacted by a decrease in central bank funds sold, by a decrease in loans and by the proceeds from sales of loans.

Our **financing activities** primarily include the issuance of debt and receipt of customer deposits. We pay annual dividends on our common shares. In 2022, net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was CHF 163.9 billion, mainly reflecting the decrease in due to banks and customer deposits and the repayment of long-term debt, partially offset by the issuance of long-term debt and the issuance of common shares.

Capital management

As of the end of 2022, our BIS CET1 ratio was 14.1%, our BIS CET1 leverage ratio was 5.4% and our BIS tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.7%.

Capital strategy

Credit Suisse considers a strong and efficient capital position to be a priority. Through our capital strategy, our goal is to strengthen our capital position and optimize the use of risk-weighted assets (RWA), particularly in light of emerging regulatory capital requirements.

The overall capital needs of Credit Suisse reflect management's regulatory and credit rating objectives as well as our underlying risks. Our framework considers the capital needed to absorb losses, both realized and unrealized, while remaining a strongly capitalized institution. Multi-year projections and capital plans are prepared for the Group and its major subsidiaries and reviewed throughout the year with their regulators. These plans are subject to various stress tests, reflecting both macroeconomic and specific risk scenarios. Capital contingency plans are developed in connection with these stress tests to ensure that possible mitigating actions are consistent with both the amount of capital at risk and the market conditions for accessing additional capital.

Regulatory framework

Credit Suisse is subject to the Basel framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency.

The Basel framework describes a range of options for determining capital requirements in order to provide banks and supervisors the ability to select approaches that are most appropriate for their operations and their financial market infrastructure. In general, Credit Suisse has adopted the most advanced approaches, which align with the way that risk is internally managed and provide the greatest risk sensitivity.

Our capital metrics fluctuate during any reporting period in the ordinary course of business.

**BIS requirements**

The BCBS, the standard setting committee within the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), issued the Basel framework, with minimum capital requirements and conservation and countercyclical buffers, risk-based capital measures, a leverage ratio and liquidity standards. The framework was designed to strengthen the resilience of the banking sector and requires banks to hold adequate capital, mainly in the form of common equity.

Under the Basel framework, the minimum common equity tier 1 (CET1) requirement is 4.5% of RWA. In addition, a 2.5% CET1 capital conservation buffer is required to absorb losses in periods of financial and economic stress.

A progressive buffer between 1% and 2.5% (with a possible additional 1% surcharge) of CET1, depending on a bank's systemic importance, is an additional capital requirement for global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). The Financial Stability Board (FSB) identified Credit Suisse as a G-SIB. A progressive buffer of 1% applied to Credit Suisse in 2022 and will remain unchanged for 2023.

CET1 capital is subject to certain regulatory deductions and other adjustments to common equity, including the deduction of deferred tax assets for tax-loss carry-forwards, goodwill and other intangible assets.

In addition to the CET1 requirements, there is also a requirement for 1.5% of additional tier 1 capital and 2% of tier 2 capital. These requirements may also be met with CET1 capital. To qualify as additional tier 1 under the Basel framework, capital instruments must provide for principal loss absorption through a conversion into common equity or a write-down of principal feature. The trigger for such conversion or write-down must include a CET1 ratio of at least 5.125% as well as a trigger at the point of non-viability.

The Basel framework further provides for a countercyclical buffer that could require banks to hold up to 2.5% of CET1. This requirement is imposed by national regulators where credit growth is deemed to be excessive and leading to the build-up of system-wide risk.

Banks are required to maintain a tier 1 leverage ratio of 3%.

**Swiss requirements**

The legislation implementing the Basel framework in Switzerland in respect of capital requirements for systemically important banks, including Credit Suisse, goes beyond the Basel minimum standards for systemically important banks.

Under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance, Swiss banks classified as systemically important banks operating internationally, such as Credit Suisse, are subject to two different minimum requirements for loss-absorbing capacity: such banks must hold sufficient capital that absorbs losses to ensure continuity of service (going concern requirement), and they must issue sufficient debt instruments to fund an orderly resolution without recourse to public resources (gone concern requirement).

Going concern capital and gone concern capital together form our total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC). The going concern and gone concern requirements are generally aligned with the FSB's total loss-absorbing capacity standard.

Under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance's grandfathering provisions, additional tier 1 capital instruments with a low trigger qualify as going concern capital until their first call date.

Additionally, there are FINMA decrees that apply to Credit Suisse, as a systemically important bank operating internationally, including capital adequacy requirements as well as liquidity and risk diversification requirements.

Banks that do not maintain the minimum requirements may be limited in their ability to pay dividends and make discretionary bonus payments and other earnings distributions.

**Going concern requirements**

The going concern requirement for a G-SIB consists of (i) base requirements of 12.86% of RWA and 4.5% of leverage exposure; and (ii) add-ons for market share in the domestic lending and deposit business and for the size of the bank as measured by total exposures (surcharges), which reflect the G-SIB's systemic importance. Currently, for Credit Suisse, the going concern surcharge is 0.72% for the RWA ratio and 0.25% for the leverage ratio. For Credit Suisse, this translates into a going concern requirement before any countercyclical buffers of 13.58% of RWA and 4.75% of leverage exposure. The going concern requirement for Credit Suisse shall be met with minimum CET1 capital of 9.28% for the RWA ratio and 3.25% for the leverage ratio, with the remainder to be met with a maximum of 4.3% additional tier 1 capital for the RWA ratio and 1.5% for the leverage ratio. The additional tier 1 capital includes high-trigger capital instruments that would be converted into common equity or written down if the CET1 ratio falls below 7%. Additionally, the going concern requirement may include countercyclical capital buffers, which are applicable to all banks.

**Gone concern requirements**

In 2022, the gone concern requirement of a G-SIB was equal to its total going concern requirement. The gone concern requirement does not include any countercyclical buffers. As of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse was subject to a gone concern requirement of 13.58% of RWA and a 4.75% of leverage exposure, less any capital rebates for resolvability.

> Refer to "Regulatory developments" for additional information.

The gone concern requirement should primarily be fulfilled with bail-in instruments that are designed to absorb losses after the write-down or conversion into equity of regulatory capital of a G-SIB in a restructuring scenario, but before the write-down or conversion into equity of other senior obligations of the G-SIB. Bail-in instruments do not feature capital triggers that may lead to a write-down and/or a conversion into equity outside of restructuring, but only begin to bear losses once the G-SIB is formally in restructuring proceedings and FINMA orders capital measures (i.e., a write-down and/or a conversion into equity) in the restructuring plan.

Bail-in instruments must fulfill certain criteria in order to qualify under the gone concern requirement, including FINMA approval. In addition to bail-in instruments, the gone concern requirement may further be fulfilled with other capital instruments, including CET1, additional tier 1 capital instruments or tier 2 capital instruments.

**FINMA decrees**

The SNB designated Credit Suisse as a financial group of systemic importance under applicable Swiss law. FINMA requires the Group to fully comply with the special requirements for systemically important banks operating internationally, which include capital adequacy requirements and also specify liquidity and risk diversification requirements.

In December 2013, FINMA issued a decree (2013 FINMA Decree), specifying capital adequacy requirements for the Bank on a stand-alone basis (Bank parent company), and for the Bank and the Group, each on a consolidated basis, as systemically important banks.

In October 2017, FINMA issued an additional decree with respect to the regulatory capital requirements of the Bank parent company (2017 FINMA Decree), specifying the treatment of investments in subsidiaries for capital adequacy purposes. This decree partially replaced certain aspects of the 2013 FINMA Decree, but all other aspects of that decree remain in force. The changes aim to create a capital adequacy framework for the Bank parent company that is more comparable to relevant international frameworks and does not rely on exemptions from, or corrections of, the basic framework applicable to all Swiss banks. The changes only apply to the going concern capital requirements for the Bank parent company.

The 2017 FINMA Decree requires the Bank parent company to risk-weight both direct and indirect investments in subsidiaries, with the initial risk-weight set at 200%. Beginning in 2019, the risk-weights began to increase over a 10-year period for direct and indirect investments in Swiss subsidiaries by 5% per year and for direct and indirect investments in foreign subsidiaries by 20% per year, up to 250% and 400%, respectively, by 2028. In 2022, investments in Swiss-domiciled subsidiaries were risk-weighted at 220% and investments in foreign-domiciled subsidiaries were risk-weighted at 280%.

The 2017 FINMA Decree also applies an adjustment (referred to as a regulatory filter) to an impact on CET1 capital arising from the accounting change under applicable Swiss banking rules for the Bank parent company's participations in subsidiaries from the portfolio valuation method to the individual valuation method. In contrast to the accounting treatment, the regulatory filter allows Credit Suisse to measure the regulatory capital position as if the Bank parent company had maintained the portfolio valuation method.

The valuation of the Bank parent company's participations in subsidiaries is reviewed for potential impairment on at least an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the participations' value may be impaired. There were several triggering events during 2022, including the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, adverse market and economic conditions, a decline in the Group's share price and significant outflows of deposits and assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additionally, the review of the Credit Suisse legal entities' five-year financial plans was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2022. Based on the reviews performed during the year, which included the support of an independent valuation specialist appointed by Credit Suisse to advise on the valuation of certain participations, the Bank parent company recorded a net participation impairment for regulatory purposes of CHF 7.4 billion in 2022.

The Bank parent company's Swiss CET1 ratio increased to 12.2% as of December 31, 2022 from 11.7% as of December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting significantly reduced RWA levels. The Swiss CET1 ratio was also impacted by net losses and significant participation impairments, partially offset by capital contributions from Credit Suisse Group AG relating to the capital increases executed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

**Other requirements** 

Requirements in Switzerland include an extended countercyclical buffer, which is based on the BIS countercyclical buffer that could require banks to hold up to 2.5% of RWA in the form of CET1 capital. The extended countercyclical buffer relates to a requirement that can be imposed by national regulators when credit growth is deemed to be excessive and leading to the build-up of system-wide risk. The Swiss Federal Council has not activated the BIS extended countercyclical buffer for Switzerland.

However, the Swiss Federal Council may from time to time require banks to hold additional CET1 capital for certain credit exposures (Swiss countercyclical capital buffer). Currently, banks, such as Credit Suisse, are required to hold additional CET1 capital amounting to 2.5% of RWA pertaining to mortgage loans that are directly or indirectly secured by residential real estate in Switzerland (Swiss sectoral countercyclical capital buffer).

> Refer to "Regulatory developments" for additional information.

FINMA requirements include capital charges for mortgages that finance owner-occupied residential property in Switzerland (mortgage multiplier). The mortgage multiplier applies for purposes of both BIS and FINMA requirements.

**Other regulatory disclosures**

In connection with the Basel framework, certain regulatory disclosures for the Group and certain of its subsidiaries are required. The Group's Pillar 3 disclosure, regulatory disclosures, additional information on capital instruments, including the main features and terms and conditions of regulatory capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity-eligible instruments that form part of the eligible capital base and total loss-absorbing capacity resources, G-SIB financial indicators, reconciliation requirements, leverage ratios and certain liquidity disclosures as well as regulatory disclosures for subsidiaries can be found on our website.

Regulatory developments

In January 2022 and at the request of the Swiss National Bank, the Swiss Federal Council reactivated the Swiss sectoral countercyclical capital buffer, in light of the recent developments in the Swiss real estate and mortgage markets. Effective September 30, 2022, banks, such as Credit Suisse, are required to hold additional CET1 capital amounting to 2.5% of RWA pertaining to mortgage loans that are directly or indirectly secured by residential real estate in Switzerland. The Swiss sectoral countercyclical capital buffer serves to strengthen the banking sector's resilience in the event of increased vulnerabilities in the Swiss mortgage and residential real estate markets.

In March 2022, FINMA published the results of its annual assessment of the recovery and resolution planning of the Swiss systemically important financial institutions. In accordance with this assessment, effective July 1, 2022, the Group was eligible for the maximum potential rebates for resolvability relating to the gone concern requirement.

In July 2022, FINMA communicated the results of its annual assessment of surcharges for the Group's market share in Switzerland. In accordance with this assessment, effective June 30, 2022, the Group's surcharge relating to the RWA ratio decreased from 0.72% to 0.36% and the surcharge relating to the leverage ratio decreased from 0.25% to 0.125%.

In October 2022, FINMA communicated the results of its reassessment of the Group's surcharges requirement based on leverage exposure. In accordance with this reassessment, effective September 30, 2022, the Group's surcharge relating to the RWA ratio decreased from 0.72% to 0.36% and the surcharge relating to the leverage ratio decreased from 0.25% to 0.125%. The changes in surcharge requirements for the Group's market share and leverage exposure resulted in a revised going concern (before any countercyclical buffer) and gone concern requirement of 13.58%, in each case, for the RWA ratio and 4.75%, in each case, for the leverage ratio, excluding rebates for resolvability under the gone concern requirement.

In November 2022, the Swiss Federal Council enacted the revised Bank Law and the revised Banking Ordinance, as well as certain other revised ordinances, effective as of January 1, 2023. Among other things, the revision includes certain amendments to the Banking Ordinance and the Capital Adequacy Ordinance under which the current rebate system on certain capital requirements is replaced by an incentive system. As of January 1, 2023, in accordance with the revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance, the former rebates for resolvability are not applicable and the gone concern capital requirements for the Group and the Bank are reduced from 100% to 75% of the going concern capital requirements, including applicable surcharge requirements for the Group's market share and leverage exposure, subject to a floor of 10% for the RWA ratio and 3.75% for the leverage ratio. This results in a gone concern requirement of 10.185% for the RWA ratio and 3.75% for the leverage ratio. Going forward, FINMA will have the ability to impose additional requirements if resolvability criteria are not met. Systemically important banks operating internationally must submit the documentation on the measures prepared or implemented to meet the resolvability criteria for the first time by the end of June 2024. Accordingly, higher gone concern requirements could be imposed by FINMA after such submission.

Capital instruments

**Capital increase**

On November 23, 2022, the Group held an Extraordinary General Meeting, at which shareholders approved two capital increases. The Group completed the first capital increase on November 25, 2022 by way of a share placement of 462,041,884 newly issued shares to qualified investors resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 1.76 billion. The Group completed the second capital increase by way of a rights offering on December 9, 2022. By the end of the rights exercise period, 98.2% of the rights had been exercised for the issuance of 872,989,594 new shares. The remaining 16,378,864 newly issued shares for which rights were not exercised were sold in the market. The rights offering resulted in gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 2.25 billion. The capital increases resulted in 1,351,410,342 newly issued shares and gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 4.0 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG made capital contributions of CHF 3.89 billion to its wholly owned subsidiary Credit Suisse AG.

**Contingent capital instruments**

We have issued high-trigger and low-trigger capital instruments to meet our capital requirements. The principal amount of these trigger instruments is written down to zero upon the occurrence of certain specified triggering events. These events include our CET1 ratio falling below 7% (or any lower applicable minimum threshold), or a determination by FINMA that write-down is necessary, or that we require public sector capital support, to prevent us from becoming insolvent, bankrupt or unable to pay a material amount of our debts, or other similar circumstances. Write-down can only be prevented if FINMA, at our request, is satisfied that certain conditions exist and write-down is not required. High-trigger instruments are designed to absorb losses before our other capital instruments, including the low-trigger capital instruments. The features of low-trigger capital instruments are described below.

**Higher Trigger Capital Amount**

The capital ratio write-down triggers for certain of our outstanding capital instruments take into account the fact that other outstanding capital instruments that contain relatively higher capital ratios as part of their trigger feature are expected to convert into equity or be written down prior to the write-down of such capital instruments. The amount of additional capital that is expected to be contributed by such conversion into equity or write-down is referred to as the Higher Trigger Capital Amount.

The following tier 1 capital notes (collectively, Tier 1 Capital Notes), which have a trigger amount of 5.125% and qualify as low trigger capital instruments, were outstanding as of December 31, 2022:

■ USD 2.5 billion 6.25% tier 1 capital notes; and

■ USD 2.25 billion 7.5% tier 1 capital notes.

The following tier 2 capital notes (collectively, Tier 2 Capital Notes), which have a trigger amount of 5% and qualify as low trigger capital instruments, were outstanding as of December 31, 2022:

■ USD 2.5 billion 6.5% tier 2 capital notes.

Each of the series of Tier 1 Capital Notes and Tier 2 Capital Notes qualify as low-trigger capital instruments and have a write-down feature, which means that the full principal amount of the notes will be permanently written down to zero upon the occurrence of specified triggering events. These events occur when the amount of our CET1 ratio, together with an additional ratio described below that takes into account other outstanding capital instruments, falls below 5.125% for the Tier 1 Capital Notes and 5% for the Tier 2 Capital Notes. The write-down can only be prevented if FINMA, at our request, is satisfied that certain conditions exist and determines a write-down is not required. The capital notes will also be written down upon a non-viability event, which occurs when FINMA determines that a write-down is necessary, or that we require extraordinary public sector capital support, to prevent us from becoming insolvent, bankrupt or unable to pay a material amount of our debts, or other similar circumstances.

With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5.125%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 10.5 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio (i.e., the ratio of the Higher Trigger Capital Amount to the aggregate of all RWA of the Group) was 4.2%, both as of the end of 2022.

With respect to the capital instruments that specify a trigger event if the CET1 ratio were to fall below 5%, the Higher Trigger Capital Amount was CHF 14.7 billion and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio was 5.9%, both as of the end of 2022.

> Refer to the table "BIS capital metrics – Group" for further information on the BIS metrics used to calculate such measures.

Our CET1 ratio was 14.1% as of the end of 2022 compared to 14.4% as of the end of 2021. Our tier 1 ratio was 20.0% as of the end of 2022 compared to 20.3% as of the end of 2021. Our total capital ratio was 20.0% as of the end of 2022 compared to 20.5% as of the end of 2021.

CET1 capital of CHF 35.3 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 8% compared to CHF 38.5 billion as of the end of 2021. The decrease in CET1 capital was mainly due to the net loss attributable to shareholders, which included a valuation allowance of CHF 3,655 million relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review. This decrease was partially offset by the issuance of common shares relating to the capital increases and a regulatory adjustment of deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses of CHF 802 million, which included CHF 1,700 million for the partial reversal of the valuation allowance relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategy review and a deferred tax assets reclassification of CHF (441) million related to the Group's tax election to accelerate the tax loss recognition of a previously recognized deferred tax asset on timing differences in 2021.

Additional tier 1 capital of CHF 14.7 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 7% compared to CHF 15.8 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly due to redemptions of high-trigger capital instruments and valuation impacts, partially offset by issuances of high-trigger capital instruments.

Tier 2 capital of CHF 0.0 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 100% compared to CHF 0.5 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly due to the impact of the prescribed amortization requirement as instruments moved closer to their maturity date.

Total eligible capital of CHF 50.0 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 9% compared to CHF 54.9 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly reflecting the decreases in CET1 capital and additional tier 1 capital.

Risk-weighted assets

Our balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures translate into RWA, which are categorized as credit, market and operational RWA. When assessing RWA, it is not the nominal size, but rather the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the RWA.

**Credit risk** RWA reflect the capital requirements for the possibility of a loss being incurred as the result of a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its financial obligations or as a result of a deterioration in the credit quality of the borrower or counterparty. Under the Basel framework, certain regulatory capital adjustments are dependent on the level of CET1 capital (thresholds). The amount above the threshold is deducted from CET1 capital and the amount below the threshold is risk weighted. RWA subject to such threshold adjustments are included in credit risk RWA. For measuring the capital requirements related to credit risk, we use the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach. Under the A-IRB approach for measuring credit risk, risk weights are determined by using internal risk parameters for probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and effective maturity. The exposure at default (EAD) is either derived from balance sheet values or by using models. For the capital requirements for counterparty credit risk, we use the internal models method (IMM) for the majority of the derivatives and the value-at-risk (VaR) model for securities financing transactions (SFT). We have also implemented the credit valuation adjustment (CVA), which covers the risk of mark-to-market losses on the expected counterparty risk arising from changes in a counterparty's credit spreads.

**Market risk** RWA reflect the capital requirements of potential changes in the fair values of financial instruments in response to market movements inherent in both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. For calculating the capital requirements related to market risk, the internal models and standardized approaches are used. Within the Basel framework for FINMA regulatory capital purposes, we implemented risk measurement models, including an incremental risk charge (IRC), stressed value-at-risk (VaR) and risks not in VaR (RNIV).

The IRC is a regulatory capital charge for default and migration risk on positions in the trading books and is intended to complement additional standards being applied to the VaR modeling framework, including stressed VaR. Stressed VaR replicates a VaR calculation on the Group's current portfolio, taking into account a one-year observation period relating to significant financial stress and helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk. RNIV and stressed RNIV are risks that are not currently implemented within the Group's VaR model, such as certain basis risks, higher order risks and cross risks.

For capital purposes, FINMA, in line with BIS requirements, uses a multiplier to impose an increase in market risk capital for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period. In 2022, our market risk capital multiplier remained at FINMA and BIS minimum levels and we did not experience an increase in market risk capital.

> Refer to "Market risk" in Risk management for further information.

**Operational risk** RWA reflect the capital requirements for the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. We use the advanced measurement approach (AMA) to calculate the operational risk regulatory capital requirements. The AMA model covers our identified operational risk types and applies a loss distribution approach to calculate the forward-looking potential total annual operational loss.

**Risk-weighted assets movements**

RWA decreased 6% to CHF 250.5 billion as of the end of 2022 from CHF 267.8 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly driven by movements in risk levels in credit risk. This decrease was partially offset by increases in internal model and parameter updates in operational and credit risk.

Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the decrease in **credit risk** was primarily driven by movements in risk levels attributable to book size, mainly due to decreases in lending exposures in Wealth Management and the Investment Bank, and the impact of the valuation allowance relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review reflected in the Corporate Center. The movement also included a decrease in derivative exposures and secured financing exposures, mainly in the Investment Bank, including the impact of the substantially completed exit of the prime services franchise and deleveraging resulting from the significant deposit outflows the Group experiences in the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease in our equity exposures relating to the sale of our investment in Allfunds Group reflected in Wealth Management.

Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the decrease in **market risk** was primarily driven by internal model and parameter updates in the Investment Bank, mainly reflecting time series updates as COVID-19 volatility rolled out of the two-year VaR window.

Excluding the foreign exchange impact, the increase in **operational risk** was mainly driven by internal model and parameter updates based on changes made in the AMA model to reflect increased litigation provisions, in addition to the annual recalibration of the model. Allocation to divisions has also changed year-on-year due to annual recalibration of allocation keys performed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Leverage metrics

Credit Suisse has adopted the BIS leverage ratio framework, as issued by the BCBS and implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Under the BIS framework, the leverage ratio measures tier 1 capital against the end-of-period exposure. As used herein, leverage exposure consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments, such as derivative financial instruments, securities financing transactions and off-balance sheet exposures.

The leverage exposure of CHF 650.6 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 27% compared to CHF 889.1 billion as of the end of 2021. The movement was mainly due to a decrease in the consolidated balance sheet. The balance sheet decrease was primarily due to lower HQLA, mainly in the Investment Bank and Wealth Management, reflecting a significant reduction in cash held at central banks and reductions in non-HQLA, both as a result of the deposit outflows the Group experiences in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease also reflected certain other business reductions.

> Refer to "Balance sheet and off-balance sheet" for further information on the movement in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.

The Bank's CET1 ratio was 16.4% as of the end of 2022 compared to 16.6% as of the end of 2021. The Bank's tier 1 ratio was 22.0% as of the end of 2022 compared to 22.1% as of the end of 2021. The Bank's total capital ratio was 22.0% as of the end of 2022 compared to 22.3% as of the end of 2021.

CET1 capital of CHF 41.0 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 7% compared to CHF 44.2 billion as of the end of 2021. The decrease in CET1 capital was mainly due to the net loss attributable to shareholders, which included a valuation allowance of CHF 3,655 million relating to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review. These decreases were partially offset by a capital contribution from the Group following the Group's issuance of common shares.

Additional tier 1 capital of CHF 13.9 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 7% compared to CHF 14.9 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly due to redemptions of high-trigger capital instruments and valuation impacts, partially offset by issuances of high-trigger capital instruments.

Tier 2 capital of CHF 0.0 billion as of the end of 2022 decreased 100% compared to CHF 0.5 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly due to the impact of the prescribed amortization requirement as instruments moved closer to their maturity date.

The Bank's total eligible capital of CHF 54.8 billion decreased 8% as of the end of 2022 compared to CHF 59.6 billion as of the end of 2021, mainly reflecting the decreases in CET1 capital and additional tier 1 capital.

RWA decreased CHF 17.4 billion to CHF 249.5 billion as of the end of 2022 compared to CHF 266.9 billion as of the end of 2021.

Shareholders' equity

**Group**

The Group's total shareholders' equity was CHF 45.1 billion as of the end of 2022 compared to CHF 44.0 billion as of the end of 2021. Total shareholders' equity was positively impacted by gains on fair value elected liabilities relating to credit risk and the CHF 4.0 billion issuance of common shares in connection with the capital increases, offset by the net loss attributable to shareholders and losses on cash flow hedges.

> Refer to the "Consolidated statements of changes in equity" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on the Group's total shareholders' equity.

**Bank**

The Bank's total shareholders' equity was CHF 47.9 billion as of the end of 2022 compared to CHF 47.4 billion as of the end of 2021. Total shareholders' equity was positively impacted by gains on fair value elected liabilities and a capital contribution from the Group following the issuance of common shares, offset by a net loss attributable to shareholders and losses on cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange exposure

Foreign exchange risk associated with investments in branches, subsidiaries and affiliates is managed within defined parameters that create a balance between the interests of stability of capital adequacy ratios and the preservation of Swiss franc shareholders' equity. Foreign exchange risk associated with the nonfunctional currency net assets of branches and subsidiaries is managed through a combination of forward-looking and concurrent backward-looking hedging activity, which is aimed at reducing the foreign exchange rate induced volatility of reported earnings.

Share purchases

The Swiss Code of Obligations limits a corporation's ability to hold or repurchase its own shares. We may only repurchase shares if we have sufficient free reserves to pay the purchase price, and if the aggregate nominal value of the repurchased shares does not exceed 10% of our nominal share capital. Furthermore, we must create a special reserve in our parent company's financial statements in the amount of the purchase price of the acquired shares. In our consolidated financial statements, own shares are recorded at cost and reported as treasury shares, resulting in a reduction in total shareholders' equity. Shares repurchased by us do not carry any voting rights at shareholders' meetings.

For 2022, there was no publicly announced share repurchase program in place. We purchased 1,388.1 million treasury shares and sold or re-issued 1,347.7 million treasury shares. The treasury shares were purchased through open market transactions, predominantly for market-making purposes and facilitating customer orders and to meet the Group's delivery obligations with respect to share-based compensation. As of December 31, 2022, the Group held 60.9 million treasury shares.

> Refer to "Note 27 – Accumulated other comprehensive income and additional share information" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for information on movement in treasury shares.

Dividends and dividend policy

Under the Swiss Code of Obligations, dividends may be paid out only if and to the extent the corporation has distributable voluntary retained earnings or distributable legal reserves. In addition, for holding companies, legal reserves may be distributed if they exceed, after deduction of any accumulated losses and reserves for own shares held by subsidiaries, 20% of the share capital specified in the commercial register. Furthermore, dividends may be paid out only after shareholder approval. The Board of Directors may propose that a dividend be paid out, but cannot itself set the dividend. In Switzerland, the auditors are required to confirm whether the appropriation of retained earnings is in accordance with Swiss law and the company's articles of incorporation. In practice, the shareholders usually approve the dividend proposal of the Board of Directors. Dividends are usually due and payable after the shareholders' resolution relating to the allocation of profits has been passed. Under the Swiss Code of Obligations, the statute of limitations in respect of claiming the payment of dividends that have been declared is five years.

The dividend payment made in 2022 for the financial year 2021 consisted of a cash distribution of CHF 0.10 per share. 50% of the distribution was paid out of capital contribution reserves, free of Swiss withholding tax and not subject to income tax for Swiss resident individuals holding the shares as a private investment, and 50% was paid out of retained earnings, net of 35% Swiss withholding tax.

Our dividend payment policy seeks to provide investors with an efficient form of capital distribution relative to earnings. Our dividend payment policy is to pay a cash dividend per share, subject to performance and the decision of the Board of Directors and approval of our shareholders in due course.

Our Board of Directors proposes to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2023 a cash distribution of CHF 0.05 per share for the financial year 2022, subject to Annual General Meeting approval.

Reflecting our holding company structure, the Group is not an operating company and holds investments in subsidiaries. It is therefore reliant on the dividends of its subsidiaries to pay shareholder dividends and service its long-term debt. The subsidiaries of the Group are generally subject to legal restrictions on the amount of dividends they can pay. The amount of dividends paid by operating subsidiaries is determined after consideration of the expectations for future results and growth of the operating businesses.

> Refer to "Proposed distribution out of capital contribution reserves" in VII – Parent company financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Proposed appropriation of accumulated losses and capital distribution for further information on dividends.

Risk management

As of the end of 2022, the Group had a gross loan portfolio of CHF 265.6 billion, gross impaired loans of CHF 3.4 billion and, in 2022, an average risk management VaR of USD 49 million.

In 2022, we continued to strengthen our risk management capabilities. These improvements supported the navigation of the macroeconomic/geopolitical turmoil, notably Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We initiated risk appetite adjustments to support the strategic changes of the Group, while continuing to drive our culture transformation.

Our discussion of risk management includes the following main sections:

■ **Key risk developments** provides an overview of topics with an actual or potential impact on risk management that have been important for the Group.

■ **Risk oversight and governance** provides an overview on oversight, culture and key management bodies and committees covering risk management matters.

■ **Risk appetite framework** provides an overview on key aspects and our process of risk appetite setting as well as the types of risk constraints we apply.

■ **Risk coverage and management** provides an overview of our main risk types. For each of the risk types presented, we provide our definition of this risk type, sources of this risk, our approach to evaluation and management of this risk and related governance.

■ **Risk portfolio analysis** provides quantitative information and discussion of our risk exposure, primarily in relation to credit and market risk.

Key risk developments

We are closely monitoring the following key risk and global economic developments as well as the potential effects on our operations and businesses, including through the reassessment of financial plans and the development of stress scenarios that take into account potential additional negative impacts.

**Liquidity risk management**

As previously disclosed, during early fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. However, as the quarter progressed, these outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed by year end. While these outflows led the bank to partially utilize liquidity buffers at the Group and legal entity level, and we fell below certain legal entity level requirements, at the Group level we always maintained the core regulatory requirements of the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). Remediation plans were prepared, initiated and implemented to mitigate these outflows, including accessing the public and private markets.

**Russia's invasion of Ukraine**

In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, the US, EU, UK, Switzerland and other countries across the world imposed severe sanctions against Russia's financial system and on Russian government officials and Russian business leaders. We are continuously assessing the impact of sanctions already imposed, Russian government countermeasures and potential future escalations on our exposures and client relationships.

> Refer to "Other information" in II – Operating and financial review – Credit Suisse for further information.

**Inflation concerns and recession risk**

In the major economies, annual inflation rates stayed far above central bank target levels for most of 2022 but started to decrease at the end of 2022. In early 2023, energy prices eased and the improved functioning of supply chains reduced the upward pressure on prices of goods. However, price pressures have transitioned to the services sector while low unemployment rates have pushed wages up. The Fed and other major central banks have slowed the pace of monetary policy tightening in late 2022 and early 2023 but have continued to stress that policy interest rates may be further increased. Further significant increases in interest rates carry the risk of triggering a recession. We periodically assess the resilience and potential vulnerabilities in our exposures, should the global economy deteriorate into recession.

**Energy supply disruptions**

Russia, which is the major source of European energy imports, has significantly reduced or even halted gas flows through various pipelines to Western Europe. High energy costs are expected to squeeze consumer spending for other goods and services and increase costs across global supply chains. Furthermore, gas-intensive European industries such as chemicals and metals face the challenge of having to adjust to permanently higher energy prices. We assessed the potential portfolio implications on eurozone countries and energy-intensive industries. Also, as part of managing operational resilience and business continuity risks, we are assessing a range of energy supply shortage scenarios and have implemented mitigation measures addressing potential operational disruptions that may occur in European countries where Credit Suisse operates.

**Emerging markets**

The challenges facing emerging market countries increased during 2022 and are expected to persist in 2023. In Türkiye and in some Latin American countries such as Brazil and Peru, downside risks driven by elevated debt levels and political and social instability were further exacerbated by high inflation and US dollar appreciation. China's economic activity was also adversely impacted, mainly driven by its zero COVID-19 policy, the real estate sector's troubles and weaker global demand. However, the recently announced relaxation of China's COVID-19 restrictions is expected to stimulate the country's economic recovery and support global economic growth. We continue to closely monitor and conduct frequent reviews into our emerging markets country exposures.

**Cyber risk**

The financial industry continues to be increasingly reliant on technology, faces dynamic cyber threats from a variety of actors and new technology vulnerabilities are being discovered. We continue to invest in our information and cybersecurity programs in order to strengthen our ability to anticipate, detect, defend against and recover from cyber attacks. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our key controls and conduct ongoing employee training and awareness activities, including for key management personnel, in order to seek to strengthen resilience of our systems and promote a strong cyber risk culture.

**Swiss property market**

Property prices remained on an upward trend in 2022 as a result of continued contained supply despite sharp increases in Swiss mortgage rates. As previously reported, the Swiss Federal Council at the request of the SNB reactivated the Swiss countercyclical capital buffer from September 2022. Since September 30, 2022, banks, such as Credit Suisse, are required to hold additional CET1 capital amounting to 2.5% of RWA pertaining to mortgage loans that are directly or indirectly secured by residential real estate in Switzerland. We regularly monitor risks in our Swiss residential mortgage loan portfolio.

**Strategy execution**

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse announced a series of decisive actions following a strategic review conducted by the Board of Directors (Board) and Executive Board, focused on a restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital. The strategic transformation entails significant execution risks that could adversely affect the bank. We strengthened our leadership of Credit Suisse through changes in the Board and enhanced our Executive Board with a team bringing relevant experience and a track record of execution. We are regularly monitoring market conditions as well as our operating processes and controls for heightened risk exposures and applying mitigating actions to minimize disruption to our businesses, clients, employees and operational readiness for the execution of our strategic transformation.

Risk management oversight

Prudent risk-taking in line with the Group's strategic priorities is fundamental to our business and success. The primary objectives of risk management are to protect our financial strength and reputation, while ensuring that capital is well deployed to support business activities in line with the Group strategy. The Group's risk management framework is based on transparency, management accountability and independent oversight.

Risk management is an integral part of the business planning process with strong senior management and Board involvement. We continuously work to strengthen risk management across the Group in an effort to meet the challenges resulting from a volatile market environment and increasing complexity driven by the changing regulatory landscape. Utilizing comprehensive risk management processes and sophisticated control systems, we continuously work to minimize the negative impact that may arise from risk concentrations.

The Group's business operations are designed to facilitate a commitment to conscious and disciplined risk-taking. We believe that independent risk management, compliance and audit processes with proper management accountability are critical to the interests and concerns of stakeholders. The Group's approach to risk management is supported by the following principles:

■ Establish a clear risk appetite that sets out the types and levels of risk we are prepared to take;

■ Have in place risk management and compliance policies that set out authorities and responsibilities for taking and managing risks;

■ Seek to establish resilient risk constraints that promote multiple perspectives on risk and reduce the reliance on single risk measures;

■ Actively monitor risks and take mitigating actions where they fall outside accepted levels; and

■ Breaches of risk limits, flags or tolerances are identified, analyzed and escalated, and large, repeated or unauthorized exceptions may lead to terminations, adverse adjustments to compensation or other disciplinary action.

**Culture**

Our culture encompasses a shared set of values across the Group that fosters the importance, understanding and control of risk.

We seek to promote a strong risk culture where employees are empowered to take accountability for identifying and escalating risks and for challenging inappropriate actions. Expectations on risk culture are regularly communicated by senior management, reinforced through policies and training, and considered in the performance assessment and compensation processes and, with respect to employee conduct, assessed by formal disciplinary review committees. The Group's Code of Conduct is based on our shared corporate values and sets forth the behavioral expectations of our employees and members of the Board, in order to maintain and strengthen our reputation for integrity, fair dealing and measured risk-taking.

In 2022, we strengthened our approach to risk culture with the development of a risk culture framework that is made up of expected organizational "behaviors" and "foundations". The purpose of our risk culture framework is to help us understand in more detail what a strong risk culture is and to foster it across Credit Suisse. We also started to measure our progress with a risk culture dashboard and developed a comprehensive action plan to increase awareness. As started in 2021, we have continued embedding risk culture into our performance and compensation processes. Additional activities in 2022 focused on addressing the findings from our employee survey to strengthen our culture and to further embed our organizational purpose and values.

> Refer to "Purpose & Strategy" in our Sustainability Report, available on credit-suisse.com/sustainabilityreport, for further information on our approach to culture.

**Governance**

Effective governance sets a solid foundation for comprehensive risk management discipline. The Group's risk governance framework is based on a "three lines of defense" governance model, where each line has a specific role with defined responsibilities and works in close collaboration to identify, assess and mitigate risks.

The first line of defense represents the business area or function that allows the risk to enter the Group from clients, employees or other third parties or events and is responsible for identifying, measuring, managing and reporting risks on a front-to-back basis in line with the Board's risk appetite. The first line of defense is fully accountable for managing risks inherent in its activities.

The second line of defense consists of independent risk management, compliance and control functions which are responsible for establishing risk management framework and associated control standards, and providing independent challenge to the activities, processes and controls carried out by the first line of defense. In this context, the Risk function (Risk), for example, is responsible for articulating and designing the risk appetite framework across the Group. The second line of defense can perform and complement the responsibility of identification, measurement, management and reporting of risks, while the first line of defense retains the overall accountability for risk management related to its activities. Independent risk management in the second line of defense is not limited to the Risk and Compliance functions.

The third line of defense is the Internal Audit function, which monitors the effectiveness of controls across various functions and operations, including risk management, compliance and governance practices.

The Group's operations are regulated by authorities in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Central banks and other bank regulators, financial services agencies, securities agencies and exchanges and self-regulatory organizations are among the regulatory authorities that oversee our businesses. FINMA is our primary regulator.

> Refer to "Regulation and supervision" in I – Information on the company for further information.

The Group's governance includes a committee structure and a comprehensive set of corporate policies which are developed, reviewed and approved by the Board, the Executive Board, their respective committees, the Chief Risk Officer of the Group (CRO) and the board of directors of significant subsidiaries, in accordance with their respective responsibilities and levels of authority.

> Refer to "Board of Directors" and "Executive Board" in IV – Corporate Governance for further information.

**Board of Directors**

The Board is responsible for our overall strategic direction, supervision and control, and for defining our overall tolerance for risk. In particular, the Board approves the risk management framework and sets overall risk appetite for the Group in consultation with its Risk Committee (Risk Committee), among other responsibilities and authorities defined in the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations (OGR).

The Board has six standing committees: the Governance and Nominations Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee, the Risk Committee and the Digital Transformation and Technology Committee. In addition, the Board has one advisory committee, the Sustainability Advisory Committee. These committees assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, including risk management.

> Refer to "Board of Directors" in IV – Corporate Governance for further information.

**Executive Board**

The Executive Board is responsible for establishing our strategic business plans, subject to approval by the Board, and implementing such plans. It further reviews and coordinates significant initiatives and approves Group-wide policies. The CRO and the Chief Compliance Officer of the Group (CCO) represent the Risk and Compliance functions, respectively, and provide regular information and reports to the Executive Board and the Board.

The Executive Board currently has five standing committees: the Executive Board Risk Management Committee (ExB RMC), the Group Capital Allocation and Liability Management Committee, the Credit Suisse AG Parent Capital Allocation, Liability and Risk Management Committee, Valuation Risk Management Committee and the Group Conduct Board.

> Refer to "Executive Board" in IV – Corporate Governance for further information.

**Risk function**

Risk, headed by the CRO, is an independent global function responsible for providing risk management oversight and establishing a holistic risk and control framework. Risk engages with

the business divisions and aims to provide effective challenge, to enable sustainable and balanced risk taking and support the Group's long-term value creation. As part of this role, the function promotes accountability and risk ownership across the Group, defines, monitors and manages its risk appetite and implements and monitors risk relevant policies and procedures.

The organizational structure of Risk is aligned to oversee the key risk types across the business divisions and legal entities.

**Compliance function**

Compliance, headed by the CCO, is an independent global function that works with the businesses to manage risks arising from the potential failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules or market standards. As a second line of defense function, responsibilities include independently assessing compliance risk, executing, monitoring and testing activities and reporting on adherence to our compliance risk appetite and other significant matters to the Board and senior management. Compliance creates, implements and monitors compliance policies and procedures designed to prevent or detect compliance breaches of employees and clients. Compliance is mandated to ensure that regulatory and compliance risks are overseen and managed in the organization and is also responsible for the identification and appropriate remediation of significant breaches of the Group's compliance processes and controls. Compliance runs global risk oversight programs, for example anti-fraud, conflict of interest, cross border and financial crime compliance, and establishes and monitors policies, guidelines, procedures and controls related to potential risks such as money laundering, bribery and corruption and sanctions.

The organizational structure of Compliance is aligned to oversee our divisions as well as our regions and significant legal entities and covers global key compliance topics.

Risk appetite framework

**Overview**

We maintain a comprehensive Group-wide risk appetite framework, which is governed by a global policy and provides a robust foundation for risk appetite setting and management across the Group. A key element of the framework is a detailed statement of the Board-approved risk appetite which is aligned to our financial and capital plans. The framework also encompasses the processes and systems for assessing the appropriate level of risk appetite required to constrain our overall risk profile.

Risk capacity is the maximum level of risk that we can assume, given our current level of resources before breaching any constraints determined by liquidity and capital requirements, the operational environment and our responsibilities to depositors, shareholders, investors and other stakeholders. Risk appetite expresses the aggregate level and types of risk we are willing to assume within our risk capacity to achieve our strategic objectives and business plan. Risk profile is a point-in-time assessment of our net risk exposures aggregated within and across each relevant risk category and is expressed in a variety of different quantitative risk metrics and qualitative risk observations. The size of our risk profile is restricted to the planned level of our risk appetite through the use of risk constraints, such as limits, flags and tolerances. In response to the Archegos matter and related regulatory observations, in 2022, Credit Suisse launched a proposal to streamline and enhance the suite of quantitative risk constraints. The enhanced risk constraints framework reduces the available constraints from five types to three: limits, flags and tolerances (the latter only for non-financial risk and model risk).

**Key aspects and process**

The Group risk appetite framework is governed by an overarching global policy that encompasses the suite of specific policies, processes and systems with which the risk constraints are calibrated and the risk profile is managed. Strategic risk objectives (SROs) are effectively embedded across our organization at the Group, business division and legal entity level through a suite of different types of risk measures (quantitative and qualitative) as part of our efforts to ensure we operate within the thresholds defined by the Board. The SROs are regularly assessed as part of our continuing enhancements to our risk management processes. In February 2023, the Board approved an enhanced set of SROs to support the Group's strategic objectives which consists of:

■ promoting stability of earnings to support performance in line with financial objectives;

■ ensuring sound management of funding and liquidity in normal and stressed conditions;

■ maintaining capital adequacy under both normal and stressed conditions;

■ maintaining the integrity of our business and operations;

■ controlling concentrations within position risk or revenues which may pose a material risk to the Group; and

■ managing environmental, social and governance risks as well as impacts related to the provision of financial services in line with our sustainability principles and commitments.

Group-wide risk appetite is reviewed in partnership with the financial and capital planning process at least annually, based on bottom-up forecasts, risk-reward and divisional objectives that reflect planned risk usage by the businesses and top-down, in alignment with Board-driven strategic risk objectives and risk appetite. Scenario-based stress testing of financial and capital plans is an essential element in the risk appetite calibration process, through which our strategic risk objectives, financial resources and business plans are aligned. The capital plans are also analyzed using our economic capital coverage ratio, which provides a further means of assessing bottom-up risk plans with respect to available capital resources. The Group-wide risk appetite is approved through a number of internal governance forums, including the ExB RMC, the Risk Committee and, subsequently, by the Board. Ad hoc risk appetite reviews may be triggered by material market events, material loss events, material revisions to the financial and capital plans, the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) results as well as following breaches of Board-level risk constraints.

The risk appetite statement is the formal plan, approved by the Board, for our Group-wide risk appetite. Legal entity risk appetites are set by the local legal entity board of directors within the limits established by the Group. The top-down and bottom-up risk appetite calibration process includes the following key steps:

**Top-down:**

■ Group-level strategic risk objectives are agreed by the Board in line with our financial and capital objectives.

■ Top-down risk capacities and risk appetites are determined with reference to available resources and key thresholds, such as minimum regulatory requirements.

■ A risk appetite statement is determined and approved annually by the Board, and is based on the strategic risk objectives, the comprehensive scenario stress testing of our forecasted financial results and capital requirements, and our economic capital framework. The risk appetite statement comprises quantitative and qualitative risk measures necessary for adequate control of the risk appetite across the organization. A review of the top-down and bottom-up risk appetite levels and their allocation between divisions and legal entities is performed.

■ Separate legal entity risk appetite frameworks aligned to local regulatory requirements are in place for material subsidiaries. An integrated annual planning process is designed to ensure that individual legal entity risk appetites are consistent with Group levels.

■ Divisional risk committees are responsible for allocating risk appetite within the respective divisions based on individual business line reviews and requirements.

**Bottom-up:**

■ Planned risk levels and related risk appetite requests are provided by divisional business experts in conjunction with financial and capital plans in order to promote consistency with the business strategy. Risk plans are reviewed by the relevant risk management committees.

■ Bottom-up risk forecasts are aggregated across businesses to assess divisional and Group-wide risk plans and to support management decisions on variations to existing risk appetite levels or the possible implementation of new risk appetite measures.

■ The effectiveness of risk appetite in support of business strategy execution and delivery against financial objectives is assessed via a risk appetite effectiveness framework. This framework assists senior management and the Board in ensuring that appropriate levels of risk appetite are set and that the subsequent risk constraints are appropriately calibrated.

■ Risk, financial and capital plans are jointly reviewed and approved by the Executive Board and the Board.

The Group-wide risk appetite framework encompasses multiple quantitative and qualitative aspects. The quantitative risk appetite aspects are measured using various metrics, including stress scenario metrics related to capital, earnings and liquidity, RWA and economic risk capital. The qualitative risk appetite aspects are used to monitor adherence to international and local laws and regulations, industry guidelines and internal policies, and are designed to manage and mitigate the Group's conduct and reputational risk.

**Risk constraints**

A core aspect of our risk appetite framework is a sound system of integrated risk constraints. These allow us to maintain our risk profile within our overall risk appetite, and encourage meaningful discussion between the relevant businesses, Risk functions and members of senior management around the evolution of our risk profile and risk appetite. Considerations include changing external factors (such as market developments, geopolitical conditions and client demand) as well as internal factors (such as financial resources, business needs and strategic views). Our risk appetite framework utilizes a suite of different types of risk constraints to reflect the aggregate risk appetite of the Group and to further cascade risk appetite across our organization, including among business divisions and legal entities. The risk constraints restrict our maximum balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposure given the market environment, business strategy and financial resources available to absorb losses. Different levels of seniority are mapped to each type of risk constraint, which require specific permanent or temporary modification, enforcement and breach response protocols. Risk constraints are monitored on a regular basis as part of our efforts to ensure they continue to fulfill their purposes.

We define the following risk constraint categories:

■ **Qualitative constraints** represent constraints that are used to manage identified but unquantifiable or subjective risks, with adherence assessed by the appropriate level of constraint authority.

■ **Quantitative constraints** represent constraints that are used to manage identified quantifiable risks and exist in the form of limits, flags and tolerances.

Constraint authority for the risk constraints is determined by the relevant approving body and constraints are currently in effect for all key risk governance bodies and committees including the Board, its Risk Committee and the ExB RMC. The appropriateness of the constraint types for the various risk classes within our risk appetite, including market, credit, non-financial and liquidity risk, is determined considering the respective characteristics of the various risk constraint types.

In general, risk constraints will be set in different ways depending on their respective functions and objectives. For example, certain risk constraints will reflect a maximum risk appetite, whereas others will be set closer to the current usage in order to ensure timely escalation and feedback among the relevant businesses, Risk functions and members of senior management. These considerations also influence the extent to which certain risk constraints may be introduced, modified or retired in response to changing external and internal factors.

We define the following types of risk constraints:

■ **Qualitative constraint statements** are required for all qualitative constraints. Qualitative constraint statements need to be specific and to clearly define the respective risk to ensure that the risk profile for unquantifiable or subjective risks is readily assessable.

■ **Limits** are specific threshold levels for a given risk metric. Limits are hard or binding thresholds that require discussion to avoid a breach and trigger immediate remediating action if a breach occurs.

■ **Flags** are early warning indicators of potentially high utilizations of the Group's actual risk profile compared to its approved risk appetite, which serve primarily as a soft threshold intended to steer risk exposures. Flags can be set to calibrate or test future limits.

■ **Tolerances** are designed as management constraints for non-financial risk and model risk management to initiate discussion. Breach of a tolerance level triggers review by the relevant constraint authority.

With respect to limits, flags and tolerances, established criteria are applied in the selection of the appropriate risk constraint, including the assessment of (i) the materiality of the respective risk metric with regard to its contribution to the overall Group risk appetite; (ii) the importance of the risk constraint to the organization from a qualitative perspective; (iii) the characteristic of the respective risk, e.g., risk concentrations or high priority risk for the Group; and (iv) the availability of mitigating actions to manage the risk profile of the Group in relation to the respective risk.

We have established a constraint structure which manages the Group's risk profile using multiple metrics, including VaR, scenario analysis, economic risk capital and various exposure limits at the Group level. The overall risk limits for the Group are set by the Board in consultation with its Risk Committee and are binding. In the fourth quarter of 2022, following significant deposit and net asset outflows as previously disclosed, we observed breaches of our internal Board level liquidity constraints. However, at the Group level, we maintained at all times the core regulatory requirements of the LCR and the NSFR. Additionally, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we breached the Russia country risk limit at the Board level, driven by counterparty ratings downgrades. We subsequently reduced the risk exposure, which remediated the breach.

Dedicated constraints are also in place to cover the specific risk profiles of individual businesses and legal entities. In the context of the overall risk appetite of the Group, as defined by the limits set by the Board in consultation with its Risk Committee, the ExB RMC is responsible for allocating key limits to divisions as deemed necessary to manage risk within individual lines of business. The divisional risk management committees and the divisional and legal entity chief risk officers are responsible for allocating risk appetite further within the organization. For this purpose, they use a detailed framework of individual risk limits designed to control risk-taking at a granular level by individual businesses and in the aggregate. The risk constraints are intended to:

■ limit overall risk-taking to the Group's risk appetite;

■ trigger senior management discussions with the businesses involved, risk management and governance committees in case of substantial change in the overall risk profile;

■ promote consistent risk measurement across businesses;

■ provide a common framework for the allocation of resources to businesses; and

■ provide a basis for protecting the Group's capital base and meeting strategic risk objectives.

The limit owners are responsible for reviewing warning thresholds for risk limits. They may set warning thresholds for potential limit excesses at any level lower than the approved limits as deemed appropriate after taking into account the nature of the underlying business. A comprehensive risk appetite constraint framework is in place which defines roles and responsibilities, including risk constraint setting and escalation authorities. Risk limit breaches that are not remediated within strictly defined remediation timelines across all risk limits must be escalated to the CRO and the corresponding divisional Executive Board member.

Risk coverage and management

We use a wide range of risk management practices to address the variety of risks that arise from our business activities. Policies, processes, standards, risk assessment and measurement methodologies, risk appetite constraints, and risk monitoring and reporting are key components of our risk management practices. Our risk management practices complement each other in our analysis of potential loss, support the identification of interdependencies and interactions of risks across the organization and provide a comprehensive view of our exposures. We regularly review and update our risk management practices to promote consistency with our business activities and relevance to our business and financial strategies. Our main risk types include the following:

■ Capital risk

■ Credit risk

■ Market risk

■ Non-financial risk

■ Model risk

■ Reputational risk

■ Climate-related risks

■ Business risk

■ Fiduciary risk

■ Pension risk

■ Funding liquidity risk

Funding liquidity risk is the risk that the Group, although solvent, either does not have sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due, or can secure such resources only at excessive cost. Management of funding liquidity risk is described in the "Liquidity and funding management" section of this report.

> Refer to "Liquidity and funding management" for further information on funding liquidity risk.

**Capital risk**

**Definition**

Capital risk is the risk that we do not have adequate capital to support our activities and maintain the minimum capital requirements. We maintain a robust and comprehensive framework for assessing capital adequacy, defining internal capital targets and ensuring that these capital targets are consistent with our overall risk profile and the current operating environment.

**Sources of capital risk**

Capital risk results from the Group's risk exposures, available capital resources, regulatory requirements and accounting standards.

**Evaluation and management of capital risk**

The stress testing framework and economic risk capital are tools used by the Group to evaluate and manage capital risk. Our capital management framework is designed to ensure that we meet all regulatory capital requirements for the Group and its regulated subsidiaries.

> Refer to "Capital strategy" and "Regulatory framework" in Capital management for further information on the management of capital and RWA and regulatory capital requirements.

**Overview of stress testing framework**

Stress testing (or scenario analysis) represents a risk management approach thatformulates hypothetical questions, including what would happen to our portfolio if, for example, historic or adverse forward-looking events were to occur. A well-developed stress testing framework provides a powerful tool for senior management to identify these risks and also take corrective actions to protect the earnings and capital from undesired impacts.

Stress testing is a fundamental element of our Group-wide risk appetite framework included in overall risk management to ensure that our financial position and risk profile provide sufficient resilience to withstand the impact of severe economic conditions. Stress testing results are monitored against limits, and are used in risk appetite discussions and strategic business planning and to support our ICAAP. The ICAAP aims to identify and accurately assess the significance of material risks faced by the Group. As part of the Group-wide ICAAP process, the bank assesses its present financial position and expected changes to the current business profile, the environment in which it expects to operate, its projected business plans, projected financial position and future planned sources of capital. Within the risk appetite framework, the ExB RMC sets Group-wide and divisional stressed position loss limits to correspond to minimum post-stress capital ratios. Currently, limits are set on the basis of BIS CET1 capital ratios. Stress tests also form an integral part of the Group's capital planning and the recovery and resolution plan (RRP) process. Within the RRP, stress tests provide the indicative scenario severity required to reach recovery and resolution capital levels.

Stress testing provides key inputs for managing the following objectives of the risk appetite framework:

■ Ensuring Group-wide capital adequacy on both a regulatory basis and under stressed conditions: We run a suite of scenarios on forecasted financial metrics such as net revenues, total operating expenses, income before taxes and RWA. The post-stress capital ratios are assessed against the risk appetite of the Group.

■ Maintaining stable earnings: We mainly use stress testing to quantitatively assess earnings stability risk. Earnings appetites are established and monitored as part of our efforts to contain excessive risk-taking which could compromise our earnings stability.

We also conduct externally defined stress tests that meet the specific requirements of regulators. For example, as part of various regular stress tests and analyses, FINMA requires a semi-annual loss potential analysis that includes two stress tests. For 2022, the FINMA stress tests included an extreme scenario that sees the world economy experience a severe recession, mainly as a result of the worsening of a European debt crisis, and an alternative scenario with similar severity but opposite evolution of interest rates and inflation (deflation in the former scenario versus supply-driven inflation pressures and rising interest rates in the latter scenario). In 2022, Credit Suisse developed a new persistent stagflation internal scenario to stress capital adequacy as part of its ICAAP. The persistent stagflation scenario envisages continued increases in inflation due to higher commodity prices, supply chain disruptions and overheated labor markets. Aggressive central bank interest rate hikes are envisaged to cause further tightening of financial conditions.

**Methodology and scope of Group-wide stress testing**

Stress tests are carried out to determine stressed position losses, earnings volatility and stressed capital ratios using historical, forward-looking and reverse stress testing scenarios. Stress tests also include the scenario impact on RWA through changes to market, credit and operational components. Scenarios are reviewed and updated regularly as markets and business strategies evolve.

We use historical stress testing scenarios to consider the impact of market shocks from relevant periods of extreme market disturbance. The calibration of internal scenarios is influenced by the identification of the most severe moves that have occurred in recent history. Severe flight to quality (SFTQ) is one of the key scenarios used for Group-wide stress testing and risk appetite setting. It is a combination of market shocks and defaults that reflects conditions similar to what followed the 2008/2009 financial crisis. The SFTQ scenario assumes a severe crash across financial markets, along with stressed default rates.

We use forward-looking stress testing scenarios to complement historical scenarios. The forward-looking scenarios are centered on potential macroeconomic, geopolitical or policy threats. We discuss the backdrop to several forward-looking scenarios, review a wide range of scenarios and select those that are most relevant to the analysis of key macroeconomic shocks. Some examples of forward-looking scenarios include global recessionary trends due to the world moving into US- and China-led economic blocks, a so-called emerging markets economic "hard landing" and the impact of monetary policy changes by central banks.

We also use a flight to quality lite scenario (FTQ Lite), which is a one-in-three years likelihood scenario with a lower severity of impact than SFTQ but with a higher likelihood of occurrence. FTQ Lite is used to test the earnings robustness of the Group.

We use reverse stress testing scenarios to complement traditional stress testing and enhance our understanding of business model vulnerabilities. Reverse stress testing leverages the stress results and outcome as evidenced under severe internal capital scenarios. In addition to the modeled impact generated by the scenario, management will assume further idiosyncratic impacts (e.g., non-financial risk incidents, large counterparty defaults, credit rating downgrades, reputational risk and loss of clients) that would lead to business model failure.

**Overview of economic risk capital**

Economic risk capital measures risks in terms of economic realities rather than regulatory or accounting rules and estimates the amount of capital needed to remain solvent and in business under extreme market, business and operating conditions over the period of one year. This framework allows us to assess, monitor and manage capital adequacy and solvency risk in both "going concern" and "gone concern" scenarios. In a "going concern" scenario, we hold sufficient capital to absorb losses to ensure continuity of service. In a "gone concern" scenario, we hold sufficient capital to absorb unexpected losses at a confidence level of 99.97% and fund an orderly resolution without recourse to public resources. Economic risk capital supplements the Group's RRP process.

At the level of the Group, economic risk capital is used primarily as a tool for capital management in a "gone concern" scenario, measuring the combined impact from quantifiable risks such as market, credit, operational, pension and expense risk. Additionally, economic risk capital is also used for risk management purposes for specific businesses within the Group.

> Refer to "Capital strategy" and "Regulatory framework" in Capital management for further information on our capital management framework.

**Methodology and scope of economic risk capital**

Our economic risk capital model is a set of methodologies used for measuring quantifiable risks associated with our business activities on a consistent basis. It is calculated separately for position risk (reflecting our exposure to market and credit risks), operational risk and other risks, using appropriate methodologies for each risk category. Economic risk capital is calculated by aggregating position, operational and other risks.

Position risk is the level of unexpected loss from our portfolio of balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions over a one-year holding period and includes market and credit risks. It is calculated at a 99% confidence level for risk management purposes reflecting a "going concern" scenario and at a 99.97% confidence level for capital management purposes reflecting a "gone concern" resolution scenario. Our position risks categories are described in the table "Position risk categories". To determine our overall position risk, we consider the diversification benefit across risk types. When analyzing position risk for risk management purposes, we look at individual risk types before and after the diversification benefit.

Operational risk is the risk of an adverse impact arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. We use an internal model to calculate the economic capital requirement for operational risk at a 99.97% confidence level and a one-year holding period.

Other risks covered include expense risk, pension risk, owned real estate risk, foreign exchange risk between available economic capital and economic risk capital, and the benefit from deferred share-based compensation awards.

Available economic capital is our internal view of the capital available to absorb losses based on the reported BIS CET1 capital under the Basel framework, with economic adjustments applied to provide consistency with our economic risk capital.

The economic risk capital coverage ratio operates with a number of distinct bands that serve as key controls for monitoring and managing our operational solvency.

**Governance of capital risk**

For capital risk, we have a Group-wide scenario calibration and analysis process, which includes the design of scenarios and the assessment and approval of scenario results. Stress tests are conducted on a regular basis and the results, trend information and supporting analysis are reported to the Board, senior management and regulators. We have a comprehensive set of stress testing models and an established governance for approving new and changed models and methodologies.

**Credit risk**

**Definition**

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising 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. In the event of a default, a bank generally incurs a loss equal to the amount owed by the debtor, less any recoveries from foreclosure, liquidation of collateral, the restructuring of the debtor company or other recovery proceeds from the debtor. A change in the credit quality of a counterparty has an impact on the valuation of assets measured at fair value, with valuation changes recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Sources of credit risk**

Credit risk can arise from the execution of our business strategy in the divisions and includes risk positions such as exposures directly held in the form of lending products (including loans, money market deposits and credit guarantees) or traded products (derivatives, securities financing), shorter-term exposures such as underwriting commitments pending distribution, and settlement risk related to the exchange of cash or securities outside of typical delivery versus payment structures. The main sources of credit risk are presented in the table "Main sources of credit risk by division" and comprise existing portfolios of credit exposure in ongoing business, as well as select portfolios of legacy positions which are considered non-core and do not form part of continuing business.

**Evaluation and management of credit risk**

We use a credit risk management framework which provides for the consistent evaluation, measurement and management of credit risk across the Group. Assessments of credit risk exposures for internal risk estimates and RWA are calculated based on PD, LGD and EAD models. The credit risk framework incorporates the following core elements:

■ counterparty and transaction assessments: application of internal credit ratings (PD), assignment of LGD and EAD values in relation to counterparties and transactions;

■ credit limits: establishment of credit limits, including limits based on notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure, subject to approval by delegated authority holders, to serve as primary risk controls on exposures and to prevent undue risk concentrations;

■ credit monitoring, impairments and provisions: processes to support the ongoing monitoring and management of credit exposures, supporting the early identification of deterioration and any subsequent impact; and

■ risk mitigation: active management of credit exposures through the use of cash sales, participations, collateral, guarantees, insurance or hedging instruments.

In addition to traditional credit exposure measurement, monitoring and management using current and potential future exposure metrics, we perform counterparty and portfolio credit risk assessments of the impact of various internal stress test scenarios. We assess the impact to credit risk exposures arising from market movements in accordance with the scenario narrative, which can further support the identification of concentration or tail risks. Our scenario suite includes historical scenarios as well as forward-looking scenarios which are used across the Risk function.

**Counterparty and transaction assessments**

Credit Risk evaluates and assesses counterparties and clients to whom the Group has credit exposures. For the majority of counterparties and clients, Credit Risk uses internally developed statistical rating models to determine internal credit ratings which are intended to reflect the PD of each counterparty. These rating models are backtested against internal experience, validated by a function independent of model development and approved by our main regulators for application in the regulatory capital calculation under the A-IRB approach of the Basel framework. Findings from backtesting serve as a key input for any future rating model developments.

Internal statistical rating models are based on a combination of quantitative factors (e.g., financial fundamentals and market data) and qualitative factors (e.g., credit history and economic trends).

For the remaining counterparties where statistical rating models are not used, internal credit ratings are assigned on the basis of a structured expert approach using a variety of inputs such as peer analyses, industry comparisons, external ratings and research as well as the judgment of expert credit officers.

In addition to counterparty ratings, Credit Risk also assesses the risk profile of individual transactions and assigns transaction ratings which reflect specific contractual terms such as seniority, security and collateral.

Internal credit ratings may differ from external credit ratings, where available, and are subject to periodic review. Our internal ratings are mapped to a PD band associated with each rating which is calibrated to historical default experience using internal data and external data sources. Our internal masterscale for credit ratings is shown in the table "Credit Suisse counterparty ratings".

LGD estimates the size of loss that may arise on a credit exposure in the event of a default. We assign LGD on credit exposures based on the structure of the transaction and credit mitigation such as collateral or guarantees. The LGD values are calibrated to reflect a downturn macroeconomic environment and include recovery costs.

EAD represents the expected amount of credit exposure in the event of a default and reflects the current drawn exposure and an expectation regarding the future evolution of the credit exposure. For loan exposures, a credit conversion factor is applied to project the additional drawn amount between current utilization and the approved facility amount. The credit exposure related to traded products such as derivatives is based on a simulation using statistical models.

We use internal rating methodologies consistently for the purposes of approval, establishment and monitoring of credit limits, credit portfolio management, credit policy, management reporting, risk-adjusted performance measurement, economic risk capital measurement and allocation, and financial accounting.

**Credit limits**

Our credit exposures are managed at the counterparty and ultimate parent level in accordance with credit limits which apply in relation to notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure where appropriate. Credit limits are established to constrain the lending business where exposure is typically related to committed loan amounts, and similarly in relation to the trading business where exposure is typically subject to model-based estimation of future exposure amounts. Credit limits to counterparties and groups of connected companies are subject to formal approval under delegated authority, and where significant in terms of size or risk profile, are subject to further escalation to the Group chief credit officer or the CRO. In addition to credit limits based on current or potential credit exposure, divisions may also apply additional limits to constrain risk based on other risk metrics including stress scenario results.

In addition to counterparty and ultimate parent exposures, credit limits and flags are also applied at the portfolio level to monitor and manage risk concentrations such as to specific industries, countries or products. In addition, credit risk concentration is regularly supervised by credit and risk management committees. Breaches of credit limits and other risk constraints, including stress scenario impacts, are monitored on an ongoing basis with formal escalation procedures in place. Limit breaches require escalation to the relevant limit setting authority.

**Credit monitoring, impairments and provisions**

A credit quality monitoring process is performed to provide for early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of clients, and includes regular asset and collateral quality reviews, business and financial statement analysis, and relevant economic and industry studies. Credit Risk maintains regularly updated watch lists and holds review meetings to re-assess counterparties that could be subject to adverse changes in creditworthiness. The review of the credit quality of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment.

In the event that a deterioration in creditworthiness is likely to result in a default, credit exposures are transferred to the regional recovery management functions within Credit Risk. The determination of any allowance for credit losses in relation to such exposures is based on an assessment of the exposure profile and expectations for recovery. The recoverability of loans in recovery management is regularly reviewed. The frequency of the review depends on the individual risk profile of the respective positions.

We have an impairment process for loans valued at amortized cost which are specifically classified as potential problem loans, non-performing loans, non-interest-earning loans or restructured loans. The Group maintains specific allowances for credit losses, which we consider to be a reasonable estimate of losses identified in the existing credit portfolio, and provides for credit losses based on a regular and detailed analysis of all counterparties, taking collateral value into consideration, where applicable. If uncertainty exists as to the repayment of either principal or interest, a specific allowance for credit losses is either created or adjusted accordingly. The specific allowance for credit losses is revalued regularly by the recovery management function depending on the risk profile of the borrower or credit-relevant events. We regularly review the appropriateness of allowances for credit losses.

A general allowance for credit losses is estimated for all loans and other financial assets held at amortized cost and related off-balance sheet credit exposures not specifically identified as impaired. The methodology for the calculation of provisions and allowances for credit losses is a forward-looking expected loss approach which meets the requirements of the current expected credit losses (CECL) approach under US GAAP. The method for determining the inherent credit loss in certain lending portfolios is derived from calculating the expected lifetime credit loss via bespoke models and requires significant management judgment by means of a qualitative overlay process. The forward-looking component of the models is reflected through forecasts of portfolio- and region-specific macroeconomic factors. In addition to these factors for systematic risk, the models contain idiosyncratic risk drivers. Qualitative adjustments reflect remaining idiosyncratic and portfolio-specific risks, which are not captured in the models. The calibration of these models is based on internal and/or external data. PD estimates contain a time-dependent, forward-looking component. LGD estimates can contain loan-specific attributes. In addition, selected LGD models contain a forward-looking component. Similar to LGD models, EAD models can contain loan-specific and/or forward-looking information. Model outputs are subject to a monthly review process, and the related expected credit loss assessments require approval. We have established governance for approving the Group's provision and allowance for expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures and also the scenario weighting probabilities and baseline macroeconomic factors.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments held at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on our CECL methodology.

Changes in the credit quality of loans held at fair value are reflected in valuation changes recorded directly in revenues, and therefore are not part of the impaired loans balance which only includes loans valued on an amortized cost basis.

**Risk mitigation**

Drawn and undrawn credit exposures are managed by taking financial and non-financial collateral supported by enforceable legal documentation, as well as by utilizing credit hedging techniques. Financial collateral in the form of cash, marketable securities (e.g., equities, bonds or funds) and guarantees serves to mitigate the inherent risk of credit loss and to improve recoveries in the event of a default. Financial collateral received in the form of securities is subject to controls on eligibility and is supported by frequent market valuation depending on the asset class and are monitored to determine whether any margin calls are required to ensure exposures remain adequately collateralized. Depending on the quality of the collateral, appropriate haircuts are applied for risk management purposes. Collateral monitoring, management and margining are applied to credit exposures resulting from both on balance sheet financing of securities and synthetic financing of positions for clients through derivative contracts.

Non-financial collateral such as residential and commercial real estate, tangible assets (e.g., ships or aircraft), inventories and commodities are valued at the time of credit approval and periodically thereafter depending on the type of credit exposure and collateral coverage ratio.

In addition to collateral, we also utilize credit hedging in the form of protection provided by single-name and index credit default swaps as well as structured hedging and insurance products. Credit hedging is used to mitigate risks arising from the loan portfolio, loan underwriting exposures and counterparty credit risk. Hedging is intended to reduce the risk of loss from a specific counterparty default or broader downturn in markets that impact the overall credit risk portfolio. Credit hedging contracts are typically bilateral or centrally cleared derivative transactions and are subject to collateralized trading arrangements. Hedging risk mitigation is evaluated so that basis or tenor risk can be appropriately identified and managed.

In addition to collateral and hedging strategies, we also actively manage our loan portfolio and may sell or sub-participate positions in the loan portfolio as a further form of risk mitigation.

**Country risk**

As part of our overall risk management process, we manage our credit risk exposures to countries under a comprehensive country risk framework. Under the country risk framework, individual

stressed loss limits and potential exposure flags are set on an individual country basis, and exposures are managed on an ongoing basis by a dedicated country risk team. Defined stress scenario analyses are performed on a regular basis. We monitor the concentration of collateral underpinning our OTC derivative and reverse repurchase agreement exposures through monthly reporting, and also monitor the impact of sovereign rating downgrades on collateral eligibility.

**Governance of credit risk**

Credit risk is managed and controlled by the Credit Risk function and governed by a comprehensive framework of policies and committees. Key processes are reviewed through supervisory checks on a regular basis by Credit Risk, including the Group chief credit officer. Overall, credit risk is managed through a combination of divisional and legal entity risk controls, including by risk management committees and sub-committees, complemented by aggregate views of credit exposure at the Group level.

**Credit Risk Review**

Governance and supervisory checks within Credit Risk are supplemented by the Credit Risk Review function. The Credit Risk Review function is independent from Credit Risk with a direct functional reporting line to the Risk Committee Chair, administratively reporting to the CRO. Credit Risk Review assesses the Group's credit exposures and practices related to management of credit risk.

**Market risk**

**Definition**

Market risk is the risk of financial loss arising from movements in market risk factors. The movements in market risk factors that generate financial losses are considered to be adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices and other factors, such as market volatility and the correlation of market prices across asset classes. A typical transaction or position in financial instruments may be exposed to a number of different market risk factors. Market risks arise from both our trading and non-trading activities.

**Traded market risk**

**Sources of traded market risk**

Market risks mainly arise from our trading activities, primarily in the Investment Bank. Our trading activities typically include fair-valued positions and risks arising from our involvement in primary and secondary market activities, for client facilitation and market-making purposes, including derivatives markets.

The Group is active globally in the principal trading markets, using a wide range of trading and hedging products, including derivatives and structured products. Structured products are customized transactions often using combinations of financial instruments and are executed to meet specific client or internal needs. As a result of our broad participation in products and markets, the Group's trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a range of risks and locations.

The market risks associated with the portfolio, including the embedded derivative elements of our structured products, are actively monitored and managed as part of our overall risk management framework and are reflected in our VaR measures.

**Evaluation and management of traded market risk**

We use market risk measurement and management methods capable of calculating comparable exposures across our many activities and employ focused tools that can model specific characteristics of certain instruments or portfolios. The tools are used for internal market risk management, internal market risk reporting and external disclosure purposes. Our principal market risk measures for traded market risk are VaR, scenario analysis, as included in our stress testing framework, position risk, as included in our economic risk capital, and sensitivity analysis. These measures complement each other in our market risk assessment and are used to measure traded market risk at the Group level. In addition, a counterparty market risk function is designed to support the management of counterparty risk, leveraging product-related market risk knowledge to complement the credit risk approach. Our risk management practices are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate and fit for purpose.

**Measurement of traded market risk using value-at-risk**

VaR is a risk measure that quantifies the potential loss on a given portfolio of financial instruments over a certain holding period that is expected not to be exceeded at a certain confidence level. Positions are aggregated by risk factors rather than by product. For example, interest rate risk VaR captures potential losses driven by fluctuations of interest rates affecting a wide variety of interest rate products (such as interest rate swaps and swaptions) as well as other products (such as foreign exchange derivatives and equity derivatives) for which interest rate risk is not the primary market risk driver. The use of VaR allows the comparison of risk across different businesses. It also provides a means of aggregating and netting a variety of positions within a portfolio to reflect historical correlations between different assets, allowing for a portfolio diversification benefit. Our VaR model is designed to take into account a comprehensive set of risk factors across all asset classes, and includes certain foreign exchange risk and commodity risk within the banking book.

VaR is an important tool in risk management and is used for measuring quantifiable risks from our activities exposed to market risk on a daily basis. In addition, VaR is one of the main risk measures for limit monitoring, financial reporting, calculation of regulatory capital and regulatory backtesting.

Our VaR model is based on historical data moves that derive plausible future trading losses. The model is responsive to changes in market conditions through the use of exponential weighting that applies a greater weight to more recent events, and the use of expected shortfall measures to ensure extreme adverse events are considered in the model. We use the same VaR model for risk management (including limit monitoring and financial reporting), regulatory capital calculation and regulatory backtesting

purposes, although confidence level, holding period, historical look-back period and the scope of financial instruments considered can be different.

Our risk management VaR uses a rolling two-year historical dataset, a one-day holding period and a 98% confidence level. This means that we would expect daily mark-to-market trading losses to exceed the reported VaR not more than twice on average in 100 trading days over a multi-year observation period. The 98% confidence level VaR is calculated using an equivalent expected shortfall approach. The expected shortfall metric represents the average of the estimated worst losses beyond the confidence level. Risk management VaR is closely aligned to the model we use to measure regulatory VaR for capital purposes. Compared to regulatory VaR, however, it has a wider scope that includes trading book securitizations and banking book positions held at fair value. The scope of our risk management VaR is periodically reviewed to ensure it remains aligned with the internal risk framework and control processes.

For regulatory capital purposes, we operate under the Basel market risk framework which includes the following components for the calculation of regulatory capital: regulatory VaR, stressed VaR, IRC, RNIV, stressed RNIV and a regulatory-prescribed standardized approach for securitizations. The regulatory VaR for capital purposes uses a two-year historical dataset, a ten-day holding period and a 99% confidence level calculated using an expected shortfall approach. This measure is designed to capture risks in the trading book and foreign exchange and commodity risks in the banking book and excludes securitization positions, as these are treated under the securitization approach for regulatory purposes. Stressed VaR replicates the regulatory VaR calculation on the Group's current portfolio over a continuous one-year observation period that reflects a period of significant financial stress for the Group, selected from a longer historical dataset spanning from 2006 to the present. The historical dataset allows for the capturing of a longer history of potential loss events and helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk. IRC is a regulatory capital charge for default and migration risk on positions in the trading books that may not be captured adequately by the ten-day holding period assumption of regulatory VaR. RNIV captures a variety of risks, such as certain basis risks, higher order risks and cross risks between asset classes, not adequately captured by the VaR model for example due to lack of sufficient historical market data.

Backtesting VaR uses a two-year historical dataset, a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence level calculated using an expected shortfall approach. This measure captures risks in the trading book and includes securitization positions. Backtesting VaR is not a component used for the calculation of regulatory capital but may have an impact through the regulatory capital multiplier if the number of backtesting exceptions exceeds regulatory thresholds.

Assumptions used in our market risk measurement methods for regulatory capital purposes are compliant with the standards published by the BCBS and other international standards for market risk management. We have approval from FINMA, as well as from other regulators for our subsidiaries, to use our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of market risk capital requirements. Ongoing enhancements to our VaR methodology are subject to regulatory approval or notification depending on their materiality. The model is subject to regular reviews by regulators and the Group's independent Model Risk Management function.

Information required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework related to market risk is available on our website.

> Refer to "credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures" for further information.

> Refer to "Risk-weighted assets" in Capital management for further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of market risk capital requirements.

**VaR assumptions and limitations**

The VaR model uses assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonable, but VaR only quantifies the potential loss on a portfolio based on historical market conditions. The main assumptions and limitations of VaR as a risk measure are:

■ VaR relies on historical data to estimate future changes in market conditions. Historical scenarios may not capture all potential future outcomes, particularly where there are significant changes in market conditions, such as increases in volatilities and changes in the correlation of market prices across asset classes;

■ VaR provides an estimate of losses at a specified confidence level; the use of an expected shortfall equivalent measure allows all extreme adverse events to be considered in the model;

■ VaR is based on either a one-day (for internal risk management, backtesting and disclosure purposes) or a ten-day (for regulatory capital purposes) holding period. This assumes that risks can be either sold or hedged over the holding period, which may not be possible for all types of exposure, particularly during periods of market illiquidity or turbulence; it also assumes that risks will remain in existence over the entire holding period; and

■ VaR is calculated using positions held at the end of each business day and does not include intra-day changes in exposures.

To mitigate some of the VaR limitations and estimate losses associated with market movements that are unusually severe or not reflected in the historical observation period, we use other metrics designed for risk management purposes and described above, including stressed VaR, scenario analysis, as included in our stress testing framework, position risk, as included in our economic risk capital, and sensitivity analysis.

For some risk types there can be insufficient historical data for a calculation within the Group's VaR model. This often happens because underlying instruments may have traded only for a limited time. Where we do not have sufficient market data, the VaR calculation relies on market data proxies or extreme parameter moves. Market data proxies are selected to be as close to the underlying instrument as possible. Where neither a suitable market dataset nor a close proxy is available, extreme market moves are used.

We use a risk factor identification process to identify risks for capture. There are two parts to this process. First, the market data dependency approach systematically determines the risk requirements based on data inputs used by front-office pricing models and compares this with the risk types that are captured by the Group's VaR model and the RNIV framework. Second, the product-based approach is a qualitative analysis of product types undertaken in order to identify the risk types that those product types would be exposed to. A comparison is again made with the risk types that are captured in the VaR and RNIV frameworks. This process identifies risks that are not yet captured in the VaR model or the RNIV framework. A plan for including these risks in either framework can then be devised. RNIV is captured in both our regulatory capital and economic risk capital framework.

**VaR backtesting**

Backtesting is one of the techniques used to assess the accuracy and performance of our VaR model used by the Group for risk management and regulatory capital purposes and serves to highlight areas of potential enhancements. Backtesting is used by regulators to assess the adequacy of the internal model approach-based regulatory capital held by the Group, the calculation of which includes regulatory VaR and stressed VaR.

Backtesting involves comparing the results produced by the VaR model with the hypothetical trading revenues on the trading book. Hypothetical trading revenues are defined in compliance with regulatory requirements and aligned with the VaR model output by excluding (i) non-market elements (such as fees, commissions, cancellations and terminations, net cost of funding and credit-related valuation adjustments) and (ii) gains and losses from intra-day trading. A backtesting exception occurs when a hypothetical trading loss exceeds the daily VaR estimate.

For capital purposes and in line with BIS requirements, FINMA increases the capital multiplier for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period, resulting in an incremental market risk capital requirement for the Group. VaR models with less than five backtesting exceptions are considered by regulators to be classified in a defined "green zone". The "green zone" corresponds to backtesting results that do not themselves suggest a problem with the quality or accuracy of a bank's model.

**Scenario analysis**

Market risk stress testing and scenarios quantify portfolio impacts under stressed market conditions, expressed as a potential loss number, which can be used in conjunction with other metrics such as market risk sensitivities and VaR to manage the Group's exposure to traded market risk. The analysis performed by the market risk scenarios team supports the daily risk management of specific businesses, as well as their understanding of the impact of scenarios run across the Group, either for internal assessments or for regulatory requests. Stress testing is essential for understanding the impact of large market moves and is particularly important for portfolios that hold complex and exotic instruments, where the risk profile is non-linear or where the value of the positions may be contingent on several factors (known as cross-risks), or on less liquid risk factors such as correlation.

Market risk stress testing is also used to model potential outcomes and capture vulnerabilities of the trading portfolios around specific macroeconomic or geopolitical events. These outcomes are used to guide business activities and develop risk management strategies during such events and are often supported with risk constraints, which limit potential loss given the likelihood of the event, in line with the Group's risk appetite.

**Credit, debit and funding valuation adjustments**

Credit valuation adjustments (CVA) are modifications to the measurement of the value of derivative assets used to reflect the credit risk of counterparties.

Debit valuation adjustments (DVA) are modifications to the measurement of the value of derivative liabilities used to reflect an entity's own credit risk.

Funding valuation adjustments (FVA) reflect the fair value costs and benefits of funding associated with (i) any under-collateralized portions of a derivative and (ii) the funding of equivalent transferable collateral where the proceeds of any derivative collateralization cannot be sold or repledged.

These adjustments and their impact on revenues are not captured by the VaR framework.

**Traded market risk constraints**

Our market risk constraints framework encompasses specific constraints on various market risk measures, including VaR and results of scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis at the Group, Bank, divisional, legal entity, branch and business levels. For example, we have controls over consolidated traded market risk exposures as well as concentrations in the portfolio. Risk constraints are cascaded to lower organizational levels within the businesses. Risk limits are binding and any significant increase in risk exposures is escalated in a timely manner. Market risk limit breaches are subject to a formal escalation procedure and the incremental risk associated with the breach must be approved by the responsible risk manager within the Market Risk function, with escalation to senior management if certain thresholds are exceeded. The majority of the market risk limits are monitored on a daily basis. Limits for which the inherent calculation time is longer or for which the risk profile changes less often are monitored less frequently depending on the nature of the limit (weekly or monthly). The business is mandated to remediate market risk limit breaches within three business days upon notification. Remediation actions that take longer than three days are subject to an out-of-policy remediation process with senior management escalation.

**Mitigation of traded market risk**

Once a transaction has been executed, it is captured as part of our risk monitoring processes and subject to the market risk constraints framework. Specific policies are in place that are intended to ensure that for any new material and/or unusual transactions,

the Market Risk function has been engaged and appropriate approvals are sought. These transactions are reviewed and approved by the Market Risk function so that the risk profile of the portfolio is in line with the risk appetite after execution.

Traded market risk is mitigated using financial securities, derivatives, insurance contracts or other appropriate means.

**Governance of traded market risk**

Traded market risk is managed and controlled by the Market Risk function, which includes legal entity and divisional chief risk officers, and governed by a comprehensive framework of policies and committees.

Oversight of the Market Risk function is provided by various committees and supervisory reviews at the Group, legal entity and divisional level, covering the related framework, risk appetite, quantitative approaches, evolving risk profile, material new trades and new business activity. The committees are comprised of senior Market Risk personnel. Relevant topics are escalated to senior management.

The governance framework is designed to ensure appropriate oversight of the Group's traded market risk exposures.

Like other models, our VaR model is subject to internal governance including validation by a team of modeling experts that are independent from the model developers. Validation includes identifying and testing the model's assumptions and limitations, investigating its performance through historical and potential future stress events, and testing that the live implementation of the model behaves as intended. We employ a range of different control processes to help ensure that the models used for traded market risk remain appropriate over time. We have established governance to regularly review model performance and approve any new or amended models.

**Non-traded market risk**

**Sources of non-traded market risk**

Non-traded market risk primarily relates to asset and liability mismatch exposures in our banking book. Our businesses and Treasury have non-traded portfolios that carry market risks, mainly related to changes in interest rates but also to changes in foreign exchange rates.

We assume interest rate risks through lending and deposit-taking, money market and funding activities, and the deployment of our consolidated equity as well as other activities at the divisional level. Non-maturing products, such as savings accounts, have no contractual maturity date or direct market-linked interest rate and are risk-managed on a pooled basis using replication portfolios on behalf of the business divisions. Replication portfolios transform non-maturing products into a series of fixed-term products that approximate the re-pricing and volume behavior of the pooled client transactions.

Information required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework related to interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) is available on our website.

> Refer to "credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures" for further information.

The majority of non-traded foreign exchange risk is associated with our investments in foreign branches, subsidiaries and affiliates denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency of the Group (i.e., Swiss francs) and includes related hedges. This is referred to as "structural foreign exchange risk". The remaining non-traded foreign exchange risk relates to our banking book positions other than from our investments in foreign operations and is managed under the risk appetite framework for traded market risk.

**Evaluation and management of non-traded market risk**

We monitor IRRBB through established systems, processes and controls. Risk measures are provided to estimate the impact of changes in interest rates both in terms of risk to earnings as well as risk to the economic value of the Group's asset and liability position. For the purpose of this disclosure, IRRBB is measured using sensitivity analysis, which measures the potential change in economic value resulting from specified hypothetical shocks to interest rates. It is not a measure of the potential impact on reported earnings in the current period, since it takes into account accrual accounted positions as well as certain positions that are carried at fair value.

While structural foreign exchange risk is specified and measured in terms of sensitivity to hypothetical foreign currency shocks, it is excluded from regulatory market risk measurement. The sensitivity to hypothetical foreign currency shocks is also used to define our risk appetite constraints. Along with the management of the Group's CET1 ratio sensitivity to moves in foreign exchange rates, we measure and monitor sensitivities for several other key metrics, such as leverage ratios.

**Non-traded market risk constraints**

Non-traded market risk leverages the market risk constraints framework that encompasses specific constraints on various market risk measures, including VaR and results of scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis at the Group, Bank, divisional, legal entity and business levels, as described above for traded market risk constraints. These are supplemented by additional risk controls for structural foreign exchange risk and IRRBB.

**Mitigation of non-traded market risk**

The Group's risk appetite level for IRRBB is primarily driven by the available capital and is allocated to the Group's material legal entities. The Group does not have a regulatory requirement to hold capital against IRRBB. The economic impacts of adverse shifts in interest rates from FINMA-defined scenarios are significantly below 15% of tier 1 capital, which is the threshold used by FINMA to identify banks that potentially run excessive levels of interest rate risk at group and legal entity levels.

The Group aims to keep a limited risk profile for the economic value of the Group's asset and liability position while maintaining high earnings stability. This is addressed mainly by systematic hedging of issued debt and interest rate risk arising from loans and deposit maturity mismatches in the private banking business. The main instruments used for hedging are interest rate swaps.

Structural foreign exchange risk is actively managed by Treasury through the execution of currency hedges with the aim of neutralizing the sensitivity of the Group's CET1 ratio to adverse movements in foreign exchange rates within parameters set out in the risk appetite framework.

**Governance of non-traded market risk**

Non-traded market risk is integrated into the Group's risk appetite framework, including risk constraints under the authority of the Board and the Executive Board. Risk management committees are responsible for the oversight and approval of related risk models, global policies, manuals, guidelines and procedures. Divisional and legal entity risk management committees review non-traded market risk-related matters specific to their local entities and jurisdictions.

**Non-financial risk**

**Definition and sources of non-financial risk**

Non-financial risk is the risk of an adverse direct or indirect impact originating from sources outside the financial markets. Non-financial risk is inherent in most aspects of our business, including the systems and processes that support our activities. It comprises a large number of disparate risks that can manifest in a variety of ways. Examples include the risk of damage to physical assets, business disruption, failures relating to data integrity and trade processing, cyber attacks, internal or external fraudulent or unauthorized transactions, inappropriate cross-border activities, money laundering, improper handling of confidential information, conflicts of interest, improper gifts and entertainment and failure in duties to clients.

Non-financial risk can arise from a wide variety of internal and external forces, including human error, inappropriate conduct, failures in systems, processes and controls, pandemic, deliberate attack or natural and man-made disasters. Outsourcing and external third parties may also create risks around maintaining business processes, system stability, data loss, data management, reputation and regulatory compliance. Certain of the present main categories and sources of non-financial risk are described below.

**Operational risk**

Operational risk is the risk of an adverse impact arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events. Operational risk does not include business and reputational risks; however, some operational risks can lead to reputational issues and as such these risks may be closely linked. Operational risk includes but is not limited to technology risk, cyber risk, legal risk, compliance risk, regulatory risk and conduct risk. In addition, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022.

> Refer to "Controls and procedures" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Technology risk**

Technology risk deserves particular attention given the complex technological landscape that covers our business model. Ensuring that confidentiality, integrity and availability of information assets are protected is critical to our operations. Technology risk is the risk that system-related failures, such as service outages or information security incidents, may disrupt business. Technology risk is inherent not only in our IT assets, but also in the people and processes that interact with them including through dependency on third-party suppliers and the worldwide telecommunications infrastructure. We seek to ensure that the data used to support key business processes and reporting is secure, complete, accurate, available, timely and meets appropriate quality and integrity standards. We require our critical IT systems to be identified, secure, resilient and available to support our ongoing operations, decision-making, communications and reporting. Our systems must also have the capabilities, capacity, scalability and adaptability to meet current and future business objectives, the needs of our customers and regulatory and legal expectations. Failure to meet these standards and requirements may result in adverse events that could subject us to reputational damage, fines, litigation, regulatory sanctions, financial losses or loss of market share. Technology risks are managed through our technology risk management program, business continuity management and operational resiliency plans. Technology risks are included as part of our overall non-financial risk assessments based upon a forward-looking approach focusing on the most significant risks in terms of potential impact and likelihood.

**Cyber risk**

Cyber risk, which can be driven by people, process and/or technology, is the risk that the Group will be compromised as a result of cyber attacks, security breaches, unauthorized access, loss or destruction of data, unavailability of service, computer viruses, employee misconduct or other events that could have an adverse security or resilience impact. Any such event could subject us to litigation or cause us to suffer a financial loss, a disruption of our businesses, liability to our clients, regulatory intervention or reputational damage. We could also be required to expend significant additional resources to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures.

We recognize that cyber risk represents a rapidly evolving external risk landscape. The financial industry continues to face cyber threats from a variety of actors who are driven by monetary, political and other motivations. We actively monitor external and internal incidents and threats and assess and respond accordingly, including modifying our protective measures, to any potential vulnerabilities that this may reveal. We are also an active participant in industry forums and information exchange initiatives and engage in regulatory consultation on this subject.

We have an enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy to provide strategic guidance as part of our efforts to achieve an optimized end-to-end security and risk competence to enable a secure and innovative business environment, aligned with the Group's risk appetite. A technology security team leverages a wide array of leading technology solutions and industry best practices to support our efforts to manage and maintain a secure information infrastructure, perform vulnerability assessments and detect and respond to information security threats.

We regularly assess the effectiveness of key controls and conduct ongoing employee training and awareness activities, including for key management personnel, in order to embed a strong cyber risk culture. As part of the non-financial risk framework (NFRF), risk management committees are given updates on the broader technology risk exposure.

Significant incidents are escalated to the Risk Committee together with key findings and mitigating actions. Related business continuity and response plans are tested.

**Legal risk**

Legal risk is the risk of loss or imposition of damages, fines, penalties or other liability or any other material adverse impact arising from circumstances including the failure to comply with legal obligations, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, changes in enforcement practices, the making of a legal challenge or claim against us, our inability to enforce legal rights or the failure to take measures to protect our rights.

**Compliance risk**

Compliance risk is the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions or financial loss that may result from the failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules or market standards.

**Regulatory risk**

Regulatory risk is the risk that changes in laws, regulations, rules or market standards may limit our activities and have a negative effect on our business or our ability to implement strategic initiatives, or can result in an increase in operating costs for the business or make our products and services more expensive for clients.

**Conduct risk**

The Group considers conduct risk to be the risk that improper behavior or judgment by our employees may result in a negative financial, non-financial or reputational impact to our clients, employees or the Group, or negatively impact the integrity of the financial markets. Conduct risk may arise from a wide variety of activities and types of behaviors. A Group-wide definition of conduct risk supports the efforts of our employees to have a common understanding of and consistently manage and mitigate our conduct risk. Further, it promotes standards of responsible conduct and ethics in our employees. Managing conduct risk includes consideration of the risks generated by each business and the strength of the associated mitigating controls. Periodic monitoring of conduct risk metrics is based on thresholds set by severity level, with material trends identified and escalated as appropriate to senior management. Conduct risk is also assessed by reviewing and learning from past incidents within the Group and at other firms in the financial services sector.

The ongoing focus and investment in a strong risk culture is fundamental to the management of conduct risk. The Group's Code of Conduct provides a clear statement on the behavioral expectations, supported by our cultural values.

> Refer to "Culture" in Risk management oversight and to "Corporate governance framework" in IV – Corporate Governance – Overview for further information on our Code of Conduct.

**Evaluation and management of non-financial risks**

We aim to maintain the integrity of our business, operations and reputation as a core principle guiding the management and oversight of non-financial risks by ensuring that our day-to-day operations are sustainable and resilient, do not expose us to significant losses and enable our employees to make decisions and conduct business in line with our values and desired reputation as a firm.

Each business area and function is responsible for its risks and the provision of adequate resources and procedures for the management of those risks. They are supported by the designated second line of defense functions responsible for independent risk and compliance oversight, methodologies, tools and reporting within their areas as well as working with management on non-financial risk issues that arise. Businesses and relevant control functions meet regularly to discuss risk issues and identify required actions to mitigate risks.

The Non-Financial Risk function oversees the Group's established NFRF, providing a consistent and unified approach to evaluating and monitoring the Group's non-financial risks. Non-financial risk appetites are established and monitored under the Group-wide risk appetite framework, aligned with the NFRF, which sets common minimum standards across the Group for non-financial risk and control processes and review and challenge activities. Risk and control assessments are in place across all divisions and functions, consisting of the risk and control self-assessments and compliance risk assessments. Key non-financial risks are identified annually and represent the most significant risks requiring senior management attention. Where appropriate, remediation plans are put in place with ownership and ongoing oversight by senior management. In the event of significant internal or external events, risk identification processes are adjusted to assess additional or emerging risk concentrations and related mitigating actions that may be required.

**Non-financial risk capital management**

Our activities to manage non-financial risk capital include scenario analysis and operational risk regulatory capital measurement, as further described below. In addition, we transfer the risk of potential losses from non-financial risks to third-party insurance companies in certain instances.

**Non-financial risk scenario analysis**

Non-financial risk scenario analysis is a forward-looking tool that is used to identify and measure exposure to a range of potential adverse events, such as unauthorized trading, transaction processing errors and compliance issues. These scenarios help businesses and functions assess the suitability of controls in light of existing risks and estimate hypothetical but plausible risk exposures. Scenarios are developed to support stressed loss projections and capital calculations in response to requirements set by regulatory agencies in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

**Non-financial risk stress loss projections**

Operational losses may increase in frequency and magnitude during periods of economic stress and/or market volatility. We estimate the potential operational losses that may be experienced under a range of adverse economic conditions by quantifying historically observed relationships between operational losses and the economy, and through expert consideration of impacts on key non-financial risks. These estimates inform Group-wide stress tests measuring the bank's resilience across a range of economic scenarios.

**Non-financial risk regulatory capital measurement**

We use internally validated and approved models to calculate our regulatory capital requirements for non-financial risk (also referred to as "operational risk capital") across the Group and for major legal entities. For Group regulatory capital requirements, we apply the advanced measurement approach (AMA), an internal models-based approach to statistically estimate an operational loss distribution using internal and external loss data. Business experts and senior management review and challenge model parameters in light of changes of business environment and internal control factors to ensure that the capital projection reflects a forward-looking view of risk. Deductions are applied to the regulatory capital requirements to account for the mitigating values of insurance policies held by the bank. The regulatory capital requirement represents the 99.9th percentile of the estimated distribution of total operational losses for the Group over a one-year time horizon. A risk-sensitive approach is applied to allocate capital to the businesses.

**Governance of non-financial risks** 

Effective governance processes establish clear roles and responsibilities for managing non-financial risks and define appropriate escalation processes for outcomes that are outside expected levels. We utilize a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that set out how employees are expected to conduct their activities, including clearly defined roles and accountability for each of the three lines of defense to achieve appropriate segregation of duties.

The Non-Financial Risk function is responsible for setting minimum standards for managing non-financial risks at the Group level. This includes ensuring the cohesiveness of policies and procedures, tools and practices throughout the Group, particularly with regard to the identification, evaluation, mitigation, monitoring and reporting of these risks. Other second line of defense oversight functions are responsible for setting supplemental policies and procedures where applicable. The Non-Financial Risk function also oversees the global read-across framework, under which the Group performs comprehensive reviews of risk events and/or emerging risks to identify underlying root causes, and considers their applicability across other divisions, significant legal entities or corporate functions with the goal of minimizing re-occurrence in a sustainable manner through enhancements of processes and/or key controls to support reduction of relevant residual risks.

Non-financial risk exposures, metrics, issues and remediation efforts are discussed in various risk management committees across the organization. Key, significant and trending non-financial risk themes are discussed in governance forums where appropriate, including risk themes that may emerge due to significant internal or external events and any corresponding tactical or strategic control enhancements that may be required in order to maintain adequate internal controls in response to such events.

**Model risk**

In line with peer banks, we rely on advanced quantitative models and qualitative estimation approaches across business lines and legal entities to support a broad range of applications, including estimating various forms of financial risk, valuation of securities, stress testing activities, capital adequacy assessments, providing wealth management services to clients and to meet various reporting requirements.

**Definition and sources of model risk**

Model risk is the risk of adverse consequences from decisions made based on model results that may be incorrect, misinterpreted or used inappropriately. All models and qualitative estimation approaches are imperfect approximations and assumptions that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty in their output depending on, among other factors, the model's complexity and its intended application. As a result, modeling and estimation errors may result in inappropriate business decisions, financial loss, regulatory and reputational risk and incorrect or inadequate capital reporting. Model errors, intrinsic uncertainty and inappropriate use are the primary contributors to aggregate Group-wide model risk.

**Evaluation and management of model risk**

Through our global model risk management and governance framework we seek to identify, measure and mitigate significant risks arising from the use of models embedded within our global model ecosystem. Model risks can be managed through a well-designed and robust model risk management framework, encompassing model governance policies and procedures, model validation best practices and actionable model risk reporting.

Robust model risk management is crucial to ensuring that the Group's model risk is assessed and managed leveraging a central inventory that includes all models used by the Group in order to remain within a defined model risk appetite by focusing on identification, measurement and resolution of model limitations. Under the Group's model governance policies, the Model Risk Management functionvalidates and approves models, including new models and material changes to existing models, in compliance with standards established by regulators. Developers, owners

and model supervisors are responsible for identifying, developing, implementing and testing their models. Model supervisors are responsible for ensuring that models are submitted to the Model Risk Management function to be entered into the Group's model inventory and subsequently validated and approved. The Model Risk Management function is structured to be independent from model users, developers and supervisors.

A rigorous validation practice should ensure that models are conceptually sound, appropriately implemented by model owners and developers and functioning as intended. To accomplish this, model risk management deploys a validation team comprising objective, well-informed subject matter experts with the necessary skills and knowledge to apply effective challenge across model types to mitigate model risk.

In line with the Group model governance policies, all models are risk-tiered based on an internal scoring method which combines model complexity, materiality and reliance to assign models into one of four risk tiers. These inherent risk ratings, or tiers, are used to prioritize models, including resource allocations for validations, periodic reviews and ongoing monitoring as well as to inform the depth of validation activities.

**Governance of model risk**

Governance is an important aspect of model risk management. Model risk reports are presented and discussed at various model review committees to ensure appropriate oversight of model risk issues, observe progress in corresponding remediation actions and initiate any required escalations.

The Model Risk Management function reviews models, reports model limitations to key stakeholders, tracks remediation plans for validation findings and reports on model risk tolerance and metrics to senior management. The Model Risk Management function oversees controls to facilitate a complete and accurate Group-wide model inventory and coordinates semi-annual attestations by the first line of defense with the aim of achieving completeness and accuracy of its model inventory.

**Reputational risk**

**Definition and sources of reputational risk**

Reputational risk is the risk that negative perception by our stakeholders, including clients, counterparties, employees, shareholders, regulators and the general public, may adversely impact client acquisition and damage our business relationships with clients and counterparties, affecting staff morale and reducing access to funding sources.

Reputational risk may arise from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, the nature or purpose of a proposed transaction or service, the identity or activity of a potential client, the regulatory or political climate in which the business will be transacted, significant public attention surrounding the transaction itself or the potential sustainability risks of a transaction. Sustainability risks have potentially adverse impacts on the environment, on people or society, which may be caused by, contributed to or directly linked to financial service providers, usually through the activities of their clients. These may manifest themselves as reputational risks, but potentially also other risk types such as credit or non-financial risks. Reputational risk may also arise from reputational damage in the aftermath of a non-financial risk incident, such as cyber crime or the failure by employees to meet expected conduct and ethical standards.

**Evaluation and management of reputational risk**

Reputational risk is included in the Group's risk appetite framework to ensure that risk-taking is aligned with the approved risk appetite. We highly value our reputation and are fully committed to protecting it through a prudent approach to risk-taking and a responsible approach to business. This is achieved through a culture of risk awareness as well as dedicated processes, resources and policies focused on identifying, evaluating, managing and reporting potential reputational risks. This is also achieved by applying the highest standards of personal accountability and ethical conduct as set out in the Group's Code of Conduct and the Group's approach to cultural values and behaviors. Reputational risk potentially arising from proposed business transactions, client activity or joining initiatives or affiliations (including joining third-party groups, providing support to causes, speaking engagements, charitable donations, political donations directly or through sponsorships) is assessed in the reputational risk review process. The Group's global policy on reputational risk requires employees to be conservative when assessing potential reputational impact and, where certain indicators give rise to potential reputational risk, the relevant business proposal or service must be submitted through the reputational risk review process. This involves a submission by an originator (any employee), approval by a business area head or designee, and its subsequent referral for evaluation by a reputational risk approver or by the respective divisional client risk committee. Reputational risk approvers are experienced and high-ranking senior managers, independent of the business divisions with the authority to approve, reject or impose conditions (also in relation to environmental or social matters) on a transaction or the establishment of a client relationship. In cases of particularly complex or cross-divisional transactions, the decision may be escalated to relevant client risk committees.

For transactions with potential sustainability risks, the internal specialist unit Sustainability Risk evaluates the nature of the transaction and Credit Suisse's role, the identity and activities of the client and the regulatory context of its operations, and assesses the environmental and social aspects of the client's operations, products or services. The team determines whether the client's activities are consistent with the relevant industry standards and whether the potential transaction is compatible with Credit Suisse's policies and guidelines for sensitive sectors. The outcome of this analysis is submitted to the responsible business unit and/or entered into the reputational risk review process for evaluation by a reputational risk approver.

**Governance of reputational risk**

The ExB RMC and client risk committees are the governing bodies responsible for the oversight and active discussion of client, transaction and affiliation risks. At the Board level, the Risk Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its reputational risk oversight responsibilities by reviewing and approving the Group's risk appetite framework as well as assessing the adequacy of the management of reputational and sustainability risks.

In order to inform our stakeholders about how we manage some of the sustainability risks inherent to the banking business, we publish our Sustainability Report, in which we also describe our efforts to conduct our operations in a manner that is environmentally and socially responsible and broadly contributes to society.

> Refer to "credit-suisse.com/sustainabilityreport" for our Sustainability Report.

**Climate-related risks**

**Definition of climate-related risks**

Climate-related risks are the potentially adverse direct and indirect impacts on the Group's financial metrics, operations or reputation due to transition or physical effects of climate change.

Climate-related risks are a core element of sustainability risks. Sustainability risks have potentially adverse impacts on the environment, on people or society, which may be caused by, contributed to or directly linked to financial service providers, usually through the activities of their clients. These may manifest themselves as reputational risks, but potentially also other risk types such as credit or non-financial risks.

**Sources of climate-related risks**

Physical risks can arise from climate and weather-related events (e.g., heatwaves, droughts, floods, storms and sea-level rise) and can potentially result in material financial losses, impairing asset values and the creditworthiness of borrowers. Physical climate-related risks can affect us as an organization either directly, through our physical assets, costs and operations, or indirectly, through our financial relationships with our clients. Direct physical risks of climate change are assessed through the business continuity management program alongside other direct physical risks such as natural disasters. With regard to indirect physical risks, we assess climate-related risks by applying physical models to our portfolios, starting with pilot assessments for certain legal entities.

Transition risks can arise from the process of adjustment toward a low-carbon economy through changes in climate policy, technological developments and disruptive business models, and shifting investor and consumer sentiment.

**Evaluation and management of climate-related risks**

Climate-related risks are one of the environmental aspects considered as part of Credit Suisse's broader sustainability risk agenda and Credit Suisse recognizes its share of responsibilities in combating climate change by supporting the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. As a financial institution, we are committed to playing our part in addressing this global challenge through our role as a financial intermediary between the economy, the environment and society.

Credit Suisse's climate approach follows three key objectives, which are anchored in our overarching sustainability and climate risk strategy: First, the Group seeks to support its clients' transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient business models by aligning its in-scope corporate lending and investment portfolios to 1.5°C pathways, engaging with clients to understand their financing needs and directing capital toward climate solutions. Second, the Group seeks to achieve its goal of net zero emissions across its own operations and supply chain, and operate its business in an environmentally sustainable manner, and third, the Group is committed to systematically identifying, mitigating and managing potential risks that climate change may pose on its business. In 2022, as part of our climate risk strategy program, we continued to enhance our disclosures incorporating more granular data and portfolio views in connection with the guidelines from the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/sustainabilityreport for our Sustainability Report and to credit-suisse.com/tcfd for an extract of disclosures in accordance with TCFD.

**Climate-related risk management frameworks and approach to risk management**

We have identified sensitive sectors which pose greater environmental and social risks (including impacts to the climate) and have specific policies and guidelines in place, taking into account standards developed by international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank or the International Finance Corporation (IFC). These policies and guidelines govern the responsible provision of our financial services to clients within these identified sectors. Our risk management framework incorporates an assessment of whether a transaction or client relationship under review is in line with our sector policies and relevant industry standards and good practice. Consequently, within the reputational risk review process, we evaluate factors such as a company's greenhouse gas footprint or its energy efficiency targets and we assess whether in-scope clients have a plan in place to address climate-related risks.

Climate-related risks are a core element of sustainability risks. The objective of sustainability risk reviews is to identify and prevent adverse impacts on the environment, on people or society through financial services provided for the activities of a bank's clients or prospective clients.

Through our sector policies and guidelines, we have identified business activities and operations that Credit Suisse will not finance. In 2022, we expanded our sector policies to cover the financing of climate-sensitive sectors, including oil sands, deep sea mining, Arctic oil and gas, and palm oil. Also in 2022, Asset Management and Investment Solutions & Sustainability (IS&S) within Wealth Management introduced for selected offerings new policies on Arctic oil and gas and oil sands, effective as of April 2023, as well as a coal phase-out plan by 2030.

In 2022, we further expanded the scope of our client energy transition framework (CETF) to cover the additional sectors of agriculture and petrochemicals. With this, our CETF now covers eight sectors (oil and gas, coal mining, power generation (fossil fuel-based), shipping, aviation, commodities trade finance (fossil fuel-based), agriculture and petrochemicals). The CETF is used to identify priority sectors and includes a methodology to categorize clients that operate in these sectors according to their energy transition readiness. With this approach, we aim to encourage clients to transition along the CETF scale over time and support them through financing and advisory services.

Furthermore, following the net zero trajectory we introduced in 2021 for lending to oil, gas and coal clients, and the Poseidon Principles trajectory for lending to shipping clients, additional Net Zero trajectories have been introduced in 2022 covering lending in the sectors of power generation, automotive, commercial real estate, iron and steel and aluminum. Net zero portfolio trajectories have also been set for Asset Management and discretionary mandates of IS&S within Wealth Management. These net zero frameworks support the management of credit, investment and reputational risks associated to the transition toward a decarbonized economy.

**Governance of climate-related risks**

Climate change-related responsibilities are included in the Board's Risk Committee charter. Additionally, at the Board level, we have a Sustainability Advisory Committee. At the Executive Board level, the ExB RMC assumes responsibility for the overall climate strategy and is mandated to ensure that the capabilities for the management of relevant long-term risk trends, including climate change, are put in place. Furthermore, key internal policies, both at the Group and legal entity level, have been progressively expanded to incorporate important elements of climate risk management. For complex and high risk client transactions, including clients with business practices associated with material environmental and/or social issues, a comprehensive risk assessment is performed with escalation to relevant client risk committees.

A dedicated Climate Risk function provides specialized capabilities to assess and manage the multifaceted aspects of climate-related risks.

**Business risk**

**Definition and sources of business risk**

Business risk is the risk of not achieving our financial goals and ambitions in connection with the Group's strategy and how the business is managed in response to the external operating environment. External factors include both market and economic conditions, as well as shifts in the regulatory environment. Internally, we face risks arising from inappropriate strategic decisions, ineffective implementation of business strategies or an inability to adapt business strategies in response to changes in the operating environment, including in relation to client and competitor behavior.

The Group depends on dividends, distributions and other payments from its subsidiaries and the capital payouts in these subsidiaries might be restricted as a result of regulatory, tax or other constraints. Our businesses are also exposed to a variety of risks that could adversely impact the Group's dividend payments.

Business risk also includes risks associated with the Group's illiquid investments. These investments are defined as investments held in the banking book usually with longer-term time horizons and are not subject to our market risk framework (e.g., VaR measurement). Illiquid investments include private equity, hedge fund and mutual fund seed and co-investments, strategic investments (e.g., joint ventures and minority investments) as well as other investments, such as collateralized loan obligations (CLO) mandated by regulatory risk retention requirements. Trading assets and banking book loans are not covered under the illiquid investment risk framework.

**Evaluation and management of business risk**

The Group financial plan serves as the basis for the financial goals and ambitions against which the businesses and legal entities are assessed regularly throughout the year. These regular reviews include evaluations of financial performance, capitalization and capital usage, key business risks, overall operating environment and business strategy. This enables management to identify and execute changes to the Group's operations and strategy where needed.

**Governance of business risk**

Strategic and related financial plans are developed by each division annually and aggregated into a Group financial plan, which is reviewed by the CRO, CFO and CEO before presentation to the full Executive Board and the Board. On a regular basis, the Board and the Executive Board conduct more fundamental in-depth reviews of the Group's strategy and reassess our performance objectives.

> Refer to "Strategy" in I – Information on the company for further information on our revised strategy.

Illiquid investment risk is integrated into the Group's risk appetite framework, including risk constraints under the authority of the Board and Executive Board. The divisional risk management committees and associated sub-committees are responsible for the day-to-day oversight and approval of related risk models, guidelines and procedures.

**Fiduciary risk**

**Definition and sources of fiduciary risk**

Fiduciary risk is the risk of financial loss arising when the Group or its employees, acting in a fiduciary capacity as trustee, investment manager or as mandated by law, do not act in the best interest of the client in connection with the provision of advice and/or management of our client's assets including from a product-related market, credit, liquidity, counterparty and non-financial risk perspective.

**Evaluation and management of fiduciary risk**

With regard to fiduciary risk that relates to discretionary investment-related activities, assessing investment performance and reviewing forward-looking investment risks in our client portfolios and investment funds is central to our investment oversight program. Areas of focus include:

■ Measuring and monitoring investment performance of discretionary client portfolios and investment funds and comparing the returns against benchmarks and peer groups to understand level, sources and drivers of the returns.

■ Assessing risk measures such as exposure, sensitivities, stress scenarios, expected volatility and liquidity across our portfolios as part of our efforts to manage the assets in line with the clients' expectations and risk tolerance.

■ Treating clients with a prudent standard of care, which includes information disclosure, subscriptions and redemptions processes, trade execution and requiring the highest ethical conduct.

■ Ensuring discretionary portfolio managers' investment approach is in accordance with prospectus, regulations and client guidelines.

■ Monitoring client investment guidelines or investment fund limits. In certain cases, internal limits or guidelines are also established and monitored.

Fiduciary risks from activities other than discretionary investment management, such as the advised portfolios, are managed and monitored in a similar oversight program. This program is actively managed in cooperation with the Compliance function and is based on the suitability framework.

**Governance of fiduciary risk**

Sound governance is essential for all discretionary management activities including trade execution and the investment process. Our program targets daily, monthly or quarterly monitoring of all portfolio management activities with independent analysis provided to senior management. Formal review meetings are in place as part of our efforts to ensure that investment performance and risks are in line with expectations and adequately supervised.

**Pension risk**

**Definition and sources of pension risk**

Pension risk is the financial risk from contractual or other liabilities to which we are exposed as a sponsor of and/or participant in pension plans. It is the risk that we may be required to make unexpected payments or other contributions to a pension plan because of a potential obligation (i.e., underfunding).

We sponsor three types of pension plans:

■ defined benefit plans;

■ defined contribution plans; and

■ our Swiss savings plan.

Pension risk arises from defined benefit plans and the Swiss savings plan, which has elements of a defined benefit plan. Under these plans, we, as the plan sponsor, bear the potential risk of having to provide additional funding in the event of a plan shortfall whereby the plan liabilities exceed the plan assets. Under defined contribution plans there is no defined benefit at retirement and the employee bears the investment risk; as a result, the plan sponsor is not responsible for a shortfall. The majority of our pension risk derives from the defined benefit plans in Switzerland, the UK and the US.

Sources of risks can be broadly categorized into asset investment risks (e.g., underperformance of bonds, equities and alternative investments) and liability risks, primarily from changes in interest rates, inflation and longevity.

**Evaluation and management of pension risk**

**Pension plan structure**

The Group's major pension plans are established as separate entities from the sponsor firm and are governed by trustees who are charged with safeguarding the interests of the plan members pursuant to statutory and regulatory requirements. Risk-taking activity within the Group's pension funds is not typically within the direct control of the sponsor firm. There is however a risk that we, as the plan sponsor, may have a potential obligation to contribute due to underfunding which could have a negative impact on the Group's capital and income before taxes.

**Metrics and targets**

Pension risk forms an integral part of the Group's risk appetite assessment with internal macro-economic stress scenarios used for Group-wide stress testing. These are incremental to the assessment performed by the trustees and their external advisers.

Within Risk, pension risk is measured and quantified through both our stress testing framework and internal capital metrics used to assess the Group's capital requirements. These measures are intended to assess the potential impact from the revaluation of pension assets and liabilities on the Group's capital metrics and income before taxes.

**Governance of pension risk**

The overall pension risk framework and governance structure of our pension plans consists of three components:

■ Trustees have overall responsibility of the pension plan and act on behalf of the beneficiaries of the plan with additional oversight by actuaries and external consultants. Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the pension plan is run properly and the member benefits are secure.

■ Depending on the jurisdiction there is oversight provided by senior management, trustees, actuaries and/or advisors in relation to local funding, investment strategy, plan changes or other actions of the pension fund.

■ Risk monitors and reports various metrics and analytics to senior management and regulators (e.g., economic risk capital, severe flight to quality and loss potential analysis).

Risk portfolio analysis

**Credit risk**

**Credit risk overview**

Transactions that are exposed to potential losses arising 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 are subject to credit risk exposure measurement and management.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for information on credit quality and aging analysis of loans.

For regulatory capital purposes, credit risk comprises several regulatory categories where credit risk measurement and related regulatory capital requirements are subject to different measurement approaches under the Basel framework. Details on regulatory credit risk categories, credit quality indicators and credit risk concentration are available in our disclosures required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework related to risk, which will be available on our website.

> Refer to "credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures" for further information.

**Loans and irrevocable loan commitments**

**Loans held-for-sale and traded loans**

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, loans held-for-sale included CHF 23 million and CHF 29 million, respectively, of seasoned US subprime residential mortgages from consolidated variable interest entities (VIE). Traded loans included US subprime residential mortgages of CHF 381 million and CHF 278 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

**Loans**

The table "Loans" provides an overview of our loans by loan classes, impaired loans, the related allowance for credit losses and selected loan metrics by business division. The carrying values of loans and related allowance for credit losses are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the US and are not comparable with the regulatory credit risk exposures presented in our disclosures required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework.

Compared to December 31, 2021, gross loans decreased CHF 27.5 billion to CHF 265.6 billion as of December 31, 2022, mainly driven by decreases in loans collateralized by securities, commercial and industrial loans, loans to the real estate sector and consumer mortgages. The net decrease of CHF 13.6 billion in loans collateralized by securities mainly reflected a decrease in Wealth Management. The net decrease of CHF 7.1 billion in commercial and industrial loans mainly reflected a decrease in Wealth Management, partially offset by an increase in the Investment Bank. Loans to the real estate sector decreased CHF 3.1 billion, primarily in the Swiss Bank and Wealth Management. Consumer mortgages decreased CHF 3.0 billion, primarily in the Swiss Bank.

On a divisional level, decreases in gross loans of CHF 25.0 billion in Wealth Management and CHF 3.3 billion in the Swiss Bank were partially offset by an increase of CHF 1.1 billion in the Investment Bank.

**Collateralized loans**

The table "Collateralized loans" provides an overview of collateralized loans by division. For consumer loans, the balances reflect the gross carrying value of the loan classes "Mortgages" and "Loans collateralized by securities", of which a significant majority are fully collateralized. Consumer finance loans are not included as the majority of these loans are unsecured. For corporate & institutional loans, the balances reflect the value of mortgages and financial and other collateral related to secured loans, considered up to the amount of the related loans.

Within consumer loans, mortgages primarily include mortgages on residential real estate such as single family homes, apartments and holiday homes as well as building loans. Mortgages may also include certain loans that are secured by a combination of mortgages or other real estate titles and other collateral including, e.g., securities, cash deposits or life insurance policies. Loans collateralized by securities primarily include lombard loans secured by well-diversified portfolios of securities and share-backed loans.

Within corporate & institutional loans, mortgage collateral primarily includes income-producing commercial and residential real estate held by corporate & institutional clients. Financial and other collateral includes various types of eligible collateral, e.g., securities, cash deposits, financial receivables related to factoring, certain real assets such as ownership titles in ship and aircraft, inventories and commodities, as well as certain non-tangible securities such as licensing agreements or guarantees.

Financial collateral is subject to frequent market valuation depending on the asset class. In the Group's private banking, corporate and institutional businesses, all collateral values for loans are regularly reviewed according to the Group's risk management policies and directives, with maximum review periods determined by collateral type, market liquidity and market transparency. For example, traded securities are revalued on a daily basis and property values are appraised over a medium-term horizon generally exceeding one year considering the characteristics of the property, current developments in the relevant real estate market and the current level of credit exposure to the borrower. If the credit exposure to a borrower has changed significantly, in volatile markets or in times of increasing general market risk, collateral values may be appraised more frequently. Management judgment is applied in assessing whether markets are volatile or general market risk has increased to a degree that warrants a more frequent update of collateral values. Movements in monitored risk metrics that are statistically different compared to historical experience are considered in addition to analysis of externally-provided forecasts, scenario techniques and macroeconomic research. For impaired loans, the fair value of collateral is determined within 90 days of the date the impairment was identified and thereafter regularly revalued by Credit Risk within the impairment review process. In the Group's investment banking businesses, collateral-dependent loans are appraised on at least an annual basis, or when a loan-relevant event occurs.

As of December 31, 2022, 98% of the aggregate Swiss residential mortgage loan portfolio of CHF 112.6 billion had a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio equal to or lower than 80%. As of December 31, 2021, 98% of the aggregate Swiss residential mortgage loan portfolio of CHF 113.4 billion had an LTV ratio equal to or lower than 80%. For substantially all Swiss residential mortgage loans originated in 2022 and 2021, the average LTV ratio was equal to or lower than 80% at origination. Our LTV ratios are based on the most recent appraised value of the collateral.

**Impaired loans**

Compared to December 31, 2021, gross impaired loans increased CHF 657 million to CHF 3.4 billion as of December 31, 2022, mainly driven by higher potential problem loans in Wealth Management, the Investment Bank and the Swiss Bank.

In the Investment Bank, gross impaired loans increased CHF 359 million, mainly reflecting impairments in securitizations relating to aircraft companies. In Wealth Management, gross impaired loans increased CHF 279 million, primarily driven by newly impaired Russia-related positions in corporate lending, export finance as well as aviation and yacht finance. These increases were partially offset by the resolution of several positions and exposure reductions primarily in European mortgages and share-backed lending.

In March 2020, US federal banking regulators issued the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" (Interagency Statement). According to the Interagency Statement, short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 crisis to borrowers that were otherwise current prior to the relief being granted would not be considered to be troubled debt restructurings. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, repayment term extensions or payment delays that are insignificant. The Interagency Statement was developed in consultation with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Group applied this guidance until December 31, 2022. The Group had granted short-term modifications to certain borrowers due to the COVID-19 crisis in the form of deferrals of capital and interest payments that were within the scope of this guidance and the loans subject to those deferrals were not reported as troubled debt restructurings in restructured loans.

**Allowance for credit losses on loans**

Compared to December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses increased CHF 66 million to CHF 1.4 billion as of December 31, 2022, primarily reflecting increases in specific provision for expected credit losses, particularly in the Investment Bank.

**Allowance for credit losses on other financial assets**

In 2022, the Investment Bank recorded a release of provision for credit losses of CHF 155 million pertaining to an assessment of the future recoverability of receivables related to Archegos. In 2021, the Investment Bank incurred a provision for credit losses of CHF 4,307 million related to the failure by Archegos to meet its margin commitments. On the Group's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related allowance is included in the allowance for credit losses on brokerage receivables of CHF 4,081 million and CHF 4,186 million, respectively.

> Refer to "Risk factors" in I – Information on the company for information on the Archegos matter.

> Refer to "Note 9 – Provision for credit losses" and "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Derivative instruments**

The Group enters into derivative contracts in the normal course of business for market making, positioning and arbitrage purposes, as well as for our own risk management needs, including mitigation of interest rate, foreign exchange and credit risk.

Derivatives are either privately negotiated OTC contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The most frequently used derivative products include interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps and credit default swaps (CDS), interest rate and foreign exchange options, foreign exchange forward contracts, and foreign exchange and interest rate futures. In addition, the Group enters into total return swaps on specific assets which offer exposure to price performance of securities to clients, offering synthetic financing arrangements as an alternative to on balance sheet financing of physical securities.

The replacement values of derivative instruments correspond to their fair values at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and arise from transactions for the account of individual customers and for our own account. Positive replacement values (PRV) constitute an asset, while negative replacement values (NRV) constitute a liability. Fair value does not indicate future gains or losses, but rather premiums paid or received for a derivative instrument at inception, if applicable, and unrealized gains and losses from marking to market all derivatives at a particular point in time. The fair values of derivatives are determined using various methodologies, primarily observable market prices where available and, in their absence, observable market

parameters for instruments with similar characteristics and maturities, net present value analysis or other pricing models as appropriate.

The following table illustrates how credit risk on derivatives receivables is reduced by the use of legally enforceable netting agreements and collateral agreements. Netting agreements allow us to net balances from derivative assets and liabilities transacted with the same counterparty when the netting agreements are legally enforceable. Replacement values are disclosed net of such agreements in the consolidated balance sheets. Collateral agreements are entered into with certain counterparties based upon the nature of the counterparty and/or the transaction and require the placement of cash or securities with us as collateral for the underlying transaction. The carrying values of derivatives are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the US and are not comparable with the derivatives metrics presented in our disclosures required under Pillar 3 of the Basel framework.

Derivative transactions exposed to credit risk are subject to a credit request and approval process, ongoing credit and counterparty monitoring and a credit quality review process. Counterparty credit risk exposures arising from derivatives are subject to division-specific review and oversight, including the estimation of potential loss and downside risk in stress scenarios. The following table represents the rating split of our credit exposure from derivative instruments.

Derivative instruments are categorized as exposures from trading activities (trading) and those qualifying for hedge accounting (hedging). Trading includes activities relating to market making, positioning and arbitrage. It also includes economic hedges where the Group enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but where the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP. Hedging includes contracts that qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP, such as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and net investment hedges.

> Refer to "Note 28 – Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on offsetting of derivatives.

> Refer to "Note 33 – Derivatives and hedging activities" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on derivatives, including an overview of derivatives by products categorized for trading and hedging purposes.

**Forwards and futures**

The Group enters into forward purchase and sale contracts for mortgage-backed securities, foreign currencies and commitments to buy or sell commercial and residential mortgages. In addition, we enter into futures contracts on equity-based indices and other financial instruments, as well as options on futures contracts. These contracts are typically entered into to meet the needs of customers, for trading and for hedging purposes.

On forward contracts, the Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk. To mitigate this credit risk, we limit transactions by counterparty, regularly review credit limits and adhere to internally established credit extension policies.

For futures contracts and options on futures contracts, the change in the market value is settled with a clearing broker in cash each day. As a result, our credit risk with the clearing broker is limited to the net positive change in the market value for a single day.

**Swaps**

Swap agreements consist primarily of interest rate swaps, CDS, currency and equity swaps. The Group enters into swap agreements for trading and risk management purposes. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements to exchange interest rate payments based on agreed upon notional amounts and maturities. CDS are contractual agreements in which the buyer of the swap pays a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the seller of the swap following a credit event of a reference entity. A credit event is commonly defined as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, material adverse restructuring of debt, or failure to meet payment obligations when due. Currency swaps are contractual agreements to exchange payments in different currencies based on agreed notional amounts and currency pairs. Equity swaps are contractual agreements to receive the appreciation or depreciation in value based on a specific strike price on an equity instrument in exchange for paying another rate, which is usually based on an index or interest rate movements.

**Options**

We write options specifically designed to meet the needs of customers and for trading purposes. These written options do not expose us to the credit risk of the customer because, if exercised, we and not our counterparty are obligated to perform. At the beginning of the contract period, we receive a cash premium. During the contract period, we bear the risk of unfavorable changes in the value of the financial instruments underlying the options. To manage this market risk, we purchase or sell cash or derivative financial instruments. Such purchases and sales may include debt and equity securities, forward and futures contracts, swaps and options.

We also purchase options to meet customer needs, for trading purposes and for hedging purposes. For purchased options, we obtain the right to buy or sell the underlying instrument at a fixed price on or before a specified date. During the contract period, our risk is limited to the premium paid. The underlying instruments for these options typically include fixed income and equity securities, foreign currencies and interest rate instruments or indices. Counterparties to these option contracts are regularly reviewed in order to assess creditworthiness.

**Market risk**

**Traded market risk**

**Development of traded market risks**

The tables entitled "Average one-day, 98% risk management VaR by division" and "One-day, 98% risk management VaR" show our traded market risk exposure, as measured by one-day, 98% risk management VaR in Swiss francs and US dollars. As we measure VaR for internal risk management purposes using the US dollar as the base currency, the VaR figures were translated into Swiss francs using daily foreign exchange translation rates. VaR estimates are computed separately for each risk type and for the whole portfolio. The different risk types are grouped into five categories including interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange, commodity and equity risks.

Risk management VaR measures the Group's traded market risk exposure managed under the market risk framework and generally includes the trading book positions and banking book positions held at fair value.

We regularly review our VaR model to ensure that it remains appropriate given evolving market conditions and the composition of our trading portfolio. In 2022, there were no material changes to our VaR methodology.

We measure VaR in US dollars, as the majority of our trading activities are conducted in US dollars.

Average risk management VaR of USD 49 million in 2022 decreased 18% compared to 2021, primarily reflecting a reduction in securitized products positions in the Investment Bank and COVID-19 pandemic volatility dates moving out of the recent historical data set of the VaR model. The decrease in credit spread risk management VaR was driven by the aforementioned factors. The increase in foreign exchange risk management VaR was driven by positional changes. The increase in interest rate and equity risk management VaR was driven by the inclusion of volatility observed in the second half of 2022 in the data set.

The chart entitled "Daily risk management VaR" shows the aggregated traded market risk on a consolidated basis.

![p20f](x03iii_0020.gif)

The histogram entitled "Actual daily trading revenues" compares the actual daily trading revenues for 2022 with those for 2021. Actual daily trading revenues is an internally used metric, limited to the trading book only, and excludes the cost of carry, credit provisions and internal revenue transfers. The cost of carry is the change in value of the portfolio from one day to the next, assuming all other factors such as market levels and trade population

remain constant, and can be negative or positive. The dispersion of trading revenues indicates the day-to-day volatility in our trading activities. In 2022, we had 40 trading loss days compared to six trading loss days in 2021.

For capital purposes and in line with BIS requirements, FINMA increases the capital multiplier for every regulatory VaR backtesting exception above four in the prior rolling 12-month period, resulting in an incremental market risk capital requirement for the Group. For the rolling 12-month period through the end of 2022, we had one backtesting exception in our regulatory VaR model, and the model remained in the regulatory "green zone".

> Refer to "Risk-weighted assets" in Capital management for further information on the use of our regulatory VaR model in the calculation of trading book market risk capital requirements.

**Credit, debit and funding valuation adjustments**

VaR excludes the impact of changes in both counterparty and our own credit spreads on derivative products. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated sensitivity implies that a one basis point increase in credit spreads, both counterparty and our own, would have resulted in a CHF 0.6 million gain on the overall derivatives position in our trading businesses. In addition, a one basis point increase in our own credit spread on our fair valued structured notes portfolio (including the impact of hedges) would have resulted in a CHF 11.9 million gain as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the estimated FVA sensitivity implies that a one basis point increase in the fair value funding spread would have resulted in a CHF 0.1 million loss on the overall derivatives position in the investment banking businesses.

**Non-traded market risk**

**Development of interest rate risks in the banking book**

Interest rate risk on banking book positions is measured by estimating the impact resulting from a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves on the present value of interest rate-sensitive banking book positions. This is measured on the Group's entire banking book. Interest rate risk sensitivities disclosed below are in line with our internal risk management view.

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for the Group's publication "Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures 4Q22 – Credit Suisse Group AG" which includes additional information on regulatory interest rate risk in the banking book in accordance with FINMA guidance.

As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate sensitivity of a one basis point parallel increase in yield curves was negative CHF 5.0 million, compared to negative CHF 3.6 million as of December 31, 2021. The change was mainly driven by a duration increase in net interest income hedging activities in addition to regular management of banking book activities.

Interest rate risk on banking book positions is also assessed using other measures, including the potential value change resulting from a significant change in yield curves. The interest rate scenarios disclosed below are aligned to the FINMA guidance for Pillar 3 disclosures. The table "Interest rate scenario results – banking book positions" shows the impact of the FINMA-defined interest rate scenarios on the net present value of our banking book positions excluding additional tier 1 capital instruments (as per Pillar 3 requirements) and including additional tier 1 capital instruments.

As of December 31, 2022, the most adverse economic impact from these scenarios (including additional tier 1 capital instruments) was a loss of CHF 955 million, compared to a loss of CHF 555 million as of December 31, 2021. The change was mainly driven by a duration increase in net interest income hedging activities in addition to regular management of banking book activities.

**Illiquid investments**

The Group's illiquid investment positions, which may not be strongly correlated with general equity markets, are measured using internal SFTQ scenario analysis. It is a key scenario that periodically evolves and is used for Group-wide stress testing and risk appetite setting. It is a combination of market shocks and defaults that reflects conditions similar to what followed the 2008/2009 financial crisis. The SFTQ scenario assumes a severe crash across financial markets, along with sharply increasing default rates. The estimated impact of the current scenario would have been a decrease of CHF 184 million in the value of the illiquid investment portfolio as of December 31, 2022, compared to a decrease of CHF 200 million as of December 31, 2021.

Balance sheet and off-balance sheet

As of the end of 2022, total assets of CHF 531.4 billion decreased 30% and total liabilities of CHF 486.0 billion decreased 32% compared to the end of 2021, primarily reflecting lower operating activities.

The majority of our transactions are recorded on our balance sheet. However, we also enter into transactions that give rise to both on and off-balance sheet exposure.

Balance sheet

Total assets were CHF 531.4 billion as of the end of 2022, a decrease of CHF 224.5 billion, or 30%, compared to the end of 2021. Excluding the foreign exchange translation impact, total assets decreased CHF 224.7 billion. Cash and due from banks decreased CHF 96.3 billion, or 58%, mainly driven by lower cash positions at the SNB, Bank of Japan and the ECB. Trading assets decreased CHF 45.7 billion, or 41%, primarily reflecting decreases in equity and debt securities and in derivative instruments. Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions decreased CHF 45.1 billion, or 43%, primarily due to decreases in reverse repurchase transactions from customers and cash collateral. Net loans decreased CHF 27.5 billion, or 9%, mainly driven by decreases in loans collateralized by securities, commercial and industrial loans, loans to the real estate sector and consumer mortgages. Brokerage receivables decreased CHF 2.9 billion, or 17%, mainly reflecting a decrease in margin lending, driven by the impact of resizing the prime services franchise, and lower futures balances, partially offset by an increase in open trades. All other assets decreased CHF 7.0 billion, or 10%, primarily including a decrease of CHF 12.0 billion, or 80%, in securities received as collateral, partially offset by an increase of CHF 5.4 billion, or 13%, in other assets, mainly related to higher loans held-for-sale.

Off-balance sheet

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of business. Off-balance sheet arrangements are transactions or other contractual arrangements with, or for the benefit of, an entity that is not consolidated. These transactions include derivative instruments, guarantees and similar arrangements, retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity in connection with our involvement with special purpose entities (SPEs), and obligations and liabilities (including contingent obligations and liabilities) under variable interests in unconsolidated entities that provide financing, liquidity, credit and other support.

**Derivative instruments**

We enter into derivative contracts in the normal course of business for market making, positioning and arbitrage purposes, as well as for our own risk management needs, including mitigation of interest rate, foreign exchange and credit risk.

> Refer to "Derivative instruments" in Risk management – Risk portfolio analysis – Credit risk and "Note 33 – Derivatives and hedging activities" and "Note 36 – Financial instruments" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Guarantees and similar arrangements**

In the ordinary course of business, guarantees and indemnifications are provided that contingently obligate us to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party based on changes in an asset, liability or equity security of the guaranteed or indemnified party. We may be contingently obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform, or we may have an indirect guarantee of the indebtedness of others. Guarantees provided include, but are not limited to, customary indemnifications to purchasers in connection with the sale of assets or businesses; to investors in private equity funds sponsored by us regarding potential obligations of their employees to return amounts previously paid as carried interest; and to investors in our securities and other arrangements to provide gross-up payments if there is a withholding or deduction because of a tax assessment or other governmental charge.

In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, we sometimes provide the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. They are designed to transfer the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies, such as litigation, tax and intellectual property matters, from the acquirer to the seller. We closely monitor all such contractual agreements in order to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in our consolidated financial statements.

US GAAP requires disclosure of our maximum potential payment obligations under certain guarantees to the extent that it is possible to estimate them and requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of obligations undertaken for guarantees issued or amended after December 31, 2002.

> Refer to "Note 34 – Guarantees and commitments" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for disclosure of our estimated maximum payment obligations under certain guarantees and related information.

**Representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold**

In connection with the Investment Bank division's sale of US residential mortgage loans, we have provided certain representations and warranties relating to the loans sold. We have provided these representations and warranties relating to sales of loans to institutional investors, primarily banks, and non-agency, or private label, securitizations. The loans sold are primarily loans that we have purchased from other parties. The scope of representations and warranties, if any, depends on the transaction, but can include: ownership of the mortgage loans and legal capacity to sell the loans; loan-to-value ratios and other characteristics of the property, the borrower and the loan; validity of the liens securing the loans and absence of delinquent taxes or related liens; conformity to underwriting standards and completeness of documentation; and origination in compliance with law. If it is determined that representations and warranties were breached, we may be required

to repurchase the related loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether we will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent to which claims are made; the validity of such claims made within the statute of limitations (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether we can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to us and made representations and warranties to us; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.

> Refer to "Representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold" in Note 34 –Guarantees and commitments in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Involvement with special purpose entities**

In the normal course of business, we enter into transactions with, and make use of, SPEs. An SPE is an entity in the form of a trust or other legal structure designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it and is generally structured to isolate the SPE's assets from creditors of other entities, including the Group. The principal uses of SPEs are to assist us and our clients in securitizing financial assets and creating investment products. We also use SPEs for other client-driven activity, such as to facilitate financings, and for Group tax or regulatory purposes.

> Refer to "Note 35 –Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

From time to time, we may issue subordinated and senior securities through SPEs that lend the proceeds to Group entities.

Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments

In connection with our operating activities, we enter into certain contractual obligations and commitments to fund certain assets. Our contractual obligations and commitments include short and long-term on-balance sheet obligations as well as future contractual interest payments and off-balance sheet obligations. Total obligations decreased CHF 194.4 billion in 2022 to CHF 451.0 billion, primarily reflecting decreases in customer deposits of CHF 159.6 billion to CHF 233.2 billion, in long-term debt of CHF 9.7 billion to CHF 157.2 billion, in trading liabilities of CHF 9.2 billion to CHF 18.3 billion, in due to banks of CHF 7.1 billion to CHF 11.9 billion, in short-term borrowings of CHF 7.0 billion to CHF 12.4 billion and in brokerage payables of CHF 1.6 billion to CHF 11.4 billion.

Corporate Governance

2022 represented an additional year of significant change for the Group's corporate governance, with the election of a new Chairman, the appointment of a new CEO and the announcement of further organizational changes in line with our new strategy.

Overview

The Group's corporate governance reflects our commitment to safeguard the interests of our stakeholders. Our corporate governance complies with internationally accepted standards, and we recognize the importance of good corporate governance. We know that transparent disclosure of our governance helps stakeholders assess the quality of the Group's corporate governance and assists investors in their investment decisions.

**Corporate Governance developments**

The key corporate governance developments for the Group in 2022 and early 2023 included the following:

**Board of Directors**

■ Axel Lehmann was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors (Chairman) at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 29, 2022. Axel Lehmann was initially appointed as Chairman by the Board of Directors (Board) with effect from January 16, 2022, succeeding António Horta-Osório, who resigned from the Board;

■ Three new Board members, Mirko Bianchi, Keyu Jin and Amanda Norton, were elected at the 2022 AGM, ensuring that the Board continues to have strong expertise in the areas of finance and risk management and with respect to Asian markets, particularly China, which are important growth areas for the Group; Mirko Bianchi was subsequently appointed Chair of the Audit Committee;

■ Long-standing Board members Severin Schwan and Kai Nargolwala did not stand for re-election at the 2022 AGM, nor did Juan Colombas, who had been elected to the Board in October 2021;

■ Several leadership changes within the Board have been implemented, including the appointment of Christian Gellerstad as Vice-Chair and Lead Independent Director (former Vice-Chair and Lead Independent Director: Severin Schwan), and Chair of the Compensation Committee (former Chair: Kai Nargolwala), as well as the appointments of Clare Brady as Chair of the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee (former Chair: Christian Gellerstad), Richard Meddings as Chair of the Risk Committee (former Chair: Axel Lehmann) and a refreshed composition of the Governance and Nominations Committee; and

■ Michael Klein stepped down from the Board and the Compensation Committee on October 27, 2022 in the context of the restructuring of the Group's Investment Bank. It was subsequently announced on February 9, 2023 that, subject to regulatory approval, Michael Klein will join the Executive Board as CEO of Banking, regional CEO of Americas and CEO designate of CS First Boston and that the Group will acquire The Klein Group LLC, a New York-based investment banking boutique and registered broker-dealer, which will be integrated into CS First Boston.

**Executive Board**

■ Ulrich Körner, who was serving as the CEO of the Asset Management division, was appointed Group CEO by the Board, effective August 1, 2022, succeeding Thomas Gottstein;

■ The Board appointed the following new Executive Board members: Francesco De Ferrari as CEO Wealth Management, effective January 1, 2022, and regional CEO of Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA), effective August 21, 2022 (after serving in this role on an ad interim basis since January 2022); Joanne Hannaford as Chief Technology & Operations Officer (CTOO) and David Wildermuth as Chief Risk Officer (CRO), both effective January 1, 2022; Christine Graeff as Global Head of People, effective February 1, 2022; Edwin Low as regional CEO of Asia Pacific (APAC), effective June 1, 2022; Markus Diethelm as General Counsel (GC), effective June 15, 2022; Francesca McDonagh as Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective September 19, 2022; Dixit Joshi as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective October 1, 2022; and Nita Patel as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), effective November 1, 2022;

■ Individuals who stepped down from the Executive Board during 2022 were Antoinette Poschung, former Global Head of Human Resources; Helman Sitohang, former regional CEO of APAC; Romeo Cerutti, former GC; Thomas Gottstein, former CEO; David Mathers, former CFO; Christian Meissner, former CEO Investment Bank and regional CEO of Americas; and Rafael Lopez Lorenzo, former CCO; and

■ The appointment of former Board member Michael Klein to the Executive Board, subject to regulatory approval.

**Organizational structure**

■ Changes to the Group's organizational structure were implemented in 2022 following the review of the Group's strategy by the Board during 2021: effective January 1, 2022, the Group was organized into four divisions – Wealth Management, Investment Bank, the Swiss Bank and Asset Management – and four geographic regions – Switzerland, EMEA, APAC and Americas;

■ A new Strategic Regulatory Remediation program was launched in the second quarter of 2022, which is intended to strengthen our organization and deliver on regulatory programs. The program is overseen by the Strategic Regulatory

Remediation Committee (SRRC) at the Executive Board level, chaired by the CRO;

■ Following the appointment of Ulrich Körner as the new Group CEO announced in July 2022, a new Group COO function was established and Francesca McDonagh was appointed to this role. The COO supports the CEO in the steering and strategic development of the Group and has responsibility for leading operational and cost transformation, as well as enterprise architecture development, including focusing on organizational design and bank-wide efficiencies;

■ Further changes to the Group's organizational structure were announced in October 2022 after the conclusion of a comprehensive strategic review conducted in the second half of 2022 and the resulting decision by the Board to radically restructure the Investment Bank. Key changes included the carve-out of CS First Boston as a capital markets and advisory business, and the creation of a Capital Release Unit (CRU). The CRU comprises the remaining part of the Group's Securitized Products Group (SPG) business and a Non-Core Unit (NCU), which has the purpose of releasing capital through the wind-down of non-strategic, low return and higher-risk businesses. The CRU became effective on January 1, 2023; and

■ A Group-wide review of our organizational set-up was initiated to reduce layers and duplication across divisions and functions, which is currently in progress and, once completed, is expected to support a more effective and less complex organizational design.

**Shareholder meetings**

■ At the AGM on April 29, 2022, shareholders rejected two proposals put forward by shareholders: one for a special audit into the supply chain finance funds (SCFF) and "Suisse Secrets" matters and the other on a change in the Articles of Association (AoA) relating to the Group's climate strategy and disclosures. In connection with the second matter, the Board proposed to submit the Group's climate strategy as outlined in the Strategy chapter of the 2022 Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report, which forms part of the Group's Sustainability Report, for acceptance by shareholders in a consultative vote at the 2023 AGM; and

■ At an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on November 23, 2022, shareholders approved two capital increases with aggregate gross proceeds amounting to CHF 4 billion.

**Regulatory developments**

We regularly monitor developments in corporate governance guidelines, regulations and best practice standards in all jurisdictions relevant to our business operations.

On June 19, 2020, the Swiss Parliament adopted a revision of the Swiss corporate law (Corporate Law Reform), which entered into force on January 1, 2023 (subject to certain transitional provisions). Key changes relate to the improvement of the protection of rights of small shareholders, modernization of the provisions governing shareholders' meetings, for example, by allowing shareholders' meetings to take place in a virtual or hybrid meeting format, increased flexibility regarding changes in share capital through the introduction of a capital range and the strengthening of corporate governance through, for example, embedding the rules formerly covered in the Compensation Ordinance that apply to listed companies into the new Swiss corporate law. As a result of the Corporate Law Reform, Swiss corporations are obliged to amend their articles of association within two years to comply with the revised law. Therefore, the Board of the Group proposes to revise the AoA at the 2023 AGM in line with the revised law and prevailing market standards in Switzerland.

The Corporate Law Reform stipulates "comply or explain" disclosure obligations on gender diversity on the board of directors and executive board of listed companies of at least 30% and 20%, respectively, effective as of January 1, 2021, with ongoing transitional periods before the obligations begin to apply. Credit Suisse already meets the gender requirements for our Board and Executive Board as of December 31, 2022, by having 58% female Board members and 36% female Executive Board members, respectively.

Furthermore, on January 1, 2022, the Swiss Parliament's counterproposal to the rejected Swiss Responsible Business Initiative entered into force by way of an amendment to the Swiss Code of Obligations and the enactment of a corresponding implementing ordinance. It is based on corresponding EU rules and requires companies of public interest to report annually on certain non-financial matters, including the impact the company's activity has on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. The first report on non-financial matters is due for the 2023 financial year; the first shareholder vote on such report is expected to take place at the 2024 AGM.

**Governance of crisis management**

A crisis is an event that requires critical decisions which cannot be resolved with ordinary management techniques and decision-making authority. Credit Suisse has a Crisis Management Framework (CMF) and robust governance processes in place to enable the effective management of crises. The CMF is a bank-wide approach to crisis management addressing global, regional, location and function levels and provides a pre-defined and documented process to enable Credit Suisse to manage situations or events that have the propensity to become a crisis. It includes the definition of the global Crisis Assessment Team, the global Crisis Management Team (CMT), the crisis management process, roles and responsibilities. The Crisis Assessment Team has the responsibility of assessing the damage or impact or potential impact of an incident, crisis or disaster. It is assigned the task of recommending the invocation of the corresponding CMT. The CMT is the group responsible for overall decision making and coordination of Credit Suisse's response to a crisis in a timely manner.

The Crisis Assessment Team assesses the impact of a specific crisis event to the firm on a global level and provides recommendations for final decisions to the CMT, whose members include all members of the Executive Board. In the case of a specific crisis event, firm-wide business continuity management response

measures are triggered where appropriate and overseen by the Executive Board. At the Board level, oversight of business continuity management is within the responsibility of the Risk Committee. In any given crisis event, the Board may delegate certain responsibilities to a sub-committee of its members that is authorized to take actions that exceed the mandate of the Executive Board, when decisions are needed in too short a time frame to convene the full Board. Adequate reporting of a crisis to regulators as necessary is part of the CMT process.

In February 2022, the Crisis Assessment Team was invoked due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Key priorities in this respect included taking measures to protect the safety and security of impacted employees, assessing and implementing different sanctions imposed by various governments, close monitoring of potential business interruptions and increased cyber threats. The Crisis Assessment Team stood down in September 2022 and business as usual procedures were resumed. In addition, an EMEA Russia Taskforce was established in March 2022 to coordinate divisional and functional Bank-wide activities.

During 2022, Credit Suisse convened an Energy Shortages Taskforce to proactively plan for potential energy supply shortages across continental Europe. Heightened preparations focused on ensuring resilience measures were in place to continue delivering critical services. Measures included reducing building energy consumption, securing backup fuel supplies and determining alternative business strategies should local Credit Suisse locations and work-from-home options be unavailable. No disruptions have been experienced to date and the Energy Shortages Taskforce continues to monitor the situation and to prepare for future occurrences.

In early 2022, the Board retired the dedicated tactical crisis committee originally established in 2021 for oversight of the Archegos Capital Management (Archegos) and SCFF matters, which later also served for the oversight of a comprehensive Group-wide risk review initiated by the former Chairman and in line with the expectations of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA). The tactical crisis committee was retired after determining how to implement continued oversight and by handing over the topics and initiatives that required ongoing monitoring to the relevant governance bodies at the Executive Board and/or Board level.

**Corporate Governance Framework**

The Group's Corporate Governance Framework consists of its governing bodies and its corporate governance policies and procedures, which define the competencies of the governing bodies and other corporate governance rules, as well as the practices to be followed throughout the Group, in line with Swiss corporate law and international best practice standards for corporate governance. The governing bodies of the Group are:

■ the General Meeting of Shareholders;

■ the Board of Directors;

■ the Executive Board; and

■ the external auditors.

![p20f](x04iv_0001.gif)

The shareholders elect the members of the Board and the external auditors on an annual basis and approve required resolutions at the AGM, such as the consolidated financial statements, capital increases and Board and Executive Board compensation. The Board is responsible for the overall strategic direction, supervision and control of the Group and appoints the members of the Executive Board. The Executive Board is responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the Group's business and for developing and implementing business plans.

The Group is engaged in the banking business. Effective January 1, 2023, reflecting the strategic announcement on October 27, 2022, the Group is organized into five divisions – Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management, Investment Bank and the new CRU.

The global divisions are complemented by the regions to drive cross-divisional collaboration and strengthen legal entity management oversight and regulatory relationships at a regionally aligned level. The Group's banking business is carried out through its legal entities, which are operational in various jurisdictions and subject to the governance rules and supervision of the regulators in those jurisdictions. The Group has identified certain major subsidiary companies, which, in aggregate, account for a significant proportion of the Group's business operations.

These major subsidiaries, which are all subsidiaries of Credit Suisse AG, are: Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG, Credit Suisse Holdings (USA) Inc. and Credit Suisse International. Corporate governance at these major subsidiaries is closely aligned with the Group's corporate governance, for example, through the appointment of at least one Board member to the boards of each of these major subsidiaries. In accordance with Swiss banking law, the major subsidiaries are subject to consolidated supervision at the level of the Group and the Bank.

The strategy review, announced in October 2022, has resulted in changes to the Investment Bank business, which is conducted out of several subsidiaries, including Credit Suisse Holdings (USA) Inc. and Credit Suisse International. Consistent with our objective to streamline and optimize our legal entity structure in the context of the Group's strategy, Credit Suisse is conducting a review of the legal entity strategy across regions. The legal entity strategy review will assess the impact on existing legal entities across regions to ensure the legal entity footprint will be adjusted to accommodate changes in the size and scope of the investment banking business. Efforts to optimize the legal entity structure across regions, including the closure of redundant entities, will continue to be a priority. The Group anticipates continued simplification of the global legal entity structure, in line with the new business strategy, which is expected to drive financial efficiency for the Group. Additionally, to facilitate the future separation of the businesses transferring to CS First Boston, an assessment of the requirements is underway to set up the optimal legal entity structure (subject to regulatory approval) across key markets. Any changes to the legal entity structure will continue to align to Group standards of governance and comply with local regulatory requirements.

**Purpose and values**

At Credit Suisse, we believe that we have an important role to play in society and in supporting our communities. As a bank, we provide capital, manage and protect wealth, participate in markets and facilitate infrastructure development. This allows us to contribute to sustainable economic growth. Our purpose is at the core of everything we do. It captures for us, for our clients and for other stakeholders "why" Credit Suisse exists as an organization. Our purpose statement is an integral part of the Group's Code of Conduct. The document "The Credit Suisse Code of Conduct: Our Purpose and Values" reflects our purpose statement and emphasizes our six cultural values of inclusion, meritocracy, partnership, accountability, client focus and trust (IMPACT) and the underlying behaviors that we expect all of our employees and members of the Board to observe. In early 2023, the Code of Conduct was reviewed as part of an annual review. The revised Code of Conduct reinforces our commitment to complying with all applicable laws, regulations and policies in order to safeguard our reputation for integrity, fair dealing and measured risk taking and includes clear guidelines for the escalation of concerns by employees, including concerns regarding the CEO, members of the Executive Board and senior financial officers. The purpose and values framework is shown in the illustration below.

**Sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance**

Sustainability is an integral part of our value proposition for our clients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. Credit Suisse regularly engages with these stakeholders, including shareholders, to align our sustainability strategy, short- to mid-term goals and implementation status with stakeholder expectations. We strive to comply with the cultural values set out in our Code of Conduct in every aspect of our work, including in our relationships with diverse stakeholders. We do so based on a broad understanding of our duties as a financial services provider and employer and as an integral part of the economy, society and the environment. As a global financial institution, we can support our clients in encouraging sustainable production and consumption practices, enabling diversity, equity and inclusion, channeling capital flows toward sustainable finance and encouraging the continued shift toward sustainable and impact investment.

The Group's Sustainability Report continues to reflect the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards for sustainability reporting and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards while also providing information on the progress we have made in implementing the Principles for Responsible Banking and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, including the measures we have put in place to contribute to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As in previous years, we plan to submit our Sustainability Report 2022 to the SIX Swiss Exchange in accordance with the opting-in regulation for companies issuing sustainability reports.

Through the use of an external global market intelligence firm, we regularly gather additional information on the composition of our shareholder base, including information on shares that are not registered in our share register. According to this data, our shareholder base as of December 31, 2022 comprised 72% institutional investors, with just over one third of such investors located in North America. The distribution of Group shareholdings by investor type and region is shown as follows:

![p20f](x04iv_0002.gif)

**Shareholder engagement**

The Group engages regularly with its shareholders and proxy advisors. The purpose of such engagements is to understand the perspectives of its shareholders, exchange views about the Group's strategy, financial performance, corporate governance and compensation and other matters of importance to the Group or its shareholders. Shareholder engagement meetings may be attended by the Chairman, the Compensation Committee Chair, the Sustainability Advisory Committee Chair, the CEO, CFO and other members of the Board or senior management. The responsibility for shareholder engagement is overseen by our Investor Relations department. The Group aims to ensure that all shareholders receive the relevant information they need to keep abreast of current Group developments and make informed decisions.

**Information policy**

We are committed to an open and fair information policy with our shareholders and other stakeholders. Our Investor Relations and Corporate Communications departments are responsible for addressing inquiries received. All Group shareholders registered in our share register receive an invitation to our AGM, including instructions on how to receive the annual report and other reports. Each registered shareholder may elect to receive the quarterly reports on our financial performance. All of these reports and other information can be accessed on our website at *credit-suisse.com/investors*.

**Notices required under Swiss law**

Notices to shareholders required under Swiss law are made by publication in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce. The Board may designate further means of communication for publishing notices to shareholders. Notices required under the listing rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange will either be published in two Swiss newspapers in German and French and sent to the SIX Swiss Exchange or otherwise communicated to the SIX Swiss Exchange in accordance with applicable listing rules. The SIX Swiss Exchange may further disseminate the relevant information.

**Significant shareholders**

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructure and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivative Trading (FinFMIA), anyone holding shares in a company listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange is required to notify the company and the SIX Swiss Exchange if their holding reaches, falls below or exceeds the following thresholds: 3%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 33<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>%, 50% or 66<sup>2</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% of the voting rights entered into the commercial register, whether or not the voting rights can be exercised (that is, notifications must also include certain derivative holdings such as options or similar instruments). Following receipt of such notification, the company has an obligation to inform the public. In addition, pursuant to the Swiss Code of Obligations, a company must disclose in the notes to its annual consolidated financial statements the identity of any shareholders who own in excess of 5% of its shares. The following provides an overview of the holdings of our significant shareholders, including any rights to purchase or dispose of shares, based on the most recent disclosure notifications. In line with the FinFMIA requirements, the percentages indicated below were calculated in relation to the share capital reflected in the AoA at the time of the disclosure notification. As shareholders are only required to notify the company and the SIX Swiss Exchange if their holding reaches, falls below or exceeds the thresholds listed above, the percentage holdings of our significant shareholders may vary at any given time compared to the date of submission of the most recent notification for these respective shareholders. The full text of all notifications can be found on our website at *credit-suisse.com/shareholders*. Each share entitles the holder to one vote, except as described below.

> Refer to "Note 3 – Business developments, significant shareholders and subsequent events" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on significant shareholders.

The Group also holds positions in its own shares, including shares acquired through the Share Repurchase Program described above, which are subject to the same disclosure requirements as significant external shareholders. These positions fluctuate and, in addition to the activities from the Share Repurchase Program, primarily reflect activities related to market making, facilitating client orders and satisfying the obligations under our employee compensation plans. Shares held by the Group have no voting rights. As of December 31, 2022, our holdings amounted to 1.96% purchase positions (1.50% registered shares and 0.46% share acquisition rights) and 0.63% sales positions (disposal rights).

> Refer to "Share purchases" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management for further information.

**Cross shareholdings**

The Group has no cross shareholdings in excess of 5% of capital or voting rights with any other company.

**Shareholder rights**

We are fully committed to the principle of equal treatment of all shareholders. The following information summarizes certain shareholder rights at the Group.

**Voting rights and transfer of shares**

There is no limitation under Swiss law or the AoA on the right to own Group shares.

In principle, each share represents one vote at the AGM. Shares held by the Group have no voting rights. Shares for which a single shareholder or shareholder group can exercise voting rights may not exceed 2% of the total outstanding share capital, unless one of the exemptions discussed below applies. The restrictions on voting rights do not apply to:

■ the exercise of voting rights by the independent proxy as elected by the AGM;

■ shares in respect of which the shareholder confirms to us that the shareholder has acquired the shares in the shareholder's name for the shareholder's own account and in respect of which the disclosure requirements in accordance with the FinFMIA and the relevant ordinances and regulations have been fulfilled; or

■ shares that are registered in the name of a nominee, provided that this nominee is willing to furnish us, on request, the name, address and shareholdings of any beneficial owner or group of related beneficial owners on behalf of whom the nominee holds 0.5% or more of the total outstanding share capital of the Group.

To execute voting rights, shares need to be registered in the share register directly or in the name of a nominee. In order to be registered in the share register, the purchaser must file a share registration form with the depository bank. The registration of shares in the share register may be requested at any time. Failing such registration, the purchaser may not vote or participate in shareholders' meetings. However, each shareholder, whether registered in the share register or not, is entitled to receive dividends or other distributions approved at the AGM. Transfer restrictions apply regardless of the way and the form in which the registered shares are kept in the accounts and regardless of the provisions applicable to transfers. The transfer of intermediated securities based on Group shares, and the pledging of these intermediated securities as collateral, is based on the provisions of the Swiss Federal Intermediated Securities Act. The transfer or pledging of shares as collateral by means of written assignment is not permitted.

> Refer to *credit-suisse.com/articles* for information in our AoA (Art. 10 and 14a) on share register and transfer of shares, voting rights and the independent proxy.

**Annual General Meeting**

Under Swiss law, the AGM must be held within six months of the end of the fiscal year. Notice of an AGM, including agenda items and proposals submitted by the Board and by shareholders, must be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce at least 20 days prior to the AGM.

Shares only qualify for voting at an AGM if they are registered in the share register with voting rights in accordance with the registration deadline as set out in the invitation to the AGM.

Pursuant to the articles of association the Board of Directors will specify the applicable regulations for the provision of power of attorney and instructions to the independent proxy (i.e., as part of the invitation to the general meeting).

**Convocation of shareholder meetings**

The AGM is convened by the Board or, if necessary, by the statutory auditors, with 20 days' prior notice. The Board is further required to convene an EGM if so resolved at a shareholders' meeting or if so requested by shareholders holding in aggregate at least 10% of the nominal share capital. The request to call an EGM must be submitted in writing to the Board, and, at the same time, Group shares representing at least 10% of the nominal share capital must be deposited for safekeeping. The shares remain in safekeeping until the day after the EGM.

**Request to place an item on the agenda**

Shareholders holding shares with an aggregate nominal value of at least CHF 40,000 have the right to request that a specific item be placed on the agenda and voted upon at the AGM. The request to include a particular item on the agenda, together with a relevant proposal, must be submitted in writing to the Board no later than 45 days before the meeting and, at the same time, Group shares with an aggregate nominal value of at least CHF 40,000 must be deposited for safekeeping. The shares remain in safekeeping until the day after the AGM.

In the context of the Corporate Law Reform upon shareholder approval of and the proposed changes to our AoA, the related AGM authorities will change so that one or more shareholders whose combined holdings represent at least 5% of the share capital or votes can request that a shareholders' meeting be called. The request to include a particular item on the agenda of the shareholders' meeting, or the request to include a proposal relating to an agenda item must be submitted in writing together with the relevant proposals. At the same time, shares of the Group representing at least 0.025% of the share capital or votes (which corresponds to a nominal value of approximately CHF 40,000) are to be deposited for safekeeping.

**Virtual meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic** 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and pursuant to the Swiss Federal Council's related COVID-19 ordinance, the 2022 AGM and EGM were held without the personal attendance of shareholders. Shareholders were represented at the 2022 AGM and EGM exclusively by the independent proxy. Since the COVID-19 ordinance is no longer applicable and the Corporate Law Reform provides for more flexibility in connection with shareholders' meetings, the Board proposes changes to our AoA, which would allow the possibility to hold hybrid and virtual meetings in the event of exceptional circumstances, in addition to physical meetings.

**Shareholders' resolutions that require a vote**

 **A majority of the votes represented**

■ amendments to the AoA, unless a supermajority is required;

■ election of members of the Board, the Chairman, the members of the Compensation Committee, the independent proxy and statutory auditors;

■ approval of the compensation of the members of the Board and the Executive Board;

■ approval of the annual report and the statutory and consolidated accounts;

■ discharge of the acts of the members of the Board and Executive Board; and

■ determination of the appropriation of retained earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**At least two-thirds of the votes represented**

■ change of the purpose of the company;

■ creation of shares with increased voting powers;

■ implementation of transfer restrictions on shares;

■ increase in conditional and authorized capital;

■ increase in capital by way of conversion of capital surplus or by contribution in kind;

■ restriction or suspension of pre-emptive subscription rights;

■ change of location of the principal office; and

■ dissolution of the company without liquidation.

**At least half of the total share capital and approval by a least three-quarters of the votes represented**

■ conversion of registered shares into bearer shares;

■ amendments to the AoA relating to registration and voting rights of nominee holders; and

■ dissolution of the company.

**Quorum requirements**

The AGM may, in principle, pass resolutions without regard to the number of shareholders present at the meeting or represented by proxy, except as discussed below. Resolutions and elections generally require the approval of a majority of the votes represented at the meeting, except as otherwise provided by mandatory provisions of law or by the AoA.

A quorum of at least half of the total share capital and the approval of at least seven-eighths of the votes cast is required for amendments to provisions of the AoA relating to voting rights.

**Say-on-Pay**

In accordance with the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance, the Group will submit the compensation report (contained in the Compensation section of the 2022 Annual Report) for a consultative, non-binding vote by shareholders at the 2023 AGM. In accordance with Swiss law, the Group will submit the following Board and Executive Board compensation recommendations for binding votes by shareholders at the 2023 AGM:

■ For the Board: a maximum amount of compensation for the Board for the period from the 2023 AGM to the 2024 AGM;

■ For the Executive Board: a maximum amount of fixed compensation for the Executive Board for the period from the 2023 AGM to the 2024 AGM; and

■ For the Executive Board: an aggregate amount of compensation comprising the Transformation Award to be granted in 2023, subject to performance conditions over the three-year period from the beginning of 2023 to the end of 2025.

> Refer to "Say-on-pay vote" in V – Compensation – Compensation framework, policy, and governance for further information on the say-on-pay vote.

**Discharge of the acts of the Board and the Executive Board**

According to Swiss law, the AGM has the power to discharge the actions of the members of the Board and the Executive Board. The 2022 AGM granted discharge to the Board and Executive Board for the 2021 financial year, excluding discharge in relation to the SCFF matter. The Board had also proposed to the 2022 AGM to grant discharge for the 2020 financial year, excluding discharge in relation to the SCFF matter, as the discharge proposal was withdrawn from the 2021 AGM agenda. Shareholders did not support the Board's proposal in this case, however, and voted against the granting of discharge to the members of the Board and the Executive Board for the 2020 financial year.

**Pre-emptive subscription rights and preferential subscription rights**

Under Swiss law, any share issue, whether for cash or non-cash consideration or no consideration, is subject to the prior approval of the shareholders. Shareholders of a Swiss corporation have certain pre-emptive subscription rights to subscribe for new issues of shares and certain preferential rights to subscribe for option bonds, convertible bonds or similar debt instruments with option or convertible rights in proportion to the nominal amount of shares held. A resolution adopted at a shareholders' meeting with a supermajority may, however, limit or suspend pre-emptive subscription rights in certain limited circumstances.

**Duty to make an offer**

Swiss law provides that anyone who, directly or indirectly or acting in concert with third parties, acquires 33<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% or more of the voting rights of a listed Swiss company, whether or not such rights are exercisable, must make an offer to acquire all of the listed equity securities of such company, unless the AoA of the company provides otherwise. Our AoA does not include a contrary provision. This mandatory offer obligation may be waived under certain circumstances by the Swiss Takeover Board or FINMA. If no waiver is granted, the mandatory offer must be made pursuant to procedural rules set forth in the FinFMIA and implementing ordinances.

**Clauses on changes in control**

To the best of our knowledge, there are no agreements in place that could lead to a change in control of the Group. Subject to certain provisions in the Group's employee compensation plans, which allow for the Compensation Committee or Board to determine the treatment of outstanding awards for all employees, including the Executive Board members, in the case of a change in control, there are no provisions that require the payment of extraordinary benefits in the agreements and plans benefiting members of the Board and the Executive Board or any other members of senior management. Specifically, there are no contractually agreed severance payments in the case of a change in control of the Group.

> Refer to "Contract lengths, termination and change in control provisions" in V – Compensation – Supplementary information for further information on the clauses on changes in control.

**Trading restrictions and blackout periods**

Group employees with access to material, non-public information relating to the Group and its businesses, such as members of the Executive Board, are subject to a number of trading restrictions, including, but not limited to, pre-clearance requirements and regular blackout periods and permitted trading windows. These trading restrictions are also applicable to members of the Board. Group employees that, by nature of their activities, have potentially greater and regular access to material, non-public information relating to the Group (Access Persons), such as members of the Executive Board, are generally prohibited from trading in Group securities for fourteen full calendar days prior to the end of each quarter. Other Group employees are generally prohibited from trading in Group securities for five full business days prior to public announcement of the earnings for the preceding quarter. The permitted trading window reopens one day after the public announcement of the Group's earnings for the preceding quarter. Even during permitted trading windows, Group employees who are in possession of material, non-public information relating to the Group are prohibited from trading in (or suggesting to others that they trade in) any Group securities.

**Borrowing and raising funds**

Neither Swiss law nor our AoA restrict our power to borrow and raise funds in any way. The decision to borrow funds is passed by or under the direction of our Board, with no shareholders' resolution required.

**Liquidation**

Under Swiss law and our AoA, the Group may be dissolved at any time by a shareholders' resolution, which must be passed by:

■ a supermajority of at least three-quarters of the votes cast at the meeting in the event the Group were to be dissolved by way of liquidation; and

■ a supermajority of at least two-thirds of the votes represented and an absolute majority of the par value of the shares represented at the meeting in other cases.

Dissolution by order of FINMA is possible if we become bankrupt. Under Swiss law, any surplus arising out of liquidation (after the settlement of all claims of all creditors) is distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up par value of shares held.

Board of Directors

**General information**

**Membership and qualifications** 

The AoA (Chapter IV, Section 2, The Board of Directors, Art. 15.1 of the Group's AoA and Chapter III, Section 6. Board of Directors, Art. 6.1 of the Bank's AoA) provide that the Board shall consist of a minimum of seven members. The Board currently consists of 12 members. We believe that the size of the Board must be such that the committees can be staffed with qualified members. At the same time, the Board must be small enough to ensure an effective and rapid decision-making process. Board members are elected at the AGM by our shareholders individually for a period of one year and are eligible for re-election. In exceptional cases, Board members are elected at an EGM for a period from their election until the next AGM. Shareholders will also elect a member of the Board as the Chairman and each of the members of the Compensation Committee for a period of one year. One year of office is understood to be the period of time from one AGM to the close of the next AGM. Members of the Board shall generally retire after having served on the Board for 12 years. Under certain circumstances, the Board may extend the limit of terms of office for a particular Board member for a maximum of three additional years.

An overview of the Board and the committee membership is shown in the following table. The composition of the Boards of the Group and the Bank is identical.

**Board composition and succession planning**

The Governance and Nominations Committee regularly considers the composition of the Board as a whole and in light of staffing requirements for the committees. The Governance and Nominations Committee recruits and evaluates candidates for Board membership based on criteria as set forth by the OGR (Chapter II Board of Directors, Item 8.2.3). The Governance and Nominations Committee may also retain outside consultants with respect to the identification and recruitment of potential new Board members. In assessing candidates, the Governance and Nominations Committee considers the requisite skills and characteristics of potential Board members as well as the composition of the Board as a whole. Among other considerations, the Governance and Nominations Committee takes into account areas of expertise, management experience, independence and diversity in the context of the needs of the Board to fulfill its responsibilities. The Governance and Nominations Committee also considers other activities and commitments of an individual in order to be satisfied that a proposed member of the Board can devote enough time to a Board position at the Group.

The background, skills and experience of our Board members are diverse and broad and include holding or having held top management positions at financial services and other companies in Switzerland and abroad, as well as leading positions in government, academia and international organizations. The Board is composed of individuals with wide-ranging professional expertise in key areas including the management of client-facing businesses; investment management; finance and/or audit; risk, legal and/or compliance; people, culture and/or compensation; digitalization and/or technology; ESG; and governance, regulatory and/or academia. Diversity of culture, experience and opinion are important aspects of Board composition, as well as gender diversity. While the ratio of female-to-male Board members may vary in any given year, the Board is committed to complying with the gender diversity guidelines as stipulated in the new Swiss corporate law. As shown in the chart above, the Board currently consists of seven female and five male directors. The collective experience and expertise of our Board members as of the end of 2022 across those key areas considered particularly relevant for the Group is illustrated in the following chart.

In areas where the Board's collective experience and expertise may require strengthening, the Board may decide to nominate a new Board member candidate with specialist expertise, engage outside experts or take other measures.

![p20f](x04iv_0045.jpg)

To maintain a high degree of expertise, diversity and independence in the future, the Board has a succession planning process in place to identify potential candidates for the Board at an early stage. With this process, we are well prepared when Board members rotate off the Board. The objectives of the succession planning process are to ensure adequate representation of key Board competencies and a Board composition that is well suited to address future challenges, while maintaining the stability and professionalism of the Board. Potential candidates are evaluated according to criteria defined to assess the candidates' expertise and experience, which include the following:

■ proven track record as an executive with relevant leadership credentials gained in an international business environment in financial services or another industry;

■ relevant functional skills and credentials in the key areas listed above;

■ understanding of global banking, financial markets and financial regulation;

■ broad international experience and global business perspective, with a track record of having operated in multiple geographies;

■ ability to bring insight and clarity to complex situations and to both challenge and constructively support management;

■ high level of integrity and affinity with the Group's values and corporate culture; and

■ willingness to commit sufficient time to prepare for and attend Board and committee meetings.

The evaluation of candidates also considers formal independence and other criteria for Board membership, consistent with legal and regulatory requirements and the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance. Furthermore, we believe that other aspects, including team dynamics and personal reputation of Board members, play a critical role in ensuring the effective functioning of the Board. This is why the Group places the utmost importance on the right mix of personalities who are also fully committed to making their blend of specific skills and experience available to the Board.

**Chairman succession**

Axel Lehmann was elected as a member of the Board by the EGM of October 1, 2021. Effective January 16, 2022, the Board appointed Mr. Lehmann as Chairman and successor to Antonio Horta-Osorio, who resigned as Chairman in January 2022. At the 2022 AGM, Mr. Lehmann was subsequently elected as Chairman.

**New members and continuing training**

Any newly appointed member is required to participate in an orientation program to become familiar with our legal and organizational structure, strategic plans, business operations and significant financial, risk, compliance and regulatory issues and other important matters relating to the governance of the Group. The orientation program is designed to take into account the new Board member's individual background and level of experience in each specific area. Moreover, the program's focus is aligned with any committee memberships of the person concerned. In addition to the comprehensive orientation program for new Board members, continuous training forms part of the Board and Board committee agendas through topical deep dives, as well as training on specific bank compliance topics relevant to the Board, such as electronic communication, cybersecurity, data protection and personal account trading. The Board and the committees of the Board regularly ask specialists within the Group to speak about specific topics in order to enhance the Board members' understanding of issues that already are, or may become, of particular importance to our business.

**Meetings**

In 2022, the Board held 28 meetings, including an annual two-day strategy session, the majority of which were held as video or telephone conferences in part due to COVID-19-related travel and other restrictions on holding in-person meetings that remained in place in various jurisdictions in 2022. The members of the Board are encouraged to attend all meetings of the Board and the committees on which they serve. Similar to 2021, there were a relatively high number of Board meetings held during 2022 compared to earlier years, due to the need to call frequent extraordinary meetings in connection with the strategy update and overall challenging situation of the firm, as well as various key leadership changes.

All members of the Board are expected to spend the necessary time needed outside of these meetings to discharge their responsibilities appropriately. The Chairman calls the meeting with sufficient notice and prepares an agenda for each meeting. The Chairman may also call extraordinary meetings on short notice, should circumstances require. Any other Board member also has the right to call an extraordinary meeting, if deemed necessary. The Chairman has the discretion to invite members of management or others to attend the meetings. Generally, the members of the Executive Board attend part of the Board meetings to ensure effective interaction with the Board. The Board also holds separate private sessions without management present. Minutes are kept of the proceedings and resolutions of the Board.

From time to time, the Board may make certain decisions via circular resolution, unless a member asks that the matter be discussed in a meeting and not be decided upon by way of written consent. During 2022, the Board resolved five matters via circular resolution. As of the date of the publication of this report, in 2023, the Board has held three meetings, two of which were via video or telephone conference. So far in 2023, there have been no matters resolved via circular resolution.

**Mandates**

Our Board members may assume board or executive level or other roles in companies and organizations outside of the Group, which are collectively referred to as mandates. The Swiss Code of Obligations sets out that companies must include provisions in their AoA to set limits on the number of mandates that board members and executive management may hold. According to the Group's AoA (Chapter IV, Section 2, The Board of Directors, Art. 20b), mandates include activities in the most senior executive and management bodies of listed companies and all other legal entities that are obliged to obtain an entry in the Swiss commercial register or a corresponding foreign register. Subject to approval by the AGM, the Group's AoA will be revised such that mandates in the sense of Art. 20b will be deemed to comprise mandates in comparable functions at other enterprises with an economic purpose. Board members are obligated to disclose all mandates to the Group and changes thereto, which occur during their board tenure. Board members wishing to assume a new mandate with a company or organization must first consult with the Chairman before accepting such mandate, in order to ensure there are no conflicts of interest or other issues.

The limitations on mandates assumed by Board members outside of the Group are summarized in the table below.

**Type of mandate and limitation – Board**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Type of mandate** | **Limitation** |
| Listed companies | No more than four other mandates |
| Other legal entities <sup>1</sup> | No more than five mandates |
| Legal entities on behalf of the Group <sup>2</sup> | No more than ten mandates |
| Charitable legal entities <sup>3</sup> | No more than ten mandates |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>Includes private non-listed companies. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>Includes private non-listed companies. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2**<br>Includes memberships in business and industry associations. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2**<br>Includes memberships in business and industry associations. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3**<br>Also includes honorary mandates in cultural or educational organizations. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3**<br>Also includes honorary mandates in cultural or educational organizations. |

---

No Board member holds mandates in excess of these restrictions. The assumption of up to five mandates in different legal entities under common control is deemed to constitute one mandate. The restrictions shown above do not apply to mandates of Board members in legal entities controlled by the Group such as subsidiary boards.

**Overboarding**

In addition to reviewing the number of mandates that a Board member concurrently holds with respect to the limitations described above, the Governance and Nominations Committee also considers the specific roles that Board members perform in other companies in order to identify cases of potential overboarding and to ensure that Board members have sufficient time to dedicate to their Credit Suisse Board mandate. Board members are required to disclose any changes in their mandates or changes to their roles within existing mandates as they occur to ensure that such changes would not lead to an overboarding situation. At the 2022 AGM, certain shareholders were critical of the proposed re-election of Ana Paula Pessoa due to concerns about overboarding in consideration of her concurrent mandates on five listed company boards, including Credit Suisse. Ms. Pessoa informed the Group of her intention to step down from the board of the Vinci Group (listed company) effective April 2023, thereby reducing the number of her listed company mandates to four. She will also step down from the board of Kunumi AI (private company) in April 2023.

**Independence**

The Board consists solely of non-executive directors within the Group, of which at least the majority must be determined to be independent. In its independence determination, the Board takes into account the factors set forth in the OGR (Chapter II Board of Directors, Item 3.2), the committee charters and applicable laws, regulations and listing standards. Our independence standards are also periodically measured against other emerging best practice standards.

The Governance and Nominations Committee performs an annual assessment of the independence of each Board member and reports its findings to the Board for the final determination of independence of each individual member. The Board has applied the independence criteria of the SIX Swiss Exchange Directive on Information relating to Corporate Governance, FINMA, the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance and the rules of the NYSE and the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) in determining the definition of independence.

Moreover, Board members with immediate family members who would not qualify as independent according to the above listed criteria shall be subject to a three-year cooling-off period for purposes of determining their independence after fulfilment of the independence criteria by the immediate family member. In addition, Board members are not deemed to be independent if they are qualified shareholders of the Group or represent such qualified shareholder. A qualified shareholder holds in excess of 10% of the Group's share capital or may otherwise influence the Group in a significant manner.

**Independence criteria applicable to all Board members**

**Independence**

**Criteria**

**In general, a director is considered independent if the director:**

■ is not, and has not been for the past three years, employed as an Executive Board member at the Group or any of its subsidiaries or in another significant function at the Group;

■ is not, and has not been for the past three years, an employee or affiliate of the Group's external auditor;

■ does not, according to the Board's assessment, maintain a material direct or indirect business relationship with the Group or any of its subsidiaries, which causes a conflict of interest due to its nature or extent; and

■ is not, or has not been for the past three years, part of an interlocking directorate in which an Executive Board member serves on the compensation committee of another company that employs the Board member.

**Whether or not a relationship between the Group or any of its subsidiaries and a member of the Board is considered material depends in particular on the following factors:**

■ the volume and size of any transactions concluded in relation to the financial status and credit standing of the Board member concerned or the organization in which he or she is a partner, significant shareholder or executive officer;

■ the terms and conditions applied to such transactions in comparison to those applied to transactions with counterparties of a similar credit standing;

■ whether the transactions are subject to the same internal approval processes and procedures as transactions that are concluded with other counterparties;

■ whether the transactions are performed in the ordinary course of business; and

■ whether the transactions are structured in such a way and on such terms and conditions that the transaction could be concluded with a third party on comparable terms and conditions.

**Specific independence considerations** 

Board members serving on the Audit Committee are subject to independence requirements in addition to those required of other Board members. None of the Audit Committee members may be an affiliated person of the Group or may, directly or indirectly, accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from us other than their regular compensation as members of the Board and its committees.

For Board members serving on the Compensation Committee, the independence determination considers all factors relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship with the Group that is material to that director's ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including, but not limited to:

■ the source of any compensation of the Compensation Committee member, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees paid by the Group to such director; and

■ whether the Compensation Committee member is affiliated with the Group, any of its subsidiaries or any affiliates of any of its subsidiaries.

**Other independence standards**

While the Group is not subject to such standards, the Board acknowledges that some proxy advisors apply different standards for assessing the independence of our Board members, including the length of tenure a Board member has served, the full-time status of a Board Member, annual compensation levels of Board members within a comparable range to executive pay or a Board member's former executive status for periods further back than the preceding three years.

**Independence determination**

As of December 31, 2022, all members of the Board were determined by the Board to be independent.

**Conflicts of interest**

According to our OGR (Chapter IX Special provisions, Items 44.1, 44.2), the members of the Board, the Executive Board and the management committees of the divisions, regions and corporate functions are obliged to preserve the interests of the Group. Conflicts of interest of a personal nature, private or professional, potential conflicts of interest and even the appearance of conflicts of interest should be avoided. Any conflicts of interest with respect to a particular transaction, including conflicts of interest of persons or companies with whom the member has close personal relations, should be disclosed to the chair of the relevant governance body prior to the resolution process for such transaction. The affected member shall not become involved in the resolution process for such transaction.

In connection with the definition and ongoing implementation of the recently announced strategic initiatives, the Board has considered a number of potential conflicts of interest involving existing or former Board members in relation to certain projects being executed as part of those initiatives. The Board considered the aforementioned principles in pursuing those projects, supported by independent external advisers, and took measures to address any potential conflicts of interest in accordance with those principles, including through recusals of interested parties in the decision-making process. The Board will continue to monitor for and take any necessary measures to address any potential conflicts of interest as this implementation progresses.

**Board leadership**

**Chairman of the Board**

The Chairman is a non-executive member of the Board, in accordance with Swiss banking law, and performs his role on a full-time basis, in line with the practice expected by FINMA, our main regulator. The Chairman:

■ coordinates the work within the Board;

■ works with the committee chairs to coordinate the tasks of the committees;

■ ensures that the Board members are provided with the information relevant for performing their duties;

■ drives the Board agenda;

■ drives key Board topics, especially regarding the strategic development of the Group, succession planning, the structure and organization of the Group, corporate governance, as well as compensation and compensation structure, including the performance evaluation and compensation of the CEO and the Executive Board;

■ chairs the Board, the Governance and Nominations Committee and the Shareholder Meetings;

■ takes an active role in representing the Group to key shareholders, investors, regulators and supervisors, industry associations and other external stakeholders;

■ has no executive function within the Group;

■ with the exception of the Governance and Nominations Committee, is not a member of any of the other Board standing committees; and

■ may attend all or parts of selected committee meetings as a guest without voting power.

**Vice-Chair and Lead Independent Director**

There may be one or more Vice-Chairs. The Vice-Chair:

■ is a member of the Board;

■ is a designated deputy to the Chairman; and

■ assists the Chairman by providing support and advice to the Chairman, assuming the Chairman's role in the event of the Chairman's absence or indisposition and leading the Board accordingly.

According to the Group's OGR (Chapter II Board of Directors, Item 3.4), the Board may appoint a Lead Independent Director. If the Chairman is determined not to be independent by the Board, the Board must appoint a Lead Independent Director. The Lead Independent Director:

■ may convene meetings without the Chairman being present;

■ takes a leading role among the Board members, particularly when issues between the Chairman and Board members arise (for example, when the Chairman has a conflict of interest);

■ leads the Board's annual assessment of the Chairman; and

■ ensures that the work of the Board and Board-related processes continue to run smoothly.

Christian Gellerstad currently serves as the Vice-Chair and the Lead Independent Director.

**Segregation of duties**

In accordance with Swiss banking law, the Group operates under a dual board structure, which strictly segregates the duties of supervision, which are the responsibility of the Board, from the duties of management, which are the responsibility of the Executive Board. The roles of the Chairman (non-executive) and the CEO (executive) are separate and carried out by two different people.

**Board responsibilities**

In accordance with the OGR (Chapter II Board of Directors, Item 5.1), the Board delegates certain tasks to Board committees and delegates the management of the company and the preparation and implementation of Board resolutions to certain management bodies or executive officers to the extent permitted by law, in particular Article 716a and 716b of the Swiss Code of Obligations, and the AoA (Chapter IV, Section 2, The Board of Directors, Art. 17 of the Group's AoA and Chapter III, Section 6, Board of Directors, Art. 6.3 of the Bank's AoA).

With responsibility for the overall direction, supervision and control of the company, the Board:

■ regularly assesses our competitive position and approves our strategic and financial plans and risk appetite statement and overall risk limits;

■ appoints or dismisses the CEO and the members of the Executive Board and appoints or dismisses the head of Internal Audit as well as the regulatory auditor;

■ receives a status report at each ordinary meeting on our financial results, capital, funding and liquidity situation;

■ receives, on a monthly basis, management information packages, which provide detailed information on our performance and financial status, as well as quarterly risk reports outlining recent developments and outlook scenarios;

■ is provided by management with regular updates on key issues and significant events, as deemed appropriate or requested;

■ has access to all information concerning the Group in order to appropriately discharge its responsibilities;

■ reviews and approves significant changes to our structure and organization;

■ approves the annual variable compensation for the Group and the divisions and recommends compensation of the Board and Executive Board for shareholder approval at the AGM;

■ provides oversight on significant projects including acquisitions, divestitures, investments and other major projects;

■ approves the recovery and resolution plans of the Group and its major subsidiaries; and

■ along with its committees, is entitled, without consulting with management and at the Group's expense, to engage external legal, financial or other advisors, as it deems appropriate, with respect to any matters within its authority.

**Management information system**

The Group has a comprehensive management information system in place as part of our efforts to ensure the Board and senior management are provided with the necessary information and reports to carry out their respective oversight and management responsibilities. The Chairman may request additional reports as deemed appropriate.

**Governance of Group subsidiaries**

The Board assumes oversight responsibility for establishing appropriate governance for Group subsidiaries. The governance of the Group is based on the principles of an integrated oversight and management structure with global scope, which enables management of the Group as one economic unit. The Group sets corporate governance standards to ensure the efficient and harmonized steering of the Group. In accordance with the OGR (Chapter II, Board of Directors, Item 5.1.16), the Board appoints or dismisses the chairperson and the members of the board of directors of the major subsidiaries of the Group and approves their compensation. A policy naming the subsidiaries in scope and providing guidelines for the nomination and compensation process is periodically reviewed by the Board. The governance of the major subsidiaries, subject to compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations, should be consistent with the corporate governance principles of the Group, as reflected in the OGR and other corporate governance documents. In order to facilitate consistency and alignment of Group and subsidiary governance, it is the Group's policy for the Board to appoint at least one Group director to each of the boards of its major subsidiaries. Directors and officers of the Group and its major subsidiaries are committed to ensuring transparency and collaboration throughout the Group.

**Board evaluation**

The Board conducts a self-assessment once a year, where it reviews its own performance against the responsibilities listed in its charter and the Board's objectives and determines future objectives, including any special focus objectives for the coming year. The performance assessment of the Chairman is led by the Vice-Chair; the Chairman does not participate in the discussion of his own performance. As part of the self-assessment, the Board evaluates its effectiveness with respect to a number of different aspects, including board structure and composition, communication and reporting, agenda setting and continuous improvement. From time to time, the Board may also mandate an external consultant to conduct an external Board effectiveness review rather than performing the annual review as a self-assessment only, in order to get an outside-in view of the Board's effectiveness and benchmark against best practices. On the proposal of the Chairman, the Board mandated an external consultant to perform a Board effectiveness review in 2022. This assessment was conducted in the fourth quarter of 2022 and included an in depth questionnaire completed by all Board members, interviews conducted with the Chairman, the individual Board members, the CEO and certain other Executive Board members and other internal experts, and the participation of the external consultants as observers in Board and Board committee meetings. The findings and recommendations from the external Board effectiveness review were presented and discussed at a Board meeting in December 2022 and addressed, among other topics, the Board's future roadmap and priorities, including focus areas for 2023, with respect to strategy, the Group's operating model, culture, people development and succession planning and Board composition and committee structure. External Board effectiveness reviews took place in 2017 and 2020, in line with the Board's intention to perform an external Board effectiveness review at least every three years.

**Board changes**

In addition to Axel Lehmann assuming the role of Chairman as previously mentioned, Mirko Bianchi, Keyu Jin and Amanda Norton were elected as new non-executive Board members at the 2022 AGM and Amanda Norton was also elected as a new Compensation Committee member. Given his extensive finance experience at European financial institutions and former CFO roles, the Board appointed Mirko Bianchi as Chair of the Audit Committee. Richard Meddings, who previously served as Chair of the Audit Committee, was appointed by the Board as Chair of the Risk Committee. Other committee chair changes include the appointment of Clare Brady as Chair of the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee and Christian Gellerstad as Chair of the Compensation Committee. Christian Gellerstad was furthermore appointed as Vice-Chair and Lead Independent Director, succeeding Severin Schwan, who did not stand for re-election at the 2022 AGM. At the 2023 AGM, all current Board members are standing for reelection, and there are no new Board candidates proposed for election.

The Board has six standing committees: the Governance and Nominations Committee, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee, the Risk Committee and the Digital Transformation and Technology Committee.

Except for the Compensation Committee members, who are elected by the shareholders on an annual basis, the committee members are appointed by the Board for a term of one year.

At each Board meeting, the Chairs of the committees report to the Board about the activities of the respective committees. In addition, the minutes and documentation of the committee meetings are accessible to all Board members. Each committee has its own charter, which has been approved by the Board. Each standing committee performs a self-assessment once a year, where it reviews its own performance against the responsibilities listed in its charter and the committee's objectives and determines any special focus objectives for the coming year.

The Board furthermore established an ad-hoc committee of the Board in 2022, the IBSC.

It regularly and independently assesses the risk exposure of our various business activities, taking into account industry trends, strategic and organizational decisions, best practice and regulatory matters.

As part of its efforts to achieve best practice, Internal Audit regularly benchmarks its methods and tools against those of its peers. In addition, it submits periodic internal reports and summaries thereof to the management teams as well as the Chairman and the Audit Committee Chair. The Head of Internal Audit provides at least quarterly updates to the Audit Committee or more frequently as appropriate. Internal Audit coordinates its operations with the activities of the external auditor for maximum effect.

The Audit Committee annually assesses the performance and effectiveness of the Internal Audit function. For 2022, the Audit Committee concluded that the Internal Audit function was effective and independent, with the appropriate resources to deliver on the Internal Audit Charter.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of the external auditor.

**Responsibilities**

The Executive Board is responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the Group under the leadership of the CEO.

As part of its main duties and responsibilities, the Executive Board:

■ establishes the strategic business plans for the Group overall as well as for the principal businesses, subject to approval by the Board;

■ regularly reviews and coordinates significant initiatives, projects and business developments in the divisions and the corporate functions, including important risk management matters;

■ regularly reviews the consolidated and divisional financial performance, including progress on key performance indicators, as well as the Group's capital and liquidity positions and those of its major subsidiaries;

■ appoints and dismisses senior managers, with the exception of managers from Internal Audit, and periodically reviews senior management talent across the Group and talent development programs;

■ reviews and approves business transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, establishment of joint ventures and establishment of subsidiary companies; and

■ approves key policies for the Group.

**Executive Board committees**

The Executive Board has a number of standing committees, which meet regularly throughout the year and/or as required. These committees are:

■ Executive Board Risk Management Committee (ExB RMC): co-chaired by the Group's CEO, CRO and CCO: Replaces the Internal Control System and Position & Client Risk cycles of

the former Capital Allocation and Risk Management Committee (CARMC) and the former Executive Board Risk Forum. The ExB RMC is primarily responsible for steering and monitoring the development and execution of the Group's risk strategy, approving risk appetite across all risk types for the Group and its divisions, as well as reviewing the aggregate and highest risk exposures, major risk concentrations and key non-financial risks. The ExB RMC approves risk limit applications that require final approval by the Risk Committee or the Board. The ExB RMC is also responsible for assessing the appropriateness and efficiency of the internal control system and serves as an escalation point for risk issues raised by subordinated risk committees or Executive Board members.

■ Group Capital Allocation and Liability Management Committee (Group CALMC) replaces the Asset & Liability Management cycle of the former CARMC. Group CALMC reviews the funding and balance sheet trends and activities, plans and monitors regulatory and business liquidity requirements and internal and regulatory capital adequacy. Group CALMC also reviews and proposes the contingency funding plan for approval by the Board, reviews the position taking of interest rate risk in the banking book and decides on changes in approaches relating to investment of own equity. Further, it sets internal targets, approves and reviews adherence to internal targets for capital allocation, funding, liquidity and capital management actions, including the review and monitoring of share repurchases.

■ The Credit Suisse AG Parent Capital Allocation, Liability and Risk Management Committee (Credit Suisse AG Parent CALRMC) reviews the capital, liquidity and funding trends and activities of Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company). The CS AG Parent CALRMC reviews and challenges the financial and capital plans of major subsidiaries of the Bank parent company, including key risks and key dependencies, such as dividends or other capital repatriations from the major subsidiaries to the Bank parent company, ahead of approvals by the respective subsidiary governance bodies. The committee also monitors and reviews the Bank parent company's aggregate risk profile, in particular the Bank parent company-specific vulnerabilities, and approves risk appetite for the Bank parent company and its branches.

■ Valuation Risk Management Committee (VARMC): the VARMC is responsible for establishing policies regarding the valuation of certain material assets and the policies and calculation methodologies applied in the valuation process. Further, the VARMC is responsible for monitoring and assessing valuation risks, reviewing inventory valuation conclusions and directing the resolution of significant valuation issues.

■ Group Conduct Board (GCB): the GCB (co-chaired by the Global Head of People together with one of the other Executive Board members appointed to the GCB on an annually rotating basis) is responsible for overseeing conduct matters and ensuring consistency and alignment of practices across the Group. The GCB oversees the global disciplinary process and measures and serves as a review panel to consider potential significant events and individual compensation. The GCB also reviews findings from conduct related investigations and considers these in the context of determining disciplinary outcomes.

■ Group Values and Culture Board (GVCB): the Executive Board is in the process of setting up the GVCB, which will have responsibility for establishing and determining the governance framework for the management of culture and values related matters throughout the Group. The GVCB will be co-chaired by the CEO, the Global Head of People and the CRO. It is planned that the GVCB will begin activities in the second quarter of 2023.

The Group appoints a conduct and ethics ombudsperson who is accountable directly to the CEO and the GCB. The ombudsperson's role is to serve as a point of immediate escalation when sexual harassment claims arise and to ensure there is appropriate awareness of and attention to such claims. The ombudsperson works with our Compliance, General Counsel and People functions as well as our business divisions to review our relevant global training programs, policies and protocols, so that they can be further enhanced as part of our efforts to prevent sexual harassment at work and to make sure all cases are managed in a fair, accurate and consistent way within our global framework.

Audit

**External Audit**

External Audit forms an integral part of the Group's corporate governance framework and plays a key role by providing an independent assessment of our operations and internal controls.

> Refer to "Audit Committee" in Board of Directors – Board committees for further information on the responsibilities of the audit committee.

**Principal external auditor**

The Group retains a single global audit firm as its principal external auditor to perform both the statutory (financial) audit and the regulatory audit work mandated by FINMA. The AGM elects the statutory auditor annually, while the Board is responsible for the appointment of the regulatory auditor.

Our principal external auditor is PwC, Birchstrasse 160, 8050 Zurich, Switzerland. The mandate was first given to PwC for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The Group is not subject to mandatory external audit firm rotation requirements; however, the lead audit partners are subject to periodic rotation requirements. Audit partner rotation is key to ensuring the highest level of audit quality. In general, audit partners with key roles or signing obligations for the Group or material Group entities are subject to a maximum of five years of service. Audit partners with roles overseeing non-material Group entities or serving a supplemental role are subject to a maximum of seven years of service. Specialist partners, including, but not limited to, IT, valuation, tax and forensic areas are not subject to mandated rotation. The lead Group engagement partners are Matthew Falconer, Global Lead Partner, Matthew Goldman, Group Engagement Partner and Andrin Bernet, Lead Regulatory Audit Partner.

> Refer to "Audit Committee" in Board of Directors – Board committees for further information.

**Governance**

The Audit Committee monitors and pre-approves the fees to be paid to the principal external auditor for its services. It has developed and approved a policy on the engagement of public accounting firms that is designed to help ensure that the independence of the external auditor is maintained at all times.

The policy limits the scope of services that the principal external auditor may provide to us or any of our subsidiaries in connection with its audit and stipulates certain permissible types of non-audit services, including audit-related services and tax services that have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The principal external auditor is required to report periodically to the Audit Committee about the scope of the services it has provided and the fees for the services it has performed to date. The principal external auditor also provides a report as to its independence to the Audit Committee at least once a year. In accordance with our pre-approval policy and as in prior years, all non-audit services provided in 2022 were pre-approved.

The fees paid to PwC as the Group's principal external auditors for the financial year 2022 and 2021 are provided in the following table.

The principal external auditor attends all meetings of the Audit Committee and reports on the findings of its audit and/or interim review work. The Audit Committee reviews the principal external auditor's audit plan on an annual basis and evaluates the performance of the principal external auditor and its senior representatives in fulfilling their responsibilities. Moreover, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board the appointment or replacement of the principal external auditor, subject to shareholder approval as required by Swiss law.

**Special auditor for capital increases**

The 2022 AGM re-elected, pursuant to Art. 21 of our AoA, the firm BDO AG, Fabrikstrasse 50, 8031 Zurich, Switzerland, as special auditor for the purposes of issuing the legally required report for capital increases in accordance with Article 652f of the Swiss Code of Obligations, mainly relating to the valuation of companies in consideration of the qualified capital increases involving contributions in kind. BDO AG provided services in 2022 in connection with the Group's capital increases. As part of the amendments to the AoA proposed at the 2023 AGM, the Board proposes to delete Art. 21 of the AoA, thus removing the requirement for an election of the special auditors by the shareholders. While the preparation of an independent report in connection with capital increases is still required, the Board would have the authority to mandate an appropriate third-party to prepare such reports rather than proposing the election of a special auditor at the AGM.

Additional information

**Banking relationships with Board and Executive Board members and related party transactions**

The Group is a global financial services provider. Many of the members of the Board and the Executive Board, their close family members or companies associated with them maintain banking relationships with us. The Group or any of its banking subsidiaries may from time to time enter into financing and other banking agreements with companies in which current members of the Board or the Executive Board have a significant influence as defined by the SEC, such as holding executive and/or board level roles in these companies. With the exception of the transactions described below, relationships with members of the Board or the Executive Board and such companies were in the ordinary course of business and entered into on an arm's length basis at prevailing market conditions. Also, unless otherwise noted, all loans to members of the Board, members of the Executive Board, their close family members or companies associated with them were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no loan exposures to such related parties that were not made in the ordinary course of business and at prevailing market conditions.

> Refer to "Board loans" and "Executive Board loans (audited)" in V – Compensation – Supplementary information for the outstanding loans to members of the Board and the Executive Board.

**Related party transactions**

On February 9, 2023, the Group announced that it had taken further important steps to progress the carve-out of CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business through the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC, the investment banking business as well as the registered broker-dealer of M. Klein & Company LLC (the seller). The Group also announced the appointment of former Board member Michael Klein as CEO of Banking and regional CEO of Americas, as well as designated CEO of CS First Boston and a member of the Executive Board.

**Other information**

**Complying with rules and regulations**

We fully adhere to Swiss corporate law and the principles set out in the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance, dated August 28, 2014, including its appendix stipulating recommendations on the process for setting compensation for the Board and the Executive Board.

In connection with our primary listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange, we are subject to the Directive on Information relating to Corporate Governance, dated June 18, 2021 (in effect since October 1, 2021). Our shares are also listed on the NYSE in the form of ADS and certain of the Bank's exchange traded notes are listed on Nasdaq. As a result, we are subject to certain US rules and regulations. We adhere to the NYSE's and Nasdaq's corporate governance listing standards (NYSE and Nasdaq standards), with a few exceptions where the rules are not applicable to foreign private issuers.

**Regulations**

The following are the significant differences between Credit Suisse corporate governance standards and the corporate governance standards applicable to US domestic issuers listed on the NYSE and Nasdaq:

**Topic**

**NYSE and Nasdaq standards**

**Swiss standards**

**Approval of employee benefit plans**

The NYSE and Nasdaq require shareholder approval of the establishment for, and material revisions to, certain equity compensation plans.

Swiss law requires shareholder approval of the creation for conditional capital used for the issuance of shares for employee benefit plans and other equity compensation plans, as well as approval of the remuneration of executives, but does not require shareholder approval of the terms of such plans.

**Risk assessment and management**

The NYSE allocates the responsibility for the discussion of guidelines and policies governing the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken to the Audit Committee.

At the level of the Group, these duties are assumed by the Risk Committee, in line with Swiss regulatory standards and expectations. Whereas our Audit Committee members satisfy the NYSE as well as Nasdaq independence requirements, our Risk Committee may include a minority of non-independent members.

**Independence of nominating and corporate Governance Committee**

The NYSE and Nasdaq require that all members of the nominating and corporate governance committee be independent.

The Group's Governance and Nominations Committee is currently composed entirely of independent members, but according to its charter, may also include non-independent members.

**Reporting by the Board**

The NYSE requires that certain board committees report specified information directly to shareholders.

Under Swiss law, only the Board reports directly to the shareholders, and the committees submit their reports to the full Board.

**Appointment of the external auditor**

The NYSE and Nasdaq require that an Audit Committee of a listed company comply with and have the authority necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 10A-3 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the external auditor unless there is a conflicting requirement under home country law.

Under Swiss law, the appointment of the external auditor for accounting purposes must be approved by the shareholders at the AGM based on the proposal of the Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee.

**Audit Committee charter**

The Nasdaq requires the Audit Committee to review and assess the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis.

Our Audit Committee's charter only requires review and assessment from time to time in accordance with applicable Swiss laws and regulatory standards.

**Executive sessions**

The NYSE and Nasdaq require the board of directors to meet regularly in executive sessions composed solely of independent directors. Our Board meets regularly in executive sessions comprising all directors, including any directors determined not to be independent. However, if any item discussed at the meeting raises a conflict of interest for any of our directors, such director may not participate in the related decision making.

In line with Swiss law, the Board must not include any directors who are also members of management.

**Quorums**

The Nasdaq requires that the company's by-laws provide for a quorum of at least 33<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock for any meeting of the holders of common stock.

Consistent with Swiss corporate law, the Group's AoA (Chapter IV, Section 1, The General Meeting of Shareholders, Art. 12), call for a quorum in certain instances, but do not require a quorum of 33<sup>1</sup>/<sub>3</sub>% or greater of the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock for any meeting of shareholders.

**Independence**

The NYSE and Nasdaq specify thresholds for the maximum permissible amount of (i) direct compensation that can be paid by the company to a director or an immediate family member thereof, outside of such director's directorship fees and other permitted payments; and (ii) payments between the company and another company at which such director or an immediate family member thereof is an executive officer, controlling shareholder, partner or employee.

Our independence standards do not specify thresholds for direct compensation or cross-company payments or revenues, but consider these facts in the overall materiality of the business relationship determination for independence purposes.

**Fiduciary duties and indemnification**

The Swiss Code of Obligations requires directors and members of senior management to safeguard the interests of the corporation and, in connection with this requirement, imposes the duties of care and loyalty on directors and members of senior management. While Swiss law does not have a specific provision on conflicts of interest, the duties of care and loyalty are generally understood to disqualify directors and members of senior management from participating in decisions that could directly affect them. Directors and members of senior management are personally liable to the corporation for any breach of these provisions.

The Group's AoA and the Bank's AoA do not contain provisions regarding the indemnification of directors and officers. According to Swiss statutory law, an employee has a right to be indemnified by the employer against losses and expenses incurred by such person in the execution of such person's duties under an employment agreement, unless the losses and expenses arise from the employee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is our policy to indemnify current and former directors and/or employees against certain losses and expenses in respect of service as a director or employee of the Group, one of the Group's affiliates or another entity that we have approved, subject to specific conditions or exclusions. We maintain directors' and officers' insurance for our directors and officers.

**Fees and charges for holders of ADS**

In November 2016, the Group entered into a deposit agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon as depositary for the ADS (Depositary). In February 2022, the deposit agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon was extended for an additional five years, retroactively effective November 22, 2021. In accordance with the deposit agreement, the Depositary may charge holders of our ADS, either directly or indirectly, fees or charges up to the amounts described below.

The Depositary collects its fees and related expenses for the delivery and surrender of ADS directly from investors depositing or surrendering ADS for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The Depositary collects fees and expenses for making distributions to holders by deducting those fees and expenses from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees and expenses. The Depositary may generally refuse to provide any services until its fees for those services are paid.

**Fees and charges for holders of ADS**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Fees** | **Fees** |
| USD 5 (or less) per 100 ADS (or portion thereof) | For the issuance of ADS, including issuances resulting from a distribution of shares, share dividends, share splits and other property; for ADS issued upon the exercise of rights; and for the surrender of ADS for cancellation and withdrawal of shares. |
| USD 0.05 (or less) per ADS | For any distribution of cash to ADS registered holders, including upon the sale of rights or other entitlements. |
| Registration or transfer fees | For the transfer and registration of shares on our share register to or from the name of the Depositary or its agent when the holder deposits or withdraws shares. |
| **Charges** | **Charges** |
| Expenses of the Depositary | For cable and facsimile transmissions (when expressly provided in the deposit agreement); and for converting foreign currency to US dollars. |
| Taxes and other governmental charges | Paid, as necessary, to the Depositary or the custodian who pays certain charges on any ADS or share underlying an ADS, for example, stock transfer taxes, stamp duty or applicable interest or penalty thereon. |
| Other charges | Paid, as necessary, to the Depositary or its agents for servicing the deposited shares. |

---

**Amounts paid by the Depositary to the Group**

In 2022, in accordance with the deposit agreement, the Depositary made payments to the Group in an aggregated amount of USD 2.6 million. The payments made to the Group comprised annual and revenue sharing payments. The expenses relating to the ADS program are reimbursed separately by the Depositary. The Depositary has also contractually agreed to provide certain ADS program-related services free of charge.

Under certain circumstances, including removal of the Depositary or termination of the ADS program by the Group, the Group is required to repay certain amounts paid to the Group and to compensate the Depositary for payments made or services provided on behalf of the Group.

Compensation

Letter from the Chair of the Compensation Committee

**Christian Gellerstad**

**Chair of the Compensation Committee**

**Dear shareholders,**

In 2022 we faced an extremely challenging macro and geopolitical environment, with market uncertainty and client risk aversion impacting client volumes and banking activity. Our Group's performance in this challenging context has been unacceptable, triggering major decisions, starting with a comprehensive transformation strategy announced in October 2022 and the recruitment of a largely new Executive Board team. We are confident that we have laid the foundation for a much more resilient and successful organization, although this transformation journey will undoubtedly require an extraordinary and sustained commitment from our leadership teams and employees across the firm.

Since taking on the role of Chair of the Compensation Committee in April 2022, I have worked with my fellow Board members to address the challenge of combining overarching "pay for performance" requirements with the necessity to maintain an attractive and operational franchise during our transformation. In this balancing act, the Compensation Committee has frequently consulted with shareholders and regulators and has extensively incorporated the feedback received in its deliberation process. This has been extremely valuable in developing our approach to compensation going forward, and I would like to thank all those who took part for their time and commitment.

We remain mindful that our compensation framework and principles must fully align with the experience and successes of our clients and shareholders, and this letter sets out the difficult decisions taken with respect to compensation outcomes for 2022 and introduces our proposed approach for 2023 with the supporting rationale.

We have also made several improvements to this year's compensation report to enhance its clarity and presentation. In particular, we have introduced a new section called "Compensation at a glance", which follows this letter and provides a summary of the 2022 compensation outcomes and proposals for 2023 onwards.

**Group performance and the variable compensation pool** 

As explained, the Group's financial results in 2022 included impacts from market-related elements, but also our strategic overhaul resulting in restructuring expenses and impairment of deferred tax assets, as well as the resolution of a number of legacy litigation cases, resulting in an unsatisfactory Group net loss attributable to shareholders of CHF 7.3 billion. In terms of adjusted results, the Group delivered an adjusted full year loss before taxes of CHF 1.2 billion. As a consequence, the Compensation Committee resolved that the Group variable incentive pool should be reduced significantly. The final outcome of CHF 1.0 billion is down 50% from 2021 levels, and down 66% from 2020 levels. This pool level was set at the minimum level considered appropriate to enable the honoring of contractual commitments and payment of formulaic bonuses in the relevant areas, and to keep potential franchise damage through key employee attrition at a manageable level.

> Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to "Reconciliation of adjustment items" in II – Operating and financial review – Credit Suisse for further information.

In addition, to mitigate the cost and capital impact of variable incentives in 2022, and to strengthen alignment with the longer-term shareholder experience, the Compensation Committee determined that employees with Managing Director and Director titles were granted variable incentive compensation predominantly in the form of deferred share awards. In general, except as contractually required, the cash component was limited to a maximum of CHF 150,000 and, where permitted by local law, delivered as upfront cash awards, which are cash awards that must be repaid (on pro-rata basis) upon a voluntary termination of employment or in the event of other specified repayment conditions.

Moreover, the impact of performance underpins on some outstanding awards, combined with further decrease in our share price, have strongly impacted the value of outstanding deferred awards held by employees, demonstrating inherent alignment with shareholders. For example, the 2022 negative Group Return on Equity (ROE) and the divisional loss before taxes in the Investment Bank division have resulted in a CHF 55 million negative adjustment to outstanding performance share awards pursuant to the terms of the awards. Over the period from 2017 to 2021, the aggregate value of deferred variable compensation awarded has decreased by 63% from their initial grant value, down from CHF 4.7 billion to CHF 1.7 billion, assuming employees sold shares at the earliest opportunity following vesting. Assuming all of the awards initially made remained currently outstanding, and based on a share price at the end of 2022 of CHF 2.76, the aggregate value of deferred compensation would represent approximately CHF 1 billion, approximately 78% lower than the initial grant value.

**Executive Board compensation outcomes**

The threshold levels for each of the financial metrics under the new framework introduced for 2022 were not met. While continued progress against key strategic, cultural and risk objectives resulted in the non-financial elements being assessed close

to target, the formulaic application of the aggregate cap on the Executive Board variable compensation pool of 2% of Group income before taxes resulted in a zero variable compensation pool. As such, aggregate Executive Board compensation for 2022 consisted of CHF 32.2 million of fixed compensation only. This follows two years of constrained compensation levels for the Executive Board.

> Refer to "Compensation outcomes for 2022" in Executive Board compensation for further information.

**Chief Executive Officer (CEO) compensation**

Mr. Körner was appointed Group CEO on August 1, 2022. His total compensation granted for 2022 amounted to CHF 2.5 million (including compensation for his role as an Executive Board member prior to becoming the Group CEO).

In terms of realized compensation for 2022, the Group CEO received CHF 2.5 million, which comprised CHF 2.3 million of base salary and CHF 0.2 million for pension and benefits.

> Refer to "Compensation of the Group CEO" in Executive Board compensation for further information.

**Enhancements to the Group and Executive Board compensation framework**

Following the announcement of the revised Group strategy in October 2022, the Compensation Committee undertook a review and simplification of the compensation framework to ensure that it continues to motivate and incentivize employees appropriately. The deferral framework applied to Group employees has been closely aligned to peer practices, and variable incentive compensation has been awarded in a combination of immediate cash awards, deferred cash awards (including, in the form of upfront cash awards), and deferred share awards. For performance year 2022 and onwards, performance share awards and contingent capital awards will no longer be granted to employees including the Executive Board, however any such outstanding awards will continue to vest according to their terms and conditions.

For the Executive Board, the Compensation Committee agreed that the framework implemented in 2022 remains largely fit for purpose. Some refinements have been made to the financial metrics to place more focus on our core businesses over the next few years, while the non-financial elements have been streamlined to focus on critical transformation-related metrics where relevant. Specifically, for 2023 we have:

■ Incorporated financial metrics that reflect the "New Credit Suisse", which are Core return on tangible equity (RoTE) and Core adjusted income before taxes; and

■ Introduced a cost base target as a key yearly milestone to measure the successful execution of the transformation strategy against our cost reduction goals.

> Refer to "Compensation framework for Executive Board members for 2023" in Executive Board Compensation for further information.

In addition, the nature of the transformation announced in October 2022 led the Compensation Committee to re-evaluate the appropriateness of two compensation design features introduced in 2022, namely the cap on aggregate Executive Board variable incentive compensation of 2% of income before taxes and the relative total shareholder return (RTSR) condition whereby variable compensation would be delivered entirely in the form of deferred share awards in the event of a ranking within the bottom quintile of the defined RTSR peer group. Recognizing that situations may arise where there may be the appearance of a conflict between the shorter-term and longer-term interests of the business, and the one-year focus of the cap and RTSR condition, the Compensation Committee has decided to suspend both features for the period 2023-2025, to ensure the ability to provide market-competitive compensation to our leadership team. While the aggregate cap is temporarily suspended, the individual caps on maximum annual variable incentive awards remain in place, namely 4x base salary for the CEO and 5x base salary for all other Executive Board members, excluding the Transformation Award. The Compensation Committee retains its overall discretion to ensure that compensation outcomes are aligned with underlying performance, and can evaluate extraordinary and unanticipated events in assessing potential adjustments to financial results for the purpose of determining performance against financial incentive targets.

**Transformation Award for the 2023-2025 turnaround period** 

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee granted a one-time Transformation Award to approximately 500 employees globally who hold senior leadership positions and other talent identified as being critical to the "New Credit Suisse" strategy. This will include the Executive Board members, subject to shareholder approval at the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The purpose of this award is to retain and motivate key managerial, business development, and expert resources across the Group to ensure efficient and timely delivery of the transformation, as well as full achievement of our publicly communicated 2025 Group RoTE and cost base reduction targets. The entire Board of Directors regards this initiative as critical to the successful execution of our strategy and has given it unanimous support.

**CS First Boston incentive award** 

In order to incentivize and retain the leadership of CS First Boston, a group of senior leaders is expected to be provided with an equity award to participate in the value of CS First Boston in the event of an initial public offering (IPO). Full details of these awards will be provided in connection with an IPO prospectus, if applicable.

**Board of Directors compensation** 

Aggregate compensation for the Board of Directors (Board), including compensation for certain Group Board members serving on subsidiary boards, was CHF 10.4 million, compared with the amount of CHF 13.0 million that was approved prospectively by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. Given the poor financial performance in 2022 and challenging situation for the firm at the

beginning of the three-year transformation, the Chairman proposed to voluntarily waive his chair fee of CHF 1.5 million for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period, and this proposal was accepted by the Board. Following a benchmarking analysis of board chair pay at leading Swiss companies, the Chairman's total compensation will be adjusted from CHF 4.5 million to CHF 3.8 million starting from the 2023 AGM to 2024 AGM period. To enhance alignment with shareholders, the share portion of the Chairman's fees will be increased from the current 33% to 50%, such that his total compensation will be payable 50% in cash (base fee) and 50% in shares (chair fee), blocked for a period of four years. Furthermore, a new minimum shareholding requirement of 500,000 shares has been introduced for the Chairman, in line with the minimum shareholding requirement applicable to Executive Board members. For the 2023 AGM to 2024 AGM period, the aggregate Board compensation amount is proposed to be kept stable, at CHF 13.0 million.

**"Say-on-Pay" compensation proposals at the 2023 AGM** 

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors understand that some of the compensation program actions we have taken diverge from what companies would implement in normal circumstances, but strongly believe that the extraordinary context in which the Group currently operates requires decisive measures. We look forward to the successful completion of our transformation, allowing for a timely return to more conventional compensation outcomes. With this in mind, at the 2023 AGM, we will be seeking shareholder support for the say-on-pay proposals described in the following table:

![p20f](x05_0043.gif)

Further information on each of these proposals will be contained in the AGM invitation and will also be available at *credit-suisse.com/agm*.

On behalf of the Compensation Committee, I would like to wholeheartedly thank our employees and the Executive Board for their continued support during this extremely difficult compensation round for Credit Suisse Group, as well as thank shareholders again for their input and feedback over the last 12 months. The Compensation Committee members remain committed to supporting the Group's transformation process and are very confident and truly excited about the journey ahead.

**Compensation at a glance**

**Executive Board compensation outcomes**

The total variable compensation pool for the Executive Board is determined based on the achievement of annual financial (70% weighting) and non-financial objectives (30% weighting). For 2022, none of the threshold performance levels for the financial metrics were met. While the non-financial achievements were close to target, the Compensation Committee also considered the Group's overall financial and share price performance during 2022. Ultimately, the application of the cap on the Executive Board's variable compensation pool, based on 2% Group income before taxes, resulted in zero variable compensation for the Executive Board for 2022, given the Group's reported loss.

![p20f](x05_0046.gif)

> Refer to "Executive Board compensation" for further information.

**Group variable compensation outcomes**

The Group variable incentive compensation awarded for 2022 was significantly constrained by the Group's poor financial performance. The total pool of CHF 1,000 million is 50% lower than the 2021 pool and 66% lower than in 2020. Approximately 34% of the variable incentive compensation awarded is deferred, with a vesting period of at least three years after award grant.

![p20f](x05_0045.gif)

Other variable compensation awarded in 2022 included CHF 497 million for the Strategic Delivery Plan (SDP) awards granted to most Managing Directors and Directors to incentivize the longer-term delivery of the Group's strategy, and CHF 367 million of retention awards to key talent and senior management in the form of deferred cash (subject to clawback) and deferred share-based awards, mostly to employees in the Investment Bank division.

> Refer to "Group compensation" for further information.

**Transformation Award aligned with implementation of the Group's strategy over 2023-2025**

The Transformation Award is a one-time award consisting of a deferred share-based award for Executive Board members (subject to shareholder approval at the 2023 AGM) and, for employees who are not members of the Executive Board, a combination of a deferred share-based award and a deferred cash award. The deferred share-based award is subject to achievement of performance conditions being achieved by the end of the 2023-2025 performance period. The Transformation Award is considered critical to retain and motivate key individuals to deliver against our ambitious transformation journey through what is expected to be a highly challenging period. The design is intended to:

■ strongly align management's interests with those of shareholders through stretch performance conditions and increased exposure to equity;

■ provide a clear focus on return metrics to incentivize sustainable value creation for shareholders;

■ motivate delivery of objectives through 2023-2025, to complement the existing annual framework; and

■ payout of deferred share-based awards subject to performance conditions, with no payout for results below threshold level.

The eligibility and key features are described in the following table.

> Refer to "Group compensation" for further information.

**Board of Directors compensation**

Aggregate compensation for the Board, including compensation for certain Group Board members serving on subsidiary boards, was CHF 10.4 million, compared with CHF 13.0 million approved by shareholders and CHF 11.7 million paid for the prior year.

Compensation framework, policy, and governance

**Compensation strategy and objectives**

Consistent with prior years, our key compensation objectives are to maintain compensation practices that:

■ foster a **performance culture** based on merit that differentiates and rewards excellent performance;

■ **attract and retain employees**, and motivate them to achieve results with integrity and fairness;

■ **balance the mix of fixed and variable** compensation to appropriately reflect the value and responsibility of the role performed, and to influence appropriate behaviors and actions;

■ promote **effective risk management** practices that are aligned with the Group's compliance and control cultures;

■ create a culture that adheres **to high standards of conduct and behavior aligned with values**,through a system of applying both malus and rewards;

■ encourage **teamwork and collaboration** across the Group;

■ achieve a **balanced distribution of profitability between shareholders and employees** over the long term, subject to Group performance and market conditions; and

■ take into account the long-term performance of the Group, in order to **create sustainable value for shareholders**.

**Executive Board compensation framework**

**Executive Board compensation framework 2022**

As set out in the 2021 Compensation Report, a revised framework was introduced for the Executive Board for 2022. The aggregate Executive Board variable compensation pool is determined based on the achievement of annual financial (70% weighting) and non-financial (30% weighting) performance objectives set at the beginning of the year. To determine the aggregate Executive Board variable compensation pool, the Compensation Committee reviews the Group's performance against these objectives at the end of the performance period. In making its assessment, the Compensation Committee also takes into account how the results compare with those delivered in the prior year, relative peer performance, and market positioning and trends. The total pool amount for 2022 was subject to a cap of 2% of Group income before taxes excluding any items that the Compensation Committee determines are not reflective of underlying performance, resulting in no variable compensation awarded for 2022.

**Executive Board compensation design and refinements for 2023**

Following its annual review of the Executive Board compensation framework, the Compensation Committee concluded that the overall Executive Board compensation design remains largely fit for purpose, but that several refinements to the annual framework were required for the period 2023 to 2025. First, the financial performance conditions used to determine the Executive Board variable compensation pool will focus on Core return on tangible equity and Core adjusted income before taxes, as well as cost base target. Second, the Compensation Committee re-evaluated the appropriateness of two compensation design features introduced in 2022, namely the cap on aggregate Executive Board variable incentive compensation of 2% of income before taxes and the RTSR condition whereby variable compensation would be delivered entirely in the form of deferred share awards in the event of a ranking within the bottom quintile of the defined RTSR peer group. Recognizing that situations may arise where there may be the appearance of a conflict between the shorter-term and longer-term interests of the business, and the one-year focus of the cap and RTSR condition, the Compensation Committee has decided to suspend both features for the period 2023-2025, to ensure the ability to provide market-competitive compensation to our leadership team. While the aggregate cap is temporarily suspended, the individual caps on maximum annual variable incentive awards (excluding the Transformation Award) remain in place, namely 4x base salary for the CEO and 5x base salary for all other Executive Board members. The Compensation Committee retains its overall discretion to ensure that compensation outcomes are aligned with underlying performance, and can evaluate extraordinary and unanticipated events in assessing potential adjustments to financial results for the purpose of determining performance against financial incentive targets.

**Compensation framework for Executive Board members for 2023**

Variable compensation for Executive Board members will continue to be granted as 70% in deferred share awards subject to underpins. The remaining portion will be granted as cash awards, with 15% as immediate cash, and 15% deferred cash vesting in equal tranches over the second, third and fourth anniversaries of grant. In line with the simplification of the compensation framework for the overall Group, contingent capital awards (CCA) will no longer form part of the Executive Board compensation design.

![p20f](x05_0053.gif)

Some refinements have been made to the financial metrics for 2023 to place more focus on our core businesses and cost base reduction goals, and the non-financial elements have been streamlined to focus on critical transformation-related metrics where relevant, as shown in the table below.

![p20f](x05_0041.gif)

**Group compensation framework** 

**Determination of Group variable incentive compensation pool**

The Group's variable incentive compensation pool for all employees, including the CEO and the other Executive Board members, is determined on an annual basis, with accruals made throughout the year. In determining the Group, divisional and corporate function pools, the Compensation Committee aims to balance the distribution of the Group's profits between shareholders and employees. The factors taken into consideration at the Group level, as well as at the divisional and functional levels, are shown in the illustration below. The primary driver of the initial pool amounts is economic contribution, with non-financial factors taken into consideration to arrive at the final level.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the accruals and related financial information and applies adjustments in exceptional circumstances to ensure that the overall size of the pools is consistent with the Group's compensation objectives.

The total amount of the variable incentive compensation pool for the corporate functions is not linked to the performance of the particular divisions that employees of the corporate functions support or oversee, but takes into account the Group-wide financial performance, non-financial factors and changes in headcount. Therefore, employees working in the corporate functions, including those performing control functions, are remunerated independently from the performance of the businesses they oversee or support. As with the business divisions, risk, control, compliance and conduct and ethics considerations and relative performance compared with peers, as well as the market and regulatory environment, are taken into account.

![p20f](x05_0015.gif)

The key elements of our current Group employees' compensation framework and how they applied to various employee categories are described below.

**Base salaries**

All employees are paid a base salary. Salary levels are based on the skills, qualifications and relevant experience of the individual, the responsibilities required by the role and external market factors.

**Role-based allowances**

Role-based allowances are a component of fixed compensation awarded to certain employees identified as Material Risk Takers (MRTs) under UK or EU regulatory requirements. These allowances are determined based on the role and organizational responsibility of the individual. Role-based allowances are deemed to be fixed compensation for the purposes of calculating the cap on variable incentive compensation awarded to MRTs as required by the Capital Requirements Directive V (CRD V) and Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). The deferred cash allowance plan (DCAP) is a form of role-based allowance that is used primarily in the Americas.

**Variable incentive compensation** 

Variable incentive compensation is paid in cash unless the total compensation awarded to an employee is greater than or equal to CHF 250,000 or the local currency equivalent or USD 250,000 for employees whose total compensation is denominated in US dollars. In these cases, a portion is paid in cash and the balance is deferred, vesting at a later date. For 2022, most Managing Directors and Directors who were granted a variable incentive compensation award received the non-deferred portion in the form of an upfront cash award (UCA). The UCA is a form of variable compensation, where employees receive an immediate cash payment that is subject to repayment during the following three-year period in the event of specified conditions such as a termination of employment by voluntary resignation, a termination for cause, engagement in conduct that is materially detrimental to the Group or other prohibited activity. The repayment amount equals the gross amount of the award, pro-rated based on the portion of time remaining in the three-year period from the departure date until the end of the three-year period.

Generally, employees receive the cash portion of their variable incentive compensation at a regular payroll settlement date close to the grant date. To comply with CRD V requirements, employees who hold material risk taker roles in respect of certain Group subsidiaries in the EU receive shares for 50% of the non-deferred portion of variable incentive compensation that would have been paid to them in cash. These shares are vested at the time of grant but remain blocked, that is, subject to transfer restrictions, for a period of time, generally 12 months.

The Compensation Committee made some refinement to deferral rates for Group employees. For 2022, these deferral rates ranged from 10% to 60% of the variable incentive award, compared with 10% to 50% for 2021. In general, the cash component of the variable incentive compensation for 2022 was limited to a maximum of CHF 150,000 per employee for Managing Directors and Directors and delivered as UCA. For all other employees, the cash component was limited to a maximum of CHF 2 million or the local currency equivalent (or USD 2 million for employees whose total compensation is denominated in US dollars) per employee.

**Compensation components by employee category**![p20f](x05_0013.gif)

**Deferred compensation: key features** 

From 2022 onwards, performance share awards and contingent capital awards will no longer be granted, however any such outstanding awards will continue to vest according to the planned schedule.

![p20f](x05_0054.gif)

**Compensation framework for Group employees**

The compensation structure for employees (excluding the Executive Board) consists of fixed compensation in the form of base salary, role-based allowances and pension and benefits, and variable compensation in the form of cash and deferred share awards, as shown in the diagram below.

![p20f](x05_0007.gif)

> Refer to "Group compensation" for further information.

**Board of Directors compensation framework** 

The Board compensation framework is based on a fixed fee structure for the period from one AGM to the next AGM with pre-defined fees for Board membership, committee membership and chairing a committee. In line with industry practice, Board fees are not linked to the financial performance of the Group. Fees for specific Board leadership roles are reviewed periodically and adjusted as required. Base Board fees have not changed for over 10 years. The following table summarizes the Board fees applicable for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period.

![p20f](x05_0028.gif)

> Refer to "Board of Directors compensation" for further information.

**Sustainability in compensation**

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) related factors are considered in various stages of the compensation process:

■ **Group variable incentive pool:** the Compensation Committee considers audit, disciplinary, risk and regulatory-related issues, among other factors, in order to determine appropriate adjustments to the Group, divisional and corporate functions pools. In addition, one of the key drivers of bonus pool development at the divisional level is economic contribution, which factors in the level of risk taken to achieve profitability;

■ **Executive Board variable compensation:** Since 2022, 30% of the total Executive Board variable compensation pool is assessed based on ESG-related factors, with measurable objectives within the three non-financial categories of Risk and Control, Values and Culture, and Sustainability;

■ **Equal pay policy:** Credit Suisse does not tolerate any form of discrimination, in particular discrimination based on ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, marital or family status, pregnancy, disability, or any other status that is protected by local law. We recognize and value diversity and inclusion as a driver of success. Our policies and practices support a culture of fairness, where employment-related decisions, including decisions on compensation, are based on an individual's qualifications, performance and behavior, or other legitimate business considerations, such as the profitability of the Group or the division and department of the individual, and the strategic needs of the Group. Consistent with our long-term commitment to fair pay, the Compensation Committee reviews our pay practices on a regular basis to identify potential areas requiring more attention. In 2022, we engaged a third-party consultant to conduct a gender pay equity analysis for certain major locations. The analysis confirmed that we provide "equal pay for equal work" for women and men in the same job and at the same level. This analysis covered employees at all levels within the Group, who were based in Switzerland, Germany, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland and Singapore. Taking into account factors such as role, experience, tenure, and geography, the analysis concluded that, in these major locations, women earned 99% of what men earned on a total compensation basis. In recognition of Credit Suisse's commitment to gender pay equity, the largest Credit Suisse employing entities in Switzerland were awarded the quality label from the Social Partnership Centre for Equal Pay in the Banking Industry and have been certified with the "Fair Pay" label (most recently in 2021). We will continue to review compensation to ensure that our commitment to equal pay is upheld.

**Compensation Governance** 

**The Compensation Committee**

The Compensation Committee is the supervisory and governing body for compensation policies, practices and plans. In designing and setting compensation, the Compensation Committee aims to make decisions in the best interests of the Group and to align the interests of the Group's employees to those of shareholders and other stakeholders. The Compensation Committee reviews proposals regarding Group, Executive Board and Board compensation, and makes recommendations to the Board for approval. Total Executive Board compensation and Board compensation are also subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Swiss law and the Articles of Association (AoA).

The Compensation Committee consists of at least three members of the Board, all of whom must be independent. The members during the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM term were Christian Gellerstad (Chair), Iris Bohnet, Michael Klein, Shan Li, and Amanda Norton. Michael Klein ceased to be member on October 27, 2022. The Board has applied the independence criteria of the SIX Swiss Exchange Directive on Information relating to Corporate Governance, the Swiss Financial Market Authority FINMA (FINMA), the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance, and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq), in determining that all of these individuals are independent.

> Refer to "Independence" in IV – Corporate Governance – Board of Directors for more information on how the Group determines the independence of its Board members.

**Compensation Committee activities**

The Chairman and the CEO may attend the Compensation Committee meetings, and the Compensation Committee Chair determines the attendance of other Board members, Executive Board members, senior management, compensation advisers and external legal counsel, as appropriate. The Chairman, CEO, Executive Board members and senior management do not participate in discussions which relate to their own compensation outcomes.

In addition to the 28 investor and proxy adviser meetings held by the Compensation Committee Chair, during 2022, the Compensation Committee held 12 internal meetings and calls, including one workshop, with an overall attendance rate of 91%. The Compensation Committee's focus areas in 2022 are summarized in the following table:

**Advisers to the Compensation Committee**

The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain external advisers to provide support as it carries out its responsibilities. Deloitte LLP (Deloitte) has been retained to assist the Compensation Committee in ensuring that the Group's compensation programs remain competitive, responsive to regulatory developments and in line with the compensation policy. Deloitte has appointed a senior consultant to advise the Compensation Committee. Apart from assisting the Compensation Committee, this senior consultant does not provide any other services to the Group. The Compensation Committee also obtained external legal advice during 2022 on various matters relating to compensation policy and design. Prior to appointment, the Compensation Committee conducted an independence assessment of its advisers pursuant to the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the listing standards of the NYSE and the Nasdaq.

**Compensation policy** 

The compensation policy applies to all employees and compensation plans of the Group. It contains a detailed description of the Group's compensation principles and objectives as well as the compensation programs. It also sets out the standards and processes relating to the development, management, implementation, and governance of compensation. The compensation policy is available at *credit-suisse.com/compensationpolicy*.

**Approval authority**

The approval authorities for setting the compensation policy and compensation for different groups of employees are defined in the Group's Organizational Guidelines and Regulations and the Compensation Committee charter is available at *credit-suisse.com/governance*.

**Provisions of the Articles of Association related to compensation and loans** 

The AoA contain provisions that govern and outline the principles concerning the compensation of and loans granted to the Board and Executive Board. These are summarized below. The summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the AoA. The AoA are available at *credit-suisse.com/articles*.

**Say-on-pay vote** 

The AGM approves on an annual basis the compensation of the Board in advance for the period up until the next AGM (Art. 8a para. 1 AoA) and the compensation of the Executive Board as a maximum amount or as maximum partial amounts in advance or retroactively for the period described in the proposal of the Board to the AGM (Art. 8b para. 1 AoA). The details on the say-on-pay vote are governed by Art. 8a of the AoA for the compensation of the Board and Art. 8b of the AoA for the compensation of the Executive Board

**Supplementary amount for new Executive Board members** 

If new members join the Executive Board or members of the Executive Board are promoted during the period for which compensation has been approved in advance by the AGM and the compensation approved in advance proves insufficient, a further 30% of the aggregate amounts already approved may be used for the compensation of such members (Art. 8c AoA).

**Compensation principles** 

The compensation of the members of the Board may be paid partly in the form of Group shares (Art. 8a AoA). The compensation of the members of the Executive Board consists of a fixed component and a variable component. The variable component comprises short-term and long-term incentive compensation elements, which may both contain deferred compensation elements and are subject to the achievement of performance targets, which the Board sets on a regular basis. The compensation may be paid partly in the form of Group shares, derivatives based on Group shares or other financial instruments (Art. 8b AoA).

**Loans** 

The Group may grant loans up to a maximum amount of CHF 20 million to each member of the Board at market conditions (Art. 20d AoA) and to each member of the Executive Board at standard terms that apply in the financial sector (Art. 20h AoA).

**Risk and control considerations**

During its annual review of the Group's performance, the Compensation Committee considers input from the Risk Committee Chair with respect to risk considerations, and the Audit Committee Chair with respect to internal control considerations as well as the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee Chair with respect to matters concerning financial crime compliance. The Compensation Committee also considers input from various corporate functions including Risk, Compliance, General Counsel, People and Internal Audit, regarding control and compliance issues and any breaches of relevant rules and regulations or the Group's Code of Conduct.

To meet regulatory guidelines regarding employees engaged in risk-taking activities, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation for employees identified as MRTCs. The Risk Committee is involved in the review process for the compensation of MRTCs.

> Refer to "Focus on risk and control" in Supplementary information for further information.

Executive Board compensation

**Compensation outcomes for 2022**

![p20f](x05_0050.gif)

**Fixed compensation** 

Total fixed compensation for the Executive Board was CHF 32.2 million in 2022, compared with CHF 29.5 million in 2021.

**Variable compensation** 

The threshold levels for each of the financial metrics under the new framework introduced for 2022 were not met. While the non-financial elements were assessed being close to target, the formulaic nature of the maximum cap on aggregate Executive Board variable incentive compensation of 2% of Group income before taxes resulted in a zero variable compensation pool for the Executive Board. Therefore, total aggregate Executive Board compensation for 2022 consisted of CHF 32.2 million of fixed compensation only.

The achievement against the financial performance metrics and non-financial assessment are shown in the table below.

Group compensation

**Compensation outcomes for 2022**

![p20f](x05_0033.gif)

**Total compensation awarded** 

Total compensation awarded for 2022 of CHF 9,384 million was 2% lower than the prior year and included CHF 497 million for the Strategic Delivery Plan (SDP) awards granted to most Managing Directors and Directors to incentivize the longer-term delivery of the Group's strategy. As previously described in the 2021 Compensation Report, the SDP awards were granted in February 2022 and are subject to service conditions and CET1 capital and leverage ratio underpins over the course of 2022-2024, and therefore are reported as part of other variable compensation awarded for 2022.

During 2022, CHF 367 million in retention awards to key talent and senior management in the form of deferred cash (subject to clawback) and deferred share-based awards were awarded, of which CHF 317 million was granted to employees in the Investment Bank division. The focus has been on critical roles where the risk of attrition was high and of immediate concern, and where the respective businesses would be significantly impacted. 1,143 employees received retention awards in 2022. This compares with CHF 395 million in retention awards granted in 2021 to 652 employees in total, of which CHF 299 million was awarded to key talent in the Investment Bank division.

**Median and average employee compensation**

For 2022, the median annualized total compensation (excluding pension and benefits and dividend equivalents) of all of our bonus eligible employees of our company (other than the CEO) was CHF 110,000, and the annual total compensation of our CEO was CHF 2.29 million (excluding pension and benefits and dividend equivalents). Based on this information, for 2022, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the median annual total compensation of all employees was calculated to be 20.8 to 1. This compared with a ratio 31.1 to 1 for 2021 which was based on annual CEO total compensation of CHF 3.51 million and median annual total compensation of all employees of CHF 113,000.

The average total compensation awarded for 2022 was calculated at approximately CHF 185,895 per employee (full-time equivalents), 2% lower compared with approximately CHF 189,542 per employee for the prior year, as calculated by taking the total compensation awarded for each year and dividing by the number of employees (full-time equivalents) reported at the end of each year. The 2021 average total compensation amount has been restated following the restatement of the 2021 year-end employee (full-time equivalents) to take into account the reduction-in-force program.

**Variable incentive compensation awarded for 2022**

As described in the Compensation Policy and Governance section, a key factor in determining the initial Group bonus pool is economic contribution. However, for 2022, sizing the pool purely on financial performance would have led to an inappropriate outcome given the efforts and achievements of the majority of employees and the need to incentivize and retain staff. Therefore, the Compensation Committee considered as a starting point a pool "floor" level of CHF 1.0 billion as appropriate. Although the Group's performance against ESG-related objectives was in line with target, and the Compensation Committee noted the overall improvement in the Group's risk culture as indicated by a review of control function feedback, no adjustments to the floor level were made. In considering market trends and positioning, the Compensation Committee acknowledged that peer compensation levels, while down compared with the prior year, were likely to remain relatively high compared with recent historical levels. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee decided not to make any positive adjustments to the Group variable compensation floor level, which at CHF 1.0 billion, was 50% lower than the prior year pool.

**Changes to the value of outstanding deferred awards**

Employees experience changes to the value of their deferred compensation awards during the vesting period due to both implicit and explicit value changes. Implicit value changes primarily reflect market-driven effects, such as changes in the Group share price, changes in the value of the CCA and foreign exchange rate movements. Explicit value changes reflect risk adjustments triggered by conditions related to negative performance in the performance-based awards, forfeiture, or the malus provisions in all deferred awards. The final value of an award will only be determined at settlement.

> Refer to "Note 30 – Employee deferred compensation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

The following table provides a comparison of the outstanding deferred compensation awards at the end of 2021 and 2022, indicating the value of changes due to ex post implicit and ex post explicit adjustments. For 2022, the change in value for the outstanding deferred compensation awards was mainly due to implicit adjustments driven primarily by changes in the Group share price, foreign exchange rate movements and changes in the value of CCA. With respect to the explicit adjustments on the value of performance share awards, a negative adjustment of CHF 55 million (based on the share price of CHF 2.76 as at December 31, 2022) was applied resulting from the negative Group ROE and the divisional loss before taxes in the Investment Bank division, with the remaining explicit adjustment related to forfeitures and application of malus provisions.

**Transformation Award for 2023-2025**

In February 2023, the Group granted Transformation Awards, in the form of deferred cash and share-based awards, with a total award value at grant of CHF 350 million (fair value at grant of CHF 230.3 million) to employees identified as being critical to the delivery of the transformation strategy. Of the total award value at grant, CHF 70 million relates to the Executive Board and is subject to approval at the AGM 2023. The Transformation Awards are designed to incentivize and reward key contributors for the successful delivery of the Group's transformation strategy and sustainable value creation for shareholders. For employees other than the Executive Board, the Transformation Award was granted in the form of both a deferred cash award and a deferred share award subject to performance conditions. For Executive Board members, the Transformation Award, subject to shareholder approval, will be granted 100% as deferred share-based awards with performance conditions.

The cash component of the Transformation Award vests over two years with one half of the cash awards vesting on each of the second anniversaries of the grant date (ratable vesting), with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime.

The deferred share award component of the Transformation Award is scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, only if the share price is at CHF 3.82 or higher on December 31, 2025. Further, no portion of the deferred share award would vest if the following threshold performance levels are not achieved:

■ The Group's reported Group RoTE is at or above 5%; and

■ The Group's cost base does not exceed CHF 15 billion.

The Compensation Committee will ensure that the final Transformation Award vesting outcome is aligned with underlying performance, including consideration of risk and control factors.

> Refer to "Compensation at a glance" for further information.

**Other awards granted in 2023**

In the first quarter of 2023, the Group granted additional compensation awards to certain employees where attrition remains a concern. Share-based awards of CHF 38 million and deferred cash allowance plan awards of CHF 30 million were granted to key employees. These awards vest over three years.

Supplemental cash allowance awards of CHF 114 million were granted, predominantly to employees with the corporate title of Vice President and below to maintain a market competitive level of total compensation. These cash allowances will vest and are scheduled to be paid during 2023.

**Equity award in the event of CS First Boston initial public offering**

In order to incentivize and retain the leadership of CS First Boston, a group of senior leaders is expected to be provided with an equity award to participate in the value of CS First Boston in the event of an IPO. The award is contingent on a successful IPO, and would result in employees being awarded restricted share units in CS First Boston post-IPO. These awards would vest three years post-IPO and be subject to a further holding requirement. A pool for these awards has been determined and is expected to represent up to a maximum of 20% of the shares in CS First Boston for selected existing senior leaders and future senior hires. Any awards granted will be determined by the Group on an entirely discretionary and individualized basis. The maximum value for any employee participating in the plan is capped. Full details of these awards will be provided in the IPO prospectus, if applicable.

Board of Directors compensation

**Compensation outcomes for 2022**

![p20f](x05_0034.gif)

For the period from the 2022 AGM to the 2023 AGM, aggregate compensation to the Board of CHF 10.4 million consisted of CHF 9.5 million related to Group Board memberships and CHF 0.9 million of fees paid to certain Board members for subsidiary board memberships. This compares with the amount of CHF 13.0 million approved prospectively Board by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. The total Board compensation is 10% lower than the prior period, driven by the waiver of the Chairman's chair fee.

While the base Board fee of CHF 250,000 remained consistent with prior years, there were several changes to the Board committee and other fee amounts for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period. These changes consist of the introduction of an annual fee for the Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director, as well as Board committee membership fees for the new Digital Transformation and Technology Committee and the Sustainability Advisory Committee (previously only a chair fee was paid). For an overview of the Board membership fees for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period, refer to the "Compensation framework, policy and governance" section of this report.

For the 2023 AGM to 2024 AGM period, the base Board and committee membership fees are expected to remain unchanged, with the exception of the Governance and Nominations Committee. Due to the increased number of meetings and active role of the Governance and Nominations Committee in overseeing aspects of the Group's transformation, the Board has approved an increase the membership fee for the Governance and Nominations committee from CHF 50,000 to CHF 100,000.

> Refer to IV – Corporate Governance – Board of Directors for further information on the number of meetings and activities.

**Compensation of the Chairman**

The Chairman's total compensation for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period consisted of a base fee of CHF 3.0 million payable in cash. Given the poor financial performance in 2022 and challenging situation for the firm at the beginning of the three-year transformation, the Chairman proposed to voluntarily waive his chair fee of CHF 1.5 million for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period, and this proposal was accepted by the Board. Following a benchmarking analysis of board chair pay at leading Swiss companies, the Chairman's total compensation will be adjusted from CHF 4.5 million to CHF 3.8 million starting from the 2023 AGM to 2024 AGM period. To enhance alignment with shareholders, the share portion of the Chairman's fees will be increased from the current 33% to 50%, such that his total compensation will be payable 50% in cash (base fee) and 50% in shares (chair fee), generally blocked for a period of four years. Furthermore, a new minimum shareholding requirement of 500,000 shares has been introduced for the Chairman, in line with the minimum shareholding requirement applicable to Executive Board members. The role of the Chairman is a full-time appointment, and he may also receive benefits from, and make contributions to, the Group pension fund in line with local market practice for the Group. The total compensation paid to the Chairman reflects his full-time status and active role in shaping the Group's strategy, governing the Group's affairs, engaging, and maintaining a close working relationship with the CEO and senior management, and providing supervision, counsel and support, where appropriate. The Chairman coordinates the Board's activities, works with the committee chairs to coordinate the tasks of the committees, and ensures that Board members are provided with sufficient information to perform their duties. The Chairman drives the Board agenda on key topics such as the strategic development of the Group, corporate culture, succession planning and the structure and organization of the Group. He chairs the Board, the Governance and Nominations Committee and the shareholders' meetings. He takes an active role in representing the Group to regulators and supervisors, key shareholders, proxy advisers, investors, government officials and other external stakeholders.

**Compensation of the Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director**

The Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director received a fee of CHF 125,000 for this role for the 2022 AGM to 2023 AGM period. This fee is payable 50% in cash and 50% in Group shares, generally blocked for a period of four years. The Vice Chair and Lead Independent Director leads the annual Board assessment of the Chairman, chairs Board meetings in the event the Chairman is not able to for any reason, interviews potential new Board member candidates, and may meet with investors or other external stakeholders independently from the Chairman.

**Compensation of the committee chairs** 

Committee chair fees are paid for the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Risk Committee, the Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee, the Digital Transformation and Technology Committee and the Sustainability Advisory Committee. These fees are fixed in advance and are not linked to the Group's financial performance. In addition to the greater time commitment required to prepare and lead the committee work, the chair fees reflect the engagement of the committee chairs throughout the year as required with regulators, shareholders, the business divisions and corporate functions and other stakeholders. Regulatory developments in the banking industry in recent years have put increasing demands on the Risk and Audit Committee Chairs, in particular, increasing the frequency of interaction with the Group's main regulators on internal control, risk, capital and other matters under the supervision of these committees. Similarly, there has been a continued focus of shareholders and regulators on compensation and therefore high levels of engagement between the Compensation Committee Chair and key shareholders and proxy advisers, as well as with regulators. The Compensation Committee held 12 meetings, and the Compensation Committee Chair personally attended 28 separate meetings with key shareholders and proxy advisers during 2022. The Audit Committee Chair fee takes into consideration the greater number of meetings required of the Audit Committee for the review and approval of the quarterly financial results and related filings, the Audit Committee Chair's supervisory role over the Internal Audit function, and the lead role of the Audit Committee Chair for overseeing investigations into whistleblowing and other escalated matters. The Audit Committee held 24 meetings during 2022. The Risk Committee Chair fee reflects the regular interaction required between the Risk Committee Chair and the Group Chief Risk Officer and other senior managers in the risk management function, as well as the oversight role over the Credit Risk Review function, which reports directly to the Risk Committee Chair. The Risk Committee held 13 meetings during 2022, and in addition, the Risk Committee Chair held numerous meetings with regulators and other stakeholders. The Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee held six meetings during 2022, plus one meeting of the entire committee with FINMA.

**Compensation of Board members serving on subsidiary boards**

Several Board members also serve as non-executive members on the boards of Group subsidiary companies. This practice is consistent with the Group's legal entity governance principles, which aim to foster a close alignment of the Group's governance practices and those of its significant subsidiary companies.

> Refer to the "Governance of Group subsidiaries" and "Biographies of the Board members" in IV – Corporate Governance – Board of Directors for further information.

With the exception of the Chairman, Board members may receive separate fees paid in cash for serving on subsidiary boards, in addition to their Board fees. These fees are approved by the respective subsidiary boards and are subject to ratification by the Board. All subsidiary board fees are included in the total amount of compensation of the members of the Board proposed for approval by shareholders at every AGM. The Chairman does not receive separate fees for board memberships in other Group companies, as these memberships are included as part of the Chairman's compensation.

Board members appointed to serve on subsidiary boards receive a flat subsidiary board membership fee of CHF 100,000 (or higher amounts if a Board member serves as the chair of the subsidiary board or a committee). This amount is generally less than that received by other non-executive subsidiary board members, given that Board members are already familiar with the Group's entities and activities. Serving on a subsidiary board is nevertheless a significant additional commitment for these Board members, reflected, for example, in the number of subsidiary board meetings held throughout the year as shown in the following table.

Supplementary information

**Executive Board** 

**Former Executive Board members (audited)** 

For 2022, no compensation payments were made to former Executive Board members who left Credit Suisse, which was also the case for 2021. Further, no payments were made to former Executive Board members pursuant to non-compete arrangements.

**Utilization of Executive Board compensation approved at the 2022 AGM** 

At the 2022 AGM, shareholders approved a maximum aggregate amount of fixed compensation to be paid to members of the Executive Board for the period from the 2022 AGM to the 2023 AGM of CHF 34.0 million. Of this amount, 3.0 million was anticipated for two potential new roles on the Executive Board. Fixed compensation includes base salaries, role-based allowances, dividend equivalents, pension and other benefits as well as replacement awards granted to new Executive Board members during this period. In line with the AoA, if new members join the Executive Board or members of the Executive Board are promoted during the period for which compensation has already been approved by shareholders, a further 30% of the aggregate amounts already approved may be used for the compensation of such members, which amounted to CHF 10.2 million in addition to the approved CHF 34.0 million amount.

At the 2022 AGM, shareholders also approved an aggregate amount of CHF 12.1 million for share-based replacement awards for new Executive Board members who joined the Executive Board in 2022. This amount was used for such awards granted or to be granted to the new Executive Board members who joined in 2022.

**2020 Long-term incentive awards (LTI awards) (2020-2022 performance period)**

As disclosed in the 2019 Compensation Report, the performance of the 2020 LTI awards is based on RoTE, adjusted tangible book value per share (TBVPS) and RTSR each weighted equally and measured over the three-year period from the beginning of 2020 until the end of 2022. The 2020 LTI awards had an initial aggregate maximum opportunity of CHF 53.75 million approved at the 2020 AGM, and the number of shares granted was calculated by dividing the maximum opportunity by the Group share price at the time of grant. The share price utilized was based on the same methodology used for share-based awards granted to Group employees. At the end of the 2020-2022 performance period, performance had fallen short of the threshold levels for each metric, resulting in zero vesting. As an exception, for the former CFO who was classified as a UK PRA MRT and therefore had 40% of his LTI based on a non-financial assessment. As a result, Mr. Mathers' 2020 LTI was assessed at 7% of his maximum opportunity based on the share price at the end of 2022.

**Cash settlement of share awards**

The Executive Board members are permitted to elect, subject to minimum shareholding requirements, at a predefined date in advance of settlement, to receive their vested share-based awards in the form of shares, cash or 50% in the form of shares and 50% in cash, in each case based on the Group share price at the time of settlement. An election to receive cash is subject to reversal if at the time of settlement, the Group share price is less than 75% of the share price at the time of election. The timing and pricing of settlement will be the same as under the previous award plan and the plans of those below the Executive Board level.

**Contract lengths, termination and change in control provisions** 

All members of the Executive Board have employment contracts with the Group that are valid until terminated. The standard notice period for termination of employment by either the Group or the respective Executive Board member is six months. Executive Board members may be subject to a non-compete period of up to 12 months and may be compensated for this period by mutual agreement. In the event of termination, there are no contractual provisions that allow for the payment of severance awards to Executive Board members beyond the regular compensation awarded during the notice period. Pre-defined conditions for all employees, including Executive Board members, apply for the payment of outstanding deferred compensation awards, depending on whether the termination of employment was voluntary, involuntary, by mutual agreement or as the result of a change in control. In case of a termination for cause, any deferred compensation and outstanding awards will be forfeited. There are no other contracts, agreements, or arrangements with the members of the Executive Board that provide for other types of payments or benefits in connection with termination of employment that are not generally available to other employees of the Group.

In the case of a change in control, the treatment of outstanding awards for all employees, including Executive Board members, will be determined by the Board upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee with the aim of maximizing shareholder value, subject to circumstances and prevailing market conditions. There are no provisions in the employment contracts of Executive Board members or any other pre-determined arrangements that require the payment of any type of extraordinary benefits, including special severance awards or transaction premia, in the case of a change in control.

**Other outstanding awards** 

As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding cash-based deferred compensation awards granted to certain Executive Board members in prior years comprised contingent capital awards, deferred cash awards and deferred short-term incentive cash awards (STI cash awards). The cumulative value of such cash-based awards at year-end was CHF 5 million. These amounts include the cash value of dividend equivalents related to unvested share awards at their respective grant dates and at December 31, 2022.

**Minimum shareholding requirements** 

For 2022, the shareholding requirements were increased to provide greater alignment with shareholder interests. Given that the majority of the Executive Board members joined the Executive Board during 2022, only two of the eleven members fulfilled the minimum shareholding requirements as of December 31, 2022. This requirement is measured against the number of shares owned plus the number of unvested shares. The CEO and other Executive Board members are not permitted to sell shares until they have met the minimum shareholding requirements, except as necessary to fulfill taxation obligations on the respective shares awarded.

**Executive Board loans (audited)** 

The majority of loans outstanding to Executive Board members are mortgages or loans against securities. Such loans are made on the same terms available to employees under the Group's employee benefit plans. Pursuant to the AoA, each Executive Board member may be granted individual credit facilities or loans up to a maximum of CHF 20 million. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, outstanding loans to Executive Board members amounted to CHF 6 million, CHF 18 million and CHF 13 million, respectively. The number of individuals with outstanding loans at the beginning and the end of 2022 was eight and four, respectively, and the highest loan outstanding was CHF 4 million to Mr. Körner.

All mortgage loans to Executive Board members are granted either with variable or fixed interest rates over a certain period. Typically, mortgages are granted for periods of up to ten years. Interest rates applied are based on refinancing costs plus a margin, and interest rates and other terms are consistent with those applicable to other employees. Loans against securities are granted at interest rates and on terms applicable to such loans granted to other employees. The same credit approval and risk assessment procedures apply to Executive Board members as for other employees. Unless otherwise noted, all loans to Executive Board members were made in the ordinary course of business and substantially on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and in consideration of the terms which apply to all Group employees. These loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

**Impact of share-based compensation on shareholders' equity**

In general, the income statement expense recognition of share-based awards on a pre-tax basis has a neutral impact on shareholders' equity because the reduction to shareholders' equity from the expense recognition is offset by the obligation to deliver shares, which is recognized as an increase to equity by a corresponding amount. Shareholders' equity includes, as additional paid-in capital, the tax benefits associated with the expensing and subsequent settlement of share-based awards.

Since 2017, the Group has been fulfilling its share delivery obligations by purchasing shares in the market. The Group maintained this practice during 2022. Following the 2021 Share Repurchase Program, the Board has decided not to cancel the 25,087,000 shares repurchased under the share buyback program by way of a capital reduction, and the intention is to use these shares exclusively for servicing employee share award plans. Otherwise, the Group will continue covering future share delivery obligations through market purchases.

**Share-based awards outstanding**

At the end of 2022, there were 253.9 million share-based awards outstanding, including 147.4 million share awards, 44.6 million performance share awards and 61.9 million SDP share awards.

> Refer to "Note 30 – Employee deferred compensation" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information.

**Subsequent activity**

In early 2023, the Group granted approximately 108.9 million new share awards with respect to performance in 2022.

In the first half of 2023, the Group plans to settle 63.8 million deferred awards from prior years, including 47.4 million share awards and 16.5 million performance share awards. The Group will continue to meet this delivery obligation through market purchases.

> Refer to "Share purchases" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management for more information.

**Potential negative adjustments of legacy performance share awards** 

Performance share awards will no longer be used as a form of deferred compensation award for the 2022 performance year onwards. Outstanding performance share awards granted for prior years are subject to downward adjustments in the event of a divisional loss or a negative ROE of the Group, whichever results in a larger adjustment. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to exclude extraordinary items from the calculation of divisional losses or Group ROE as it deems appropriate. If the Group reports a negative ROE, the number of outstanding awards is reduced by the same percentage as the negative ROE. The amount of negative adjustment applied in the event of divisional loss is shown in the table below.

**Negative adjustment if division incurs a loss**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Division loss before taxes<br>(in CHF billion) | Negative adjustment on<br>award balance (in %) |
| 1.00 | 15 |
| 2.00 | 30 |
| 3.00 | 45 |

> Refer to the "Compensation outcomes for 2022" in Group Compensation for further information.

**Competitive benchmarking**

The assessment of the economic and competitive environment is an important element of the compensation process as the Group strives for market-informed, competitive compensation levels. Internal expertise and the services of compensation consulting firms are used to benchmark compensation levels against relevant peers, taking into account geographical variations. The Compensation Committee is provided with regular reports from an independent compensation adviser on industry and market trends, including competitor performance and pay trends. The core group considered for the purposes of Group peer benchmarking are Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and UBS. Specific benchmarking may include other peers, depending on the business area or geographic location, as appropriate.

The defined RTSR peer group used in the assessment of Executive Board performance includes Banco Santander, Bank of America, Barclays, BBVA, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, ING Group, Intesa Sanpaolo, JPMorgan Chase, Julius Bär, Morgan Stanley, Nordea Bank, NatWest Group, Société Générale, Standard Chartered and UBS, companies chosen based on similarities in geographical coverage and scope of businesses.

For consideration of European and local practices, the Compensation Committee also references a cross-industry peer group of multinational companies headquartered in Europe selected on the basis of comparability to Credit Suisse in size, scale, global scope of operations and economic influence. In addition to the companies already listed previously and those included as part of the RTSR peer group, peers considered for Executive Board compensation include: ABN AMRO Bank, CaixaBank, Commerzbank, Credit Agricole, Danske Bank, KBC Group, Lloyds Banking Group, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB and UniCredit.

**Focus on risk and control**

Risk and control considerations are an integral part of the performance assessment and compensation processes. This ensures that the Group's approach to compensation includes a focus on risk and internal control matters and discourages excessive risk taking. Senior management from the Group's corporate functions, including Risk, Compliance, General Counsel, People, Internal Audit and Product Control, provide the Compensation Committee with comprehensive feedback on regulatory, audit, disciplinary and risk-related issues, or trends across the Group, relevant to the assessment of the Group's risk and control culture. Divisions are assessed against risk and conduct measures for the year, and the consolidated findings are presented to the Compensation Committee and the CEO. Based on these assessments, the Compensation Committee considers and approves adjustments to the divisional pool levels.

As approved by the Compensation Committee, Conduct Boards (CBs) have been established at the Group level, for the control functions overall, as well as within each business division. The CBs review disciplinary events and decide on disciplinary sanctions proposed by the recommendation teams, which include representatives from the control functions. As regards to the financial consequences of a disciplinary sanction, the Compensation Committee approves the application of malus for all Managing Directors reporting to an Executive Board member. The Group Conduct Board (GCB) meets regularly to ensure that sanctions applied are in line with the Group's risk appetite, market practice and regulatory requirements.

Implemented in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Significant Events process is a formal and systematic event-driven approach for categorizing the most serious risk matters to ensure that a review of all employees in proximity is undertaken, including those accountable for the Significant Event. This process is incremental to the existing performance management and disciplinary processes, which continue to exist in parallel.

A Significant Event is defined as an event that results from an insufficient control, control failure or absence of control, or misconduct by employees, and the event meets one of the following criteria:

■ Had a significant financial impact (direct loss, provision or restatement) on CS Group of > CHF 50 million;

■ Had a significant impact on the reputation of CS Group, or any of its subsidiaries, or is very likely to have such an impact when information becomes public; or

■ Had a significant negative impact on the relationship of the Group, or any of its subsidiaries, with regulators (e.g., subjected to a significant investigation or other regulatory action) or with other key stakeholders (e.g., shareholders and other investors, as well as on outcomes for clients of Credit Suisse).

When an incident meets the Group-wide Significant Event criteria, the GCB approves the event for investigation under the Significant Events process. This is then confirmed by the Board Risk Committee. Group Reward (within the People function) have authority to suspend variable compensation payments to employees identified as being proximate to the event, pending completion of the investigation. The GCB reviews and approves proximity findings and compensation adjustment for all employees below Executive Board level. The Compensation Committee or Advisory Remuneration Committee, as applicable, have oversight over the GCB's decisions. Adjustments may be made to variable compensation (related to the current performance year) or to prior year variable compensation by applying malus/clawback provisions.

**Malus and clawback provisions** 

All deferred compensation awards granted contain malus provisions that enable the Group to reduce or cancel the awards prior to settlement if the participant engages in certain defined conduct. All variable incentive compensation granted to UK PRA MRTs and employees regulated by the Bank of Italy are subject to clawback. Other EU-regulated employees are also subject to clawback provisions as required by applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Malus and clawback provisions were enforced during 2022.

**Covered Employees (including Material Risk Takers and Controllers)**

Covered employees are subject to a heightened level of scrutiny over the alignment of their compensation with performance and risk considerations.

**Board loans**

The majority of loans outstanding to members of the Board are mortgages or loans against securities. Such loans are made to Board members on the same terms available to third-party clients. Pursuant to the AoA, each member of the Board may be granted individual credit facilities or loans up to a maximum of CHF 20 million at market conditions. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, outstanding loans to Board members amounted to CHF 4 million, CHF 7 million and CHF 4 million, respectively.

Board members with loans do not benefit from employee conditions, but are subject to conditions applied to clients with a comparable credit standing. Unless otherwise noted, all loans to Board members are made in the ordinary course of business and substantially on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Such loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. In addition to the loans listed below, the Group or any of its banking subsidiaries may enter into financing and other banking agreements with companies in which current Board members have a significant influence as defined by the SEC. Examples include holding executive and/or board level roles in these companies. Unless otherwise noted, loans extended by the Group to such companies are also made in the ordinary course of business and at prevailing market conditions. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there was no loan exposure to such related party companies that was not made in the ordinary course of business and at prevailing market conditions.

Controls and procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Group has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), pursuant to Rule 13(a)-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Group identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and, consequently, December 31, 2022, which are described below. As a result of these material weaknesses, the Group CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Group's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, the Group confirms that its consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Group's consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with US GAAP, as reflected in PricewaterhouseCoopers AG's (PwC) report on those financial statements.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting

The management of the Group is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Group's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has made an evaluation and assessment of the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)". Based upon its review and evaluation, management, including the Group CEO and CFO, has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Group's internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the material weaknesses described below. For the same reasons, management has also reassessed its conclusion as to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, and concluded that internal control over financial reporting was also not effective as of such date.

Management did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements and did not design and maintain effective monitoring activities relating to (i) providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the company's internal control objectives; (ii) involving appropriate and sufficient management resources to support the risk assessment and monitoring objectives; and (iii) assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. These material weaknesses contributed to an additional material weakness, as management did not design and maintain effective controls over the classification and presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Specifically, certain control activities over the completeness and the classification and presentation of non-cash items in the consolidated statement of cash flows were not performed on a timely basis or at the appropriate level of precision. This material weakness resulted in the revisions contained in our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2021 as disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in further misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

PwC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in this annual report, has issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

Remediation plans

Management and the Group Audit Committee have worked continuously in recent years to improve the control environment surrounding financial reporting with increased investment and additional resources. Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible. Management is developing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses referred to above, including strengthening the risk and control frameworks, and which will build on the significant attention that management has devoted to controls to date. Additionally, we will implement robust controls to ensure that all non-cash items are classified appropriately within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Group's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Group's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich, Switzerland, PCAOB ID 1358

![Audit_20F_Group](x06_0001.gif)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and shareholders of Credit Suisse Group AG Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse Group AG and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Group did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) the effectiveness of the risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in the Group's financial statements, (ii) the effectiveness of monitoring activities relating to providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the Group's internal control objectives, involving appropriate and sufficient management resources to support the risk assessment and monitoring objectives and assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action and (iii) the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and the classification and presentation of non-cash items in the consolidated statements of cash flows. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in the accompanying Management's report on internal control over financial reporting. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Group's management and we previously concluded that the Group maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. However, the Group's management and we have subsequently determined that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed and accordingly concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of such date. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 2 and Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group changed the manner in which it accounts for credit losses on certain financial instruments in 2020. Basis for Opinions The Group's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Group's consolidated financial statements and on the Group's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Fair Value of Certain Level 3 Financial Instruments As described in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group carried CHF 9,312 million of its assets and CHF 9,496 million of its liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022. For these financial instruments, for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs, the determination of fair value may require the use of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models, as well as subjective assessment and judgment, depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used by management to determine the fair value of certain of these level 3 financial instruments included (i) correlation, (ii) market implied life expectancy, in years, (iii) UK mortality, (iv) price, (v) volatility, and (vi) credit spread. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value of certain level 3 financial instruments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining the fair value of these financial instruments, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the fair value of these financial instruments, and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the fair value of financial instruments, including controls over the Group's models, inputs, and data. These procedures also included, among others, for a sample of financial instruments, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in (i) developing an independent estimate of fair value or (ii) testing management's process to determine the fair value of these financial instruments. Developing an independent estimate involved (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management, (ii) evaluating and utilizing management's significant unobservable inputs or developing independent significant unobservable inputs, and (iii) comparing management's estimate to the independently developed estimate of fair value. Testing management's process to determine the fair value involved (i) evaluating the reasonableness of management's significant unobservable inputs, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the techniques used, and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used by management to determine the fair value of these instruments. Allowance for Credit Losses on Certain Collectively Evaluated Corporate and Institutional Loans As described in Notes 1 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group's allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated corporate and institutional loans was CHF 432 million on corporate and institutional loans held at amortized cost of CHF 107,433 million as of December 31, 2022. The credit loss amounts were based on a forward-looking, lifetime current expected credit losses ("CECL") model by incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions available at the reporting date. Expected credit losses were not solely derived from projections of macroeconomic factors. Model overlays based on expert judgment were also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews, and were primarily impacting certain corporate and institutional loans portfolios. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for credit losses on certain collectively evaluated corporate and institutional loans is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in evaluating model results and assessing the need for overlays to the CECL model output, (ii) the significant judgment and estimation by management in determining an appropriate methodology for the overlays applied, which both in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence obtained relating to the model results and the appropriateness of overlays to the CECL model output, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's expected credit loss process, including controls over the Group's models, data, and overlays. The procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for estimating expected credit losses, which included (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the model methodologies used to determine the allowance for credit losses, (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used in the estimate, and (iii) for a sample, evaluating the reasonableness of management's model overlays. The procedures included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of model methodologies and assist in evaluating the audit evidence. Litigation provisions As described in Note 40 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Group's aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2022, the Group has recorded litigation provisions of CHF 1,172 million. Management's estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for which management believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF 1.2 billion. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the litigation provisions is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or ranges of loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in evaluating management's assessment of the litigation provisions and related disclosures. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's estimation of the litigation provisions, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, as well as controls over the related financial statement disclosures. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, targeted inquiries with external counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management's assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Group's litigation provisions and related disclosures. Goodwill Impairment Assessment of the Asset Management and Wealth Management Reporting Units As described in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group's goodwill balance was CHF 2,903 million as of December 31, 2022, which is allocated to the Group's reporting units, and for which CHF 1,111 million was allocated to the Asset Management reporting unit and CHF 1,304 million was allocated to the Wealth Management reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, management applied a combination of the market approach and the income approach. In determining the estimated fair value, management relied upon its latest five-year financial plan which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on their view of current and future economic conditions and significant assumptions regarding the discount rate under the income approach as well as price to projected earnings and price to book value multiples ("multiples") under the market approach. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions, specifically the five-year financial plan, discount rate and multiples, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units and (ii) developing an independent estimate of fair value for these reporting units. Testing management's process involved (i) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, specifically the five-year financial plan, discount rate and multiples, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the methods used, and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in management's model. Developing an independent estimate involved using alternative financial plans, as well as independent discount rate and multiples, and comparing management's estimate to the independently developed estimate. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the management's estimate and development of an independent estimate. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers AG Zurich, March 14, 2023 We have served as the Group's auditor since 2020.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

**Overview**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). The financial year for the Group ends on December 31. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation which had no impact on net income/(loss) or total shareholders' equity.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities, the allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of variable interest entities (VIEs), the impairment of assets other than loans, recognition of deferred tax assets, tax uncertainties, pension liabilities and various contingencies. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, actual results could differ materially from management's estimates. Market conditions may increase the risk and complexity of the judgments applied in these estimates.

**Certain accounting changes**

As noted in our 2021 Annual Report, the Group identified an accounting issue that was not material to the prior period financial statements. The Group identified this accounting issue with respect to the net balance sheet treatment relating to the presentation of a limited population of certain securities lending and borrowing activities. As a result, balance sheet and cash flow positions for both assets and liabilities relating to these activities were presented on a gross basis and prior periods were revised in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Group has presented these securities lending and borrowing transactions as a single unit of account and as a result these transactions will no longer be presented on a gross basis. The Group did not adjust prior period financial information, which continue to reflect a presentation on a gross basis.

**Principles of consolidation**

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries. The Group's subsidiaries are entities in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights or where it exercises control. The Group consolidates limited partnerships in cases where it is the general partner and the limited partners do not have either substantive kick out rights and/or substantive participating rights or is a limited partner with substantive rights to kick out the general partner or dissolve the partnership and participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of business. The Group also consolidates VIEs if the Group is the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810 – Consolidation. The effects of material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Where a Group subsidiary is determined to be an investment company as defined by ASC Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies, interests in other entities held by this Group subsidiary are not consolidated and are carried at fair value.

Group entities that qualify as broker-dealer entities as defined by ASC Topic 940 – Financial Services – Brokers and Dealers do not consolidate investments in voting interest entities that would otherwise qualify for consolidation when the investment is held on a temporary basis for trading purposes. In addition, subsidiaries that are strategic components of a broker-dealer's operations are consolidated regardless of holding intent.

**Foreign currency translation** 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related entity are recorded by remeasuring them in the functional currency of the related entity using the foreign exchange (FX) rate on the date of the transaction. As of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets, monetary assets and liabilities are reported using the year-end spot foreign exchange rates. Foreign exchange rate differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded using the historic exchange rate.

For the purpose of consolidation, the assets and liabilities of Group companies with functional currencies other than the Swiss franc are translated into Swiss franc equivalents using year-end spot foreign exchange rates, whereas revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average foreign exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments arising from consolidation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (AOCI) within total shareholders' equity. Cumulative translation adjustments are released from AOCI and recorded in the consolidated statements of operations when the Group loses control of a consolidated foreign subsidiary.

**Fair value measurement and option**

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a framework for measuring fair value. The fair value option creates an alternative measurement treatment for certain financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value option can be elected at initial recognition of the eligible item or at the date when the Group enters into an agreement which gives rise to an eligible item (e.g., a firm commitment or a written loan commitment). If not elected at

initial recognition, the fair value option can be applied to an item upon certain triggering events that give rise to a new basis of accounting for that item. The application of the fair value option to a financial asset or a financial liability does not change its classification on the balance sheet and the election is irrevocable. Changes in fair value resulting from the election are recorded in trading revenues.

> Refer to "Fair value option" in Note 36 – Financial instruments for further information.

**Cash and due from banks**

Cash and due from banks consists of currency on hand, demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less, which are held for cash management purposes. Restricted cash is any cash or cash equivalent recorded in cash and due from banks subject to restrictions imposed by a governmental or other regulatory agency that require the Group to set aside specified amounts of cash as reserves against transactions and time deposits.

**Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements** 

Purchases of securities under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements) and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) do not constitute economic sales; therefore, they are treated as collateralized financing transactions, which are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at the amount of cash disbursed or received, respectively. Reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as collateralized assets while repurchase agreements are recorded as liabilities. The underlying securities sold continue to be recognized in trading assets or investment securities. The fair value of securities to be repurchased and resold is monitored on a daily basis, and additional collateral is obtained as needed to protect against credit exposure.

Assets and liabilities recorded under these agreements are accounted for on one of two bases, the accrual basis or the fair value basis. Under the accrual basis, interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred on repurchase agreements are reported in interest and dividend income and interest expense, respectively. The Group elects to apply the fair value option to selected agreements pursuant to ASC Topic 825 – Financial Instruments. Under such circumstances, the change in fair value is reported in trading revenues. Accrued interest income and expense are recorded in the same manner as under the accrual method.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements may be netted if they are with the same counterparty, have the same maturity date, settle through the same qualifying clearing institution and are subject to a right of offset allowed by a legally enforceable master netting agreement or a central counterparty's clearing rules.

**Securities lending and borrowing transactions** 

Securities borrowed and securities loaned that are cash-collateralized are included in the consolidated balance sheet at amounts equal to the cash advanced or received. If securities received as collateral in a securities lending and borrowing transaction may be sold or repledged, they are recorded as securities received as collateral in the consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding liability to return the security is recorded. Securities lending transactions against non-cash collateral in which the Group has the right to resell or repledge the collateral received are recorded at the fair value of the collateral initially received. For securities lending transactions, the Group receives cash or securities collateral in an amount generally in excess of the market value of securities lent. The Group monitors the fair value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained as necessary.

Securities lending and borrowing fees and interest received or paid are recorded in interest and dividend income and interest expense, respectively, on an accrual basis. If the fair value basis of accounting is elected, any resulting change in fair value is reported in trading revenues. Accrued interest income and expense are recorded in the same manner as under the accrual method.

**Transfers of financial assets**

Transfers of financial assets may involve the sale of these assets to special purpose entities (SPEs), which in turn issue securities to investors. The Group values its beneficial interests in such SPEs at fair value using quoted market prices, if such positions are traded on an active exchange, or financial models that incorporate observable and unobservable inputs, if such positions are not traded on an active exchange.

> Refer to "Note 35 – Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities" for further information on the Group's transfer activities.

**Trading assets and liabilities**

Trading assets and liabilities include debt securities, marketable equity instruments, derivative instruments, certain loans held in broker-dealer entities, commodities and precious metals. Items included in the trading portfolio are carried at fair value. Regular-way security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on trading positions are recorded in trading revenues.

**Derivatives**

Freestanding derivative contracts are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets regardless of whether these instruments are held for trading or risk management purposes. Commitments to originate mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivatives for accounting purposes. When derivative features embedded in certain contracts that meet the definition of a derivative are not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract, either the embedded feature is accounted

for separately at fair value or the entire contract, including the embedded feature, is accounted for at fair value. In both cases, changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. If separated for measurement purposes, the derivative is recorded in the same line item in the consolidated balance sheets as the host contract.

Derivatives classified as trading assets and liabilities include those held for trading purposes and those used for risk management purposes that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives held for trading purposes arise from proprietary trading activity and from customer-based activity. Realized gains and losses, changes in unrealized gains and losses and interest flows are included in trading revenues. Derivative contracts designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or net investment hedges are reported as other assets or other liabilities.

The fair value of exchange-traded derivatives is typically derived from observable market prices and/or observable market parameters. Fair values for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are determined on the basis of proprietary models using various input parameters. Derivative contracts are recorded on a net basis per counterparty where a right to offset exists under an enforceable master netting agreement or a central counterparty's clearing rules. Where no such rights exist, fair values are recorded on a gross basis.

Where hedge accounting is applied, the Group formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, including the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. At inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, the hedge relationship is formally assessed to determine whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items attributable to the hedged risk. The Group discontinues hedge accounting prospectively in the following circumstances:

(i) the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions);

(ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised;

(iii) the derivative is no longer designated as a hedging instrument because it is unlikely that the forecasted transaction will occur; or

(iv) the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is otherwise no longer appropriate.

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the carrying values of the underlying hedged items are adjusted to fair value for the risk being hedged. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statements of operations used to present the changes in the fair value of the hedged item.

When the Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting because it determines that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and the hedged asset or liability will no longer be adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Interest-related fair value adjustments made to the underlying hedged items will be amortized to the consolidated statements of operations over the remaining life of the hedged item. Any unamortized interest-related fair value adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations upon sale or extinguishment of the hedged asset or liability, respectively. Any other fair value hedge adjustments remain part of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations upon disposition of the hedged item as part of the gain or loss on disposition.

For hedges of the variability of cash flows from forecasted transactions and floating rate assets or liabilities, the change in the fair value of a designated derivative is recorded in AOCI. These amounts are reclassified into the line item in the consolidated statements of operations in which the hedged item is recorded when the variable cash flow from the hedged item impacts earnings (for example, when periodic settlements on a variable rate asset or liability are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations or when the hedged item is disposed of).

When hedge accounting is discontinued on a cash flow hedge, the net gain or loss will remain in AOCI and be reclassified into the consolidated statements of operations in the same period or periods during which the formerly hedged transaction is reported in the consolidated statements of operations. When the Group discontinues hedge accounting because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur within the specified date or period plus two months, the derivative will continue to be carried in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value, and gains and losses that were previously recorded in AOCI will be recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recorded in AOCI. The Group uses the forward method of determining effectiveness for net investment hedges, which results in the time value portion of a foreign currency forward being reported in AOCI.

**Investment securities**

Investment securities include debt securities classified as held-to-maturity and debt securities classified as available-for-sale. Regular-way security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.

Debt securities where the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity are classified as such and are carried at amortized cost, net of any unamortized premium or discount. Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity require an assessment of the current expected credit loss (CECL) at the reporting date.

Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, which represent the difference between fair value and amortized cost, are recorded in AOCI. Amounts reported in AOCI are net of income taxes.

Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are impaired if there is a decline in fair value below amortized cost basis. If the Group intends to sell an impaired security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and fair value is recognized as a credit loss. However, if the Group does not intend to sell and is not likely to be required to sell, an assessment is made if a decline in fair value of the security is due to credit-related factors or non-credit related factors. Credit-related impairment is recognized in earnings by recording an allowance for credit losses. Any portion of the unrealized loss that relates to non-credit related factors is recognized in AOCI, net of income taxes.

Amortization of premiums or discounts for debt securities is recorded in interest and dividend income using the effective yield method through the maturity date of the security.

**Other investments**

Other investments include equity method investments, equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, such as hedge funds, private equity securities and certain investments in non-marketable mutual funds for which the Group has neither significant influence nor control over the investee, and real estate held-for-investment.

Equity method investments are investments for which the Group has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies. Significant influence is typically characterized by ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting stock or in-substance common stock of a corporation or 3% to 5% or more of limited partnership interests. Equity method investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option, which the Group has elected to apply for selected equity method investments. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group's proportionate share of the profit or loss, and any impairment on the investee, if applicable, is reported in other revenues. Under the fair value option, changes in fair value are reported in other revenues.

Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value, net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value or at cost less impairment, adjusted for observable price changes (measurement alternative). Memberships in exchanges are reported at cost, less impairment. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value held by the Group's subsidiaries that are determined to be investment companies as defined by ASC Topic 946 – Financial Services – Investment Companies are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other revenues.

Equity method investments and equity securities without a readily determinable fair value held by subsidiaries that are within the scope of ASC Topic 940 – Financial Services – Brokers and Dealers are measured at fair value and reported in trading assets when the intent of the broker-dealer entity is to hold the asset temporarily for trading purposes. Changes in fair value are reported in trading revenues. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value include investments in entities that regularly calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent, with changes in fair value recorded in other revenue.

**Loans**

**Loans held at amortized cost**

Loans which the Group intends to hold until maturity are carried at outstanding principal balances, net of the following items: unamortized premiums, discounts on purchased loans, deferred loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance and net deferred premiums/discounts and fees/costs are amortized as an adjustment to the loan yield over the term of the related loans.

A loan is classified as non-performing and thus considered credit impaired no later than when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are more than 90 days past due except for subprime residential loans which are classified as non-performing no later than when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are more than 120 days past due. The additional 30 days ensure that these loans are not incorrectly assessed as non-performing during the time when servicing of them typically is being transferred. However, management may determine that a loan should be classified as non-performing notwithstanding that contractual payments of principal and/or interest are less than 90 days past due or, in the case of subprime residential loans, 120 days past due. In addition, the Group continues to add accrued interest receivable to the loan's balance for collection purposes; however, a credit provision is recorded, resulting in no interest income recognition.

A loan can be further downgraded to non-interest-earning when the collection of interest is considered so doubtful that further accrual of interest is deemed inappropriate.

Generally, non-performing loans and non-interest-earning loans may be restored to performing status only when delinquent principal and interest are brought up to date in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and when certain performance criteria are met.

Interest collected on non-performing loans and non-interest-earning loans is accounted for using the cash basis or the cost recovery method or a combination of both.

Amortization of deferred fees and premiums and discounts ceases while a loan is deemed to be non-performing or non-interest-earning.

Loans that are modified in a troubled debt restructuring are reported as restructured loans. Generally, a restructured loan would have been considered credit-impaired prior to the restructuring. Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are no longer considered credit-impaired in the years following the restructuring if the restructured loan carries an interest rate that is equal to or greater than the rate the Group was willing to accept at the time

of the restructuring for a loan with comparable risk and the loan is not credit-impaired based on the terms specified by the restructuring agreement. For loans that have been restructured in a troubled debt restructuring, the applicable loan accounting depends on the loan classification. Loan restructurings may include the receipt of assets in satisfaction of the loan, the modification of loan terms (e.g., reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new loans with similar risk, or reduction in principal amounts and/or accrued interest balances) or a combination of both.

Potential problem loans are credit-impaired loans where contractual payments have been received according to schedule, but where doubt exists as to the collection of future contractual payments. Potential problem loans continue to accrue interest.

> Refer to "Note 19 – Loans" for further information.

**Credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost**

The credit loss requirements apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost including loans held at amortized cost, net investments in leases as a lessor as well as off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as irrevocable loan commitments, and credit guarantees. The credit loss amounts are based on a forward-looking, lifetime CECL model by incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions available at the reporting date. The CECL amounts are estimated over the contractual term of the financial assets taking into account the effect of prepayments. This requires considerable judgment over how changes in macroeconomic factors as well as changes in forward-looking borrower-specific characteristics will affect the CECL amounts.

The Group measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For financial assets that do not share similar risk characteristics, expected credit losses are evaluated on an individual basis. CECL amounts are probability-weighted estimates of potential credit losses based on historical frequency, current trends and conditions as well as forecasted macroeconomic factors, such as gross domestic product, unemployment rates and interest rates.

For financial assets that are performing at the reporting date, the allowance for credit losses is generally measured using a probability of default/loss given default approach under which both probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) are estimated. For financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Group generally applies a discounted cash flow approach to determine the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

An allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in provision for credit losses or, if related to provisions on past due interest, in net interest income.

For undrawn irrevocable loan commitments, the present value is calculated based on the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Group if the commitment is drawn and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, in order to estimate the provision for expected credit losses. For credit guarantees, expected credit losses are recognized for the contingency of the credit guarantee. Provisions for off-balance sheet credit exposures are recognized as a provision in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Write-off of a financial asset occurs when it is considered certain that there is no possibility of recovering the outstanding principal. If the amount of loss on write-off is greater than the accumulated allowance for credit losses, the difference results in an additional credit loss. The additional credit loss is first recognized as an addition to the allowance; the allowance is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any repossessed collateral is initially measured at fair value. The subsequent measurement depends on the nature of the collateral. Any uncollectible accrued interest receivable is written off by reversing the related interest income.

Expected recoveries on financial assets previously written off or assessed/planned to be written off have to be reflected in the allowance for credit losses; for this purpose, the amount of expected recoveries cannot exceed the aggregate amounts previously written off or assessed/planned to be written off. Accordingly, expected recoveries from financial assets previously written off may result in an overall negative allowance for credit loss balance.

Prior to January 2020, the allowance for credit losses reflected probable incurred credit losses.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" for further information.

**Loans held-for-sale**

Loans which the Group intends to sell in the foreseeable future are considered held-for-sale and are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value determined on either an individual method basis, or in the aggregate for pools of similar loans if sold or securitized as a pool. Loans held-for-sale are included in other assets. Adjustments to the lower of amortized cost basis or fair value are presented as a valuation allowance and recorded in other revenue.

**Purchased loans with credit deterioration**

A purchased loan measured at amortized cost is considered a purchased loan with credit deterioration if it has experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. At the date of acquisition, the allowance for credit is added to the purchase price of the loan to establish the initial amortized cost basis. Any difference between the amortized cost and the unpaid principal amount is recognized in interest income using the effective interest method. After the purchase date, the allowance for credit losses is adjusted for subsequent changes in estimates of current expected credit losses.

**Loans held at fair value under the fair value option**

Loans and loan commitments for which the fair value option is elected are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in trading revenues. The application of the fair value option does not change the loan's classification. Loan commitments carried at fair value are recorded in other assets or other liabilities, respectively.

**Goodwill and other intangible assets**

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries or additional ownership of equity method investments. It is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquired subsidiary, over the net of the acquisition-date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the Group's reporting units for the purposes of the impairment test.

Other intangible assets may be acquired individually or as part of a group of assets assumed in a business combination. Other intangible assets include but are not limited to: patents, licenses, copyrights, trademarks, branch networks, mortgage servicing rights, customer base and deposit relationships. Acquired intangible assets are initially measured at the amount of cash disbursed or the fair value of other assets distributed. Other intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that period. Other intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2002 that are determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized; instead they are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the indefinite intangible asset may be impaired. Mortgage servicing rights are included in non-amortizing other intangible assets and are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized through earnings in the period in which they occur. Mortgage servicing rights represent the right to perform specified mortgage servicing activities on behalf of third parties. Mortgage servicing rights are either purchased from third parties or retained upon sale of acquired or originated loans.

**Income taxes**

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using currently enacted tax rates and are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Income tax expense or benefit is recorded in income tax expense/(benefit), except to the extent the tax effect relates to transactions recorded directly in total shareholders' equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to the amount that management believes will more likely than not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates in the period in which changes are approved by the relevant authority. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented on a net basis for the same tax-paying component within the same tax jurisdiction.

The Group follows the guidance in ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. The Group determines whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. Sustainable income tax positions are then measured to determine the amount of benefit eligible for recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Each such sustainable income tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

**Brokerage receivables and brokerage payables**

The Group recognizes receivables and payables from transactions in financial instruments purchased from and sold to customers, banks and broker-dealers. The Group is exposed to risk of loss resulting from the inability of counterparties to pay for or deliver financial instruments purchased or sold, in which case the Group would have to sell or purchase, respectively, these financial instruments at prevailing market prices. To the extent an exchange or clearing organization acts as counterparty to a transaction, credit risk is generally considered to be limited. The Group establishes credit limits for each customer and requires them to maintain margin collateral in compliance with applicable regulatory and internal guidelines. In order to conduct trades with an exchange or a third-party bank, the Group is required to maintain a margin. This is usually in the form of cash and deposited in a separate margin account with the exchange or broker. Brokerage receivables are assessed for impairment applying the CECL model. Write-offs of brokerage receivables occur if the outstanding amounts are considered uncollectible.

**Premises and equipment**

Premises and equipment (including equipment under operating leases where the Group is the lessor), with the exception of land, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally 40 to 67 years, and building improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, generally not exceeding five to ten years. Land is carried at historical cost and is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements, such as alterations and improvements to rented premises, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life, which generally does not exceed ten years. Equipment, such as computers, machinery, furnishings, vehicles and other tangible non-financial assets, is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives, generally three to ten years. Certain leasehold improvements and equipment, such as data center power generators, may have estimated useful lives greater than ten years.

The Group capitalizes costs relating to the acquisition, installation and development of software with a measurable economic benefit, but only if such costs are identifiable and can be reliably measured. The Group depreciates capitalized software costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, generally not exceeding seven years, taking into consideration the effects of obsolescence, technology, competition and other economic factors.

**Leases**

For lessee arrangements, the Group recognizes lease liabilities, which are reported as other liabilities or long-term debt, and right-of-use assets, which are reported as other assets. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are initially measured based on the lease liability, adjusted for any initial direct costs, any lease payments made prior to lease commencement and for any lease incentives.

> Refer to "Note 23 – Other assets and other liabilities", "Note 24 – Leases" and "Note 26 – Long-term debt" for further information.

Periods covered by options that permit the Group to extend or terminate a lease are only included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Group would exercise the extension option or would not exercise the termination option. Lease payments which depend on an index or a referenced rate are considered unavoidable and are included in the lease liabilities using the index or rate as of the lease commencement date. Other variable lease payments, as well as subsequent changes in an index or referenced rate, are excluded from the lease liabilities. The Group's incremental borrowing rate, which is used in determining the present value of lease payments, is derived from information available at the lease commencement date.

Operating lease costs, which include amortization and an interest component, are recognized over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Operating and variable lease costs are recognized in general and administrative expenses.

For sales-type and direct financing leases under lessor arrangements, which are classified as loans, the Group de-recognizes the underlying assets and recognizes a net investment in the lease. The net investment in the lease is calculated as the lease receivable plus the unguaranteed portion of the estimated residual value. The lease receivable is initially measured at the present value of the sum of the future lease payments receivable over the lease term and any portion of the estimated residual value at the end of the lease term that is guaranteed by either the lessee or an unrelated third party. Lease terms may include options that permit the lessee to extend or renew these leases. Such options are only included in the measurement of lease receivables for sales-type and direct financing leases when it is reasonably certain that the lessee would exercise these options. Subsequently, unearned income is amortized to interest income over the lease term using the effective interest method.

> Refer to "Note 19 – Loans", "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" and "Note 24 – Leases" for further information.

For operating leases under lessor arrangements, the Group continues to recognize the underlying asset and depreciates the asset over its estimated useful life. Lease income is recognized in other income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

**Recognition of an impairment on non-financial assets**

The Group evaluates premises, equipment, right-of-use assets and finite intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment assessment is performed for a group of assets for which largely separate cash flows can be identified. Where the carrying amount for the group of assets exceeds the fair value, the group of assets is considered impaired and an impairment is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Recognition of an impairment on such assets establishes a new cost base, which is not adjusted for subsequent recoveries in value.

**Customer deposits**

Customer deposits represent funds held from customers (both retail and commercial) and banks and consist of interest-bearing demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits. Interest is accrued based on the contractual provisions of the deposit contract.

**Long-term debt**

Total long-term debt is composed of debt issuances that do not contain derivative features as well as hybrid debt. Hybrid debt includes capital instruments as well as those issued as part of the Group's structured product activities. Long-term debt includes both Swiss franc and foreign currency denominated fixed and variable rate bonds.

The Group actively manages interest rate risk and foreign currency risk on vanilla debt through the use of derivative contracts, primarily interest rate and currency swaps. In particular, fixed rate debt is hedged with receive-fixed, pay-floating interest rate swaps, and the Group applies hedge accounting per the guidance of ASC Topic 815 – Derivatives and Hedging.

For capital management purposes, the Group has outstanding hybrid capital instruments in the form of low- and high-trigger tier 1 and tier 2 capital notes, with a write-off or contingent share conversion feature. Typically, these instruments have an embedded derivative that is bifurcated for accounting purposes. The embedded derivative is measured separately and changes in fair value are recorded in trading revenue. The host contract is generally accounted for under the amortized cost method unless the fair value option has been elected and the entire instrument is carried at fair value.

The Group's long-term debt also includes various equity-linked and other indexed instruments with embedded derivative features, for which payments and redemption values are linked to commodities, stocks, indices, currencies or other assets. The Group elected to account for substantially all of these instruments at fair value.

Changes in the fair value of fair-value option elected instruments are recognized as a component of trading revenues, except for changes in fair value attributed to own credit risk, which is recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI), net of tax, and recycled to trading revenue when the debt is de-recognized.

**Guarantees**

In cases where the Group acts as a guarantor, the Group recognizes in other liabilities, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligations undertaken in issuing such a guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that certain events or conditions occur. Contingent obligations under issued guarantees not related to a financial obligation such as performance guarantees and non-financial standby letters of credit are assessed for the probability of loss on an ongoing basis. Contingent obligations under issued guarantees related to a financial obligation such as credit guarantees and financial standby letters of credit are assessed for CECL at reporting date.

**Pension and other post-retirement benefits**

Credit Suisse sponsors a number of post-employment benefit plans for its employees worldwide, which include defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment benefits. The major plans are located in Switzerland, the UK and the US.

The Group uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the present value of its projected benefit obligations (PBO) and the current and past service costs or credits related to its defined benefit and other post-retirement benefit plans. The measurement date used to perform the actuarial valuation is December 31 and is performed by independent qualified actuaries.

Certain key assumptions are used in performing the actuarial valuations. These assumptions must be made concerning the future events that will determine the amount and timing of the benefit payments and thus require significant judgment and estimates by Group management. This includes making assumptions with regard to discount rates, salary increases, interest rate on savings balances, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and mortality (future life expectancy).

The assumed discount rates reflect the rates at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. These rates are determined based on yield curves, constructed from high-quality corporate bonds currently available and observable in the market and are expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. In countries where there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds with longer durations, the best available market information, including governmental bond yields and risk premiums, is used to construct the yield curve.

Salary increases are determined by reviewing historical practice and external market data as well as considering internal projections.

The interest rate on savings balances is applicable only to the Credit Suisse Swiss pension plan (Swiss pension plan). The Board of Trustees of the Swiss pension plan sets the interest rate to be applied on the accumulated savings balance on an annual basis. Credit Suisse estimates the future interest rate on savings balances, taking into consideration actions and rates approved by the Board of Trustees of the Swiss pension plan and expected future changes in the interest rate environment based on the yield curve used for the discount rate.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined on a plan-by-plan basis, taking into account asset allocation, historical rate of return, benchmark indices for similar-type pension plan assets, long-term expectations of future returns and investment strategy.

Mortality assumptions are based on standard mortality tables and standard models and methodologies for projecting future improvements to mortality as developed and published by external independent actuarial societies and actuarial organizations.

Health care cost trend rates are determined by reviewing external data and the Group's own historical trends for health care costs.

The funded status of the Group's defined benefit post-retirement and pension plans is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the PBO or the market value of plan assets are amortized to net periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit costs on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service period of the active participants expected to receive benefits from the plan. If all or almost all of the participants are inactive, the amortization period is based on the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants. Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service period of the active participants expected to receive benefits from the plan immediately after the date the plan amendment is adopted. If all or almost all of the participants are inactive, the amortization period is based on the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants.

If the cost of settlements is above the threshold, the settlement gain or loss recognized in earnings is the actuarial net gain/loss transferred out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Where only a part of the PBO is settled, the amount recognized in earnings includes a proportionate share of the net actuarial gain/loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income equal to the percentage reduction of the PBO. The threshold is defined as the sum of the service cost and interest cost of that year.

The Group records pension expense for defined contribution plans when the employee renders service to the company, essentially coinciding with the cash contributions to the plans.

**Share-based compensation**

For all share-based awards granted to employees, compensation expense is measured at grant date or modification date based on the fair value of the number of awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered and is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the required service period.

The incremental tax effects of the difference between the compensation expense recorded in the US GAAP accounts and the tax deduction received, are recorded in the income statement at the point in time the deduction for tax purposes is recorded.

Compensation expense for share-based awards that vest in their entirety at the end of the vesting period (cliff vesting) and awards that vest in annual installments (graded vesting), which only contain a service condition that affects vesting, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for the entire award. However, if awards with graded vesting contain a performance condition, then each installment is expensed as if it were a separate award ("front-loaded" expense recognition). Furthermore, recognition of compensation expense is accelerated to the date an employee becomes eligible for retirement.

Performance share awards contain a performance condition. In the event of either a negative return on equity (ROE) of the Group or a divisional loss, any outstanding performance share awards will be subject to a reduction. The amount of compensation expense recorded includes an estimate of any expected reductions. For each reporting period after the grant date, the expected number of shares to be ultimately delivered upon vesting is reassessed and reflected as an adjustment to the cumulative compensation expense recorded in the income statement. The basis for the ROE calculation may vary from year to year, depending on the Compensation Committee's determination for the year in which the performance shares are granted.

Certain employees own equity interests in the form of carried interests in certain funds managed by the Group. Expenses recognized under these ownership interests are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in compensation and benefits.

**Own shares, own bonds and financial instruments on own shares**

The Group may buy and sell own shares, own bonds and financial instruments on own shares within its normal trading and market-making activities. In addition, the Group may hold its own shares to satisfy commitments arising from employee share-based compensation awards. Own shares are recorded at cost and reported as treasury shares, resulting in a reduction to total shareholders' equity. Financial instruments on own shares are recorded as assets or liabilities or as equity when the criteria for equity classification are met. Dividends received by subsidiaries on own shares and unrealized and realized gains and losses on own shares classified in total shareholders' equity are excluded from the consolidated statements of operations.

Any holdings of bonds issued by any Group entity are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

**Net interest income**

Interest income and interest expense arising from interest-bearing assets and liabilities other than those carried at fair value or the lower of cost or market are accrued, and any related net deferred premiums, discounts, origination fees or costs are amortized as an adjustment to the yield over the life of the related asset and liability. Interest from debt securities and dividends on equity securities carried as trading assets and trading liabilities are recorded in interest and dividend income.

> Refer to "Loans" for further information on interest on loans.

**Commissions and fees**

Commissions and fees include revenue from contracts with customers. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a contractual performance obligation. The Group satisfies a performance obligation when control of the underlying good or services related to the performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Control is the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the good or service. The Group must determine whether control of a good or service is transferred over time. If so, the related revenue is recognized over time as the good or service is transferred to the customer. If not, control of the good or service is transferred at a point in time. The performance obligations are typically satisfied as the services in the contract are rendered. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The transaction price can be a fixed amount or can vary because of performance bonuses or other similar items. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price once it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the amount of variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Generally, no significant judgement is required with respect to recording variable consideration.

When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Group must determine whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (that is, the Group is a principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (that is, the Group is an agent). The Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer. Gross presentation (revenue on the revenue line and expense on the expense line) is appropriate

when the Group acts as principal in a transaction. Conversely, net presentation (revenue and expenses reported net) is appropriate when the Group acts as an agent in the transaction.

Transaction-related expenses are expensed as incurred. Underwriting expenses are deferred and recognized along with the underwriting revenue.

> Refer to "Note 14 – Revenue from contracts with customers" for further information.

In March 2022, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 121, "Accounting for Obligations to Safeguard Crypto-Assets an Entity Holds for Platform Users" (SAB 121). SAB 121 introduces interpretive guidance requiring the recognition of a liability and a corresponding asset to account for obligations to safeguard digital assets held for clients. SAB 121 requires additional disclosure of such custodial relationships in the interim and annual financial statements. The guidance within SAB 121 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2022, with retrospective application to the beginning of the fiscal year.

The adoption of SAB 121 did not have a material impact on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**Standards to be adopted in future periods**

**ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses**

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, "Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" (ASU 2022-02), an update to ASC Topic 326 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2022-02 eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings by creditors. The loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC Topic 310 – Receivables will be applied to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and require disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and for the interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, applying the modified retrospective approach did not have a material impact on the Group's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

**ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement**

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions" (ASU 2022-03), an update to ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments require new disclosures related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, including the fair value of such equity securities, the nature and remaining duration of the corresponding restrictions and any circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and for the interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-03 on the Group's financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3 Business developments, significant shareholders and subsequent events

**Business developments**

**Strategic review**

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse announced a series of decisive actions following a strategic review conducted by the Board of Directors and Executive Board, focused on a restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital. The transformation is intended to be funded through divestments, exits, capital actions and existing resources. As the Group implements these actions, restructuring costs, including from asset impairments and liability valuations, are expected to arise in connection with business activities the Group plans to exit or transfer and their related infrastructure.

Effective January 1, 2023, reflecting the strategic announcement of October 27, 2022, the Group is organized into five divisions – Wealth Management, Swiss Bank, Asset Management and the Investment Bank, as well as a new Capital Release Unit (CRU). Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the Group's financial reporting will be presented accordingly. Core results include the results of the divisions and the Corporate Center and exclude the results of the CRU.

**Capital increase**

On November 23, 2022, Credit Suisse Group AG held an Extraordinary General Meeting, at which shareholders approved two capital increases. Credit Suisse Group AG completed the first capital increase on November 25, 2022 by way of a share placement of 462,041,884 newly issued shares to qualified investors resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 1.76 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG completed the second capital increase by way of a rights offering on December 9, 2022. By the end of the rights exercise period, 98.2% of the rights had been exercised for the issuance of 872,989,594 shares. The remaining 16,378,864 newly issued shares for which rights were not exercised were sold in the market. The rights offering resulted in gross proceeds of CHF 2.25 billion. The capital increases resulted in 1,351,410,342 newly issued shares and gross proceeds for Credit Suisse Group AG of CHF 4.0 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG made capital contributions of CHF 3.89 billion to its wholly owned subsidiary Credit Suisse AG.

**Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, during early fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. However, as the quarter progressed, these outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed by year end, and customer deposits declined by CHF 138 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. As is normal practice, the Group also limited its access to the capital markets in the period immediately preceding the Group's strategy announcements on October 27, 2022.

**Outflows in assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed, Credit Suisse began experiencing deposit and net asset outflows in early fourth quarter of 2022 at levels that substantially exceeded the rates incurred in the third quarter of 2022. At the Group level, net asset outflows in the fourth quarter of 2022 were approximately 8% of assets under management as of the end of the third quarter of 2022, with approximately two-thirds of these net asset outflows in the quarter concentrated in October 2022.

> Refer to "Note 39 – Assets under management" for further information.

**Sale of CS Trust business**

On September 6, 2022, the Group signed separate agreements with The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (Butterfield) and Gasser Partner Trust reg. (Gasser Partner) for the sale of its global trust business (Credit Suisse Trust, CST). Under separate agreements, Butterfield will acquire CST's businesses based in Guernsey, Singapore and The Bahamas, while Gasser Partner will acquire CST's Liechtenstein business.

The transaction with Butterfield is expected to close in 2023 and is subject to customary conditions. The transfer of a majority of the trust structures in Liechtenstein occurred on February 28, 2023, with the expectation that a small number of remaining trust structures will transfer on a rolling basis in the first half of 2023. Upon completion of the transactions, Butterfield and Gasser Partner will take over the ongoing management and administration of most of the trust structures in the respective jurisdictions.

**Allfunds Group**

On October 21, 2022, the Group announced the successful completion of the offering of its entire shareholding in Allfunds Group plc (Allfunds Group), which represented approximately 8.6% of the share capital of Allfunds Group, through an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors. Following the completion of this transaction, the Group no longer holds any shares in Allfunds Group.

**Energy Infrastructure Partners**

On October 21, 2022, the Group entered into an agreement with the managing partners of Energy Infrastructure Partners AG (EIP) to acquire the Group's remaining 30% stake in EIP. Following the completion of this transaction, the Group no longer holds any shares in EIP.

On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it had entered into definitive transaction agreements to sell a significant part of its Securitized Products Group (SPG) to entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management.

The note will provide annual payments and convert into, and the warrant entitles the seller to subscribe to, CS First Boston shares at a qualified initial public offering (IPO) or other liquidity event, at the then-valuation of CS First Boston, less a customary discount. The principal amount of the convertible note is expected to be USD 100 million, with the balance being paid in cash dependent on taxes to be paid by the seller at closing.

4 Segment information

The Group is a global financial services company domiciled in Switzerland and, effective January 1, 2022 until December 31, 2022, was organized into four divisions – Wealth Management, Investment Bank, Swiss Bank and Asset Management. Prior periods were restated to conform to the current presentation.

> Refer to "Note 3 – Business developments, significant shareholders and subsequent events" for further information on the Group's divisional organization effective January 1, 2023.

The segment information reflects the Group's reportable segments and the Corporate Center, which are managed and reported on a pre-tax basis, as follows:

■ The **Wealth Management** division offers comprehensive wealth management and investment solutions and tailored financing and advisory services to UHNW and HNW individuals and external asset managers. We serve our clients through coverage areas addressing the geographies of Switzerland, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America.

■ The **Investment Bank** division offers a broad range of financial products and services. Our suite of products and services includes global securities sales, trading and execution, capital raising and advisory services. Our clients include financial institutions, corporations, governments, sovereigns, UHNW and institutional investors, such as pension funds and hedge funds, financial sponsors and private individuals around the world.

■ The **Swiss Bank** division offers comprehensive advice and a wide range of financial solutions to private, corporate and institutional clients primarily domiciled in our home market of Switzerland. Our private clients business has a leading franchise in Switzerland, including HNW, affluent, retail and small business clients. In addition, we provide consumer finance services through our subsidiary BANK-now and the leading credit card brands through our investment in Swisscard AECS GmbH. Our corporate and institutional clients business serves large corporate clients, small and medium-sized enterprises, institutional clients, financial institutions and commodity traders.

■ The **Asset Management** division offers investment solutions and services globally to a broad range of clients, including pension funds, governments, foundations and endowments, corporations and individuals, with a strong presence in our Swiss home market. Backed by the Group's global presence, Asset Management offers active and passive solutions in traditional investments as well as alternative investments.

Corporate Center included parent company operations such as Group financing, expenses for projects sponsored by the Group and certain expenses and revenues that had not been allocated to the segments. In addition, the Corporate Center included consolidation and elimination adjustments required to eliminate intercompany revenues and expenses.

**Revenue sharing and cost allocation**

Responsibility for each product is allocated to a specific segment, which records all related revenues and expenses. Revenue-sharing and service level agreements govern the compensation received by one segment for generating revenue or providing services on behalf of another. These agreements are negotiated periodically by the relevant segments on a product-by-product basis. The aim of revenue-sharing and service level agreements is to reflect the pricing structure of unrelated third-party transactions.

Corporate services and business support in finance, operations, human resources, legal, compliance, risk management and IT are provided by corporate functions, and the related costs are allocated to the segments and Corporate Center based on their requirements and other relevant measures.

**Funding**

The Group centrally manages its funding activities. New instruments for funding and capital purposes are primarily issued by Credit Suisse Group AG and are passed on to Credit Suisse AG, the direct bank subsidiary of the Group (the Bank). The Bank lends funds to its operating subsidiaries and affiliates on both a senior and subordinated basis, as needed, the latter typically to meet capital requirements, or as desired by management to capitalize on opportunities. Capital is distributed to the segments considering factors such as regulatory capital requirements, utilized economic capital and the historic and future potential return on capital.

Transfer pricing, using market rates, is used to record net revenues and expenses in each of the segments for this capital and funding. The Group's funds transfer pricing system is designed to allocate funding costs to its businesses in a way that incentivizes their efficient use of funding. The Group's funds transfer pricing system is an essential tool that allocates to the businesses the short-term and long-term costs of funding their balance sheet usages and off-balance sheet contingencies. The funds transfer pricing framework ensures the full funding costs allocation under normal business conditions, but it is of even greater importance in a stressed capital markets environment where raising funds is more challenging and expensive. Under this framework, the Group's businesses are also credited to the extent they provide long-term stable funding.

**Managing the risks**

As a result of the Group's broad involvement in financial products and markets, its trading strategies are correspondingly diverse and exposures are generally spread across a diversified range of risk factors and locations. The Group uses an economic capital limit structure to limit overall risk taking. The level of risk incurred by its divisions is further managed by a variety of factors and specific risk constraints, including consolidated controls over trading exposures. Also, as part of its overall risk management, the Group holds a portfolio of economic hedges. Hedges are impacted by market movements, similar to trading securities, and may result in gains or losses on the hedges which offset losses or gains on the portfolios they were designed to economically hedge. The Group manages its trading risk with regard to both market and credit risk. The Group uses market risk measurement and management methods capable of calculating comparable exposures across its many activities and employs focused tools that can model unique characteristics of certain instruments or portfolios.

The principal risk measurement methodology for trading book exposures is value-at-risk. Macroeconomic and specific hedging strategies are in place to manage and mitigate the market and credit risk in the trading book.

14 Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are collected by the Group from a customer and both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction are excluded from revenue. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a contractual performance obligation. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price once it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the amount of variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Generally no significant judgement is required with respect to recording variable consideration.

If a fee is a fixed percentage of a variable account value at contract inception, recognition of the fee revenue is constrained as the contractual consideration is highly susceptible to change due to factors outside of the Group's influence. However, at each performance measurement period end (e.g., end-of-day, end-of-month, end-of-quarter), recognition of the cumulative amount of the consideration to which the Group is entitled is no longer constrained because it is calculated based on a known account value and the fee revenue is no longer variable.

**Nature of services**

The following is a description of the principal activities from which the Group generates its revenues from contracts with customers.

The performance obligations are typically satisfied as the services in the contract are rendered. The contract terms are generally such that they do not result in any contract assets. The contracts generally do not include a significant financing component or obligations for refunds or other similar obligations. Any variable consideration included in the transaction price is only recognized when the uncertainty of the amount is resolved and it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

Credit Suisse's wealth management businesses provide investment services and solutions for clients, including asset management, investment advisory and investment management, wealth planning, and origination and structuring of sophisticated financing transactions. The Group receives for these services investment advisory and investment management fees which are generally reflected in the line item "Investment and portfolio management" in the table "Contracts with customers and disaggregation of revenues" below. Generally, the fee for the service provided is recognized over the period of time the service is provided.

The wealth management businesses also provide comprehensive advisory services and tailored investment and financing solutions to private, corporate and institutional clients. The nature of the services range from investment and wealth management activities, which are services rendered over a period of time according to the contract with the customer, to more transaction-specific services such as brokerage and sales and trading services and the offer of client-tailored financing products. The services are provided as requested by Credit Suisse's clients, and the fee for the service requested is recognized once the service is provided.

The Group's asset management businesses offer investment solutions and services globally to a broad range of clients, including pension funds, governments, foundations and endowments, corporations and individuals. Fund managers typically enter into a variety of contracts to provide investment management and other services. A fund manager may satisfy its performance obligation independently or may engage a third party to satisfy some or all of a performance obligation on the fund manager's behalf. Although the fund manager may have engaged a third party to provide inputs to the overall investment management services, the contractual obligation to provide investment management services to a customer remains the primary responsibility of the fund manager. As such, the fund manager is acting as a principal in the transaction. As a fund manager, the Group typically receives base management fees and may additionally receive performance-based management fees which are both recognized as "Investment and portfolio management" revenues in the table "Contracts with customers and disaggregation of revenues" below. Base management fees are generally calculated based on the NAV of the customer's investment, which can change during the performance period. Performance-based management fees are variable consideration received by the Group depending on the financial performance of the underlying fund. As both the base management fees and performance-based management fees are variable, the Group recognizes the fees once it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur and when the uncertainty of the amount is resolved. The estimate of these variable fees is constrained until the end of the performance measurement period. Generally, the uncertainty is resolved at the end of the performance measurement period and therefore no significant judgement is necessary when recording variable consideration. Under a clawback obligation provision, a fund manager may be required to return certain distributions received from a fund if a specific performance threshold, i.e., benchmark, is not achieved at the end of the lifetime of the fund. The contractual clawback obligation is an additional factor of uncertainty which is considered in the constraint assessment. If the performance-based management fee is earned but the clawback provision has not lapsed, the clawback obligation is accounted for as a refund liability.

The Group's capital markets businesses underwrite and sell securities on behalf of customers. Typically, the fees in these businesses are recognized at a single point in time once the transaction is complete, i.e., when the securities have been placed with investors, and recognized as underwriting revenue. All expenses incurred in satisfying the performance obligation are deferred and recognized once the transaction is complete. Generally Credit Suisse and other banks form a syndicate group to underwrite and place the securities for a customer. The Group may act as the lead or a participating member in the syndicate group. Each member of the syndicate group, including the lead and

participating underwriters, is acting as principal for their proportionate share of the syndication. As a result, the individual underwriters reflect their proportionate share of underwriting revenue and underwriting costs on a gross basis.

The Group also offers brokerage services in its investment banking businesses, including global securities sales, trading and execution, prime brokerage and investment research. For the services provided, such as the execution of client trades in securities or derivatives, the Group typically earns a brokerage commission when the trade is executed. The Group generally acts as an agent when buying or selling exchange-traded cash securities, exchange-traded derivatives or centrally cleared OTC derivatives on behalf of clients.

Credit Suisse's investment banking businesses provide services that include advisory services to clients in connection with corporate finance activities. The term "advisory" includes any type of service the Group provides in an advisory capacity. For these types of services, the Group typically receives a non-refundable retainer fee and/or a success fee which usually represents a percentage of the transaction proceeds if and when the corporate finance activity is completed. Additionally, the contract may contain a milestone fee such as an "announcement fee" that is payable upon the public announcement of the corporate finance activity. Typically the fees in the investment banking business are recognized at a specific point in time once it is determined that the performance obligation related to the transaction has been completed. A contract liability will be recorded if the Group receives a payment such as a retainer fee or announcement fee for an advisory service prior to satisfying the performance obligation. Advisory fees are recognized ratably over time in scenarios where the contracted service of the Group is to act as an advisor over a specified period not related to or dependent on the successful completion of a transaction. Revenues recognized from these services are reflected in the line item "Other Services" in the table below.

The Group did not recognize any revenues in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

There were no material net impairment losses on contract receivables in 2022, 2021 or 2020. The Group did not recognize any contract assets during 2022, 2021 or 2020.

**Capitalized costs**

The Group has not incurred costs to obtain a contract nor costs to fulfill a contract that are eligible for capitalization.

**Remaining performance obligations**

ASC Topic 606's practical expedient allows the Group to exclude from its remaining performance obligations disclosure any performance obligations which are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, any variable consideration, for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, is not subject to the remaining performance obligations disclosure because such variable consideration is not included in the transaction price (e.g., investment management fees). Upon review, the Group determined that no material remaining performance obligations are in scope of the remaining performance obligations disclosure.

Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements represent collateralized financing transactions used to earn net interest income, increase liquidity or facilitate trading activity. These instruments are collateralized principally by government securities and corporate bonds and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time.

In the event of counterparty default, the reverse repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. In the Group's normal course of business, a significant portion of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged has been sold or repledged as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Unrealized losses on debt securities as of December 31, 2022 relate to twelve debt security positions held for liquidity purposes. The Group does not intend to sell these investments nor is it more likely than not that the Group will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Management determined that the unrealized losses on these debt securities were attributable to changes in market valuation driven by interest rate movements and not to credit-related factors. As a result, no impairment charges were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

> Refer to "Note 20 – Financial instruments measured at amortized cost and credit losses" for further information on debt securities held-to-maturity.

**Allowance for credit losses on debt securities available-for-sale**

A credit loss exists if there is a decline in fair value of the security below the amortized cost as a result of the non-collectability of the amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms.

An allowance for expected credit losses is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in provision for credit losses and the non-credit-related losses are recorded in AOCI. Subsequent improvements in the estimated credit losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as a reduction in provision for credit losses. A security is written off when a determination is made that the security is uncollectible. As of the end of 2022 and 2021, the Group had no allowance for credit losses on debt securities available-for-sale.

**Allowance for credit losses**

**Estimating expected credit losses – overview**

The following key elements and processes of estimating expected credit losses apply to the Group's major classes of financial assets held at amortized cost.

**Expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures**

Expected credit loss models for non-impaired credit exposures have three main inputs: (i) PD, (ii) LGD and (iii) EAD. These parameters are derived from internally developed statistical models which are based on historical data and leverage regulatory models under the advanced internal rating-based (A-IRB) approach. Expected credit loss models use forward-looking information to derive point-in-time estimates of forward-looking term structures.

PD estimates are based on statistical rating models and tailored to various categories of counterparties and exposures. These statistical rating models are based on internally and externally compiled data comprising both quantitative and qualitative factors. A migration of a counterparty or exposure between rating classes generally leads to a change in the estimate of the associated PD. Lifetime PDs are estimated considering the expected macroeconomic environment and the contractual maturities of exposures, adjusted for estimated prepayment rates where applicable. Internal credit ratings form a significant input to the model derived CECL PDs. For the majority of counterparties, internal credit ratings are determined via statistical rating models, which are developed under the A-IRB approach of the Basel framework. The models are tailored to the specific business of the respective obligor and are intended to reflect the risk of default over a one-year period of each counterparty. The Group has received approval from its primary regulator to use, and has fully implemented, the A-IRB approach.

LGD estimates the size of the expected loss that may arise on a credit exposure in the event of a default. The Group estimates LGD based on the history of recovery rates of claims against defaulted counterparties, considering, as appropriate, factors such as differences in product structure, collateral type, seniority of the claim, counterparty industry and recovery costs of any collateral that is integral to the financial asset. Certain LGD values are also calibrated to reflect the expected macroeconomic environment.

EAD represents the expected amount of credit exposure in the event of a default. It reflects the current drawn exposure with a counterparty and an expectation regarding the future evolution of the credit exposure under the contract or facility, including amortization and prepayments. The EAD of a financial asset is the gross carrying amount at default, which is modeled based on historical data by applying a term structure and considering portfolio-specific factors such as the drawn amount as of the reporting date, the facility limit, amortization schedules, financial collateral and product type. For certain financial assets, the Group determines EAD by modeling the range of possible exposure outcomes at various points in time using scenario and statistical techniques.

Where a relationship to macroeconomic indicators is statistically sound and in line with economic expectations, the parameters are modeled accordingly, incorporating the Group's forward-looking forecasts and applying regional segmentations where appropriate.

The ability to forecast credit losses over the reasonable and supportable period is based on the ability to forecast economic activity over a reasonable and supportable time window. The Group's macroeconomic and market variable forecasts for the CECL scenarios cover a five-year time horizon. For periods beyond that reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Group immediately reverts to average economic environment variables as model input factors. In the downside and upside scenarios, mean reversion to the base case projected paths will commence in year three, with full convergence occurring in years four and five for certain macroeconomic factors.

Alternative qualitative estimation approaches are used for certain products. For lombard loans (including share-backed loans), the PD/LGD approach used does not consider the Group's forward-looking forecasts as these are not meaningful for the estimate of expected credit losses in light of the short time-frame considered for closing out positions under daily margining arrangements. For international private residential mortgages and securitizations, the Group applies qualitative approaches where credit specialists follow a structured process and use their expertise and judgment to determine the amounts of expected credit losses.

The Group measures expected credit losses considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including any borrower's extension options) during which it is exposed to credit risk, even if the Group considers a longer period for risk management purposes. The maximum contractual period extends to the date at which the Group has the right to require repayment of an advance or terminate an irrevocable loan commitment or a credit guarantee.

**Expected credit losses on impaired credit exposures**

Expected credit losses for individually impaired credit exposures are measured by performing an in-depth review and analysis of these exposures, considering factors such as recovery and exit options as well as collateral and the risk profile of the borrower. The individual measurement of expected credit losses for impaired financial assets also considers reasonable and supportable forward-looking information that is relevant to the individual counterparty (idiosyncratic information) and reflective of the macroeconomic environment that the borrower is exposed to, apart from any historical loss information and current conditions. If there are different scenarios relevant for the individual expected credit loss measurement, they are considered on a probability-weighted basis. The related allowance for credit losses is revalued by the recovery management function, at least annually or more frequently, depending on the risk profile of the borrower or credit-relevant events.

For credit-impaired financial assets, the expected credit loss is measured using (i) the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the contractual interest rate of the loan and (ii) the fair market value of collateral where the loan is collateral-dependent. The impaired credit exposures and related allowance are revalued to reflect the passage of time.

For all classes of financial assets, the trigger to detect an impaired credit exposure is non-payment of interest, principal amounts or other contractual payment obligations, or when, for example, the Group may become aware of specific adverse information relating to a counterparty's ability to meet its contractual obligations, despite the current repayment status of its particular credit facility. For credit exposures where repayment is dependent on collateral, a decrease in collateral values can be an additional trigger to detect an impairment. Additional procedures may apply to specific classes of financial assets as described further below.

Troubled debt restructurings, also referred to as restructured loans, are considered impaired credit exposures in line with the Group's policies and subject to individual assessment and provisioning for expected credit losses by the Group's recovery functions. Restructured loans that defaulted again within 12 months from the last restructuring remain impaired or are impaired if they were considered non-impaired at the time of the subsequent default.

**Macroeconomic scenarios**

The estimation and application of forward-looking information requires quantitative analysis and significant expert judgment. The Group's estimation of expected credit losses is based on a discounted probability-weighted estimate that considers three future macroeconomic scenarios: a baseline scenario, an upside scenario and a downside scenario. The baseline scenario represents the most likely outcome. The two other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes, with the downside

scenario being more severe than the upside scenario. The scenarios are probability-weighted according to the Group's best estimate of their relative likelihood based on historical frequency, an assessment of the current business and credit cycles as well as the macroeconomic factor trends.

The scenario design team within the Group's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) function determines the macroeconomic factors (MEFs) and market projections that are relevant for the Group's three scenarios across the overall credit portfolio subject to the CECL accounting guidance. The scenario design team formulates the baseline scenario projections used for the calculation of expected credit losses from the Group's global chief investment office in-house economic research forecasts and, where deemed appropriate, from external sources such as the Bloomberg consensus of economist forecasts (covering the views of other investment banks and external economic consultancies), forecasts from nonpartisan think tanks, major central banks and multilateral institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank. For factors where no in-house or credible external forecasts are available, an internal model is used to calibrate the baseline scenario projections. The downside and upside scenarios are derived from these baseline scenario projections. These three scenario projections are subject to a review and challenge process and any feedback from this process is incorporated into the scenario projections by the ERM scenario design team. The CECL scenario design working group is the governance forum. The working group performs an additional review and challenge and subsequently recommends approval of the MEFs and related market projections as well as the occurrence probability weights that are allocated to the baseline, downside and upside scenarios. MEFs and related market projections as well as the scenario occurrence probability weights used for the calculation of expected credit losses are approved by the Senior Management Approval Committee.

**Current-period estimate of expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures**

One of the most significant judgments involved in estimating the Group's allowance for credit losses relates to the macroeconomic forecasts used to estimate credit losses over the forecast period, with modeled credit losses being driven primarily by a set of 37 MEFs. The key MEFs used in each of the macroeconomic scenarios for the calculation of the expected credit losses include, but are not limited to, GDP and industrial production growth rates. These MEFs are used in the portfolio- and region-specific CECL models and have been selected based on statistical criteria and expert judgment to explain expected credit losses. The table "Selected macroeconomic factors" includes the Group's forecast of selected MEFs for 2023 and 2024, as estimated as of December 31, 2022. The comparative information includes the forecast of MEFs selected and estimated as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the forecast macroeconomic scenarios were weighted 50% for the baseline, 40% for the downside and 10% for the upside scenario, unchanged compared to the scenario weightings applicable as of December 31, 2021. The MEFs included in the table represent the four-quarter average forecasts for 2023 and 2024 at the end of each reporting period. These MEFs forecasts are recalibrated on a monthly basis and certain CECL models consume data with a time lag or are influenced by statistical base effects from an earlier period. The quarterly series for China real GDP and world industrial production returned to pre-pandemic levels (i.e., the fourth quarter of 2019) in the second and third quarter of 2020, respectively, while the quarterly series for US real GDP returned to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2021. The quarterly series for Swiss nominal GDP and EU nominal GDP returned to pre-pandemic levels in the second quarter of 2021, based on the latest published statistical data available. The macroeconomic and market variable projections incorporate adjustments to reflect the impact of accelerated monetary policy tightening by the world's major central banks in response to high inflation rates, the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on energy and food prices as well as the macroeconomic impact of the property sector slowdown in China. While GDP and industrial production growth rates are significant inputs to the forecast models, a range of other inputs are also incorporated for all three scenarios to provide projections for future economic and market conditions. Given the complex nature of the forecasting process, no single economic variable is viewed in isolation or independently of other inputs.

Expected credit losses are not solely derived from MEF projections. Model overlays based on expert judgment are also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews, and primarily impacting certain corporate and institutional loans portfolios. Such overlays are designed to address circumstances where in management's judgment the CECL model outputs are overly sensitive to the effect of economic inputs that exhibit significant deviation from their long-term historical averages. Overlays may also be used to capture judgment on the economic uncertainty from global or regional developments with severe impacts on economies. The Group's non-specific allowance for expected credit losses on balance sheet and off-balance sheet credit exposures as of December 31, 2022 decreased compared to December 31, 2021. Model overlays were recalibrated during the year to take into account updated input elements based on expert judgment which led to a release. This release of overlays was outweighing the impact of additional stress from macroeconomic factors observable during the year. Overlays continued to be closely aligned with the macroeconomic forecasts and associated scenario weightings.

**Interest income attributable to passage of time**

For financial assets held at amortized cost for which the Group measures expected credit losses based on the discounted cash flow methodology the entire change in present value is reported in provision for credit losses.

**Loans held at amortized cost**

The Group's loan portfolio is classified into two portfolio segments, consumer loans and corporate & institutional loans. The main risk characteristics are described by individual class of financing receivable for each of these portfolio segments:

Consumer loans:

■ Mortgages: includes lending instruments secured by residential real estate; such credit exposure is sensitive to the level of interest rates and unemployment as well as real estate valuation.

■ Loans collateralized by securities: primarily includes lending secured by marketable financial collateral (e.g., equities, bonds, investment funds and precious metals); such credit exposure is sensitive to market prices for securities which impact the value of financial collateral.

■ Consumer finance: includes lending to private individuals such as credit cards, personal loans and leases; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs including economic growth, unemployment and interest rates.

Corporate & institutional loans:

■ Real estate: includes lending backed by commercial or income-producing real estate; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs including economic growth, unemployment, interest rates and industrial production as well as real estate valuation.

■ Commercial and industrial loans: includes lending to corporate clients including small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporates and multinational clients; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs including economic growth, unemployment and industrial production.

■ Financial institutions: includes lending to financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs including economic growth.

■ Governments and public institutions: includes lending to central government and state-owned enterprises; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs including economic growth.

**Expected credit losses on impaired loans**

In addition to the triggers described further above, loans managed on the Swiss platform are reviewed depending on event-driven developments. All corporate and institutional loans are reviewed at least annually based on the borrower's financial statements and any indications of difficulties they may experience. Loans that are not impaired, but which are of special concern due to changes in covenants, downgrades, negative financial news and other adverse developments, are either transferred to recovery management or included on a watch list. All loans on the watch list are reviewed at least quarterly to determine whether they should be released, remain on the watch list or be moved to recovery management. For loans in recovery management from the Swiss platform, larger positions are reviewed on a quarterly basis for any event-driven changes. Otherwise, these loans are reviewed at least annually. All loans in recovery management on international platforms are reviewed on at least a monthly basis.

Gross write-offs of CHF 181 million in 2022 compared to gross write-offs of CHF 297 million in 2021 and were primarily related to corporate & institutional loans in both years. In 2022, gross write-offs in corporate & institutional loans reflected the sale of a facility relating to a coal mining company and write-offs of a loan to a consulting services company, an exposure to a financial institution impacted by sanctions imposed in connection with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and individual positions in small and medium-sized enterprises, Swiss large corporates and ship finance. Write-offs in consumer loans were mainly related to Swiss consumer finance loans and a European mortgage. In 2021, gross write-offs in corporate & institutional loans were mainly related to positions in commodity trade finance, ship finance, corporate lending, the sale of a real estate-related loan and a position in the US health care sector. Write-offs in consumer loans were mainly related to consumer finance.

**Debt securities held-to-maturity**

In 2022, the Group purchased foreign government debt securities held-to-maturity amounting to CHF 971 million, all related to a portfolio of US Treasury securities.

The Group's debt securities held-to-maturity with a carrying value of CHF 921 million as of December 31, 2022 represent a portfolio of US Treasury securities, all rated "AAA" based on the Group's internal counterparty rating. US Treasury securities have a history of no credit losses and market price movements mainly reflect changes in market interest rates. Based on this history of no credit losses and the Group's view of the current and forecasted economic environment, the Group expects the risk of non-payment for US Treasuries to be zero and does not have an allowance for credit losses for these securities. The credit quality of these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group's zero-loss expectation is validated on at least a quarterly basis through the Group's governance structure involving the Credit Risk and Treasury functions.

> Refer to "Note 17 – Investment securities" for further information.

**Other financial assets**

The Group's other financial assets include certain balance sheet positions held at amortized cost, each representing its own portfolio segment. They have the following risk characteristics:

■ Cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks: includes balances held with banks, primarily cash balances with central banks and nostro accounts; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the bank or central bank. Cash and due from banks also includes short-term, highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less, which are held for cash management purposes; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the issuer of the related instrument.

■ Reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing transactions: includes lending and borrowing of securities against cash or other financial collateral; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the counterparty and relative changes in the valuation of securities and financial collateral.

■ Brokerage receivables: includes mainly settlement accounts with brokers and margin accounts; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the counterparty.

■ Other assets: includes mainly cash collateral, accrued interest, fees receivable, mortgage servicing advances and failed purchases; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the related counterparty.

**Credit quality information**

**Monitoring of credit quality and internal ratings – Overview**

The Group monitors the credit quality of financial assets held at amortized cost through its credit risk management framework, which provides for the consistent evaluation, measurement and management of credit risk across the Group. Assessments of credit risk exposures for internal risk estimates and risk-weighted assets are calculated based on PD, LGD and EAD models.

> Refer to "Expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures" for further information on PD, LGD and EAD.

The credit risk management framework incorporates the following core elements:

■ Counterparty and transaction assessments: application of internal credit ratings (using PD), assignment of LGD and EAD values in relation to counterparties and transactions;

■ Credit limits: establishment of credit limits, including limits based on notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure, subject to approval by delegated authority holders, to serve as primary risk controls on exposures and to prevent undue risk concentrations;

■ Credit monitoring, impairments and provisions: processes to support the ongoing monitoring and management of credit exposures, supporting the early identification of deterioration and any subsequent impact; and

■ Risk mitigation: active management of risk mitigation provided in relation to credit exposures, including through the use of cash sales, participations, collateral or guarantees or hedging instruments.

In addition to traditional credit exposure measurement, monitoring and management using current and potential future exposure metrics, Credit Risk performs counterparty and portfolio credit risk assessments of the impact of various internal stress test scenarios. Credit Risk assesses the impact to credit risk exposures arising from market movements in accordance with the scenario narrative, which can further support the identification of concentration or tail risks. The scenario suite includes historical scenarios as well as forward-looking scenarios which are used across the Risk function.

Credit Risk evaluates and assesses counterparties and clients to whom the Group has credit exposures, primarily using internal rating models. Credit Risk uses these models to determine internal credit ratings which are intended to reflect the PD of each counterparty.

For a majority of counterparties and clients, internal ratings are based on internally developed statistical models that have been backtested against internal experience and validated by a function independent of model development. Findings from backtesting serve as a key input for any future rating model developments. The Group's internally developed statistical rating models are based on a combination of quantitative factors (e.g., financial fundamentals, such as balance sheet information for corporates and loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and the borrower's income level for mortgage lending, and market data) and qualitative factors (e.g., credit histories from credit reporting bureaus and economic trends).

For the remaining counterparties where statistical rating models are not used, internal credit ratings are assigned on the basis of a structured expert approach using a variety of inputs, such as peer analyses, industry comparisons, external ratings and research as well as the judgment of senior credit officers.

In addition to counterparty ratings, Credit Risk also assesses the risk profile of individual transactions and assigns transaction ratings which reflect specific contractual terms such as seniority, security and collateral.

Internal credit ratings may differ from external credit ratings, where available, and are subject to periodic review depending on exposure type, client segment, collateral or event-driven developments. The Group's internal ratings are mapped to a PD band associated with each rating which is calibrated to historical default experience using internal data and external data sources. The Group's internal rating bands are reviewed on an annual basis with reference to extended historical default data and are therefore based on stable long-run averages. Adjustments to PD bands are only made where significant deviations to existing values are detected. The last update was made in 2012 and since then no significant changes to the robust long-run averages have been detected.

For the purpose of the credit quality disclosures included in these financial statements, an equivalent rating based on the Standard & Poor's rating scale is assigned to the Group's internal ratings based on the PD band associated with each rating. These internal ratings are used consistently across all classes of financial assets and are aggregated to the credit quality indicators "investment grade" and "non-investment grade".

The Group uses internal rating methodologies consistently for the purposes of approval, establishment and monitoring of credit limits and credit portfolio management, credit policy, management reporting, risk-adjusted performance measurement, economic risk capital measurement and allocation and financial accounting.

A credit quality monitoring process is performed to provide for early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of clients and includes regular asset and collateral quality reviews, business and financial statement analysis and relevant economic and industry studies. Credit Risk maintains regularly updated watch lists and holds review meetings to re-assess counterparties that could be subject to adverse changes in creditworthiness. The review of the credit quality of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment.

> Refer to "Expected credit losses on impaired credit exposures" for further information on credit monitoring.

**Credit quality of loans held at amortized cost**

The following table presents the Group's carrying value of loans held at amortized cost by aggregated internal counterparty credit ratings "investment grade" and "non-investment grade" that are used as credit quality indicators for the purpose of this disclosure, by year of origination. Within the line items relating to the origination year, the first year represents the origination year of the current reporting period and the second year represents the origination year of the comparative reporting period.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not have any loans that were more than 90 days past due and still accruing interest. Also, the Group did not have any debt securities held-to-maturity or other financial assets held at amortized cost that were past due.

**Non-accrual financial assets**

**Overview**

Generally, a financial asset is deemed non-accrual and recognition of any interest in the statement of operations is discontinued when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are more than 90 days past due.

Payments collected on non-accrual financial assets are accounted for using the cash basis or the cost recovery method or a combination of both.

Generally, non-accrual financial assets may be restored to performing status only when delinquent principal and interest are brought up to date in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement and when certain performance criteria are met.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" for further information on the recognition of write-offs of financial assets and related recoveries.

For loans held at amortized cost, non-accrual loans are comprised of non-performing loans and non-interest-earning loans.

In the Group's recovery management function covering the Investment Bank and parts of Wealth Management, once the credit provision is greater than 90% of the loan's notional amount, a position may be written down to its net carrying value in the subsequent quarter if all recovery options are exhausted. In the Group's recovery management functions for the Swiss Bank and the remaining parts of Wealth Management, write-offs are made based on an individual counterparty assessment. An evaluation is performed on the need for write-offs on impaired loans individually and on an ongoing basis if it is likely that parts of a loan or the entire loan will not be recoverable. Write-offs of residual loan balances are executed once available debt enforcement procedures are exhausted or, in certain cases, upon a restructuring.

**Collateral-dependent financial assets**

The Group's collateral-dependent financial assets are managed by a global recovery management function which is divisionally aligned to cover the Investment Bank, Wealth Management and the Swiss Bank.

Collateral-dependent financial assets managed by the recovery management function covering the Investment Bank and parts of Wealth Management mainly include mortgages (including aircraft mortgages), revolving corporate loans, securities borrowing, trade finance exposures and lombard loans. For mortgages, property, aircraft, guarantees and life insurance policies are the main collateral types. For revolving corporate loans, collateral includes mainly cash, inventory, oil and gas reserves and receivables. Securities borrowing exposures are mainly secured by pledged shares, bonds, investment fund units and money market instruments. Trade finance exposures are secured by cash and guarantees. For lombard loans, the Group holds collateral in the form of pledged shares, bonds, investment fund units and money market instruments as well as cash and life insurance policies. The overall collateral coverage ratio increased from 92% as of December 31, 2021 to 94% as of December 31, 2022, mainly driven by newly impaired highly collateralized securitization exposures relating to aircraft companies.

Collateral-dependent financial assets managed by the recovery management function for the remaining parts of Wealth Management mainly include ship finance exposures, commercial loans, lombard loans, residential mortgages as well as aviation and yacht finance exposures. Ship finance exposures are collateralized by vessel mortgages, corporate guarantees, insurance assignments as well as cash balances, securities deposits or other assets held with the Group. Collateral held against commercial loans include primarily guarantees issued by export credit agencies, other guarantees, private risk insurance, asset pledges and assets held with the Group (e.g., cash, securities deposits and others). Lombard loans are collateralized by pledged financial assets mainly in the form of cash, shares, bonds, investment fund units and money market instruments as well as life insurance policies and bank guarantees. Residential mortgages are secured by mortgage notes on residential real estate, life insurance policies as well as cash balances, securities deposits or other assets held with the Group. Aviation and yacht finance exposures are collateralized by aircraft mortgages of business jets and vessel mortgages on yachts, respectively, as well as corporate and/or personal guarantees, cash balances, securities deposits or other assets held with the Group. Collateral-dependent loans increased in 2022, mainly driven by increases in export finance, yacht finance and aviation finance, partially offset by a decrease in lombard loans. The overall collateral coverage increased from 87% as of December 31, 2021 to 92% as of December 31, 2022, mainly driven by increases in higher collateralized exposures.

Collateral-dependent financial assets managed by the recovery management function for Swiss Bank mainly include residential mortgages and commercial mortgages. Collateral held against residential mortgages includes mainly mortgage notes on residential real estate, pledged capital awards in retirement plans and life insurance policies. For commercial mortgages, collateral held includes primarily mortgage notes on commercial real estate and cash balances, securities deposits or other assets held with the Group. The overall collateral coverage ratio in relation to the collateral-dependent financial assets increased from 86% as of December 31, 2021 to 88% as of December 31, 2022 for residential and commercial mortgages, mainly reflecting portfolio replacements with higher collateralized exposures as well as write-offs related to lower collateralized exposures.

**Off-balance sheet credit exposures**

The Group portfolio comprises off-balance sheet exposures with credit risk in the form of irrevocable commitments, guarantees and similar instruments which are subject to the CECL accounting guidance. The main risk characteristics are as follows:

■ Irrevocable commitments are primarily commitments made to corporate and institutional borrowers to provide loans under approved, but undrawn, credit facilities. In addition, the Group has irrevocable commitments under documentary credits for corporate and institutional clients that facilitate international trade. The related credit risk exposure is to corporate clients, including small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporates and multinational clients who are impacted by macroeconomic and industry-specific factors such as economic growth, unemployment and industrial production.

■ Guarantees are provided to third parties which contingently obligate the Group to make payments in the event that the underlying counterparty fails to fulfill its obligation under a borrowing or other contractual arrangement. The credit risk associated with guarantees is primarily to corporate and institutional clients and financial institutions, which are sensitive to MEFs including economic growth and interest rates.

For off-balance sheet credit exposures, methodology, scenarios and MEFs used to estimate the provision for expected credit losses are the same as those used to estimate the allowance for credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. For the EAD models, a credit conversion factor or similar methodology is applied to off-balance sheet credit exposures in order to project the additional drawn amount between current utilization and the committed facility amount.

> Refer to "Allowance for credit losses" for further information on methodology, scenarios and MEFs used to estimate expected credit losses.

In 2022, the loan modifications of the Group mainly included extended loan repayment terms, including postponed loan amortizations and extended maturity dates, interest rate concessions, a waiver of interest, a reduction of a loan commitment, a subordination of loans and changes in collateral coverage terms.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not have any commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose loan terms had been modified in troubled debt restructurings.

In March 2020, US federal banking regulators issued the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)" (Interagency Statement). According to the Interagency Statement, short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 crisis to borrowers that were otherwise current prior to the relief being granted would not be considered to be troubled debt restructurings. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, repayment term extensions or payment delays that are insignificant. The Interagency Statement was developed in consultation with the FASB and the Group applied this guidance until December 31, 2022. The Group had granted short-term modifications to certain borrowers due to the COVID-19 crisis in the form of deferrals of capital and interest payments that were within the scope of this guidance and the loans subject to those deferrals were not reported as troubled debt restructurings in restructured loans.

In accordance with US GAAP, the Group continually assesses whether or not there has been a triggering event requiring a review of goodwill.

Subsequent to the creation of the new segment structure, effective January 1, 2022, a portion of the Wealth Management business was transferred to the Investment Bank in the second quarter of 2022. Goodwill is reallocated between reporting units on a relative fair value basis. The Group concluded that the goodwill transferred to the Investment Bank reporting unit of CHF 23 million was fully impaired.

The announcement on October 27, 2022 of the strategy and organizational changes as well as adverse market and economic conditions represent triggering events for the third quarter of 2022 for goodwill impairment testing purposes, and under US GAAP, goodwill has to be tested for impairment both before and immediately after a reorganization of reporting units. The review of the Group's five-year financial plan to reflect the announced strategy was finalized in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Group concluded that the estimated fair value for all of the reporting units with goodwill exceeded their related carrying values and no further impairment was necessary as of December 31, 2022.

The fair values of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units both exceeded their related carrying values by less than 10%. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse experienced a significant level of deposit and assets under management outflows. The goodwill allocated to these reporting units became more sensitive to an impairment due to these outflows and subdued client activity. There is a significant risk of a future goodwill impairment for these reporting units if their future performances do not achieve the financial projections contained within the five-year financial plan.

As a result of the announced strategy and organizational changes, the Private Fund Group business in the Asset Management reporting unit was transferred to the Investment Bank reporting unit effective January 1, 2023, resulting in an initial transfer of approximately CHF 30 million of goodwill between the reporting units. The Group expects a full impairment in the first quarter of 2023 of the goodwill transferred to the Investment Bank.

As a result of the previously announced acquisition of The Klein Group LLC that is expected to close in the first half of 2023, the Investment Bank will initially recognize a goodwill balance of approximately CHF 60 million, which it expects to fully impair upon the closing of the acquisition.

The carrying value of each reporting unit for the purpose of the goodwill impairment test is determined by considering the reporting units' risk-weighted assets usage, leverage ratio exposure, deferred tax assets, goodwill, intangible assets and other common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital relevant adjustments. The residual value between the total of these elements and the Group's shareholders' equity is allocated to the carrying value of the reporting units on a pro-rata basis.

In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, the Group applied a combination of the market approach and the income approach. Under the market approach, consideration is given to price to projected earnings multiples and price to book value multiples for similarly traded companies and prices paid in recent transactions that have occurred in its industry or in related industries. Under the income approach, a discount rate is applied that reflects the risk and uncertainty related to the reporting unit's projected cash flows, which were determined from the Group's financial plan.

In determining the estimated fair value, the Group relied upon its latest five-year financial plan, which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on its view of current and future economic conditions and regulatory changes.

Estimates of the Group's future earnings potential, and that of the reporting units, involve considerable judgment, including management's view on future changes in market cycles, the regulatory environment and the anticipated result of the implementation of business strategies, competitive factors and assumptions concerning the retention of key employees.

The results of the impairment evaluation of each reporting unit's goodwill would be significantly impacted by adverse changes in the underlying parameters used in the valuation process. If actual outcomes or the future outlook adversely differ from management's best estimates of the key economic assumptions and associated cash flows applied in the valuation of the reporting unit, the Group could potentially incur material impairment charges in the future.

24 Leases

The Group enters into both lessee and lessor arrangements.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" and "Note 23 – Other assets and other liabilities" for further information.

**Lessee arrangements**

The Group primarily enters into operating leases. When a real estate lease has both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract based on the relative standalone selling price. For all leases other than real estate leases, the Group does not separate lease and non-lease components. The Group's finance leases are not material.

The Group has entered into leases for real estate, equipment and vehicles.

Certain equipment and real estate have subsequently been subleased. Sublease income is recognized in other revenues.

| **Net lease costs** | **334** | **352** | 348 |

---

From time to time, the Group enters into sale-leaseback transactions in which an asset is sold and immediately leased back. If specific criteria are met, the asset is derecognized from the balance sheet and an operating lease is recognized.

During 2022, the Group entered into 12 sale-leaseback transactions with lease terms ranging from 5 to 10 years. During 2021, the Group entered into 13 sale-leaseback transactions with lease terms ranging from 3 to 10 years. During 2020, the Group entered into one sale-leaseback transaction with a lease term of one year.

**Lessor arrangements**

The Group enters into sales-type, direct financing and operating leases for real estate, equipment and vehicles. When a real estate lease has both lease and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract based on the relative standalone selling price. For all leases other than real estate leases, the Group does not separate lease and non-lease components.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group had approximately CHF 1.3 billion and CHF 1.1 billion, respectively, of residual value guarantees associated with lessor arrangements.

The Group's risk of loss relating to the residual value of leased assets is mitigated through contractual arrangements with manufactures or suppliers. Leased assets are also monitored through projections of the residual values at lease origination and periodic reviews of residual values.

The Group elected the practical expedient to not evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor cost or lessee cost and excludes these costs from being reported as lease income with an associated expense.

The Group enters into leases with fixed or variable lease payments, or with lease payments that depend on an index or a referenced rate which are included in the net investment in the lease at lease commencement, as such payments are considered unavoidable. Other variable lease payments, as well as subsequent changes in an index or referenced rate, are excluded from the net investment in the lease. Lease payments are recorded when due and payable by the lessee.

Certain leases include i) termination options that allow lessees to terminate the leases within three months of the commencement date, with a notice period of 30 days; ii) termination options that allow the Group to terminate the lease but do not provide the lessee with the same option; iii) termination penalties; iv) options to prepay the payments for the remaining lease term; or v) options that permit the lessee to purchase the leased asset at market value or at the greater of market value and the net present value of the remaining payments.

The Group may enter into vehicle leases as a lessor with members of the Board of Directors or the Executive Board. The terms of such leases with members of the Board of Directors are similar to those with third parties and the terms of such leases with members of the Executive Board reflect standard employee conditions.

Total long-term debt includes debt issuances managed by Treasury that do not contain derivative features (vanilla debt), as well as hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivatives, which are issued as part of the Group's structured product activities. Long-term debt includes both Swiss franc and foreign exchange denominated fixed and variable rate bonds.

The interest rate ranges presented in the table below are based on the contractual terms of the Group's vanilla debt. Interest rate ranges for future coupon payments on structured products for which fair value has been elected are not included in the table below as these coupons are dependent upon the embedded derivative and prevailing market conditions at the time each coupon is paid. In addition, the effects of derivatives used for hedging are not included in the interest rate ranges on the associated debt.

28 Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

The disclosures set out in the tables below include derivatives, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing transactions that:

■ are offset in the Group's consolidated balance sheets; or

■ are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement or similar agreement (enforceable master netting agreements), irrespective of whether they are offset in the Group's consolidated balance sheets.

Similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, global master repurchase agreements and global master securities lending agreements.

The Group uses master netting agreements to mitigate counterparty credit risk in certain transactions, including derivative contracts and securities borrowed, lent and subject to repurchase agreements.

**Derivatives**

The Group transacts bilateral OTC derivatives (OTC derivatives) mainly under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreements and Swiss Master Agreements for OTC derivative instruments. These agreements provide for the net settlement of all transactions under the agreement through a single payment in the event of default or termination under the agreement. They allow the Group to offset balances from derivative assets and liabilities as well as the receivables and payables to related cash collateral transacted with the same counterparty. Collateral for OTC derivatives is received and provided in the form of cash and marketable securities. Such collateral may be subject to the standard industry terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex. The terms of an ISDA Credit Support Annex provide that securities received or provided as collateral may be pledged or sold during the term of the transactions and must be returned upon maturity of the transaction. These terms also give each counterparty the right to terminate the related transactions upon the other counterparty's failure to post collateral. Financial collateral received or pledged for OTC derivatives may also be subject to collateral agreements which restrict the use of financial collateral.

For derivatives transacted with exchanges (exchange-traded derivatives) and central clearing counterparties (OTC-cleared derivatives), positive and negative replacement values (PRV/NRV) and related cash collateral may be offset if the terms of the rules and regulations governing these exchanges and central clearing counterparties permit such netting and offset.

Where no such agreements or terms exist, fair values are recorded on a gross basis.

Exchange-traded derivatives or OTC-cleared derivatives, which are fully margined and for which the daily margin payments constitute settlement of the outstanding exposure, are not included in the offsetting disclosures because they are not subject to offsetting due to the daily settlement. The daily margin payments, which are not settled until the next settlement cycle is conducted, are presented in brokerage receivables or brokerage payables. The notional amount for these daily settled derivatives is included in the fair value of derivative instruments table in "Note 33 – Derivatives and hedging activities".

Under US GAAP, the Group elected to account for substantially all financial instruments with an embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract at fair value. There is an exception for certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value. However, these bifurcated embedded derivatives are generally not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and are not recorded as derivative instruments under trading assets and liabilities or other assets and other liabilities. Information on bifurcated embedded derivatives has therefore not been included in the offsetting disclosures.

The following table presents the gross amount of derivatives subject to enforceable master netting agreements by contract and transaction type, the amount of offsetting, the amount of derivatives not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

**Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions**

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are generally covered by master repurchase agreements. In certain situations, for example, in the event of default, all contracts under the agreements are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Master repurchase agreements also include payment or settlement netting provisions in the normal course of business that state that all amounts in the same currency payable by each party to the other under any transaction or otherwise under the master repurchase agreement on the same date shall be set off.

As permitted by US GAAP the Group has elected to net transactions under such agreements in the consolidated balance sheet when specific conditions are met. Transactions are netted if, among other conditions, they are executed with the same counterparty, have the same explicit settlement date specified at the

inception of the transactions, are settled through the same securities transfer system and are subject to the same enforceable master netting agreement. The amounts offset are measured on the same basis as the underlying transaction (i.e., on an accrual basis or fair value basis).

Securities lending and borrowing transactions are generally executed under master securities lending agreements with netting terms similar to ISDA Master Agreements. In certain situations, for example in the event of default, all contracts under the agreement are terminated and are settled net in one single payment. Transactions under these agreements are netted in the consolidated balance sheets if they meet the same right of offset criteria as for reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements. In general, most securities lending and borrowing transactions do not meet the criterion of having the same settlement date specified at inception of the transaction, and therefore they are not eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets. However, securities lending and borrowing transactions with explicit maturity dates may be eligible for netting in the consolidated balance sheets.

Reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements are collateralized principally by government securities and corporate bonds and have terms ranging from overnight to a longer or unspecified period of time. In the event of counterparty default, the reverse repurchase agreement or securities lending agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held. As is the case in the Group's normal course of business, a significant portion of the collateral received that may be sold or repledged was sold or repledged as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In certain circumstances, financial collateral received may be restricted during the term of the agreement (e.g., in tri-party arrangements).

The following table presents the gross amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements, the amount of offsetting, the amount of securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions not subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the net amount presented in the consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting agreements and the gross amount of financial instruments and cash collateral not offset in the consolidated balance sheets. The table excludes derivatives, reverse repurchase and repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing transactions not subject to enforceable master netting agreements where a legal opinion supporting the enforceability of netting in the event of default or termination under the agreement is not in place. Net exposure reflects risk mitigation in the form of collateral.

Net exposure is subject to further credit mitigation through the transfer of the exposure to other market counterparties by the use of credit default swaps (CDS) and credit insurance contracts. Therefore the net exposure presented in the table above is not representative of the Group's counterparty exposure.

**2022**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 93 million reflected a foreign tax benefit, primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the US and the UK, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in Brazil. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 3,614 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 306 million included the impact of CHF 189 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible funding costs, CHF 154 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions, CHF 75 million relating to other non-deductible expenses, CHF 15 million relating to non-deductible UK bank levy costs and various smaller items. These expenses were partially offset by a net benefit of CHF 138 million for the reassessment of the interest cost deductibility relating to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of non-deductible funding.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 147 million included a tax benefit of CHF 65 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 39 million related to non-taxable dividend income, CHF 37 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 4,545 million primarily related to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, primarily due to the limited future taxable income against which deferred tax assets could be utilized. Management considered both positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of the Group's deferred tax assets will not be realized. This resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of CHF 3,655 million, mainly in respect of two of the Group's operating entities in the US. The net impact also included valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 850 million related to current year results, mainly in respect of two of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland, three of the Group's operating entities in the US and two of the Group's operating entities in the UK. This also included an increase in the valuation allowance of CHF 40 million relating to year-end reassessments of deferred tax assets.

**Other** of CHF 80 million included an income tax benefit of CHF 180 million relating to return-to-provision adjustments and CHF 36 million relating to tax credits. These benefits were partially offset by CHF 57 million relating to the current year US base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) provision, CHF 45 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements and CHF 27 million relating to unrealized mark-to-market results on share-based compensation. The remaining balance included various smaller items.

**2021**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 370 million reflected a foreign tax charge primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the UK, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the US. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 488 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 386 million included the impact of CHF 200 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible costs related to funding and capital (including a contingency accrual of CHF 11 million), CHF 93 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions, including amounts relating to the Mozambique matter, CHF 43 million relating to other non-deductible expenses, CHF 39 million relating to non-deductible bank levy costs and other non-deductible compensation expenses and management costs and various other small items.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 146 million included a tax benefit of CHF 77 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 41 million related to non-taxable dividend income, CHF 15 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income, CHF 15 million related to exempt income and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 621 million included a tax charge from the increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 781 million, mainly in respect of two of the Group's operating entities in the UK. This mainly reflected the impact of the loss related to Archegos attributable to the UK operations. Also included was the net impact of the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 160 million, mainly in respect of one of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland and another of the Group's operating entities in Hong Kong.

**Other** of CHF 174 million included an income tax charge of CHF 100 million relating to withholding taxes, CHF 51 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements, CHF 29 million relating to the current year BEAT provision and CHF 14 million relating to own credit valuation movements. These benefits were partially offset by CHF 24 million relating to prior years' adjustments. The remaining balance included various smaller items.

**2020**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 62 million reflected a foreign tax benefit primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the UK, and profits incurred in lower tax jurisdictions, mainly in Singapore, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the US. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 188 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 254 million included the impact of CHF 117 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible costs related to funding and capital (including the impact of a previously unrecognized tax benefit of CHF 157 million relating to the resolution of interest cost deductibility with and between international tax authorities, partially offset by a contingency accrual of CHF 41 million), CHF 68 million relating to non-deductible bank levy costs and other non-deductible compensation expenses and management costs, CHF 46 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions and CHF 23 million relating to other non-deductible expenses.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 234 million included a tax benefit of CHF 79 million related to the revaluations of the equity investments in SIX Group AG, Allfunds Group and Pfandbriefbank in Switzerland, CHF 67 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income, CHF 67 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 19 million related to the transfer of the Investlab fund platform to Allfunds Group and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 322 million included a tax charge from the increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 353 million, mainly in respect of the re-assessment of deferred tax assets reflecting changes in the forecasted future profitability of two of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland of CHF 252 million, and also in respect of one of the Group's operating entities in the UK. Also included was the net impact of the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 31 million, mainly in respect of one of the Group's operating entities in Hong Kong and another of the Group's operating entities in the UK.

**Other** of CHF 259 million included an income tax benefit from the re-assessment of the BEAT provision for 2019 of CHF 180 million and the impact of a change in US tax rules relating to federal net operating losses (NOL), where federal NOL generated in tax years 2018, 2019 or 2020 can be carried back for five years instead of no carry back before and also the deductible interest expense limitations for the years 2019 and 2020 have been increased from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the year, which in aggregate resulted in a benefit of CHF 141 million. Additionally, this included an income tax benefit of CHF 82 million relating to prior years' adjustments and a tax benefit of CHF 34 million relating to the beneficial earnings mix of one of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland. These benefits were partially offset by CHF 78 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements, CHF 61 million relating to withholding taxes, CHF 26 million relating to the current year BEAT provision and CHF 14 million relating to own credit valuation movements. The remaining balance included various smaller items.

The US tax reform enacted in December 2017 introduced the BEAT tax regime, effective as of January 1, 2018, for which final regulations were issued by the US Department of Treasury on December 2, 2019. Following the publication of the 2019 financial statements, Credit Suisse continued its analysis of the final regulations, resulting in a revision to the technical application of the prior BEAT estimate. This new information was not available or reasonably knowable at the time of the publication of the 2019 financial statements and resulted in a change of accounting estimate reflected in 2020.

Net deferred tax liabilities of CHF 1,073 million as of December 31, 2022 decreased CHF 4,026 million compared to net deferred tax assets of CHF 2,953 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the valuation allowances relating to the reassessment of the deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, as well as valuation allowances relating to current period results. The movement also reflected tax impacts directly recorded in other comprehensive income, mainly related to own credit movements, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation gains, which were included within the currency translation adjustments, and a pension plan re-measurement.

The Group's valuation allowance against gross deferred tax assets was CHF 10.2 billion as of December 31, 2022 compared to CHF 6.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. This was due to the uncertainty concerning the Group's ability to generate the necessary amount and mix of taxable income in future periods. The

valuation allowance also reflected an increase due to participation impairments in one of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland and a decrease due to valuation allowance adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income, mainly related to own credit movements.

**Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities** 

As of December 31, 2022, the Group had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 18.2 billion. No deferred tax liability was recorded in respect of those amounts, as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Group would need to accrue and pay taxes on these undistributed earnings if such earnings were repatriated. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.

As part of its normal practice, the Group conducted a detailed evaluation of its expected future results. This evaluation was dependent on management estimates and assumptions in developing the expected future results, which were based on a strategic business planning process influenced by current economic conditions and assumptions of future economic conditions that are subject to change. This evaluation took into account both positive and negative evidence related to expected future taxable income and also considered stress scenarios.

This evaluation has indicated the expected future results that are likely to be earned in jurisdictions where the Group has significant gross deferred tax assets, primarily in the US, Switzerland and the UK. The Group then compared those expected future results with the applicable law governing the utilization of deferred tax assets.

Based on the expected future results in two of the Group's operating entities in Switzerland and given that the Swiss tax law allows for a seven-year carry-forward period for NOLs, a valuation allowance is still required on the deferred tax assets of these entities.

UK tax law allows for an unlimited carry-forward for NOLs, while US tax law allows for a 20-year carry-forward period for NOLs arising prior to 2017, federal NOLs generated in tax years from 2018, 2019 and 2020 to be carried back for five years and no expiry limitations for NOLs that arose in 2018 and subsequent years. However, unlimited and long expiry limitations for NOLs are not expected to have a material impact on the recoverability of the net deferred tax assets as management concluded that there was limited recoverability of the net deferred tax assets in the US and the UK as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, primarily due to limited future taxable income against which deferred tax assets could be utilized.

> Refer to "Note 30 – Employee deferred compensation" for further information on share-based compensation.

If, upon settlement of share-based compensation, the tax deduction exceeds the cumulative compensation cost that the Group has recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the utilized tax benefit associated with any excess deduction is considered a "windfall" and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and reflected as an operating cash inflow in the consolidated statements of cash flows. If, upon settlement, the tax deduction is lower than the cumulative compensation cost that the Group has recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the tax charge associated with the lower deduction is considered a "shortfall". Tax charges arising on shortfalls are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

**Uncertain tax positions**

US GAAP requires a two-step process in evaluating uncertain income tax positions. In the first step, an enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that an income tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are then measured to determine the amount of benefit eligible for recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Each income tax position is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

Interest and penalties are reported as tax expense. The Group is currently subject to ongoing tax audits, inquiries and litigation with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and the US. Although the timing of completion is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease of between zero and CHF 14 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Group remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Switzerland – 2020 (federal and Zurich cantonal level); Brazil – 2017; the UK – 2012; and the US – 2010.

30 Employee deferred compensation

Payment of deferred compensation to employees is determined by the nature of the business, role, location and performance of the employee. Unless there is a contractual obligation, granting deferred compensation is solely at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and senior management. Replacement awards granted as part of a contractual obligation are typically used to compensate new senior employees for forfeited awards from previous employers upon joining the Group. It is the Group's policy not to make multi-year guarantees. The Group fully covered its share delivery obligations through market purchases in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for share-based and other awards that were granted as deferred compensation is recognized in accordance with the specific terms and conditions of each respective award and is primarily recognized over the future requisite service and vesting period, which is determined by the plan, retirement eligibility of employees and certain other terms. All deferred compensation plans are subject to restrictive covenants, which generally include non-compete and non-solicit provisions. Compensation expense for share-based and other awards that were granted as deferred compensation also includes the current estimated outcome of applicable performance criteria, estimated future forfeitures and mark-to-market adjustments for certain cash awards that are still outstanding.

**Deferred compensation expense**

The following tables show the compensation expense for deferred compensation awards granted in 2022 and prior years that was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during 2022, 2021 and 2020, the total shares delivered, the estimated unrecognized compensation expense for deferred compensation awards granted in 2022 and prior years outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and the remaining requisite service period over which the estimated unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized. The recognition of compensation expense for the deferred compensation awards granted in February 2023 began in 2023 and thus had no impact on the 2022 consolidated financial statements.

**Share awards**

Deferred compensation awards are awarded to employees with total compensation of CHF/USD 250,000 or the local currency equivalent or higher. Each share award granted entitles the holder of the award to receive one Group share, subject to service conditions. Share awards vest over three years with one third of the share awards vesting on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date (ratable vesting), with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as material risk takers (MRTs), risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime. Share awards granted to MRTs vest over four years with one quarter of the award vesting on each of the four anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards granted to risk manager MRTs vest over five years with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the five anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards granted to senior managers vest over seven years, with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the

third to seventh anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards are expensed over the service period of the awards. The value of the share awards is solely dependent on the Group share price at the time of delivery.

The Group's share awards include other awards, such as blocked shares and special awards, which may be granted to new employees. Other share awards entitle the holder to receive one Group share and are generally subject to continued employment with the Group, contain restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions and generally vest between zero and five years.

In order to comply with the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime and other applicable remuneration regulations, employees who hold key roles in respect of certain Group subsidiaries receive shares that are subject to transfer restrictions for 50% of the amount that would have been paid to them in cash. These shares are vested at the time of grant but remain blocked, that is, subject to transfer restrictions, for either six months or one year from the date of grant, depending on the location.

**Performance share awards**

Performance share awards will no longer be used as a form of deferred compensation award for the 2022 performance year and onwards. In prior years, managing directors and all material risk takers and controllers (employees whose activities are considered to have a potentially material impact on the Group's risk profile) received a portion of their deferred variable compensation in the form of performance share awards. Performance share awards are similar to share awards, except that the full balance of outstanding performance share awards, are subject to performance-based malus provisions.

Outstanding performance share awards granted for prior years are subject to a downward adjustment in the event of a divisional loss by the division in which the employees worked as of December 31, 2022, or a negative ROE of the Group, whichever results in a larger adjustment. For employees in corporate functions and the Asset Resolution Unit, the downward adjustment only applies in the event of a negative ROE of the Group and is not linked to the performance of the divisions. The basis for the ROE calculation may vary from year to year, depending on the Compensation Committee's determination for the year in which the performance shares are granted. A downward adjustment has been applied to outstanding performance share awards, reflecting the negative Group ROE and full year divisional loss in the Investment Bank for 2022.

**Strategic Delivery Plan**

The Strategic Delivery Plan (SDP) was a one-time share-based award granted in February 2022 to most managing directors and directors to incentivize the longer-term delivery of the Group's strategic plan. SDP awards are subject to service conditions and performance-based metrics over the course of 2022-2024. SDP awards are scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime. SDP awards granted to MRTs vest in equal annual installments over two years, commencing on the third anniversary from the grant date. SDP awards granted to risk manager MRTs vest in equal annual installments over three years, while SDP awards granted to senior managers vest in equal annual installments over five years, both commencing on the third anniversary from the grant date. Prior to settlement, the principal amount of the SDP awards will be written down to zero and forfeited if any of the following triggering events exist at the end of 2022, 2023 or 2024:

■ The Group's reported common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio below the FINMA-prescribed minimum + 50 basis points; or

■ The Group's reported CET1 leverage ratio falls below 3.7%.

In addition, the Compensation Committee will review and assess the overall success of the delivery of the strategic plan at a Group level over the three-year period (2022-2024) and may increase the SDP awards up to a maximum of 50% of the initial award amount. Half of the potential uplift would be granted if a pre-determined average Group return on tangible equity threshold is achieved, measured over 2023 and 2024. The other half of the uplift may be awarded based on the Compensation Committee's assessment of risk management and other strategic non-financial achievements.

**Contingent Capital Awards**

Contingent Capital Awards (CCA) will no longer be used as a form of deferred compensation award for the 2022 performance year and onwards. The Group granted CCA of CHF 75 million and CHF 253 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, to managing directors and directors as part of the 2021 and 2020 deferred variable compensation and have rights and risks similar to those of certain contingent capital instruments issued by the Group in the market. CCA are scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, other than those granted to individuals classified as MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime. CCA granted to MRTs, risk manager MRTs and senior managers vest on the fourth, fifth and seventh anniversaries of the grant

date, respectively. CCA awards will be expensed over the vesting period. CCA generally provide a conditional right to receive semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents until settled, with rates being dependent upon the vesting period and currency of denomination. CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that vest four, five or seven years from the date of grant are not eligible for semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents. CCA granted to certain regulated employees that vest over three years are not eligible for semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents.

■ CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that are denominated in US dollars and vest three years from the date of grant receive interest equivalents at a rate of 4.18% and 3.60% respectively, per annum plus the daily compounded (spread exclusive) US dollar Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR); and

■ CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that are denominated in Swiss francs and vest three years from the date of grant receive interest equivalents at a rate of 3.44% and 3.06% respectively, per annum plus the daily compounded (spread exclusive) Swiss franc Swiss Average Rate Overnight (SARON).

The rates were set in line with market conditions at the time of grant and existing high-trigger and low-trigger contingent capital instruments that the Group has issued.

At settlement, employees will receive either a contingent capital instrument or a cash payment based on the fair value of the CCA. The fair value will be determined by the Group. In the case of a cash settlement, the CCA award will be converted into the local currency of each respective employee.

CCA have loss-absorbing features such that prior to settlement, the principal amount of the CCA would be written down to zero and forfeited if any of the following trigger events were to occur:

■ the Group's reported common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio falls below 7%; or

■ FINMA determines that cancellation of the CCA and other similar contingent capital instruments is necessary, or that the Group requires public sector capital support, in either case to prevent it from becoming insolvent or otherwise failing.

**Cash awards**

Cash awards include certain special awards as well as voluntary deferred compensation plans and employee investment plans. For certain special awards, compensation expense was primarily driven by their vesting schedule; for other cash awards, compensation expense was driven by mark to market and performance adjustments, as the majority of the awards are fully vested.

**Deferred fixed cash awards**

The Group granted deferred fixed cash compensation during 2022, 2021 and 2020 of CHF 294 million, CHF 259 million and CHF 120 million, respectively, in the Investment Bank, Wealth Management and Asset Management divisions. This compensation has been expensed over a three-year vesting period from the grant date. Amortization of this compensation in 2022 totaled CHF 214 million, of which CHF 125 million was related to awards granted in 2022.

**Upfront cash awards**

The Group granted upfront cash awards (UCA) of CHF 799 million and CHF 59 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. These awards are subject to repayment (clawback) by the employee in the event of voluntary resignation, termination for cause or in connection with other specified events or conditions within three years of the award grant. The amount subject to repayment is reduced in equal monthly installments during the three-year period following the grant date. The expense recognition will occur over the three-year vesting period, subject to service conditions. Amortization of this compensation in 2022 totaled CHF 387 million, of which CHF 355 million was related to awards granted in 2022.

**Retention awards**

The Group granted deferred cash and share retention awards during 2022 of CHF 367 million, mainly in the Investment Bank division. During 2021 and 2020, the Group granted deferred cash and share retention awards of CHF 395 million and CHF 40 million, respectively. These awards are expensed over the applicable vesting period from the grant date. Amortization of these awards in 2022 totaled CHF 174 million, of which CHF 69 million was related to awards granted in 2022.

**Awards granted for the compensation year 2022**

**Share awards**

On February 10, 2023, the Group granted 102.8 million share awards with a total value of CHF 288 million. The estimated unrecognized compensation expense of CHF 262 million was determined based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date, includes the current estimated future forfeitures and will be recognized over the vesting period, subject to early retirement rules. The majority of share awards granted include the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested shares.

The number of share awards granted to employees was generally determined by dividing the deferred component of variable compensation being granted as share awards by the average price of a Group share over the ten consecutive trading days which ended on February 23, 2023. The fair value of each share award was CHF 2.87, the Group share price on the grant date.

In February 2023, certain managing directors and directors were granted CHF 344 million of UCA as part of their 2022 variable compensation.

**Awards granted in 2023**

**Transformation Awards** 

In February 2023, the Group granted Transformation Awards, with a total award value of CHF 350 million, to employees identified as being critical to the delivery of the transformation strategy. Of the total award value, CHF 70 million relates to the Executive Board and is subject to approval at the AGM 2023.

For employees other than the Executive Board, the Transformation Award was granted in the form of both a deferred cash award and a deferred share award subject to performance conditions. For Executive Board members, the Transformation Award, subject to shareholder approval, was granted as 100% in the form of a deferred shares.

Transformation Awards are expensed over the service period of the award.

Transformation cash awards vest over two years with one half of the cash awards vesting on each of first and second anniversaries of the grant date (ratable vesting), with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the requirements of EU Capital Requirements Directive V and UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime. Transformation Awards granted to MRTs vest over four years with one quarter of the award vesting on each of the four anniversaries of the grant date. Transformation Awards granted to risk manager MRTs vest over five years with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the five anniversaries of the grant date. Transformation Awards granted to senior managers vest over seven years, with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the third to seventh anniversaries of the grant date.

Transformation share-based awards are scheduled to vest if the share price is at CHF 3.82 or higher on December 31, 2025, subject to a cap of three times the initial award grant value. This is applied after taking into account the performance targets, the reported return on tangible equity and cost base for the Group.

**Other awards** 

In the first quarter of 2023, the Group granted additional compensation awards to certain employees. Share-based awards of CHF 38 million and deferred fixed cash compensation of CHF 30 million were granted to key employees. These awards will be expensed over a three-year vesting period from the grant date. In addition, Supplemental Cash Allowance Awards of CHF 114 million were granted to certain employees and will be expensed over a nine-month vesting period from the grant date.

31 Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational decisions, or if another party controls both. The Group's related parties include key management personnel, close family members of key management personnel and entities that are controlled, significantly influenced, or for which significant voting power is held, by key management personnel or their close family members. Key management personnel are those individuals having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group, that is, members of the Executive Board and the Board of Directors.

**Banking relationships**

The Group is a global financial services provider. Many of the members of the Executive Board and the Board of Directors, their close family members or companies associated with them maintain banking relationships with the Group. The Group or any of its banking subsidiaries may from time to time enter into financing and other banking agreements with companies in which current members of the Executive Board or the Board of Directors have a significant influence as defined by the SEC, such as holding executive and/or board level roles in these companies. With the exception of the transactions described below, relationships with members of the Executive Board or the Board of Directors and such companies were in the ordinary course of business and are entered into at prevailing market conditions. Also, unless otherwise noted, all loans to members of the Executive Board, members of the Board of Directors, their close family members or companies associated with them were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no loan exposures to such related parties that were not made in the ordinary course of business and at prevailing market conditions.

**CS First Boston**

On February 9, 2023, the Group announced that it had taken further important steps to progress the carve-out of CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business through the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC, the investment banking business as well as the registered broker-dealer of M. Klein & Company LLC (the seller). The Group also announced the appointment of former Board of Directors member Michael Klein as CEO of Banking and regional CEO of Americas, as well as designated CEO of CS First Boston and a member of the Executive Board. Both Michael Klein's appointment to the Executive Board and the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC are subject to regulatory approval. The purchase price is USD 175 million. To align interests with the Group, the seller will receive a convertible note and a warrant. The note will provide annual payments and convert into, and the warrant entitles the seller to subscribe to, CS First Boston shares at a qualified IPO or other liquidity event, at the then-valuation of CS First Boston, less a customary discount. The principal amount of the convertible note is expected to be USD 100 million, with the balance being paid in cash, dependent on the amount of taxes to be paid by the seller at closing. The net present value of the transaction to the Group is expected to be approximately USD 210 million, which also includes interest cost, annual payments on the note and other payments that may in the future become payable in respect of this transaction. Deutsche Bank AG provided a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors in connection with the acquisition. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023. Following the acquisition's closing, The Klein Group LLC is expected to be fully integrated into CS First Boston. The Group will retain control over the ultimate scope and structure of CS First Boston, including options to attract third-party capital in the future, as announced at the strategy update on October 27, 2022.

In addition, on October 27, 2022, the Group and The Klein Group LLC entered into an engagement letter, under which The Klein Group LLC has been engaged to provide strategic advice and assistance to the Group in connection with the proposed carve-out of CS First Boston, whereby it was agreed that Michael Klein would devote significant time and attention to the services to be provided by The Klein Group LLC to the Group. The purpose of this engagement was to secure Michael Klein's services in relation to the establishment of CS First Boston in the time gap between October 27, 2022 and the effective date of his employment contract as a member of the Executive Board (which is contingent on regulatory approval) and to obtain the support of The Klein Group LLC until closing of the acquisition. The advisory fee under such engagement was USD 10 million.

**Related party loans**

**Executive Board and Board of Directors loans**

The majority of loans outstanding to members of the Executive Board and the Board of Directors are mortgages or loans against securities.

All mortgage loans to members of the Executive Board are granted either with variable or fixed interest rates over a certain period. Typically, mortgages are granted for periods of up to ten years. Interest rates applied are based on refinancing costs plus a margin, and interest rates and other terms are consistent with those applicable to other employees. Loans against securities are granted at interest rates and on terms applicable to such loans granted to other employees. The same credit approval and risk assessment procedures apply to members of the Executive Board as for other employees. The highest loan outstanding to an Executive Board member was CHF 4 million to Ulrich Körner as of December 31, 2022.

**Liabilities due to own pension plans**

Liabilities due to the Group's own defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of CHF 254 million and CHF 331 million, respectively, were reflected in various liability accounts in the Group's consolidated balance sheets.

32 Pension and other post-retirement benefits

The Group sponsors defined contribution pension plans, defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans.

**Defined contribution pension plans**

Defined contribution plans provide each participant with an individual account. The benefits to be provided to a participant are solely based on the contributions made to that employee's account and are affected by income, expenses and gains and losses allocated to the account. As such, there are no stipulations of a defined annuity benefit at retirement and the participants bear the full actuarial as well as investment risk.

The Group contributes to various defined contribution pension plans primarily in Switzerland, the US and the UK as well as other countries throughout the world. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Group contributed to these plans and recognized as expense CHF 241 million, CHF 263 million and CHF 299 million, respectively. This includes expenses of CHF 81 million, CHF 100 million and CHF 143 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Swiss defined contribution pension plan which took effect on January 1, 2020. Contributions to the Swiss defined contribution plan are made by employees and the Group. Assets from this plan are paid out as a lump sum on retirement.

**Defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans**

**Defined benefit pension plans**

Defined benefit pension plans are pension plans that define specific benefits for an employee upon that employee's retirement. These benefits are usually determined by taking into account the employee's salary, years of service and age of retirement. Retirees bear neither the actuarial risk (for example, the risk that the retirees of the plan live longer than expected), nor the investment risk (that is, that plan assets invested and associated returns will be insufficient to meet the expected benefits due to low or negative returns on contributions). The Group's funding policy for these plans is in accordance with local laws and tax requirements.

**Swiss pension plan**

The Group's most significant defined benefit pension plan, the Credit Suisse Swiss Pension Plan (Swiss pension plan), is located and covers its employees in Switzerland and is set up as a trust domiciled in Zurich. The Swiss pension plan provides benefits in the event of retirement, death and disability and meets or exceeds the minimum benefits required under the Swiss Federal Law on Occupational Retirement, Survivors' and Disability Pension Plans (BVG). Benefits in the Swiss pension plan are determined on the basis of the accumulated employer and employee contributions and accumulated interest credited. The Swiss pension plan is treated as a defined benefit plan under US GAAP, mainly due to a guaranteed minimum return on contributions and guaranteed payment of lifetime pensions. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Swiss pension plan comprised 62% and 64%, respectively, of all the Group's employees participating in defined benefit plans, 88% and 84%, respectively, of the fair value of plan assets, and 87% and 84%, respectively, of the pension benefit obligation of the Group's defined benefit plans.

Employee contributions in the savings section depend on their age and are determined as a percentage of the pensionable salary. The employees can select between three different levels of contributions which vary between 5% and 14% depending on their age. The Group's contribution varies between 7.5% and 25% of the pensionable salary depending on the employee's age.

The Swiss Federal council sets the minimum statutory interest rate on savings balances on an annual basis that applies to the BVG minimum pensionable salary (1.0% as of January 1, 2023 and 2022). The statutory interest rate on savings balances does not apply to extra mandatory benefits. The Board of Trustees of the Swiss pension fund sets the interest rate to be applied on the accumulated savings balance on an annual basis.

When employees retire, their savings balance is converted into an annuity and the conversion rate is the percentage used to convert the assets accrued in the Swiss pension plan to an annual lifetime retirement pension. The level of the conversion rate depends on the life expectancy of future retirees and on the long-term potential for returns in the capital markets. The Board of Trustees of the Swiss pension plan has the responsibility to set the conversion rates for the plan. Decisions on conversion rates are to be set for a planning horizon of at least eight years.

**International pension plans**

Various defined benefit pension plans cover the Group's employees outside Switzerland. These plans provide benefits in the event of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment. Retirement benefits under the international pension plans depend on age, contributions and salary. The Group's principal defined benefit pension plans outside Switzerland are located in the US and in the UK. Both of these plans are funded, closed to new participants and have ceased accruing new benefits. Smaller defined benefit pension plans, both funded and unfunded, are operated in other locations.

**Other post-retirement defined benefit plan**

In the US, the Group has a defined benefit plan that provides post-retirement benefits other than pension benefits that primarily focus on health and welfare benefits for certain retired employees. In exchange for the current services provided by the employee, the Group promises to provide health and welfare benefits after the employee retires. The Group's obligation for that compensation is incurred as employees render the services necessary to earn their post-retirement benefits.

**Net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit plans**

The net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans are the costs of the respective plan for a period during which an employee renders services. The actual amount to be recognized is determined using the standard actuarial methodology which considers, among other factors, current service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and the amortization of both prior service costs/(credits) and actuarial losses/(gains) recognized in AOCI.

Service costs on benefit obligation reflected in compensation and benefits – other for 2022, 2021 and 2020 were CHF 259 million, CHF 240 million and CHF 218 million, respectively.

As part of its strategic plan, the Group has launched a number of cost efficiency measures, including headcount reduction. This resulted in curtailment gains of CHF 11 million in 2022, curtailment losses of CHF 2 million in 2021 and curtailment gains of CHF 10 million in 2020. Additional costs of CHF 6 million, CHF 10 million and CHF 8 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the settlement of the pension obligation for employees in Switzerland whose employment has effectively been terminated or who have left the Group due to a sale of their business. Special termination benefit costs of CHF 7 million, CHF 16 million and CHF 8 million have been recognized in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, relating to early retirements in Switzerland in the context of the cost efficiency measures.

**Benefit obligation**

The benefit obligation is expressed as either accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) or PBO. While the ABO refers to the actuarial present value based on employee services rendered prior to that date and takes into account current and past compensation levels, the PBO also applies an assumption as to future compensation levels.

The "Obligations and funded status of the plans" table shows the changes in the PBO, the ABO, the fair value of plan assets and the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for the defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans.

US GAAP requires an employer to recognize the funded status of the defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans on the balance sheet. The funded status of these plans is determined as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the PBO. The funded status may vary from year to year due to changes in the fair value of plan assets and variations of the PBO following changes in the underlying assumptions and membership data used to determine the PBO. In 2022 and 2021, the curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits in Switzerland, which impacted the PBO, related to the headcount reduction in the context of the cost efficiency measures.

The net amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 for the defined benefit pension plans was an overfunding of CHF 3,965 million and CHF 4,011 million, respectively.

The remeasurement loss on the Swiss pension plan recorded as of December 31, 2022 consisted of losses on the asset portfolio of CHF 2,004 million, partially offset by gains on the PBO of CHF 1,975 million due to changes in financial and demographic assumptions, primarily an increase in the discount rate. The remeasurement gain on the Swiss pension plan recorded as of December 31, 2021 consisted of gains on the asset portfolio of CHF 1,189 million, partially offset by losses on the PBO of CHF 321 million due to changes in financial and demographic assumptions, primarily an increase in the interest rate on savings balances.

The remeasurement loss on the international pension plans recorded as of December 31, 2022 consisted of losses on the asset portfolio of CHF 1,199 million, partially offset by gains on the PBO of CHF 907 million due to changes in financial and demographic assumptions, primarily an increase in the discount rate and updates on the membership data. The remeasurement loss on the international pension plans recorded as of December 31, 2021 consisted of losses on the asset portfolio of CHF 110 million, partially offset by gains on the PBO of CHF 100 million due to changes in financial and demographic assumptions, primarily an increase in the discount rate and updates on the membership data.

The settlements of CHF 448 million on the international plans recorded as of December 31, 2021 mainly related to settlements in the UK, reflecting an enhanced transfer value exercise, and settlements in the US, reflecting a partial sale of pension obligations sold to a third party insurer.

In 2023, the Group expects to contribute CHF 271 million to the Swiss pension plan, CHF 15 million to the international defined benefit pension plans and CHF 10 million to other post-retirement defined benefit plans.

**Assumptions**

The measurement of both the net periodic benefit costs and the benefit obligation is determined using explicit assumptions, each of which individually represents the best estimate of a particular future event.

**Net periodic benefit cost and benefit obligation assumptions**

The assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation as of the measurement date are also used to calculate the net periodic benefit costs for the 12-month period following this date.

The discount rates are determined based on yield curves, constructed from high-quality corporate bonds currently available and observable in the market and are expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. In countries where there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds with longer durations, the best available market information, including governmental bond yields and risk premiums, is used to construct the yield curve. Credit Suisse uses the spot rate approach for valuations, whereby individual spot rates on the yield curve are applied to each year's cash flow in measuring the plan's benefit obligation as well as future service costs and interest costs. The assumption pertaining to salary increases is used to calculate the PBO, which is measured using an assumption as to future compensation levels. Credit Suisse estimates the future interest rate on savings balances taking into consideration actions and rates approved by the Board of Trustees of the Swiss pension plan and expected future changes in the interest rate environment. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption is applied to the market-related value of assets to calculate the expected return on plan assets as a component of the net periodic benefit costs. It is based on long-term expected returns, inflation, interest rates, risk premiums and the pension plan's asset allocation. The estimates take into consideration historical asset category returns.

Mortality assumptions are based on standard mortality tables and standard models and methodologies for projecting future improvements to mortality as developed and published by external independent actuarial societies and actuarial organizations.

Under US GAAP, the assumptions used to value the PBO should always represent the best estimate as of the measurement date. Credit Suisse regularly reviews the actuarial assumptions used to value and measure the defined benefit obligation on a periodic basis as required by US GAAP.

**Health care cost assumptions**

The health care cost trend is used to determine the appropriate other post-retirement defined benefit costs. In determining those costs, an annual weighted-average rate is assumed in the cost of covered health care benefits.

The following table provides an overview of the assumed health care cost trend rates.

**Health care cost trend rates**

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>The annual health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually to achieve the long-term health care cost trend rate of 4.5% by 2030. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>The annual health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually to achieve the long-term health care cost trend rate of 4.5% by 2030. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>The annual health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually to achieve the long-term health care cost trend rate of 4.5% by 2030. | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1**<br>The annual health care cost trend rate is assumed to decrease gradually to achieve the long-term health care cost trend rate of 4.5% by 2030. |

The annual health care cost trend rate used to determine the net periodic defined benefit costs for 2023 is 6.3%.

**Plan assets and investment strategy**

Plan assets, which are assets that have been segregated and restricted to provide for plan benefits, are measured at their fair value as of the measurement date.

The Swiss defined benefit pension plan employs a total return investment approach, whereby a diversified mix of debt and equity securities, real estate and alternative investments is used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets while incurring a prudent level of risk. The international plans employ asset liability matching strategies, where the portfolios are mostly invested in debt securities with maturity profiles similar to that of the pension plans' expected future cash flows, with the aim of minimizing interest rate and inflation risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial conditions. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through periodic asset/liability studies and investment portfolio reviews.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total fair value of Group debt securities included in plan assets of the Group's defined benefit pension plans was CHF 6 million and CHF 5 million, respectively, and the total fair value of Group equity securities and options was CHF 2 million and CHF 3 million, respectively.

**Fair value hierarchy of plan assets**

> Refer to "Fair value measurement" in Note 36 – Financial instruments for discussion of the fair value hierarchy.

**Fair value of plan assets**

The following tables present the plan assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 for the Group's defined benefit pension plans.

**Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques used to measure fair value**

**Cash and cash equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents includes money market instruments such as bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, CP, book claims, treasury bills, other rights and commingled funds. Valuations of money market instruments and commingled funds are generally based on observable inputs.

**Debt securities**

Debt securities include government and corporate bonds which are generally quoted in active markets or as units in mutual funds. Debt securities for which market prices are not available, are valued based on yields reflecting the perceived risk of the issuer and the maturity of the security, recent disposals in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment. Units in mutual funds which are not directly quoted on a public stock exchange and/or for which a fair value is not readily determinable are measured at fair value using NAV.

**Equity securities**

Equity securities held include common equity shares, convertible bonds and shares in investment companies and units in mutual funds. The common equity shares are generally traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are regularly available. Convertible bonds are generally valued using observable pricing sources. Shares in investment companies and units in mutual funds, which are not directly quoted on a public stock exchange and/or for which a fair value is not readily determinable, are measured at fair value using NAV.

**Real estate**

Real estate includes direct real estate as well as investments in real estate investment companies, trusts or mutual funds. Direct real estate is initially measured at its transaction price, which is the best estimate of fair value. Thereafter, direct real estate is individually measured at fair value based on a number of factors that include any recent rounds of financing involving third-party investors, comparable company transactions, multiple analyses of cash flows or book values, or discounted cash flow analyses. The availability of information used in these modeling techniques is often limited and involves significant judgment in evaluating these different factors over time. Real estate investment companies, trusts and mutual funds which are not directly quoted on a public stock exchange and/or for which a fair value is not readily determinable are measured at fair value using NAV.

**Alternative investments**

Private equity includes direct investments, investments in partnerships that make private equity and related investments in various portfolio companies and funds and fund of funds partnerships. Private equity consists of both publicly traded securities and private securities. Publicly traded investments that are restricted or that are not quoted in active markets are valued based on publicly available quotes with appropriate adjustments for liquidity or trading restrictions. Private equity is valued taking into account a number of factors, such as the most recent round of financing involving unrelated new investors, earnings multiple analyses using comparable companies or discounted cash flow analyses. Private equity for which a fair value is not readily determinable is measured at fair value using NAV provided by the general partner.

Hedge funds that are not directly quoted on a public stock exchange and/or for which a fair value is not readily determinable are measured at fair value using NAV provided by the fund administrator.

**Derivatives**

Derivatives include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair value of OTC derivatives is determined on the basis of inputs that include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument. The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity since the required inputs are generally observable in the marketplace. Other more complex derivatives may use unobservable inputs. Such inputs include long-dated volatility assumptions on OTC option transactions and recovery rate assumptions for credit derivative transactions. The fair value of exchange-traded derivatives is typically derived from the observable exchange prices and/or observable inputs.

**Plan asset allocation**

The following table shows the plan asset allocation as of the measurement date calculated based on the fair value at that date.

33 Derivatives and hedging activities

Derivatives are generally either privately negotiated OTC contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The Group's most frequently used freestanding derivative products, entered into for trading and risk management purposes, include interest rate, credit default and cross-currency swaps, interest rate and foreign exchange options, interest rate and foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange and interest rate futures.

The Group also enters into contracts that are not considered derivatives in their entirety but include embedded derivative features. Such transactions primarily include issued and purchased structured debt instruments where the return may be calculated by reference to an equity security, index or third-party credit risk, or that have non-standard interest or foreign exchange terms.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Group designates it as belonging to one of the following categories:

■ trading activities;

■ a risk management transaction that does not qualify as a hedge under accounting standards (referred to as an economic hedge);

■ a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability;

■ a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid relating to a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction; or

■ a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

**Trading activities**

The Group is active in most of the principal trading markets and transacts in many trading and hedging products. As noted above, this includes the use of swaps, futures, options and structured products, such as custom transactions using combinations of derivatives, in connection with its sales and trading activities. Trading activities include market-making, positioning and arbitrage activities. The majority of the Group's derivatives were used for trading activities.

**Economic hedges**

Economic hedges arise when the Group enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but the contracts entered into do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP. These economic hedges include the following types:

■ interest rate derivatives to manage net interest rate risk on certain core banking business assets and liabilities;

■ foreign exchange derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk on certain core banking business revenue and expense items, as well as on core banking business assets and liabilities;

■ credit derivatives to manage credit risk on certain loan portfolios;

■ futures to manage risk on equity positions including convertible bonds; and

■ equity derivatives to manage equity/index risks on certain structured products.

Derivatives used in economic hedges are included as trading assets or trading liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

**Hedge accounting**

**Fair value hedges**

The Group designates fair value hedges as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The Group uses derivatives to hedge for changes in fair value as a result of the interest rate risk associated with loans, debt securities held as available-for-sale and long-term debt instruments.

**Cash flow hedges**

The Group hedges the variability in interest cash flows mainly on mortgages, loans and reverse repurchase agreements by using interest rate swaps to convert variable rate assets to fixed rates. Further, the Group uses foreign currency forwards to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with certain forecasted transactions. As of the end of 2022, the maximum length of time over which the Group hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions, excluding those forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments, was 12 months.

**Net investment hedges** 

The Group designates net investment hedges as part of its strategy to hedge selected net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in foreign exchange rates, typically using forward foreign exchange contracts.

**Hedge effectiveness assessment**

The Group assesses the effectiveness of hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. The prospective assessment is made both at the inception of a hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, and requires the Group to justify its expectation that the relationship will be highly effective over future periods. The retrospective assessment is also performed on an ongoing basis and requires the Group to determine whether or not the hedging relationship has actually been effective.

**Fair value of derivative instruments**

The tables below present gross derivative replacement values by type of contract and whether the derivative is used for trading purposes or in a qualifying hedging relationship. Notional amounts have also been provided as an indication of the volume of derivative activity within the Group.

Information on bifurcated embedded derivatives has not been included in these tables. Under US GAAP, the Group elected to account for substantially all financial instruments with an embedded derivative that is not considered clearly and closely related to the host contract at fair value.

**Disclosures relating to contingent credit risk**

Certain of the Group's derivative instruments contain provisions that require the maintenance of contractually specified credit ratings from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the ratings fall below the level specified in the contract, the counterparties to the agreement could request payment of additional collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. Certain of the derivative contracts also provide for termination of the contract, generally upon a downgrade of the contractually specified credit ratings. Such derivative contracts are reflected at close-out costs.

The following table provides the Group's current net exposure from contingent credit risk relating to derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and SPEs that include credit support agreements, the related collateral posted and the additional collateral that could be called by counterparties in the event of a one, two or three-notch downgrade in the contractually specified credit ratings. The table also includes derivative contracts with contingent credit risk features without credit support agreements that have accelerated termination event conditions. The current net exposure for derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and contracts with accelerated termination event conditions is the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that were in a net liability position. For SPEs, the current net exposure is the contractual amount that is used to determine the collateral payable in the event of a downgrade. The contractual amount could include both the NRV and a percentage of the notional value of the derivative.

**Credit derivatives**

Credit derivatives are contractual agreements in which the buyer generally pays a fee in exchange for a contingent payment by the seller if there is a credit event on the underlying referenced entity or asset. They are generally privately negotiated OTC contracts, with numerous settlement and payment terms, and most are structured so that they specify the occurrence of an identifiable credit event, which can include bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, material adverse restructuring of debt or failure to meet obligations when due.

The Group enters into credit derivative contracts in the normal course of business, buying and selling protection to facilitate client transactions and as a market maker. This includes providing structured credit products for its clients to enable them to hedge their credit risk. The referenced instruments of these structured credit products are both investment grade and non-investment grade and could include corporate bonds, sovereign debt, asset-backed securities (ABS) and loans. These instruments can be formed as single items (single-named instruments) or combined on a portfolio basis (multi-named instruments). The Group purchases protection to economically hedge various forms of credit exposure, for example, the economic hedging of loan portfolios or other cash positions. Finally, the Group also takes proprietary positions which can take the form of either purchased or sold protection.

The credit derivatives most commonly transacted by the Group are CDS and credit swaptions. CDSs are contractual agreements in which the buyer of the swap pays an upfront and/or a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the seller of the swap following a credit event of the referenced entity or asset. Credit swaptions are options with a specified maturity to buy or sell protection under a CDS on a specific referenced credit event.

In addition, to reduce its credit risk, the Group enters into legally enforceable netting agreements with its derivative counterparties. Collateral on these derivative contracts is usually posted on a net counterparty basis and cannot be allocated to a particular derivative contract.

> Refer to "Note 28 – Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities" for further information on netting.

**Credit protection sold**

Credit protection sold is the maximum potential payout, which is based on the notional value of derivatives and represents the amount of future payments that the Group would be required to make as a result of credit risk-related events. The Group believes that the maximum potential payout is not representative of the actual loss exposure based on historical experience. This amount has not been reduced by the Group's rights to the underlying assets and the related cash flows. In accordance with most credit derivative contracts, should a credit event (or settlement trigger) occur, the Group is usually liable for the difference between the credit protection sold and the recourse it holds in the value of the underlying assets. The maximum potential amount of future payments has not been reduced for any cash collateral paid to a given counterparty as such payments would be calculated after netting all derivative exposures, including any credit derivatives with that counterparty in accordance with a related master netting agreement. Due to such netting processes, determining the amount of collateral that corresponds to credit derivative exposures only is not possible.

To reflect the quality of the payment risk on credit protection sold, the Group assigns an internally generated rating to those instruments referenced in the contracts. Internal ratings are assigned by experienced credit analysts based on expert judgment that incorporates analysis and evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors. The specific factors analyzed, and their relative importance, are dependent on the type of counterparty. The analysis emphasizes a forward-looking approach, concentrating on economic trends and financial fundamentals, and making use of peer analysis, industry comparisons and other quantitative tools. External ratings and market information are also used in the analysis process where available.

**Credit protection purchased**

Credit protection purchased represents those instruments where the underlying reference instrument is identical to the reference instrument of the credit protection sold. The maximum potential payout amount of credit protection purchased for each individual identical underlying reference instrument may be greater or lower than the notional amount of protection sold.

The Group also considers estimated recoveries that it would receive if the specified credit event occurred, including both the anticipated value of the underlying referenced asset that would, in most instances, be transferred to the Group and the impact of any purchased protection with an identical reference instrument and product type.

**Other protection purchased**

In the normal course of business, the Group purchases protection to offset the risk of credit protection sold that may have similar, but not identical, reference instruments, and may use similar, but not identical, products, which reduces the total credit derivative exposure. Other protection purchased is based on the notional value of the instruments.

The Group purchases its protection from banks and broker dealers, other financial institutions and other counterparties.

**Fair value of credit protection sold**

The fair values of the credit protection sold give an indication of the amount of payment risk, as the negative fair values increase when the potential payment under the derivative contracts becomes more probable.

**Credit protection sold/purchased**

The following tables do not include all credit derivatives and differ from the credit derivatives in the "Fair value of derivative instruments" table. This is due to the exclusion of certain credit derivative instruments under US GAAP, which defines a credit derivative as a derivative instrument (a) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (b) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract.

Total return swaps (TRS) of CHF 5.9 billion and CHF 12.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were also excluded because a TRS does not expose the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. A TRS only provides protection against a loss in asset value and not against additional amounts as a result of specific credit events.

The total gross amount disclosed within the Guarantees table reflects the maximum potential payment under the guarantees. The carrying value represents the higher of the initial fair value (generally the related fee received or receivable) less cumulative amortization and the Group's current best estimate of payments that will be required under existing guarantee arrangements.

Guarantees provided by the Group are classified as follows: credit guarantees and similar instruments, performance guarantees and similar instruments, derivatives and other guarantees.

**Credit guarantees and similar instruments**

Credit guarantees and similar instruments are contracts that require the Group to make payments should a third party fail to do so under a specified existing credit obligation. The position includes standby letters of credit, commercial and residential mortgage guarantees, credit guarantees to clearing and settlement networks and exchanges and other guarantees associated with VIEs.

Standby letters of credit are made in connection with the corporate lending business and other corporate activities, where the Group provides guarantees to counterparties in the form of standby letters of credit, which represent obligations to make payments to third parties if the counterparties fail to fulfill their obligations under a borrowing arrangement or other contractual obligation.

Commercial and residential mortgage guarantees are made in connection with the Group's commercial mortgage activities in the US, where the Group sells certain commercial and residential mortgages to Fannie Mae and agrees to bear a percentage of the losses triggered by the borrowers failing to perform on the mortgage. The Group also issues guarantees that require it to reimburse Fannie Mae for losses on certain whole loans underlying mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, which are triggered by borrowers failing to perform on the underlying mortgages.

The Group also provides guarantees to VIEs and other counterparties under which it may be required to buy assets from such entities upon the occurrence of certain triggering events such as rating downgrades and/or substantial decreases in the fair value of those assets.

**Performance guarantees and similar instruments**

Performance guarantees and similar instruments are arrangements that require contingent payments to be made when certain performance-related targets or covenants are not met. Such covenants may include a customer's obligation to deliver certain products and services or to perform under a construction contract. Performance guarantees are frequently executed as part of project finance transactions. The position includes private equity fund guarantees and guarantees related to residential mortgage securitization activities.

For private equity fund guarantees, the Group has provided investors in private equity funds sponsored by a Group entity guarantees on potential obligations of certain general partners to return amounts previously paid as carried interest to those general partners if the performance of the remaining investments declines. To manage its exposure, the Group generally withholds a portion of carried interest distributions to cover any repayment obligations. In addition, pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, the Group is obligated to make cash payments to certain investors in certain private equity funds if specified performance thresholds are not met.

Further, as part of the Group's residential mortgage securitization activities in the US, the Group may guarantee the collection by the servicer and remittance to the securitization trust of prepayment penalties. The Group will have to perform under these guarantees in the event the servicer fails to remit the prepayment penalties.

**Derivatives**

Derivatives which may also have the characteristics of a guarantee are issued in the ordinary course of business, generally in the form of written put options. Such derivative contracts do not meet the characteristics of a guarantee if they are cash settled and the Group has no basis to conclude it is probable that the counterparties held, at inception, the underlying instruments related to the derivative contracts. The Group has concluded that these conditions were met for certain active commercial and investment banks and certain other counterparties, and accordingly, the Group has reported such contracts as derivatives only.

The Group manages its exposure to these derivatives by engaging in various hedging strategies to reduce its exposure. For some contracts, such as written interest rate caps or foreign exchange options, the maximum payout is not determinable as interest rates or exchange rates could theoretically rise without limit. For these contracts, notional amounts were disclosed in the table above in order to provide an indication of the underlying exposure. In addition, the Group carries all derivatives at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and has considered the performance triggers and probabilities of payment when determining those fair values. It is more likely than not that written put options that are in-the-money to the counterparty will be exercised, for which the Group's exposure was limited to the carrying value reflected in the table.

**Other guarantees**

Other guarantees include bankers' acceptances, residual value guarantees, deposit insurance, contingent considerations in business combinations, the minimum value of an investment in mutual funds or private equity funds and all other guarantees that were not allocated to one of the categories above.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of protected deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guaranteed an amount of up to CHF 6 billion under the regulation applicable until December 31, 2022. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by FINMA or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Group's contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA's estimate for the Group's banking subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Group's share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was CHF 0.5 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees.

On January 1, 2023, a partial revision of the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks (Bank Law) became effective, which included changes to the Swiss deposit insurance guarantee program. Under the revised program, among other changes, the jointly guaranteed amount is now determined as the higher of CHF 6 billion or 1.6% of all protected deposits. The Group's respective share will be approximately CHF 0.6 billion for the period January 1 to June 30, 2023, as per notifications from the administrator of the Swiss deposit insurance program to the Group's Swiss bank subsidiaries. With a transition period until November 30, 2023, banks will have to provide half of the maximum payment obligation as collateral to the administrator of the Swiss deposit insurance program, while the other half will remain subject to the bank's liquidity requirements and will be reflected in other guarantees. Collateral will have to be provided to the Swiss National Bank (SNB) or the SIX Swiss Exchange in the form of high quality liquid securities or Swiss franc cash deposits or to the administrator of the Swiss deposit insurance program in the form of a loan.

**Representations and warranties on residential mortgage loans sold**

In connection with the Investment Bank division's sale of US residential mortgage loans, the Group has provided certain representations and warranties relating to the loans sold. The Group has provided these representations and warranties relating to sales of loans to institutional investors, primarily banks, and non-agency, or private label, securitizations. The loans sold are primarily loans that the Group has purchased from other parties. The scope of representations and warranties, if any, depends on the transaction, but can include: ownership of the mortgage loans and legal capacity to sell the loans; loan-to-value ratios and other characteristics of the property, the borrower and the loan; validity of the liens securing the loans and absence of delinquent taxes or related liens; conformity to underwriting standards and completeness of documentation; and origination in compliance with law. If it is determined that representations and warranties were breached, the Group may be required to repurchase the related loans or indemnify the investors to make them whole for losses. Whether the Group will incur a loss in connection with repurchases and make whole payments depends on: the extent to which claims are made; the validity of such claims made within the statute of limitations (including the likelihood and ability to enforce claims); whether the Group can successfully claim against parties that sold loans to the Group and made representations and warranties to the Group; the residential real estate market, including the number of defaults; and whether the obligations of the securitization vehicles were guaranteed or insured by third parties.

Repurchase claims on residential mortgage loans sold that are subject to arbitration or litigation proceedings, or become so during the reporting period, are not included in this Guarantees and commitments disclosure but are addressed in litigation and related loss contingencies and provisions. The Group is involved in litigation relating to representations and warranties on residential mortgages sold.

> Refer to "Note 40 – Litigation" for further information.

**Disposal-related contingencies and other indemnifications**

The Group has certain guarantees for which its maximum contingent liability cannot be quantified. These guarantees are not reflected in the "Guarantees" table and are discussed below.

**Disposal-related contingencies**

In connection with the sale of assets or businesses, the Group sometimes provides the acquirer with certain indemnification provisions. These indemnification provisions vary by counterparty in scope and duration and depend upon the type of assets or businesses sold. They are designed to transfer the potential risk of certain unquantifiable and unknowable loss contingencies, such as litigation, tax and intellectual property matters, from the acquirer to the seller. The Group closely monitors all such contractual agreements in order to ensure that indemnification provisions are adequately provided for in the Group's consolidated financial statements.

**Other indemnifications**

The Group provides indemnifications to certain counterparties in connection with its normal operating activities for which it is not possible to estimate the maximum amount that it could be obligated to pay. As a normal part of issuing its own securities, the Group typically agrees to reimburse holders for additional tax withholding charges or assessments resulting from changes in applicable tax laws or the interpretation of those laws. Securities that include these agreements to pay additional amounts generally also include a related redemption or call provision if the obligation to pay the additional amounts results from a change in law or its interpretation and the obligation cannot be avoided by the issuer taking reasonable steps to avoid the payment of additional amounts. Since such potential obligations are dependent on future changes in tax laws, the related liabilities the Group may incur as a result of such changes cannot be reasonably estimated. In light of the related call provisions typically included, the Group does not expect any potential liabilities in respect of tax gross-ups to be material.

The Group is a member of numerous securities exchanges and clearing houses and may, as a result of its membership arrangements, be required to perform if another member defaults and available amounts as defined in the relevant exchange's or clearing house's default waterfalls are not sufficient to cover losses of another member's default. The exchange's or clearing house's default management procedures may provide for cash calls to non-defaulting members which may be limited to the amount (or a multiple of the amount) of the Group's contribution to the guarantee fund. However, if these cash calls are not sufficient to cover losses, the default waterfall and default management procedures may foresee further loss allocation. Furthermore, some clearing house arrangements require members to assume a proportionate share of non-default losses, if such losses exceed the specified resources allocated for such purpose by the clearing house. Non-default losses result from the clearing house's investment of guarantee fund contributions and initial margin or are other losses unrelated to the default of a clearing member. The Group has determined that it is not possible to reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments due under the membership arrangements. In addition, the Group believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these membership arrangements is remote.

**Other commitments**

**Irrevocable commitments under documentary credits**

Irrevocable commitments under documentary credits include exposures from trade finance related to commercial letters of credit under which the Group guarantees payments to exporters against presentation of shipping and other documents.

**Irrevocable loan commitments**

Irrevocable loan commitments are irrevocable credit facilities extended to clients and include fully or partially undrawn commitments that are legally binding and cannot be unconditionally cancelled by the Group. Commitments to originate mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivatives for accounting purposes and are not included in this disclosure. Such commitments are reflected as derivatives in the consolidated balance sheets.

**Forward reverse repurchase agreements**

Forward reverse repurchase agreements represent transactions in which the initial cash exchange of the reverse repurchase transactions takes place on specified future dates. The Group enters into forward reverse repurchase agreements with counterparties that may have existing funded reverse repurchase agreements. Depending on the details of the counterparty contract with Credit Suisse, both a counterparty's existing funded reverse repurchase agreement and any forward reverse repurchase agreements under contract with the same counterparty are considered.

**Other commitments**

Other commitments include contracts that require the Group to make payments should a third party fail to do so under a specified future credit obligation, such as commitments arising from deferred payment letters of credit, e.g., with re-insurance clients. Other commitments also include private equity commitments, firm commitments in underwriting securities as well as commitments from acceptances in circulation and liabilities for call and put options on shares and other equity instruments.

35 Transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities

In the normal course of business, the Group enters into transactions with, and makes use of, SPEs. An SPE is an entity in the form of a trust or other legal structure designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it and is generally structured to isolate the SPE's assets from creditors of other entities, including the Group. The principal uses of SPEs are to assist the Group and its clients in securitizing financial assets and creating investment products. The Group also uses SPEs for other client-driven activity, such as to facilitate financings, and for Group tax or regulatory purposes.

Transfers of financial assets

**Securitizations**

The majority of the Group's securitization activities involve mortgages and mortgage-related securities and are predominantly transacted using SPEs. In a typical securitization, the SPE purchases assets financed by proceeds received from the SPE's issuance of debt and equity instruments, certificates, CP and other notes of indebtedness. These assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet of the SPE and not reflected on the Group's consolidated balance sheet, unless either the Group sold the assets to the entity and the accounting requirements for sale were not met or the Group consolidates the SPE.

The Group purchases commercial and residential mortgages for the purpose of securitization and sells these mortgage loans to SPEs. These SPEs issue commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and ABS that are collateralized by the assets transferred to the SPE and that pay a return based on the returns on those assets. Investors in these mortgage-backed securities or ABS typically have recourse to the assets in the SPEs. Third-party guarantees may further enhance the creditworthiness of the assets. The investors and the SPEs have no recourse to the Group's assets. The Group is typically an underwriter of, and makes a market in, these securities.

The Group also transacts in re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities. Typically, certificates issued out of an existing securitization vehicle are sold into a newly created and separate securitization vehicle. Often, these re-securitizations are initiated in order to re-securitize an existing security to give the investor an investment with different risk ratings or characteristics.

The Group also uses SPEs for other asset-backed financings relating to client-driven activity and for Group tax or regulatory purposes. Types of structures included in this category include managed collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), CLOs, leveraged finance, repack and other types of transactions, including life insurance structures, emerging market structures set up for financing, loan participation or loan origination purposes, and other alternative structures created for the purpose of investing in venture capital-like investments. CLOs are collateralized by loans transferred to the CLO vehicle and pay a return based on the returns on the loans. Leveraged finance structures are used to assist in the syndication of certain loans held by the Group, while repack structures are designed to give a client collateralized exposure to specific cash flows or credit risk backed by collateral purchased from the Group. In these asset-backed financing structures, investors typically only have recourse to the collateral of the SPE and do not have recourse to the Group's assets.

When the Group transfers assets into an SPE, it must assess whether that transfer is accounted for as a sale of the assets. Transfers of assets may not meet sale requirements if the assets have not been legally isolated from the Group and/or if the Group's continuing involvement is deemed to give it effective control over the assets. If the transfer is not deemed a sale, it is instead accounted for as a secured borrowing, with the transferred assets as collateral.

Gains and losses on securitization transactions depend, in part, on the carrying values of mortgages and loans involved in the transfer and are allocated between the assets sold and any beneficial interests retained according to the relative fair values at the date of sale. Since the Group generally accounts for assets pending transfer, i.e., prior to securitization, at fair value, the Group does not typically recognize significant gains or losses upon the transfer of assets.

The Group does not retain material servicing responsibilities from securitization activities.

The following table provides the gains or losses and proceeds from the transfer of assets relating to 2022, 2021 and 2020

securitizations of financial assets that qualify for sale accounting and subsequent derecognition, along with the cash flows between the Group and the SPEs used in any securitizations in which the Group still has continuing involvement, regardless of when the securitization occurred.

**Continuing involvement in transferred financial assets**

The Group may have continuing involvement in the financial assets that are transferred to an SPE, which may take several forms, including, but not limited to, servicing, recourse and guarantee arrangements, agreements to purchase or redeem transferred assets, derivative instruments, pledges of collateral and beneficial interests in the transferred assets. Beneficial interests, which are valued at fair value, include rights to receive all or portions of specified cash inflows received by an SPE, including, but not limited to, senior and subordinated shares of interest, principal, or other cash inflows to be "passed through" or "paid through", premiums due to guarantors, CP obligations, and residual interests, whether in the form of debt or equity.

The Group's exposure resulting from continuing involvement in transferred financial assets is generally limited to beneficial interests typically held by the Group in the form of instruments issued by SPEs that are senior, subordinated or residual tranches. These instruments are held by the Group typically in connection with its underwriting and market-making activities, primarily reflecting risk retention requirements applicable to certain securitization activities, and are included in trading assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Any changes in the fair value of these beneficial interests are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investors usually have recourse to the assets in the SPE and often benefit from other credit enhancements, such as collateral accounts, or from liquidity facilities, such as lines of credit or liquidity put option of asset purchase agreements. The SPE may also enter into a derivative contract in order to convert the yield or currency of the underlying assets to match the needs of the SPE investors, or to limit or change the credit risk of the SPE. The Group may be the provider of certain credit enhancements as well as the counterparty to any related derivative contract.

The following table provides the outstanding principal balance of assets to which the Group continued to be exposed after the transfer of the financial assets to SPEs and the total assets of the SPEs as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, regardless of when the transfer of assets occurred.

**Fair value of beneficial interests**

The fair value measurement of the beneficial interests held at the time of transfer and as of the reporting date that result from any continuing involvement is determined using fair value estimation techniques, such as the present value of estimated future cash flows that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in these valuation techniques. The fair value of the assets or liabilities that result from any continuing involvement does not include any benefits from financial instruments that the Group may utilize to hedge the inherent risks.

**Key economic assumptions at the time of transfer**

> Refer to "Fair value measurement" in Note 36 – Financial instruments for further information on the fair value hierarchy.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and do not reflect economic hedging activities. Changes in fair value based on a 10% or 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the beneficial interests is calculated without changing any other assumption. In practice, changes in one assumption may result in changes in other assumptions (for example, increases in market interest rates may result in lower prepayments and increased credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

**Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings**

For securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, US GAAP requires the disclosure of the collateral pledged and the associated risks to which a transferor continues to be exposed after the transfer. This provides an understanding of the nature and risks of short-term collateralized financing obtained through these types of transactions.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions represent collateralized financing transactions used to earn net interest income, increase liquidity or facilitate trading activities. These transactions are collateralized principally by government debt securities, corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, equity securities and other collateral and have terms ranging from on demand to a longer period of time.

In the event of the Group's default or a decline in fair value of collateral pledged, the repurchase agreement provides the counterparty with the right to liquidate the collateral held or request additional collateral. Similarly, in the event of the Group's default, the securities lending transaction provides the counterparty the right to liquidate the securities borrowed.

The following tables provide the gross obligation relating to securities sold under repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and obligation to return securities received as collateral by the class of collateral pledged and by remaining contractual maturity as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Variable interest entities

As a normal part of its business, the Group engages in various transactions that include entities that are considered VIEs and are grouped into three primary categories: collateralized debt obligations (CDOs)/CLOs, CP conduits and financial intermediation. VIEs are SPEs that typically either lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support or are structured such that the holders of the voting rights do not substantively participate in the gains and losses of the entity. VIEs may be sponsored by the Group or third parties. Such entities are required to be assessed for consolidation, compelling the primary beneficiary to consolidate the VIE. The consolidation assessment requires an entity to determine whether it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economics of the VIE as well as whether the reporting entity has potentially significant benefits or losses in the VIE. The primary beneficiary assessment must be re-evaluated on an ongoing basis.

Application of the requirements for consolidation of VIEs may require the exercise of significant judgment. In the event consolidation of a VIE is required, the exposure to the Group is limited to that portion of the VIE's assets attributable to any variable interest held by the Group prior to any risk management activities to hedge the Group's net exposure. Any interests held in the VIE by third parties, even though consolidated by the Group, will not typically impact its results of operations.

Transactions with VIEs are generally executed to facilitate securitization activities or to meet specific client needs, such as providing liquidity or investing opportunities, and, as part of these activities, the Group may hold interests in the VIEs. Securitization-related transactions with VIEs involve selling or purchasing assets as well as possibly entering into related derivatives with those VIEs, providing liquidity, credit or other support. Other transactions with VIEs include derivative transactions in the Group's capacity as the prime broker. The Group also enters into lending arrangements with VIEs for the purpose of financing projects or the acquisition of assets. Typically, the VIE's assets are restricted in nature in that they are held primarily to satisfy the obligations of the entity. Further, the Group is involved with VIEs which were formed for the purpose of offering alternative investment solutions to clients. Such VIEs relate primarily to private equity investments, fund-linked vehicles or funds of funds, where the Group acts as structurer, manager, distributor, broker, market maker or liquidity provider.

As a consequence of these activities, the Group holds variable interests in VIEs. Such variable interests consist of financial instruments issued by VIEs and which are held by the Group, certain derivatives with VIEs or loans to VIEs. Guarantees issued by the Group to or on behalf of VIEs may also qualify as variable interests. For such guarantees, including derivatives that act as guarantees, the notional amount of the respective guarantees is presented to represent the exposure. In general, investors in consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of a default, except where a guarantee was provided to the investors or where the Group is the counterparty to a derivative transaction involving VIEs.

Total assets of consolidated and non-consolidated VIEs for which the Group has involvement represent the total assets of the VIEs even though the Group's involvement may be significantly less due to interests held by third-party investors. The asset balances for non-consolidated VIEs where the Group has significant involvement represent the most current information available to the Group regarding the remaining principal balance of assets owned. In most cases, the asset balances represent an amortized cost basis without regards to impairments in fair value, unless fair value information is readily available.

The Group's maximum exposure to loss is different from the carrying value of the assets of the VIE. This maximum exposure to loss consists of the carrying value of the Group variable interests held as trading assets, derivatives and loans, the notional amount of guarantees and off-balance sheet commitments to VIEs, rather than the amount of total assets of the VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss does not reflect the Group's risk management activities, including effects from financial instruments that the Group may utilize to economically hedge the risks inherent in these VIEs. The economic risks associated with VIE exposures held by the Group, together with all relevant risk mitigation initiatives, are included in the Group's risk management framework.

The Group has not provided financial or other support to consolidated or non-consolidated VIEs that it was not contractually required to provide.

**Collateralized debt and loan obligations**

The Group engages in CDO/CLO transactions to meet client and investor needs, earn fees and sell financial assets and, for CLOs, loans. The Group may act as underwriter, placement agent or asset manager and may warehouse assets prior to the closing of a transaction. As part of its structured finance business, the Group purchases loans and other debt obligations from and on behalf of clients for the purpose of securitization. The loans and other debt obligations are sold to VIEs, which in turn issue CDO/CLOs to fund the purchase of assets such as investment grade and high yield corporate debt instruments.

Typically, the collateral manager in a managed CDO/CLO is deemed to be the entity that has the power to direct the activities that most affect the economics of the entity. In a static CDO/CLO this "power" role is more difficult to analyze and may be the sponsor of the entity or the CDS counterparty.

CDO/CLOs provide credit risk exposure to a portfolio of ABS or loans (cash CDO/CLOs) or a reference portfolio of securities or loans (synthetic CDO/CLOs). Cash CDO/CLO transactions hold actual securities or loans whereas synthetic CDO/CLO transactions use CDS to exchange the underlying credit risk instead of using cash assets. The Group may also act as a derivative counterparty to the VIEs, which are typically not variable interests, and may invest in portions of the notes or equity issued by the VIEs. The CDO/CLO entities may have actively managed portfolios or static portfolios.

The securities issued by these VIEs are payable solely from the cash flows of the related collateral, and third-party creditors of these VIEs do not have recourse to the Group in the event of default.

The Group's exposure in CDO/CLO transactions is typically limited to interests retained in connection with its underwriting or market-making activities. Unless the Group has been deemed to have "power" over the entity and these interests are potentially significant, the Group is not the primary beneficiary of the vehicle and does not consolidate the entity. The Group's maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risks of the VIEs.

**Commercial paper conduit**

The Group acts as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for Alpine Securitization Ltd (Alpine), a multi-seller asset-backed CP conduit used for client and Group financing purposes. Alpine discloses to CP investors certain portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to rating agencies for public ratings on its CP. This CP conduit purchases assets such as loans and receivables or enters into reverse repurchase agreements and finances such activities through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. In addition to CP, Alpine may also issue term notes with maturities up to 30 months. The Group (including Alpine) can enter into liquidity facilities with third-party entities pursuant to which it may be required to purchase assets from these entities to provide them with liquidity and credit support. The financing transactions are structured to provide credit support in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Alpine is a separate legal entity that is wholly owned by the Group. However, its assets are available to satisfy only the claims of its creditors. In addition, the Group, as administrator and liquidity facility provider, has significant exposure to and power over the activities of Alpine. Alpine is considered a VIE for accounting purposes and the Group is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates this entity.

The overall average maturity of Alpine's outstanding CP was approximately 249 days as of December 31, 2022, Alpine's CP had exposures mainly in reverse repurchase agreements with a Group entity, solar loans and leases, consumer loans and car loans and leases.

The Group's financial commitment to this CP conduit consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to provide short-term financing to the CP conduit or to purchase assets from the CP conduit in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduit cannot refinance its obligations or a default of an underlying asset. In such circumstances, the Group may be viewed as the primary beneficiary of specified assets referenced under liquidity agreements, resulting in consolidation of specified assets, which are included as part of the consolidated VIEs table. The asset-specific credit enhancements provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.

The Group enters into liquidity facilities with CP conduits administrated and sponsored by third parties. These third-party CP conduits are considered to be VIEs for accounting purposes. The Group is not the primary beneficiary and generally does not consolidate these third-party CP conduits. The Group's financial

commitment to these third-party CP conduits consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Group to provide short-term financing to the third-party CP conduits or to purchase assets from these CP conduits in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduits cannot refinance their obligations or a default of an underlying asset. As of December 31, 2022, certain liquidity facilities with third-party CP conduits referenced groups of specified assets and liabilities within a VIE for which the Group is the primary beneficiary which required consolidation. The asset-specific credit enhancements, if any, provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Group reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit. In some situations, the Group can enter into liquidity facilities with these third-party CP conduits through Alpine.

The Group's economic risks associated with the Alpine CP conduit and the third-party CP conduits are included in the Group's risk management framework including counterparty, economic risk capital and scenario analysis.

**Financial intermediation**

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients.

The Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group's risk mitigation efforts, including, but not limited to, economic hedging strategies and collateral arrangements. The Group's economic risks associated with consolidated and non-consolidated VIE exposures arising from financial intermediation, together with all relevant risk mitigation initiatives, are included in the Group's risk management framework.

Financial intermediation consists of securitizations, funds, loans, and other vehicles.

**Securitizations**

Securitizations are primarily CMBS, RMBS and ABS vehicles. The Group acts as an underwriter, market maker, liquidity provider, derivative counterparty and/or provider of credit enhancements to VIEs related to certain securitization transactions.

The maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of the loan securities and derivative positions that are variable interests, if any, plus the exposure arising from any credit enhancements the Group provided. The Group's maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risks of the VIEs.

The activities that have the most significant impact on the securitization vehicle are the decisions relating to defaulted loans, which are controlled by the servicer. The party that controls the servicing has the ability to make decisions that significantly affect the result of the activities of the securitization vehicle. If a securitization vehicle has multiple parties that control servicing over specific assets, the Group determines it has power when it has control over the servicing of greater than 50% of the assets in the securitization vehicle. When a servicer or its related party also has an economic interest that has the potential to absorb a significant portion of the gains and/or losses, it will be deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidate the vehicle. If the Group determines that it controls the relevant servicing, it then determines if it has the obligation to absorb losses from, or the right to receive benefits of, the securitization vehicle that could potentially be significant to the vehicle, primarily by evaluating the amount and nature of securities issued by the vehicle that it holds. Factors considered in this analysis include the level of subordination of the securities held as well as the size of the position, based on the percentage of the class of securities and the total deal classes of securities issued. The more subordinated the level of securities held, the more likely it is that the Group will be the primary beneficiary. This consolidation analysis is performed each reporting period based on changes in inventory and the levels of assets remaining in the securitization. The Group typically consolidates securitization vehicles when it is the servicer and has holdings stemming from its role as underwriter. Short-term market-making holdings in vehicles are not typically considered to be potentially significant for the purposes of this assessment.

In the case of re-securitizations of previously issued RMBS securities, the re-securitization vehicles are passive in nature and do not have any significant ongoing activities that require management, and decisions relating to the design of the securitization transaction at its inception are the key power relating to the vehicle. Activities at inception include selecting the assets and determining the capital structure. The power over a re-securitization vehicle is typically shared between the Group and the investor(s) involved in the design and creation of the vehicle. The Group concludes that it is the primary beneficiary of a re-securitization vehicle when it owns substantially all of the bonds issued from the vehicle.

**Funds**

Funds include investment structures such as mutual funds, funds of funds, private equity funds and fund-linked products where the investors' interest is typically in the form of debt rather than equity, thereby making them VIEs. The Group may have various relationships with such VIEs in the form of structurer, investment advisor, investment manager, administrator, custodian, underwriter, placement agent, market maker and/or as prime broker. These activities include the use of VIEs in structuring fund-linked products, hedge funds of funds or private equity investments to provide clients with investment opportunities in alternative investments. In such transactions, a VIE holds underlying investments and issues securities that provide the investors with a return based on the performance of those investments.

The maximum exposure to loss consists of the fair value of instruments issued by such structures that are held by the Group as a result of underwriting or market-making activities, financing provided to the vehicles and the Group's exposure resulting from principal protection and redemptions features. The investors typically retain the risk of loss on such transactions, but for certain fund types, the Group may provide principal protection on the securities to limit the investors' exposure to downside market risk. The Group's maximum exposure to loss does not include any effects from financial instruments used to economically hedge the risk of the VIEs.

Another model is used to assess funds for consolidation under US GAAP. Rather than the consolidation model which incorporates power and the potential to absorb significant risk and rewards, a previous consolidation model is used which results in the Group being the primary beneficiary and consolidating the funds if it holds more than 50% of their outstanding issuances.

**Loans**

The Group provides loans to financing vehicles owned or sponsored by clients or third-parties. These tailored lending arrangements are established to purchase, lease or otherwise finance and manage clients' assets and include financing of specified client assets, of an individual single-asset used by the client or business ventures. The respective owner of the assets or manager of the businesses provides the equity in the vehicle.

The maximum exposure to loss is the carrying value of the Group's loan exposure, which is subject to the same credit risk management procedures as loans issued directly to clients. The clients' creditworthiness is carefully reviewed, loan-to-value ratios are strictly set and, in addition, clients provide equity, additional collateral or guarantees, all of which significantly reduce the Group's exposure. The Group considers the likelihood of incurring a loss equal to the maximum exposure to be remote because of the Group's risk mitigation efforts, which includes over-collateralization and effective monitoring to ensure that a sufficient loan-to-value ratio is maintained.

The third-party sponsor of the VIE will typically have control over the assets during the life of the structure and have the potential to absorb significant gains and losses; the Group is typically not the primary beneficiary of these structures and will not have to consolidate them. However, a change in the structure, such as a default of the sponsor, may result in the Group gaining control over the assets. If the Group's lending is significant, it may then be required to consolidate the entity.

**Other**

Other includes additional vehicles where the Group provides financing and trust preferred issuance vehicles. Trust preferred issuance vehicles are utilized to assist the Group in raising capital-efficient financing. The VIE issues preference shares which are guaranteed by the Group and uses the proceeds to purchase the debt of the Group. The Group's guarantee of its own debt is not considered a variable interest and, as it has no holdings in these vehicles, the Group has no maximum exposure to loss. Non-consolidated VIEs include only the total assets of trust preferred issuance vehicles, as the Group has no variable interests with these entities.

**Consolidated VIEs**

The Group has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. The Group consolidates all VIEs related to financial intermediation for which it is the primary beneficiary.

The consolidated VIEs table provides the carrying amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

**Non-consolidated VIEs**

The non-consolidated VIEs table provides the carrying amounts and classification of the assets of variable interests recorded in the Group's consolidated balance sheets, maximum exposure to loss and total assets of the non-consolidated VIEs.

Total variable interest assets for which the company has involvement represent the carrying value of the variable interests in non-consolidated VIEs that are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group (for example, direct holdings in investment funds, loans and other receivables).

Maximum exposure to loss represents the carrying value of total variable interest assets in non-consolidated VIEs of the Group and the notional amounts of guarantees and off-balance sheet commitments which are variable interests that have been extended to non-consolidated VIEs. Such amounts, particularly notional amounts of derivatives, guarantees and off-balance sheet commitments, do not represent the anticipated losses in connection with these transactions as they do not take into consideration the effect of collateral, recoveries or the probability of loss. In addition, they exclude the effect of offsetting financial instruments that are held to mitigate these risks and have not been reduced by unrealized losses previously recorded by the Group in connection with guarantees, off-balance sheet commitments or derivatives.

Total assets of non-consolidated VIEs are the assets of the non-consolidated VIEs themselves and are typically unrelated to the exposures the Group has with these entities due to variable interests held by third-party investors. Accordingly, these amounts are not considered for risk management purposes.

Certain VIEs have not been included in the following table, including VIEs structured by third parties in which the Group's interest is in the form of securities held in the Group's inventory, certain repurchase financings to funds and single-asset financing vehicles not sponsored by the Group to which the Group provides financing but has very little risk of loss due to over-collateralization and/or guarantees, failed sales where the Group does not have any other holdings and other entities out of scope.

36 Financial instruments

The disclosure of the Group's financial instruments includes the following sections:

■ Concentration of credit risk;

■ Fair value measurement (including fair value hierarchy, level 3 reconciliation; transfers in and out of level 3; qualitative and quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques; qualitative discussion of the range of significant unobservable inputs; and investment funds measured at net asset value per share);

■ Fair value option; and

■ Financial instruments not carried at fair value.

Concentration of credit risk

Credit risk concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or when there are similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly impacted by changes in economic conditions.

The Group has in place a credit risk appetite framework which provides for the oversight and control of concentrations of credit exposures by single name, product, industry, and country. The Group Credit Portfolio Management function under the Global Chief Credit Officer is responsible for monitoring the portfolio and assessing compliance with the framework and the portfolio limits and controls in place. Credit risk concentrations are identified and measured using a range of quantitative tools and metrics and are reported to the Credit Risk Appetite Committee on a monthly basis. The Group Credit Portfolio Management function performs portfolio reviews and detailed analyses of selected segments of the portfolio which are presented to the Credit Risk Appetite Committee and to other governance forums, including the Executive Board Risk Management Committee and the Board's Risk Committee, where appropriate.

From an industry point of view, the combined credit exposure of the Group is diversified. A substantial portion of the credit exposure is with individual clients, particularly through residential mortgages in Switzerland, corporate credit exposures and lombard lending arrangements, or relates to derivative and other financial transactions with financial institutions. In both cases, the customer base is extensive and the number and variety of transactions are broad. For transactions with financial institutions and corporations, the business is also geographically diverse, with operations focused in the Americas, Europe and, to a lesser extent, Asia Pacific.

Fair value measurement

A significant portion of the Group's financial instruments is carried at fair value. Deterioration of financial markets could significantly impact the fair value of these financial instruments and the results of operations.

The fair value of the majority of the Group's financial instruments is based on quoted prices in active markets or observable inputs. These instruments include government and agency securities, certain short-term borrowings, most investment grade corporate debt, certain high yield debt securities, exchange-traded and certain OTC derivatives and most listed equity securities.

In addition, the Group holds financial instruments for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs. For these instruments, the determination of fair value requires subjective assessment and judgment, depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. In such circumstances, valuation is determined based on management's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. These instruments include certain OTC derivatives, including interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and credit derivatives, certain corporate equity-linked securities, mortgage-related securities, private equity investments and certain loans and credit products, including leveraged finance, certain syndicated loans and certain high yield bonds, and life finance instruments. The fair value measurement disclosures exclude derivative transactions that are daily settled.

The fair value of financial instruments is impacted by factors such as benchmark interest rates, prices of financial instruments issued by third parties, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and index prices or rates. In addition, valuation adjustments are an integral part of the valuation process when market prices are not indicative of the credit quality of a counterparty, and are applied to both OTC derivatives and debt instruments. The impact of changes in a counterparty's credit spreads (known as credit valuation adjustments) is considered when measuring the fair value of assets, and the impact of changes in the Group's own credit spreads (known as debit valuation adjustments) is considered when measuring the fair value of its liabilities. For OTC derivatives, the impact of changes in both the Group's and the counterparty's credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current CDS prices. The adjustments also take into account contractual factors designed to reduce the Group's credit exposure to a counterparty, such as collateral held and master netting agreements. For hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features, the impact of changes in the Group's credit standing is considered when measuring their fair value, based on current funded debt spreads.

US GAAP permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position or paid to transfer a net short position for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, the Group continues to apply bid and offer adjustments to net portfolios of cash securities and/or derivative instruments to adjust the value of the net position from a mid-market price to the appropriate bid or offer level that would be realized under normal market conditions for the net long or net short position for a specific market risk. In addition, the Group reflects the net exposure to credit risk for its derivative instruments where the Group has legally enforceable agreements with its counterparties that mitigate credit risk exposure in the event of default.

Valuation adjustments are recorded in a reasonable and consistent manner that results in an allocation to the relevant disclosures in the notes to the financial statements as if the valuation adjustment had been allocated to the individual unit of account.

**Fair value hierarchy**

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

■ Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group has the ability to access. This level of the fair value hierarchy provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available.

■ Level 2*:* Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is publicly available; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

■ Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Group's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Group's own data. The Group's own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

The Group records net open positions at bid prices if long, or at ask prices if short, unless the Group is a market maker in such positions, in which case mid-pricing is utilized. Fair value measurements are not adjusted for transaction costs.

**Qualitative disclosures of valuation techniques**

**Overview**

The Group has implemented and maintains a valuation control framework, which is supported by policies and procedures that define the principles for controlling the valuation of the Group's financial instruments. Control functions such as Product Control and Risk Management review and approve significant valuation policies and procedures. The framework includes three main internal processes: (i) valuation governance; (ii) independent price verification and significant unobservable inputs review; and (iii) a cross-functional pricing model review. Through this framework, the Group determines the reasonableness of the fair value of its financial instruments.

On a monthly basis, meetings are held for each business line with senior representatives of the Front Office and Product Control to discuss independent price verification results, valuation adjustments, and other significant valuation issues. On a quarterly basis, a review of significant changes in the fair value of financial instruments is undertaken by Product Control and conclusions are reached regarding the reasonableness of those changes. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, meetings are held for each business line with senior representatives of the Front Office and control functions such as Product Control and Risk Management to discuss independent price verification results, valuation issues, business and market updates, as well as a review of significant changes in fair value from the prior quarter, significant unobservable inputs and prices used in valuation techniques, and valuation adjustments.

The valuation results are aggregated for reporting to the Valuation Risk Management Committee (VARMC) and the Audit Committee. The VARMC, which is comprised of Executive Board members and the heads of the business and control functions, meets to review and ratify valuation review conclusions, and to resolve significant valuation issues for the Group. Oversight of the valuation control framework is through specific and regular reporting on valuation directly to the Group's Executive Board through the VARMC.

One of the key components of the governance process is the segregation of duties between the Front Office and Product Control. The Front Office is responsible for measuring inventory at fair value on a daily basis, while Product Control is responsible for independently reviewing and validating those valuations on a periodic basis. The Front Office values the inventory using, wherever possible, observable market data which may include executed transactions, dealer quotes or broker quotes for the same or similar instruments. Product Control validates this inventory using independently sourced data that also includes executed transactions, dealer quotes, and broker quotes.

In general, Product Control utilizes independent pricing service data as part of its review process. Independent pricing service

data is analyzed to ensure that it is representative of fair value, including confirming that the data corresponds to executed transactions or executable broker quotes, review and assessment of contributors to ensure they are active market participants, review of statistical data and utilization of pricing challenges. The analysis also includes understanding the sources of the pricing service data and any models or assumptions used in determining the results. The purpose of the review is to judge the quality and reliability of the data for fair value measurement purposes and its appropriate level of usage within the Product Control independent valuation review.

For certain financial instruments the fair value is estimated in full or in part using valuation techniques based on assumptions that are not supported by market observable prices, rates or other inputs. In addition, there may be uncertainty about a valuation resulting from the choice of valuation technique or model used, the assumptions embedded in those models, the extent to which inputs are not market observable, or as a consequence of other elements affecting the valuation technique or model. Model calibration is performed when significant new market information becomes available or at a minimum on a quarterly basis as part of the business review of significant unobservable inputs for level 3 instruments. For models that have been deemed to be significant to the overall fair value of the financial instrument, model validation is performed as part of the periodic review of the related model.

The following information on the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the various financial instruments and the section "Uncertainty of fair value measurements at the reporting date from the use of significant unobservable inputs" should be read in conjunction with the tables "Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis", "Quantitative information about level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis" and "Quantitative information about level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis".

**Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions**

Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are measured at fair value using discounted cash flow analysis. Future cash flows are discounted using observable market interest rate repurchase/resale curves for the applicable maturity and underlying collateral of the instruments. As such, the significant majority of both securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Structured resale and repurchase agreements include embedded derivatives, which are measured using the same techniques as described below for stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships. If the value of the embedded derivative is determined using significant unobservable inputs, those structured resale and repurchase agreements included are classified as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable input is funding spread.

Securities purchased under resale agreements are usually fully collateralized or over-collateralized by government securities, money market instruments, corporate bonds, or other debt instruments. In the event of counterparty default, the collateral service agreement provides the Group with the right to liquidate the collateral held.

**Debt securities**

**Foreign governments**

Foreign government debt securities typically have quoted prices in active markets and are mainly categorized as level 1 instruments. Valuations of foreign government debt securities for which market prices are not available are based on yields reflecting credit rating, historical performance, delinquencies, loss severity, the maturity of the security, recent transactions in the market or other modeling techniques, which may involve judgment. Those securities where the price or model inputs are observable in the market are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those securities where prices are not observable and significant model inputs are unobservable are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Corporates**

Corporate bonds are priced to reflect current market levels either through recent market transactions or broker or dealer quotes. Where a market price for the particular security is not directly available, valuations are obtained based on yields reflected by other instruments in the specific or similar entity's capital structure and adjusting for differences in seniority and maturity, benchmarking to a comparable security where market data is available (taking into consideration differences in credit, liquidity and maturity), or through the application of cash flow modeling techniques utilizing observable inputs, such as current interest rate curves and observable CDS spreads. Significant unobservable inputs may include correlation and price. For securities using market comparable price, the differentiation between level 2 and level 3 is based upon the relative significance of any yield adjustments as well as the accuracy of the comparison characteristics (i.e., the observable comparable security may be in the same country but a different industry and may have a different seniority level – the lower the comparability the more likely the security will be level 3).

**RMBS, CMBS and CDO securities**

Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO may be available through quoted prices, which are often based on the prices at which similarly structured and collateralized securities trade between dealers and to and from customers. Fair values of RMBS, CMBS and CDO for which there are significant unobservable inputs are valued using capitalization rate and discount rate. Price may not be observable for fair value measurement purposes for many reasons, such as the length of time since the last executed transaction for the related security, use of a price from a similar instrument, or use of a price from an indicative quote. Fair values determined by market comparable price may include discounted cash flow models using the inputs credit spread, default rate, discount rate, prepayment rate and loss severity. Prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted

cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness.

For most structured debt securities, determination of fair value requires subjective assessment depending on liquidity, ownership concentration, and the current economic and competitive environment. Valuation is determined based on the Front Office's own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset. Collateralized bond and loan obligations are split into various structured tranches and each tranche is valued based upon its individual rating and the underlying collateral supporting the structure. Valuation models are used to value both cash and synthetic CDOs.

**Equity securities**

The majority of the Group's positions in equity securities are traded on public stock exchanges for which quoted prices are readily and regularly available and are therefore categorized as level 1 instruments. Level 2 and level 3 equities include fund-linked products, convertible bonds or equity securities with restrictions that are not traded in active markets. Significant unobservable inputs may include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple and market comparable price.

**Derivatives**

Derivatives held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships include both OTC and exchange-traded derivatives. The fair values of exchange-traded derivatives measured using observable exchange prices are included in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For exchange-traded derivatives where the volume of trading is low, the observable exchange prices may not be considered executable at the reporting date. These derivatives are valued in the same manner as similar OTC derivatives with observable inputs to valuation and are included in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. If the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the similar OTC derivative are not observable, the exchange-traded derivative is included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair values of OTC derivatives are determined on the basis of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models. Both model types use various observable and unobservable inputs in order to determine fair value. The inputs include those characteristics of the derivative that have a bearing on the economics of the instrument. The determination of the fair value of many derivatives involves only a limited degree of subjectivity because the required inputs are observable in the marketplace, while more complex derivatives may use unobservable inputs that rely on specific proprietary modeling assumptions. Where observable inputs (prices from exchanges, dealers, brokers or market consensus data providers) are not available, attempts are made to infer values from observable prices through model calibration (spot and forward rates, mean reversion, benchmark interest rate curves and volatility inputs for commonly traded option products). For inputs that cannot be derived from other sources, estimates from historical data may be made. OTC derivatives where the majority of the value is derived from market observable inputs are categorized as level 2 instruments, while those where the majority of the value is derived from unobservable inputs are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The valuation of derivatives includes an adjustment for the cost of funding uncollateralized OTC derivatives.

**Interest rate derivatives**

OTC vanilla interest rate products, such as interest rate swaps, swaptions and caps and floors are valued by discounting the anticipated future cash flows. The future cash flows and discounting are derived from market standard yield curves and industry standard volatility inputs. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used to value exchange-traded futures and options and can be used in yield curve construction. For more complex products, inputs include, but are not limited to basis spread, correlation, credit spread, prepayment rate and volatility skew.

**Foreign exchange derivatives**

Foreign exchange derivatives include vanilla products such as spot, forward and option contracts where the anticipated discounted future cash flows are determined from foreign exchange forward curves and industry standard optionality modeling techniques. Where applicable, exchange-traded prices are also used for futures and option prices. For more complex products inputs include, but are not limited to, contingent probability, correlation and prepayment rate.

**Equity and index-related derivatives**

Equity derivatives include a variety of products ranging from vanilla options and swaps to exotic structures with bespoke payoff profiles. The main inputs in the valuation of equity derivatives may include buyback probability, correlation, gap risk, price and volatility.

Generally, the interrelationship between the correlation and volatility is positively correlated.

**Credit derivatives**

Credit derivatives include index, single-name and multi-name CDS in addition to more complex structured credit products. Vanilla products are valued using industry standard models and inputs that are generally market observable including credit spread and recovery rate.

Complex structured credit derivatives are valued using proprietary models requiring inputs such as correlation, credit spread, funding spread, loss severity, prepayment rate and recovery rate. These inputs are generally implied from available market observable data.

**Other trading assets**

Other trading assets primarily include life settlement and premium finance instruments and RMBS loans. Life settlement and premium finance instruments are valued using proprietary models with several inputs. The significant unobservable inputs of the fair

value for life settlement and premium finance instruments is the estimate of market implied life expectancy, while for RMBS loans it is market comparable price.

For life settlement and premium finance instruments, individual life expectancy rates are typically obtained by multiplying a base mortality curve for the general insured population provided by a professional actuarial organization together with an individual-specific multiplier. Individual-specific multipliers are determined based on data from third-party life expectancy data providers, which examine the insured individual's medical conditions, family history and other factors to arrive at a life expectancy estimate.

For RMBS loans, the use of market comparable price varies depending upon each specific loan. For some loans, similar to unobservable RMBS securities, prices from similar observable instruments are used to calculate implied inputs which are then used to value unobservable instruments using discounted cash flow. The discounted cash flow price is then compared to the unobservable prices and assessed for reasonableness. For other RMBS loans, the loans are categorized by specific characteristics, such as loan-to-value ratio, average account balance, loan type (single or multi-family), lien, seasoning, coupon, FICO score, locality, delinquency status, cash flow velocity, roll rates, loan purpose, occupancy, servicers advance agreement type, modification status, Federal Housing Administration insurance, property value and documentation quality. Loans with unobservable prices are put into consistent buckets which are then compared to market observable comparable prices in order to assess the reasonableness of those unobservable prices.

**Other investments**

**Private equity funds, hedge funds and equity method investment funds**

Equity method investment funds principally include equity investments in the form of a) direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds, b) equity method investments where the Group has the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee, and c) direct investments in non-marketable equity securities.

Direct investments in third-party hedge funds, private equity funds and funds of funds are measured at fair value based on their published NAVs as permitted by ASC Topic 820 – Fair Value Measurement. In some cases, NAVs may be adjusted where there is sufficient evidence that the NAV published by the investment manager is not in line with the fund's observable market data, it is probable that the investment will be sold for an amount other than NAV or other circumstances exist that would require an adjustment to the published NAV. Although rarely adjusted, significant judgment is involved in making any adjustments to the published NAVs. The investments for which the fair value is measured using the NAV practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.

Direct investments in non-marketable equity securities consist of both real estate investments and non-real estate investments. Equity-method investments and direct investments in non-marketable equity securities are initially measured at their transaction price, as this is the best estimate of fair value. Thereafter, these investments are individually measured at fair value based upon a number of factors that include any recent rounds of financing involving third-party investors, comparable company transactions, multiple analyses of cash flows or book values, or discounted cash flow analyses. The availability of information used in these modeling techniques is often limited and involves significant judgment in evaluating these different factors over time. As a result, these investments are included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Life finance instruments**

Life finance instruments include single premium immediate annuities (SPIA) and other premium finance instruments. Life finance instruments are valued in a similar manner as described for life settlement and premium finance instruments under the other trading assets section above.

**Loans**

The Group's loan portfolio which is measured at fair value primarily consists of commercial and industrial loans and loans to financial institutions. Within these categories, loans measured at fair value include commercial loans, real estate loans, corporate loans, leverage finance loans and emerging market loans. Fair value is based on recent transactions and quoted prices, where available. Where recent transactions and quoted prices are not available, fair value may be determined by relative value benchmarking (which includes pricing based upon another position in the same capital structure, other comparable loan issues, generic industry credit spreads, implied credit spreads derived from CDS for the specific borrower, and enterprise valuations) or calculated based on the exit price of the collateral, based on current market conditions.

Both the funded and unfunded portion of revolving credit lines on the corporate lending portfolio are valued using a loan pricing model, which requires estimates of significant inputs including credit conversion factors, credit spreads, recovery rates and weighted average life of the loan. Significant unobservable inputs may include credit spread and price.

The Group's other assets and liabilities include mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities and assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The fair value of mortgage loans held in conjunction with securitization activities is determined on a whole-loan basis and is consistent with the valuation of RMBS loans discussed in "Other trading assets" above. Whole-loan valuations are calculated based on the exit price reflecting the current market conditions. The fair value of assets and liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP are determined based on the quoted prices for securitized bonds, where available, or on cash flow analyses for securitized bonds, when quoted prices are not available. The fair value of the consolidated

financial assets of RMBS and CMBS securitization vehicles, which qualify as collateralized financing entities, are measured on the basis of the more observable fair value of the VIEs' financial liabilities.

**Short-term borrowings and long-term debt**

The Group's short-term borrowings and long-term debt include structured notes (hybrid financial instruments that are both bifurcatable and non-bifurcatable) and vanilla debt. The fair value of structured notes is based on quoted prices, where available. When quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow model incorporating the Group's credit spreads, the value of derivatives embedded in the debt and the residual term of the issuance based on call options. Derivatives structured into the issued debt are valued consistently with the Group's stand-alone derivative contracts held for trading purposes or used in hedge accounting relationships as discussed above. The fair value of structured debt is heavily influenced by the combined call options and performance of the underlying derivative returns. Significant unobservable inputs for short-term borrowings and long-term debt include buyback probability, correlation, credit spread, gap risk, mean reversion, price, recovery rate and volatility.

Generally, the interrelationships between correlation, credit spread, gap risk and volatility inputs are positively correlated.

**Other liabilities**

**Failed sales**

These liabilities represent the financing of assets that did not achieve sale accounting treatment under US GAAP. Failed sales are valued in a manner consistent with the related underlying financial instruments.

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that have been classified within level 3. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities within level 3 presented in the table above may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

The Group employs various economic hedging techniques in order to manage risks, including risks in level 3 positions. Such techniques may include the purchase or sale of financial instruments that are classified in levels 1 and/or 2. The realized and unrealized gains and losses for assets and liabilities in level 3 presented in the table above do not reflect the related realized or unrealized gains and losses arising on economic hedging instruments classified in levels 1 and/or 2.

The Group typically uses nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis in a manner that reflects their highest and best use.

**Transfers in and out of level 3**

Transfers into level 3 assets during 2022 were CHF 3,092 million, primarily from trading assets, loans and loans held-for-sale. The transfers were primarily in the GTS, securitized products and APAC Financing Group businesses due to limited observability of pricing data and reduced pricing information from external providers. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 2022 were CHF 2,829 million, primarily in trading assets, loans and loans held-for-sale. The transfers out of level 3 assets were primarily in the GTS and securitized products businesses due to improved observability of pricing data and increased availability of pricing information from external providers.

Transfers into level 3 liabilities during 2022 were CHF 5,202 million, primarily from long-term debt and trading liabilities. These transfers were primarily in structured notes over two years and derivatives arising from a change in the observability of pricing data. Transfers out of level 3 liabilities of CHF 8,979 million in 2022 were primarily from long-term debt and trading liabilities. These transfers were primarily in structured notes over two years and derivatives arising from a change in the observability of pricing data.

Transfers into level 3 assets during 2021 were CHF 2,071 million, primarily from trading assets and loans held-for-sale. The transfers were primarily in the GTS, credit and securitized products businesses due to limited observability of pricing data and reduced pricing information from external providers. Transfers out of level 3 assets during 2021 were CHF 6,388 million, primarily in trading assets, loans and loans held-for-sale. The transfers out of level 3 assets were primarily in the GTS, securitized products and Asia Pacific strategic products businesses due to improved observability of pricing data and increased availability of pricing information from external providers.

**Uncertainty of fair value measurements at the reporting date from the use of significant unobservable inputs**

For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of buyback probability, contingent probability, dividend yield, funding spread, mortality rate, price, recovery rate, UK mortality, unadjusted NAV and volatility, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would increase the fair value. For level 3 assets with a significant unobservable input of correlation, credit spread, default rate, discount rate, fund gap risk, gap risk, market implied life expectancy (for life settlement and premium finance instruments), mean reversion, prepayment rate and tax swap rate, in general, an increase in the significant unobservable input would decrease the fair value.

For level 3 liabilities, in general, an increase in the related significant unobservable inputs would have the inverse impact on fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable input contingent probability, credit spread, fund gap risk, gap risk, market implied life expectancy (for life settlement and premium finance instruments), mortality rate and price would increase the fair value. An increase in the significant unobservable input buyback probability, correlation, discount rate, dividend yield, mean reversion, prepayment rate, recovery rate, UK mortality, unadjusted NAV and volatility would decrease the fair value.

**Interrelationships between significant unobservable inputs**

Except as noted above, there are no material interrelationships between the significant unobservable inputs for the financial instruments. As the significant unobservable inputs move independently, generally an increase or decrease in one significant unobservable input will have no impact on the other significant unobservable inputs.

**Quantitative disclosures of valuation techniques**

The following tables provide the representative range of minimum and maximum values and the associated weighted averages of each significant unobservable input for level 3 assets and liabilities by the related valuation technique most significant to the related financial instrument.

**Qualitative discussion of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs**

The following sections provide further information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs included in the tables above. The level of aggregation and diversity within the financial instruments disclosed in the tables above results in certain ranges of significant inputs being wide and unevenly distributed across asset and liability categories.

**Basis spread**

Basis spread is the primary significant unobservable input for non-callable constant maturity treasury-constant maturity swap (CMS) products and is used to determine interest rate risk as a result of differing lending and borrowing rates.

**Buyback probability**

Buyback probability is the probability assigned to structured notes being unwound prior to their legal maturity.

**CDS scale**

CDS scale is a valuation parameter which scales the referenced credit curve (base currency) to reflect a new credit curve representing the currency of the trade.

**Contingent probability**

Contingent probability is the primary significant unobservable input for contingent foreign exchange forward trades where the delivery or exercise and the premium payment are contingent on an event such as completion of an M&A deal or regulatory approval for a product.

**Correlation**

There are many different types of correlation inputs, including credit correlation, cross-asset correlation (such as equity-interest rate correlation) and same-asset correlation (such as interest rate-interest rate correlation). Correlation inputs are generally used to value hybrid and exotic instruments. Due to the complex and unique nature of these instruments, the ranges for correlation inputs can vary widely across portfolios.

**Credit spread and recovery rate**

For financial instruments where credit spread is the significant unobservable input, the wide range represents positions with varying levels of risk. The lower end of the credit spread range typically represents shorter-dated instruments and/or those with better perceived credit risk. The higher end of the range typically comprises longer-dated financial instruments or those referencing non-performing, distressed or impaired reference credits. Similarly, the spread between the reference credit and an index can vary significantly based on the risk of the instrument. The spread will be positive for instruments that have a higher risk of default than the index (which is based on a weighted average of its components) and negative for instruments that have a lower risk of default than the index.

Similarly, recovery rates can vary significantly depending upon the specific assets and terms of each transaction. Transactions with higher seniority or more valuable collateral will have higher recovery rates, while those transactions which are more subordinated or with less valuable collateral will have lower recovery rates.

**Default rate and loss severity**

For financial instruments backed by residential real estate or other assets, diversity in the portfolio is reflected in a wide range for loss severity due to varying levels of default. The lower end of the range represents high performing or government guaranteed collateral with a low PD or guaranteed timely payment of principal and interest, while the higher end of the range relates to collateral with a greater risk of default.

**Discount rate**

The discount rate is the rate of interest used to calculate the present value of the expected cash flows of a financial instrument. There are multiple factors that will impact the discount rate for any given financial instrument including the coupon on the instrument, the term and the underlying risk of the expected cash flows. Two instruments of similar term and expected cash flows may have significantly different discount rates because the coupons on the instruments are different.

**Dividend yield**

An equity forward price is a material component for measuring the fair value of a contract using forward, swap or option pricing models. The forward is generally constructed from expected future dividend payments and their timing, as well as the relevant funding rate for the given asset. Dividend yields are generally quoted as annualized percentages.

**EBITDA multiple**

EBITDA multiple is a primary significant unobservable input for some equity deals which are benchmarked using industry comparables. The EBITDA multiple may be preferred over other measures because it is normalized for differences between the accounting policies of similar companies.

**Funding gap risk and gap risk**

Gap risk is a significant unobservable input for structures that exhibit market risk to jumps in a reference asset, generally related to certain financing or principal protection trade features.

**Funding spread**

Funding spread is the primary significant unobservable input for special purpose vehicle funding facilities. Synthetic funding curves which represent the assets pledged as collateral are used to value structured financing transactions. The curves provide an estimate of where secured funding can be sourced and are expressed as a basis point spread in relation to the referenced benchmark rate.

**Market implied life expectancy**

Market implied life expectancy is the primary significant unobservable input on such products as life settlement, premium finance and SPIA, and represents the estimated mortality rate for the underlying insured for each contract. This estimate may vary depending upon multiple factors including the age and specific health characteristics of the insured.

**Market price of risk**

The market price of risk (MPR) is a significant unobservable input for synthetic credit products where the trades are valued using the rating-based historical default probabilities. MPR is an exponent applied to the historic default probabilities in order to bring the initial swap valuation to zero.

**Mean reversion**

Mean reversion is the primary significant unobservable input for callable CMS spread exotics and represents the idea that prices and returns eventually move back towards the historical average.

**Mortality rate**

Mortality rate is the primary significant unobservable input for pension swaps. The expected present value of future cash flow of the trades depend on the mortality of individuals in the pension fund who are grouped into categories such as gender, age, pension amount and other factors. In some cases mortality rates include a "scaler" (also referred to as a loading or multiplier) that align mortality projections with historical experience and calibrate to exit level.

**Pre-IPO intrinsic option**

Pre-IPO intrinsic option represents the share price of a company in advance of its listing on a public exchange. It is typically a discounted price from the IPO price.

**Prepayment rate**

Prepayment rates may vary from collateral pool to collateral pool, and are driven by a variety of collateral-specific factors, including the type and location of the underlying borrower, the remaining tenor of the obligation and the level and type (e.g., fixed or floating) of interest rate being paid by the borrower.

**Price**

Bond equivalent price is a primary significant unobservable input for multiple products. Where market prices are not available for an instrument, benchmarking may be utilized to identify comparable issues (same industry and similar product mixes) while adjustments are considered for differences in deal terms and performance.

**Settlement lag extension** 

For synthetic ABS CDO single tranche trades, settlement lag extension is an unobservable input that represents the delay that may occur between protection buyer calling a credit event and physically receiving the settlement cash from the swap counterparty.

**Tax swap rate**

The tax swap rate parameter is the interest rate applicable to tax refunds from the Italian tax office, determined annually by the Italian tax authorities and payable to the claimant when refund is made.

**Terminal growth rate**

The terminal growth rate is the rate at which free cash flows are expected to grow in perpetuity as part of an overall firm valuation process. The terminal growth rate typically parallels the historical inflation rate (2-3%) and is applied to the discounted cash flow model to represent mature stage company valuation.

**UK Mortality**

UK Mortality is marked using Day-1 Mortality improvements, Mortality Base Tables, and Mortality floor calibrated to reinsurance exit PV by set of Qx Scalars or Multipliers. UK Mortality is updated annually based on changes to 'Multipliers' calibrated to actual vs expected pensioner maturities observed for respective pension scheme.

**Unadjusted NAV**

NAV values are used to price fund units and as an input into fund derivatives. They are considered unobservable when based on NAV statements or estimates received directly from the fund, as opposed to published on a broad market platform, or with a lag to the reporting date.

**Volatility and volatility skew**

Volatility and its skew are both impacted by the underlying risk, term and strike price of the derivative. In the case of interest rate derivatives, volatility may vary significantly between different underlying currencies and expiration dates on the options. Similarly, in the case of equity derivatives, the volatility attributed to a structure may vary depending upon the underlying reference name on the derivative.

**Investment funds measured at net asset value per share**

Investments in funds held in trading assets and trading liabilities primarily include positions held in equity funds of funds as an economic hedge for structured notes and derivatives issued to clients that reference the same underlying risk and liquidity terms of the fund. A majority of these funds have limitations imposed on the amount of withdrawals from the fund during the redemption period due to illiquidity of the investments. In other instances, the withdrawal amounts may vary depending on the redemption notice period and are usually larger for the longer redemption notice periods. In addition, penalties may apply if redemption is within a certain time period from initial investment.

Investments in funds held in other investments principally involves private equity securities and, to a lesser extent, publicly traded securities and fund of funds. Several of these investments have redemption restrictions subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the fund and/or redemption is permitted without restriction, but is limited to a certain percentage of total assets or only after a certain date.

The following table pertains to investments in certain entities that calculate NAV per share or its equivalent, primarily private equity and hedge funds. These investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and are measured at fair value using NAV.

**Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis**

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Nonrecurring measurements reported are as of the end of the period, unless otherwise stated. The market value for loans held-for-sale and commitments held-for-sale is determined by benchmarking to comparable instruments.

The following table provides the fair value and the fair value hierarchy of all assets and liabilities that were held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, for which a nonrecurring fair value measurement was recorded.

Fair value option

The Group has availed itself of the simplification in accounting offered under the fair value option. This has been accomplished generally by electing the fair value option, both at initial adoption and for subsequent transactions, on items impacted by the hedge accounting requirements of US GAAP. For instruments for which hedge accounting could not be achieved but for which the Group is economically hedged, the Group has generally elected the fair value option. Where the Group manages an activity on a fair value basis but previously has been unable to achieve fair value accounting, the Group has generally utilized the fair value option to align its financial accounting to its risk management reporting.

The Group elected fair value for certain of its financial statement captions as follows:

**Central bank funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowing transactions**

The Group has elected to account for structured resale agreements and most matched book resale agreements at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis; thus, fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. The Group did not elect the fair value option for firm financing resale agreements as these agreements are generally overnight agreements which approximate fair value, but which are not managed on a fair value basis.

**Other investments**

The Group has elected to account for certain equity method investments at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis; thus, fair value accounting is deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes.

**Loans**

The Group has elected to account for substantially all commercial loans and loan commitments from the investment banking businesses and certain emerging market loans from the investment banking businesses at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis and fair value accounting was deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. Additionally, recognition on a fair value basis eliminates the mismatch that existed due to the economic hedging the Group employs to manage these loans. Certain similar loans, such as project finance, lease finance, cash collateralized and some bridge loans, which were eligible for the fair value option, were not elected due to the lack of currently available infrastructure to fair value such loans and/or the inability to economically hedge such loans. Additionally, the Group elected not to account for loans granted by its private, corporate and institutional banking businesses at fair value, such as domestic consumer lending, mortgages and corporate loans, as these loans are not managed on a fair value basis.

**Other assets**

The Group elected the fair value option for loans held-for-sale, due to the short period over which such loans are held and the intention to sell such loans in the near term. Other assets also include assets of VIEs and mortgage securitizations which do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The Group did elect the fair value option for these types of transactions.

**Due to banks and customer deposits**

The Group elected the fair value option for certain time deposits associated with its emerging markets activities. The Group's customer deposits include fund-linked deposits. The Group elected the fair value option for these fund-linked deposits. Fund-linked products are managed on a fair value basis and fair value accounting was deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes.

**Central bank funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions**

The Group has elected to account for structured repurchase agreements and most matched book repurchase agreements at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis and fair value accounting was deemed more appropriate for reporting purposes. The Group did not elect the fair value option for firm financing repurchase agreements as these agreements are generally overnight agreements which approximate fair value, but which are not managed on a fair value basis.

**Short-term borrowings**

The Group's short-term borrowings include hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features. Some of these embedded derivative features create bifurcatable debt instruments. The Group elected the fair value option for some of these instruments as of January 1, 2006, in accordance with the provisions of US GAAP. New bifurcatable debt instruments which were entered into in 2006 are carried at fair value. Some hybrid debt instruments do not result in bifurcatable debt instruments. US GAAP permits the Group to elect fair value accounting for non-bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments. With the exception of certain bifurcatable hybrid debt instruments which the Group did not elect to account for at fair value, the Group has elected to account for all hybrid debt instruments held as of January 1, 2007, and hybrid debt instruments originated after January 1, 2007, at fair value. These activities are managed on a fair value basis and fair value accounting was deemed appropriate for reporting purposes. There are two main populations of similar instruments for which fair value accounting was not elected. The first relates to the lending business transacted by the Group's private, corporate and institutional banking businesses, which includes structured deposits and similar investment products. These are managed on a bifurcated or accrual basis and fair value accounting was not considered appropriate. The second is where the instruments were or will be maturing in the near term and their fair value will be realized at that time.

**Long-term debt**

The Group's long-term debt includes hybrid debt instruments with embedded derivative features as described above in short-term borrowings. The Group's long-term debt also includes debt issuances managed by the Treasury department that do not contain derivative features (vanilla debt). The Group actively manages the interest rate risk on these instruments with derivatives. In particular, fixed-rate debt is hedged with receive-fixed, pay-floating interest rate swaps. The Group elected to fair value fixed-rate debt upon implementation of the fair value option on January 1, 2007, with changes in fair value recognized as a component of trading revenues. The Group did not elect to apply the fair value option to fixed-rate debt issued by the Group since January 1, 2008, but instead applies hedge accounting.

**Other liabilities**

Other liabilities include liabilities of VIEs and mortgage securitizations that do not meet the criteria for sale treatment under US GAAP. The Group elected the fair value option for these types of transactions.

**Difference between the aggregate fair value and unpaid principal balances of fair value option-elected financial instruments**

The impact of credit risk on assets presented in the table above has been calculated as the component of the total change in fair value, excluding the impact of changes in base or risk-free interest rates. The impact of changes in own credit risk on liabilities presented in the table above has been calculated as the difference between the fair values of those instruments as of the reporting date and the theoretical fair values of those instruments calculated by using the yield curve prevailing at the end of the reporting period, adjusted up or down for changes in the Group's own credit spreads from the transition date to the reporting date.

Interest income and expense, which are calculated based on contractual rates specified in the transactions, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations depending on the nature of the instrument and its related market convention. When interest is included as a component of the change in the instrument's fair value, it is included in trading revenues. Otherwise, it is included in interest and dividend income or interest expense. Interest and dividend income is recognized separately from trading revenues.

**Gains and losses attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk on fair value option elected liabilities**

The following table provides additional information regarding the gains and losses attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk on fair value option elected liabilities, which have been recorded in AOCI. The table includes both the amount of change during the period and the cumulative amount that were attributable to the changes in instrument-specific credit risk. In addition, the table includes the gains and losses related to instrument-specific credit risk, which were previously recorded in AOCI but have been transferred to net income during the period.

38 Capital adequacy

The Group is subject to the Basel framework, as implemented in Switzerland, as well as Swiss legislation and regulations for systemically important banks, which include capital, liquidity, leverage and large exposure requirements and rules for emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions in the event of threatened insolvency. The legislation implementing the Basel framework in Switzerland in respect of capital requirements for systemically important banks, including Credit Suisse, goes beyond the Basel minimum standards for systemically important banks. The Group, which is subject to regulation by FINMA, has based its capital adequacy calculations on US GAAP financial statements, as permitted by FINMA Circular 2013/1.

Under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance, Swiss banks classified as systemically important banks operating internationally, such as Credit Suisse, are subject to two different minimum requirements for loss-absorbing capacity: such banks must hold sufficient capital that absorbs losses to ensure continuity of service (going concern requirement), and they must issue sufficient debt instruments to fund an orderly resolution without recourse to public resources (gone concern requirement). Going concern capital and gone concern capital together form the Group's total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC). The going concern and gone concern requirements are generally aligned with the Financial Stability Board's total loss-absorbing capacity standard. Under the Capital Adequacy Ordinance's grandfathering provisions, additional tier 1 capital instruments with a low trigger qualify as going concern capital until their first call date. Additionally, there are FINMA decrees that apply to Credit Suisse as a systemically important bank operating internationally, including capital adequacy requirements as well as liquidity and risk diversification requirements. Banks that do not maintain the minimum requirements may be limited in their ability to pay dividends and make discretionary bonus payments and other earnings distributions.

The Group's balance sheet positions and off-balance sheet exposures translate into risk-weighted assets, which are categorized as credit, market and operational risk-weighted assets. When assessing risk-weighted assets, it is not the nominal size, but rather the nature (including risk mitigation such as collateral or hedges) of the balance sheet positions or off-balance sheet exposures that determines the risk-weighted assets.

Leverage exposure consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments, such as derivative financial instruments, securities financing transactions and off-balance sheet exposures.

Capital ratios measure the Group's capital components against risk-weighted assets and leverage ratios measure them against the end-of-period leverage exposure.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group's capital position exceeded its capital requirements under the regulatory provisions outlined under Swiss Requirements.

**Broker-dealer operations**

Certain of the Group's broker-dealer subsidiaries are also subject to capital adequacy requirements. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group and its subsidiaries complied with all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

**Dividend restrictions**

Certain of the Group's subsidiaries are subject to legal restrictions governing the amount of dividends they can pay (for example, pursuant to corporate law as defined by the Swiss Code of Obligations).

Under the Swiss Code of Obligations, dividends may be paid out only if and to the extent the corporation has distributable profits or distributable reserves. For holding companies, legal reserves may be distributed if they exceed, after deduction of any accumulated losses, treasury shares and reserves for own shares held by subsidiaries, 20% of the share capital registered in the commercial register. Furthermore, dividends may be paid out only after shareholder approval.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Credit Suisse Group AG was not subject to restrictions on its ability to pay the proposed dividends.

39 Assets under management

The following disclosure provides information regarding client assets, assets under management and net new assets as regulated by FINMA.

**Assets under management**

Assets under management include assets for which the Group provides investment advisory or discretionary asset management services, investment fund assets and assets invested in other investment fund-like pooled investment vehicles managed by the Group. The classification of assets under management is conditional upon the nature of the services provided by the Group and the clients' intentions. Assets are individually assessed on the basis of each client's intentions and objectives and the nature of the banking services provided to that client. In order to be classified as assets under management, the Group must currently or in the foreseeable future expect to provide a service where the involvement of the Group's banking or investment expertise (e.g. as asset manager or investment advisor) is not purely executional or custodial in nature.

Assets under custody are client assets held mainly for execution-related or safekeeping/custody purposes only and therefore are not considered assets under management since the Group does not generally provide asset allocation or financial advice.

Assets of corporate clients and public institutions that are used primarily for cash management or transaction executional purposes for which no investment advice is provided are classified as commercial assets or assets under custody and therefore do not qualify as assets under management.

For the purpose of classifying assets under management, clients with multiple accounts are assessed from an overall relationship perspective. Accounts that are clearly separate from the remainder of the client relationship and represent assets held for custody purposes only are not included as assets under management.

The initial classification of the assets may not be permanent as the nature of the client relationship is reassessed on an on-going basis. If changes in client intent or activity warrant reclassification between client asset categories, the required reclassification adjustments are made immediately when the change in intent or activity occurs. Reclassifications between assets under management and assets held for transaction-related or custodial purposes result in corresponding net asset inflows or outflows.

A portion of the Group's assets under management results from double counting. Double counting arises when assets under management are subject to more than one level of asset management services. Each separate advisory or discretionary service provides additional benefits to the client and represents additional income for the Group. Specifically, double counting primarily results from the investment of assets under management in collective investment instruments managed by the Group. The extent of double counting is disclosed in the following table.

**Net new assets**

Net new assets measure the degree of success in acquiring assets under management or changes in assets under management through warranted reclassifications. The calculation is based on the direct method, taking into account individual cash payments, security deliveries and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments.

Interest and dividend income credited to clients and commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services as well as changes in assets under management due to currency and market volatility are not taken into account when calculating net new assets, as such charges or market movements are not directly related to the Group's success in acquiring assets under management. Similarly other effects mainly relate to asset inflows and outflows due to acquisition or divestiture, exit from businesses or markets or exits due to new regulatory requirements and are not taken into account when calculating net new assets. The Group reviews relevant policies regarding client assets on a regular basis.

**Divisional allocation**

Assets under management and net new assets for Wealth Management and Swiss Bank are allocated based on the management areas (business areas) that effectively manage the assets. The distribution of net new assets resulting from internal referral arrangements is governed under the net new asset referral framework, which includes preset percentages for the allocation of net new assets to the businesses.

The allocation of assets under management and net new assets for Asset Management reflects the location where the investment vehicles are managed and where the costs of managing the funds are incurred.

40 Litigation

The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including those disclosed below. Some of these proceedings have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts.

The Group accrues loss contingency litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection with certain proceedings when losses, additional losses or ranges of loss are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group also accrues litigation provisions for the estimated fees and expenses of external lawyers and other service providers in relation to such proceedings, including in cases for which it has not accrued a loss contingency provision. The Group accrues these fee and expense litigation provisions and takes a charge to income in connection therewith when such fees and expenses are probable and reasonably estimable. The Group reviews its legal proceedings each quarter to determine the adequacy of its litigation provisions and may increase or release provisions based on management's judgment and the advice of counsel. This review includes consideration of management's strategy for resolution of matters through settlement or trial, as well as changes in such strategy. The establishment of additional provisions or releases of litigation provisions may be necessary in the future as developments in such proceedings warrant.

The specific matters described below include (a) proceedings where the Group has accrued a loss contingency provision, given that it is probable that a loss may be incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable; and (b) proceedings where the Group has not accrued such a loss contingency provision for various reasons, including, but not limited to, the fact that any related losses are not reasonably estimable. The description of certain of the matters below includes a statement that the Group has established a loss contingency provision and discloses the amount of such provision; for the other matters no such statement is made. With respect to the matters for which no such statement is made, either (a) the Group has not established a loss contingency provision, in which case the matter is treated as a contingent liability under the applicable accounting standard, or (b) the Group has established such a provision but believes that disclosure of that fact would violate confidentiality obligations to which the Group is subject or otherwise compromise attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other protections against disclosure or compromise the Group's management of the matter. The future outflow of funds in respect of any matter for which the Group has accrued loss contingency provisions cannot be determined with certainty based on currently available information, and accordingly may ultimately prove to be substantially greater (or may be less) than the provision that is reflected on the Group's balance sheet.

It is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the amount of any loss or loss range for many of the Group's legal proceedings. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and currently available information and involve a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and nature of the proceeding, the progress of the matter, the advice of counsel, the Group's defenses and its experience in similar matters, as well as its assessment of matters, including settlements, involving other defendants in similar or related cases or proceedings. Factual and legal determinations, many of which are complex, must be made before a loss, additional losses or ranges of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding.

Most matters pending against the Group seek damages of an indeterminate amount. While certain matters specify the damages claimed, such claimed amount may not represent the Group's reasonably possible losses. For certain of the proceedings discussed below the Group has disclosed the amount of damages claimed and certain other quantifiable information that is publicly available.

The following table presents a roll forward of the Group's aggregate litigation provisions.

**Litigation provisions**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **2022** |
| **CHF million** | **CHF million** |
| **Balance at beginning of period** | **1539** |
| Increase in litigation accruals | 1907 |
| Decrease in litigation accruals | (347) |
| Decrease for settlements and other cash payments | (1999) |
| Foreign exchange translation | 72 |
| **Balance at end of period** | **1172** |

---

The Group's aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Group does not believe that it can estimate an aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for certain of its proceedings because of their complexity, the novelty of some of the claims, the early stage of the proceedings, the limited amount of discovery that has occurred and/or other factors. The Group's estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for the proceedings discussed below for which the Group believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF 1.2 billion.

After taking into account its litigation provisions, the Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of its legal proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, including those brought by regulators or other governmental authorities, the ultimate cost to the Group of resolving such proceedings may exceed current litigation provisions and any excess may be material to its operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

**Mortgage-related matters**

**Government and regulatory related matters**

Various financial institutions, including Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CSS LLC) and certain of its affiliates, have received requests for information from, and/or have been defending civil actions by, certain regulators and/or government entities, including the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and other members of the Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) Working Group of the US Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force, regarding the origination, purchase, securitization, servicing and trading of subprime and non-subprime residential and commercial mortgages and related issues. CSS LLC and its affiliates are cooperating with such requests for information.

**DOJ RMBS settlement**

As previously disclosed, on January 18, 2017, CSS LLC and its current and former US subsidiaries and US affiliates reached a settlement with the DOJ related to its legacy RMBS business, a business conducted through 2007. The settlement resolved potential civil claims by the DOJ related to certain of those Credit Suisse entities' packaging, marketing, structuring, arrangement, underwriting, issuance and sale of RMBS. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement a civil monetary penalty was paid to the DOJ in January 2017. The settlement also required the above-mentioned entities to provide certain levels of consumer relief measures, including affordable housing payments and loan forgiveness, and the DOJ and Credit Suisse agreed to the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee the completion of the consumer relief requirements of the settlement. Credit Suisse continues to evaluate its approach toward satisfying its remaining consumer relief obligations in light of its business reassessment and anticipated related transactions, and Credit Suisse currently anticipates that it will take much longer than the five-year period provided in the settlement to satisfy in full its obligations in respect of these consumer relief measures and that it may only complete them by 2026 or later, subject to market conditions and the Group's risk appetite. Credit Suisse expects to incur costs in relation to satisfying those obligations. The amount of consumer relief Credit Suisse must provide also increases after 2021 pursuant to the original settlement by 5% per annum of the outstanding amount due until these obligations are settled. The monitor publishes reports periodically on these consumer relief matters.

**NJAG litigation**

On December 18, 2013, the New Jersey Attorney General (NJAG), on behalf of the State of New Jersey, filed a civil action in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Mercer County (SCNJ), against CSS LLC and affiliated entities in their roles as issuer, sponsor, depositor and/or underwriter of RMBS transactions prior to 2008. The complaint, which referenced approximately USD 10 billion of original unpaid principal balance across 13 RMBS issued, sponsored, deposited and underwritten by CSS LLC and its affiliates in 2006 and 2007, alleged that CSS LLC and its affiliates misled investors and engaged in fraud or deceit in connection with the offer and sale of RMBS, and sought an unspecified amount of damages. On October 25, 2022, following a settlement in the amount of USD 495 million, for which Credit Suisse was fully reserved, the SCNJ dismissed with prejudice all claims against CSS LLC and affiliated entities.

**Civil litigation**

CSS LLC and/or certain of its affiliates have also been named as defendants in various civil litigation matters related to their roles as issuer, sponsor, depositor, underwriter and/or servicer of RMBS transactions. These cases include or have included class action lawsuits, actions by individual investors in RMBS, actions by monoline insurance companies that guaranteed payments of principal and interest for certain RMBS, and repurchase actions by RMBS trusts, trustees and/or investors. Although the allegations vary by lawsuit, plaintiffs in the class actions and individual investor actions generally allege that the offering documents of securities issued by various RMBS securitization trusts contained material misrepresentations and omissions, including statements regarding the underwriting standards pursuant to which the underlying mortgage loans were issued; monoline insurers generally allege that loans that collateralize RMBS they insured breached representations and warranties made with respect to the loans at the time of securitization and that they were fraudulently induced to enter into the transactions; and repurchase action plaintiffs generally allege breached representations and warranties in respect of mortgage loans and failure to repurchase such mortgage loans as required under the applicable agreements. The amounts disclosed below do not reflect actual realized plaintiff losses to date or anticipated future litigation exposure. Rather, unless otherwise stated, these amounts reflect the original unpaid principal balance amounts as alleged in these actions and do not include any reduction in principal amounts since issuance. Further, unless otherwise stated, amounts attributable to an "operative pleading" for the individual investor actions are not

altered for settlements, dismissals or other occurrences, if any, that may have caused the amounts to change subsequent to the operative pleading. In addition to the mortgage-related actions discussed below, a number of other entities have threatened to assert claims against CSS LLC and/or its affiliates in connection with various RMBS issuances.

**Individual investor actions**

CSS LLC as an RMBS issuer, underwriter and/or other participant, along with other defendants, was named as a defendant in an action brought by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as receiver for Colonial Bank, in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), in which claims against CSS LLC related to approximately USD 92 million of the RMBS at issue (approximately 23% of the USD 394 million at issue against all defendants in the operative pleading). On June 28, 2022, CSS LLC and the plaintiffs executed an agreement to settle and dismiss all claims against CSS LLC.

In early March 2022, in an action brought by the FDIC, as receiver for Citizens National Bank and Strategic Capital Bank, in the SDNY, in which claims related to approximately USD 28 million of RMBS at issue, CSS LLC and its affiliates executed an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle and dismiss all claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates.

CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates were the only defendants named in an action brought by IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG and affiliated entities in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County (SCNY), in which claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates related to approximately USD 97 million of RMBS at issue. On April 12, 2022, the parties executed an agreement to settle and dismiss all claims against CSS LLC and its affiliates.

**Repurchase litigations**

DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ) is a defendant in: (i) one action brought by Asset Backed Securities Corporation Home Equity Loan Trust, Series 2006-HE7, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 374 million in an amended complaint filed on August 19, 2019; on January 13, 2020, DLJ filed a motion to dismiss; (ii) one action brought by Home Equity Asset Trust, Series 2006-8, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 436 million; (iii) one action brought by Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-1, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 420 million; on December 27, 2018, the SCNY denied DLJ's motion for partial summary judgment in this action, and the Appellate Division First Department of the SCNY (First Department) affirmed the SCNY's summary judgment order on October 10, 2019; on January 30, 2020, DLJ obtained leave to further appeal to the New York State Court of Appeals; on March 17, 2022, the New York State Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the First Department and ordered that DLJ's motion for partial summary judgment be granted; a non-jury trial in the action was held between January 23 and February 3, 2023, and a decision is pending; (iv) one action brought by Home Equity Asset Trust 2007-2, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 495 million; and (v) one action brought by CSMC Asset-Backed Trust 2007-NC1, in which no damages amount is alleged. These actions are brought in the SCNY and are at various procedural stages.

DLJ is also a defendant in one action brought by Home Equity Asset Trust Series 2007-3, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 206 million. On March 5, 2022, DLJ and the plaintiffs executed an agreement to settle this action. The settlement remains subject to approval through a trust instruction proceeding brought in Minnesota state court by the trustee of the plaintiff trust.

DLJ and its affiliate, Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. (SPS), are defendants in two actions that have been consolidated for certain procedural purposes, including trial, in the SCNY: one action brought by Home Equity Mortgage Trust Series 2006-1, Home Equity Mortgage Trust Series 2006-3 and Home Equity Mortgage Trust Series 2006-4, in which plaintiffs allege damages of not less than USD 730 million, and allege that SPS obstructed the investigation into the full extent of the defects in the mortgage pools by refusing to afford the trustee reasonable access to certain origination files; and one action brought by Home Equity Mortgage Trust Series 2006-5, in which plaintiff alleges damages of not less than USD 500 million, and alleges that SPS likely discovered DLJ's alleged breaches of representations and warranties but did not notify the trustee of such breaches, in alleged violation of its contractual obligations. On April 19, 2021, DLJ, SPS and the plaintiffs executed an agreement to settle both actions for the aggregate amount of USD 500 million, for which Credit Suisse was fully reserved. The settlement remains subject to approval through a trust instruction proceeding brought in Minnesota state court by the trustee of the plaintiff trusts.

Following the earlier dismissal of three consolidated repurchase actions in the SCNY in 2013 and the New York State Court of Appeals' upholding of this dismissal in February 2019, on August 15, 2019, the trustees for Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-5, Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-6 and Home Equity Asset Trust 2006-7 commenced a new repurchase action against DLJ in the SCNY, in which plaintiffs alleged damages of not less than USD 936 million, asserting substantially similar claims against DLJ as those alleged in the three consolidated repurchase actions previously dismissed with prejudice in 2013. On November 25, 2019, the SCNY entered an order dismissing this new action with prejudice. On December 20, 2019, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the First Department. On November 22, 2022, the plaintiffs withdrew their appeal to the First Department, such that the action is now fully dismissed.

**Bank loan litigation**

CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates are the subject of certain litigation relating to certain real estate developments including Yellowstone Club and Lake Las Vegas as well as other similar real estate

developments. Credit Suisse defendants in these matters arranged, and acted as the agent bank for, syndicated loans provided to borrowers affiliated with such real estate developments, and who have since gone through bankruptcy or foreclosure. Such litigation includes two cases brought in Texas and New York state courts by entities related to Highland Capital Management LP (Highland). In the case in Texas state court, a jury trial was held in December 2014 and a verdict was issued for the plaintiff on its claim for fraudulent inducement by affirmative misrepresentation, but the jury rejected its claim that CSS LLC and an affiliate had committed fraudulent inducement by omission. The Texas judge held a bench trial on Highland's remaining claims in May and June 2015, and entered judgment in the amount of USD 287 million (including prejudgment interest) for the plaintiff on September 4, 2015. Both parties appealed and on February 21, 2018, the appeals court affirmed the lower court's decision. On April 24, 2020, the Texas Supreme Court issued a ruling reversing a portion of the trial court's September 4, 2015 judgment related to the bench trial, thereby dismissing plaintiff's breach of contract, breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, aiding and abetting fraud, and civil conspiracy claims, including damages of approximately USD 212 million, exclusive of interest, but left standing the separate December 2014 jury verdict for plaintiff on its claims for fraudulent inducement by affirmative misrepresentation. The Texas Supreme Court subsequently remanded the case back to the trial court for further proceedings related to the calculation of damages and interest. On June 25, 2021, the trial court entered a new judgment, which awarded plaintiff a total of approximately USD 121 million. CSS LLC and its affiliates appealed the judgment. On February 14, 2023, the appeals court issued a ruling, reversing in favor of CSS LLC a portion of the trial court's June 25, 2021 judgment related to secondary market purchases, concluding in favor of CSS LLC that the trial court erred by failing to apply certain settlement credits to the December 2014 jury award amount and remanding the case to the trial court to consider the amount of prejudgment interest owed to Highland.

In the case in New York state court, the court granted in part and denied in part CSS LLC and certain of its affiliates' summary judgment motion. Both parties appealed that decision, but the appellate court affirmed the decision in full. The case is currently in discovery.

**Tax and securities law matters**

On May 19, 2014, Credit Suisse AG entered into settlement agreements with several US regulators regarding its US cross-border matters. As part of the agreements, Credit Suisse AG, among other things, engaged an independent corporate monitor that reports to the New York State Department of Financial Services. As of July 31, 2018, the monitor concluded both his review and his assignment. Credit Suisse AG continues to report to and cooperate with US authorities in accordance with Credit Suisse AG's obligations under the agreements.

**Rates-related matters**

**Regulatory matters**

Regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including the US, UK, EU and Switzerland, have for an extended period of time been conducting investigations into the setting of LIBOR and other reference rates with respect to a number of currencies, as well as the pricing of certain related derivatives. These ongoing investigations have included information requests from regulators regarding LIBOR-setting practices and reviews of the activities of various financial institutions, including Credit Suisse Group AG, which is a member of three LIBOR rate-setting panels (US Dollar LIBOR, Swiss Franc LIBOR and Euro LIBOR). Credit Suisse is cooperating fully with these investigations. In particular, it has been reported that regulators are investigating whether financial institutions engaged in an effort to manipulate LIBOR, either individually or in concert with other institutions, in order to improve market perception of these institutions' financial health and/or to increase the value of their proprietary trading positions. In response to regulatory inquiries, Credit Suisse commissioned a review of these issues. To date, Credit Suisse has seen no evidence to suggest that it is likely to have any material exposure in connection with these issues.

Regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO), the European Commission (Commission), the South African Competition Commission and the Brazilian Competition Authority have been conducting investigations into the trading activities, information sharing and the setting of benchmark rates in the foreign exchange (including electronic trading) markets.

On March 31, 2014, COMCO announced its formal investigation of numerous Swiss and international financial institutions, including Credit Suisse Group AG, in relation to the setting of exchange rates in foreign exchange trading. Credit Suisse continues to cooperate with this ongoing investigation.

Credit Suisse Group AG, Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited (CSSEL) received a Statement of Objections and a Supplemental Statement of Objections from the Commission on July 26, 2018 and March 19, 2021, respectively, alleging that Credit Suisse entities engaged in anticompetitive practices in connection with their foreign exchange trading business. On December 6, 2021, the Commission issued a formal decision imposing a fine of EUR 83.3 million. On February 15, 2022, Credit Suisse appealed this decision to the EU General Court.

The reference rates investigations have also included information requests from regulators concerning supranational, sub-sovereign and agency (SSA) bonds and commodities markets. Credit Suisse Group AG and CSSEL received a Statement of Objections from the Commission on December 20, 2018, alleging that Credit Suisse entities engaged in anticompetitive practices in connection with their SSA bonds trading business. On April 28, 2021, the

Commission issued a formal decision imposing a fine of EUR 11.9 million. On July 8, 2021, Credit Suisse appealed this decision to the EU General Court.

**Civil litigation**

**USD LIBOR litigation**

Beginning in 2011, certain Credit Suisse entities were named in various putative class and individual lawsuits filed in the US, alleging banks on the US dollar LIBOR panel manipulated US dollar LIBOR to benefit their reputation and increase profits. All remaining matters have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes into a multi-district litigation in the SDNY.

In a series of rulings between 2013 and 2019 on motions to dismiss, the SDNY (i) narrowed the claims against the Credit Suisse entities and the other defendants (dismissing antitrust, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Commodity Exchange Act, and state law claims), (ii) narrowed the set of plaintiffs who may bring claims, and (iii) narrowed the set of defendants in the LIBOR actions (including the dismissal of several Credit Suisse entities from various cases on personal jurisdiction and statute of limitation grounds). After a number of putative class and individual plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of their antitrust claims to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit), on December 30, 2021, the Second Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part the district court's decision and remanded the case to the SDNY.

On September 21, 2021, in the putative class action brought in the multi-district litigation in the SDNY by holders of bonds tied to LIBOR, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. On November 7, 2022, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval to the agreement to settle all claims. The settlement remains subject to final court approval.

Separately, on February 4, 2022, three actions brought by individual plaintiffs, and on November 18, 2022, one additional individual action, were dismissed against Credit Suisse.

On November 17, 2021, in the putative class action brought on behalf of those who lent at rates tied to LIBOR, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. On March 11, 2022 and July 26, 2022, respectively, the SDNY entered orders granting preliminary and final approval to the agreement to settle all claims.

Separately, on May 4, 2017, the plaintiffs in three putative class actions moved for class certification. On February 28, 2018, the SDNY denied certification in two of the actions and granted certification over a single antitrust claim in an action brought by over-the-counter purchasers of LIBOR-linked derivatives.

**USD ICE LIBOR litigation**

In January 2019, members of the US dollar Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) LIBOR panel, including Credit Suisse Group AG and certain of its affiliates, were named in three civil putative class action lawsuits alleging that panel banks suppressed US dollar ICE LIBOR to benefit defendants' trading positions. These actions have been consolidated in the SDNY. On March 26, 2020, the SDNY granted defendants' motion to dismiss, and on February 14, 2022, the Second Circuit dismissed plaintiffs' appeal of the SDNY's decision granting defendants' motion to dismiss.

On August 18, 2020, members of the ICE LIBOR panel, including Credit Suisse Group AG and certain of its affiliates, were named in a civil action in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that panel banks manipulated ICE LIBOR to profit from variable interest loans and credit cards. On December 23, 2021, the court denied plaintiffs' motion for preliminary and permanent injunctions to enjoin panel banks from continuing to set LIBOR or automatically setting the benchmark to zero each day, and on September 13, 2022, the court granted defendants' motions to dismiss. On October 4, 2022, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On November 4, 2022, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.

**CHF LIBOR litigation**

In February 2015, various banks that served on the Swiss franc LIBOR panel, including Credit Suisse Group AG, were named in a civil putative class action lawsuit filed in the SDNY, alleging manipulation of Swiss franc LIBOR to benefit defendants' trading positions. After defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was granted and plaintiffs successfully appealed, on July 13, 2022, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. On February 15, 2023, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval to the agreement to settle all claims. The settlement remains subject to final court approval.

**SIBOR/SOR litigation**

In July 2016, various banks that served on the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR) panels, including Credit Suisse Group AG and affiliates, were named in a civil putative class action lawsuit filed in the SDNY, alleging manipulation of SIBOR and SOR to benefit defendants' trading positions. After defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction was granted and plaintiffs successfully appealed, on April 22, 2022, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. On June 9, 2022 and November 29, 2022, respectively, the court entered orders granting preliminary and final approval to the agreement to settle all claims.

**Foreign exchange litigation**

Credit Suisse Group AG and affiliates as well as other financial institutions have been named in civil lawsuits relating to the alleged manipulation of foreign exchange rates.

The first pending matter is a consolidated class action. In that matter, on September 3, 2019, the SDNY denied plaintiffs' motion for certification of a Rule 23(b)(3) damages class, ruling that proof of both injury and damages must proceed on an individual basis, but granted certification as to two threshold issues concerning the alleged conspiracy. The SDNY also denied plaintiffs'

motion for certification of a second proposed class in its entirety. On February 1, 2022, the SDNY denied the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment. On April 22, 2022, Credit Suisse filed a motion to de-certify the issue class, which was denied on August 31, 2022. A jury trial was held in October 2022 on the issues of whether a conspiracy existed to manipulate bid-ask spreads in the FX market and whether Credit Suisse knowingly participated in any such conspiracy. On October 20, 2022, a verdict was issued in favor of Credit Suisse, finding that Credit Suisse did not knowingly participate in any such conspiracy. On November 10, 2022, plaintiffs moved for a new trial, which was denied on February 16, 2023.

A second pending matter originally named Credit Suisse Group AG and affiliates, as well as other financial institutions, in a civil action filed in the SDNY on November 13, 2018. This action was based on the same alleged conduct as the consolidated class action. After the court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, and plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint, on July 27, 2022, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. On August 31, 2022, pursuant to the settlement agreement, the court dismissed with prejudice plaintiffs' claims against Credit Suisse.

Credit Suisse AG, together with other financial institutions, was also named in a consolidated putative class action in Israel, which made allegations similar to the consolidated class action. On April 4, 2022, Credit Suisse entered into an agreement to settle all claims. The settlement remains subject to court approval.

**Treasury markets litigation**

CSS LLC, along with over 20 other primary dealers of US treasury securities, was named in a number of putative civil class action complaints in the US relating to the US treasury markets. These complaints generally alleged that the defendants colluded to manipulate US treasury auctions, as well as the pricing of US treasury securities in the when-issued market, with impacts upon related futures and options. These actions were consolidated into a multi-district litigation in the SDNY. On November 15, 2017, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint containing the previously asserted allegations as well as new allegations concerning a group boycott to prevent the emergence of anonymous, all-to-all trading in the secondary market for treasury securities. On May 22, 2018, defendants filed motions to dismiss, which the SDNY granted on March 31, 2021. On May 14, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. On August 4, 2021, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On March 31, 2022, the SDNY granted defendants' motion to dismiss and dismissed with prejudice all claims against the defendants.

A lawsuit was filed on November 10, 2014 in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York (EDNY) against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse AG, alleging claims under the United States Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). The action alleges a conspiracy between Iran and various international financial institutions, including the defendants, in which they agreed to alter, falsify or omit information from payment messages that involved Iranian parties for the express purpose of concealing the Iranian parties' financial activities and transactions from detection by US authorities. The complaint, brought by approximately 200 plaintiffs, alleges that this conspiracy has made it possible for Iran to transfer funds to Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations actively engaged in harming US military personnel and civilians. On July 12, 2016, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint in the EDNY against a number of banks, including Credit Suisse AG, alleging claims under the ATA.

These actions similarly allege a conspiracy between Iran and various international financial institutions, including the defendants, in which they agreed to alter, falsify or omit information from payment messages that involved

Iranian parties, and that this conspiracy made it possible for Iran to transfer funds to terrorist organizations actively engaged in harming US military personnel and civilians, and also assert ATA liability on an aiding and abetting theory. On January 6, 2020, defendants filed a motion to dismiss two of the EDNY cases, which the EDNY granted on June 5, 2020, dismissing the cases as to Credit Suisse AG and most of the other bank defendants.

On July 1, 2022, Credit Suisse Trust Limited appealed the court's decision with respect to the allowed amendments. The appeal was dismissed on August 11, 2022.

Credit Suisse has been subject to investigations by regulatory and enforcement authorities, as well as civil litigation, regarding certain Credit Suisse entities' arrangement of loan financing to Mozambique state enterprises, Proindicus S.A. and Empresa Mocambiacana de Atum S.A. (EMATUM), a distribution to private investors of loan participation notes (LPN) related to the EMATUM financing in September 2013, and certain Credit Suisse entities' subsequent role in arranging the exchange of those LPNs for Eurobonds issued by the Republic of Mozambique. On January 3, 2019, the EDNY unsealed an indictment against several individuals in connection with the matter, including three former Credit Suisse employees. On May 20, 2019, July 19, 2019 and September 6, 2019, the three former employees pleaded guilty to accepting improper personal benefits in connection with financing transactions carried out with two Mozambique state enterprises.

On October 19, 2021, Credit Suisse reached settlements with the DOJ, the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and FINMA to resolve inquiries by these agencies. Credit Suisse Group AG entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the DOJ in connection with the criminal information charging Credit Suisse Group AG with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and consented to the entry of a Cease and Desist Order by the SEC. Under the terms of the DPA, Credit Suisse Group AG will continue its compliance enhancement and remediation efforts, report to the DOJ on those efforts for three years and undertake additional measures as outlined in the DPA. Credit Suisse also agreed to pay a net penalty to the DOJ of approximately USD 175.5 million, which was payable following the conclusion of the sentencing process. If Credit Suisse Group AG adheres to the DPA's conditions, the charges will be dismissed at the end of the DPA's three-year term. In addition, CSSEL entered into a Plea Agreement and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the US federal wire fraud statute. CSSEL will be bound by the same compliance, remediation and reporting obligations as Credit Suisse Group AG under the DPA. Under the terms of the SEC Cease and Desist Order, Credit Suisse paid a civil penalty of USD 65 million and approximately USD 34 million in disgorgement and pre-judgment interest in connection with violations of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and the US Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) anti-fraud provisions (Exchange Act Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Securities Act Sections 17(a)(1), (2) and (3)) as well as the Exchange Act internal accounting controls and books and records provisions (Sections 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B)). The total monetary sanctions paid to the DOJ and SEC, taking into account various credits and offsets, was approximately USD 275 million. Under the terms of the resolution with the DOJ, Credit Suisse was required to pay restitution to any eligible investors in the 2016 Eurobonds issued by the Republic of Mozambique. At a July 22, 2022 hearing, the EDNY approved the joint restitution proposal of the DOJ and Credit Suisse, under which Credit Suisse paid USD 22.6 million in restitution to eligible investors. At the hearing Credit Suisse was also ordered to pay, and subsequently paid, the USD 175.6 million net penalty set out in the DPA and Plea Agreement described above.

In the resolution with the FCA, CSSEL, Credit Suisse International (CSI) and Credit Suisse AG, London Branch agreed that, in respect of these transactions with Mozambique, its UK operations had failed to conduct business with due skill, care and diligence and to take reasonable care to organize and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems. Credit Suisse paid a penalty of approximately USD 200 million and has also agreed with the FCA to forgive USD 200 million of debt owed to Credit Suisse by Mozambique.

FINMA also entered a decree announcing the conclusion of its enforcement proceeding, finding that Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG violated the duty to file a suspicious activity report in Switzerland, and Credit Suisse Group AG did not adequately manage and address the risks arising from specific sovereign lending and related securities transactions, and ordering the bank to remediate certain deficiencies. FINMA also arranged for certain existing transactions to be reviewed by the same independent third party on the basis of specific risk criteria, and required enhanced disclosure of certain sovereign transactions until all remedial measures have been satisfactorily implemented. Credit Suisse has completed implementation of the measures required under the FINMA decree. An independent third party appointed by FINMA is reviewing the implementation and effectiveness of these measures.

On February 28, 2023, FINMA announced the conclusion of its enforcement proceedings against Credit Suisse in connection with the SCFF matter.

While FINMA recognized that Credit Suisse has already taken extensive organizational measures based on its own investigation into the SCFF matter, particularly to strengthen its governance and control processes, and FINMA is supportive of these measures, the regulator has ordered certain additional remedial measures. These include a requirement that the most important (approximately 500) business relationships must be reviewed periodically and holistically at the Executive Board level, in particular for counterparty risks, and that Credit Suisse must set up a document defining the responsibilities of approximately 600 of its highest-ranking managers. FINMA will appoint an audit officer to assess compliance with these supervisory measures. Separate from the enforcement proceeding regarding Credit Suisse, FINMA has opened four enforcement proceedings against former managers of Credit Suisse.

Certain civil actions have been filed by fund investors and other parties against Credit Suisse and/or certain officers and directors in various jurisdictions, which make allegations including mis-selling and breaches of duties of care, diligence and other fiduciary duties.

On September 16, 2022, the parties reached an agreement to settle all claims. On December 23, 2022, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval to the parties' agreement to settle all claims. The settlement remains subject to final court approval.

**Communications recordkeeping matter**

On September 27, 2022, the SEC and the CFTC announced the entry of orders filing and settling charges with several financial institutions, including Credit Suisse, in connection with civil investigations concerning compliance with records preservation requirements relating to business communications sent over unapproved electronic messaging channels. The SEC found that CSS LLC failed to maintain and preserve off-channel communications its employees sent and received on personal devices related to the broker-dealer's business and failed to implement policies and procedures designed to prohibit such communications, thereby leading to CSS LLC's failure to reasonably supervise its employees. CSS LLC paid a civil monetary penalty of USD 125 million to the SEC. The CFTC found similar recordkeeping and supervisory failures for CSS LLC, as a futures commission merchant, and CSI, as a swap dealer. CSS LLC and CSI paid a combined civil monetary penalty of USD 75 million to the CFTC. In addition to the monetary penalties, Credit Suisse was ordered to cease and desist from future violations of the relevant recordkeeping provisions, was censured, admitted to the facts in the SEC and CFTC orders and agreed to certain undertakings, including, among other things, the use of an independent compliance consultant to review the bank's policies and procedures relating to the retention of electronic communications found on personal devices and the related framework for addressing non-compliance by employees.

43 Significant valuation and income recognition differences between US GAAP and Swiss GAAP banking law (true and fair view)

The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

FINMA requires Swiss-domiciled banks which present their financial statements under either US GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to provide a narrative explanation of the major differences between Swiss GAAP banking law (true and fair view) and its primary accounting standard.

The principal provisions of the Swiss Ordinance on Banks and Savings Banks (Banking Ordinance), the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority's Accounting Ordinance (FINMA Accounting Ordinance) and the FINMA circular 2020/1, "Accounting – banks", governing financial reporting for banks (Swiss GAAP) differ in certain aspects from US GAAP. The following are the major differences:

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" for a detailed description of the Group's accounting policies.

**Scope of consolidation**

Under Swiss GAAP, majority-owned subsidiaries that are not considered long-term investments or do not operate in the core business of the Group are either accounted for as financial investments or as equity method investments. US GAAP has no such exception relating to the consolidation of majority-owned subsidiaries.

**Investments in securities**

Under Swiss GAAP, classification and measurement of investments in securities depends on the nature of the investment.

**Non-consolidated participations**

Under US GAAP, equity securities where the company has no significant influence and which do not have a readily determinable fair value are measured in accordance with the NAV practical expedient, or by using the measurement alternative or at fair value.

Under Swiss GAAP, investments in equity securities where the company has no significant influence and which are held with the intention of a permanent investment or which are investments in financial industry infrastructure are included in participations irrespective of the percentage ownership of voting shares held. Participations are initially recognized at historical cost and tested for impairment at least annually. The fair value option is not allowed for participations.

Under Swiss GAAP, participations held by a company are tested for impairment on the level of each individual participation. An impairment is recorded if the carrying value of a participation exceeds its fair value. Should the fair value of an impaired participation recover in subsequent periods and such recovery is considered sustainable, the impairment from prior periods can be reversed up to the fair value but not exceeding the historical cost basis. A reversal of an impairment is recorded as extraordinary income in the statements of income.

**Available-for-sale debt securities**

Under US GAAP, available-for-sale debt securities are valued at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses due to fluctuations in fair value (including foreign exchange) are not recorded in the consolidated statements of operations but included net of tax in AOCI, which is part of total shareholders' equity. Credit-related impairments may have to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations if the fair value of an individual debt security decreases below its amortized cost basis due to credit-related factors.

Under Swiss GAAP, available-for-sale securities are accounted for at the lower of amortized cost or market with valuation reductions and recoveries due to market fluctuations recorded in other ordinary expenses and income, respectively. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in net income/(loss) from trading activities and fair value option.

**Non-marketable equity securities**

Under US GAAP, equity securities which do not have a readily determinable fair value are measured in accordance with the NAV practical expedient, or by using the measurement alternative or at fair value.

Under Swiss GAAP, non-marketable equity securities where the company has no intent to hold the securities permanently are carried at the lower of cost or market.

**Allowances and provisions for credit losses**

Under US GAAP, allowances and provisions for credit losses on financial instruments are estimated based on a CECL model. The credit loss requirements apply to financial assets measured at amortized cost as well as off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as irrevocable loan commitments, credit guarantees and similar instruments. The credit loss requirements are based on a forward-looking, lifetime CECL model by incorporating historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions available as of the reporting date.

Under Swiss GAAP, the same impairment model and methodology is applied as under US GAAP. Differences between the two GAAPs result for items which are not measured at amortized cost under US GAAP and therefore not in scope of CECL under US GAAP, but that have to be measured at amortized cost under Swiss GAAP and are therefore in scope of CECL under Swiss GAAP. Such differences in CECL measurement mainly result from loans, irrevocable loan commitments and financial guarantees which are FVO elected under US GAAP and measured at amortized cost under Swiss GAAP.

**Fair value option**

Unlike US GAAP, Swiss GAAP generally does not allow the fair value option concept that creates an optional alternative measurement treatment for certain non-trading financial assets and liabilities, guarantees and commitments. The fair value option permits the use of fair value for initial and subsequent measurement with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

For issued structured products that meet certain conditions, fair value measurement can be applied. The related changes in fair value of both the embedded derivative and the host contract are recorded in trading revenues, except for fair value adjustments relating to own credit that cannot be recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Impacts of changes in own credit spreads are recognized in the compensation accounts which are either recorded in other assets or other liabilities.

**Derivative financial instruments used for fair value hedging**

Under US GAAP, for fair value hedges, the carrying value of the underlying hedged items is adjusted to the change in the fair value of the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of the related designated derivatives are recorded in the same line item of the consolidated statements of operations as the change in fair value of the hedged risk for the respective assets or liabilities.

Under Swiss GAAP, the carrying value of hedged items is not adjusted. The amount representing the change in fair value of the hedged item with regard to the hedged risk is recorded in the compensation account included in other assets or other liabilities.

**Derivative financial instruments used for cash flow hedging**

Under US GAAP, the change in the fair value of a designated derivative of a cash flow hedge is reported in AOCI.

Under Swiss GAAP, the change in the fair value of a designated derivative of a cash flow hedge is recorded in the compensation account included in other assets or other liabilities.

**Derecognition of financial instruments**

Under US GAAP, financial instruments are only derecognized if the transaction meets the following criteria: (i) the financial asset has been legally isolated from the transferor, (ii) the transferee has the right to repledge or resell the transferred asset, and (iii) the transferor does not maintain effective control over the transferred asset.

Under Swiss GAAP, a financial instrument is derecognized when the economic control has been transferred from the seller to the buyer. A party which has the controlling ability to receive the future returns from the financial instrument and the obligation to absorb the risk of the financial instrument is deemed to have economic control over a financial instrument.

**Debt issuance costs**

Under US GAAP, debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt.

Under Swiss GAAP, debt issuance costs are reported as a balance sheet asset in accrued income and prepaid expenses.

**Operating leases – lessee arrangements**

Under US GAAP, at commencement of an operating lease, the lessee recognizes a lease liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset which reflects the future benefits from the lease contract. The initial lease liability equals the present value of the future lease payments; amounts paid upfront are not included. The right-of-use asset equals the sum of the initial lease liability, initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments, with lease incentives received deducted. Operating lease costs, which include amortization and an interest component, are recognized over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. If the reporting entity permanently vacates premises and sub-leases a leased asset to another party at a loss, an impairment is recognized on the right-of-use asset. The impairment is determined as the difference between the carrying value of the right-of-use asset and the present value of the expected sub-lease income over the sub-lease term.

Under Swiss GAAP, at commencement of an operating lease, no right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet of the lessee. For the calculation of the periodic lease expenses, initial direct costs, lease incentives and prepaid lease payments are considered and the total cost of a lease contract is expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. If the reporting entity permanently vacates premises, a provision for future payments under the lease contract is recorded, net of expected sub-lease income.

**Goodwill amortization**

Under US GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but must be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the goodwill may be impaired.

Under Swiss GAAP, goodwill is amortized over its useful life, generally not exceeding five years, except for justified cases where a maximum useful life of up to ten years is acceptable. In addition, goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment.

**Amortization of intangible assets**

Under US GAAP, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the asset may be impaired.

Under Swiss GAAP, intangible assets are amortized over a useful life, up to a maximum of five years, in justified cases up to a maximum of ten years. In addition, these assets are tested at least annually for impairment.

**Guarantees**

US GAAP requires all guarantees to be initially recognized at fair value. Upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor is required to recognize a liability that reflects the initial fair value; simultaneously, a receivable is recorded to reflect the future guarantee fee income over the entire life of the guarantee.

Under Swiss GAAP, only accrued or prepaid guarantee fees are recorded on the balance sheet. No guarantee liability and receivable for future guarantee fees are recorded upon issuance of a guarantee.

**Loan origination fees and costs**

US GAAP requires the deferral of fees received upfront and direct costs incurred in connection with the origination of loans not held under the fair value option.

Under Swiss GAAP, only upfront payments or fees that are considered interest-related components are deferred (e.g., premiums and discounts). Fees received from the borrower which are considered service-related fees such as commitment fees, structuring fees and arrangement fees are immediately recognized in commission income.

**Extraordinary income and expenses**

Unlike US GAAP, Swiss GAAP does report certain expenses or revenues as extraordinary if the recorded income or expense is non-operating and non-recurring.

**Pensions and post-retirement benefits**

Under US GAAP, the liability and related pension expense is determined based on the projected unit credit actuarial calculation of the benefit obligation.

Under Swiss GAAP, the liability and related pension expense is primarily determined based on the pension plan valuation in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 26. A pension asset is recorded if a statutory overfunding of a pension plan leads to a future economic benefit, and a pension liability is recorded if a statutory underfunding of a pension plan leads to a future economic obligation. Employer contribution reserves must be capitalized if they represent a future economic benefit. A future economic benefit exists if the employer can reduce its future statutory annual contribution to the pension plan by releasing employer contribution reserves. Pension expenses include the required contributions defined by Swiss law, any additional contribution mandated by the pension fund trustees and any change in value of the pension asset or liability between two measurement dates as determined on the basis of the annual year-end pension plan valuation.

**Discontinued operations**

Under US GAAP, the assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation are separated from the ordinary captions of the consolidated balance sheets and are reported as discontinued operations measured at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, income and expense from discontinued operations are reported in a separate line item of the consolidated statements of operations.

Under Swiss GAAP, these positions remain in their initial balance sheet captions until disposed of and continue to be valued according to the respective captions.

**Security collateral received in securities lending transactions**

Under US GAAP, security collateral received in securities lending transactions with the right to sell or repledge are recorded as assets and a corresponding liability to return the collateral is recognized.

Under Swiss GAAP, security collateral received and the obligation to return collateral of securities lending transactions are not recognized on the balance sheet.

**Digital assets held in custody**

Under US GAAP, an entity records a liability on its balance sheet for its obligation to safeguard digital assets held as a custodian for its clients, and a corresponding safeguarding asset.

Under Swiss GAAP, the recording of a safeguarding liability and a safeguarding asset for digital assets held as a custodian for its clients is not required.

**Loan commitments**

Under US GAAP, loan commitments include all commitments to extend loans, unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, credit guarantees in the future and overdraft protection agreements, except for commitments that can be revoked by the Group at any time at the Group's sole discretion without prior notice.

Under Swiss GAAP, loan commitments include all commitments to extend loans, unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, credit guarantees in the future and overdraft protection agreements, except for commitments that can be revoked by the Group at any time at the Group's sole discretion with a notice period not exceeding six weeks.

Notes to the financial statements

1 General information, business developments and subsequent events

**Company details**

Credit Suisse Group AG is a Swiss holding company incorporated as a joint stock corporation (public limited company) with its registered office in Zurich, Switzerland. The financial statements of Credit Suisse Group AG are prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Swiss Code of Obligations and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). The financial year ends on December 31.

Credit Suisse Group AG issues high-trigger and low-trigger tier 1 capital notes as well as senior unsecured notes, which qualify as total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC). The proceeds from such issuances are generally used to acquire internal notes issued by Credit Suisse AG which substantially mirror the terms of the notes issued by Credit Suisse Group AG.

**Number of employees** 

The annual average number of employees (full-time equivalents) for the current year exceeded 50 but did not exceed 250. In the previous year the average number of employees did not exceed 50.

**Business developments** 

**Strategic review**

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse Group AG announced a series of decisive actions following a strategic review conducted by the Board of Directors and Executive Board, focused on a restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital.

**Internal control over financial reporting**

The Credit Suisse Group AG's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Swiss law. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Board of Directors has made an evaluation and assessment of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Based upon its review and evaluation, the Board of Directors has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Credit Suisse Group AG's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as it did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements. This material weakness could result in misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

As a consequence, the statutory auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (PwC) has issued a qualified opinion on the existence of an internal control designed for the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Notwithstanding the existence of that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, the Credit Suisse Group AG confirms that its financial statements as at December 31, 2022 comply with Swiss law as reflected in PwC's report on those financial statements.

The Credit Suisse Group AG's Board of Directors and the Executive Board have worked continuously in recent years to improve the control environment surrounding financial reporting with increased investment and additional resources and are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that the material weaknesses are remediated with the highest priority. The Credit Suisse Group AG's Board of Directors and the Executive Board are developing a remediation plan to address the material weakness referred to above, including strengthening the risk and control framework, and which will build on the significant attention that management has devoted to controls to date.

Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Credit Suisse Group AG's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Credit Suisse Group AG's internal controls over financial reporting.

**Valuation of participations**

The carrying value of Credit Suisse Group AG's participations in subsidiaries is reviewed for potential impairment on at least an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the participations' value may be impaired. Such events and circumstances during the year, which included increased interest rates, the deterioration of the economic environment, the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, significant deposit and net asset outflows in the fourth quarter as well as the related liquidity issues, were considered triggering events and required reviews of the participations' value. Based on the reviews performed,

Credit Suisse Group AG recorded total participation impairments of CHF 24.5 billion, primarily relating to Credit Suisse AG, for the year 2022.

**Capital increase**

On November 23, 2022, Credit Suisse Group AG held an Extraordinary General Meeting, at which shareholders approved two capital increases. Credit Suisse Group AG completed the first capital increase on November 25, 2022 by way of a share placement of 462,041,884 newly issued shares to qualified investors resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 1.76 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG completed the second capital increase by way of a rights offering on December 9, 2022. By the end of the rights exercise period, 98.2% of the rights had been exercised for the issuance of 872,989,594 shares. The remaining 16,378,864 newly issued shares for which rights were not exercised were sold in the market. The rights offering resulted in gross proceeds of CHF 2.25 billion. The capital increases resulted in 1,351,410,342 newly issued shares and gross proceeds for Credit Suisse Group AG of CHF 4.0 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG made capital contributions of CHF 3.89 billion to its wholly-owned subsidiary Credit Suisse AG.

**Sale of CS Trust business**

On September 6, 2022, the Group signed separate agreements with The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited (Butterfield) and Gasser Partner Trust reg. (Gasser Partner) for the sale of its global trust business (Credit Suisse Trust, CST), while CST entities will continue to operate with a limited number of clients. Under separate agreements, Butterfield will acquire CST's businesses based in Guernsey, Singapore, and The Bahamas, while Gasser Partner will acquire CST's Liechtenstein business. The transaction with Butterfield is expected to close in 2023 and is subject to customary conditions. The transfer of a majority of the trust structures in Liechtenstein occurred on February 28, 2023, with the expectation that a small number of remaining trust structures will transfer on a rolling basis in the first half of 2023.

**Subsequent events** 

**Securitized Products Group**

On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it had entered into definitive transaction agreements to sell a significant part of its Securitized Products Group (SPG) to entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management. This transaction involves phased closings through the first half of 2023 and represents an important step towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank. On February 7, 2023, the parties completed the first closing of such transaction and the majority of the assets and professionals associated with the transaction are now part of or managed by ATLAS SP Partners, a new standalone credit firm focused on asset-backed financing and capital markets solutions. On February 23, 2023, the parties completed the second closing of such transaction, with further assets transferred.

**CS First Boston**

On February 9, 2023, Credit Suisse announced the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC, the investment banking business as well as the registered broker-dealer of M. Klein & Company LLC (the seller). The purchase price is USD 175 million. To align interests with Credit Suisse, the seller will receive a convertible note and a warrant. The note will provide annual payments and convert into, and the warrant entitles the seller to subscribe to, CS First Boston shares at a qualified initial public offering or other liquidity event, at the then-valuation of CS First Boston, less a customary discount. The principal amount of the convertible note is expected to be USD 100 million, with the balance being paid in cash dependent on the amount of taxes to be paid by the seller at closing. The net present value of the transaction to Credit Suisse is expected to be approximately USD 210 million, which also includes interest cost, annual payments on the note and other payments that may in the future become payable in respect of this transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023.

2 Accounting and valuation principles

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Law on Accounting and Financial Reporting (32nd title of the Swiss Code of Obligations).

**Cash and cash equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at nominal value.

**Derivatives held for hedging purposes**

**Interest rate swaps**

Credit Suisse Group AG entered into hedging transactions to hedge interest rate risk exposures from fixed rate liabilities with fixed receiver interest rate swaps with equivalent notionals and maturities. These hedging relationships are considered to be highly effective over the entire lifetime of the hedge. The hedging instruments follow the accounting treatment of the underlying assets and liabilities, i.e. the accrued net interest and the unamortized day one payments are recognized on the balance sheet as "Accrued income and prepaid expenses" and as "Accrued expenses and deferred income", respectively. The interest and the amortization of the day one payments on the interest rate swaps are recorded as financial expenses in the statement of income. The interest rate swaps were initially recorded at cost. Subsequently, no replacement values and no valuation changes, i.e., change of clean replacement values, are recorded on the balance sheet and in the statement of income of the company.

**Cross-currency basis swaps**

Credit Suisse Group AG uses cross-currency basis swaps to hedge the foreign currency risk resulting from mismatches between assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. The cross-currency basis swaps have a notional equivalent to the respective asset and liability currency mismatch. These hedging relationships are considered to be highly effective over the entire lifetime of the hedge and are adjusted as exposure changes to ensure the hedges remain effective. The hedging instruments follow the accounting treatment of the underlying risk hedged. The change of fair value due to change in foreign exchange rates is reflected in other financial income or financial expenses and off-sets with the foreign currency remeasurement effects of the hedged foreign currency exposure. The interest is recorded as financial expenses. The change in fair value due to change in foreign exchange rates and the accrued interest of the cross-currency basis swaps are recognized on the balance sheet as "Accrued income and prepaid expenses" and as "Accrued expenses and deferred income". The cross-currency basis swaps were initially recorded at cost. Subsequently, no replacement values and no valuation changes due to changes in interest rates, i.e., change of clean replacement values related to interest, are recorded on the balance sheet and in the statement of income of the company.

**Financial investments**

Financial investments include debt securities with a remaining maturity of more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These securities are carried at cost. No valuation adjustments or impairment losses were required.

**Participations**

Participations are valued at historical cost less impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, with a clearly defined sub-portfolio of economically closely related participations, the portfolio valuation method is applied. Impairment is assessed at each balance sheet date or at any point in time when facts and circumstances would indicate that an event has occurred which triggers an impairment review. The amount of impairment, if any, is assessed on the level of this sub-portfolio and not individually for each participation. All other participations are valued individually. An impairment is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the participation sub-portfolio. If the fair value of participations recovers significantly and is considered sustainable, a prior period impairment can be reversed up to the historical cost value of the participations.

**Intangible assets**

Intangible assets are amortized over a period of five years. Intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the intangible assets may be impaired.

**Interest-bearing liabilities**

Short-term and long-term interest-bearing liabilities are carried at nominal value. Issuance costs and discounts are recognized as prepaid expenses and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the notes. Premiums are recognized as accrued expenses and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the notes.

**Treasury shares**

Own shares are recorded at cost and reported as treasury shares, resulting in a reduction to total shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of own shares are recognized through the statement of income as other financial income or financial expenses.

**Revenue recognition**

Revenues are recognized when they are realized or realizable, and are earned. Dividend income is recorded in the reporting period in which the dividend is declared.

**Foreign currency translations**

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Swiss francs at the exchange rates prevailing at year-end, with the exception of non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are maintained in Swiss francs at historical exchange rates. All currency translation effects are recognized in other financial income or financial expenses.

16 Long-term interest-bearing liabilities

The high-trigger and low-trigger tier 1 capital notes issued by Credit Suisse Group AG are perpetual securities and have no fixed or final maturity date. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, they may be redeemed, at the option of the issuer, on the first call date or as specified thereafter in the terms of the note.

The high-trigger tier 1 capital notes mandatorily are permanently written down to zero, as provided in the terms of the respective instrument, upon the occurrence of certain specified triggering events. These events include the Group's consolidated common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio falling below 7%, or a determination by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) that write-down is necessary, or that Credit Suisse Group AG requires extraordinary public sector capital support, to prevent Credit Suisse Group AG from becoming insolvent, bankrupt or unable to pay a material amount of its debt, or other similar circumstances. Write-down can only be prevented if FINMA, at Credit Suisse Group AG's request, is satisfied that certain conditions exist and determines that a write-down is not required. High-trigger instruments are designed to absorb losses before other capital instruments, including the low-trigger capital instruments.

The low-trigger tier 1 capital notes have a write-down feature, which means that interest on the notes shall cease to accrue and the full principal amount of the notes will be permanently written down to zero upon the occurrence of certain specified triggering events, also called write-down events. A write-down event will occur if the sum of the Group's consolidated CET1 ratio and the Higher Trigger Capital Ratio (i.e., the ratio of Higher Trigger Capital Amount to the aggregate of all risk-weighted assets of the Group) as of any quarterly balance sheet date or interim capital report date is below 5.125%. A write-down event will also occur if FINMA determines that a write-down of the notes is necessary, or that Credit Suisse Group AG requires extraordinary public sector capital support to prevent Credit Suisse Group AG from becoming insolvent, bankrupt or unable to pay a material part of its debts, or other similar circumstances. Write-down can only be prevented if FINMA, at the Group's request, is satisfied that certain conditions exist and determines that a conversion or write-down is not required.

In addition to the high-trigger and low-trigger tier 1 capital notes, Credit Suisse Group AG has issued senior unsecured notes, which qualify as TLAC. The senior unsecured notes have a fixed maturity date and can be redeemed, at the option of the issuer, at a call date, if specified in the applicable terms and conditions. The senior unsecured notes are bail-in debt instruments that are designed to absorb losses after the cancellation of Credit Suisse Group AG's equity instruments and after the write-down or conversion into equity of regulatory capital (including high-trigger and low-trigger tier 1 capital notes) in restructuring proceedings with respect to Credit Suisse Group AG. Bail-in debt instruments do not feature capital triggers that may lead to a write-down and/or a conversion into equity outside of restructuring, but only begin to bear losses once Credit Suisse Group AG is formally in restructuring proceedings and FINMA orders capital measures (i.e., a write-down and/or a conversion into equity) in the restructuring plan.

21 Assets subject to retention of title

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, cash and cash equivalents in the amount of CHF 5 million were held in an escrow account.

22 Contingent liabilities

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, aggregate indemnity liabilities, guarantees and other contingent liabilities (net of exposures recorded as liabilities) were CHF 812 million and CHF 5,897 million, respectively. Credit Suisse Group AG has entered into these contingent liabilities on behalf of its subsidiaries.

Contingent liabilities include guarantees for obligations, performance-related guarantees and letters of comfort. Contingencies with a stated amount are included in the above reported amounts. In some instances, however, the amount of exposure of Credit Suisse Group AG is not specified but relates to specific circumstances such as the solvency of subsidiaries, and therefore no amount is included in the above figures.

**Value-added tax**

The company belongs to the Swiss value-added tax group of Credit Suisse Group, and thus carries joint liability to the Swiss federal tax authority for value-added tax debts of the entire Group. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Credit Suisse Group AG has not recorded any contingent liabilities with regard to value-added tax.

**Swiss pension plan**

The employees of Credit Suisse Group AG are covered by the pension plan of the "Pensionskasse der Credit Suisse Group (Schweiz)" (the Swiss pension plan). Most of the Swiss subsidiaries of Credit Suisse Group AG and a few companies that have close business and financial ties with Credit Suisse Group AG participate in this plan. The Swiss pension plan is an independent self-insured pension plan set up as a trust and qualifies as a defined contribution plan (savings plan) under Swiss law.

The Swiss pension plan's annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 26 based on the full population of covered employees. Individual annual financial statements for each participating company are not prepared. As a multi-employer plan with unrestricted joint liability for all participating companies, the economic interest in the Swiss pension plan's over- or underfunding is allocated to each participating company based on an allocation key determined by the plan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Credit Suisse Group AG has not recorded any contingent liabilities with regard to the Swiss pension plan.

Controls and procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Bank has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Bank Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), pursuant to Rule 13(a)-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Bank identified certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and, consequently, December 31, 2022, which are described below. As a result of these material weaknesses, the Bank CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Bank's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, the Bank confirms that its consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Bank's consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, in conformity with US GAAP, as reflected in PricewaterhouseCoopers AG's (PwC) report on those financial statements.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting

The management of the Bank is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Bank's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has made an evaluation and assessment of the Bank's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 using the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in "Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)". Based upon its review and evaluation, management, including the Bank CEO and CFO, has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Bank's internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the material weaknesses described below. For the same reasons, management has also reassessed its conclusion as to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, and concluded that internal control over financial reporting was also not effective as of such date.

Management did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements and did not design and maintain effective monitoring activities relating to (i) providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the company's internal control objectives; (ii) involving appropriate and sufficient management resources to support the risk assessment and monitoring objectives; and (iii) assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action. These material weaknesses contributed to an additional material weakness, as management did not design and maintain effective controls over the classification and presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Specifically, certain control activities over the completeness and the classification and presentation of non-cash items in the consolidated statement of cash flows were not performed on a timely basis or at the appropriate level of precision. This material weakness resulted in the revisions contained in our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2021 as disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. Additionally, each of these material weaknesses could result in further misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

PwC, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in this annual report, has issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

Remediation plans

Management and the Bank Audit Committee have worked continuously in recent years to improve the control environment surrounding financial reporting with increased investment and additional resources. Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that the material weaknesses are remediated as soon as possible. Management is developing a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses referred to above, including strengthening the risk and control frameworks, and which will build on the significant attention that management has devoted to controls to date. Additionally, we will implement robust controls to ensure that all non-cash items are classified appropriately within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Bank's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank's internal control over financial reporting.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich, Switzerland, PCAOB ID 1358

![Audit_20F_Bank](x08_0001.gif)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and shareholders of Credit Suisse AG Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Credit Suisse AG and its subsidiaries (the "Bank") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Bank's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Bank did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to (i) the effectiveness of the risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in the Bank's financial statements, (ii) the effectiveness of monitoring activities relating to providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the Bank's internal control objectives, involving appropriate and sufficient management resources to support the risk assessment and monitoring objectives and assessing and communicating the severity of deficiencies in a timely manner to those parties responsible for taking corrective action and (iii) the effectiveness of controls over the completeness and the classification and presentation of non-cash items in the consolidated statements of cash flows. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses referred to above are described in the accompanying Management's report on internal control over financial reporting. We considered these material weaknesses in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Bank's management and we previously concluded that the Bank maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. However, the Bank's management and we have subsequently determined that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed and accordingly concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of such date. Change in Accounting Principle As discussed in Note 2 and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank changed the manner in which it accounts for credit losses on certain financial instruments in 2020. Basis for Opinions The Bank's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Bank's consolidated financial statements and on the Bank's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Bank in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Fair Value of Certain Level 3 Financial Instruments As described in Note 35 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank carried CHF 9,313 million of its assets and CHF 9,523 million of its liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022. For these financial instruments, for which no prices are available and which have significant unobservable inputs, the determination of fair value may require the use of either industry standard models or internally developed proprietary models, as well as subjective assessment and judgment, depending on liquidity, pricing assumptions, the current economic and competitive environment and the risks affecting the specific instrument. The significant unobservable inputs used by management to determine the fair value of certain of these level 3 financial instruments included (i) correlation, (ii) market implied life expectancy, in years, (iii) UK mortality, (iv) price, (v) volatility, and (vi) credit spread. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the fair value of certain level 3 financial instruments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in determining the fair value of these financial instruments, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the fair value of these financial instruments, and (ii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the fair value of financial instruments, including controls over the Bank's models, inputs, and data. These procedures also included, among others, for a sample of financial instruments, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in (i) developing an independent estimate of fair value or (ii) testing management's process to determine the fair value of these financial instruments. Developing an independent estimate involved (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management, (ii) evaluating and utilizing management's significant unobservable inputs or developing independent significant unobservable inputs, and (iii) comparing management's estimate to the independently developed estimate of fair value. Testing management's process to determine the fair value involved (i) evaluating the reasonableness of management's significant unobservable inputs, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the techniques used, and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used by management to determine the fair value of these instruments. Allowance for Credit Losses on Certain Collectively Evaluated Corporate and Institutional Loans As described in Notes 1 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank's allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated corporate and institutional loans was CHF 431 million on corporate and institutional loans held at amortized cost of CHF 107,421 million as of December 31, 2022. The credit loss amounts were based on a forward-looking, lifetime current expected credit losses ("CECL") model by incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions available at the reporting date. Expected credit losses were not solely derived from projections of macroeconomic factors. Model overlays based on expert judgment were also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews, and were primarily impacting certain corporate and institutional loans portfolios. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the allowance for credit losses on certain collectively evaluated corporate and institutional loans is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in evaluating model results and assessing the need for overlays to the CECL model output, (ii) the significant judgment and estimation by management in determining an appropriate methodology for the overlays applied, which both in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and in evaluating audit evidence obtained relating to the model results and the appropriateness of overlays to the CECL model output, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's expected credit loss process, including controls over the Bank's models, data, and overlays. The procedures also included, among others, testing management's process for estimating expected credit losses, which included (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the model methodologies used to determine the allowance for credit losses, (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of data used in the estimate, and (iii) for a sample, evaluating the reasonableness of management's model overlays. The procedures included the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of model methodologies and assist in evaluating the audit evidence. Litigation provisions As described in Note 39 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. The Bank's aggregate litigation provisions include estimates of losses, additional losses or ranges of loss for proceedings for which such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank has recorded litigation provisions of CHF 1,125 million. Management's estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses that are not covered by existing provisions for which management believes an estimate is possible is zero to CHF 0.9 billion. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the litigation provisions is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management when assessing the likelihood of a loss being incurred and when determining whether a reasonable estimate of the loss or ranges of loss for each claim can be made, which in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in evaluating management's assessment of the litigation provisions and related disclosures. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management's estimation of the litigation provisions, including controls over determining whether a loss is probable and whether the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, as well as controls over the related financial statement disclosures. These procedures also included, among others, obtaining and evaluating the letters of audit inquiry with internal and external legal counsel, targeted inquiries with external counsel, evaluating the reasonableness of management's assessment regarding whether an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible or probable and reasonably estimable, and evaluating the sufficiency of the Bank's litigation provisions and related disclosures. Goodwill Impairment Assessment of the Asset Management and Wealth Management Reporting Units As described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank's goodwill balance was CHF 2,868 million as of December 31, 2022, which is allocated to the Group's reporting units, and for which CHF 1,106 million was allocated to the Asset Management reporting unit and CHF 1,281 million was allocated to the Wealth Management reporting unit. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. In estimating the fair value of its reporting units, management applied a combination of the market approach and the income approach. In determining the estimated fair value, management relied upon its latest five-year financial plan which included significant management assumptions and estimates based on their view of current and future economic conditions and significant assumptions regarding the discount rate under the income approach as well as price to projected earnings and price to book value multiples ("multiples") under the market approach. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units, (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's significant assumptions, specifically the five-year financial plan, discount rate and multiples, and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management's process for developing the fair value estimate of the Asset Management and Wealth Management reporting units and (ii) developing an independent estimate of fair value for these reporting units. Testing management's process involved (i) evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management, specifically the five-year financial plan, discount rate and multiples, (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the methods used, and (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in management's model. Developing an independent estimate involved using alternative financial plans, as well as independent discount rate and multiples, and comparing management's estimate to the independently developed estimate. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the management's estimate and development of an independent estimate. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers AG Zurich, March 14, 2023 We have served as the Bank's auditor since 2020.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

**Overview**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse AG (the Bank), the direct bank subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG (the Group), are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) and are stated in Swiss francs (CHF). The financial year for the Bank ends on December 31. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation which had no impact on net income/(loss) or total shareholders' equity.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the fair value measurements of certain financial assets and liabilities, the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of variable interest entities (VIEs), the impairment of assets other than loans, recognition of deferred tax assets, tax uncertainties, pension liabilities and various contingencies. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, actual results could differ materially from management's estimates. Market conditions may increase the risk and complexity of the judgments applied in these estimates.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for a summary of significant accounting policies, with the exception of the following accounting policies.

**Certain accounting changes**

As noted in our 2021 Annual Report, the Bank identified an accounting issue that was not material to the prior period financial statements. The Bank identified this accounting issue with respect to the net balance sheet treatment relating to the presentation of a limited population of certain securities lending and borrowing activities. As a result, balance sheet and cash flow positions for both assets and liabilities relating to these activities were presented on a gross basis and prior periods were revised in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes.

Beginning with the half-year ended June 30, 2022, the Bank has presented these securities lending and borrowing transactions as a single unit of account and as a result these transactions will no longer be presented on a gross basis. The Bank did not adjust prior period financial information, which continue to reflect a presentation on a gross basis.

**Pension and other post-retirement benefits**

Credit Suisse sponsors a Group defined benefit pension plan in Switzerland that covers eligible employees of the Bank domiciled in Switzerland. The Bank also has single-employer defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans in Switzerland and other countries around the world.

For the Bank's participation in the Group defined benefit pension plan, no retirement benefit obligation is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets of the Bank and defined contribution accounting is applied, as the Bank is not the sponsoring entity of the Group plan.

For single-employer defined benefit plans, the Bank uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the present value of its projected benefit obligations (PBO) and the current and past service costs or credits related to its defined benefit and other post-retirement benefit plans. The measurement date used to perform the actuarial valuation is December 31 and is performed by independent qualified actuaries.

> Refer to "Pension and other post-retirement benefits" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group – Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies for further information.

**Own shares, own bonds and financial instruments on Group shares**

The Bank's shares are wholly owned by Credit Suisse Group AG and are not subject to trading. The Bank may buy and sell Credit Suisse Group AG shares (Group shares) and Group bonds, own bonds and financial instruments on Group shares within its normal trading and market-making activities. In addition, the Bank may hold Group shares to economically hedge commitments arising from employee share-based compensation awards. Group shares are reported as trading assets, unless those shares are held to economically hedge share award obligations. Hedging shares are reported as treasury shares, resulting in a reduction to total shareholder's equity. Financial instruments on Group shares are recorded as assets or liabilities and carried at fair value. Dividends received on Group shares and unrealized and realized gains and losses on Group shares are recorded according to the classification of the shares as trading assets or treasury shares. Purchases of bonds originally issued by the Bank are recorded as an extinguishment of debt.

The Bank's contract terms are generally such that they do not result in any contract assets.

There were no material net impairment losses on contract receivables in 2022, 2021 or 2020. The Bank did not recognize any revenues in the reporting period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

**Capitalized costs**

The Bank has not incurred costs to obtain a contract nor costs to fulfill a contract that are eligible for capitalization.

**Remaining performance obligations**

ASC Topic 606's practical expedient allows the Bank to exclude from its remaining performance obligations disclosure any performance obligations which are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. Additionally, any variable consideration, for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, is not subject to the remaining performance obligations disclosure because such variable consideration is not included in the transaction price (e.g., investment management fees). Upon review, the Bank determined that no material remaining performance obligations are in scope of the remaining performance obligations disclosure.

**Debt securities held-to-maturity**

In 2022, the Bank purchased foreign government debt securities held-to-maturity amounting to CHF 971 million, all related to a portfolio of US Treasury securities.

The Bank's debt securities held-to-maturity with a carrying value of CHF 921 million as of December 31, 2022 represent a portfolio of US Treasury securities, all rated "AAA" based on the Bank's internal counterparty rating. US Treasury securities have a history of no credit losses and market price movements mainly reflect changes in market interest rates. Based on this history of no credit losses and the Bank's view of the current and forecasted economic environment, the Bank expects the risk of non-payment for US Treasuries to be zero and does not have an allowance for credit losses for these securities. The credit quality of these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Bank's zero-loss expectation is validated on at least a quarterly basis through the Bank's governance structure involving the Credit Risk and Treasury functions.

> Refer to "Note 16 – Investment securities" for further information.

**2022**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 127 million reflected a foreign tax benefit primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the US and the UK, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in Brazil. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 3,604 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 303 million included the impact of CHF 196 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible funding costs, CHF 154 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions, CHF 74 million relating to other non-deductible expenses, CHF 8 million relating to non-deductible UK bank levy costs and various smaller items. These expenses were partially offset by the net benefit of CHF 138 million for the reassessment of the interest cost deductibility relating to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of non-deductible funding.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 144 million included a tax benefit of CHF 65 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 39 million related to non-taxable dividend income, CHF 36 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 4,512 million primarily related to the reassessment of deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, primarily due to the limited future taxable income against which deferred tax assets could be utilized. Management considered both positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of the Bank's deferred tax assets will not be realized. This resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance of CHF 3,655 million, mainly in respect of two of the Bank's operating entities in the US. The net impact also included valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 817 million related to the current year results, mainly in respect of one of the Bank's operating entities in Switzerland, three of the Bank's operating entities in the US and two of the Bank's operating entities in the UK. This also included an increase in the valuation allowance of CHF 40 million relating to year-end reassessments of deferred tax assets.

**Other** of CHF 75 million included an income tax benefit of CHF 172 million relating to return-to-provision adjustments and CHF 24 million relating to tax credits. These benefits were partially offset by CHF 57 million relating to the current year US base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT) provision, CHF 45 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements and CHF 24 million relating to unrealized mark-to-market results on share-based compensation. The remaining balance included various smaller items.

**2021**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 92 million reflected a foreign tax charge primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the UK, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the US. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 480 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 369 million included the impact of CHF 200 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible costs related to funding and capital (including a contingency accrual of CHF 11 million), CHF 93 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions, including amounts relating to the Mozambique matter, CHF 39 million relating to non-deductible UK bank levy costs and other non-deductible compensation expenses and management costs, CHF 28 million relating to other non-deductible expenses and various smaller items.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 129 million included a tax benefit of CHF 77 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 41 million related to non-taxable dividend income, CHF 5 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income, CHF 5 million related to exempt income and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 612 million included a tax charge from the increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 771 million, mainly in respect of two of the Bank's operating entities in the UK. This mainly reflected the impact of the loss related to Archegos attributable to the UK operations. Also included was the net impact of the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 159 million, mainly in respect of one of the Bank's operating entities in Switzerland and another of the Bank's operating entities in Hong Kong.

**Other** of CHF 154 million included an income charge of CHF 100 million relating to withholding taxes, CHF 51 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements and CHF 29 million relating to the current year BEAT provision. These charges were partially offset by CHF 30 million relating to prior years' adjustments. The remaining balance included various smaller items.

**2020**

**Foreign tax rate differential** of CHF 64 million reflected a foreign tax benefit primarily driven by losses in higher tax jurisdictions, mainly in the UK, and profits incurred in lower tax jurisdictions, mainly in Singapore, partially offset by profits made in higher tax jurisdictions, such as the US. The foreign tax rate expense of CHF 179 million comprised not only the foreign tax expense based on statutory tax rates but also the tax impacts related to the following reconciling items.

**Other non-deductible expenses** of CHF 253 million included the impact of CHF 117 million relating to non-deductible interest expenses and non-deductible costs related to funding and capital (including the impact of a previously unrecognized tax benefit of CHF 157 million relating to the resolution of interest costs deductibility with and between international tax authorities, partially offset by a contingency accrual of CHF 41 million), CHF 68 million relating to non-deductible bank levy costs and other non-deductible compensation expenses and management

costs, CHF 46 million relating to non-deductible legacy litigation provisions and CHF 23 million relating to other non-deductible expenses.

**Lower taxed income** of CHF 221 million included a tax benefit of CHF 79 million related to the revaluations of the equity investments in the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX) Group AG, Allfunds Group and Pfandbriefbank in Switzerland, CHF 53 million related to concessionary and lower taxed income, CHF 67 million related to non-taxable life insurance income, CHF 19 million related to the transfer of the InvestLab fund platform to Allfunds Group and various smaller items.

**Changes in deferred tax valuation allowances** of CHF 281 million included a tax charge from the increase in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 312 million, mainly in respect of the re-assessment of deferred tax assets reflecting changes in the future profitability of one of the Bank's operating entities in Switzerland of CHF 222 million, and also in respect of one of the Bank's operating entities in the UK. Also included was the net impact of the release of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of CHF 31 million, mainly in respect of one of the Bank's operating entities in Hong Kong and another of the Bank's operating entities in the UK.

**Other** of CHF 277 million included an income tax benefit from the re-assessment of the BEAT provision for 2019 of CHF 180 million and the impact of a change in US tax rules relating to federal net operating losses (NOL), where federal NOL generated in tax years 2018, 2019, or 2020 can be carried back for five years instead of no carry back before and also the deductible interest expense limitations for the years 2019 and 2020 have been increased from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the year, which in aggregate resulted in a benefit of CHF 141 million. Additionally, this included an income tax benefit of CHF 80 million relating to prior years' adjustments and a tax benefit of CHF 34 million relating to the beneficial earnings mix of one of the Bank's operating entities in Switzerland. These benefits were partially offset by CHF 78 million relating to the tax impact of an accounting standard implementation transition adjustment for own credit movements, CHF 61 million relating to withholding taxes, CHF 26 million relating to the current year BEAT provision and the remaining balance included various smaller items.

The US tax reform enacted in December 2017 introduced the BEAT tax regime, effective as of January 1, 2018, for which final regulations were issued by the US Department of Treasury on December 2, 2019. Following the publication of the 2019 financial statements, Credit Suisse continued its analysis of the final regulations, resulting in a revision to the technical application of the prior BEAT estimate. This new information was not available or reasonably knowable at the time of the publication of the 2019 financial statements and resulted in a change of accounting estimate reflected in 2020.

Net deferred tax liabilities of CHF 411 million as of December 31, 2022 decreased CHF 3,955 million compared to net deferred tax assets of CHF 3,544 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily reflecting the valuation allowances relating to the reassessment of the deferred tax assets as a result of the comprehensive strategic review announced on October 27, 2022, as well as valuation allowances relating to current period results. The movement also reflected tax impacts directly recorded in other comprehensive income, mainly related to own credit movements, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange translation gains, which were included within the currency translation adjustments, and a pension plan re-measurement.

The Bank's valuation allowance against gross deferred tax assets was CHF 8.5 billion as of December 31, 2022 compared to CHF 5.3 billion as of December 31, 2021. This was due to the uncertainty concerning the Bank's ability to generate the necessary amount and mix of taxable income in future periods. The valuation allowance also reflected a decrease due to valuation allowance adjustments recorded in other comprehensive income, mainly related to own credit movements.

**Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities** 

As of December 31, 2022, the Bank had accumulated undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries of CHF 17.8 billion. No deferred tax liability was recorded in respect of those amounts, as these earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. The Bank would need to accrue and pay taxes on these undistributed earnings if such earnings were repatriated. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for these undistributed foreign earnings.

Interest and penalties are reported as tax expense. The Bank is currently subject to ongoing tax audits, inquiries and litigation with the tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions, including Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, the UK and the US. Although the timing of completion is uncertain, it is reasonably possible that some of these will be resolved within 12 months of the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that there will be a decrease of between zero and CHF 14 million in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date.

The Bank remains open to examination from federal, state, provincial or similar local jurisdictions from the following years onward in these major countries: Switzerland – 2020 (federal and Zurich cantonal level); Brazil – 2017; the UK – 2012; and the US – 2010.

**Liabilities due to own pension plans**

Liabilities due to the Bank's own defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of CHF 254 million and CHF 331 million, respectively, were reflected in various liability accounts in the Bank's consolidated balance sheets.

31 Pension and other post-retirement benefits

The Bank participates in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Group and has defined contribution pension plans, single-employer defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement defined benefit plans. The Bank's principal plans are located in Switzerland, the US and the UK.

> Refer to "Note 32 – Pension and other post-retirement benefits" in VI – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse Group for further information on pension and other post-retirement benefits.

**Defined contribution pension plans**

The Bank contributes to various defined contribution pension plans primarily in Switzerland, the US and the UK as well as other countries throughout the world. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Bank contributed to these plans and recognized as expense CHF 211 million, CHF 235 million and CHF 240 million, respectively. This included expenses of CHF 69 million, CHF 89 million and CHF 96 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Swiss defined contribution pension plan which took effect on January 1, 2020. Contributions to the Swiss defined contribution plan are made by employees and the Group. Assets from this plan are paid out as a lump sum on retirement.

**Defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans**

**Defined benefit pension plans**

**Group pension plan**

The Bank covers pension requirements for its employees in Switzerland by participating in a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Group (Group plan), the Group's most significant defined benefit pension plan. The Group plan provides benefits in the event of retirement, death and disability. Various legal entities within the Group participate in the Group plan, which is set up as an independent trust domiciled in Zurich. Benefits in the Group plan are determined on the basis of the accumulated employer and employee contributions and accumulated interest credited. In accordance with US GAAP, the Group accounts for the Group plan as a single-employer defined benefit pension plan and uses the projected unit credit actuarial method to determine the net periodic benefit costs, the PBO and the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO). The Bank accounts for the defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Group as a multi-employer pension plan because other legal entities within the Group also participate in the Group plan and the assets contributed by the Bank are not segregated into a separate account or restricted to provide benefits only to employees of the Bank. The assets contributed by the Bank are commingled with the assets contributed by the other legal entities of the Group and can be used to provide benefits to any employee of any participating legal entity. The Bank's contributions to the Group plan comprise 83% of the total cash contributions contributed to the Group plan by all participating legal entities on an annual basis.

The Bank accounts for the Group plan on a defined contribution basis whereby it only recognizes the amounts required to be contributed to the Group plan during the period as net periodic pension expense and only recognizes a liability for any contributions due and unpaid. No other expenses or balance sheet amounts related to the Group plan were recognized by the Bank. In the savings section of the Group plan, the Bank's contribution varies between 7.5% and 25.0% of the pensionable salary depending on the employee's age.

During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Bank contributed and recognized as expense CHF 215 million, CHF 248 million and CHF 249 million to the Group plan, respectively. The Bank expects to contribute CHF 225 million to the Group plan during 2023.

**International pension plans**

Various defined benefit pension plans cover the Bank's employees outside Switzerland. These plans provide benefits in the event of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment. Retirement benefits under the plans depend on age, contributions and salary. The Bank's principal defined benefit pension plans outside Switzerland are located in the US and in the UK. Both plans are funded, closed to new participants and have ceased accruing new benefits. Smaller defined benefit pension plans, both funded and unfunded, are operated in other locations.

**Other post-retirement defined benefit plan**

In the US, the Bank has a defined benefit plan that provides post-retirement benefits other than pension benefits that primarily focus on health and welfare benefits for certain retired employees. In exchange for the current services provided by the employee, the Bank promises to provide health and welfare benefits after the employee retires. The Bank's obligation for that compensation is incurred as employees render the services necessary to earn their post-retirement benefits.

**Net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit plans**

The net periodic benefit costs for defined benefit pension and other post-retirement defined benefit plans are the costs of the respective plan for a period during which an employee renders services. The actual amount to be recognized is determined using the standard actuarial methodology which considers, among other factors, current service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets and the amortization of both prior service costs/(credits) and actuarial losses/(gains) recognized in AOCI.

**Health care cost assumptions**

The health care cost trend is used to determine the appropriate other post-retirement defined benefit costs. In determining those costs, an annual weighted-average rate is assumed in the cost of covered health care benefits.

The following table provides an overview of the assumed health care cost trend rates.

**Disclosures relating to contingent credit risk**

The following table provides the Bank's current net exposure from contingent credit risk relating to derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and special purpose entities (SPEs) that include credit support agreements, the related collateral posted and the additional collateral that could be called by counterparties in a one, two or three-notch downgrade in the contractually specified credit ratings. The table also includes derivative contracts with contingent credit risk features without credit support agreements that have accelerated termination event conditions. The current net exposure for derivative contracts with bilateral counterparties and contracts with accelerated termination event conditions is the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments that were in a net liability position. For SPEs, the current net exposure is the contractual amount that is used to determine the collateral payable in the event of a downgrade. The contractual amount could include both the negative replacement value and a percentage of the notional value of the derivative.

**Credit protection sold/purchased**

The following tables do not include all credit derivatives and differ from the credit derivatives in the "Fair value of derivative instruments" table. This is due to the exclusion of certain credit derivative instruments under US GAAP, which defines a credit derivative as a derivative instrument (a) in which one or more of its underlyings are related to the credit risk of a specified entity (or a group of entities) or an index based on the credit risk of a group of entities and (b) that exposes the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract.

Total return swaps (TRS) of CHF 5.9 billion and CHF 12.0 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were also excluded because a TRS does not expose the seller to potential loss from credit risk-related events specified in the contract. A TRS only provides protection against a loss in asset value and not against additional amounts as a result of specific credit events.

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of protected deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank. In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guaranteed an amount of up to CHF 6 billion under the regulation applicable until December 31, 2022. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Bank's contribution will be calculated based on its share of privileged deposits in proportion to total privileged deposits. Based on FINMA's estimate for the Bank, the Bank's share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was CHF 0.5 billion. These deposit insurance guarantees were reflected in other guarantees.

On January 1, 2023, a partial revision of the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks (Bank Law) became effective, which included changes to the Swiss deposit insurance guarantee program. Under the revised program, among other changes, the jointly guaranteed amount is now determined as the higher of CHF 6 billion or 1.6% of all protected deposits. The Bank's respective share will be approximately CHF 0.6 billion for the period January 1 to June 30, 2023, as per notifications from the administrator of the Swiss deposit insurance program to the Bank and its Swiss bank subsidiaries.

**Fair value of beneficial interests**

The fair value measurement of beneficial interests held at the time of transfer and as of the reporting date that result from any continuing involvement is determined using fair value estimation techniques, such as the present value of estimated future cash flows that incorporate assumptions that market participants customarily use in these valuation techniques. The fair value of the assets or liabilities that result from any continuing involvement does not include any benefits from financial instruments that the Bank may utilize to hedge the inherent risks.

**Key economic assumptions at the time of transfer**

> Refer to "Note 35 – Financial instruments" for further information on the fair value hierarchy.

**Commercial paper conduit**

The Bank acts as the administrator and provider of liquidity and credit enhancement facilities for Alpine Securitization Ltd (Alpine), a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper (CP) conduit used for client and Bank financing purposes. Alpine discloses to CP investors certain portfolio and asset data and submits its portfolio to rating agencies for public ratings on its CP. This CP conduit purchases assets such as loans and receivables or enters into reverse repurchase agreements and finances such activities through the issuance of CP backed by these assets. In addition to CP, Alpine may also issue term notes with maturities up to 30 months. The Bank (including Alpine) can enter into liquidity facilities with third-party entities pursuant to which it may be required to purchase assets from these entities to provide them with liquidity and credit support. The financing transactions are structured to provide credit support in the form of over-collateralization and other asset-specific enhancements. Alpine is a separate legal entity that is wholly owned by the Bank. However, its assets are available to satisfy only the claims of its creditors. In addition, the Bank, as administrator and liquidity facility provider, has significant exposure to and power over the activities of Alpine. Alpine is considered a VIE for accounting purposes and the Bank is deemed the primary beneficiary and consolidates this entity.

The overall average maturity of Alpine's outstanding CP was approximately 249 days as of December 31, 2022. Alpine's CP had exposures mainly in reverse repurchase agreements with a Bank entity, solar loans and leases, consumer loans and car loans and leases.

The Bank's financial commitment to this CP conduit consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Bank to provide short-term financing to the CP conduit or to purchase assets from the CP conduit in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduit cannot refinance its obligations or a default of an underlying asset. In such circumstances, the Bank may be viewed as the primary beneficiary of specified assets referenced under liquidity agreements, resulting in consolidation of specified assets, which are included as part of the consolidated VIEs table. The asset-specific credit enhancements provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Bank reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit.

The Bank enters into liquidity facilities with CP conduits administrated and sponsored by third parties. These third-party CP conduits are considered to be VIEs for accounting purposes. The Bank is not the primary beneficiary and generally does not consolidate these third-party CP conduits. The Bank's financial commitment to these third-party CP conduits consists of obligations under liquidity agreements. The liquidity agreements are asset-specific arrangements, which require the Bank to provide short-term financing to the third-party CP conduits or to purchase assets from these CP conduits in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, a lack of liquidity in the CP market such that the CP conduits cannot refinance their obligations or a default of an underlying asset. As of December 31, 2022, certain liquidity facilities with third-party CP conduits referenced groups of specified assets and liabilities within a VIE for which the Group is the primary beneficiary which required consolidation. The asset-specific credit enhancements, if any, provided by the client seller of the assets remain unchanged as a result of such a purchase. In entering into such agreements, the Bank reviews the credit risk associated with these transactions on the same basis that would apply to other extensions of credit. In some situations, the Bank can enter into liquidity facilities with these third-party CP conduits through Alpine.

The Bank's economic risks associated with the Alpine CP conduit and the third-party CP conduits are included in the Bank's risk management framework including counterparty, economic risk capital and scenario analysis.

**Consolidated VIEs**

The Bank has significant involvement with VIEs in its role as a financial intermediary on behalf of clients. The Bank consolidates all VIEs related to financial intermediation for which it is the primary beneficiary.

The consolidated VIEs table provides the carrying amounts and classifications of the assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Contingent liabilities include guarantees for obligations, performance-related guarantees and letters of comfort issued to third parties. Contingencies with a stated amount are included in the off-balance sheet section of the financial statements. In some instances, the exposure of Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company) is not defined as an amount but relates to specific circumstances such as the solvency of subsidiaries or the performance of a service.

**Joint and several liability**

The Bank parent company entered into a contractual arrangement under which it assumed joint and several liability with respect to liabilities of Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG arising in connection with Credit Suisse (Schweiz) AG's roles under the international covered bonds program.

The Bank parent company is a member of Credit Suisse Group AG's Swiss value added tax (VAT) group and therefore subject to joint and several liability according to the Swiss VAT Act.

**Deposit insurance guarantee programs**

Deposit-taking banks and securities dealers in Switzerland and certain other European countries are required to ensure the payout of protected deposits in case of specified restrictions or compulsory liquidation of a deposit-taking bank.

In Switzerland, deposit-taking banks and securities dealers jointly guaranteed an amount of up to CHF 6 billion under the regulation applicable until December 31, 2022. Upon occurrence of a payout event triggered by a specified restriction of business imposed by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) or by the compulsory liquidation of another deposit-taking bank, the Bank parent company's contribution will be calculated based on its share of protected deposits in proportion to total protected deposits. Based on FINMA's estimate for the Bank parent company, the bank's share in the deposit insurance guarantee program for the period July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was CHF 42 million. This deposit insurance guarantee is reflected in irrevocable commitments.

On January 1, 2023, a partial revision of the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks (Bank Law) became effective, which included changes to the Swiss deposit insurance guarantee program. Under the revised program, among other changes, the jointly guaranteed amount is now determined as the higher of CHF 6 billion or 1.6% of all protected deposits.

The amendments also require all member banks to deposit collateral equal to 50% of the Bank's deposit insurance contribution amount in the form of HQLA securities or Swiss francs with a secure third party custodian. Banks will need to comply with this collateralization requirement by the end of November 2023. The reduction in HQLA securities or Swiss francs provided as collateral under the Swiss deposit insurance program due to this new requirement will be partially compensated by a reduced outflow factor applied to the Bank's deposit insurance contribution amount.

**Business developments**

**Credit Suisse Group strategic review**

On October 27, 2022, Credit Suisse announced a series of decisive actions following a strategic review conducted by its Board of Directors and Executive Board, focused on a restructuring of the Investment Bank, an accelerated cost transformation, and strengthened and reallocated capital. The transformation is intended to be funded through divestments, exits, the capital actions and existing resources. As the Group implements these actions, restructuring costs, including from asset impairments and liability valuations, are expected to arise in connection with business activities the Group plans to exit or transfer and their related infrastructure.

**Internal control over financial reporting**

The Bank parent company's Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting which is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Swiss law. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Board of Directors has made an evaluation and assessment of the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Based upon its review and evaluation, the Board of Directors has concluded that, as of December 31, 2022, the Bank parent company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as it did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyze the risk of material misstatements in its financial statements. This material weakness could result in misstatements of account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

As a consequence, the statutory auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers AG (PwC) has issued a qualified opinion on the existence of an internal control designed for the preparation of the financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

Notwithstanding the existence of that material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, the Bank parent company confirms that its financial statements as at December 31, 2022 comply with Swiss law as reflected in PwC's report on those financial statements.

The Bank parent company's Board of Directors and the Executive Board have worked continuously in recent years to improve the control environment surrounding financial reporting with increased investment and additional resources and are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that the material weaknesses are remediated with the highest priority. The Bank parent company's Board of Directors and the Executive Board are developing a remediation plan to address the material weakness referred to above, including strengthening the risk and control framework, and which will build on the significant attention that management has devoted to controls to date.

Other than as described above, there were no changes in the Bank parent company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank parent company's internal controls over financial reporting.

**Valuation of participations**

The carrying value of the Bank parent company's participations in subsidiaries is reviewed for potential impairment on at least an annual basis as of December 31 and at any other time that events or circumstances indicate that the participations' value may be impaired. During 2022, adverse market and economic conditions as well as the announcement on October 27, 2022 regarding the updated strategy, the organizational changes and planned business exits, primarily with regard to the Investment Bank division, were triggering events.

Based on the reviews performed, which included the support of an independent valuation specialist appointed by Credit Suisse, the Bank parent company recorded participation impairments of CHF 11.9 billion for the year 2022, which are reflected in the statement of income in impairment of participations, depreciation and amortization of tangible fixed assets and intangible assets.

514

Impairments of CHF 10.8 billion were recorded against the participation in Credit Suisse Holdings (USA) Inc. and CHF 1.1 billion on other entities.

**Capital increase**

On November 23, 2022, the Group held an Extraordinary General Meeting, at which shareholders approved two capital increases. The Group completed the first capital increase on November 25, 2022 by way of a share placement of 462,041,884 newly issued shares to qualified investors resulting in gross proceeds of CHF 1.76 billion. The Group completed the second capital increase by way of a rights offering on December 9, 2022. By the end of the rights exercise period, 98.2% of the rights had been exercised for the issuance of 872,989,594 shares. The remaining 16,378,864 newly issued shares for which rights were not exercised were sold in the market. The rights offering resulted in gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 2.25 billion. The capital increases resulted in 1,351,410,342 newly issued shares and gross proceeds for the Group of CHF 4.0 billion. Credit Suisse Group AG made capital contributions of CHF 3.89 billion to the Bank parent company.

**Liquidity issues in the fourth quarter of 2022**

During early fourth quarter of 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits as well as non-renewal of maturing time deposits. However, as the quarter progressed, these outflows stabilized to much lower levels but had not yet reversed by year end. As is normal practice, the Group also limited its access to the capital markets in the period immediately preceding the strategy announcements the Group made on October 27, 2022. These developments also adversely impacted the Bank parent company.

**Outflows in assets under management in the fourth quarter of 2022**

As previously disclosed for the Group, Credit Suisse began experiencing deposit and net asset outflows in early fourth quarter of 2022 at levels that substantially exceeded the rates incurred in the third quarter of 2022. At the Group level, approximately two-thirds of these net asset outflows in the quarter concentrated in October 2022. The Bank parent company was affected by net asset outflows. Net asset outflows for the year represented approximately 14% of assets under management reported as of the end of 2021.

> Refer to "Note 28 – Assets under management" for further information.

**Allfunds Group**

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Bank parent company sold its entire participation in Allfunds Group plc (Allfunds Group), which represented approximately 8.6% of the share capital of Allfunds Group, through an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors. Following the completion of this transaction, the Bank parent company no longer holds any shares in Allfunds Group.

**Supply chain finance fund matter**

As previously reported, early March 2021, the boards of four supply chain finance funds (SCFF) managed by certain Bank subsidiaries decided to suspend redemptions and subscriptions of those funds to protect the interests of the funds' investors, to terminate the SCFF and to proceed to their liquidation.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Bank introduced a fee waiver program for clients impacted by this matter wherein certain commissions and fees arising from current and future business transactions may be reimbursed on a quarterly basis, provided certain conditions are met. The Bank parent company incurred negative revenues of CHF 74 million in 2022 relating to this fee waiver program.

**Subsequent events**

**Securitized Products Group**

On November 15, 2022, Credit Suisse announced that it entered into definitive transaction agreements to sell a significant part of its Securitized Products Group (SPG) to entities and funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management. This transaction involves phased closings through the first half of 2023 and represents an important step towards a managed exit from the SPG business and to de-risk the bank. On February 7, 2023, the parties completed the first closing of such transaction and the majority of the assets and professionals associated with the transaction are now part of or managed by ATLAS SP Partners, a new standalone credit firm focused on asset-backed financing and capital markets solutions. On February 23, 2023, the parties completed the second closing of such transaction, with further assets transferred.

**CS First Boston**

On February 9, 2023, the Group announced that it has taken further steps to progress the carveout of CS First Boston as a leading capital markets and advisory business through the acquisition of The Klein Group LLC, the investment banking business as well as the registered broker-dealer of M. Klein & Company LLC (the seller). The purchase price is USD 175 million. To align interests with the Group, the seller will receive a convertible note and a warrant. The note will provide annual payments and convert into, and the warrant entitles the seller to subscribe to, CS First Boston shares at a qualified initial public offering or other liquidity event, at the then-valuation of CS First Boston, less a customary discount. The principal amount of the convertible note is expected to be USD 100 million, with the balance being paid in cash dependent taxes to be paid by the seller at closing. The net present value of the transaction to the Group is expected to be approximately USD 210 million, which also includes interest cost, annual payments on the note and other payments that may in the future become payable in respect of this transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023.

2 Accounting and valuation principles

**Summary of significant accounting and valuation principles**

**Basis for accounting**

The Bank parent company's standalone financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting rules of the Swiss Federal Law on Banks and Savings Banks (Bank Law), the corresponding Implementing Ordinance (Banking Ordinance), the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority's Accounting Ordinance (FINMA Accounting Ordinance) and FINMA circular 2020/1, "Accounting – banks" (Swiss GAAP statutory) as applicable for the preparation of reliable assessment statutory single-entity financial statements *(Statutarischer Einzelabschluss mit zuverlässiger Darstellung)*. Supplemental information on unsecured senior debt and structured notes as provided in Note 19 is not a required disclosure under these rules.

The financial year for the Bank parent company ends on December 31.

The consolidated financial statements of Credit Suisse AG and its subsidiaries (Bank) are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP), which differ in certain material respects from Swiss GAAP statutory.

> Refer to "Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies" in VIII – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse (Bank) for a detailed description of the Bank's accounting and valuation principles.

> Refer to "Note 41 – Significant valuation and income recognition differences between US GAAP and Swiss GAAP banking law (true and fair view)" in VIII – Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse (Bank) for information on significant valuation and income recognition differences between US GAAP and Swiss GAAP banking law (true and fair view).

In addition to preparing its own consolidated US GAAP financial statements, Credit Suisse AG is included in the scope of the published annual report of Credit Suisse Group AG, which includes a Group management report and consolidated financial statements prepared under US GAAP. The Bank parent company has no listed shares outstanding. Accordingly, the Bank parent company is exempt from providing certain disclosures in its standalone annual report, such as a management report, a statement of cash flows and certain notes to the financial statements.

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year's financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation and had no impact on net profit/(loss) or total shareholders' equity.

**Recording of transactions**

Transactions are generally recognized on a trade date basis at the point in time when they become legally binding unless specific guidance is provided for settlement date accounting, such as for issuances of debt and structured notes.

**Foreign currency translations**

The Bank parent company's reporting currency is Swiss francs (CHF); branches of the Bank parent company can have a functional currency other than Swiss francs.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the related head office or branch are recorded by remeasuring them in the functional currency of the related head office or branch using the foreign exchange rate on the date of the transaction. As of the date of the balance sheet, monetary assets and liabilities, such as receivables and payables, are reported using the year-end spot foreign exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate differences are recorded in the statement of income in net income/(loss) from trading activities and fair value option. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded using the historic exchange rate.

Assets and liabilities of foreign branches with functional currencies other than the Swiss franc are translated into Swiss franc equivalents using year-end spot foreign exchange rates, whereas revenues and expenses are translated at weighted average foreign exchange rates for the period. All foreign exchange translation effects are recognized in the statement of income in net income/(loss) from trading activities and fair value option.

The following table provides the foreign exchange rates applied for the preparation of the Bank parent company's standalone financial statements.

**Foreign exchange rates**

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | End of | End of |
| | **2022** | 2021 |
| 1 USD / 1 CHF | 0.92 | 0.91 |
| 1 EUR / 1 CHF | 0.99 | 1.03 |
| 1 GBP / 1 CHF | 1.12 | 1.24 |
| 100 JPY / 1 CHF | 0.70 | 0.79 |

---

**Cash and other liquid assets**

Cash and other liquid assets are recognized at their nominal value less any necessary allowance for credit losses.

**Due from banks**

Amounts due from banks, including interest due but not paid, are recognized at their nominal value less any necessary allowance for credit losses.

**Securities lending and borrowing, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements**

Securities lending and borrowing as well as repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are recorded at the nominal value of the cash amounts exchanged less any necessary allowance for credit losses.

**Due from customers and mortgage loans**

Amounts due from customers and mortgage loans, including interest due but not paid, are recognized at their nominal value less any necessary allowance for credit losses.

516

**Allowance for credit losses and non-accrual financial assets**

The current expected credit loss (CECL) requirements in accordance with US GAAP as allowed under the Swiss GAAP statutory accounting rules for banks apply to all financial assets and off-balance sheet exposures measured at amortized cost or nominal value less allowance for credit losses. The expected credit loss amounts are based on a forward-looking, lifetime CECL model by incorporating reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions available at the reporting date. The expected credit loss amounts are estimated over the contractual term of the financial assets, taking into account the effect of prepayments. This requires considerable judgment over how changes in macroeconomic factors (MEFs) as well as changes in forward-looking borrower-specific characteristics will affect the expected credit loss amounts.

The Bank parent company measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For financial assets which do not share similar risk characteristics, expected credit losses are evaluated on an individual basis. Expected credit loss amounts are probability-weighted estimates of potential credit losses based on historical frequency, current trends and conditions as well as forecasted MEFs, such as gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment rates and interest rates.

For financial assets that are performing at the reporting date, the allowance for credit losses is generally measured using a probability of default (PD)/loss given default (LGD) approach under which PD, LGD and exposure at default (EAD) are estimated. For financial assets that are credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Bank parent company generally applies a discounted cash flow approach to determine the difference between the gross carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows.

An allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost base or nominal value, respectively, of the financial asset. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income in (increase)/release of allowance for default risks and losses from interest activities, or, if related to provisions for off-balance sheet credit exposures, in increase/(release) of provisions and other valuation adjustments, and losses.

Accrued interest from financial assets is recognized in the balance sheet in accrued income and prepaid expenses. Current expected credit losses are calculated on accrued interest receivables and any uncollectible accrued interest receivables are written off by reversing the related interest income.

Write-off of a financial asset occurs when it is considered certain that there is no possibility of recovering the outstanding principal. If the amount of loss on write-off is greater than the accumulated allowance for credit losses, the difference results in an additional credit loss. The additional credit loss is first recognized as an addition to the allowance; the allowance is then applied against the gross carrying amount. Any repossessed collateral is initially measured at fair value. The subsequent measurement depends on the nature of the collateral.

Expected recoveries on financial assets previously written off have to be reflected in the allowance for credit losses; for this purpose, the amount of expected recoveries cannot exceed the aggregate amounts previously written off. Accordingly, expected recoveries from financial assets previously written off may result in an overall negative allowance for credit loss balance.

The Bank parent company's loan portfolios are reflected in the balance sheet in due from customers, due from banks and mortgage loans. A loan is classified as non-performing and thus considered credit impaired no later than when the contractual payments of principal and/or interest are more than 90 days past due. However, management may determine that a loan should be classified as non-performing notwithstanding that contractual payments of principal and/or interest are less than 90 days past due. The Bank parent company continues to add accrued interest receivable to the loan's unpaid principal balance for collection purposes; however, a credit provision is recorded, resulting in no interest income recognition. A loan can be further downgraded to non-interest-earning when the collection of interest is considered so doubtful that further accrual of interest is deemed inappropriate. Generally, non-performing loans and non-interest-earning loans may be restored to performing status only when delinquent principal and interest are brought up to date in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and when certain performance criteria are met. Interest collected on non-performing loans and non-interest-earning loans is accounted for using the cash basis or the cost recovery method or a combination of both.

**Trading assets and liabilities**

In order to qualify as trading activity, positions (assets and liabilities) have to be actively managed with the objective of realizing gains from fluctuations in market prices, which includes an ongoing willingness to increase, decrease, close or hedge risk positions. Trading positions also include positions held with the intention of generating gains from arbitrage. The designation as trading position has to be made, and documented accordingly, upon conclusion of the transaction.

Trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the statement of income in net income/(loss) from trading activities and fair value option. The fair value is determined using either the price set on a price-efficient and liquid market or a price calculated using a valuation model.

Interest and dividend income resulting from trading positions is recorded in gross income from interest activities. Refinancing costs are not charged to net income from trading activities and fair value option.

Reclassifications between trading assets, financial investments and participations are allowed. Reclassifications between financial investments and participations are recorded at the carrying value.

517

Reclassifications between trading assets and financial investments or participations, respectively, are recorded at the fair value valid at the time when the decision to reclassify is made. Resulting gains or losses are recognized applying the same accounting principles as for the recognition of results from the disposal of such assets.

**Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting**

Derivative financial instruments consist of trading and hedging instruments.

Positive and negative replacement values of outstanding derivative financial instruments arising from transactions for the Bank parent company's own account are disclosed as separate line items in the balance sheet, with related fair value changes recorded in net income from trading activities and fair value option.

Replacement values of derivative financial instruments arising from transactions for the account of customers are recognized only if a risk exists that a customer or other counterparty (e.g., exchange, exchange member, issuer of the instrument or broker) of a transaction is no longer able to meet its obligations, resulting in an exposure to loss for the Bank parent company during the remaining term of the contract.

Hedge accounting is determined, tested for effectiveness and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP as allowed under the Swiss GAAP statutory accounting rules for banks. Derivative financial instruments used as hedging instruments in hedging relationships are always recorded at fair value.

For fair value hedges, gains and losses resulting from the valuation of the hedging instruments are recorded in the same statement of income line items in which gains and losses from the hedged items are recognized. Valuation impacts resulting from fair valuing the risk being hedged of the hedged items are not recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged items but are recorded in the compensation account included in other assets or other liabilities.

For cash flow hedges, gains and losses resulting from the valuation of the hedging instruments are deferred and recorded in the compensation account included in other assets or other liabilities. The deferred amounts are released and recorded in the statement of income in the same period when the cash flows from the hedged transactions or hedged items are recognized in earnings.

**Other financial instruments held at fair value and liabilities from other financial instruments held at fair value**

Financial instruments which are not part of the trading portfolio may be measured at fair value and classified in other financial instruments held at fair value or liabilities from other financial instruments held at fair value if all of the following conditions are met:

■ The financial instruments are valued at fair value and are subject to risk management corresponding to that for trading positions including a documented risk management and investment strategy which ensures appropriate recognition, measurement and limitation of the miscellaneous risks.

■ An economic hedging relationship between the financial instruments on the asset side and the financial instruments on the liability side exists and gains and losses from the fair valuation of these financial instruments are largely offset (avoidance of an accounting mismatch).

■ Impacts of changes in own credit spreads on the fair value of an issued debt instrument following initial recognition cannot be reflected in the statement of income. Impacts of changes in own credit spreads are recognized in the compensation account.

Changes in fair value are recorded in net income from trading activities and fair value option.

**Financial investments**

Equity securities which do not qualify as trading securities are included in financial investments and measured at the lower of cost or market value (LOCOM). Valuation adjustments are recorded in other ordinary income or other ordinary expenses.

Debt securities which do not qualify as trading securities are included in financial investments and further classified into debt securities held-to-maturity, which the Bank parent company intends to hold until maturity, and debt securities available-for-sale, which the Bank parent company does not intend to hold until maturity.

Debt securities held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses. An allowance for credit losses related to default risk is reported in the statement of income in increase/(release) of allowance for default risks and losses from interest activities. If debt securities held-to-maturity are sold or repaid before original maturity, the interest component of any realized gains or losses is deferred and amortized over the remaining original life of the debt security.

Debt securities available-for-sale are measured at the lower of amortized cost or market value (LOACOM). Valuation adjustments for credit- and market-related adjustments are recorded in other ordinary income or other ordinary expenses.

**Participations**

Equity securities in a company which are owned by the Bank parent company qualify as a participation if these securities are held for the purpose of permanent investment, irrespective of the percentage of voting shares held, or, if these equity securities are in a banking and financial market infrastructure enterprise, in particular participations in joint organizations. Participations can be held by the Bank parent company in Switzerland and its foreign branches.

Participations are measured at acquisition cost less any impairments. Goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of a participation are part of the participation's historical cost under Swiss GAAP statutory and not separately identified and recorded. Impairment is assessed individually for each participation at each balance sheet date or at any point in time when facts and circumstances would indicate that an event has occurred which triggers an impairment review. An impairment is recorded if the carrying

518

value exceeds the fair value of a participation. If the fair value of a participation recovers significantly and is considered sustainable, a prior period impairment can be reversed up to the historical cost value of the participation.

Dividends received from participations are generally recorded as dividend income. If dividend payments from a participation are made in the form of a capital repayment from paid-in capital or if the dividends do not result from sustainable profits and represent repayment of capital previously contributed to the respective participation such dividends are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the respective participation.

**Other assets and other liabilities**

Other assets and other liabilities are generally recorded at cost or nominal value. Other assets and other liabilities include the net balance of the compensation accounts. The compensation account assets and liabilities include changes in the book values of assets and liabilities that are not recognized in the statement of income of a reporting period. In particular, the compensation accounts are used to record the hedge effectiveness, impacts from changes in own credit spreads and deferred gains or losses from the sale of debt securities held-to-maturity. The gross amounts of compensation account assets and liabilities are offset and reported net on the balance sheet either in other assets or in other liabilities.

**Due to banks**

Amounts due to banks are recognized at their nominal value.

**Customer deposits**

Amounts due in respect of customer deposits are recognized at their nominal value.

**Bonds and mortgage-backed bonds**

Bonds and mortgage-backed bonds are carried at amortized cost. Debt issuance costs are recorded in accrued income and prepaid expenses.

**Provisions**

Provisions are recorded to cover specific risks related to a past event prior to the balance sheet date. Further, provisions for probable obligations and for expected credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures are recorded. Provisions represent a probable obligation for which the amount and/or due date are uncertain but can be reasonably estimated. Where the time factor has a material impact, the amount of the provision is discounted.

Provisions which are no longer economically necessary and which are not used in the same reporting period to cover probable obligations of the same nature are released to income:

■ tax provisions through line item taxes;

■ provisions for pension benefit obligations through personnel expenses; and

■ provisions for current and expected credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposures and other provisions including litigation provisions through line item increase/(release) of provisions and other value adjustments, and losses.

**Commission income**

Commission income is recognized when arrangements exist, services have been rendered, the revenue is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. As applicable, commissions and fees are recognized ratably over the service period and either accrued or deferred in the balance sheet in the line items accrued income and prepaid expenses and accrued expenses and deferred income, respectively.

Commission income and commission expense are generally recorded on a gross basis in the statement of income.

**Income tax accounting**

Income taxes are based on the tax laws of each tax jurisdiction and are expensed in the period in which the taxable profits are made.

Tax provisions are recognized in the statement of income in the line item taxes and included in provisions on the balance sheet.

In line with the accounting rules for single-entity statutory financial statements, deferred tax assets on net operating losses are not recognized. Deferred taxation items for temporary differences between the carrying value of an asset or a liability under Swiss GAAP statutory and the respective value for tax reporting, i.e., its tax base, are also not recognized.

**Extraordinary income and expense**

The recognition of extraordinary income or expense is limited to transactions which are non-recurring and non-operating, such as the disposal of fixed assets or participations, the reversal of prior-period impairment on participations, or income and expense related to other reporting periods if they account for the correction of errors with regard to non-operating transactions of prior periods.

**Contingent liabilities and irrevocable commitments**

Contingent liabilities are recorded as off-balance sheet transactions at their maximum potential payment amounts. Irrevocable commitments are recorded as off-balance sheet transactions at their nominal values, except for irrevocable loan commitments that are cancellable with a notice period of six weeks or less. As necessary, related provisions are recorded on the balance sheet in line item provisions.

For undrawn irrevocable loan commitments, the expected credit loss amount is calculated based on the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due to the Bank parent company if the commitment is drawn and the cash flows that the Bank parent company expects to receive, in order to estimate the provision for expected credit losses. For credit guarantees, expected credit losses are recognized for the contingency of the credit guarantee. Provisions for off-balance sheet credit exposures are recognized on the balance sheet in provisions.

519

**Capital adequacy disclosures**

Capital adequacy disclosures for the Group and the Bank parent company are presented in the publications "Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures – Credit Suisse Group AG" and "Regulatory disclosures – Subsidiaries", respectively.

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/regulatorydisclosures for additional information.

**Prior period information**

In 2022, the statement of income item "Increase/(release) of provisions and other valuation adjustments, and losses" included additional expenses of CHF 37 million related to 2021 to reflect the impact of a correction in loan commitments that are subject to the expected credit loss approach.

> Refer to "Note 8 – Increase/(release) of provisions and other valuation adjustments, losses and extraordinary income and expenses" and "Note 20 – Provisions and allowance for credit losses" for further information.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the carrying value of due from customers secured by other collateral was revised from CHF 79,239 million to CHF 87,188 million, reflecting an increase of CHF 7,949 million due to a reassessment of collateral, with the corresponding unsecured exposure reduced by the same amount. Accordingly, the allowance for credit losses on loans and receivables secured by other collateral was revised from CHF 459 million to CHF 604 million, reflecting an increase of CHF 145 million, with the corresponding allowance for credit losses on unsecured loans and receivables reduced by the same amount.

> Refer to "Note 11 – Collateral and impaired loans and receivables" for further information.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the notional amount of "Interest rate products – Options bought and sold (OTC)" was revised from CHF 162,050 million to CHF 214,558 million, within the corresponding positive replacement value revised from CHF 1,265 million to CHF 1,736 million and the negative replacement value revised from CHF 1,074 million to CHF 1,545 million. Further, the notional amount of "Precious metal products – Options bought and sold (OTC)" was revised from CHF 10,560 million to CHF 11,442 million. With the revision of the positive and negative replacement values, corresponding changes were made to the disclosure of model-based replacement values and the disclosure of replacement values before consideration of master netting agreements.

> Refer to "Note 13 – Derivative financial instruments" for further information.

As noted in our 2021 Annual Report, the Bank parent company identified an accounting issue that was not material to the prior period financial statements. The Bank parent company identified this accounting issue with respect to the net balance sheet treatment relating to the presentation of a limited population of certain securities lending and borrowing activities. As a result, the balance sheet positions for assets and liabilities from securities lending and borrowing, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and the related note disclosure related to these activities were presented on a gross basis and prior periods were revised. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Bank parent company has recorded these securities lending and borrowing transactions as a single unit of account and as a result these transactions will no longer be presented on a gross basis. The Bank parent company did not adjust prior period financial information, which continue to reflect a presentation on a gross basis.

3 Risk management, derivatives and hedging activities

Risk management

**Governance**

The risk governance framework of the Bank parent company and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Bank) is based on a "three lines of defense" governance model, where each line has a specific role with defined responsibilities and works in close collaboration to identify, assess and mitigate risks.

The first line of defense represents the function or business area that allows the risk to enter the Bank from clients, employees or other third parties or events and is responsible for identifying, measuring, managing and reporting risks on a front-to-back basis in line with the Board's risk appetite. The first line of defense is fully accountable for managing risks inherent in its activities.

The second line of defense consists of independent risk management, compliance and control functions which are responsible for establishing risk management framework and associated control standards, and providing independent challenge to the activities, processes and controls carried out by the first line of defense. In this context, the Risk function (Risk), for example, is responsible for articulating and designing the risk appetite framework across the Bank. The second line of defense can perform and complement the responsibility of identification, measurement, management and reporting of risks, while the first line of defense retains the overall accountability for risk management related to its activities. Independent risk management in the second line of defense is not limited to the Risk and Compliance functions. Instead, it comprises all relevant standard setting and independent review and challenge activities over processes and controls carried out by the first line of defense in relation to the risks faced.

The third line of defense is the Internal Audit function, which monitors the effectiveness of controls across various functions and operations, including risk management, compliance and governance practices.

Risk management of the Bank is aligned to the overall risk management governance of the Group. All members of the Board and the Executive Board of the Bank are also members of the Board

520

and the Executive Board of the Group. The Bank's governance includes a committee structure and a comprehensive set of corporate policies which are developed, reviewed and approved by the Board, the Executive Board, their respective committees, the Chief Risk Officer of the Group (CRO) and the board of directors of significant subsidiaries, in accordance with their respective responsibilities and levels of authority.

**Board of Directors**

The Board is responsible for the Bank's overall strategic direction, supervision and control, and for defining the Bank's overall tolerance for risk. In particular, the Board approves the risk management framework and sets overall risk appetite for the Group in consultation with its Risk Committee, among other responsibilities and authorities defined in the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations (OGR).

The **Risk Committee** is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities of risk management. These responsibilities include the oversight of the enterprise-wide risk management and practices, the promotion of a sound risk culture with clear accountability and ownership, the review of key risks and resources, and the assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Group's risk function.

The **Audit Committee** is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight duties by monitoring management's approach with respect to financial reporting, internal controls, accounting and legal and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the Audit Committee monitors the qualifications, independence and performance of external auditors and Internal Audit.

The **Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee** is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight duties with respect to the Bank's exposure to financial crime risk. It is tasked with monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of financial crime compliance programs and initiatives focused on improving conduct and vigilance within the context of combatting financial crime.

The **Compensation Committee** is responsible for determining, reviewing and proposing compensation and related principles for the Bank. Under the compensation risk framework, various corporate functions including Risk, Compliance, General Counsel, People, Internal Audit and Product Control, provide input for the assessment of the divisions' overall risk and conduct performance and determine an overall risk rating. The overall risk rating is shared and discussed with the chairs of the Audit Committee, Conduct and Financial Crime Control Committee and Risk Committee, and is contemplated as part of the divisions' and certain individuals' performance.

The **Digital Transformation and Technology Committee** is responsible for assisting the Board in setting, steering and overseeing the execution of the bank's data, digitalization and technology strategy. The committee is tasked with overseeing the strategically aligned execution of the bank's major digitalization and technology initiatives as well as governance standards for digital transformation across the bank.

**Executive Board**

The Executive Board is responsible for establishing the Bank's strategic business plans, subject to approval by the Board, and implementing such plans. It further reviews and coordinates significant initiatives and approves bank-wide policies. The CRO and the Chief Compliance Officer of the Group (CCO) represent the Risk and Compliance functions, respectively, and provide regular information and reports to the Executive Board and the Board.

The **Executive Board Risk Management Committee (ExB RMC)**, co-chaired by the Group's CEO, CRO and CCO, is primarily responsible for steering and monitoring the development and execution of the Group's risk management strategy, approving risk appetite for financial and non-financial risks under its authority, monitoring risk appetite metrics including limit breaches and remediation, as well as reviewing the aggregate and highest risk exposures and risk concentrations. The ExB RMC approves applications for risk limits that require final approval by the Risk Committee or the Board. The ExB RMC is also responsible for reviewing and assessing the internal control system and resolving risk issues raised by subordinated risk committees or ExB RMC members, or escalation to the Board.

The **Group Capital Allocation and Liability Management Committee (Group CALMC)** reviews the funding and balance sheet trends and activities, plans and monitors regulatory and business liquidity requirements and internal and regulatory capital adequacy. Group CALMC also reviews and proposes the contingency funding plan for approval by the Board, reviews the position taking of interest rate risk in the banking book and decides on changes in approaches relating to investment of own equity. Further, it sets internal targets, approves and reviews adherence to internal targets for capital allocation, funding, liquidity and capital management actions, including the review and monitoring of share repurchases.

The **Credit Suisse AG Parent Capital Allocation, Liability and Risk Management Committee (Credit Suisse AG Parent CALRMC)** reviews the capital, liquidity and funding trends and activities of Credit Suisse AG (Bank parent company). The Credit Suisse AG Parent CALRMC reviews and challenges the financial and capital plans of major subsidiaries of the Bank parent company, including key risks and key dependencies, such as dividends or other capital repatriations from the major subsidiaries to the Bank parent company, ahead of approvals by the respective subsidiary governance bodies. The committee also monitors and reviews the Bank parent company's aggregate risk profile, in particular the Bank parent company-specific vulnerabilities, and approves risk appetite for the Bank parent company and its branches.

The **Valuation Risk Management Committee (VARMC)** is responsible for establishing policies regarding the valuation of

521

certain material assets and the policies and calculation methodologies applied in the valuation process. Further, VARMC is responsible for monitoring and assessing valuation risks, reviewing inventory valuation conclusions and directing the resolution of significant inventory valuation issues.

**Risk appetite framework**

The Bank maintains a comprehensive Bank-wide risk appetite framework, which is governed by a global policy and provides a robust foundation for risk appetite setting and management across the Bank. A key element of the framework is a detailed statement of the Board-approved risk appetite which is aligned to the Bank's financial and capital plans. The framework also encompasses the processes and systems for assessing the appropriate level of risk appetite required to constrain the Bank's overall risk profile.

The Bank's risk appetite framework is governed by an overarching global policy that encompasses the suite of specific policies, processes and systems, with which the risk constraints are calibrated and the risk profile is managed. Strategic risk objectives (SROs) are effectively embedded across the organization at the Bank, business division and legal entity level through a suite of different types of risk measures (quantitative and qualitative) as part of the Bank's efforts to ensure it operates within the thresholds defined by the Board. The SROs are regularly assessed as part of the continuing enhancements to the Bank's risk management processes. In February 2023, the Board approved an enhanced set of SROs to support the Bank's strategic objectives, which consist of:

■ promoting stability of earnings to support performance in line with financial objectives;

■ ensuring sound management of funding and liquidity in normal and stressed conditions;

■ maintaining capital adequacy under both normal and stressed conditions;

■ maintaining the integrity of the Bank's business and operations;

■ controlling concentrations within position risk or revenues which may pose a material risk to the Bank;

■ managing environmental, social and governance risks as well as impacts related to the provision of financial services in line with our sustainability principles and commitments; and

■ managing intercompany risk.

Bank-wide risk appetite is determined in partnership with the financial and capital planning process at least annually, based on bottom-up forecasts, risk-reward and divisional objectives that reflect planned risk usage by the businesses and top-down, in alignment with Board-driven strategic risk objectives and risk appetite. Scenario-based stress testing of financial and capital plans is an essential element in the risk appetite calibration process, through which the strategic risk objectives, financial resources and business plans are aligned. The risk appetite is approved through a number of internal governance forums, including the Credit Suisse AG Parent CALRMC, the Risk Committee and, subsequently, by the Board. Ad hoc risk appetite reviews may be triggered by material market events, material loss events, material revisions to the financial and capital plans, the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) results as well as following breaches of Board-level risk constraints.

The risk appetite statement is the formal plan, approved by the Board, for Bank-wide risk appetite. Legal entity risk appetites are set by the local legal entity board of directors within the limits established by the Bank.

A core aspect of the Bank's risk appetite framework is a sound system of integrated risk constraints. These allow the Bank to maintain the risk profile within its overall risk appetite, and encourage meaningful discussion between the relevant businesses, Risk functions and members of senior management around the evolution of the Bank's risk profile and risk appetite. Considerations include changing external factors (such as market developments, geopolitical conditions and client demand) as well as internal factors (such as financial resources, business needs and strategic views). The Bank's risk appetite framework utilizes a suite of different types of risk constraints to reflect the aggregate risk appetite of the Bank. The risk constraints restrict the Bank's maximum balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposure given the market environment, business strategy and financial resources available to absorb losses.

**Risk coverage and management**

The Bank uses a wide range of risk management practices to address the variety of risks that arise from its business activities. Policies, processes, standards, risk assessment and measurement methodologies, risk appetite constraints, and risk monitoring and reporting are key components of its risk management practices. The Bank's risk management practices complement each other in the Bank's analysis of potential loss, support the identification of interdependencies and interactions of risks across the organization and provide a comprehensive view of its exposures. The Bank regularly reviews and updates its risk management practices to promote consistency with its business activities and relevance to its business and financial strategies. The Bank's main risk types include the following:

■ Capital risk

■ Credit risk

■ Market risk

■ Funding liquidity risk

■ Non-financial risk

■ Model risk

■ Reputational risk

■ Climate-related risks

■ Business risk

■ Fiduciary risk

■ Pension risk

Climate-related risks are a core element of sustainability risks. Sustainability risks are potentially adverse impacts on the environment, on people or society, which may be caused by, contributed to or directly linked to financial service providers, usually through the activities of their clients. These may manifest themselves as

522

reputational risks, but potentially also other risk types such as credit or non-financial risks. Credit Suisse considers sustainability risks in its Group-wide reputational risk review process.

> Refer to "Reputational risk" for further information on sustainability risks.

**Capital risk**

Capital risk is the risk that the Bank does not have adequate capital to support its activities and maintain the minimum capital requirements. The Bank maintains a robust and comprehensive framework for assessing capital adequacy, defining internal capital targets and ensuring that these capital targets are consistent with the Bank's overall risk profile and the current operating environment.

Capital risk results from the Bank's risk exposures, available capital resources, regulatory requirements and accounting standards.

The stress testing framework and economic risk capital are tools used by the Bank to evaluate and manage capital risk. The capital management framework is designed to ensure that the Bank meets all regulatory capital requirements for the Bank and its regulated subsidiaries.

**Stress testing framework**

Stress testing (or scenario analysis) represents a risk management approach that formulates hypothetical questions, including what would happen to the Bank's portfolio if, for example, historic or adverse forward-looking events were to occur.

Stress testing is a fundamental element of the Bank-wide risk appetite framework included in overall risk management to ensure that the Bank's financial position and risk profile provide sufficient resilience to withstand the impact of severe economic conditions. Stress testing results are monitored against limits, and are used in risk appetite discussions and strategic business planning and to support the Bank's ICAAP. Within the risk appetite framework, the ExB RMC sets Bank-wide and divisional stressed position loss limits to correspond to minimum post-stress capital ratios.

**Economic risk capital**

Economic risk capital estimates the amount of capital needed to remain solvent and in business under extreme market, business and operating conditions over the period of one year, given a target financial strength (the Bank's long-term credit rating). This framework allows the Bank to assess, monitor and manage capital adequacy and solvency risk in both "going concern" and "gone concern" scenarios.

**Credit risk**

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising 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.

Credit risk can arise from the execution of the Bank's business strategy in the divisions and includes risk positions such as exposures directly held in the form of lending products (including loans, money market deposits and credit guarantees) or traded products (derivatives, securities financing), shorter-term exposures such as underwriting commitments pending distribution, and settlement risk related to the exchange of cash or securities outside of typical delivery versus payment structures.

The Bank uses a credit risk management framework which provides for the consistent evaluation, measurement and management of credit risk across the Bank. Assessment of credit risk exposures for internal risk estimates and risk-weighted assets are calculated based on probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD) models. The credit risk framework incorporates the following core elements:

■ counterparty and transaction assessments: application of internal credit ratings (PD), assignment of LGD and EAD values in relation to counterparties and transactions;

■ credit limits: establishment of credit limits, including limits based on notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure, subject to approval by delegated authority holders, to serve as primary risk controls on exposures and to prevent undue risk concentrations;

■ credit monitoring, impairments and provisions: processes to support the ongoing monitoring and management of credit exposures, supporting the early identification of deterioration and any subsequent impact; and

■ risk mitigation: active management of credit exposures through the use of cash sales, participations, collateral, guarantees, insurance or hedging instruments.

In addition to traditional credit exposure measurement, monitoring and management using current and potential future exposure metrics, Credit Risk performs counterparty and portfolio credit risk assessments of the impact of various internal stress test scenarios. Credit Risk assesses the impact to credit risk exposures arising from market movements in accordance with the scenario narrative, which can further support the identification of concentration or tail risks. Its scenario suite includes historical scenarios as well as forward-looking scenarios which are used across the Risk function.

**Counterparty and transaction assessments**

The Bank evaluates and assesses counterparties and clients to whom it has credit exposures. For the majority of counterparties and clients, the Bank uses internally developed statistical rating models to determine internal credit ratings which are used across the Risk function.

> Refer to "Credit quality information" in Note 21 – Expected credit losses and credit quality for further information on counterparty transaction assessments.

**Credit limits**

Credit exposures are managed at the counterparty and ultimate parent level in accordance with credit limits which apply in relation to notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure where appropriate. Credit limits are established to constrain the lending business where exposure is typically related to committed loan amounts, and similarly in relation to the trading business where exposure is typically subject to model-based

523

estimation of future exposure amounts. Credit limits to counterparties and groups of connected companies are subject to formal approval under delegated authority within the divisions where the credit exposures are generated, and, where significant in terms of size or risk profile, are subject to further escalation to the Group chief credit officer or the CRO.

In addition to counterparty and ultimate parent exposures, credit limits and flags are also applied at the portfolio level to monitor and manage risk concentrations such as to specific industries, countries or products. In addition, credit risk concentration is regularly supervised by credit and risk management committees. Breaches of credit limits and other risk constraints, including stress scenario impacts, are monitored on an ongoing basis with formal escalation procedures in place. Limit breaches require escalation to the relevant limit setting authority.

**Credit monitoring, impairments and provisions**

A credit quality monitoring process is performed to provide for early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of clients, and includes regular asset and collateral quality reviews, business and financial statement analysis, and relevant economic and industry studies. Credit Risk maintains regularly updated watch lists and holds review meetings to re-assess counterparties that could be subject to adverse changes in creditworthiness. The review of the credit quality of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment.

In the event that a deterioration in creditworthiness is likely to result in a default, credit exposures are transferred to the regional recovery management functions within Credit Risk. The determination of any allowance for credit losses in relation to such exposures is based on an assessment of the exposure profile and expectations for recovery. The recoverability of loans in recovery management is regularly reviewed. The frequency of reviews depends on the individual risk profile of the respective positions.

The Bank has an impairment process for loans valued at amortized cost which are specifically classified as potential problem loans, non-performing loans, non-interest-earning loans or restructured loans. The Bank maintains specific allowances for credit losses, which the Bank considers to be a reasonable estimate of losses identified in the existing credit portfolio, and provides for credit losses based on a regular and detailed analysis of all counterparties, taking collateral value into consideration, where applicable. If uncertainty exists as to the repayment of either principal or interest, a specific allowance for credit losses is either created or adjusted accordingly. The specific allowance for credit losses is revalued regularly by the recovery management function depending on the risk profile of the borrower or credit-relevant events. The Bank regularly reviews the appropriateness of allowances for credit losses.

> Refer to "Estimating expected credit losses" in Note 21 – Expected credit losses and credit quality for further information on expected credit losses under the CECL accounting guidance.

**Risk mitigation**

Drawn and undrawn credit exposures are managed by taking financial and non-financial collateral supported by enforceable legal documentation, as well as by utilizing credit hedging techniques. Financial collateral in the form of cash, marketable securities (e.g., equities, bonds or funds) and guarantees serves to mitigate the inherent risk of credit loss and to improve recoveries in the event of a default. Financial collateral received in the form of securities is subject to controls on eligibility and is supported by frequent market valuation depending on the asset class and are monitored to determine whether any margin calls are required to ensure exposures remain adequately collateralized. Depending on the quality of the collateral, appropriate haircuts are applied for risk management purposes. Collateral monitoring, management and margining are applied to credit exposures resulting from both on balance sheet financing of securities and synthetic financing of positions for clients through derivative contracts.

Non-financial collateral such as residential and commercial real estate, tangible assets (e.g., ships or aircraft), inventories and commodities are valued at the time of credit approval and periodically thereafter depending on the type of credit exposure and collateral coverage ratio.

In addition to collateral, the Bank also utilizes credit hedging in the form of protection provided by single-name and index credit default swaps as well as structured hedging and insurance products. Credit hedging is used to mitigate risks arising from the loan portfolio, loan underwriting exposures and counterparty credit risk. Hedging is intended to reduce the risk of loss from a specific counterparty default or broader downturn in markets that impacts the overall credit risk portfolio. Credit hedging contracts are typically bilateral or centrally cleared derivative transactions and are subject to collateralized trading arrangements. The Bank evaluates hedging risk mitigation so that basis or tenor risk can be appropriately identified and managed.

In addition to collateral and hedging strategies, the Bank also actively manages its loan portfolio and may sell or sub-participate positions in the loan portfolio as a further form of risk mitigation.

**Market risk**

Market risk is the risk of financial loss arising from movements in market risk factors. The movements in market risk factors that generate financial losses are considered to be adverse changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices and other factors, such as market volatility and the correlation of market prices across asset classes. A typical transaction or position in financial instruments may be exposed to a number of different market risk factors. Market risks arise from both trading and non-trading activities.

Traded market risks mainly arise from the Bank's trading activities, primarily in the Investment Bank.

Non-traded market risk primarily relates to asset and liability mismatch exposures in the Bank's banking books. The Bank's businesses and Treasury have non-traded portfolios that carry market risks, mainly related to changes in interest rates but also to changes in foreign exchange rates.

524

The Bank uses market risk measurement and management methods capable of calculating comparable exposures across its many activities and employs focused tools that can model specific characteristics of certain instruments or portfolios. The tools are used for internal market risk management, internal market risk reporting and external disclosure purposes. The Bank's principal market risk measures for traded market risk are VaR, scenario analysis, as included in the stress testing framework, position risk, as included in the Bank's economic risk capital, and sensitivity analysis. These measures complement each other in the Bank's market risk assessment and are used to measure traded market risk at the Bank level. In addition, a counterparty market risk function is designed to support the management of counterparty risk, leveraging product-related market risk knowledge to complement the credit risk approach. The Bank's risk management practices are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate and fit for purpose.

Non-maturing products, such as savings accounts, have no contractual maturity date or direct market-linked interest rate and are risk-managed on a pooled basis using replication portfolios on behalf of the business divisions. Replication portfolios transform non-maturing products into a series of fixed-term products that approximate the re-pricing and volume behavior of the pooled client transactions.

Structural foreign exchange risk is a market risk stemming from the Bank's investments in foreign operations denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency of the Bank, net of hedges, and is subject to fluctuations in exchange rates. The risk is actively monitored by Treasury to ensure that the level of sensitivity of the Bank's CET1 ratio to adverse movements in foreign exchange rates is within parameters set out in the risk appetite framework. Non-structural foreign exchange risk relates to the foreign currency risk from banking book positions other than from the Bank's investment in foreign operations. This risk is managed under the Bank's traded market risk constraints framework.

**Funding liquidity risk**

Funding liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank, although solvent, either does not have sufficient financial resources to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due, or can secure such resources only at excessive cost.

The liquidity and funding strategy is approved by the Group CALMC and overseen by the Board. The implementation and execution of the funding and liquidity strategy is managed by Treasury. The global liquidity group centralizes control of liability and collateral management with the aim of optimizing liquidity sourcing, funding costs and the high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) portfolio within Treasury. Treasury ensures adherence to the Bank's funding policy and the global liquidity group is focused on the efficient coordination of the short-term unsecured and secured funding desks. This approach enhances the Bank's ability to manage potential liquidity and funding risks and to promptly adjust its liquidity and funding levels to meet stress situations. The Bank's liquidity and funding profile is regularly reported to the Credit Suisse AG Parent CALRMC, the Group CALMC and the Board, who define the Bank's risk tolerance, including liquidity risk, and set parameters for the balance sheet and funding usage of its businesses. The Board is responsible for defining the Bank's overall risk tolerance in the form of a risk appetite statement.

**Non-financial risk**

Non-financial risk is the risk of an adverse direct or indirect impact originating from sources outside the financial markets, including but not limited to operational risk, technology risk, cyber risk, compliance risk, regulatory risk, legal risk and conduct risk. Non-financial risk is inherent in most aspects of the Bank's business, including the systems and processes that support its activities. It comprises a large number of disparate risks that can manifest in a variety of ways. Examples include the risk of damage to physical assets, business disruption, failures relating to data integrity and trade processing, cyber attacks, internal or external fraudulent or unauthorized transactions, inappropriate cross-border activities, money laundering, improper handling of confidential information, conflicts of interest, improper gifts and entertainment and failure in duties to clients.

Non-financial risk can arise from a wide variety of internal and external forces, including human error, inappropriate conduct, failures in systems, processes and controls, pandemic, deliberate attack or natural and man-made disasters. Outsourcing and external third parties may also create risks around maintaining business processes, system stability, data loss, data management, reputation and regulatory compliance.

Each business area and function is responsible for its non-financial risks and the provision of adequate resources and procedures for the management of those risks. They are supported by the designated second line of defense functions responsible for independent risk and compliance oversight, methodologies, tools and reporting within their areas as well as working with management on non-financial risk issues that arise. Businesses and relevant control functions meet regularly to discuss risk issues and identify required actions to mitigate risks.

The Non-Financial Risk function oversees the Bank's established non-financial risk framework (NFRF), providing a consistent and unified approach to evaluating and monitoring the Bank's non-financial risks. Non-financial risk appetites are established and monitored under the Bank-wide risk appetite framework, aligned with the NFRF, which sets common minimum standards across the Bank for non-financial risk and control processes and review and challenge activities.

The Bank's activities to manage non-financial risk capital include scenario analysis and operational risk regulatory capital measurement. In addition, the Bank transfers the risk of potential losses from certain non-financial risks to third-party insurance companies in certain instances.

Non-financial risk scenario analysis is a forward-looking tool that is used to identify and measure exposure to a range of potential adverse events, such as unauthorized trading, transaction processing errors and compliance issues. These scenarios help businesses

525

and functions assess the suitability of controls in light of existing risks and estimate hypothetical but plausible risk exposures. Scenarios are developed to support stressed loss projections and capital calculations in response to requirements set by regulatory agencies in the jurisdictions in which the Bank operates.

The Bank uses internally validated and approved models to calculate its regulatory capital requirements for non-financial risk (also referred to as "operational risk capital") across the Bank and for major legal entities. For Bank regulatory capital requirements, a model under the advanced measurement approach (AMA) is applied.

Operational risk capital for the Bank parent company is determined using an income-based allocation of Group-level capital. The ratio of the three-year average of gross income (as defined for calculating the basic indicator approach for operational risk capital under the Basel framework) between the Bank parent company and the Group defines an allocation key used to scale the Group AMA value to reported levels for the Bank parent company. In line with the Group, the operational risk capital for the Bank parent company is now reported in US dollars.

**Model risk**

Model risk is the risk of adverse consequences from decisions made based on model results that may be incorrect, misinterpreted or used inappropriately. All models and qualitative estimation approaches are imperfect approximations and assumptions that are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty in their output depending on, among other factors, the model's complexity and its intended application. As a result, modeling and estimation errors may result in inappropriate business decisions, financial loss, regulatory and reputational risk and incorrect or inadequate capital reporting. Model errors, intrinsic uncertainty and inappropriate use are the primary contributors to aggregate Bank-wide model risk. This framework is owned by the Model Risk Management function, which is structured as a second line of defense independent from the first line of defense, i.e., the model users, developers and supervisors who own, develop, implement and maintain models.

Through the global model risk management and governance framework the Bank seeks to identify, measure and mitigate significant risks arising from the use of models embedded within the Bank's global model ecosystem. Model risks can be managed through a well-designed and robust model risk management framework, encompassing model governance policies and procedures, model validation best practices and actionable model risk reporting.

The Model Risk Management function is responsible for overseeing model risk at Credit Suisse and ensuring compliance with model governance policies and standards. The Model Risk Management function reviews models, reports model limitations to key stakeholders, tracks remediation plans for validation findings and reports on model risk tolerances and metrics to senior management. The Model Risk Management function oversees controls to facilitate a complete and accurate Bank-wide model inventory and coordinates semi-annual attestations by the first line of defense with the aim of achieving completeness and accuracy of its model inventory.

**Reputational risk**

Reputational risk is the risk that negative perception by the Bank's stakeholders, including clients, counterparties, employees, shareholders, regulators and the general public, may adversely impact client acquisition and damage the Bank's business relationships with clients and counterparties, affecting staff morale and reducing access to funding sources.

Reputational risk may arise from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, the nature or purpose of a proposed transaction or service, the identity or activity of a potential client, the regulatory or political climate in which the business will be transacted, significant public attention surrounding the transaction itself or the potential sustainability risks of a transaction. Sustainability risks have potentially adverse impacts on the environment, on people or society, which may be caused by, contributed to or directly linked to financial service providers, usually through the activities of their clients. These may manifest themselves as reputational risks, but potentially also as other risk types such as credit or non-financial risks. Reputational risk may also arise from reputational damage in the aftermath of a non-financial risk incident, such as cyber crime or the failure by employees to meet expected conduct and ethical standards.

Reputational risk is included in the Bank's risk appetite framework to ensure that risk-taking is aligned with the approved risk appetite. The Bank highly values its reputation and is fully committed to protecting it through a prudent approach to risk-taking and a responsible approach to business. This is achieved through a culture of risk awareness as well as dedicated processes, resources and policies focused on identifying, evaluating, managing and reporting potential reputational risks. This is also achieved by applying the highest standards of personal accountability and ethical conduct as set out in the Group's Code of Conduct and the Group's approach to cultural values and behaviors. Reputational risk potentially arising from proposed business transactions, client activity or joining initiatives or affiliations (including joining third party groups, providing support to causes, speaking engagements, charitable donations, political donations directly or through sponsorships) is assessed in the reputational risk review process. The Group's global policy on reputational risk requires employees to be conservative when assessing potential reputational impact and, where certain indicators give rise to potential reputational risk, the relevant business proposal or service must be submitted through the reputational risk review process.

For transactions with potential sustainability risks, the internal specialist unit Sustainability Risk evaluates the nature of the transaction and Credit Suisse's role, the identity and activities of the client and the regulatory context of its operations, and assesses the environmental and social aspects of the client's operations, products or services. The team determines whether the client's activities are consistent with the relevant industry standards and whether the potential transaction is compatible with Credit Suisse's policies and guidelines for sensitive sectors. The outcome of this analysis is submitted to the responsible business unit and/or entered into the reputational risk review process.

526

**Climate-related risks**

Climate-related risks are the potentially adverse direct and indirect impacts on the Bank's financial metrics, operations or reputation due to transition or physical effects of climate change. Climate-related risks are a core element of sustainability risks.

The Bank publishes its climate-related disclosures following the structure provided by the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). These are included in Credit Suisse's Sustainability Report as well as in the TCFD Report. The disclosures include quantitative metrics alongside explanations of the frameworks relied upon, and Credit Suisse's overall climate strategy.

> Refer to credit-suisse.com/sustainabilityreport for the Group's Sustainability Report 2022 and to credit-suisse.com/tcfd for an extract of disclosures in accordance with TCFD.

**Business risk**

Business risk is the risk of not achieving the financial goals and ambitions in connection with the Bank's strategy and how the business is managed in response to the external operating environment. External factors include both market and economic conditions, as well as shifts in the regulatory environment. Internally, the Bank faces risks arising from inappropriate strategic decisions, ineffective implementation of business strategies or an inability to adapt business strategies in response to changes in the operating environment, including in relation to client and competitor behavior.

The Bank's businesses are also exposed to a variety of risks that could adversely impact its dividend payments or share buyback programs, including risks associated with the illiquid investments of the Bank. These investments are defined as investments held in the banking book usually with a longer-term time horizon and are not subject to the Bank's market risk framework (e.g., VaR measurement). Illiquid investments include private equity, hedge fund and mutual fund seed and co-investments, strategic investments (e.g., joint ventures and minority investments) as well as other investments, such as collateralized loan obligations mandated by regulatory risk retention requirements. Trading assets and banking book loans are not covered under the illiquid investment risk framework.

Strategic and related financial plans are developed by each division annually and aggregated into a Group financial plan, which is reviewed by the CRO, CFO and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) before presentation to the full Executive Board and the Board. The divisions and legal entities, including the Bank parent company, operate a parallel and integrated planning process. The Group financial plan serves as the basis for the financial goals and ambitions against which the businesses and legal entities, including the Bank parent company, are assessed regularly throughout the year. These regular reviews include evaluations of financial performance, capitalization and capital usage, key business risks, overall operating environment and business strategy. This enables management to identify and execute changes to the Group's operations and strategy where needed.

**Fiduciary risk**

Fiduciary risk is the risk of financial loss arising when the Bank or its employees, acting in a fiduciary capacity as trustee, investment manager or as mandated by law, do not act in the best interest of the client in connection with the provision of advice and/or management of its client's assets including from a product-related market, credit, liquidity, counterparty and non-financial risk perspective.

With regard to fiduciary risk that relates to discretionary investment-related activities, assessing investment performance and reviewing forward-looking investment risks in client portfolios and investment funds is central to the Bank's investment oversight program. This program targets daily, monthly or quarterly monitoring of all portfolio management activities with independent analysis provided to senior management. Formal review meetings are in place as part of the Bank's efforts to ensure that investment performance and risks are in line with expectations and adequately supervised.

Fiduciary risks from activities other than discretionary investment management, such as the advised portfolios, are managed and monitored in a similar oversight program. This program is actively managed in cooperation with the Bank's compliance function and is based on the suitability framework.

**Pension risk**

Pension risk is the financial risk from contractual or other liabilities to which the Bank is exposed as a sponsor of and/or participant in pension plans. It is the risk that the Bank may be required to make unexpected payments or other contributions to a pension plan because of a potential obligation (i.e., underfunding).

Sources of risks can be broadly categorized into asset investment risks (e.g., underperformance of bonds, equities and alternative investments) and liability risks, primarily from changes in interest rates, inflation and longevity.

Use of derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

**Business policy for use of derivative financial instruments**

Derivatives are generally either privately negotiated over-the-counter (OTC) contracts or standard contracts transacted through regulated exchanges. The Bank parent company's most frequently used freestanding derivative products, entered into for trading and risk management purposes, include interest rate, credit default and cross-currency swaps, interest rate and foreign exchange options, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange and interest rate futures.

On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Bank parent company designates it as belonging to one of the following categories: trading activities; a risk management transaction that does not qualify as a hedge under accounting standards (referred to as an economic hedge);

527

a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability; or a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid relating to a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction.

**Economic hedges**

Economic hedges arise when the Bank parent company enters into derivative contracts for its own risk management purposes, but the economic relationships do not qualify for hedge accounting. These economic hedges include the following types:

■ interest rate derivatives to manage net interest rate risk on certain core banking business assets and liabilities;

■ foreign exchange derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk on certain core banking business revenue and expense items, core banking business assets and liabilities; as well as selected foreign participations against adverse movements in foreign exchange rates;

■ credit derivatives to manage credit risk on certain loan portfolios; and

■ futures to manage risk on equity positions including convertible bonds.

Derivatives used in economic hedges are included as trading assets or trading liabilities in the balance sheet.

**Hedge accounting**

Hedge accounting for the Bank parent company is determined, recorded and disclosed in accordance with US GAAP as allowed under Swiss GAAP statutory accounting rules for banks.

> Refer to "Note 13 – Derivative financial instruments" for further information on hedge accounting.

**Fair value hedges**

The Bank designates fair value hedges as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate volatility. The Bank uses derivatives to hedge for changes in fair value as a result of the interest rate risk associated with loans, debt securities held as available-for-sale and long-term debt instruments.

**Cash flow hedges**

The Bank hedges the variability in interest cash flows mainly on mortgages, loans and reverse repurchase agreements by using interest rate swaps to convert variable rate assets to fixed rates.

**Hedge effectiveness assessment**

The Bank parent company assesses the effectiveness of hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. The prospective assessment is made both at the inception of a hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, and requires the Bank parent company to justify its expectation that the relationship will be highly effective over future periods. The retrospective assessment is also performed on an ongoing basis and requires the Bank parent company to determine whether or not the hedging relationship has actually been effective.

4 Net income from interest activities

For the financial years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the average tax rate, defined as income tax expense divided by the sum of profit before income tax, was 2% and (2)%, respectively. Income tax expense for the financial years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 reflected a benefit of CHF 203 million and CHF 82 million, respectively, from the utilization of tax losses carried forward. The calculation is based on statutory tax rates applied to the taxable profit against which tax loss carry forwards were utilized.

17 Pension plans

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank parent company did not have any liabilities due to own pension plans.

> Refer to "Note 31 – Pension and other post-retirement benefits" in VIII –Consolidated financial statements – Credit Suisse (Bank) for further information.

**Swiss pension plans**

The Bank parent company's employees are covered by the pension plan of the "Pensionskasse der Credit Suisse Group (Schweiz)" and "Pensionskasse 2 der Credit Suisse Group (Schweiz)" (the Swiss pension plans). Most of the Group's Swiss subsidiaries and a few companies that have close business and financial ties with the Group participate in both plans. The Swiss pension plans are independent self-insured pension plans set up as trusts and qualify as defined contribution plans (savings plans) under Swiss law.

The Swiss pension plans' annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 26 based on the full population of covered employees. Individual annual financial statements for each participating company are not prepared. As multi-employer plans with unrestricted joint liability for all participating companies, the economic interest in the Swiss pension plans' over- or underfunding is allocated to each participating company based on allocation keys determined by the plans.

**International pension plans**

The Bank parent company's international employees are covered by mandatory and supplementary pension plans in various locations. These are defined benefit and defined contribution plans, which cover benefits such as disability, old age and death, termination and sickness.

**Write-offs**

In the Bank parent company's recovery management function covering the Investment Bank and parts of Wealth Management, once the credit provision is greater than 90% of the loan's notional amount, a position may be written down to its net carrying value in the subsequent quarter if all recovery options are exhausted. In the Bank parent company's recovery management functions for the remaining parts of Wealth Management, write-offs are made based on an individual counterparty assessment. An evaluation is performed on the need for write-offs on impaired loans individually and on an ongoing basis, if it is likely that parts of a loan or the entire loan will not be recoverable. Write-offs of residual loan balances are executed once available debt enforcement procedures are exhausted or, in certain cases, upon a restructuring.

Gross write-offs on loans included in the allowance for credit losses year-on-year movements are reflected in the column "Utilized for purpose". Gross write-offs of CHF 205 million in 2022 compared to gross write-offs of CHF 315 million in 2021. In 2022, gross write-offs were mainly related to the sale of coal mining facilities and to individual positions in the consulting services sector, European mortgages and ship finance. In 2021, gross write-offs mainly resulted from the sale of corporate & institutional loans related to a conglomerate in the Asia Pacific region and a real estate company. Write-offs also included positions in ship finance and corporate lending.

Uncollectible accrued interest receivables are written off by reversing net interest income from interest activities.

**Main classes of financial assets subject to expected credit loss measurement and risk characteristics**

**Loans**

The Bank parent company's loan portfolios, the main class of financial assets subject to the CECL accounting guidance, are reflected in the balance sheet in due from customers, due from banks and mortgage loans. For the US GAAP CECL accounting guidance applied by the Group and its subsidiaries, loans, which include sales-type and direct financing leases, are classified into two broad categories, consumer loans and corporate & institutional loans. Consumer loans include mortgages, loans collateralized by securities and consumer finance. Corporate & institutional loans include real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, loans to financial institutions and loans to governments and public institutions. The main risk characteristics of each of these sub-categories and the line items of the Bank parent company's balance sheet, which include these portfolios, are described below:

■ Mortgages includes lending instruments secured by residential real estate; such credit exposure is sensitive to the level of interest rates and unemployment as well as real estate valuation. Mortgages are reported in mortgage loans, except for building loans, which are reported in due from customers.

■ Loans collateralized by securities primarily includes lending secured by marketable financial collateral (e.g., equities, bonds, investment funds and precious metals); such credit exposure is sensitive to market prices for securities which impact the value of financial collateral. All loans collateralized by securities are reported in due from customers.

■ Consumer finance includes lending to private individuals such as personal loans; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs, including economic growth, unemployment and interest rates. All consumer finance loans are reported in due from customers.

■ Real estate includes lending backed by commercial or income-producing real estate; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs, including economic growth, unemployment, interest rates and industrial production as well as real estate valuation. A majority of real estate loans are reported in due from customers, with the remaining balance in mortgage loans.

■ Commercial and industrial loans includes lending to corporate clients including small and medium-sized enterprises, large corporates and multinational clients; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs, including economic growth, unemployment and industrial production. Most of the commercial and industrial loans are reported in due from customers, with the remaining balance in mortgage loans.

■ Financial institutions includes lending to financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies; such credit exposure

541

is sensitive to MEFs, including economic growth. Most of the loans to financial institutions are reported in due from customers, with the remaining balances in due from banks and mortgage loans.

■ Governments and public institutions includes lending to central government and state-owned enterprises; such credit exposure is sensitive to MEFs, including economic growth. All loans to governments and public institutions are reported in due from customers.

As of December 31, 2022, loans collateralized by securities, commercial and industrial loans and loans to financial institutions were the largest sub-categories within the loan portfolio of the Bank parent company.

**Financial investments – debt securities held-to-maturity** 

In 2022, the Bank parent company purchased US Treasury securities amounting to CHF 971 million. As of December 31, 2022, these US Treasury securities held-to-maturity had a carrying value of CHF 921 million and were rated "AAA" based on the Bank parent company's internal counterparty rating. US Treasury securities have a history of no credit losses and market price movements mainly reflect changes in market interest rates. Based on this history of no credit losses and the Bank parent company's view of the current and forecasted economic environment, the Bank parent company expects the risk of non-payment for US Treasuries to be zero and does not have an allowance for credit losses for these securities. The credit quality of these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis and the zero-loss expectation is validated on at least a quarterly basis through the Bank parent company's governance structure involving the Credit Risk and Treasury functions.

As of December 31, 2021, the Bank parent company held a portfolio of debt securities held-to-maturity that represented positions in a commercial paper with a single issuer with original maturities up to three months which are held as collateral in a secured structured credit-linked loan transaction for a client. These commercial papers met the requirement of a cash equivalent under US GAAP, were highly rated and also qualified as high quality liquid assets. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of this portfolio of debt securities held-to-maturity was CHF 305 million, with no related allowance for credit losses.

**Other classes of financial assets**

Other classes of financial assets subject to the CECL accounting guidance, which are not reported as loans or debt securities held-to-maturity described above, include mainly the following balance sheet positions and related risk characteristics:

■ Cash and other liquid assets includes primarily cash balances with central banks; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the central bank.

■ Due from banks includes balances held with banks. In addition to certain loans to financial institutions described further above, due from banks includes primarily nostro accounts as well as settlement accounts and margin accounts with broker banks; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the counterparty bank.

■ Due from customers includes balances held with customers. In addition to the non-mortgage loans described further above, due from customers includes primarily settlement accounts and margin accounts with non-bank brokers; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the related counterparty.

■ Securities borrowing and reverse repurchase agreements includes lending and borrowing of securities against cash or other financial collateral; such credit exposure is sensitive to the credit rating and profile of the counterparty and relative changes in the valuation of securities and financial collateral.

**Estimating expected credit losses**

The following key elements and processes of estimating expected credit losses apply to the Bank parent company's major classes of financial assets that are subject to the CECL accounting guidance.

**Expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures**

Expected credit loss models for non-impaired credit exposures have three main inputs: (i) PD, (ii) LGD and (iii) EAD. These parameters are derived from internally developed statistical models which are based on historical data and leverage regulatory models under the advanced internal ratings-based (A-IRB) approach. Expected credit loss models use forward-looking information to derive point-in-time estimates of forward-looking term structures.

PD estimates are based on statistical rating models and tailored to various categories of counterparties and exposures. These statistical rating models are based on internally and externally compiled data comprising both quantitative and qualitative factors. A migration of a counterparty or exposure between rating classes generally leads to a change in the estimate of the associated PD. Lifetime PDs are estimated considering the expected macroeconomic environment and the contractual maturities of exposures, adjusted for estimated prepayment rates where applicable. Internal credit ratings form a significant input to the model derived CECL PDs. For the majority of counterparties, internal credit ratings are determined via statistical rating models, which are developed under the A-IRB approach of the Basel framework. The models are tailored to the specific business of the respective obligor and are intended to reflect the risk of default over a one-year period of each counterparty. The Bank parent company has received approval from its primary regulator to use, and has fully implemented, the A-IRB approach.

LGD estimates the size of the expected loss that may arise on a credit exposure in the event of a default. The Bank parent company estimates LGD based on the history of recovery rates of claims against defaulted counterparties, considering, as appropriate, factors such as differences in product structure, collateral type, seniority of the claim, counterparty industry and recovery

542

costs of any collateral that is integral to the financial asset. Certain LGD values are also calibrated to reflect the expected macroeconomic environment.

EAD represents the expected amount of credit exposure in the event of a default. It reflects the current drawn exposure with a counterparty and an expectation regarding the future evolution of the credit exposure under the contract or facility, including amortization and prepayments. The EAD of a financial asset is the gross carrying amount at default, which is modeled based on historical data by applying a term structure and considering portfolio-specific factors such as the drawn amount as of the reporting date, the facility limit, amortization schedules, financial collateral and product type. For certain financial assets, the Bank parent company determines EAD by modeling the range of possible exposure outcomes at various points in time using scenario and statistical techniques.

Where a relationship to macroeconomic indicators is statistically sound and in line with economic expectations, the parameters are modeled accordingly, incorporating the Bank parent company's forward-looking forecasts and applying regional segmentations where appropriate.

The ability to forecast credit losses over the reasonable and supportable period is based on the ability to forecast economic activity over a reasonable and supportable time window. The Bank parent company's macroeconomic and market variable forecasts for the CECL scenarios cover a five-year time horizon. For periods beyond that reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Bank parent company immediately reverts to average economic environment variables as model input factors. In the downside and upside scenarios, mean reversion to the base case projected paths will commence in year three, with full convergence occurring in years four and five for certain macroeconomic factors.

Alternative qualitative estimation approaches are used for certain products. For lombard loans (including share-backed loans), the PD/LGD approach used does not consider the Bank parent company's forward-looking forecasts as these are not meaningful for the estimate of expected credit losses in light of the short time-frame considered for closing out positions under daily margining arrangements. For international private residential mortgages and securitizations, the Bank parent company applies qualitative approaches where credit specialists follow a structured process and use their expertise and judgment to determine the amounts of expected credit losses.

The Bank parent company measures expected credit losses considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including any borrower's extension options) during which it is exposed to credit risk, even if the Bank parent company considers a longer period for risk management purposes. The maximum contractual period extends to the date at which the Bank parent company has the right to require repayment of an advance or terminate an irrevocable loan commitment or a credit guarantee.

For off-balance sheet credit exposures, methodology, scenarios and MEFs used to estimate the provision for expected credit losses are the same as those used to estimate the allowance for credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. For the EAD models, a credit conversion factor or similar methodology is applied to off-balance sheet credit exposures in order to project the additional drawn amount between current utilization and the committed facility amount.

**Expected credit losses on impaired credit exposures**

Expected credit losses for individually impaired credit exposures are measured by performing an in-depth review and analysis of these exposures, considering factors such as recovery and exit options as well as collateral and the risk profile of the borrower. The individual measurement of expected credit losses for impaired financial assets also considers reasonable and supportable forward-looking information that is relevant to the individual counterparty (idiosyncratic information) and reflective of the macroeconomic environment that the borrower is exposed to, apart from any historical loss information and current conditions. If there are different scenarios relevant for the individual expected credit loss measurement, they are considered on a probability-weighted basis. The related allowance for credit losses is revalued by the recovery management function, at least annually or more frequently, depending on the risk profile of the borrower or credit-relevant events.

For credit-impaired financial assets, the expected credit loss is measured using (i) the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the contractual interest rate of the loan, (ii) the fair market value of collateral where the loan is collateral-dependent, (iii) the market price if a loan is traded and/or a market price can be readily determined for a related instrument or (iv) alternative recovery valuation methods such as multiples and liquidation values of assets. The impaired credit exposures and related allowance are revalued to reflect the passage of time.

For all classes of financial assets, the trigger to detect an impaired credit exposure is non-payment of interest, principal amounts or other contractual payment obligations, or when, for example, the Bank parent company may become aware of specific adverse information relating to a counterparty's ability to meet its contractual obligations, despite the current repayment status of its particular credit facility. For credit exposures where repayment is dependent on collateral, a decrease in collateral values can be an additional trigger to detect an impairment.

Restructured loans are considered impaired credit exposures in line with the bank's policies and subject to individual assessment and provisioning for expected credit losses by the recovery management function.

In addition, loans managed on the Swiss platform are reviewed depending on event-driven developments. All corporate and institutional loans are reviewed at least annually based on the borrower's financial statements and any indications of difficulties they may experience. Loans that are not impaired, but which are of

543

special concern due to changes in covenants, downgrades, negative financial news and other adverse developments, are either transferred to recovery management or included on a watch list. All loans on the watch list are reviewed at least quarterly to determine whether they should be released, remain on the watch list or be moved to recovery management. For loans in recovery management from the Swiss platform, larger positions are reviewed on a quarterly basis for any event-driven changes. Otherwise, these loans are reviewed at least annually. All loans in recovery management on international platforms are reviewed on at least a monthly basis.

**Macroeconomic scenarios**

The estimation and application of forward-looking information requires quantitative analysis and significant expert judgment. The Bank parent company's estimation of expected credit losses is based on a discounted probability-weighted estimate that considers three future macroeconomic scenarios: a baseline scenario, an upside scenario and a downside scenario. The baseline scenario represents the most likely outcome. The two other scenarios represent more optimistic and more pessimistic outcomes, with the downside scenario being more severe than the upside scenario. The scenarios are probability-weighted according to the Bank parent company's best estimate of their relative likelihood based on historical frequency, an assessment of the current business and credit cycles as well as the macroeconomic factor trends.

The scenario design team within the Group's Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) function determines the macroeconomic factors (MEFs) and market projections that are relevant for the Bank parent company's three scenarios across the overall credit portfolio subject to the CECL accounting guidance. The scenario design team formulates the baseline scenario projections used for the calculation of expected credit losses from the Group's global chief investment office in-house economic research forecasts and, where deemed appropriate, from external sources such as the Bloomberg consensus of economist forecasts (covering the views of other investment banks and external economic consultancies), forecasts from nonpartisan think tanks, major central banks and multilateral institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank. For factors where no in-house or credible external forecasts are available, an internal model is used to calibrate the baseline scenario projections. The downside and upside scenarios are derived from these baseline scenario projections. These three scenario projections are subject to a review and challenge process and any feedback from this process is incorporated into the scenario projections by the ERM scenario design team. The CECL scenario design working group is the governance forum. The working group performs an additional review and challenge and subsequently recommends approval of the MEFs and related market projections as well as the occurrence probability weights that are allocated to the baseline, downside and upside scenarios. MEFs and related market projections as well as the scenario occurrence probability weights used for the calculation of expected credit losses are approved by the Senior Management Approval Committee.

**Current-period estimate of expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures**

One of the most significant judgments involved in estimating the Bank parent company's allowance for credit losses relates to the macroeconomic forecasts used to estimate credit losses over the forecast period, with modeled credit losses being driven primarily by a set of 34 MEFs. The key MEFs used in each of the macroeconomic scenarios for the calculation of the expected credit losses include, but are not limited to, GDP and industrial production growth rates. These MEFs are used in the portfolio- and region-specific CECL models and have been selected based on statistical criteria and expert judgment to explain expected credit losses. The table "Selected macroeconomic factors" includes the Bank parent company's forecast of selected MEFs for 2023 and 2024, as estimated as of December 31, 2022. The comparative information includes the forecast of MEFs selected and estimated as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the forecast macroeconomic scenarios were weighted 50% for the baseline, 40% for the downside and 10% for the upside scenario, unchanged compared to the scenario weightings applicable as of December 31, 2021. The MEFs included in the table represent the four-quarter average forecasts for 2023 and 2024 at the end of each reporting period. These MEFs forecasts are recalibrated on a monthly basis and certain CECL models consume data with a time lag or are influenced by statistical base effects from an earlier period. The quarterly series for China real GDP and world industrial production returned to pre-pandemic levels (i.e., the fourth quarter of 2019) in the second and third quarter of 2020, respectively, while the quarterly series for US real GDP returned to pre-pandemic levels in the first quarter of 2021, based on the latest published statistical data available. The macroeconomic and market variable projections incorporate adjustments to reflect the impact of accelerated monetary policy tightening by the world's major central banks in response to high inflation rates, the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on energy and food prices as well as the macroeconomic impact of the property sector slowdown in China. While GDP and industrial production growth rates as well as unemployment rates are significant inputs to the forecast models, a range of other inputs are also incorporated for all three scenarios to provide projections for future economic and market conditions. Given the complex nature of the forecasting process, no single economic variable is viewed in isolation or independently of other inputs.

Expected credit losses are not solely derived from MEF projections. Model overlays based on expert judgment are also applied, considering historical loss experience and industry and counterparty reviews, and primarily impacting certain corporate and institutional loans portfolios. Such overlays are designed to address circumstances where in management's judgment the CECL model outputs are overly sensitive to the effect of economic inputs that exhibit significant deviation from their long-term historical averages. Overlays may also be used to capture judgment on the economic uncertainty from global or regional developments with severe impacts on economies. The Bank parent company's non-specific allowance for expected credit losses on balance sheet and off-balance sheet credit exposures as of December 31, 2022 decreased compared to December 31, 2021. Model overlays were recalibrated during the year to take into account updated input elements based on expert judgment which led to a release. Overlays continued to be closely aligned with the macroeconomic forecasts and associated scenario weightings.

**Interest income attributable to the passage of time**

For financial assets held at amortized cost, for which the Bank parent company measures expected credit losses based on the discounted cash flow methodology, the entire change in present value is reported in the statement of income in (increase)/release of allowance for default risks and losses from interest activities.

**Credit quality information**

The Bank parent company monitors the credit quality of financial assets held at amortized cost with the application of the Group credit risk management framework, which provides for the consistent evaluation, measurement and management of credit risk across the Bank. Evaluation, measurement and management of credit exposures recorded in the Bank parent company follows the same approach as for the Group and reflects the specific exposure profile of the legal entity. Assessments of credit risk exposures for internal risk estimates and risk-weighted assets are calculated based on PD, LGD and EAD models.

> Refer to "Expected credit losses on non-impaired credit exposures" for further information on PD, LGD and EAD.

The credit risk management framework incorporates the following core elements:

■ Counterparty and transaction assessments: application of internal credit ratings (using PD), assignment of LGD and EAD values in relation to counterparties and transactions;

■ Credit limits: establishment of credit limits, including limits based on notional exposure, potential future exposure and stress exposure, subject to approval by delegated authority holders, to serve as primary risk controls on exposures and to prevent undue risk concentrations;

■ Credit monitoring, impairments and provisions: processes to support the ongoing monitoring and management of credit exposures, supporting the early identification of deterioration and any subsequent impact; and

■ Risk mitigation: active management of risk mitigation provided in relation to credit exposures, including through the use of cash sales, participations, collateral or guarantees or hedging instruments.

In addition to traditional credit exposure measurement, monitoring and management using current and potential future exposure metrics, Credit Risk performs counterparty and portfolio credit risk assessments of the impact of various internal stress test scenarios. Credit Risk assesses the impact to credit risk exposures arising from market movements in accordance with the scenario narrative, which can further support the identification of concentration or tail risks. The scenario suite includes historical scenarios as well as forward-looking scenarios which are used across the Risk function.

Credit Risk evaluates and assesses counterparties and clients to whom the Bank parent company has credit exposures, primarily using internal rating models. Credit Risk uses these models to determine internal credit ratings which are intended to reflect the PD of each counterparty.

For a majority of counterparties and clients, internal ratings are based on internally developed statistical models that have been backtested against internal experience and validated by a function independent of model development. Findings from backtesting serve as a key input for any future rating model developments. The Bank parent company's internally developed statistical rating models are based on a combination of quantitative factors (e.g., financial fundamentals, such as balance sheet information for corporates and loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and the borrower's income level for mortgage lending, and market data) and qualitative factors (e.g., credit histories from credit reporting bureaus and economic trends).

For the remaining counterparties where statistical rating models are not used, internal credit ratings are assigned on the basis of a structured expert approach using a variety of inputs, such as peer analyses, industry comparisons, external ratings and research as well as the judgment of senior credit officers.

In addition to counterparty ratings, Credit Risk also assesses the risk profile of individual transactions and assigns transaction ratings which reflect specific contractual terms such as seniority, security and collateral.

Internal credit ratings may differ from external credit ratings, where available, and are subject to periodic review depending on exposure type, client segment, collateral or event-driven developments. The Bank parent company's internal ratings are mapped to a PD band associated with each rating which is calibrated to historical default experience using internal data and external data sources. The Bank parent company's internal rating bands are reviewed on an annual basis with reference to extended historical default data and are therefore based on stable long-run averages. Adjustments to PD bands are only made where significant deviations to existing values are detected. The last update was made in 2012 and since then no significant changes to the robust long-run averages have been detected.

The Bank parent company uses internal rating methodologies consistently for the purposes of approval, establishment and monitoring of credit limits and credit portfolio management, credit policy, management reporting, risk-adjusted performance measurement, economic risk capital measurement and allocation and financial accounting.

A credit quality monitoring process is performed to provide for early identification of possible changes in the creditworthiness of clients and includes regular asset and collateral quality reviews, business and financial statement analysis and relevant economic and industry studies. Credit Risk maintains regularly updated watch lists and holds review meetings to re-assess counterparties that could be subject to adverse changes in creditworthiness. The review of the credit quality of clients and counterparties does not depend on the accounting treatment of the asset or commitment.

> Refer to "Expected credit losses on impaired exposures" for further information on credit monitoring.

All members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board of the Bank parent company are also members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board of the Group parent company. Compensation to members of the Executive Board is determined by the Group parent company on the basis of their overall function and responsibilities in the Group and paid by different legal entities of the Group depending on work location, local contracts, laws and regulations. A presentation of deferred share-based compensation awards to members of the Executive Board recorded by the Bank parent company would not appropriately reflect the Executive Board of the Bank parent company, as it would only consider those members for whom compensation is administrated by the Bank parent company.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Bank parent company did not have any option plans with outstanding options.

**Compensation plans**

Performance share awards were granted to managing directors and material risk takers and controllers, CCA were granted to managing directors and directors.

In 2022 and 2021, the Bank parent company's total expenses related to deferred compensation plans were CHF 63 million and CHF 129 million, respectively.

For 2022 and 2021, all share-based compensation plans of the Bank parent company were either settled in shares of the Group parent company (Group shares) or in cash on the basis of the fair value of the Group shares.

**Share awards**

Share awards granted in February 2022 are similar to those granted in February 2021. Each share award granted entitles the holder of the award to receive one Group share, subject to service conditions. Share awards vest over three years with one third of the share awards vesting on each of the three anniversaries of the grant date (ratable vesting), with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as material risk takers (MRTs), risk manager material risk takers (MRTs) or senior managers or equivalents under the EU or UK Capital Requirements Directive V-related provisions. Share awards granted to MRTs vest over four years with one quarter of the award vesting on each of the four anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards granted to risk manager MRTs vest over five years with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the five anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards granted to senior managers vest over seven years, with one fifth of the award vesting on each of the third to seventh anniversaries of the grant date. Share awards are expensed over the service period of the awards. The value of the share awards is solely dependent on the Group share price at the time of delivery.

The share awards include other awards, such as blocked shares and special awards, which may be granted to new employees. These awards entitle the holder to receive one Group share and are generally subject to continued employment with the Bank parent company, contain restrictive covenants and cancellation provisions and generally vest between zero and five years.

On February 11, 2022, the Bank parent company granted 4.1 million share awards with a total value of CHF 35 million. The number of share awards granted to employees was generally determined by dividing the deferred component of variable compensation being granted as share awards by the average price of a Group share over the ten consecutive trading days ended February 24, 2022. The fair value of each share award was CHF 8.61, the Group share price on the grant date. The majority of share awards granted include the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested shares.

**Performance share awards**

Certain employees received a portion of their deferred variable compensation in the form of performance share awards. Performance share awards are similar to share awards, except that the full balance of outstanding performance share awards, including

549

those awarded in prior years, are subject to performance-based malus provisions.

Outstanding performance share awards are subject to a downward adjustment in the event of a divisional loss by the division in which the employees worked as of December 31, 2022, or a negative return on equity (ROE) of the Group, whichever results in a larger adjustment. For employees in corporate functions and the Asset Resolution Unit, the downward adjustment only applies in the event of a negative ROE of the Group and is not linked to the performance of the divisions. The basis for the ROE calculation may vary from year to year, depending on the Compensation Committee's determination for the year in which the performance shares are granted.

A downward adjustment has been applied to outstanding performance share awards, reflecting the negative RoE of the Group and the divisional loss of the Investment Bank for the year 2022.

On February 11, 2022, the Bank parent company granted 2.4 million performance share awards with a total value of CHF 21 million. The number of performance share awards granted to employees was generally determined by dividing the deferred component of variable compensation being granted as performance share awards by the average price of a Group share over the ten consecutive trading days ended February 24, 2022. The fair value of each performance share award was CHF 8.61, the Group share price on the grant date. The majority of performance share awards granted include the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested shares.

**Strategic Delivery Plan**

Strategic Delivery Plan (SDP) awards were one-off share-based awards granted in February 2022 to certain employees to incentivize the longer-term delivery of the Group's strategic plan. The SDP awards are subject to service conditions and performance-based metrics over the course of 2022-2024. SDP awards are scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, with the exception of awards granted to individuals classified as material risk takers (MRTs), risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the EU or UK Capital Requirements Directive V related provisions. SDP awards granted to MRTs vest in equal annual installments over two years, commencing on the third anniversary from the grant date. SDP awards granted to risk manager MRTs vest in equal annual installments over three years, while SDP awards granted to senior managers vest in equal annual installments over five years, both commencing on the third anniversary from the grant date. Prior to settlement, the principal amount of the SDP awards will be written down to zero and forfeited if any of the following triggering events exist at the end of 2023, 2024 or 2025:

■ The Group's reported CET1 capital ratio below the FINMA-prescribed minimum + 50 basis points; or

■ The Group's reported common equity tier 1 (CET1) leverage ratio falls below 3.7%.

In addition, the Compensation Committee will review and assess the overall success of the delivery of the strategic plan at a Group level over the three-year period (2022-2024) and may increase the SDP awards up to a maximum of 50% of the initial award amount. Half of the potential uplift would be granted if a pre-determined average Group return on tangible equity threshold is achieved, measured over the key strategic implementation years 2023 and 2024. The other half of the uplift may be awarded based on the Compensation Committee's assessment of risk management and other strategic non-financial achievements.

On February 11, 2022, the Bank parent company granted 16.3 million SDP awards with a total value of CHF 140 million. The number of SDP awards granted to employees was generally determined by dividing the deferred component of variable compensation being granted as SDP awards by the average price of a Group share over the ten consecutive trading days which ended on February 24, 2022. The fair value of each SDP award was CHF 8.61, the Group share price on the grant date.

The majority of SDP awards granted include the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested shares.

**Contingent Capital Awards**

CCA were granted in February 2022 and 2021 to certain employees as part of the 2021 and 2020 deferred variable compensation and have rights and risks similar to those of certain contingent capital instruments issued by the Group in the market. CCA are scheduled to vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, other than those granted to individuals classified as MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers or equivalents under the EU or UK Capital Requirements Directive V-related provisions. CCA granted to MRTs, risk manager MRTs or senior managers vest on the fifth and seventh anniversaries of the grant date, respectively. CCA will be expensed over the vesting period. CCA generally provide a conditional right to receive semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents until settled, with rates being dependent upon the vesting period and currency of denomination. CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that vest four, five or seven years from the date of grant are not eligible for semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents. CCA granted to certain regulated employees that vest over three years are not eligible for semi-annual cash payments of interest equivalents.

■ CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that are denominated in US dollars and vest three years from the date of grant receive interest equivalents at a rate of 4.18% and 3.60%, respectively, per annum plus the daily compounded (spread exclusive) US dollar Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR); and

■ CCA granted in 2022 and 2021 that are denominated in Swiss francs and vest three years from the date of grant receive interest equivalents at a rate of 3.44% and 3.06%, respectively, per annum plus the daily compounded (spread exclusive) Swiss franc Swiss Average Rate Overnight (SARON).

The rates were set in line with market conditions at the time of grant and existing high-trigger and low-trigger contingent capital instruments that the Group has issued.

550

At settlement, employees will receive either a contingent capital instrument or a cash payment based on the fair value of the CCA. The fair value will be determined by the Group. In the case of a cash settlement, the CCA award will be converted into the local currency of each respective employee.

CCA have loss-absorbing features such that prior to settlement, the principal amount of the CCA would be written down to zero and forfeited if any of the following trigger events were to occur:

■ the Group's reported common equity tier 1 (CET1) ratio falls below 7%; or

■ FINMA determines that cancellation of the CCA and other similar contingent capital instruments is necessary, or that the Group requires public sector capital support, in either case to prevent it from becoming insolvent or otherwise failing.

On February 11, 2022, the Bank parent company awarded CHF 8 million and USD 7 million of CCA that are expensed over the vesting period from the grant date.

**Deferred fixed cash awards**

In 2022, the Bank parent company granted CHF 29 million of deferred fixed cash to certain employees. This compensation is expensed over a three-year vesting period from the grant date.

**Upfront cash awards**

In February 2022, the Bank parent company granted CHF 197 million of upfront cash awards to certain employees as part of the cash component of their 2021 variable compensation. These awards are subject to repayment (clawback) by the employee in the event of voluntary resignation, termination for cause or in connection with other specified events or conditions within three years of the award grant. The amount subject to repayment is reduced in equal monthly instalments during the three-year period following the grant date.

**Other cash awards**

Other cash awards include special awards, capital opportunity facility awards, voluntary deferred compensation plans, employee investment plans as well as certain share and performance share awards settled in cash.

28 Assets under management

**Assets under management**

Assets under management include assets for which the Bank parent company provides investment advisory or discretionary asset management services, investment fund assets and assets invested in other investment-fund-like pooled investment vehicles managed by the Bank parent company. The classification of assets under management is conditional upon the nature of the services provided by the Bank parent company and the clients' intentions. Assets are individually assessed on the basis of each client's intentions and objectives and the nature of the banking services provided to that client. In order to be classified as assets under management, the Bank parent company must currently or in the foreseeable future expect to provide a service where the involvement of the Bank parent company's banking or investment expertise (e.g., as asset manager or investment advisor) is not purely executional or custodial in nature.

Assets under custody are client assets held mainly for execution-related or safekeeping/custody purposes only and therefore are not considered assets under management since the Bank parent company does not generally provide asset allocation or financial advice.

Assets of corporate clients and public institutions that are used primarily for cash management or transaction executional purposes for which no investment advice is provided are classified as commercial assets or assets under custody and therefore do not qualify as assets under management.

For the purpose of classifying assets under management, clients with multiple accounts are assessed from an overall relationship perspective. Accounts that are clearly separate from the remainder of the client relationship and represent assets held for custody purposes only are not included as assets under management.

The initial classification of the assets may not be permanent as the nature of the client relationship is reassessed on an on-going basis. If changes in client intent or activity warrant reclassification between client asset categories, the required reclassification adjustments are made immediately when the change in intent or activity occurs. Reclassifications between assets under management and assets held for transaction-related or custodial purposes result in corresponding net asset inflows or outflows.

A portion of the Bank parent company's assets under management results from double counting. Double counting arises when assets under management are subject to more than one level of asset management services. Each separate advisory or discretionary service provides additional benefits to the client and

552

represents additional income for the Bank parent company. Specifically, double counting primarily results from the investment of assets under management in collective investment instruments managed by the Bank parent company. The extent of double counting is disclosed in the following table.

**Net new assets**

Net new assets measure the degree of success in acquiring assets under management or changes in assets under management through warranted reclassifications. The calculation is based on the direct method, taking into account individual cash payments, security deliveries and cash flows resulting from loan increases or repayments. Interest and dividend income credited to clients and commissions, interest and fees charged for banking services are not taken into account when calculating net new assets, as such charges are not directly related to the Bank parent company's success in acquiring assets under management. Similarly, changes in assets under management due to currency and market volatility as well as asset inflows and outflows due to the acquisition or divestiture of businesses are not part of net new assets.

Other information

Exchange controls

There are no restrictions presently in force under our Articles of Association or Swiss law that limit the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold our securities freely or, when entitled, to vote their securities freely. The Swiss federal government may from time to time impose sanctions, including exchange control restrictions, on particular countries, regimes, organizations or persons. A current list, in German, of such sanctions can be found at *www.seco-admin.ch*. Other than these sanctions, there are currently no Swiss exchange control laws or laws restricting the import or export of capital, including, but not limited to, the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our securities.

American Depositary Shares

Under Swiss law, holders of American Depositary Shares (ADS) are not shareholders and are not recorded in our share register. A nominee for the ADS depositary is the registered holder of the shares underlying the ADS. Rights of ADS holders to exercise voting rights, receive dividends and other matters are governed by the deposit agreement pursuant to which the ADS are issued. Under such deposit agreement, the ADS depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the shares underlying the ADS, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, other than in accordance with instructions given by ADS holders and received by the ADS depositary, or exercise any discretion as to voting the shares underlying the ADS. For further information relating to our ADS, see our Registration Statement on Form F-6 filed with the SEC.

Taxation

The following summary contains a description of the principal Swiss and US federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our shares or ADS (Shares), but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to own or dispose of Shares. In particular, the summary is directed only to holders that hold Shares as capital assets and does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, such as banks, tax-exempt entities, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, persons that actually or constructively own a participation in our stock that qualifies for reduced taxation, persons that hold Shares as a position in a "straddle" or "conversion" transaction, or as part of a "synthetic security" or other integrated financial transaction, persons that own or are treated as owning 10% or more of our stock by vote or value, or persons that have a "functional currency" other than the Swiss franc or US dollar.

This summary is based on the current tax laws of Switzerland and the US, including the current "Convention Between the United States of America and the Swiss Confederation for the Avoidance of Double Taxation with Respect to Taxes on Income" (Double Taxation Treaty), the "Agreement on the Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters with the European Union" (AEOI) and similar bilateral treaties with partner states, the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IR Code), existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.

This discussion does not generally address any aspects of Swiss taxation other than income and capital taxation, withholding taxes and stamp duties upon transfer of Shares or any aspects of US taxation other than federal income taxation. Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the Swiss federal, cantonal and communal and the US federal, state and local and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of Shares.

**Swiss taxation**

**Swiss withholding tax on dividends and other distributions**

**Dividends on the Shares made or paid by us out of reserves from capital contributions (*Reserven aus Kapitaleinlagen*), distributions on the Shares made or paid by us based upon a reduction in the nominal value of the Shares (*Nennwertrückzahlungen*), and the purchase price for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction paid out of reserves from capital contributions and the nominal value of Shares will be exempt from Swiss withholding tax.**

Dividends and other cash or in-kind distributions (including scrip or stock dividends) on the Shares made or paid by us out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions) and the purchase price less the nominal value for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction paid out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions) are subject to Swiss withholding tax, currently at a rate of 35%. If we pay a dividend on the Shares out of reserves from capital contributions, we will be required to simultaneously pay a dividend on the Shares out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions) of at least the same amount. If we repurchase Shares for a capital reduction, we must pay at least half of the purchase price, less the nominal value of the Shares repurchased for such capital reduction, out of reserves from capital contributions, and may not pay more than half of the purchase price, less the nominal value of the Shares repurchased for such capital reduction, out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions). Capital gains realized on the sale or other disposition of Shares in the secondary market are not subject to Swiss withholding tax. Any Swiss withholding tax described above must be deducted by us on the gross taxable amount of the dividend or other distribution or the purchase price, as applicable, and be remitted by us to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

564

**Persons resident in Switzerland and persons resident outside of Switzerland who hold Shares in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland**

The relevant Swiss tax authority will refund or credit the Swiss withholding tax deducted by us on the taxable amounts of any dividend or other distribution on any Share, or the purchase price for any Share repurchased by us for a capital reduction, in full to a person who (i) is resident in Switzerland or is resident outside of Switzerland but holds (or, in the case of any such repurchase, held) such Share in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, and (ii) among other things, is the beneficial owner of such dividend or other distribution on, or such purchase price for, such Share repurchased by us for a capital reduction, and duly reports such dividend or other distribution or purchase price, as applicable, in their income tax return or their financial statements, as applicable, for the relevant taxation period.

**Persons resident outside Switzerland who do not hold Shares in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland** 

In the case of Swiss withholding tax deducted by us on the taxable amounts of any dividend or other distribution on the Shares, or the purchase price for Shares repurchased for a capital reduction, a person who (i) is not resident in Switzerland and (ii) does not hold (or, in the case of a repurchase of Shares for a capital reduction, did not hold) such Shares in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, may be entitled to a full or partial refund of such Swiss withholding tax, if the country in which such person resides for tax purposes has entered into a bilateral treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with Switzerland, such person is the beneficial owner of such dividend or other distribution or such purchase price and the conditions of the applicable treaty are met. A reduction of any such Swiss withholding tax at source is not provided for by Switzerland for portfolio holdings and, therefore, is not permissible. Holders of Shares should be aware that the procedures for claiming treaty benefits (and the time frame required for obtaining a tax refund) may differ from country to country and should consult their own legal, financial or tax advisors regarding the procedures for claiming a refund of any Swiss withholding tax.

**Residents of the US**

In the case of Swiss withholding tax deducted by us on the taxable amounts of any dividend or other distribution on Shares, or the purchase price for Shares repurchased for a capital reduction, a person who (i) is (x) a resident of the US for purposes of the Double Taxation Treaty without taxable presence in Switzerland to which such Shares are attributable or (y) a qualified US pension fund and (ii) is (or, in the case of any such repurchase, at the time of such repurchase, was) the beneficial owner of such Shares and is the beneficial owner of such dividend or other distribution or purchase price, as applicable, and meets the conditions of the Double Taxation Treaty, may apply for a full refund of such Swiss withholding tax in the case of qualified US pension funds or in excess of the amount of the 15% treaty rate in all other cases. The claim for refund must be filed on Swiss Tax Form 82 (82C for corporations, 82I for individuals, 82E for other entities and 82R for regulated investment companies), which forms may, together with an instruction form, be downloaded from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration's website, obtained from any Swiss consulate general in the US, or obtained from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration at the address below. Four copies of the applicable form must be duly completed and signed before a notary public of the US, and three of such completed and signed copies must be sent to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, Eigerstrasse 65, 3003, Bern, Switzerland. The form must be accompanied by suitable evidence of deduction of the Swiss withholding tax, such as certificates of deduction, bank vouchers or credit slips. The form must be filed no later than December 31 of the third year following the calendar year in which the dividend or other distribution subject to the Swiss withholding tax became payable.

**Shares held by Swiss resident individuals as private assets**

For holders of Shares who (i) are individuals resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and (ii) hold such Shares as private assets, dividends and other distributions on Shares made or paid by us out of reserves from capital contributions (*Reserven aus Kapitaleinlagen*), distributions on Shares made or paid by us based upon a reduction in the nominal value of Shares (*Nennwertrückzahlungen*), and the purchase price for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction paid out of reserves from capital contributions and the nominal value of Shares are exempt from Swiss federal, cantonal and communal income taxes. For such holders, all other dividends and other distributions and the purchase price for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction not paid out of reserves from capital contributions and the nominal value of Shares are subject to Swiss federal, cantonal, and communal income taxes. If we pay a dividend on the Shares out of reserves from capital contributions, we will be required to simultaneously pay a dividend on the Shares out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions) of at least the same amount. If we repurchase Shares for a capital reduction, we must pay at least half of the purchase price, less the nominal value of the Shares repurchased for such capital reduction, out of reserves from capital contributions, and may not pay more than half of the purchase price, less the nominal value of the Shares repurchased for such capital reduction, out of profit or reserves (other than reserves from capital contributions).

**Shares held as assets of a Swiss business**

Corporate taxpayers resident in Switzerland, individual taxpayers resident in Switzerland who hold Shares as assets of a Swiss business, and corporate and individual taxpayers resident outside Switzerland who hold Shares as part of a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, are required to recognize payments of dividends and other distributions on such Shares (including repayment of the nominal value of such Shares and distributions on such Shares out of reserves from capital contributions), and the purchase price for any such Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction, in their income statement for the relevant taxation period, and

565

are taxed on any net taxable earnings on such Shares (including such payments) for such taxation period at the then prevailing tax rates. This taxation also applies to Swiss resident individuals who, for Swiss income tax purposes, are classified as "professional securities dealers" for reasons of, among other things, frequent dealings, or leveraged transactions, in securities.

A holder of Shares that is (i) a Swiss corporation or a Swiss co-operative or (ii) a non-Swiss corporation or a non-Swiss co-operative that holds such Shares as part of a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, may benefit from relief from taxation of dividends and other distributions on such Shares (including repayment of the nominal value of such Shares and distributions on such Shares out of reserves from capital contributions), and the purchase price for any such Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction by way of a participation exemption (*Beteiligungsabzug*), if at the time of such dividend or other distribution or such repurchase, such Shares have a market value of at least CHF 1 million.

**Shares held by persons resident outside of Switzerland who are not engaged in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland**

A holder of Shares who (i) is not a resident of Switzerland for tax purposes and (ii) during the relevant taxation period has not engaged in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes to which such Shares are attributable, will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax as a result of the receipt of dividends or other distributions on such Shares, or the purchase price for any such Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction.

> Refer to "Swiss withholding tax on dividends and other distributions" for a summary of the taxation treatment of dividends and other distributions on Shares and the purchase price received for Shares repurchased by us for capital reduction.

**Capital gains tax realized on Shares**

**Shares held by Swiss resident individuals as private assets**

A capital gain realized by a holder of Shares (other than a capital gain on the sale of Shares to us for a capital reduction) who (i) is an individual resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and (ii) holds such Shares as private assets is classified as a tax-exempt private capital gain and a capital loss realized by such a holder will be classified as a non-tax-deductible private capital loss for purposes of Swiss federal, cantonal and communal income tax.

> Refer to "Shares held as assets of a Swiss business" for information on the taxation of individuals classified as "professional securities dealers".

> Refer to "Shares held by Swiss resident individuals as private assets – Income tax on dividends and other distributions for information on the taxation of the purchase price received for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction.

**Shares held as assets of a Swiss business**

Corporate taxpayers resident in Switzerland, individual taxpayers resident in Switzerland who hold Shares as part of a business in Switzerland, and individual and corporate taxpayers resident outside Switzerland who hold Shares as part of a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, are required to recognize any gain or loss realized on the sale or other disposition of such Shares in their income statement for the relevant taxation period, and will be taxed on any net taxable earnings on such Shares (including such gain or loss) for such taxation period at the then prevailing tax rates. This taxation also applies to Swiss resident individuals who, for Swiss income tax purposes, are classified as "professional securities dealers" for reasons of, among other things, frequent dealings, or leveraged transactions, in securities.

**Shares held by persons resident outside of Switzerland who are not engaged in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland**

A holder of Shares who (i) is not resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and (ii) during the relevant taxation period has not engaged in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes to which such Shares are attributable, will not be subject to any Swiss federal, cantonal or communal income tax as a result of any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of such Shares.

> Refer to "Swiss withholding tax on dividends and other distributions" for a summary of the taxation treatment of purchase price received for Shares repurchased by us for a capital reduction.

**Wealth and capital taxes**

**Shares held by Swiss resident individuals as private investments**

A holder of Shares who is an individual resident in Switzerland for tax purposes and who holds the Shares as private assets is required to include the Shares in taxable wealth for purposes of cantonal and communal taxable wealth taxes.

**Shares held as assets of a Swiss business**

Corporate taxpayers resident in Switzerland, individual taxpayers resident in Switzerland who hold Shares as assets of a Swiss business, and corporate and individual taxpayers resident outside Switzerland who hold Shares as part of a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes, are required to include the Shares in taxable wealth or taxable assets, as applicable, in the relevant tax period for purposes of cantonal and communal individual wealth tax or capital tax, as applicable.

**Non-resident individuals and legal entities**

A holder of Shares who (i) is not a resident of Switzerland for tax purposes and (ii) during the relevant taxation period has not engaged in a business carried on through a permanent establishment in Switzerland for tax purposes to which such Shares are attributable, will not be subject to any cantonal or communal wealth tax or capital tax as a result of the holding of Shares.

**Swiss securities turnover tax**

The trading of Shares in the secondary market is subject to Swiss securities turnover tax (*Umsatzabgabe*), currently at a rate of 0.15% of the consideration paid for the Shares traded, if a securities dealer (as defined in the Swiss Act on Stamp Duties

566

of June 27, 1973, as amended) in Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein is a party to, or acts as an intermediary for, the transaction and no statutory exemption applies in respect of one or both of the parties to the transaction. In such case and subject to any applicable statutory exemptions, typically half of the Swiss securities turnover tax is charged to one party to the transaction and the other half to the other party.

**Automatic exchange of information**

In Switzerland, the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (MAC) and the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA), together with the Federal Act on the International Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters and its implementing ordinance, form the legal basis for the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regime on automatic exchange of information for tax purposes. Based on the MCAA and a number of bilateral automatic exchange of information agreements, Switzerland collects and exchanges information with more than 100 Participating Jurisdictions, including all EU member states, in respect of financial assets held in, and income derived thereon and credited to, accounts (including Shares held in any such accounts) maintained in Switzerland for the benefit of clients (i.e., entities or individuals) tax resident in these Participating Jurisdictions. An up-to-date list of the AEOI agreements to which Switzerland is a party that are in effect, or have been entered into but are not yet in effect, can be found on the website of the State Secretariat for International Financial Matters SIF.

**Swiss facilitation of the implementation of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act**

Switzerland has concluded an a "Model 2" intergovernmental agreement with the US to facilitate the implementation of US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The agreement ensures that accounts held by US persons maintaining accounts with financial assets (including Shares held in any such accounts) with Swiss financial institutions are disclosed to the US tax authorities either with the consent of the account holder or by means of group requests within the scope of administrative assistance on the basis of the US-Switzerland Double Tax Treaty. Since it was amended in 2019, the Treaty includes a mechanism for the exchange of information in tax matters upon request between Switzerland and the United States, allowing the United States to make group requests under FATCA concerning non-consenting US accounts and non-consenting non-participating foreign financial institutions for periods from June 30, 2014. Furthermore, on October 8, 2014, the Swiss Federal Council approved a mandate for negotiations with the United States regarding a "Model 1" intergovernmental agreement that would replace the existing agreement and that would change from the current direct notification-based regime to a regime where the relevant information is sent to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration, which in turn provides the information to the US tax authorities. It is not yet known when negotiations will continue and, if they do, if and when any new regime would come into force.

**US federal income tax**

For purposes of this discussion, a "US Holder" is any beneficial owner of Shares that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the US; (ii) a corporation organized under the laws of the US or any political subdivision thereof; or (iii) any other person that is subject to US federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of Shares. A "Non-US Holder" is any beneficial owner of Shares that is a foreign corporation or non-resident alien individual.

**Taxation of dividends**

**US Holders**

For US federal income tax purposes, a US Holder will be required to include the full amount (before reduction for Swiss federal withholding tax) of a dividend paid with respect to Shares, generally as ordinary income. Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the US dollar amount of dividends received by an individual with respect to our Shares will be subject to taxation at a maximum rate of 20% if the dividends are "qualified dividends". Dividends paid on the Shares will be treated as qualified dividends if we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment company (PFIC). Based on our audited consolidated financial statements, we believe that the Group was not treated as a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2022 or 2021 taxable years. In addition, based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets and the sources and nature of our income, we do not anticipate the Group becoming a PFIC for the 2023 taxable year. Holders of our Shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of the considerations discussed above and their own particular circumstances. For this purpose, a "dividend" will include any distribution paid by us with respect to Shares, but only to the extent such distribution is not in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as defined for US federal income tax purposes. Under the IR Code, dividend payments by us on Shares are not eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders. Any distribution that exceeds our earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the US Holder's tax basis in Shares and thereafter as capital gain. Because we do not intend to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits on the basis of US federal income tax principles, a US Holder should expect that any information reporting it receives may treat the full amount of any distribution paid as a dividend.

Subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the IR Code, a US Holder may deduct from its US federal taxable income, or claim as a credit against its US federal income tax liability, the Swiss federal withholding tax withheld. These limitations and conditions include new requirements recently adopted by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and any Swiss tax will need to satisfy these requirements in order to be eligible to be a creditable

567

tax for a US Holder. In the case of a US Holder that is eligible for, and properly elects, the benefits of the Treaty, Swiss tax on dividends will be treated as meeting the new requirements and therefore as a creditable tax. In the case of all other US Holders, the application of these requirements to the Swiss tax on dividends is uncertain and we have not determined whether these requirements have been met. If the Swiss dividend tax is not a creditable tax for a US Holder or the US Holder does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued in the same taxable year, the US Holder may be able to deduct the Swiss tax in computing such US Holder's taxable income for US federal income tax purposes. Dividend distributions will constitute income from sources outside the United States and, for US Holders that elect to claim foreign tax credits, generally will constitute "passive category income" for foreign tax credit purposes.

In general, a US Holder will be required to determine the amount of any dividend paid in Swiss francs by translating the Swiss francs into US dollars at the "spot rate" of exchange on the date of receipt. The tax basis of Swiss francs received by the US Holder generally will equal the US dollar equivalent of such Swiss francs, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such Swiss franc dividends are received. Upon a subsequent exchange of such Swiss francs for US dollars, or upon the use of such Swiss francs to purchase property, a US Holder will generally recognize ordinary income or loss in the amount equal to the difference between such US Holder's tax basis for the Swiss francs and the US dollars received or, if property is received, the fair market value of the property. In addition, a US Holder may be required to recognize US-source foreign currency gain or loss on the receipt of a refund in respect of Swiss federal withholding tax to the extent the US dollar value of the refund differs from the US dollar equivalent of the amount on the date of receipt of the underlying dividend.

**Non-US Holders**

Dividends paid to a Non-US Holder in respect of Shares will generally not be subject to US federal income tax unless such dividends are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the US by such Non-US Holder.

**Capital gains tax upon disposal of shares**

**US Holders**

A gain or loss realized by a US Holder on the sale or other disposition of Shares will be subject to US federal income taxation as a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the US Holder's basis in Shares and the amount realized on the disposition. Such gain or loss will generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if the US Holder holds the Shares for more than one year. A long-term capital gain realized by a US Holder that is an individual generally is subject to taxation at reduced rates.

**Non-US Holders**

A Non-US Holder will generally not be subject to US federal income tax in respect of gains realized on a sale or other disposition of Shares unless the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-US Holder in the US.

**Backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements**

Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, Shares paid to a US Holder generally may be subject to the information reporting requirements of the IR Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder: (i) establishes that it is an exempt holder; or (ii) provides an accurate taxpayer identification number on a properly completed US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-9 and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a holder will be allowed as a credit against the US Holder's US federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS.

A Non-US Holder may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

Listing details

Credit Suisse Group's shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the symbol "CSGN". The Group's ADS are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol "CS".

The Group's shares are in registered form with a par value of CHF 0.04 per share.

Trading in our own shares

The Group buys and sells its own shares and derivatives on its own shares within its normal trading and market-making activities mainly through its UK and Swiss broker-dealer operations. The Group buys and sells its shares and derivatives on these shares to facilitate customer orders, to provide liquidity as a market maker and to hedge derivative instruments.

The net long or short position held by the Group's bank subsidiaries in the Group's own shares remains at non-material levels relative to the number of the Group's outstanding shares, due in part to Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) regulations requiring a 100% capital charge to the relevant legal entity for the entire net position in the Group's shares. In addition to FINMA rules, the Group's trading in its own shares in the Swiss market is subject to regulation under the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructure and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading, the rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange and the European Exchange electronic exchange, and the Swiss Bankers Association Code of Conduct for Securities Dealers. Trading is also limited by the Group's risk management limits, internal capital allocation rules, balance sheet requirements, counterparty restrictions and other internal regulations and guidelines. Swiss law further limits the Group's ability to hold or repurchase its own shares.

The Group may from time to time place orders for its own shares to satisfy obligations under various employee and management incentive share plans, and potentially for shares to be used as payment in acquisitions. In addition, the Group may purchase shares with the intent of cancellation. In Switzerland, the purchase of shares for cancellation is typically done under a separate program from the repurchase of shares to be re-issued under employee and management incentive share plans.

> Refer to "Share purchases" in III – Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet – Capital management for further information on trading in the Group's shares and shares purchases.

| Advanced execution services® (AES®) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AES® is a suite of algorithmic trading strategies, tools and analytics operated by Credit Suisse to facilitate global equity trading. By employing algorithms to execute client orders and limit volatility, AES® helps institutions and hedge funds reduce market impact. Credit Suisse provides access to over 100 trading destinations in over 40 countries and six continents. |
| Advanced internal ratings-based approach (A-IRB) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the A-IRB approach, risk weights are determined by using internal risk parameters. We have received approval from FINMA to use, and have fully implemented, the A-IRB approach whereby we provide our own estimates for probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD). We use the A-IRB approach to determine our institutional credit risk and most of our retail credit risk. |
| Advanced measurement approach (AMA) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The AMA is used for measuring operational risk. The methodology is based upon the identification of a number of key risk scenarios that describe the major operational risks we face. Groups of senior staff review each scenario and discuss the likelihood of occurrence and the potential severity of loss. Internal and external loss data, along with certain business environment and internal control factors, such as self-assessment results and key risk indicators, are considered as part of this process. Based on the output from these meetings, we enter the scenario parameters into an operational risk model that generates a loss distribution from which the level of capital required to cover operational risk is determined. We have received approval from FINMA to use an internal model for the calculation of operational risk capital, which is aligned with the requirements of the AMA under the Basel framework. |
| Affluent and retail clients | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We define affluent and retail clients as individuals having assets under management below CHF 1 million. |
| American Depositary Shares (ADS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An ADS, which is evidenced by an American Depositary Receipt, is a negotiable certificate issued by a depositary bank that represents all or part of an underlying share of a foreign-based company held in custody. |

| Backtesting | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Backtesting is one of the techniques used to assess the accuracy and performance of VaR models. Backtesting is used by regulators to assess the adequacy of regulatory capital held by a bank. It involves comparing of the results produced by the VaR model with the hypothetical trading revenues on the trading book. VaR models that experience less than five exceptions in a rolling 12-month period are considered by regulators to be classified in a defined "green zone". The "green zone" corresponds to backtesting results that do not themselves suggest a problem with the quality or accuracy of a bank's model. |
| Bank for International Settlements (BIS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) serves central banks in their pursuit of monetary and financial stability, fosters international cooperation in those areas and acts as a bank for central banks. |
| Basel III | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued the Basel III framework, which is a comprehensive set of reform measures to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking sector. These measures aim to improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the source, improve risk management and governance and strengthen banks' transparency and disclosures. The phase-in period for Basel III was January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019. |
| Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) provides a forum for regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters. Its objective is to enhance the understanding of key supervisory issues and improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide. It seeks to do so by exchanging information on national supervisory issues, approaches and techniques, with a view to promoting common understanding. At times, the BCBS uses this common understanding to develop guidelines and supervisory standards in areas where they are considered desirable. In this regard, the BCBS is best known for its international standards on capital adequacy, the Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision and the Concordat on cross-border banking supervision. |

| **C** | **C** |
| Current expected credit losses (CECL) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CECL is a FASB accounting standard which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and held at the reporting date over the remaining contractual life (considering the effect of prepayments) based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The CECL standard has replaced the previous incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses. |
| CET1 ratio | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CET1 ratio means the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of CET1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. |
| Collateralized debt obligation (CDO) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A CDO is a type of structured asset-backed security whose value and payments are derived from a portfolio of underlying fixed-income assets. |
| Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CMBS are a type of mortgage-backed security that is secured by loans on commercial property and can provide liquidity to real estate investors and commercial lenders. |
| Commercial paper (CP) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commercial paper is an unsecured money-market security with a fixed maturity of 1 to 364 days, issued by large banks and corporations to raise funds to meet short term debt obligations. |
| Constant prepayment rate (CPR) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CPR is a loan prepayment rate that is equal to the proportion of the principal of a pool of loans that is assumed to be paid off prematurely in each period. The calculation of this estimate is based on a number of factors such as historical prepayment rates for previous loans that are similar to ones in the pool and on future economic outlooks. |
| Credit default swap (CDS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A CDS is a contractual agreement in which the buyer of the swap pays a periodic fee in return for a contingent payment by the seller of the swap following a credit event of a reference entity. A credit event is commonly defined as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, material adverse restructuring of debt or failure to meet payment obligations when due. |
| Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The CVA represents the market value of counterparty credit risk for uncollateralized OTC derivative instruments. |
| **D** | **D** |
| Debit valuation adjustment | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The debit valuation adjustment represents the market value of our own credit risk for uncollateralized OTC derivative instruments. |
| Derivatives | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivatives are financial instruments or contracts that meet all of the following three characteristics: (1) their value changes in response to changes in an underlying price, such as interest rate, security price, foreign exchange rate, credit rating/price or index; (2) they require no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors; and (3) their terms require or permit net settlement (US GAAP) or they settle at a future date (IFRS). |

| **E** | **E** |
| Exposure at default (EAD) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The EAD represents the expected amount of credit exposure in the event of a default and reflects the current drawn exposure and an expectation regarding the future evolution of the credit exposure. For loan exposures, a credit conversion factor is applied to project the additional drawn amount. The credit conversion factor related to traded products such as derivatives is based on a simulation using statistical models. |
| **F** | **F** |
| Fair value | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |

| G7 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The G7 is a group of finance ministers from seven industrialized nations: the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan. |
| G20 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The G20 is a group of finance ministers and central bank governors from 19 countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, the UK and the US) and the EU. |
| **H** | **H** |
| Haircut | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The percentage by which an asset's market value is reduced for the purpose of calculating capital, margin requirements and collateral levels. This is used to provide a cushion when lending against collateral to account for possible adverse movements in the value of the collateral. |
| Higher Trigger Capital Amount | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The capital ratio write-down triggers for certain of our outstanding capital instruments take into account the fact that other outstanding capital instruments that contain relatively higher capital ratios as part of their trigger feature are expected to convert into equity or be written down prior to the write-down of such capital instruments. The amount of additional capital that is expected to be contributed by such conversion into equity or write-down is referred to as the Higher Trigger Capital Amount. |
| High-net-worth individuals (HNWI) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We define high-net-worth individuals as individuals having assets under management in excess of CHF 1 million. |
| **I** | **I** |
| Incremental risk charge (IRC) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The IRC represents an estimate of the issuer default and migration risk of positions in the trading book over a one-year capital horizon at a 99.9% confidence level, taking into account the liquidity horizons of individual positions. This includes sovereign debt, but excludes securitizations and correlation products. |

| **L** | **L** |
| Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The LCR aims to ensure that banks have a stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets available to meet liquidity needs for a 30-day time horizon under a severe stress scenario. The LCR is comprised of two components: the value of the stock of high quality liquid assets in stressed conditions and the total net cash outflows calculated according to specified scenario parameters. The ratio of liquid assets over net cash outflows should be at least 100%. |
| Lombard loan | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A loan granted against pledged collateral in the form of securities. |
| London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LIBOR is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks borrow unsecured funds from other banks in the London wholesale money market. |
| Loss given default (LGD) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;LGD parameters consider seniority, collateral, counterparty industry and, in certain cases, fair value markdowns. LGD estimates are based on an empirical analysis of historical loss rates and are calibrated to reflect time and cost of recovery as well as economic downturn conditions. For much of the loan portfolio of private banking, corporate and institutional businesses, the LGD is primarily dependent upon the type and amount of collateral pledged. For other retail credit risk, predominantly loans secured by financial collateral, pool LGDs differentiate between standard and higher risks, as well as domestic and foreign transactions. The credit approval and collateral monitoring processes are based on loan-to-value (LTV) limits. For mortgages (residential or commercial), recovery rates are differentiated by type of property. |
| **M** | **M** |
| Material risk takers and controllers (MRTC) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MRTC are employees who, either individually or as a part of a group, are considered to have a potentially material impact on the Group's risk profile. |
| **N** | **N** |
| Negative replacement value (NRV) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NRV represents the negative fair value of a derivative financial instrument at a given financial reporting date. A negative replacement value reflects the amount payable to the counterparty if the derivative transaction were to be settled at the reporting date, or alternatively, the cost at a given reporting date to close an open derivative position with a fully offsetting transaction. |
| Net stable funding ratio (NSFR) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The NSFR is intended to ensure that banks maintain a structurally sound long-term funding profile beyond one year and is a complementary measure to the LCR. It is structured to ensure that illiquid assets are funded with an appropriate amount of stable long-term funds. The standard is defined as the ratio of available stable funding over the amount of required stable funding. The ratio should always be at least 100%. |

| Netting agreements | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Netting agreements are contracts between two parties where under certain circumstances, such as insolvency, bankruptcy or any other credit event, mutual claims from outstanding business transactions can be offset against each other. The inclusion of a legally binding netting agreement reduces the default risk from a gross to a net amount. |
| **O** | **O** |
| Over-the-counter (OTC) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over-the-counter securities and derivatives are not traded on an exchange but via private contracts between counterparties. |
| **P** | **P** |
| Position risk | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Component of the economic capital framework, which is used to assess, monitor and report risk exposures throughout the Group. Position risk is the level of unexpected loss in economic value on our portfolio of positions over a one-year horizon which is exceeded with a given small probability (1% for risk management purposes; 0.03% for capital management purposes). |
| Positive replacement value (PRV) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PRV represents the positive fair value of a derivative financial instrument at a given reporting date. A positive replacement value reflects the amount receivable from the counterparty if the derivative transaction were to be settled at the reporting date, or alternatively, the cost at a given reporting date to enter into the exact same transaction for the residual term, if the existing counterparty should default. |
| Probability of default (PD) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PD parameters capture the risk of a counterparty defaulting over a one-year time horizon. PD estimates are based on time-weighted averages of historical default rates by rating grade, with low-default-portfolio estimation techniques applied for higher quality rating grades. Each PD reflects the internal rating for the relevant obligor. |
| **R** | **R** |
| Regulatory VaR | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulatory VaR is a version of VaR that uses an exponential weighting technique that automatically increases VaR where recent short-term market volatility is greater than long-term volatility in the two-year dataset. Regulatory VaR uses an expected shortfall calculation based on average losses, and a ten-day holding period. This results in a more responsive VaR model, as the overall increases in market volatility are reflected almost immediately in the regulatory VaR model. |
| Repurchase agreements | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Repurchase agreements are securities sold under agreements to repurchase substantially identical securities. These transactions normally do not constitute economic sales and are therefore treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried in the balance sheet at the amount of cash received (liability) and cash disbursed (asset), respectively. |
| Residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RMBS are a type of mortgage-backed security composed of a wide array of different non-commercial mortgage debts. They securitize the mortgage payments of non-commercial real estate. Different residential mortgages with varying credit ratings are pooled together and sold in tranches to investors. |

| Reverse repurchase agreements | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Reverse repurchase agreements are purchases of securities under agreements to resell substantially identical securities. These transactions normally do not constitute economic sales and are therefore treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried in the balance sheet at the amount of cash received (liability) and cash disbursed (asset), respectively. |
| Risk management VaR | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk management VaR is a version of VaR that uses an exponential weighting technique that automatically adjusts VaR where recent short-term market volatility differs from long-term volatility in the two-year dataset. Risk management VaR uses an expected shortfall calculation based on average losses, and a one-day holding period. This results in a more responsive VaR model, as the overall changes in market volatility are reflected almost immediately in the risk management VaR model. |
| Risk mitigation | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk mitigation refers to measures undertaken by the Group or the Bank to actively manage its risk exposure. For credit risk exposure, such measures would normally include utilizing credit hedges and collateral, such as cash and marketable securities. Credit hedges represent the notional exposure that can be transferred to other market counterparties, generally through the use of credit default swaps. In addition, risk mitigation also includes the active management of a loan portfolio by selling or sub-participating positions. |
| Risk not in VaR (RNIV) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RNIV captures a variety of risks, such as certain basis risks, higher order risks and cross risks between asset classes, not adequately captured by the VaR model for example due to lack of sufficient or accurate risk or historical market data. |
| Risk-weighted assets (RWA) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The value of the Group's assets weighted according to certain identified risks for compliance with regulatory provisions. |
| **S** | **S** |
| Stressed VaR | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stressed VaR replicates a VaR calculation on the current portfolio of the Group or the Bank, taking into account a one-year observation period relating to significant financial stress; it helps reduce the pro-cyclicality of the minimum capital requirements for market risk. |
| Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINMA, as an independent supervisory authority, protects creditors, investors and policy holders, ensuring the smooth functioning of the financial markets and preserving their reputation. In its role as state supervisory authority, FINMA acts as an oversight authority of banks, insurance companies, exchanges, securities dealers, collective investment schemes, distributors and insurance intermediaries. It is responsible for combating money laundering and, where necessary, conducts restructuring and bankruptcy proceedings and issues operating licenses for companies in the supervised sectors. Through its supervisory activities, it ensures that supervised institutions comply with the requisite laws, ordinances, directives and regulations and continues to fulfill the licensing requirements. FINMA also acts as a regulatory body; it participates in legislative procedures, issues its own ordinances and circulars where authorized to do so, and is responsible for the recognition of self-regulatory standards. |

| "Too Big to Fail" | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 2011, the Swiss Parliament passed legislation relating to big banks. The legislation includes capital and liquidity requirements and rules regarding risk diversification and emergency plans designed to maintain systemically relevant functions even in the event of threatened insolvency. |
| Total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TLAC is a regulatory requirement designed to ensure that Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs) have the loss-absorbing and recapitalization capacity so that, in an immediately following resolution, critical functions can continue without requiring taxpayer support or threatening financial stability. |
| Total return swap (TRS) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A TRS is a swap agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains. In total return swaps, the underlying asset, referred to as the reference asset, is usually an equity index, loans or bonds. |

| Value-at-risk (VaR) | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VaR is a technique used to measure the potential loss in fair value of financial instruments based on a statistical analysis of historical price trends and volatilities. VaR as a concept is applicable for all financial risk types with adequate price histories; the use of VaR allows the comparison of risk across different businesses. |

**Art. 8 Powers**

The Shareholders' Meeting has the following powers which may not be delegated:

1. amending the Articles of Association;

2. electing the Members of the Board of Directors, the Chairperson, and the Members of the Compensation Committee. Art. 15, Section 3 and Art. 20a, Section 3 shall be reserved;

**Art. 8a Approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors**

1 The Shareholders' Meeting approves on an annual basis the compensation of the Board of Directors in advance for the period up until the next ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

2 The compensation may be paid partly in the form of participation rights in the Company. If so, the Board of Directors shall determine the conditions, including any disposal restrictions.

3 Members of the Board of Directors may also be paid compensation from other Group companies as long as this is included in the approved compensation as per Section 1.

4 If the Shareholders' Meeting refuses to approve the proposal of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 1, the Board of Directors may submit a new proposal to a subsequent extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting or to the next ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

**Art. 8b Approval of the compensation of the Executive Board**

1 The Shareholders' Meeting approves on an annual basis the compensation of the Executive Board as a maximum amount or as maximum partial amounts in advance or retroactively for the period described in the proposal of the Board of Directors.

2 Insofar as the compensation is approved in advance, the Shareholders' Meeting shall in addition hold an advisory vote on the compensation report for this period.

3 The compensation consists of a fixed component and a variable component. The variable component comprises both short-term incentive compensation elements (which may contain deferred compensation elements with a qualifying period of up to three years from the date of grant) and long-term incentive compensation elements (which may contain deferred compensation elements with a longer qualifying period of at least three years from the date of grant). The variable component is dependent upon the attainment of individual and collective, short-term and long-term performance targets, which the Board of Directors sets on a regular basis.

4 The compensation may be paid partly in the form of participation rights in the Company or in the form of derivatives based on such participation rights or other financial instruments.

------

5 Conditional and deferred compensation components should be factored into the compensation at their fair value at date of grant. The Board of Directors determines grant, vesting, blocking, exercise and forfeiture conditions; they may provide for continuation, acceleration or removal of vesting and exercise conditions, for payment or grant of compensation assuming target achievement or for forfeiture in the event of pre-determined events such as a termination of an employment or mandate agreement.

6 Members of the Executive Board may also receive compensation from other Group companies as long as this is included in the approved compensation as per Section 1.

7 If the Shareholders' Meeting refuses to approve the proposal of the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 1, the Board of Directors may submit a new proposal for approval to a subsequent extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting or to the next ordinary Shareholders' Meeting.

**Art. 8c Reserve for changes to the Executive Board**

1 If the Shareholders' Meeting has approved in advance a maximum amount for the full or partial compensation of the Executive Board, the Company may use an additional maximum 30% of this amount per compensation period during the relevant compensation periods for the full or partial compensation of persons who have been newly appointed to the Executive Board or promoted within the Executive Board.

2 The additional amount may only be used if the compensation of the Executive Board approved by the Shareholders' Meeting in advance proves insufficient for the compensation of the new or promoted Members in the period until the next vote of the Shareholders' Meeting.

3 Where the payment of compensation is concerned, the other provisions of the Articles of Association apply *mutatis mutandis*.

**Art. 9 Notice of Shareholders' Meetings**

1 Notice of the Shareholders' Meeting must be given at least 20 days before the Shareholders' Meeting takes place. Notice of the meeting is to be published in the Swiss Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt).

**Art. 10 Voting rights**

1 Subject to the provisions of Art. 4, Section 3 every share carries one vote at the Shareholders' Meeting. However, except as set out in Sections 3-5 below, the shares for which a single shareholder can directly or indirectly exercise voting rights for his or her own shares or as a proxy may not exceed 2 percent of the total outstanding share capital.

2 For the purposes of the restrictions on voting rights as laid down in Section 1 above, legal entities, partnerships or groups of joint owners or other groups in which individuals or legal entities are related to one another through capital ownership or voting rights or have a common management or are otherwise interrelated shall be regarded as being a single shareholder. The same shall apply to individuals, legal entities or partnerships that act in concert (especially as a syndicate) with intent to evade the limitation on voting rights.

3 The restrictions on voting rights do not apply to the exercise of voting rights by the independent proxy; for the instructing shareholders Section 1 and Section 2 remain reserved.

------

4 Nor do the restrictions on voting rights apply to shares in respect of which the shareholder confirms to the Company in the application for registration that he or she has acquired the shares in his or her name for his or her own account and in respect of which the disclosure requirement set out in Section 6 below has been satisfied.

5 In addition, the restrictions on voting rights do not apply to shares which are registered in the name of a nominee, provided that this nominee furnishes the Company with the name, address and shareholding of the person(s) (as per definition in Section 2 above) for whose account he or she holds 0.5 percent or more of the total share capital outstanding at the time and for which he or she (or the beneficial owner, as appropriate) has satisfied the disclosure requirement set out in section 6 below. The Board of Directors has the right to conclude agreements with nominees concerning both their disclosure requirement and the exercise of voting rights.

6 The disclosure obligation must be discharged in accordance with Art. 120 of the Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading of 19 June 2015 and the relevant ordinances and regulations.

7 The Board of Directors shall issue regulations regarding the proof of share ownership which is necessary in order to obtain voting cards.

Preamble

**Corporate governance**

Together with the Articles of Association, the Code of Conduct, the BoD and Committee Charters, and the Compensation Policy, the OGR defines the corporate governance guidelines of the Group. These form the basis for effective and efficient corporate governance of the Group.

**Group**

The Group consists of CSG and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries, which together form one economic unit.

**CSG**

CSG is a holding company domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland. Its statutory purpose is to hold direct or indirect interest in all types of businesses in Switzerland and abroad, in particular in the areas of banking, finance, asset management and insurance. CSG sets standards for the Group to allow for an efficient and harmonized steering of the Group.

**Governance principles**

The governance of the Group is based on the principles of an integrated oversight and management structure with global scope. In particular, as an organization active in the financial services industry, Swiss regulatory principles of consolidated supervision apply to the Group governance and organization. Corporate bodies and officers are, subject to applicable local laws, regulations and best practice standards, bound to ensure transparency and collaboration throughout the Group, in particular through the appropriate flow of information and cooperation within and across all businesses and organizational structures. In addition, it is an important principle that conflicting interests shall, to the extent possible, be avoided, disclosed and aligned.

**Business**

The Group is engaged in the banking business, which is primarily performed through CS and its Major Subsidiaries. CS is domiciled in Zurich, Switzerland. The statutory purpose is the operation of a bank, and its scope of operations extends to all types of banking, financial, advisory, service, and trading activities in Switzerland and abroad. CS and its subsidiaries are provided with infrastructure and other services through the service company Credit Suisse Services AG, Switzerland.

------

**Group structure**

The Group is structured into four Divisions (Wealth Management; Investment Bank; Swiss Bank; and Asset Management), four geographic Regions (Switzerland; EMEA; APAC; and Americas) and Corporate Functions. In addition, there is a CRU for the purposes of releasing capital from non-core businesses. The Regions reinforce the Group's integrated model of global businesses and support the Divisions and Corporate Functions across the various businesses, in particular in terms of market, client and talent development. In addition, the Regions oversee the legal entities, maintain the relationship with the regulators and ensure a robust risk-based control environment. The Corporate Functions provide products, infrastructure and services to the Divisions and Regions, as well as perform control activities independent from the Divisions and Regions. The Divisions and Regions coordinate their activities in collaboration with the Corporate Functions where appropriate.

**Division Wealth Management**

WM provides private banking and wealth management capabilities to clients globally (except United States of America).

**Division Investment Bank**

IB offers a broad range of financial products and services focused on client-driven businesses and also supports WM and its clients.

Financial products and services include global securities sales, trading and execution, capital raising and advisory services for clients such as financial institutions, corporations, governments, sovereigns, ultra-high-net-worth and institutional investors, including pension funds and hedge funds, financial sponsors and private individuals around the world.

**Division Swiss Bank**

SB provides domestic personal & business clients, private clients, corporate and institutional banking capabilities to clients in Switzerland.

**Division Asset Management**

AM provides investment solutions and services globally to a broad range of clients, including pension funds, governments, foundations and endowments, corporations and individuals.

------

**Capital Release Unit**

CRU comprises a NCU and the Group's residual Securitized Products business. The NCU's purpose is to release capital through the wind-down of non-strategic, low return and higher-risk business.

------

I. Introduction

**1. Scope and content**

1.1 The OGR establishes the duties and responsibilities of the BoD and its committees, the Chairman, the CEO, the ExB, and the ExB committees, as well as certain executive functions of the Group. It further establishes the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Functions, the Divisional CEOs, the Divisional MCs, the Divisional RMCs, the Regional CEOs, the Regional MCs, and Internal Audit.

1.2 The OGR shall be applicable to CSG and CS. As long as the BoDs and ExBs of CSG and CS are mainly composed of the same persons, the meetings of the BoDs respectively ExBs shall be held for both companies simultaneously and with the same agenda, and the minutes of these meetings shall reflect the decisions taken for both companies, except for specific items which are different for each company (e.g. statutory financial statements, preparation of shareholder meetings). The same principle applies to the activities and meetings of the BoD and ExB committees.

1.3 To the extent permitted by local law and regulatory guidelines, the organizational regulations of the other direct and indirect subsidiaries and other enterprises owned or controlled by CSG shall reflect the same principles and rules as stated in this OGR.

1.4 CSG controls directly or indirectly all of its subsidiaries and sets standards for the Group to allow for an efficient and harmonized steering of the Group. Notwithstanding this, the legal independence of all subsidiaries and the provisions of applicable local laws, rules and regulations relating to them must be observed to the extent legally required. Each subsidiary may establish additional separate regulations to regulate business specific to such entity.

1.5 Governance bodies and officers are, subject to applicable local laws, rules and regulations, bound to ensure transparency and collaboration within the Group. Governance bodies and officers may have multiple responsibilities and reporting lines within the Group.

1.6 The responsibilities and authorities set out in these regulations including the annexes may only be delegated if expressly permitted herein or with the explicit approval or ratification by the BoD for a specific transaction or activity.

1.7 Notwithstanding any delegation of authority or approval process provided for in these regulations, no person shall participate in the approval, execution or implementation of any transaction (including the opening, closing or managing of a client's account) or otherwise have any responsibility for or role in the execution or implementation of any such transaction, if such participation, responsibility or role would cause such person or any entity within the Group to violate any law or regulation to which such person or entity is subject.

1.8 CSG may allocate full management responsibility over its directly held subsidiaries to CS. The ExB shall decide to which extent they shall be integrated in CS's management processes.

------

**2. Approval procedures for urgent business matters**

2.1 Should immediate action be required to ensure the conclusion of an urgent business matter, which lies in the authority of the BoD, provided that the BoD is not in a position to act in time (e.g. lack of a quorum) and there is no clear indication that the BoD would not approve the respective proposal, the matter may as an exception be approved by the Chairman. To the extent possible, available BoD members shall be consulted.

2.2 Should immediate action be required to ensure the conclusion of an urgent business matter which lies in the authority of a particular body or executive function, provided that the authorized body or executive function is not in a position to act in time and there is no clear indication that the business matter contains excessive risks or the authorized body or executive function would not approve the respective business matter, and there are no other instructions from the CEO or the responsible ExB member, the respective business matter may as an exception be approved by the body or executive function one level below the authorized body or executive function. In any event, the CEO or the responsible ExB member, to the extent possible, must be consulted.

2.3 If the procedure outlined in section 2.1 and 2.2 is applied, the BoD or the authorized body or executive function (as applicable) must be advised of such transaction or business matter at the earliest opportunity.

------

II. Board of Directors

**3. Organization**

3.1 The BoD shall consist of at least seven members. In this regard, the BoD considers the principle that the BoD should be of an appropriate size to ensure a qualified composition of the Committees on the one hand and an efficient decision making process on the other.

The BoD shall consist of at least a majority of independent directors as determined by the BoD taking into account the factors set forth below, the charters of the committees of the BoD and any applicable laws and regulations, in particular the SIX Exchange Directive on Information relating to Corporate Governance, the Swiss Code of Best Practice, the New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Listing Standards and the SOX rules.

3.2 In general, a director is considered independent, if he

■ is not, and has not been for the past three years, employed as an ExB member at CSG or any of its subsidiaries or in another significant function at the Group;

■ is not, and has not been for the past three years, an employee or affiliate of CSG's external auditor;

■ does not, according to the BoD's assessment, maintain a material direct or indirect business relationship with CSG or any of its subsidiaries which causes a conflict of interest due to its nature or extent;

■ is not, or has not been for the past three years, part of an interlocking directorate in which an ExB member serves on the compensation committee of another company that employs the BoD member.

BoD members with immediate family members who would not qualify as independent according to the above listed criteria shall be subject to a three-year cooling-off period for purposes of determining their independence after fulfilment of the independence criteria by the immediate family member.

3.3 The BoD shall discharge its responsibilities as a joint board or through committees elected by the AGM or appointed by the BoD respectively from among its members.

3.4 The BoD proposes to the AGM the election of the Chairman and appoints one or more vice-chairs and the chairs of the committees of the BoD from among its members for a term until the end of the next AGM.

3.5 The BoD may appoint a Lead Independent Director. If the Chairman is deemed non-independent by the BoD, the BoD must appoint a Lead Independent Director.

The Lead Independent Director may convene for meetings without the Chairman being present.

3.6 The BoD shall designate one or more Secretaries who need not be a member of the BoD.

3.7 A member of the BoD shall generally retire at the AGM of the year in which he has been serving on the BoD for 12 years. Under certain circumstances, the BoD may extend the limit of terms of office for a particular member of the BoD for a maximum of three years.

**Exhibit 2.2**

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 12 OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

As of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group AG ("**Credit Suisse Group**" and the "**Company**") had shares and American Depositary Shares registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Credit Suisse Group's subsidiary, Credit Suisse AG (the "**Issuer**," "**we**," "**us**," and "**our**"), had certain Exchange-Traded Notes registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

REGISTERED SHARES

**General**

The following description of Credit Suisse Group's registered shares is a summary and does not purport to be complete. The summary describes the material terms of the registered shares of Credit Suisse Group, par value CHF 0.04 per share, which Credit Suisse Group refers to as the Company's "**shares**." The summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Articles of Association, which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F of which this Exhibit 2.2 is a part.

As of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group had fully paid and issued share capital of CHF 160,086,322.48, comprised of 4,002,158,062 registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.04 each.

As of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group had additional authorized share capital in the amount of CHF 5,000,000, authorizing the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group (the "**Board of Directors**") to issue at any time until April 29, 2024 up to 125,000,000 registered shares, to be fully paid in, with a par value of CHF 0.04 each.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group had total conditional share capital in the amount of CHF 12,000,000, for the issuance of a maximum of 300,000,000 registered shares with a par value of CHF 0.04 each, reserved for the purpose of increasing share capital through the conversion of bonds or other financial market instruments of Credit Suisse Group or any subsidiary thereof that allow for contingent compulsory conversion into Credit Suisse Group's shares and that are issued in order to fulfill or maintain compliance with regulatory requirements of Credit Suisse Group and/or any subsidiary thereof ("**contingent convertible bonds**").

Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group had conversion capital in the amount of CHF 6,000,000 for the issuance of a maximum of 150,000,000 registered shares, to be fully paid in, with a par value of CHF 0.04 each, through the compulsory conversion upon occurrence of the trigger event of claims arising out of contingent convertible bonds of Credit Suisse Group and/or any subsidiary thereof, or other financial market instruments of Credit Suisse Group and/or any subsidiary thereof, that provide for a contingent or unconditional compulsory conversion into shares of Credit Suisse Group.

As of December 31, 2022, Credit Suisse Group, together with its subsidiaries, held 60,907,981 of its own shares, representing 1.52% of its issued shares. The Company's shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the symbol "CSGN" and, in the form of American Depositary Shares, on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CS."

**Shareholder Rights** 

**1. Dividend Rights** 

Under Swiss law, dividends may be paid out only if and to the extent a corporation has distributable profits from previous financial years or has freely distributable reserves, in each case, as presented on the annual statutory standalone balance sheet of the corporation. Further, dividends may only be fixed after the assignments have been made to the statutory retained earnings. In addition, at least 5% of the annual net profits of a corporation must be retained and booked as statutory retained earnings for so long as these retained earnings, together with the statutory capital reserve, amount to less than 20% of its paid-in share capital. The Company's reserves currently exceed this 20% threshold. In addition, an interim dividend may be paid out based on an interim account. The provisions above governing dividends also apply for such interim dividends. The external auditor must review the interim account before the shareholders approve the interim dividend."

The Board of Directors may propose that a dividend be paid out, but cannot itself set the dividend. The auditors must confirm that the dividend proposal of the Board of Directors conforms to statutory law and the Company's Articles of Association. Dividends may be paid out only after approval of the shareholders. In practice, the shareholders usually approve the dividend proposal of the Board of Directors. Dividends are usually due and payable after the shareholders' resolution approving the payment has been passed, but the shareholders can set a specific due date in the resolution itself. Under Swiss law, the statute of limitations in respect of dividend payments is five years.

**2. Voting and Transfer** 

In principle, each share carries one vote at the Company's shareholders' meetings. The shares for which a single shareholder can directly or indirectly exercise voting rights for his or her own shares or as a proxy may not exceed 2% of the total outstanding share capital, except that such restrictions do not apply to (i) the exercise of voting rights by the independent proxy as elected by the shareholders' meeting, (ii) shares in respect of which the holder confirms to the Company in the application for registration in the Company's share register that he or she has acquired the shares in his or her name for his or her own account and further, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting 2023 ("**AGM 2023**") of the Company that the article in the Company's Articles of Association regarding this shall be amended to the effect that a further declaration is necessary that the shareholder confirms that there is no agreement on the redemption of the relevant shares and that they bear the economic risk associated with the shares and in respect of which the disclosure obligations pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Financial Market Infrastructures and Market Conduct in Securities and Derivatives Trading dated June 19, 2015, as amended and the relevant ordinances and regulations have been fulfilled or (iii) shares registered in the name of a nominee, provided the nominee furnishes the Company with the name, address and shareholdings of any beneficial owner or group of related beneficial owners on behalf of whom the nominee holds 0.5% or more of the Company's total outstanding share capital. The Board of Directors has the right to conclude agreements with nominees concerning both their disclosure requirement and the exercise of voting rights. Voting rights may be exercised only after a shareholder has been recorded in the share register as a shareholder with voting rights. In order to be registered in the share register, the purchaser must file a share registration form with the depository bank. The registration of shares in the Company's share register may be requested at any time. Failing such registration, the purchaser may not vote or participate in shareholders' meetings. Registration with voting rights is subject to certain restrictions as described below.

Legal entities, partnerships or groups of joint owners or other groups in which individuals or legal entities are related to one another through capital ownership or voting rights or have a common management or are otherwise interrelated, as well as individuals, legal entities or partnerships that act in concert (especially as a syndicate) with intent to evade the limitation on voting rights are considered as one shareholder or nominee.

Each shareholder, whether registered in the Company's share register or not, is entitled to receive the dividends approved by the shareholders. The same principle applies for capital repayments in the event of a reduction of the share capital, and for liquidation proceeds in the event the Company is dissolved or liquidated. Under Swiss law, a shareholder has no liability for capital calls, but is also not entitled to reclaim its capital contribution. Swiss law further requires the Company to apply the principle of equal treatment to all shareholders.

The Company may issue shares in the form of single certificates, global certificates, uncertificated securities and as intermediated securities in the sense of the Federal Act on Intermediated Securities as proposed to the AGM 2023. Intermediated securities in the sense of the Swiss Federal Act on Intermediated Securities dated October 3, 2008, as amended (the "**FISA**") are fungible claims or membership rights against an issuer that are credited to one or more securities accounts of a custodian within the meaning of the FISA, which must be a regulated entity such as a bank or a securities dealer. The transfer of intermediated securities representing the Company's shares, and the pledging of these intermediated securities as collateral, is governed by, and must be done in accordance with, the FISA. Transfer or pledging these intermediated securities as collateral by means of written assignment is not permitted.

------

The Company may convert issued shares from one form into another form at any time, without the approval of the shareholders. Shareholders have no right to demand that the Company's shares be converted from one form into another form. Shareholders may, however, at any time request that the Company issue a certification attesting to the shares that they hold according to the Company's share register.

**3. Pre-Emptive Subscription Rights and Preferential Subscription Rights**

Under Swiss law, any share issue, whether for cash or non-cash consideration, is subject to the prior approval of the shareholders. Shareholders have certain pre-emptive subscription rights (Bezugsrechte) to subscribe for new issues of shares as well as preferential subscription rights (Vorwegzeichnungsrechte) to subscribe for option bonds, convertible bonds or similar debt instruments with option or convertible rights in proportion to the nominal amount of shares held. A resolution adopted by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes and the absolute majority of the share capital, in each case, represented at the shareholders' meeting, may limit or exclude pre-emptive subscription rights in certain limited circumstances.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company's Articles of Association provide that, in the case of contingent convertible bonds that provide for the issuance of new shares out of the Company's conditional share capital, in order for the Board of Directors to exclude shareholders' preferential subscription rights, the contingent convertible bonds must be issued on the national or international capital markets (including private placements with selected strategic investors). In such case, (i) the contingent convertible bonds must be issued at prevailing market conditions, (ii) the setting of the issue price of the new shares must take due account of the stock market price of the shares and/or comparable instruments priced by the market at the time of issue or time of conversion, and (iii) conditional conversion features may remain in place indefinitely.

The Board of Directors will propose to the AGM 2023 that the conditional and authorized capital of the Company will be cancelled and replaced with the so called "capital range" (*Kapitalband*). The new corporate law provides for the instrument of the capital range, which functionally corresponds, among other things, to the authorized capital under the former Swiss corporate law. Under the capital range, the general meeting of shareholders may authorize the board of directors to increase or reduce the share capital within a certain range - legally permissible is 150% (upper limit) to 50% (lower limit) - of the share capital entered in the commercial register at the time the capital range was introduced. The maximum authorization is limited by law to five years. The general meeting of shareholders has the right to withdraw shareholders' subscription rights directly or may delegate this right to the board of directors, provided that it expressly states the reasons for the withdrawal of subscription rights in the articles of association.

Shareholders' preferential subscription rights with regards to financial market instruments with conversion features will be granted. If a quick placement of contingent convertible bonds in large tranches is required, the Board of Directors is authorized to exclude shareholders' preferential subscription rights. In such circumstances, these contingent convertible bonds must be issued at prevailing market conditions.

The Board of Directors determines the issue price of the new shares taking due account of the stock market price of the shares and/or comparable instruments.

**4. Liquidation**

Under Swiss law and the Company's Articles of Association, the Company may be dissolved at any time, by way of liquidation or in the case of a merger in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Merger, Demerger, Transformation and Transfer of Assets dated October 3, 2003, as amended, based on a shareholders' resolution, which must be passed by (i) in the case of dissolution by way of liquidation, a supermajority of at least three-quarters of the votes cast at the shareholders' meeting, and (ii) in all other cases, a supermajority of at least two-thirds of the votes, and an absolute majority of the par value of the shares, represented at the shareholders' meeting. As the Company is the Swiss ultimate parent company of a financial group, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA ("**FINMA**") is the only competent authority to open restructuring or liquidation (bankruptcy) proceedings with respect to the Company. Under Swiss law, any surplus arising out of liquidation (after the settlement of all claims of all creditors) is distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up par value of shares held.

**Limitations on Share Ownership**

There are no limitations under Swiss law or the Company's Articles of Association on the rights of shareholders to own shares, subject to certain notification and other review requirements in the case of the direct or indirect acquisition of 10% or more of the Company's banks' capital or voting rights. The rights of any shareholder to vote may, however, be restricted in certain circumstances as described above.

AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

**General**

The following description of the Company's American Depositary Shares is a summary and does not purport to be complete. The ordinary shares of the Company may be issued in the form of American Depositary Shares, each representing deposited ordinary shares (the "**Ordinary Shares**") of the Company. Each American Depositary Share represents one Ordinary Share deposited or subject to deposit under the Deposit Agreement (as hereafter defined) with a custodian for the Depositary (as hereafter defined) (the "**Custodian**").

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of November 22, 2016 among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon (the "**Depositary**") and all other Owners and Holders from time to time of American Depositary Shares issued thereunder (the "**Deposit Agreement**"). The summaries and descriptions below do not purport to be complete statements of the relevant provisions of the Deposit Agreement, and are entirely qualified by that document. Please refer to Exhibit 1 on Form F-6 (File No. 333-267962 filed with the SEC on October 20, 2022. Copies of the Deposit Agreement are also available for inspection at the office of the Depositary at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10286, and at the office of the Custodian.

Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Deposit Agreement.

**Voting Rights**

Upon receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting of holders of Ordinary Shares at which holders of Ordinary Shares will be entitled to vote, or a solicitation of proxies or consents of holders of Ordinary Shares, if requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, Disseminate to the Owners a notice, the form of which shall be approved by the Company in advance (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), that shall contain (i) the information (including, without limitation, solicitation materials) contained in the notice of meeting received by the Depositary, (ii) a statement that the Owners as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of Swiss law and of the Articles of Association or similar documents of the Company, to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Ordinary Shares represented by their respective American Depositary Shares, (iii) a statement as to the manner in which those instructions may be given and (iv) the last date on which the Depositary will accept instructions (the "**Instruction Cutoff Date**").

Upon the written request of an Owner of American Depositary Shares, as of the date of the request or, if a record date was specified by the Depositary, as of that record date, received on or before any Instruction Cutoff Date established by the Depositary, the Depositary may, and if the Depositary sent a notice under the preceding paragraph shall, endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of deposited Ordinary Shares represented by those American Depositary Shares in accordance with the instructions set forth in that request. The Depositary shall not vote or attempt to exercise the right to vote that attaches to the Deposited Securities, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, other than in accordance with instructions given by Owners and received by the Depositary, or exercise any discretion as to voting Deposited Securities.

There can be no assurance that Owners generally or any Owner in particular will receive the notice described above in time to enable Owners to give instructions to the Depositary prior to the Instruction Cutoff Date.

In order to give Owners a reasonable opportunity to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of voting rights relating to Ordinary Shares, if the Company will request the Depositary to Disseminate a notice as described above, the Company shall give the Depositary notice of the meeting, details concerning the matters to be voted upon and copies of materials to be made available to holders of Ordinary Shares in connection with the meeting not less than 30 days prior to the meeting date.

The Company has informed the Depositary that its Articles of Association and Swiss law require disclosures as a condition of voting by persons holding shares of the Company's capital stock in excess of a specified threshold amount. If the Company instructs the Depositary to send a notice of a meeting of holders of Ordinary Shares as described above, it shall, at the same time, notify the Depositary of the amount of Ordinary Shares that, at the time, constitutes two percent of the Company's outstanding share capital. If the amount of Ordinary Shares held under the Deposit Agreement as of the record date set by the Depositary with respect to that meeting exceeds the amount specified in the Company's notice, the Depositary shall include in its notice to Owners a statement that an Owner may not give voting instructions on its own behalf if it beneficially owns an amount of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), and a Holder may not give voting instructions as proxy or substitute proxy of an Owner if it beneficially owns an amount of Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares),

------

that constitutes 0.5% or more of the Company's share capital (being one quarter of the amount of Ordinary Shares specified in the Company's notice to the Depositary) unless that Owner, or that Holder, as the case may be, discloses to the Depositary the name, address and total beneficial ownership of Company share capital of that Owner or Holder, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Depositary be entitled to exercise any discretion as to voting or vote on behalf of any Owner or Holder except in accordance with instructions received from that Owner or Holder. The Depositary shall forward to the Company each disclosure it receives under this paragraph, but will have no duty to verify the accuracy of any disclosure of that kind or any duty or liability if an Owner or Holder fails to disclose as required by this paragraph.

**Distributions**

Whenever the Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 of the Deposit Agreement, as promptly as practicable, convert that dividend or other distribution into Dollars and distribute the amount thus received (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement) to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing those Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that if the Custodian or the Depositary shall be required by applicable law to withhold and does withhold from that cash dividend or other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, the amount distributed to the Owners of the American Depositary Shares representing those Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. However, the Depositary will not pay any Owner a fraction of one cent, but will round each Owner's entitlement to the nearest whole cent.

The Company or its agent will remit to the appropriate governmental agency in each applicable jurisdiction all amounts withheld and owing to such agency. The Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, forward to the Company or its agent such information from its records as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company or its agent to file necessary reports with governmental agencies. Each Owner and Holder agrees to indemnify the Company, the Depositary, the Custodian and their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates for, and hold each of them harmless against, any claim by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced withholding at source or other tax benefit received by it.

If a cash distribution would represent a return of all or substantially all the value of the Deposited Securities underlying American Depositary Shares, the Depositary may require surrender of those American Depositary Shares and may require payment of or deduct the fee for surrender of American Depositary Shares (whether or not it is also requiring surrender of American Depositary Shares) as a condition of making that cash distribution. A distribution of that kind shall be a Termination Option Event.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.11 and 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement, whenever the Depositary receives any distribution other than a distribution described in Section 4.1, 4.3 or 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement on Deposited Securities (but not in exchange for or in conversion or in lieu of Deposited Securities), the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the Owners entitled thereto, after deduction or upon payment of any fees and expenses of the Depositary and any taxes or other governmental charges, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, in any manner that the Depositary reasonably deems equitable and practicable for accomplishing that distribution (which may be a distribution of depositary shares representing the securities received); provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the Owners entitled thereto, or if for any other reason (including, but not limited to, any requirement that the Company or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges or that securities received must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in order to be distributed to Owners or Holders) the Depositary reasonably deems such distribution not to be lawful and feasible, the Depositary may, after consultation with the Company to the extent practicable, adopt such other method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to, the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and distribution of the net proceeds of any such sale (net of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement) to the Owners entitled thereto, all in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement. The Depositary may withhold any distribution of securities under Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement if it has not received reasonably satisfactory assurances from the Company that the distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of securities or other property it would otherwise distribute under Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement that is sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution.

If a distribution under Section 4.2 of the Deposit Agreement would represent a return of all or substantially all the value of the Deposited Securities underlying American Depositary Shares, the Depositary may require surrender of those American Depositary Shares and may require payment of or deduct the fee for surrender of American Depositary Shares (whether or not it is also requiring

------

surrender of American Depositary Shares) as a condition of making that distribution. A distribution of that kind shall be a Termination Option Event.

Whenever the Depositary receives any distribution on Deposited Securities consisting of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Ordinary Shares, the Depositary may, and shall, if the Company so requests in writing, deliver, as promptly as practicable, to the Owners entitled thereto, in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares representing those Deposited Securities held by them respectively, an aggregate number of American Depositary Shares representing the amount of Ordinary Shares received as that dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement with respect to the deposit of Shares and issuance of American Depositary Shares, including withholding of any tax or governmental charge as provided in Section 4.11 of the Deposit Agreement and payment of the fees and expenses of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement (and the Depositary may sell, by public or private sale, an amount of the Ordinary Shares received (or American Depositary Shares representing those Ordinary Shares) sufficient to pay its fees and expenses in respect of that distribution). In lieu of delivering fractional American Depositary Shares, the Depositary may sell the amount of Ordinary Shares represented by the aggregate of those fractions (or American Depositary Shares representing those Ordinary Shares) and distribute the net proceeds, all in the manner and subject to the conditions described in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement. If and to the extent that additional American Depositary Shares are not delivered and Ordinary Shares or American Depositary Shares are not sold, each American Depositary Share shall thenceforth also represent the additional Ordinary Shares distributed on the Deposited Securities represented thereby.

If the Company declares a distribution in which holders of Deposited Securities have a right to elect whether to receive cash, Ordinary Shares or other securities or a combination of those things, or a right to elect to have a distribution sold on their behalf, the Depositary shall, after consultation with the Company, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, make that right of election available for exercise by Owners in any manner the Depositary considers to be lawful and practical. As a condition of making a distribution election right available to Owners, the Depositary may require satisfactory assurances from the Company that doing so does not require registration of any securities under the Securities Act of 1933. If a right of election is made available to Owners and an Owner elects to receive the proposed dividend (x) in cash, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.1 of the Deposit Agreement, or (y) in American Depositary Shares, the dividend shall be distributed upon the terms described in Section 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement. Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary or the Company to make available to Owners a method to receive the elective dividend in Ordinary Shares (rather than American Depositary Shares). There can be no assurance that Owners generally, or any Owner in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Ordinary Shares.

**Reports and Other Communications**

On or before the first date on which the Company gives notice, by publication or otherwise, of any meeting of holders of Ordinary Shares, or of any adjourned meeting of those holders, or of the taking of any action in respect of any cash or other distributions or the granting of any rights, the Company agrees to transmit to the Depositary and the Custodian a copy of the notice thereof in English but otherwise in the form given or to be given to holders of Ordinary Shares.

The Company will arrange for the translation into English, if not already in English, to the extent required pursuant to any regulations of the Commission, and the prompt transmittal by the Company to the Depositary and the Custodian of all notices and any other reports and communications which are made generally available by the Company to holders of its Ordinary Shares. If requested in writing by the Company, the Depositary will, as promptly as practicable, Disseminate, at the Company's expense, those notices, reports and communications to all Owners or otherwise make them available to Owners in a manner that the Company specifies as substantially equivalent to the manner in which those communications are made available to holders of Ordinary Shares and compliant with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the American Depositary Shares are listed. The Company will timely provide the Depositary with the quantity of such notices, reports, and communications, as requested by the Depositary from time to time, in order for the Depositary to effect that Dissemination.

**Rights**

(a) If rights are granted to the Depositary in respect of deposited Ordinary Shares to purchase additional Ordinary Shares or other securities, the Company and the Depositary shall endeavor to consult as to the actions, if any, the Depositary should take in connection with that grant of rights. The Depositary may, to the extent deemed by it to be lawful and practical (i) if requested in writing by the Company, grant to all or certain Owners rights to instruct the Depositary to purchase the securities to which the rights relate and deliver those securities or American Depositary Shares representing those securities to Owners, (ii) if requested in writing by the Company, deliver the rights to or to the order of certain Owners or (iii) sell the rights to the extent practicable and distribute the net

------

proceeds of that sale to Owners entitled to those proceeds. To the extent rights are not exercised, delivered or disposed of under (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Depositary shall permit the rights to lapse unexercised.

(b) If the Depositary will act under (a)(i) above, the Company and the Depositary will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the conditions and procedures applicable to the particular offering. Upon instruction from an applicable Owner in the form the Depositary specified and upon payment by that Owner to the Depositary of an amount equal to the purchase price of the securities to be received upon the exercise of the rights, the Depositary shall, on behalf of that Owner, exercise the rights and purchase the securities. The purchased securities shall be delivered to, or as instructed by, the Depositary. The Depositary shall (i) deposit the purchased Ordinary Shares under the Deposit Agreement and deliver American Depositary Shares representing those Ordinary Shares to that Owner or (ii) deliver or cause the purchased Ordinary Shares or other securities to be delivered to or to the order of that Owner. The Depositary will not act under (a)(i) above unless the offer and sale of the securities to which the rights relate are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Depositary has received an opinion of United States counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that those securities may be sold and delivered to the applicable Owners without registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

(c) If the Depositary will act under (a)(ii) above, the Company and the Depositary will enter into a separate agreement setting forth the conditions and procedures applicable to the particular offering. Upon (i) the request of an applicable Owner to deliver the rights allocable to the American Depositary Shares of that Owner to an account specified by that Owner to which the rights can be delivered and (ii) receipt of such documents as the Company and the Depositary agreed to require to comply with applicable law, the Depositary will deliver those rights as requested by that Owner.

(d) If the Depositary will act under (a)(iii) above, the Depositary will use reasonable efforts to sell the rights in proportion to the number of American Depositary Shares held by the applicable Owners and pay the net proceeds to the Owners otherwise entitled to the rights that were sold, upon an averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such Owners because of exchange restrictions or the date of delivery of any American Depositary Shares or otherwise.

(e) Payment or deduction of the fees of the Depositary as provided in Section 5.9 of the Deposit Agreement and payment or deduction of the expenses of the Depositary and any applicable taxes or other governmental charges shall be conditions of any delivery of securities or payment of cash proceeds under Section 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement.

(f) The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to determine that it may be lawful or feasible to make rights available to or exercise rights on behalf of Owners in general or any Owner in particular, or to sell rights.

**Replacement of Deposited Securities**

If the Depositary is notified of or there occurs any change in nominal value or any subdivision, combination or any other reclassification of the Deposited Securities or any recapitalization, reorganization, sale of assets substantially as an entirety, merger or consolidation affecting the issuer of the Deposited Securities or to which it is a party that is mandatory and binding on the Depositary as a holder of Deposited Securities and, as a result, securities or other property have been or will be delivered in exchange, conversion, replacement or in lieu of, Deposited Securities (a "**Replacement**"), the Depositary shall, if required, surrender the old Deposited Securities affected by that Replacement of Ordinary Shares and hold, as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, the new securities or other property delivered to it in that Replacement. However, the Depositary may elect to sell those new Deposited Securities if in the opinion of the Depositary it is not lawful or not practical for it to hold those new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement because those new Deposited Securities may not be distributed to Owners without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or for any other reason, at public or private sale, at such places and on such terms as it reasonably deems proper and proceed as if those new Deposited Securities had been Redeemed as described in the Deposit Agreement. A Replacement shall be a Termination Option Event.

**Amendment and Termination**

The form of the Receipts and any provisions of the Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by written agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of Owners or Holders in any respect that they may deem necessary or desirable. Any amendment that would impose or increase any fees or charges (other than taxes and other governmental charges, registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or that would otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Owners, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding American Depositary Shares until the expiration of 30 days after notice of that amendment has been Disseminated to the Owners of outstanding American Depositary Shares. Every Owner and Holder, at the time any amendment so becomes effective, shall be deemed, by continuing to hold American Depositary Shares or any interest therein, to consent and agree to that amendment and to be bound by the Deposit

------

Agreement as amended thereby. Upon the effectiveness of an amendment to the form of Receipt, including a change in the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each American Depositary Share, the Depositary may call for surrender of Receipts to be replaced with new Receipts in the amended form or call for surrender of American Depositary Shares to effect that change of ratio. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Owner to surrender American Depositary Shares and receive delivery of the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplementation of the Deposit Agreement and the Receipts to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the Receipts at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Owners or within any other period of time as required for compliance with such laws, rules or regulations.

The Company may initiate termination of the Deposit Agreement by notice to the Depositary. The Depositary may initiate termination of the Deposit Agreement if (i) at any time 60 days shall have expired after the Depositary delivered to the Company a written resignation notice and a successor depositary has not been appointed and accepted its appointment as provided in Section 5.4 of the Deposit Agreement, (ii) an Insolvency Event or Delisting Event occurs with respect to the Company or (iii) a Termination Option Event has occurred. If termination of the Deposit Agreement is initiated, the Depositary shall Disseminate a notice of termination to the Owners of all American Depositary Shares then outstanding setting a date for termination (the "**Termination Date**"), which shall be at least 90 days after the date of that notice, and the Deposit Agreement shall terminate on that Termination Date.

After the Termination Date, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary under Sections 5.8, 5.9 and 7.6 of the Deposit Agreement.

At any time after the Termination Date, the Depositary may sell the Deposited Securities then held under the Deposit Agreement and may thereafter hold uninvested the net proceeds of any such sale, together with any other cash then held by it hereunder, unsegregated and without liability for interest, for the pro rata benefit of the Owners of American Depositary Shares that remain outstanding, and those Owners will be general creditors of the Depositary with respect to those net proceeds and that other cash. After making that sale, the Depositary shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement, except (i) to account for the net proceeds and other cash (after deducting, in each case, the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of such American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges) and (ii) for its obligations under Section 5.8 of the Deposit Agreement and (iii) to act as provided below.

After the Termination Date, the Depositary shall continue to receive dividends and other distributions pertaining to Deposited Securities (that have not been sold), may sell rights and other property as provided in the Deposit Agreement and shall deliver Deposited Securities (or sale proceeds) upon surrender of American Depositary Shares (after payment or upon deduction, in each case, of the fee of the Depositary for the surrender of American Depositary Shares, any expenses for the account of the Owner of those American Depositary Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and any applicable taxes or governmental charges). After the Termination Date, the Depositary shall not accept deposits of Ordinary Shares or deliver American Depositary Shares. After the Termination Date, (i) the Depositary may refuse to accept surrenders of American Depositary Shares for the purpose of withdrawal of Deposited Securities (that have not been sold) if in its judgment the requested withdrawal would interfere with its efforts to sell the Deposited Securities, (ii) the Depositary will not be required to deliver cash proceeds of the sale of Deposited Securities until all Deposited Securities have been sold and (iii) the Depositary may discontinue the registration of transfers of American Depositary Shares and suspend the distribution of dividends and other distributions on Deposited Securities to the Owners and need not give any further notices or perform any further acts under the Deposit Agreement except as otherwise provided in the Deposit Agreement.

**Books of Depositary and List of Owners**

The Depositary shall make available for inspection by Owners at its Office any reports, notices and other communications, including any proxy solicitation material, received from the Company which are both (a) received by the Depositary as the holder of the Deposited Securities and (b) made generally available to the holders of those Deposited Securities by the Company. The Company shall furnish reports and communications, including any proxy soliciting material to which this Section applies, to the Depositary in English, to the extent those materials are required to be translated into English pursuant to any regulations of the Commission.

Upon written request by the Company, the Depositary shall, as promptly as practicable, at the expense of the Company, furnish to it a list, as of a recent date, of the names, addresses and American Depositary Share holdings of all Owners, as such information is reflected in the Depositary's records.

------

**Limitations on Delivery, Transfer and Surrender**

As a condition precedent to the delivery, registration of transfer or surrender of any American Depositary Shares or split-up or combination of any Receipt or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, Custodian or Registrar may require payment from the depositor of Ordinary Shares or the presenter of the Receipt or instruction for registration of transfer or surrender of American Depositary Shares not evidenced by a Receipt of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge and any stock transfer or registration fee with respect thereto (including any such tax or charge and fee with respect to Ordinary Shares being deposited or withdrawn) and payment of any applicable fees as provided in the Deposit Agreement, may require the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with any regulations the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.6 of the Deposit Agreement.

The delivery of American Depositary Shares against deposit of Ordinary Shares generally or against deposit of particular Ordinary Shares may be suspended, or the registration of transfer of American Depositary Shares in particular instances may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding American Depositary Shares generally may be suspended, during any period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary or the Company at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Deposit Agreement, the surrender of outstanding American Depositary Shares and withdrawal of Deposited Securities may not be suspended, subject only to (i) temporary delays caused by closing of the transfer books of the Depositary or the Company or the Foreign Registrar, if applicable, or the deposit of Ordinary Shares in connection with voting at a shareholders' meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the American Depositary Shares or to the withdrawal of the Deposited Securities.

The Depositary shall not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Ordinary Shares that, at the time of deposit, are Restricted Securities.

The Depositary shall notify the Company, as promptly as practicable, of any suspension or refusal under Section 2.6 of the Deposit Agreement that is outside the ordinary course of business.

**Limitations on Liability**

Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Holder of American Depositary Shares, but only to the Owner.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall incur any liability to any Owner or Holder (i) if by reason of any provision of any present or future law or regulation of the United States, Switzerland or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or stock exchange, or by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Articles of Association or similar document of the Company, or by reason of any provision of any securities issued or distributed by the Company, or any offering or distribution thereof, or by reason of any act of God or war or terrorism or other circumstances beyond its control, the Depositary or the Company is prevented from, forbidden to or delayed in, or could be subject to any civil or criminal penalty on account of doing or performing and therefore does not do or perform, any act or thing that, by the terms of the Deposit Agreement or the Deposited Securities, it is provided shall be done or performed, (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in the Deposit Agreement (including any determination by the Depositary to take, or not take, any action that the Deposit Agreement provides the Depositary may take), (iii) for the inability of any Owner or Holder to benefit from any distribution, offering, right or other benefit that is made available to holders of Deposited Securities but is not, under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, made available to Owners or Holders, or (iv) for any special, consequential or punitive damages for any breach of the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Where, by the terms of a distribution to which Section 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 of the Deposit Agreement applies, or an offering to which Section 4.4 of the Deposit Agreement applies, or for any other reason, that distribution or offering may not be made available to Owners, and the Depositary may not dispose of that distribution or offering on behalf of Owners and make the net proceeds available to Owners, then the Depositary shall not make that distribution or offering available to Owners, and shall allow any rights, if applicable, to lapse.

Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates assumes any obligation nor shall it or any of them be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Holder, except that the Company agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

------

Neither the Depositary nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates assumes any obligation nor shall it or any of them be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any Owner or Holder (including, without limitation, liability with respect to the validity or worth of the Deposited Securities), except that the Depositary agrees to perform its obligations specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement without negligence or bad faith.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or in respect of the American Depositary Shares on behalf of any Owner or Holder or any other person.

Each of the Depositary and the Company and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates may rely, and shall be protected in relying upon, any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it or them to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Neither the Depositary nor the Company nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for any action or non-action by it or them in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Ordinary Shares for deposit, any Owner or any other person believed by it or them in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.

The Depositary shall not be liable for any acts or omissions made by a successor depositary whether in connection with a previous act or omission of the Depositary or in connection with any matter arising wholly after the removal or resignation of the Depositary, provided that in connection with the issue out of which such potential liability arises the Depositary performed its obligations without negligence or bad faith while it acted as Depositary.

The Depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system in connection with or arising out of book-entry settlement of American Depositary Shares or Deposited Securities or otherwise.

In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the Deposited Securities, or for the manner in which any such vote is cast or the effect of any such vote.

The Depositary shall have no duty to make any determination or provide any information as to the tax status of the Company or any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by Owners or Holders as a result of owning or holding American Depositary Shares.

No disclaimer of liability under the Securities Act of 1933 is intended by any provision of the Deposit Agreement.

EXCHANGE-TRADED NOTES

The following description of Credit Suisse AG's Exchange-Traded Notes (the "**ETNs**") is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the senior indenture, dated March 29, 2007, between Credit Suisse AG (formerly Credit Suisse) and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as the Bank of New York) (the "**Trustee**") (as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the "**Indenture**"), which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 20-F of which this Exhibit 2.2 is a part and (ii) each of the notes or supplemental indentures to the Indenture under which each ETN was issued, each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Form 8-A filed for such ETN. We encourage you to read the Indenture together with the relevant notes, supplemental indentures and pricing supplements for each ETN.

The ETNs are part of a series of debt securities entitled "Senior Medium-Term Notes" (the "**Medium-Term Notes**") that may be issued under the Indenture from time to time. The ETNs are senior, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer. There is no limitation on the aggregate principal amount of securities which may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, and such securities shall rank equally and pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Issuer, including the ETNs.

Unless otherwise specified, references to "holders" in this section mean those who own the ETNs registered in their own names, on the books that we or the Trustee, or any successor Trustee, as applicable, maintain for this purpose, and not those who own beneficial interests in the ETNs registered in street name or in the ETNs issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company ("**DTC**") or another depositary.

References to "we," "us" or "our" refer to the Issuer.

**Description of Credit Suisse S&P MLP Index Exchange Traded Notes due December 4, 2034 Linked to the S&P MLP Index**

*Defined terms used within this subsection are defined only with respect to the ETNs listed in the subsection heading above and described within this subsection.*

**General**

The return on the Credit Suisse S&P MLP Index Exchange Traded Notes due December 4, 2034 (the "**ETNs**") will be based on the price return version of the S&P MLP Index (the "**Index**"), as reflected by their Indicative Value, calculated as set forth below. The Index includes both master limited partnerships ("**MLPs**") and limited liability companies ("**LLCs**"), which have a similar legal structure to MLPs and share the same tax characteristics as MLPs (collectively, the "**Index Constituents**"), that trade on major U.S. exchanges. The Index Constituents are classified in the GICS<sup>®</sup> Energy Sector and GICS<sup>®</sup> Gas Utilities Industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard<sup>®</sup> ("**GICS**"). The Index is subject to the policies of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the "**Index Sponsor**") and is subject to the Index Sponsor's discretion, including with respect to the implementation of, and changes to, the rules governing the Index methodology.

**Inception, Issuance and Maturity**

The "**Inception Date**" of the ETNs is December 2, 2014. The "**Initial Settlement Date**" of the ETNs is December 5, 2014. The scheduled "**Maturity Date**" is initially December 4, 2034, but the maturity of the ETNs may be extended at our option for up to two additional five-year periods.

------

**Intraday Indicative Value** 

The "**Intraday Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is designed to reflect the economic value of the ETNs at a given time. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be calculated and published by the IV Calculation Agent every fifteen (15) seconds on each Trading Day during normal trading hours under the Bloomberg ticker symbol "MLPOIV" and under the Yahoo! Finance ticker symbol "^MLPO-IV" so long as no Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape or other major market data vendor. The Intraday Indicative Value at any time is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index. It is calculated using the same formula as the Closing Indicative Value, except that instead of using the Closing Level of the Index, the calculation is based on the most recent reported level of the Index at the particular time (or, if the day on which such time occurs is not a Trading Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent).

At any time at which a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no Intraday Indicative Value. If the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero.

Neither the Intraday Indicative Value nor the Closing Indicative Value calculation is intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption, a call or termination of a holder's ETNs, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity or bid-offer spreads. The NYSE Arca is responsible for computing and disseminating the ETN's Indicative Values. Published levels of the Index from the Index Sponsor may occasionally be subject to delay or postponement. Any such delays or postponements will affect the current level of the Index and therefore the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The actual trading price of the ETNs may be different from their Intraday Indicative Value or Closing Indicative Value.

The actual trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Intraday Indicative Value at such time. The trading prices of the ETNs at any time is the price that holders may be able to sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists.

The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which holders may be able to sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. In the absence of an active secondary market for the ETNs, the last reported trading price may not reflect the actual price at which holders may be able to sell their ETNs at a particular time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Intraday Indicative Value of and the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time due to, among other things, imbalances of supply and demand, lack of liquidity, transaction costs, credit considerations and bid-offer spreads. The closing price of the ETNs will be published on each Trading Day under the ticker symbol "MLPO". Any premium or discount may be reduced or eliminated at any time. Paying a premium purchase price of the ETNs over the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event holders sell their ETNs at a time when such premium has declined or is no longer present in the market place or at maturity or upon early redemption or upon a call of the ETNs, in which case holders will receive a cash payment based on the Closing Indicative Value on the relevant Valuation Date(s).

The ETNs may be redeemed or called, subject to the conditions described herein.

As discussed in "Payment Upon Early Redemption" below, holders may, subject to certain restrictions, provide a Redemption Notice on any Business Day during the term of the ETNs, starting on the Business Day following the Inception Date until November 21, 2034 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended).

Holders must offer for early redemption at least 10,000 ETNs at one time in order to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs on any Redemption Settlement Date (the "**Minimum Redemption Amount**"). We reduced the Minimum Redemption Amount from 50,000 to 10,000 ETNs on December 6, 2022. We or CSSU may, at any time and in our sole discretion, make further modifications to the Minimum Redemption Amount, including, among others, to reinstate the minimum redemption amount of 50,000 ETNs for all redemption dates after such further modification. Any such modification will be applied on a consistent basis for all holders of the ETNs at the time the modification becomes effective. If the ETNs undergo a split or reverse split, the minimum number of ETNs needed to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs will remain the same.

If the number of ETNs being redeemed is less than the Redemption Liquidity Threshold (a "**Small Redemption**"), the "**Redemption Settlement Amount**" will be a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (a) zero and (b) (1) the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Redemption Valuation Date, minus (2) the Redemption Fee Amount.

If the number of ETNs being redeemed is equal to or greater than the Redemption Liquidity Threshold (a "**Large Redemption**"), the Redemption Settlement Amount will be a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (a) zero and (b) (1) the arithmetic average,

------

as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values during the Redemption Valuation Period, minus (2) the Redemption Fee Amount.

A holder may exercise its early redemption right by causing its broker or other person with whom it holds its ETNs to deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined herein) to Credit Suisse.

In the case of a Small Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Small Redemption Valuation Date**". If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the Small Redemption Valuation Date will be the second following Trading Day.

In the case of a Large Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period. If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period will be the second following Trading Day. In either case, the Large Redemption Valuation Date will be the last day of the Redemption Valuation Period.

We have the right to call the ETNs in whole or in part on any Trading Day during the term of the ETNs by providing notice to holders of the ETNs starting on the Trading Day following the Inception Date until the twentieth (20th) calendar day preceding the Maturity Date (the "**Call Notice**"). We will provide notice at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the Call Settlement Date. Upon exercise of our call right, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Call Settlement Amount, which will be calculated as described herein and paid on the third Business Day following the Call Valuation Date specified in the Call Notice (the "**Call Settlement Date**"). If the amount so calculated is less than zero, the payment upon exercise of the call right will be zero. Unless the scheduled Call Settlement Date is postponed because it is not a Business Day or because there is a Market Disruption Event on the scheduled Call Valuation Date, the final day on which we can issue a Call Notice will be November 14, 2034 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, twenty (20) calendar days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended).

**Indicative Value**

The "**Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs, as applicable.

**Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs**

We or the Calculation Agent may initiate a split or reverse split of the ETNs on any Trading Day. If we or the Calculation Agent decides to initiate a split or reverse split, we will issue a notice to holders of the ETNs and a press release announcing the split or reverse split, specifying the effective date of the split or reverse split. The Calculation Agent will determine the ratio of such split or reverse split, as the case may be, using relevant market indicia, and will adjust the terms of the ETNs accordingly. Any adjustment of the closing value will be rounded to 8 decimal places.

In the case of a reverse split, we reserve the right to address odd numbers of ETNs (commonly referred to as "partials") in a manner determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. A split or reverse split of the ETNs will not affect the aggregate Stated Principal Amount of ETNs held by an investor, other than to the extent of any "partial" ETNs, but it will affect the number of ETNs an investor holds, the denominations used for trading purposes on the exchange and the trading price, and may affect the liquidity, of the ETNs on the exchange.

**Coupon**

On each Coupon Payment Date, for each ETN a holder holds on the applicable Coupon Record Date, such holder will be entitled to receive a cash payment on the applicable Coupon Payment Date equal to (a) the Reference Distribution Amount minus the Accrued Investor Fee, each calculated as of the corresponding Coupon Valuation Date (the "**Coupon Amount**"). The final Coupon Amount will be included in the Payment at Maturity if, on the Final Valuation Date, the Coupon Ex-Date with respect to the final Coupon Amount has not yet occurred. The Coupon Amount will be paid on the Coupon Payment Date to the holder of an ETN as of the applicable Coupon Record Date.

To the extent the Reference Distribution Amount on a Coupon Valuation Date is less than the Accrued Investor Fee on the corresponding Coupon Valuation Date, there will be no Coupon Amount due or payable on the corresponding Coupon Payment Date, and an amount equal to the Accrued Investor Fee minus the Reference Distribution Amount (the "**Fee Shortfall**") will be included

------

in the Accrued Investor Fee for the next Coupon Valuation Date. This process will be repeated to the extent necessary until the Reference Distribution Amount for a Coupon Valuation Date is greater than the Accrued Investor Fee for the corresponding Coupon Valuation Date. If there is a Fee Shortfall as of the last Coupon Valuation Date, that amount will be reflected in the Payment at Maturity.

**Denomination**

The denomination and the Stated Principal Amount of each ETN is $25.00. ETNs may be issued at a price higher or lower than the Stated Principal Amount, based on the Indicative Value of the ETNs at that time.

**Payment at Maturity**

If the ETNs have not previously been redeemed or called, on the Maturity Date holders will be entitled to receive for each ETN a cash payment equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values during the five consecutive Trading Days to and including the Final Valuation Date (the "**Final Valuation Period**"). The "**Final Valuation Date**" is November 29, 2034, subject to postponement if such date is not a Trading Day, or in the event of a Market Disruption Event or an extension of the Maturity Date as described herein. Any Fee Shortfall as of the last Coupon Valuation Date will be reflected in the Payment at Maturity. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. In no event will the Payment at Maturity be less than zero.

If not previously redeemed or called, the ETNs will mature on December 4, 2034, subject to postponement if such date is not a Business Day, in the event of a Market Disruption Event or an extension of the Maturity Date at our option for up to two additional five-year periods. We may only extend the scheduled Maturity Date for five years at a time. If we exercise our option to extend the maturity of the ETNs, we will notify DTC (the holder of the global note for the ETNs) and the trustee at least 45 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the then-scheduled Maturity Date. We will provide such notice to DTC and the trustee in respect of each five-year extension of the scheduled Maturity Date that we choose to effect.

If the scheduled Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be postponed to the first Business Day following the scheduled Maturity Date. If the scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the next following Trading Day, in which case the Maturity Date will be postponed to the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date as so postponed. In addition, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on any Trading Day during the Final Valuation Period, the Maturity Date will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed. No interest or additional payment will accrue or be payable as a result of any postponement of the Maturity Date. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

**Maturity Date**

If the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be the next following business day. If the third Business Day before this day does not qualify as a Valuation Date (as described above), then the Maturity Date will be the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date. The Calculation Agent may postpone the Final Valuation Date—and therefore the Maturity Date—if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on a day that would otherwise be the Final Valuation Date.

In the event that Payment at Maturity is deferred beyond the stated Maturity Date, penalty interest will not accrue or be payable with respect to that deferred payment.

If the Closing Indicative Value is zero, the Payment at Maturity will be zero.

The "**Closing Indicative Value**" for the ETNs on the Inception Date was equal to the Stated Principal Amount. The Closing Indicative Value on any Trading Day after the Inception Date will be calculated by the NYSE Arca and be equal to (a) the product of the Stated Principal Amount and the Index Factor as of such Trading Day plus (b) the Coupon Amount, if any, with respect to the most recent Coupon Valuation Date on or before the current Trading Day if on such Trading Day the Coupon Ex-Date with respect to such Coupon Amount has not yet occurred, plus (c) the Stub Coupon Amount as of such Trading Day, if any, minus (d) the Accrued Investor Fee as of such Trading Day. In no event, however, will the Closing Indicative Value be less than zero. Even if the Closing Indicative Value or Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time, the trading price of the ETNs may remain above zero. Buying the ETNs at such a time will lead to a complete loss of a holder's investment.

The "**Index Factor**" on any Trading Day, including the Final Valuation Date, will be equal to the Closing Level of the Index on that day divided by the Initial Index Level. The Closing Level of the Index on any Trading Day will be determined by the Index Sponsor and published on the Bloomberg page "SPMLP " or any successor page on Bloomberg or any successor service, as applicable.

If the ETNs undergo a split or reverse split, the Stated Principal Amount, Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly. Neither the Closing Indicative Value nor the Intraday Indicative Value is the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time.

The Closing Indicative Value will never be less than zero. If the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time, the Closing Indicative Value on that day, and all future days, will be zero. The Closing Indicative Value for each Trading Day will be published on such Trading Day under the Bloomberg ticker symbol "MLPOIV". The NYSE Arca is responsible for computing and disseminating the Closing Indicative Value.

The "**Closing Level**" of the Index on any Trading Day will be the closing level published on Bloomberg under the ticker symbol "SPMLP " or any successor page on Bloomberg or any successor service, as applicable; provided that if such day is not a Trading Day, the Closing Level of the Index will be deemed to be the Closing Level as of the immediately preceding Trading Day; provided further that in the event a Market Disruption Event exists on a Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index according to the methodology described below in "Market Disruption Events."

The "**Annual Investor Fee Rate**" will be equal to 0.95% per annum.

On any Trading Day, including the Final Valuation Date, the "**Accrued Investor Fee**" will be equal to (a) (i) the Annual Investor Fee Rate times (ii) the number of days in the period commencing on, but excluding, the previous Coupon Valuation Date (or, with respect to the first Coupon Period, commencing on but excluding the Inception Date) to, and including, such Trading Day, divided by 365 times by (iii) Stated Principal Amount times (iv) the Index Factor as of such Trading Day, plus (b) the Fee Shortfall from the previous Coupon Valuation Date, if any.

There will be a Fee Shortfall from the previous Coupon Valuation Date if the Reference Distribution Amount on such previous Coupon Valuation Date minus the Accrued Investor Fee on such previous Coupon Valuation Date was negative. In such case, the Fee Shortfall is equal to the absolute value of such negative number.

The Accrued Investor Fee reduces the Coupon Amount and may reduce the amount of a holder's return at maturity, upon early redemption or upon a call. If the Coupon Amounts (reduced by the Accrued Investor Fee, which includes any applicable Fee Shortfall) and the performance of the Index are not sufficient to offset the applicable fees built into the calculation of the Payment at Maturity, the Redemption Settlement Amount and the Call Settlement Amount, as the case may be, a holder will receive less, and possibly significantly less, at maturity or upon early redemption or upon a call of the ETNs than the amount of such holder's investment.

The "**Intraday Indicative Value**" of the ETNs will be calculated and published by the IV Calculation Agent every 15 seconds on each Trading Day during normal trading hours under the Bloomberg ticker symbol "MLPOIV" and under the Yahoo! Finance ticker symbol "^MLPO-IV" so long as no Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape or other major market data vendor. The Intraday Indicative Value at any time is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index. It is calculated using the same formula as the Closing Indicative Value, except that instead of using the Closing Level of the Index, the calculation is based on the most recent reported level of the Index at the particular time (or, if the day on which such time occurs is not a Trading Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent). If the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value on that day, and all future days, will be zero.

We have appointed the NYSE Arca as the "**IV Calculation Agent**" to calculate the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. We may, at any time, vary or terminate the appointment of the IV Calculation Agent and appoint a replacement IV Calculation Agent.

A "**Business Day**" is any Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

A "**Trading Day**" is day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE Arca, Nasdaq and any other exchange which the Index Constituents are traded and published.

------

The "**Index**" means the price return version of the S&P MLP Index. The Index includes both master limited partnerships ("**MLPs**") and limited liability companies ("**LLCs**"), which have a similar legal structure to MLPs and share the same tax characteristics as MLPs (collectively, the "**Index Constituents**"), that trade on major U.S. exchanges. The Index Constituents are classified in the GICS<sup>®</sup> Energy Sector and GICS<sup>®</sup> Gas Utilities Industry according to the Global Industry Classification Standard<sup>®</sup> ("**GICS**").

The ETNs do not guarantee any return of a holder's investment. If the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the Accrued Investor Fee reflected in the Closing Indicative Value of the ETN, a holder will receive less, and possibly significantly less, at maturity or upon early redemption or upon a call of the ETNs than the amount of such holder's investment. Any payment holders will be entitled to receive is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

**Payment Upon Early Redemption**

Prior to maturity, holders may, subject to certain restrictions described below, offer at least the applicable minimum number (the "**Minimum Redemption Amount**") of ETNs to us for early redemption by delivering to us a redemption notice (the "**Redemption Notice**"). The minimum redemption amount will be equal to 10,000 ETNs, except that we or CSSU may from time to time reduce, in part or in whole, the minimum redemption amount. Any such reduction will be applied on a consistent basis for all holders of the ETNs at the time such reduction becomes effective. If the ETNs undergo a split or reverse split, the minimum number of ETNs needed to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs will remain the same.

If a holder elects to offer its ETNs for early redemption and the requirements for acceptance by us are met, such holder will receive on the Redemption Settlement Date a cash payment in an amount equal to the Redemption Settlement Amount for each ETN such holder holds. Investors will be charged the applicable Redemption Fee Amount for ETNs redeemed at such holder's option. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

A holder may provide a Redemption Notice on any Business Day during the term of the ETNs, starting on the Business Day following the Inception Date until November 21, 2034 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended).

If the number of ETNs being redeemed is less than the Redemption Liquidity Threshold (a "**Small Redemption**"), the Redemption Settlement Amount will be a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (a) zero and (b) (1) the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Small Redemption Valuation Date, minus (2) the Redemption Fee Amount.

If the number of ETNs being redeemed is equal to or greater than the Redemption Liquidity Threshold (a "**Large Redemption**"), the Redemption Settlement Amount will be a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (a) zero and (b) (1) the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values during the Redemption Valuation Period, minus (2) the Redemption Fee Amount.

A holder may exercise its early redemption right by causing its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs to deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined herein) to Credit Suisse.

In the case of a Small Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Small Redemption Valuation Date**". If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the Small Redemption Valuation Date will be the second following Trading Day.

In the case of a Large Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period. If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period will be the second following Trading Day. In either case, the Large Redemption Valuation Date will be the last day of the Redemption Valuation Period.

When a holder submits its ETNs for redemption in accordance with the redemption procedures described herein, its ETNs may remain outstanding (and be resold by us or an affiliate) or may be submitted by us for cancellation.

The "**Redemption Settlement Date**" will be the third Business Day following a Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Redemption Valuation Period**" for Large Redemptions will be a period of five consecutive Trading Days to, and including, the Large Redemption Valuation Date.

------

In the case of a Small Redemption, the Redemption Fee Amount will be equal to the product of (1) the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on the applicable Trading Day times (2) 0.10%.

In the case of a Large Redemption, the Redemption Fee Amount will be equal to the product of (1) the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of the ETNs during the Redemption Valuation Period, times (2) 0.10%.

The "**Redemption Liquidity Threshold**" will be equal to 1,000,000 ETNs.

**Procedures for Early Redemption**

If a holder wishes to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for early redemption, such holder's broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs must follow the following procedures:

■ Deliver a notice of early redemption (the "**Redemption Notice**"), to Credit Suisse via email or other electronic delivery as requested by Credit Suisse. In the case of a Small Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Small Redemption Valuation Date**". If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the Small Redemption Valuation Date will be the second following Trading Day. In the case of a Large Redemption, and where the Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period. If the Redemption Notice is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m. New York City time, the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period will be the second following Trading Day. In either case, the Large Redemption Valuation Date will be the last day of the Redemption Valuation Period Credit Suisse or its affiliate must acknowledge to a holder's broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs acceptance of the Redemption Notice in order for such holder's early redemption request to be effective;

■ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credit Suisse may, at its option, waive the requirement that the Redemption Notice be delivered as set forth above, if confirmed by Credit Suisse that a written indication of an offer for early redemption has otherwise been accepted by Credit Suisse. Any such written indication that is delivered at or after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, will be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder may choose to comply with the procedures set forth above in lieu of the procedures in this clause, irrespective of any waiver by Credit Suisse;

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the ETNs on the applicable Redemption Valuation Date at a price equal to the applicable Redemption Settlement Amount, facing us; and

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the applicable Redemption Date (the third Business Day following the Redemption Valuation Date).

The holder is responsible for (i) instructing or otherwise causing its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs to provide the Redemption Notice (unless otherwise waived by Credit Suisse as set forth above) and (ii) its broker satisfying the additional requirements as set forth in the second and third bullets above in order for the early redemption to be effected. Different brokerage firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, a holder should consult the brokerage firm through which it owns its interest in the ETNs in respect of such deadlines. If Credit Suisse does not (i) receive the Redemption Notice from the holder's broker prior to 4:00 p.m. and (ii) deliver an acknowledgment of such Redemption Notice to such broker accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., on the Business Day prior to the applicable Redemption Valuation Date or the first day of the Redemption Valuation Period, as the case may be, such notice will not be effective for such Business Day and Credit Suisse will treat such Redemption Notice as if it was received on the next Business Day. Any redemption instructions for which Credit Suisse receives a valid confirmation in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable after Credit Suisse confirms a holder's offer for early redemption.

Because the Redemption Settlement Amount a holder will receive for each ETN will not be determined until the close of trading on the applicable Redemption Valuation Date, a holder will not know the applicable Redemption Settlement Amount at the time such holder exercises its redemption right and will bear the risk that its ETNs will decline in value between the time of such holder's exercise and the time at which the Redemption Settlement Amount is determined.

**Issuer Call Right**

We have the right to call the ETNs in whole or in part on any Trading Day during the term of the ETNs by providing notice to holders of the ETNs starting on the Trading Day following the Inception Date until the twentieth (20th) calendar day preceding the Maturity Date (the "**Call Notice**"). We will provide notice at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the Call Settlement Date.

------

Upon exercise of our call right, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Call Settlement Amount, which will be calculated as described herein and paid on the third Business Day following the Call Valuation Date specified in the Call Notice (the "**Call Settlement Date**"). If the amount so calculated is less than zero, the payment upon exercise of the call right will be zero.

Unless the scheduled Call Settlement Date is postponed because it is not a Business Day or because there is a Market Disruption Event on the scheduled Call Valuation Date, the final day on which we can issue a Call Notice will be November 14, 2034 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, twenty (20) calendar days prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended).

**Market Disruption Events** 

As set forth under "Payment at Maturity", "Payment Upon Early Redemption" and "Issuer Call Right" above, the Index Sponsor will determine the Closing Level of the Index on each Valuation Date, including the Final Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to the Index and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any event described below and its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent manifest error.

A "**Market Disruption Event**" means the occurrence or existence on any scheduled Trading Day during the one-half hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, of any suspension of or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise) on:

(a) an exchange on which securities that comprise 20% or more of the level of the Index (or a Successor Index) are traded based on a comparison of (1) the portion of the level of the Index (or a Successor Index) attributable to each Index Constituent comprising the Index (or a Successor Index) in which trading is, in the determination of the Calculation Agent, materially suspended or materially limited relative to (2) the overall level of the Index (or a Successor Index), in the case of (1) or (2) immediately before that suspension or limitation;

(b) a Related Exchange in options contracts on the Index (or a Successor Index); or

(c) a Related Exchange in futures contracts on the Index (or a Successor Index); and

in the case of (a), (b) or (c) a determination by the Calculation Agent that such suspension or limitation is material.

"**Related Exchange**" means any exchange on which futures or options contracts relating to the Index are traded and any successor to such exchange or any substitute exchange to which trading in futures or options contracts relating to the Index has temporarily relocated.

"**Exchange**" means the principal exchange on which the relevant security is traded.

"**Valuation Time**" means the time at which the Index Sponsor calculates the Closing Level of the Index on any Trading Day.

A Valuation Date will be postponed and thus the determination of the Closing Level of the Index will be postponed if the Calculation Agent reasonably determines that, on such Valuation Date, a Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing. In such case, that Valuation Date will be postponed to the next Trading Day on which the Calculation Agent determines that no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing, unless in respect of such Valuation Date the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on each of the six scheduled Trading Days immediately following the scheduled Valuation Date. In that case, (a) the sixth scheduled Trading Day following the scheduled Valuation Date will be deemed to be the Valuation Date, notwithstanding the Market Disruption Event, and (b) the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level for the Index on that deemed Valuation Date in accordance with the formula for and method of calculating the Index last in effect prior to the commencement of the Market Disruption Event using exchange traded prices of the Index Constituents on the relevant exchanges (as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) or, if trading in any Index Constituent has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the prices that would have prevailed on the exchanges (as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) but for the suspension or limitation, as of the Valuation Time on that deemed Valuation Date, of each Index Constituent (subject to the provisions described under "Discontinuation or Modification of the Index" herein). Any such postponement or determinations by the Calculation Agent may adversely affect the return on the ETNs. In addition, no interest or other payment will be payable as a result of such postponement.

If a scheduled Valuation Date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event, the corresponding Redemption Settlement Date or the corresponding Call Settlement Date will also be postponed so that such Redemption Settlement Date or such Call Settlement Date, respectively, occurs on the third Business Day following the Valuation Date as postponed. If a scheduled Coupon Valuation Date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event the corresponding Coupon Payment Date will also be postponed so that such Coupon

------

Payment Date occurs on the fifteenth Business Day following the Coupon Valuation Date as postponed. If the Final Valuation Date is postponed due to a Market Disruption Event, the Maturity Date will also be postponed so that the Maturity Date occurs on the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date as postponed.

**Default Amount on Acceleration**

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our senior medium-term notes, of which the ETNs are a part, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the Stated Principal Amount of each ETN outstanding as the principal amount of that ETN. Although the terms of the ETNs may differ from those of the other senior medium-term notes, holders of specified percentages in principal amount of all senior medium-term notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt securities, will be able to take action affecting all the senior medium-term notes, including the ETNs. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the senior medium-term notes, accelerating the maturity of the senior medium-term notes after a default or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture.

In case an event of default with respect to ETNs shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the ETNs will be determined by CSi, as the Calculation Agent, and will equal, for each ETN that a holder then holds, the Closing Indicative Value determined by the Calculation Agent occurring on the Trading Day following the date on which the ETNs were declared due and payable.

**Further Issuances**

We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the ETNs, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions as the ETNs, and ranking on an equal basis with the ETNs in all respects.

**Discontinuation or Modification of the Index**

If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Index and the Index Sponsor or anyone else publishes a substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the Index, then the Calculation Agent will permanently replace the original Index with that substitute index (the "**Successor Index**") for all purposes, and all provisions described herein as applying to the Index will thereafter apply to the Successor Index instead. If the Calculation Agent replaces the original Index with a Successor Index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Redemption Settlement Amount, Call Settlement Amount or Payment at Maturity, as applicable, by reference to the Successor Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the publication of the Index is discontinued and there is no Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will determine the level of the Index and thus the applicable Payment Amount, by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines, will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index, the Index Constituents or the method of calculating the Index is changed at any time in any respect, including whether the change is made by the Index Sponsor under its existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a Successor Index, is due to events affecting the Index Constituents or is due to any other reason and is not otherwise reflected in the level of the Index by the Index Sponsor pursuant to the Index methodology, then the Calculation Agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments in the Index or the method of its calculation as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the Closing Level of the Index used to determine the Redemption Settlement Amount, Call Settlement Amount or Payment at Maturity is equitable.

**Manner of Payment and Delivery**

Any payment on or delivery of the ETNs at maturity will be made to accounts designated by holders and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City, but only when the ETNs are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

**Role of CSi**

Credit Suisse International ("**CSi**"), an affiliate of ours and the Calculation Agent, will, in its reasonable discretion, make certain calculations and determinations that may impact the value of the ETNs, including determination of the arithmetic average of the Closing Indicative Values where applicable, Redemption Valuation Dates, Trading Days, a split or reverse split of the ETNs, calculation of

------

default amounts, Market Disruption Events and any Successor Index and any other calculations or determinations to be made by the Calculation Agent as specified herein.

If the Calculation Agent ceases to perform its role, we will either, at our sole discretion, perform such role, appoint another party to do so or call the ETNs.

We may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

**Description of Credit Suisse X-Links<sup>®</sup> Gold Shares Covered Call ETNs due February 2, 2033**

*Defined terms used within this subsection are defined only with respect to the ETNs listed in the subsection heading above and described within this subsection.*

**General**

The return on the X-Links<sup>®</sup> Gold Shares Covered Call ETNs due February 2, 2033 ("**ETNs**") will be based on the performance of the Credit Suisse NASDAQ Gold FLOWS<sup>TM</sup> 103 Index (the "**Index**"), as reflected by their Indicative Value, calculated as set forth below. The Index measures the return of a "covered call" strategy on the shares of the SPDR<sup>®</sup> Gold Trust (the "**GLD Shares**") by reflecting changes in the price of the GLD Shares and the notional option premiums received from the notional sale of monthly call options on the GLD Shares less the Notional Transaction Costs incurred in connection with the implementation of the covered call strategy (the "**Notional Transaction Costs**"). These costs reflect the monthly transaction costs of hypothetically buying and selling the call options and selling the GLD Shares and equal 0.03%, 0.03% and 0.01%, respectively, *times* the closing price of the GLD Shares on the date of such notional transactions and, which, on an annual basis, are approximately equal to 0.84%. The actual cost will vary depending on the value of the GLD Shares on the date of such transactions. The Index strategy consists of a hypothetical notional portfolio that takes a "long" position in GLD Shares and sells a succession of notional, approximately one-month, call options on the GLD Shares with a strike price of approximately 103% of the price of the GLD Shares exercisable on the option expiration date (the "**Options**" and together with the long position in GLD Shares, the "**Index Components**"). The notional sale of the Options is "covered" by the notional long position in the GLD Shares. The long position in the GLD Shares and the "short" call options are held in equal notional amounts (i.e., the short position in each Option is "covered" by the long position in the GLD Shares). This strategy is intended to provide exposure to gold through the notional positions in the GLD Shares and the Options that seeks to (i) generate periodic cash flows that a direct long-only ownership position in the GLD Shares would not, (ii) provide a limited offset to losses from downside market performance in the GLD Shares via the cash flows from option premiums and (iii) provide limited potential upside participation in the performance of the GLD Shares. The level of the Index on any day reflects the value of (i) the notional long position in the GLD Shares; (ii) the notional Option premium; and (iii) the notional short position in the Options then outstanding; and net of the Notional Transaction Costs. The ETNs will not participate in the potential upside of the GLD Shares beyond the applicable strike price of the Options and the Notional Transaction Costs. The Index is subject to the policies of CSi and NASDAQ OMX (the "**Index Sponsors**") and is subject to the Index Sponsors' discretion, including with respect to the implementation of, and changes to, the rules governing the Index methodology.

**Inception, Issuance and Maturity**

The initial issuance of ETNs priced on January 28, 2013 (the "**Inception Date**") and settled on February 1, 2013 (the "**Initial Settlement Date**"). The "**Maturity Date**" is initially February 2, 2033, but the maturity of the ETNs may be extended at our option for up to two additional five-year periods, as described herein.

**Intraday Indicative Value**

The "**Intraday Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is designed to reflect the economic value of the ETNs at a given time. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be calculated and published by the Index Calculation Agent every fifteen (15) seconds on each Trading Day during normal trading hours so long as no Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape or other major market data vendor. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at any time is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index. It is calculated using the same formula as the Closing Indicative Value, except that instead of

------

using the Closing Level of the Index, the calculation is based on the most recent reported level of the Index at the particular time (or, if the day on which such time occurs is not a Trading Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent).

At any time at which a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no Intraday Indicative Value. If the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero.

Neither the Intraday Indicative Value nor the Closing Indicative Value calculation is intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption, acceleration or termination of a holder's ETNs, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity or bid-offer spreads. The Index Calculation Agent is responsible for computing and disseminating the ETN's Indicative Values. Published levels of the Index from the Index Calculation Agent may occasionally be subject to delay or postponement. Any such delays or postponements will affect the current level of the Index and therefore the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The actual trading price of the ETNs may be different from their Intraday Indicative Value or Closing Indicative Value.

The actual trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Intraday Indicative Value at such time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price that holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists.

The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. In the absence of an active secondary market for the ETNs, the last reported trading price may not reflect the actual price at which holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs at a particular time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their Indicative Value at such time due to, among other things, imbalances of supply and demand, lack of liquidity, transaction costs, credit considerations and bid-offer spreads.

The closing price of the ETNs will be published on each Trading Day under the ticker symbol "GLDI". Any premium or discount may be reduced or eliminated at any time. Paying a premium purchase price of the ETNs over the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event holders sell their ETNs at a time when such premium is no longer present in the market place or such ETNs are redeemed by us (including pursuant to an acceleration at our option), in which case holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment based on the Closing Indicative Value on the relevant Valuation Date(s).

The ETNs may be redeemed or accelerated at any time, subject to the conditions described herein.

As discussed in "Payment Upon Early Redemption" below, a holder may, subject to certain restrictions, provide a Redemption Notice on any Business Day during the term of the ETNs beginning on January 29, 2013 through January 21, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended) (for an anticipated January 24, 2033 Early Redemption Valuation Date and an anticipated Early Redemption Date of January 27, 2033 or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, an Early Redemption Valuation Date four (4) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended, and an Early Redemption Date one scheduled Business Day prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). If a holder elects to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, such must offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount at one time for redemption on any Early Redemption Date.

In addition, we have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part at any time on any Business Day occurring on or after the Inception Date or upon the occurrence of certain events described herein. Upon an acceleration of all of the outstanding ETNs, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period. If fewer than all of the outstanding ETNs are accelerated, the Accelerated Redemption Amount will be the Closing Indicative Value on the Accelerated Valuation Date. If less than all the ETNs are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Acceleration or an Event Acceleration, the trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it deems appropriate and fair, the ETNs to be redeemed pursuant to such acceleration. ETNs may be accelerated in part in multiples of 10,000 ETNs, or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof.

The last date on which Credit Suisse will redeem the ETNs at a holder's option will be January 27, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, one scheduled Business Day prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended). As such, holders must offer their ETNs for redemption no later than January 21, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). The daily redemption feature is intended to induce arbitrageurs to counteract any

------

trading of the ETNs at a premium or discount to their Indicative Value, although there can be no assurance that arbitrageurs will employ the redemption feature in this manner.

**Indicative Value**

The "**Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs, as applicable.

**Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs**

The Calculation Agent may initiate a split or reverse split of the ETNs on any Trading Day. If the Calculation Agent decides to initiate a split or reverse split, the Calculation Agent will issue a notice to holders of the ETNs and a press release announcing the split or reverse split, specifying the effective date of the split or reverse split. The Calculation Agent will determine the ratio of such split or reverse split, as the case may be, using relevant market indicia, and will adjust the terms of the ETNs accordingly. Any adjustment of the closing value will be rounded to 8 decimal places.

In the case of a reverse split, we reserve the right to address odd numbers of ETNs (commonly referred to as "partials") in a manner determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. A split or reverse split of the ETNs will not affect the aggregate stated principal amount of ETNs held by an investor, other than to the extent of any "partial" ETNs, but it will affect the number of ETNs an investor holds, the denominations used for trading purposes on the exchange and the trading price, and may affect the liquidity, of the ETNs on the exchange.

If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Current Principal Amount, Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly.

Neither the Closing Indicative Value nor the Intraday Indicative Value is the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time.

Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022.

**Coupon Amount**

On each Coupon Payment Date, for each $400.00 stated principal amount of the ETNs, holders on the Coupon Record Date will be entitled to receive a variable cash payment equal to the Closing Indicative Value on the Index Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Index Distribution Date multiplied by the Coupon Percentage for that Index Distribution Date. The Coupon will be paid on the Coupon Payment Date to the holder of record on the applicable Coupon Record Date. No Coupon Amount will be due or payable in the event a holder elects to offer its ETNs for early redemption or we accelerate the maturity of the ETNs.

The Coupon Percentage in respect of an Index Distribution Date will be the Distribution for such Index Distribution Date divided by the Closing Level of the Index the Index Business Day immediately preceding the Index Distribution Date. The Distribution represents the notional monthly call premium earned on the sale of the call options written on the GLD Shares during the immediately preceding Index Rebalancing Period pursuant to the Index methodology.

The premiums generated from the notional sales of the Options will be subtracted monthly from the Index and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of a Coupon Amount, the amount of which is determined based on the notional premiums received from the sale of the Options during the preceding Rebalancing Period as described below.

The "**Index Rebalancing Period**" refers to the five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days beginning on and including the Index Calculation Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Expiry Date (as defined below) of the relevant Options (each, a "**Roll Date**"). The Index will be rebalanced at the end of each Roll Date in accordance with the following steps:

■ First, on the Index Calculation Day preceding the first Roll Date of each month, the strike price of the new Option is determined. The strike price will be the lowest listed strike price that is above 103% of the price per Share as of the 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such date of determination. Then, the Index will roll its monthly exposure over the next five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days. The roll percentage is the proportion of the expiring position being rolled into a new position on each Roll Date.

■ At the end of the first Roll Date, and on each successive Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will notionally sell the new Option. Additionally, as of the end of each such Roll Date, the Index will hypothetically close out through repurchase 20%

------

(or such greater amount in the event of roll disruptions) of the Options notionally sold during the previous Index Rebalancing Period (the expiring Options); the Index will notionally liquidate GLD Shares Units in an amount sufficient to fund the notional repurchase.

■ Finally, on the last Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will determine the amount of the notional Option premium, which will, on the close of the last Roll Date of the next following Index Rebalancing Period, be subtracted from the Index as a Distribution and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of the Coupon Amount.

An Index Distribution Date will be the date on which the Distribution is subtracted from the level of the Index pursuant to the rules of the Index, which will occur on the last Roll Date of a given Index Rebalancing Period.

The Coupon Amount is calculated by reference to the notional Distribution from the Index, which will decrease the level of the Index (and therefore the value of the ETNs), as the Distribution comes directly from the notional portfolio reflected by the Index Components. When the Distribution is deducted from the Index on the Index Distribution Date, the Coupon Amount will be added to the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. At the market opening on the Ex-Coupon Date, the ETNs will trade on an ex-coupon basis, adjusted for the Coupon Amount, meaning that the Coupon Amount will no longer be included in the Closing Indicative Value or the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. For a holder to receive the upcoming Coupon Amount, the holder must own the ETNs on the Coupon Record Date.

The "**Ex-Coupon Date**" means, with respect to each Coupon Amount, the first Trading Day on which the ETNs trade without the right to receive such Coupon Amount.

**Denomination**

Prior to September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal amount of each ETN was $20.00. Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split of the ETNs, effective September 27, 2022. As of September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal amount of each ETN is $400.00. ETNs may be issued at a price that is higher or lower than the stated principal amount, based on the Indicative Value of the ETNs at that time.

**Payment at Maturity**

At maturity, holders of the ETNs will be entitled to receive a cash payment on February 2, 2033 (the "**Maturity Date**") (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, on the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended) that is equal to the "**Final Indicative Value**", which will be the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Value on each of the immediately preceding five (5) Trading Days to and including the Final Valuation Date (the "**Final Valuation Period**"). We refer to the amount of such payment as the "**Maturity Redemption Amount**". If the scheduled Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be postponed to the first Business Day following the scheduled Maturity Date. If the scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the next following Trading Day, in which case the Maturity Date will be postponed to the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date as so postponed. In addition, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, the Maturity Date will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed. No interest or additional payment will accrue or be payable as a result of any postponement of the Maturity Date. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. In no event will the payment at maturity be less than zero.

The scheduled Maturity Date is initially February 2, 2033, but may be extended at our option for up to two (2) additional five-year periods. We may only extend the scheduled Maturity Date for five (5) years at a time. If we exercise our option to extend the maturity of the ETNs, we will notify DTC (the holder of the global note for the ETNs) and the trustee at least 45 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date. We will provide such notice to DTC and the trustee in respect of each five-year extension of the scheduled Maturity Date that we choose to effect.

If the Final Indicative Value is zero, the Maturity Redemption Amount will be zero.

The "**Closing Indicative Value**" on the Inception Date was $20.00 (the "**Initial Indicative Value**"). The Closing Indicative Value on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be calculated by the Index Calculation Agent and will be equal to (1) the Current Principal Amount for such calendar day *plus* (2) for any day on or after the Index Distribution Date but prior to the Ex-Coupon Date for a given month, any accrued but unpaid Coupon Amount. The Closing Indicative Value will never be less than zero. If the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero. The Closing Indicative Value is not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly

------

from their Indicative Value at such time. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly (see "Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs"). Such adjustment may adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the ETNs. Even if the Closing Indicative Value or Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time, the trading price of the ETNs may remain above zero. Buying the ETNs at such a time will lead to a complete loss of a holder's investment.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. Since September 27, 2022, the Closing Indicative Value has been expressed in an amount per denomination and stated principal amount of $400.00 based on the split-adjusted Current Principal Amount.

The "**Current Principal Amount**" on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be equal to (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day minus (2) the Daily Investor Fee on such calendar day. The Current Principal Amount on the Inception Date was $20.00.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Current Principal Amount on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above. Since September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount has been expressed in an amount per denomination and stated principal amount of $400.00.

A "**Business Day**" is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or London, England generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

A "**Trading Day**" is a day which is (i) an Index Business Day, (ii) an ETN Business Day and (iii) an Index Component Business Day for each of the Index Components.

An "**Index Business Day**" is a day on which the level of the Index is calculated and published.

With respect to any Index Component, an "**Index Component Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on any markets on which such Index Component is traded.

An "**ETN Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca and NASDAQ.

The "**Daily Index Factor**" on any Index Business Day will equal (a) the Closing Level of the Index on such Index Business Day divided by (b) the Closing Level of the Index on the immediately preceding Index Business Day. The Daily Index Factor is deemed to be one on any day that is not an Index Business Day.

On any calendar day, the "**Daily Investor Fee**" will be equal to the product of (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day times (2)(a) the Investor Fee Rate divided by (b) 365. The "Investor Fee Rate" will be equal to 0.65%.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Daily Investor Fee on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above.

The ETNs do not guarantee any return of a holder's investment. If the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the Daily Investor Fee (and in the case of Early Redemption, the Early Redemption Charge) over the term of the ETNs, a holder will receive less, and possibly significantly less, at maturity or upon early redemption or acceleration of the ETNs than the amount of such holder's investment.

The "**Closing Level**" of the Index on any Trading Day will be the Closing Level published on Bloomberg under the ticker symbol "QGLDI " or any successor page on Bloomberg or any successor service, as applicable; provided that in the event a Market Disruption Event exists on a Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index.

Any payment holders will be entitled to receive is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

------

**Payment Upon Early Redemption**

Prior to maturity, holders may, subject to certain restrictions described below, offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount or more of the ETNs to us for redemption on an Early Redemption Date during the term of the ETNs until January 21, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). If a holder elects to offer its ETNs for redemption, and the requirements for acceptance by us are met, such holder will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN on the Early Redemption Date equal to the Early Redemption Amount. Any payment holders will be entitled to receive on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

A holder may exercise its early redemption right by causing its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs to deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined herein) to Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. See "Procedures for Early Redemption".

A holder must offer for redemption at least 10,000 ETNs or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof at one time in order to exercise its right to cause us to redeem its ETNs on any Early Redemption Date (the "**Minimum Redemption Amount**"); provided that we or CSi as the Calculation Agent may from time to time reduce, in part or in whole, the Minimum Redemption Amount. Any such reduction will be applied on a consistent basis for all holders of the ETNs at the time the reduction becomes effective. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the minimum number of ETNs needed to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs will remain the same.

When a holder submits its ETNs for redemption in accordance with the redemption procedures described herein, such ETNs may remain outstanding (and be resold by us or an affiliate) or may be submitted by us for cancellation.

The "**Early Redemption Date**" is the third Business Day following an Early Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Early Redemption Charge**" per ETN will equal 0.125% times the Closing Indicative Value on the Early Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Early Redemption Amount**" is a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (A) zero and (B)(1) the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date minus (2) the Early Redemption Charge, calculated by the Calculation Agent.

**Procedures for Early Redemption**

If a holder wishes to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, such holder's broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs must follow the following procedures:

■ Deliver a notice of redemption (the "**Redemption Notice**"), to Credit Suisse via email or other electronic delivery as requested by Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. If Credit Suisse receives a holder's Redemption Notice no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, Credit Suisse will respond by sending its broker an acknowledgment of the Redemption Notice accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. Credit Suisse or its affiliate must acknowledge to the holder's broker acceptance of the Redemption Notice in order for such redemption request to be effective;

■ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credit Suisse may, at its option, waive the requirement that the Redemption Notice be delivered as set forth above, if confirmed by Credit Suisse that a written indication of an offer for early redemption has otherwise been accepted by Credit Suisse. Any such written indication that is delivered after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, will be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder may choose to comply with the procedures set forth above in lieu of the procedures in this clause, irrespective of any waiver by Credit Suisse;

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the ETNs on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date at a price equal to the applicable Early Redemption Amount, facing us; and

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the applicable Early Redemption Date (the third Business Day following the Early Redemption Valuation Date).

A holder is responsible for (i) instructing or otherwise causing its broker to provide the Redemption Notice and (ii) its broker satisfying the additional requirements as set forth in the second and third bullets above in order for the redemption to be effected. Different

------

brokerage firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, a holder should consult the brokerage firm through which it owns its interest in the ETNs in respect of such deadlines. If Credit Suisse does not (i) receive the Redemption Notice from the relevant holder's broker by 4:00 p.m. and (ii) deliver an acknowledgment of such Redemption Notice to such broker accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, such notice will not be effective for such Business Day and Credit Suisse will treat such Redemption Notice as if it was received on the next Business Day. Any redemption instructions for which Credit Suisse receives a valid confirmation in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable after Credit Suisse confirms a holder's offer for early redemption.

Because the Early Redemption Amount a holder will receive for each ETN will not be determined until the close of trading on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, a holder will not know the applicable Early Redemption Amount at the time such holder exercises its redemption right and will bear the risk that its ETNs will decline in value between the time of such holder's exercise and the time at which the Early Redemption Amount is determined.

**Acceleration at Our Option or Upon an Acceleration Event**

We have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part on any Business Day occurring on or after the Inception Date (an "**Optional Acceleration**"). In addition, if an Acceleration Event (as defined herein) occurs at any time with respect to the ETNs, we will have the right to accelerate all or any portion of the outstanding ETNs (an "**Event Acceleration**"). Upon an acceleration of all of the outstanding ETNs, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period. If fewer than all of the outstanding ETNs are accelerated, the Accelerated Redemption Amount will be the Closing Indicative Value on the Accelerated Valuation Date. If less than all the ETNs are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Acceleration or an Event Acceleration, the trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it deems appropriate and fair, the ETNs to be redeemed pursuant to such acceleration. ETNs may be accelerated in part in multiples of 10,000 ETNs, or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof. We will provide at least five (5) Business Days' notice of any ETNs to be accelerated and, in the case of any ETNs selected for partial redemption, the stated principal amount thereof to be redeemed. All provisions relating to the acceleration of the ETNs to be redeemed only in part, relate to the portion of the stated principal amount of ETNs which has been or is to be redeemed pursuant to these acceleration provisions.

In the case of an Optional Acceleration of all outstanding ETNs, the "**Accelerated Valuation Period**" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days specified in our notice of Optional Acceleration, the first Trading Day of which shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date on which we give notice of such Optional Acceleration. In the case of an Event Acceleration of all outstanding ETNs, the "Accelerated Valuation Period" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, the first Trading Day of which shall be the day on which we give notice of such Event Acceleration (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day). In the case of an acceleration of less than all outstanding ETNs, the "**Accelerated Valuation Date**" will be the first Trading Day following the date of our notice of acceleration. The Accelerated Redemption Amount will be payable on the third Business Day following the Accelerated Valuation Date or the third Business Day following the last Trading Day in the Accelerated Valuation Period as the case may be (such date the "**Acceleration Date**"). We will give notice of any acceleration of the ETNs through customary channels used to deliver notices to holders of exchange traded notes.

Any payment holders will be entitled to receive is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

An "**Acceleration Event**" means:

(a) an amendment to or change (including any officially announced proposed change) in the laws, regulations or rules of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), or any jurisdiction in which a Primary Exchange or Related Exchange (each as defined herein) is located that (i) makes it illegal for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the GLD Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index, the GLD Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) shall materially increase the cost to the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or similarly situated third parties in performing our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs, (iii) shall have a material adverse effect on any of these parties' ability to perform their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iv) shall materially affect our ability to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(b) any official administrative decision, judicial decision, administrative action, regulatory interpretation or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, regulations or rules that is announced on or after the Inception Date that (i) makes it illegal for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the GLD Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index or the futures contracts relating to the Index, the GLD Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) shall materially increase the cost to the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with

------

whom we transact or similarly situated third parties in performing our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs, (iii) shall have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or a similarly situated third party to perform our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iv) shall materially affect our ability to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(c) any event that occurs on or after the Inception Date that makes it a violation of any law, regulation or rule of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), or any jurisdiction in which a Primary Exchange or Related Exchange (each as defined herein) is located, or of any official administrative decision, judicial decision, administrative action, regulatory interpretation or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, regulations or rules, (i) for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options contracts relating to the Index or the GLD Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index, the GLD Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) for the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or similarly situated third parties to perform our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iii) for us to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(d) any event, as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent, that we or any of our affiliates or a similarly situated party would, after using commercially reasonable efforts, be unable to, or would incur a materially increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee (other than brokerage commissions) to, acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction or asset it deems necessary to hedge the risk of the ETNs, or realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction or asset;

(e) if at any point, the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the prior day's Closing Indicative Value of such ETNs; or

(f) as determined by the Calculation Agent, the primary exchange or market for trading for the ETNs, if any, announces that pursuant to the rules of such exchange or market, as applicable, the ETNs cease (or will cease) to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on such exchange or market, as applicable, for any reason and are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on an exchange or quotation system located in the same country as such exchange or market, as applicable.

"**Primary Exchange**" means the primary exchange on which options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the GLD Shares are traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent, which is initially the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

"**Related Exchange**" means each exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) for the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to the Index or the GLD Shares.

**Market Disruption Events**

The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to any Index Component and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any event described below and its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent manifest error.

A "**Market Disruption Event**" is:

(a) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the Index Components on the relevant exchange for such Index Component for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange;

(b) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the relevant exchange for any Index Component, as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Index Component during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange are materially inaccurate;

(c) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to any Index Component for more than two hours of trading during, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session for such related exchange or market;

(d) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in those related futures or options contracts; or

(e) failure of the Index Calculation Agent to publish the level of the Index, including as a result of any disruption of the Index Components;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and in each case a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to effect transactions in the Index Component or any instrument related to the Index Component or to adjust or unwind all or a material portion of any hedge position in the Index Component with respect to the ETNs.

For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event in respect of an Index Component has occurred:

------

(a) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange for such Index Component or the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component;

(b) limitations pursuant to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any other U.S. self-regulatory organization, the SEC or any other relevant authority of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading; and

(c) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component by the primary related exchange or market for trading in such contracts, if available, by reason of:

(i) a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market;

(ii) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts; or

(iii) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts;

will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component; and

(d) a "suspension, absence or material limitation of trading" on the primary related exchange or market on which futures or options contracts related to such Index Component are traded will not include any time when such exchange or market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on any Valuation Date (including, without limitation, the Final Valuation Date, the Early Redemption Valuation Date, or any Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period), that Valuation Date will be postponed until the first Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing, unless a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing for each of the five (5) Trading Days following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date. In that case, the fifth Trading Day following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the applicable Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that a Market Disruption Event occurred or was continuing on such Trading Day, and the Calculation Agent will determine the applicable Closing Indicative Value using an appropriate Closing Level of the Index on that deemed Valuation Date taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event. If any Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period is postponed as described above, each subsequent Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period will be postponed by the same number of Trading Days. In addition, if the Final Valuation Date, the Valuation Date corresponding to an Early Redemption Date or the last scheduled Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period is postponed, the Maturity Date, the corresponding Early Redemption Date or the Acceleration Date, as the case may be, will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following such Valuation Date, as postponed.

**Default Amount on Acceleration**

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our senior medium-term notes, of which the ETNs are a part, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the stated principal amount of each ETN outstanding as the stated principal amount of that ETN. Although the terms of the ETNs may differ from those of the other senior medium-term notes, holders of specified percentages in stated principal amount of all senior medium-term notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt securities, will be able to take action affecting all the senior medium-term notes, including the ETNs. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the senior medium-term notes, accelerating the maturity of the senior medium-term notes after a default or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture.

In case an event of default with respect to ETNs shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the ETNs will be determined by the Calculation Agent, and will equal, for each ETN that a holder then holds, the Closing Indicative Value determined by the Calculation Agent occurring on the Trading Day following the date on which the ETNs were declared due and payable.

**Further Issuances**

We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the ETNs, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions as the ETNs, and ranking on an equal basis with the ETNs in all respects.

**Discontinuation or Modification of the Index**

If the Index Sponsors discontinue publication of the Index and the Index Sponsors or anyone else publishes a substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the Index, then the Calculation Agent will permanently replace the original Index

------

with that substitute index (the "**Successor Index**") for all purposes, and all provisions described herein as applying to the Index will thereafter apply to the Successor Index instead. If the Calculation Agent replaces the original Index with a Successor Index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Early Redemption Amount, Accelerated Redemption Amount or Maturity Redemption Amount (each, a "**Redemption Amount**") and the Coupon Amount, as applicable, by reference to the Successor Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the publication of the Index is discontinued and there is no successor index, the Calculation Agent will determine the level of the Index, and thus the applicable Redemption Amount, by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index, the Options or the method of calculating the Index is changed at any time in any respect, including whether the change is made by the Index Sponsors under their existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor index, is due to events affecting the GLD Shares or the Options, or is due to any other reason and is not otherwise reflected in the level of the Index by the Index Sponsors pursuant to the Index methodology, then the Calculation Agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments in the Index or the method of its calculation as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the Closing Level of the Index used to determine the applicable Redemption Amount is equitable.

**Manner of Payment and Delivery**

Any payment on or delivery of the ETNs at maturity will be made to accounts designated by holders and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City, but only when the ETNs are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

**Role of the Calculation Agent**

Credit Suisse International ("**CSi**"), an affiliate of ours and the Calculation Agent, will, in its reasonable discretion, make certain calculations and determinations that may impact the value of the ETNs, including determination of the arithmetic average of the Closing Indicative Values where applicable, a split or reverse split of the ETNs, calculation of default amounts, Market Disruption Events, any Successor Index, Business Days and Trading Days, the Current Principal Amount, the Daily Investor Fee amount, the Daily Index Factor, the Coupon Amount, the Closing Level of the Index on any Trading Day, the Maturity Date, any Early Redemption Dates, the Acceleration Date, the amount payable in respect of a holder's ETNs at maturity, upon early redemption or acceleration and any other calculations or determinations to be made by the Calculation Agent as specified herein.

If the Calculation Agent ceases to perform its role, we will either, at our sole discretion, perform such role, appoint another party to do so or accelerate the ETNs.

We may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

**Role of the Index Calculation Agent**

We have initially appointed NASDAQ OMX as an Index Calculation Agent. The Index Calculation Agent will have the sole responsibility to calculate and disseminate the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The Index Sponsors may appoint a different Index Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

**Description of Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETNs due April 21, 2033**

*Defined terms used within this subsection are defined only with respect to the ETNs listed in the subsection heading above and described within this subsection.*

**General**

The return on the Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETNs due April 21, 2033 ("**ETNs**") will be based on the performance of the Credit Suisse NASDAQ Silver FLOWS<sup>TM</sup> 106 Index (the "**Index**"), as reflected by their Indicative Value, calculated

------

as set forth below. The Index measures the return of a "covered call" strategy on the shares of the iShares<sup>®</sup> Silver Trust (the "**SLV Shares**") by reflecting changes in the price of the SLV Shares and the notional option premiums received from the notional sale of monthly call options on the SLV Shares less notional transaction costs incurred in connection with the covered call strategy. The Index strategy consists of a hypothetical notional portfolio that takes a "long" position in SLV Shares and sells a succession of notional, approximately one-month, call options on the SLV Shares with a strike price of approximately 106% of the price of the SLV Shares exercisable on the option expiration date (the "**Options**" and together with the long position in SLV Shares, the "**Index Components**"). The notional sale of the Options is "covered" by the notional long position in the SLV Shares. The long position in the SLV Shares and the "short" call options are held in equal notional amounts (i.e., the short position in each Option is "covered" by the long position in the SLV Shares). This strategy is intended to provide exposure to silver through the notional positions in the SLV Shares and the Options that seeks to (i) generate periodic cash flows that a direct long-only ownership position in the SLV Shares would not, (ii) provide a limited offset to losses from downside market performance in the SLV Shares via the cash flows from option premiums and (iii) provide limited potential upside participation in the performance of the SLV Shares. The level of the Index on any day reflects the value of the notional long position in the SLV Shares and the notional Option premium, reduced based on the value of the Options then outstanding. The ETNs will not participate in the potential upside of the SLV Shares beyond the applicable strike price of the Options and notional transaction costs. The Index is subject to the policies of CSi and Nasdaq, Inc. (the "**Index Sponsors**") and is subject to the Index Sponsors' discretion, including with respect to the implementation of, and changes to, the rules governing the Index methodology.

**Inception, Issuance and Maturity**

The initial issuance of ETNs priced on April 16, 2013 (the "**Inception Date**") and settled on April 19, 2013 (the "**Initial Settlement Date**"). The "**Maturity Date**" is initially April 21, 2033, but the maturity of the ETNs may be extended at our option for up to two additional five-year periods, as described herein.

**Intraday Indicative Value**

The "**Intraday Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is designed to reflect the economic value of the ETNs at a given time. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be calculated and published by the Index Calculation Agent every fifteen (15) seconds on each Trading Day during normal trading hours so long as no Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape or other major market data vendor. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at any time is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index. It is calculated using the same formula as the Closing Indicative Value, except that instead of using the Closing Level of the Index, the calculation is based on the most recent reported level of the Index at the particular time (or, if the day on which such time occurs is not a Trading Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent).

At any time at which a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no Intraday Indicative Value. If the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero.

Neither the Intraday Indicative Value nor the Closing Indicative Value calculation is intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption, acceleration or termination of a holder's ETNs, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity or bid-offer spreads. The Index Calculation Agent is responsible for computing and disseminating the ETN's Indicative Values. Published levels of the Index from the Index Calculation Agent may occasionally be subject to delay or postponement. Any such delays or postponements will affect the current level of the Index and therefore the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The actual trading price of the ETNs may be different from their Intraday Indicative Value or Closing Indicative Value.

The actual trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Intraday Indicative Value at such time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price that holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists.

The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which a holder may be able to buy or sell its ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. In the absence of an active secondary market for the ETNs, the last reported trading price may not reflect the actual price at which a holder may be able to buy or sell its ETNs at a particular time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their Indicative Value at such time due to, among other things, imbalances of supply and demand, lack of liquidity, transaction costs, credit considerations and bid-offer spreads.

------

The closing price of the ETNs will be published on each Trading Day under the ticker symbol "SLVO". Any premium or discount may be reduced or eliminated at any time. Paying a premium purchase price of the ETNs over the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event holders sell their ETNs at a time when such premium is no longer present in the market place or such ETNs are redeemed by us (including pursuant to an acceleration at our option), in which case holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment based on the Closing Indicative Value on the relevant Valuation Date(s).

The ETNs may be redeemed or accelerated at any time, subject to the conditions described herein.

As discussed in "Payment Upon Early Redemption" below, a holder may, subject to certain restrictions, provide a Redemption Notice on any Business Day during the term of the ETNs beginning on April 17, 2013 through April 7, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended) (for an anticipated April 8, 2033 Early Redemption Valuation Date and an anticipated Early Redemption Date of April 13, 2033 or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, an Early Redemption Valuation Date four (4) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended, and an Early Redemption Date one scheduled Business Day prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). If a holder elects to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, such holder must offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount at one time for redemption on any Early Redemption Date.

In addition, we have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part at any time on any Business Day occurring on or after the Inception Date or upon the occurrence of certain events described herein. Upon an acceleration of all of the outstanding ETNs, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period. If fewer than all of the outstanding ETNs are accelerated, the Accelerated Redemption Amount will be the Closing Indicative Value on the Accelerated Valuation Date. If less than all the ETNs are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Acceleration or an Event Acceleration, the trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it deems appropriate and fair, the ETNs to be redeemed pursuant to such acceleration. ETNs may be accelerated in part in multiples of 10,000 ETNs, or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof.

The last date on which Credit Suisse will redeem the ETNs at a holder's option will be April 13, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, one scheduled Business Day prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended). As such, a holder must offer its ETNs for redemption no later than April 7, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). The daily redemption feature is intended to induce arbitrageurs to counteract any trading of the ETNs at a premium or discount to their Indicative Value, although there can be no assurance that arbitrageurs will employ the redemption feature in this manner.

**Indicative Value**

The Indicative Value of the ETNs is the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs, as applicable.

**Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs**

The Calculation Agent may initiate a split or reverse split of the ETNs on any Trading Day. If the Calculation Agent decides to initiate a split or reverse split, the Calculation Agent will issue a notice to holders of the ETNs and a press release announcing the split or reverse split, specifying the effective date of the split or reverse split. The Calculation Agent will determine the ratio of such split or reverse split, as the case may be, using relevant market indicia, and will adjust the terms of the ETNs accordingly. Any adjustment of the closing value will be rounded to 8 decimal places.

In the case of a reverse split, we reserve the right to address odd numbers of ETNs (commonly referred to as "**partials**") in a manner determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. A split or reverse split of the ETNs will not affect the aggregate stated principal amount of ETNs held by an investor, other than to the extent of any "partial" ETNs, but it will affect the number of ETNs an investor holds, the denominations used for trading purposes on the exchange and the trading price, and may affect the liquidity, of the ETNs on the exchange.

If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Current Principal Amount, Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly.

------

Neither the Closing Indicative Value nor the Intraday Indicative Value is the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time.

Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022.

**Coupon Amount**

On each Coupon Payment Date, for each $400.00 stated principal amount ETN, holders on the Coupon Record Date will be entitled to receive a variable cash payment equal to the Closing Indicative Value on the Index Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Index Distribution Date multiplied by the Coupon Percentage for that Index Distribution Date. The Coupon will be paid on the Coupon Payment Date to the holder of record on the applicable Coupon Record Date. No Coupon Amount will be due or payable in the event a holder elects to offer its ETNs for early redemption or we accelerate the maturity of the ETNs.

The Coupon Percentage in respect of an Index Distribution Date will be the Distribution for such Index Distribution Date divided by the Closing Level of the Index the Index Business Day immediately preceding the Index Distribution Date. The Distribution represents the notional monthly call premium earned on the sale of the call options written on the SLV Shares during the immediately preceding Index Rebalancing Period pursuant to the Index methodology.

The premiums generated from the notional sales of the Options will be subtracted monthly from the Index and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of a Coupon Amount, the amount of which is determined based on the notional premiums received from the sale of the Options during the preceding Rebalancing Period as described below.

The "**Index Rebalancing Period**" refers to the five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days beginning on and including the Index Calculation Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Expiry Date (as defined below) of the relevant Options (each, a "**Roll Date**"). The Index will be rebalanced at the end of each Roll Date in accordance with the following steps:

■ First, on the Index Calculation Day preceding the first Roll Date of each month, the strike price of the new Option is determined. The strike price will be the lowest listed strike price that is above 106% of the price per Share as of the 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such date of determination. Then, the Index will roll its monthly exposure over the next five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days. The roll percentage is the proportion of the expiring position being rolled into a new position on each Roll Date.

■ At the end of the first Roll Date, and on each successive Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will notionally sell the new Option. Additionally, as of the end of each such Roll Date, the Index will hypothetically close out through repurchase 20% (or such greater amount in the event of roll disruptions) of the Options notionally sold during the previous Index Rebalancing Period (the expiring Options); the Index will notionally liquidate SLV Shares Units in an amount sufficient to fund the notional repurchase.

■ Finally, on the last Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will determine the amount of the notional Option premium, which will, on the close of the last Roll Date of the next following Index Rebalancing Period, be subtracted from the Index as a Distribution and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of the Coupon Amount.

An Index Distribution Date will be the date on which the Distribution is subtracted from the level of the Index pursuant to the rules of the Index, which will occur on the last Roll Date of a given Index Rebalancing Period.

The Coupon Amount is calculated by reference to the notional Distribution from the Index, which will decrease the level of the Index (and therefore the value of the ETNs), as the Distribution comes directly from the notional portfolio reflected by the Index Components. When the Distribution is deducted from the Index on the Index Distribution Date, the Coupon Amount will be added to the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. At the market opening on the Ex-Coupon Date, the ETNs will trade on an ex-coupon basis, adjusted for the Coupon Amount, meaning that the Coupon Amount will no longer be included in the Closing Indicative Value or the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. For a holder to receive the upcoming Coupon Amount, the holder must own the ETNs on the Coupon Record Date.

The "**Ex-Coupon Date**" means, with respect to each Coupon Amount, the first Trading Day on which the ETNs trade without the right to receive such Coupon Amount.

**Denomination**

Prior to September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal amount of each ETN was $20.00. Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split of the ETNs, effective September 27, 2022. As of September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal

------

amount of each ETN is $400.00. ETNs may be issued at a price that is higher or lower than the stated principal amount, based on the Indicative Value of the ETNs at that time.

**Payment at Maturity**

At maturity, holders of the ETNs will be entitled to receive a cash payment on April 21, 2033 (the "**Maturity Date**") (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, on the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended) that is linked to the percentage change in the Closing Level of the Index from the Inception Date to the Closing Level calculated on the Final Valuation Date. Such holder's cash payment at maturity will be equal to the "**Final Indicative Value**", which will be the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Value on each of the immediately preceding five (5) Trading Days to and including the Final Valuation Date (the "**Final Valuation Period**"). We refer to the amount of such payment as the "**Maturity Redemption Amount**". If the scheduled Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be postponed to the first Business Day following the scheduled Maturity Date. If the scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the next following Trading Day, in which case the Maturity Date will be postponed to the third Business Day following the Final Valuation Date as so postponed. In addition, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, the Maturity Date will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed. No interest or additional payment will accrue or be payable as a result of any postponement of the Maturity Date. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. In no event will the payment at maturity be less than zero.

The scheduled Maturity Date is initially April 21, 2033, but may be extended at our option for up to two (2) additional five-year periods. We may only extend the scheduled Maturity Date for five (5) years at a time. If we exercise our option to extend the maturity of the ETNs, we will notify DTC (the holder of the global note for the ETNs) and the trustee at least 45 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date. We will provide such notice to DTC and the trustee in respect of each five-year extension of the scheduled Maturity Date that we choose to effect.

If the Final Indicative Value is zero, the Maturity Redemption Amount will be zero.

The "**Closing Indicative Value**" on the Inception Date was $20.00 (the "**Initial Indicative Value**"). The Closing Indicative Value on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be calculated by the Index Calculation Agent and will be equal to (1) the Current Principal Amount for such calendar day plus (2) for any day on or after the Index Distribution Date but prior to the Ex-Coupon Date for a given month, any accrued but unpaid Coupon Amount. The Closing Indicative Value will never be less than zero. If the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value on that day, and all future days, will be zero. The Closing Indicative Value is not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their Indicative Value at such time. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly (see "Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs"). Such adjustment may adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the ETNs. Even if the Closing Indicative Value or Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time, the trading price of the ETNs may remain above zero. Buying the ETNs at such a time will lead to a complete loss of a holder's investment.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. Since September 27, 2022, the Closing Indicative Value has been expressed in an amount per denomination and stated principal amount of $400.00 based on the split-adjusted Current Principal Amount.

The "**Current Principal Amount**" on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be equal to (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day minus (2) the Daily Investor Fee on such calendar day. The Current Principal Amount on the Inception Date was $20.00.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Current Principal Amount on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above. Since September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount has been expressed in an amount per denomination and stated principal amount of $400.00.

A "**Business Day**" is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or London, England generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

A "**Trading Day**" is a day which is (i) an Index Business Day, (ii) an ETN Business Day and (iii) an Index Component Business Day for each of the Index Components.

------

An "**Index Business Day**" is a day on which the level of the Index is calculated and published.

With respect to any Index Component, an "**Index Component Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on any markets on which such Index Component is traded.

An "**ETN Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca and Nasdaq.

The "**Daily Index Factor**" on any Index Business Day will equal (a) the Closing Level of the Index on such Index Business Day divided by (b) the Closing Level of the Index on the immediately preceding Index Business Day. The Daily Index Factor is deemed to be one on any day that is not an Index Business Day.

On any calendar day, the "**Daily Investor Fee**" will be equal to the product of (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day times (2)(a) the Investor Fee divided by (b) 365. The "Investor Fee" will be equal to 0.65%.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Daily Investor Fee on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above.

The ETNs do not guarantee any return of a holder's investment. If the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the Daily Investor Fee (and in the case of Early Redemption, the Early Redemption Charge) over the term of the ETNs, a holder will receive less, and possibly significantly less, at maturity or upon early redemption or acceleration of the ETNs than the amount of such holder's investment.

The "**Closing Level**" of the Index on any Trading Day will be the Closing Level published on Bloomberg under the ticker symbol "QSLVO " or any successor page on Bloomberg or any successor service, as applicable; provided that in the event a Market Disruption Event exists on a Valuation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index.

Any payment holders will be entitled to receive is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

**Payment Upon Early Redemption**

Prior to maturity, a holder may, subject to certain restrictions described below, offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount or more of its ETNs to us for redemption on an Early Redemption Date during the term of the ETNs until April 7, 2033 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). If a holder elects to offer its ETNs for redemption, and the requirements for acceptance by us are met, such holder will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN on the Early Redemption Date equal to the Early Redemption Amount. Any payment holders will be entitled to receive on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

A holder may exercise its early redemption right by causing its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs to deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined herein) to Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. See "Procedures for Early Redemption".

A holder must offer for redemption at least 10,000 ETNs or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof at one time in order to exercise the right to cause us to redeem such holder's ETNs on any Early Redemption Date (the "**Minimum Redemption Amount**"); provided that we or CSi as the Calculation Agent may from time to time reduce, in part or in whole, the Minimum Redemption Amount. Any such reduction will be applied on a consistent basis for all holders of the ETNs at the time the reduction becomes effective. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the minimum number of ETNs needed to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs will remain the same.

When a holder submits its ETNs for redemption in accordance with the redemption procedures described herein, such ETNs may remain outstanding (and be resold by us or an affiliate) or may be submitted by us for cancellation.

The "**Early Redemption Date**" is the third Business Day following an Early Redemption Valuation Date.

------

The "**Early Redemption Charge**" will equal up to 0.125% times the Closing Indicative Value on the Early Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Early Redemption Amount**" is a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (A) zero and (B)(1) the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date minus (2) the Early Redemption Charge, if applicable, calculated by the Calculation Agent.

**Procedures for Early Redemption**

If a holder wishes to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, such holder's broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs must follow the following procedures:

■ Deliver a notice of redemption (the "**Redemption Notice**"), to Credit Suisse via email or other electronic delivery as requested by Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. If Credit Suisse receives such Redemption Notice no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, Credit Suisse will respond by sending such holder's broker an acknowledgment of the Redemption Notice accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. Credit Suisse or its affiliate must acknowledge to such holder's broker acceptance of the Redemption Notice in order for such redemption request to be effective;

■ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credit Suisse may, at its option, waive the requirement that the Redemption Notice be delivered as set forth above, if confirmed by Credit Suisse that a written indication of an offer for early redemption has otherwise been accepted by Credit Suisse. Any such written indication that is delivered after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, will be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder may choose to comply with the procedures set forth above in lieu of the procedures in this clause, irrespective of any waiver by Credit Suisse;

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the ETNs on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date at a price equal to the applicable Early Redemption Amount, facing us; and

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the applicable Early Redemption Date (the third Business Day following the Early Redemption Valuation Date).

A holder is responsible for (i) instructing or otherwise causing its broker to provide the Redemption Notice and (ii) its broker satisfying the additional requirements as set forth in the second and third bullets above in order for the redemption to be effected. Different brokerage firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, a holder should consult the brokerage firm through which it owns its interest in the ETNs in respect of such deadlines. If Credit Suisse does not (i) receive the Redemption Notice from the relevant holder's broker by 4:00 p.m. and (ii) deliver an acknowledgment of such Redemption Notice to such holder's broker accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, such notice will not be effective for such Business Day and Credit Suisse will treat such Redemption Notice as if it was received on the next Business Day. Any redemption instructions for which Credit Suisse receives a valid confirmation in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable after Credit Suisse confirms a holder's offer for early redemption.

Because the Early Redemption Amount a holder will receive for each ETN will not be determined until the close of trading on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, a holder will not know the applicable Early Redemption Amount at the time such holder exercises its redemption right and will bear the risk that its ETNs will decline in value between the time of such holder's exercise and the time at which the Early Redemption Amount is determined.

**Acceleration at Our Option or Upon an Acceleration Event**

We have the right to accelerate the ETNs in whole or in part on any Business Day occurring on or after the Inception Date (an "**Optional Acceleration**"). In addition, if an Acceleration Event (as defined herein) occurs at any time with respect to the ETNs, we will have the right to accelerate all or any portion of the outstanding ETNs (an "**Event Acceleration**"). Upon an acceleration of all of the outstanding ETNs, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period. If fewer than all of the outstanding ETNs are accelerated, the Accelerated Redemption Amount will be the Closing Indicative Value on the Accelerated Valuation Date. If less than all the ETNs are to be redeemed pursuant to an Optional Acceleration or an Event Acceleration, the trustee shall select, pro rata, by lot or in such manner as it deems appropriate and fair, the ETNs to be redeemed pursuant to such acceleration. ETNs may be accelerated in part in multiples of 10,000 ETNs, or an integral multiple of 10,000 ETNs in excess thereof. We will provide at least five (5) Business Days' notice of any ETNs to be accelerated and, in the case of any ETNs selected for partial redemption, the stated principal amount thereof to be redeemed. All

------

provisions relating to the acceleration of the ETNs to be redeemed only in part, relate to the portion of the stated principal amount of ETNs which has been or is to be redeemed pursuant to these acceleration provisions.

In the case of an Optional Acceleration of all outstanding ETNs, the "**Accelerated Valuation Period**" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days specified in our notice of Optional Acceleration, the first Trading Day of which shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date on which we give notice of such Optional Acceleration. In the case of an Event Acceleration of all outstanding ETNs, the "Accelerated Valuation Period" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, the first Trading Day of which shall be the day on which we give notice of such Event Acceleration (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day). In the case of an acceleration of less than all outstanding ETNs, the "**Accelerated Valuation Date**" will be the first Trading Day following the date of our notice of acceleration. The Accelerated Redemption Amount will be payable on the third Business Day following the Accelerated Valuation Date or the third Business Day following the last Trading Day in the Accelerated Valuation Period as the case may be (such date the "**Acceleration Date**"). We will give notice of any acceleration of the ETNs through customary channels used to deliver notices to holders of exchange traded notes.

Any payment holders will be entitled to receive is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

An "**Acceleration Event**" means:

(a) an amendment to or change (including any officially announced proposed change) in the laws, regulations or rules of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), or any jurisdiction in which a Primary Exchange or Related Exchange (each as defined herein) is located that (i) makes it illegal for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the SLV Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index, the SLV Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) shall materially increase the cost to the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or similarly situated third parties in performing our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs, (iii) shall have a material adverse effect on any of these parties' ability to perform their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iv) shall materially affect our ability to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(b) any official administrative decision, judicial decision, administrative action, regulatory interpretation or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, regulations or rules that is announced on or after the Inception Date that (i) makes it illegal for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the SLV Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index or the futures contracts relating to the Index, the SLV Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) shall materially increase the cost to the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or similarly situated third parties in performing our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs, (iii) shall have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or a similarly situated third party to perform our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iv) shall materially affect our ability to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(c) any event that occurs on or after the Inception Date that makes it a violation of any law, regulation or rule of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), or any jurisdiction in which a Primary Exchange or Related Exchange (each as defined herein) is located, or of any official administrative decision, judicial decision, administrative action, regulatory interpretation or other official pronouncement interpreting or applying those laws, regulations or rules, (i) for CSi to hold, acquire or dispose of options contracts relating to the Index or the SLV Shares or options, futures, swaps or other derivatives on the Index, the SLV Shares or the Options (including but not limited to exchange-imposed position limits), (ii) for the Issuer, our affiliates, third parties with whom we transact or similarly situated third parties to perform our or their obligations in connection with the ETNs or (iii) for us to issue or transact in exchange traded notes similar to the ETNs, each as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent;

(d) any event, as determined by us or CSi, as the Calculation Agent, that we or any of our affiliates or a similarly situated party would, after using commercially reasonable efforts, be unable to, or would incur a materially increased amount of tax, duty, expense or fee (other than brokerage commissions) to, acquire, establish, re-establish, substitute, maintain, unwind or dispose of any transaction or asset it deems necessary to hedge the risk of the ETNs, or realize, recover or remit the proceeds of any such transaction or asset;

(e) if at any point, the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the prior day's Closing Indicative Value of such ETNs; or

(f) as determined by the Calculation Agent, the primary exchange or market for trading for the ETNs, if any, announces that pursuant to the rules of such exchange or market, as applicable, the ETNs cease (or will cease) to be listed, traded or publicly quoted on such exchange or market, as applicable, for any reason and are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on an exchange or quotation system located in the same country as such exchange or market, as applicable.

"**Primary Exchange**" means the primary exchange on which options or futures contracts relating to the Index or the SLV Shares are traded, as determined by the Calculation Agent, which is initially the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).

------

"**Related Exchange**" means each exchange or quotation system where trading has a material effect (as determined by the Calculation Agent) for the overall market for futures or options contracts relating to the Index or the SLV Shares.

Any ETNs accelerated following an Acceleration Event will be cancelled on the Acceleration Date. Consequently, as of such Acceleration Date, the ETNs will no longer be considered outstanding.

**Market Disruption Events**

The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to any Index Component and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any event described below and its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent manifest error.

A "**Market Disruption Event**" is:

(a) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the Index Components on the relevant exchange for such Index Component for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange;

(b) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the relevant exchange for any Index Component, as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Index Component during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange are materially inaccurate;

(c) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to any Index Component for more than two hours of trading during, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session for such related exchange or market;

(d) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in those related futures or options contracts; or

(e) failure of the Index Calculation Agent to publish the level of the Index, including as a result of any disruption of the Index Components;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and in each case a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to effect transactions in the Index Component or any instrument related to the Index Component or to adjust or unwind all or a material portion of any hedge position in the Index Component with respect to the ETNs.

For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event in respect of an Index Component has occurred:

(a) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange for such Index Component or the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component;

(b) limitations pursuant to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any other U.S. self-regulatory organization, the SEC or any other relevant authority of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading; and

(c) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component by the primary related exchange or market for trading in such contracts, if available, by reason of:

(i) a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market;

(ii) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts; or

(iii) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts;

will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component; and

(d) a "suspension, absence or material limitation of trading" on the primary related exchange or market on which futures or options contracts related to such Index Component are traded will not include any time when such exchange or market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on any Valuation Date (including, without limitation, the Final Valuation Date, the Early Redemption Valuation Date, or any Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period), that Valuation Date will be postponed until the first Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing, unless a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing for each of the five (5) Trading Days following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date. In that case, the fifth Trading Day following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the applicable Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that a Market Disruption Event occurred or was continuing on such Trading

------

Day, and the Calculation Agent will determine the applicable Closing Indicative Value using an appropriate Closing Level of the Index on that deemed Valuation Date taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event. If any Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period is postponed as described above, each subsequent Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period will be postponed by the same number of Trading Days. In addition, if the Final Valuation Date, the Valuation Date corresponding to an Early Redemption Date or the last scheduled Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period is postponed, the Maturity Date, the corresponding Early Redemption Date or the Acceleration Date, as the case may be, will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following such Valuation Date, as postponed.

**Default Amount on Acceleration**

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our senior medium-term notes, of which the ETNs are a part, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the stated principal amount of each ETN outstanding as the stated principal amount of that ETN. Although the terms of the ETNs may differ from those of the other senior medium-term notes, holders of specified percentages in stated principal amount of all senior medium-term notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt securities, will be able to take action affecting all the senior medium-term notes, including the ETNs. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the senior medium-term notes, accelerating the maturity of the senior medium-term notes after a default or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture.

In case an event of default with respect to ETNs shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the ETNs will be determined by the Calculation Agent, and will equal, for each ETN that a holder then holds, the Closing Indicative Value determined by the Calculation Agent occurring on the Trading Day following the date on which the ETNs were declared due and payable.

**Further Issuances**

We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the ETNs, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions as the ETNs, and ranking on an equal basis with the ETNs in all respects.

**Discontinuation or Modification of the Index**

If the Index Sponsors discontinue publication of the Index and the Index Sponsors or anyone else publishes a substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the Index, then the Calculation Agent will permanently replace the original Index with that substitute index (the "**Successor Index**") for all purposes, and all provisions described herein as applying to the Index will thereafter apply to the Successor Index instead. If the Calculation Agent replaces the original Index with a Successor Index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Early Redemption Amount, Accelerated Redemption Amount or Maturity Redemption Amount (each, a "**Redemption Amount**") and the Coupon Amount, as applicable, by reference to the Successor Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the publication of the Index is discontinued and there is no successor index, the Calculation Agent will determine the level of the Index, and thus the applicable Redemption Amount, by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index, the Options or the method of calculating the Index is changed at any time in any respect, including whether the change is made by the Index Sponsors under their existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor index, is due to events affecting the SLV Shares or the Options, or is due to any other reason and is not otherwise reflected in the level of the Index by the Index Sponsors pursuant to the Index methodology, then the Calculation Agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments in the Index or the method of its calculation as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the Closing Level of the Index used to determine the applicable Redemption Amount is equitable.

**Manner of Payment and Delivery**

Any payment on or delivery of the ETNs at maturity will be made to accounts designated by holders and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City, but only when the ETNs are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

------

**Role of the Calculation Agent**

Credit Suisse International ("**CSi**"), an affiliate of ours and the Calculation Agent, will, in its reasonable discretion, make certain calculations and determinations that may impact the value of the ETNs, including determination of the arithmetic average of the Closing Indicative Values where applicable, a split or reverse split of the ETNs, calculation of default amounts, Market Disruption Events, any Successor Index, Business Days and Trading Days, the Current Principal Amount, the Daily Investor Fee amount, the Daily Index Factor, the Coupon Amount, the Closing Level of the Index on any Trading Day, the Maturity Date, any Early Redemption Dates, the Acceleration Date, the amount payable in respect of a holder's ETNs at maturity, upon early redemption or acceleration and any other calculations or determinations to be made by the Calculation Agent as specified herein.

If the Calculation Agent ceases to perform its role, we will either, at our sole discretion, perform such role, appoint another party to do so or accelerate the ETNs.

We may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

**Role of the Index Calculation Agent**

We have initially appointed Nasdaq, Inc. as an Index Calculation Agent. The Index Calculation Agent will have the sole responsibility to calculate and disseminate the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The Index Sponsors may appoint a different Index Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

**Description of Credit Suisse X-Links<sup>®</sup> Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETNs due April 24, 2037**

*Defined terms used within this subsection are defined only with respect to the ETNs listed in the subsection heading above and described within this subsection.*

**General**

The return on the Credit Suisse X-Links<sup>®</sup> Crude Oil Shares Covered Call ETNs due April 24, 2037 ("**ETNs**") will be based on the performance of the price return version of the Credit Suisse Nasdaq WTI Crude Oil FLOWS<sup>TM</sup> 106 Index (the "**Index**"), as reflected by their Indicative Value, calculated as set forth below. The Index measures the return of a "covered call" strategy on the shares of the United States Oil Fund<sup>®</sup> (the "**Oil Fund**", and such shares the "**Reference Oil Shares**") by reflecting changes in the price of the Reference Oil Shares and the notional option premiums received from the notional sale of monthly call options on the Reference Oil Shares less notional costs incurred in connection with the implementation of the covered call strategy (the "**Notional Transaction Costs**"). The Notional Transaction Costs reflect the monthly transaction costs of hypothetically buying and selling the call options and selling the Reference Oil Shares and equal 0.03%, 0.03% and 0.01%, respectively, *times* the closing price of the Reference Oil Shares on the date of such notional transactions and, which, on an annual basis, are expected to be approximately 0.84%. The actual cost will vary depending on the value of the Reference Oil Shares on the date of such transactions. The Index strategy consists of a hypothetical notional portfolio that takes a "long" position in Reference Oil Shares and sells a succession of notional, approximately one-month, call options on the Reference Oil Shares with a strike price of approximately 106% of the price of the Reference Oil Shares exercisable on the option expiration date (the "**Options**" and together with the long position in Reference Oil Shares, the "**Index Components**"). The notional sale of the Options is "covered" by the notional long position in the Reference Oil Shares. The long position in the Reference Oil Shares and the "short" call options are held in equal notional amounts (i.e., the short position in each Option is "covered" by the long position in the Reference Oil Shares). This strategy is intended to provide exposure to West Texas Intermediate light sweet crude oil ("**WTI crude oil**") futures contract prices through the notional positions in the Reference Oil Shares and the Options that together seek to (i) generate periodic cash flows that a direct long-only ownership position in the Reference Oil Shares would not, (ii) provide a limited offset to losses from downside market performance in the Reference Oil Shares via the cash flows from option premiums and (iii) provide limited potential upside participation in the performance of the Reference Oil Shares. The level of the Index on any day reflects the value of (i) the notional long position in the Reference Oil Shares; (ii) the notional Option premium; and (iii) the notional short position in the Options then outstanding; net of the Notional Transaction Costs. The ETNs will not participate in the potential upside of the Reference Oil Shares beyond the applicable strike price of the Options and the level of the Index will be reduced by the Notional Transaction Costs. The Index is subject to the policies of CSi and Nasdaq, Inc. (the "**Index** 

------

**Sponsors**") and is subject to the Index Sponsors' discretion, including with respect to the implementation of, and changes to, the rules governing the Index methodology.

**Inception, Issuance and Maturity**

The initial issuance of ETNs priced on April 25, 2017 (the "**Inception Date**") and settled on April 28, 2017 (the "**Initial Settlement Date**"). The scheduled maturity date is initially April 24, 2037, but the maturity of the ETNs may be extended at our option for up to two additional five-year periods, as described herein.

**Intraday Indicative Value**

The "**Intraday Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is designed to reflect the economic value of the ETNs at a given time. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be calculated and published by the Index Calculation Agent every fifteen (15) seconds on each Trading Day during normal trading hours so long as no Market Disruption Event has occurred or is continuing and will be disseminated over the consolidated tape or other major market data vendor. The Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at any time is based on the most recent intraday level of the Index. It is calculated using the same formula as the Closing Indicative Value, except that instead of using the Closing Level of the Index, the calculation is based on the most recent reported level of the Index at the particular time (or, if the day on which such time occurs is not a Trading Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent).

At any time at which a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no Intraday Indicative Value. If the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero.

If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Current Principal Amount, Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly. Neither the Closing Indicative Value nor the Intraday Indicative Value is the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time.

Neither the Intraday Indicative Value nor the Closing Indicative Value calculation is intended as a price or quotation, or as an offer or solicitation for the purchase, sale, redemption, acceleration or termination of a holder's ETNs, nor will it reflect hedging or transaction costs, credit considerations, market liquidity or bid-offer spreads. The Index Calculation Agent is responsible for computing and disseminating the ETN's Indicative Values. Published levels of the Index from the Index Calculation Agent may occasionally be subject to delay or postponement. Any such delays or postponements will affect the current level of the Index and therefore the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The actual trading price of the ETNs may be different from their Intraday Indicative Value or Closing Indicative Value.

The actual trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Indicative Value at such time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price that holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists.

The trading price of the ETNs at any time is the price at which holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs in the secondary market at such time, if one exists. In the absence of an active secondary market for the ETNs, the last reported trading price may not reflect the actual price at which holders may be able to buy or sell their ETNs at a particular time. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their Indicative Value at such time due to, among other things, imbalances of supply and demand, lack of liquidity, transaction costs, credit considerations and bid-offer spreads.

The closing price of the ETNs will be published on each Trading Day under the ticker symbol "USOI". Any premium or discount may be reduced or eliminated at any time. Paying a premium purchase price of the ETNs over the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event holders sell their ETNs at a time when such premium has declined or is no longer present in the market place or at maturity or upon early redemption or acceleration, in which case holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment based on the Closing Indicative Value on the relevant Valuation Date(s).

The ETNs may be redeemed or accelerated at any time, subject to the conditions described herein.

As discussed in "Payment Upon Early Redemption" below, holders may, subject to certain restrictions, provide a Redemption Notice on any Business Day during the term of the ETNs beginning on April 26, 2017 through April 14, 2037 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not accept a Redemption Notice submitted to us on any day after the Trading Day preceding the start of the Accelerated

------

Valuation Period. If a holder elects to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, such holder must offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount at one time for redemption on any Early Redemption Date. The daily redemption feature is intended to induce arbitrageurs to counteract any trading of the ETNs at a premium or discount to their Indicative Value, although there can be no assurance that arbitrageurs will employ the redemption feature in this manner.

In addition, on any Business Day on or after May 9, 2017, we have the right to accelerate all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding ETNs (an "**Optional Acceleration**"). Upon an Optional Acceleration, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period. The "**Accelerated Valuation Period**" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days specified in our notice of Optional Acceleration, the first Trading Day of which shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date on which we give notice of such Optional Acceleration. The Accelerated Redemption Amount will be payable on the third Business Day following the last Trading Day in the Accelerated Valuation Period (such payment date the "**Acceleration Date**"). We will give notice of any Optional Acceleration of the ETNs through customary channels used to deliver notices to holders of exchange traded notes.

Any payment holders will be entitled to receive on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

**Indicative Value**

The "**Indicative Value**" of the ETNs is the Intraday Indicative Value or the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs, as applicable.

**Split or Reverse Split of the ETNs**

The Calculation Agent may initiate a split or reverse split of the ETNs on any Trading Day. If the Calculation Agent decides to initiate a split or reverse split, the Calculation Agent will issue a notice to holders of the ETNs and a press release announcing the split or reverse split, specifying the effective date of the split or reverse split. The Calculation Agent will determine the ratio of such split or reverse split, as the case may be, using relevant market indicia, and will adjust the terms of the ETNs accordingly. Any adjustment of the closing value will be rounded to 8 decimal places.

In the case of a reverse split, we reserve the right to address odd numbers of ETNs (commonly referred to as "**partials**") in a manner determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. A split or reverse split of the ETNs will not affect the aggregate stated principal amount of ETNs held by an investor, other than to the extent of any "partial" ETNs, but it will affect the number of ETNs an investor holds, the Current Principal Amount, the denominations used for trading purposes on the exchange and the trading price, and may affect the liquidity, of the ETNs on the exchange.

If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Current Principal Amount, Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly.

Neither the Closing Indicative Value nor the Intraday Indicative Value is the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from the Closing Indicative Value and Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs at such time.

Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022.

**Coupon Amount**

On each Coupon Payment Date, for each $500.00 stated principal amount of the ETNs, holders on the Coupon Record Date will be entitled to receive a variable cash payment equal to the Closing Indicative Value on the Index Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Index Distribution Date multiplied by the Coupon Percentage for that Index Distribution Date. The Coupon will be paid on the Coupon Payment Date to the holder of record on the applicable Coupon Record Date. No Coupon Amount will be due or payable in the event a holder elects to offer its ETNs for early redemption or we accelerate the maturity of the ETNs. The initial Index Distribution Date was May 15, 2017 and the initial Coupon Payment Date was May 25, 2017.

The Coupon Percentage in respect of an Index Distribution Date will be the Distribution for such Index Distribution Date divided by the Closing Level of the Index the Index Business Day immediately preceding the Index Distribution Date. The Distribution represents

------

the notional monthly call premium earned on the sale of the call options written on the Reference Oil Shares during the immediately preceding Index Rebalancing Period pursuant to the Index methodology.

The premiums generated from the notional sales of the Options will be subtracted monthly from the Index and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of a Coupon Amount, the amount of which is determined based on the notional premiums received from the sale of the Options during the preceding Rebalancing Period as described below.

The "**Index Rebalancing Period**" refers to the five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days beginning on and including the Index Calculation Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Expiry Date (as defined below) of the relevant Options (each, a "**Roll Date**"). The Index will be rebalanced at the end of each Roll Date in accordance with the following steps:

■ First, on the Index Calculation Day preceding the first Roll Date of each month, the strike price of the new Option is determined. The strike price will be the lowest listed strike price that is above the Target Strike multiplied by the price per Reference Oil Share as of the 4:00 p.m. New York City time on such date of determination. Then, the Index will roll its monthly exposure over the next five (5) consecutive Index Calculation Days. The roll percentage is the proportion of the expiring position being rolled into a new position on each Roll Date.

■ At the end of the first Roll Date, and on each successive Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will notionally sell the new Option. Additionally, as of the end of each such Roll Date, the Index will hypothetically close out through repurchase 20% (or such greater amount in the event of roll disruptions) of the Options notionally sold during the previous Index Rebalancing Period (the expiring Options); the Index will notionally liquidate Reference Oil Shares in an amount sufficient to fund the notional repurchase.

■ Finally, on the last Roll Date of such Index Rebalancing Period, the Index will determine the amount of the notional Option premium, which will, on the close of the last Roll Date of the next following Index Rebalancing Period, be subtracted from the Index as a Distribution and paid to holders of the ETNs in the form of the Coupon Amount.

An "**Index Distribution Date**" will be the date on which the Distribution is subtracted from the level of the Index pursuant to the rules of the Index, which will occur on the last Roll Date of a given Index Rebalancing Period.

The Coupon Amount is calculated by reference to the notional Distribution from the Index, which will decrease the level of the Index (and, therefore, the value of the ETNs), as the Distribution comes directly from the notional portfolio reflected by the Index Components. When the Distribution is deducted from the Index on the Index Distribution Date, the Coupon Amount will be added to the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. At the market opening on the Ex-Coupon Date, the ETNs will trade on an ex-coupon basis, adjusted for the Coupon Amount, meaning that the Coupon Amount will no longer be included in the Closing Indicative Value or the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. For a holder to receive the upcoming Coupon Amount, the holder must own the ETNs on the Coupon Record Date.

The "**Ex-Coupon Date**", with respect to each Coupon Amount, will be the first Trading Day on which the ETNs trade without the right to receive such Coupon Amount.

**Denomination**

Prior to September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal amount of each ETN was $25.00. Credit Suisse implemented a 1-for-20 reverse split of the ETNs, effective September 27, 2022. As of September 27, 2022, the denomination and stated principal amount of each ETN is $500.00. ETNs may be issued at a price that is higher or lower than the stated principal amount, based on the Indicative Value of the ETNs at that time.

**Payment at Maturity**

At maturity, holders of the ETNs will receive a cash payment on April 24, 2037 (the "**Maturity Date**") (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, on the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended). Such holder's Payment at Maturity will be equal to the "Final Indicative Value", which will be the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Value on each of the immediately preceding five (5) Trading Days to and including the Final Valuation Date (the "**Final Valuation Period**"). We refer to the amount of such payment as the "**Maturity Redemption Amount**". If the scheduled Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Maturity Date will be postponed to the first Business Day following the scheduled Maturity Date.

The "**Final Valuation Date**" is initially April 21, 2037, subject to extension as described below and postponement as a result of a Market Disruption Event as discussed under "Market Disruption Events". If the scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Valuation Date will be postponed to the next following Trading Day, in which case the Maturity Date will be postponed to the third

------

Business Day following the Final Valuation Date, as so postponed. In addition, if a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on the Final Valuation Date, the Maturity Date will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following the Final Valuation Date, as postponed. No interest or additional payment will accrue or be payable as a result of any postponement of the Maturity Date. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due. In no event will the Payment at Maturity be less than zero.

The scheduled Maturity Date is April 24, 2037, but may be extended at our option for up to two (2) additional five-year periods. We may only extend the scheduled Maturity Date for five (5) years at a time. If we exercise our option to extend the maturity of the ETNs, the Final Valuation Date for the ETNs will be the third scheduled Business Day prior to the scheduled Maturity Date, as extended. If we exercise our option to extend the maturity of the ETNs, we will notify DTC (the holder of the global note for the ETNs) and the trustee at least 45 but not more than 60 calendar days prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date. We will provide such notice to DTC and the trustee in respect of each five-year extension of the scheduled Maturity Date that we choose to effect.

If the Final Indicative Value is zero, the Maturity Redemption Amount will be zero.

The "**Closing Indicative Value**" on the Inception Date was equal to $25.00 (the "**Initial Indicative Value**"). The Closing Indicative Value on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be calculated by the Index Calculation Agent and will be equal to (1) the Current Principal Amount for such calendar day *plus* (2) for any day on or after the Index Distribution Date but prior to the Ex-Coupon Date for a given month, any accrued but unpaid Coupon Amount. The Closing Indicative Value will never be less than zero. If the Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time or the Closing Indicative Value is equal to zero on any Trading Day, the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs on that day, and all future days, will be zero. The Closing Indicative Value is not the same as the closing price or any other trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market. The trading price of the ETNs at any time may vary significantly from their Indicative Value at such time. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the Closing Indicative Value (including the Current Principal Amount) of the ETNs will be adjusted accordingly. Such adjustment may adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of the ETNs. Even if the Closing Indicative Value or Intraday Indicative Value is equal to or less than zero at any time, the trading price of the ETNs may remain above zero. Buying the ETNs at such a time will lead to a complete loss of a holder's investment.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. Since September 27, 2022, the Closing Indicative Value has been expressed in an amount per denomination and stated principal amount of $500.00 based on the split-adjusted Current Principal Amount.

The "**Current Principal Amount**" on each calendar day following the Inception Date will be equal to (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day minus (2) the Daily Investor Fee on such calendar day. The Current Principal Amount on the Inception Date was $25.00.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Current Principal Amount on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above.

A "**Business Day**" is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City or London, England generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close.

A "**Trading Day**" is a day which is (i) an Index Business Day, (ii) an ETN Business Day and (iii) an Index Component Business Day for each of the Index Components.

An "**Index Business Day**" is a day on which the level of the Index is calculated and published.

With respect to any Index Component, an "**Index Component Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on any markets on which such Index Component is traded.

An "**ETN Business Day**" is a day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca and NASDAQ.

The "**Daily Index Factor**" on any Index Business Day will equal (a) the Closing Level of the Index on such Index Business Day divided by (b) the Closing Level of the Index on the immediately preceding Index Business Day. The Daily Index Factor is deemed to be one on any day that is not an Index Business Day.

------

On any calendar day, the "**Daily Investor Fee**" will be equal to the product of (1)(a) the Current Principal Amount on the immediately preceding calendar day times (b) the Daily Index Factor on such calendar day times (2)(a) the Investor Fee Rate divided by (b) 365. The "Investor Fee Rate" will be equal to 0.85%.

The ETNs underwent a 1-for-20 reverse split, effective September 27, 2022. For the purposes of determining the Daily Investor Fee on September 27, 2022, the Current Principal Amount on September 26, 2022, multiplied by 20 and rounded to 8 decimal places, shall be used in the formula above.

The ETNs do not guarantee any return of a holder's investment. If the level of the Index decreases or does not increase sufficiently to offset the Daily Investor Fee (and in the case of early redemption, the Early Redemption Charge) over the term of the ETNs, a holder will receive less, and possibly significantly less at maturity or upon early redemption or acceleration of the ETNs than the amount of such holder's investment.

The "**Closing Level**" of the Index on any Trading Day will be the Closing Level published on Bloomberg under the ticker symbol "QUSOI " or any successor page on Bloomberg or any successor service, applicable; provided that in the event a Market Disruption Event exists on a Valuation Date (as defined below), the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Level of the Index, if necessary.

**Payment Upon Early Redemption**

Prior to maturity, a holder may, subject to certain restrictions described below, offer at least the applicable Minimum Redemption Amount or more of its ETNs to us for redemption on an Early Redemption Date during the term of the ETNs until April 14, 2037 (or, if the maturity of the ETNs is extended, five (5) scheduled Trading Days prior to the scheduled Final Valuation Date, as extended). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not accept a Redemption Notice submitted to us on any day after the Trading Day preceding the start of the Accelerated Valuation Period related to the acceleration of all outstanding ETNs. If a holder elects to offer its ETNs for redemption, and the requirements for acceptance by us are met, such holder will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN on the Early Redemption Date equal to the Early Redemption Amount. Any payment holders will be entitled to receive on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

A holder may exercise its early redemption right by causing its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs to deliver a Redemption Notice (as defined herein) to Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. See "Procedures for Early Redemption".

A holder must offer for redemption at least 10,000 ETNs at one time in order to exercise the right to cause us to redeem such holder's ETNs on any Early Redemption Date (the "**Minimum Redemption Amount**"); provided that we or CSi as the Calculation Agent may from time to time reduce, in part or in whole, the Minimum Redemption Amount. Any such reduction will be applied on a consistent basis for all holders of the ETNs at the time the reduction becomes effective. If the ETNs undergo a subsequent split or reverse split, the minimum number of ETNs needed to exercise the right to cause us to redeem the ETNs will remain the same.

When a holder submits its ETNs for redemption in accordance with the redemption procedures described below under "Procedures for Early Redemption," such ETNs may remain outstanding (and be resold by us or an affiliate) or may be submitted by us for cancellation.

The "**Early Redemption Date**" is the third Business Day following an Early Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Early Redemption Charge**" per ETN will equal 0.125% times the Closing Indicative Value on the Early Redemption Valuation Date.

The "**Early Redemption Amount**" is a cash payment per ETN equal to the greater of (A) zero and (B)(1) the Closing Indicative Value on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date minus (2) the Early Redemption Charge, calculated by the Calculation Agent.

**Procedures for Early Redemption**

If a holder wishes to offer its ETNs to Credit Suisse for redemption, its broker or other person with whom such holder holds its ETNs must follow the following procedures:

------

■ Deliver a notice of redemption (the "**Redemption Notice**"), to Credit Suisse via email or other electronic delivery as requested by Credit Suisse. If such Redemption Notice is delivered prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, the immediately following Trading Day will be the applicable "**Early Redemption Valuation Date**". Otherwise, the second following Trading Day will be the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. If Credit Suisse receives such Redemption Notice no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, Credit Suisse will respond by sending the relevant holder's broker an acknowledgment of the Redemption Notice accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date. Credit Suisse or its affiliate must acknowledge to such holder's broker acceptance of the Redemption Notice in order for the holder's redemption request to be effective;

■ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Credit Suisse may, at its option, waive the requirement that the Redemption Notice be delivered as set forth above, if confirmed by Credit Suisse that a written indication of an offer for early redemption has otherwise been accepted by Credit Suisse. Any such written indication that is delivered after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day, will be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, a holder may choose to comply with the procedures set forth above in lieu of the procedures in this clause, irrespective of any waiver by Credit Suisse.

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to book a delivery versus payment trade with respect to the ETNs on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date at a price equal to the applicable Early Redemption Amount, facing us; and

■ Cause the holder's DTC custodian to deliver the trade as booked for settlement via DTC at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the applicable Early Redemption Date (the third Business Day following the Early Redemption Valuation Date).

The holder is responsible for (i) instructing or otherwise causing its broker to provide the Redemption Notice and (ii) its broker satisfying the additional requirements as set forth in the second and third bullets above in order for the redemption to be effected. Different brokerage firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, a holder should consult the brokerage firm through which it owns its interest in the ETNs in respect of such deadlines. If Credit Suisse does not (i) receive the Redemption Notice from the holder's broker by 4:00 p.m. and (ii) deliver an acknowledgment of such Redemption Notice to such broker accepting such redemption request by 7:30 p.m., on the Business Day prior to the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, such notice will not be effective for such Business Day and Credit Suisse will treat such Redemption Notice as if it was received on the next Business Day. Any redemption instructions for which Credit Suisse receives a valid confirmation in accordance with the procedures described above will be irrevocable after Credit Suisse confirms a holder's offer for early redemption.

Because the Early Redemption Amount a holder will receive for each ETN will not be determined until the close of trading on the applicable Early Redemption Valuation Date, a holder will not know the applicable Early Redemption Amount at the time such holder exercises its redemption right and will bear the risk that its ETNs will decline in value between the time of such holder's exercise and the time at which the Early Redemption Amount is determined.

**Optional Acceleration**

On any Business Day on or after May 9, 2017, we have the right to accelerate all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding ETNs (an "**Optional Acceleration**"). Upon an Optional Acceleration, holders will be entitled to receive a cash payment per ETN in an amount (the "**Accelerated Redemption Amount**") equal to the arithmetic average, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the Closing Indicative Values of such ETNs during the Accelerated Valuation Period.

The "**Accelerated Valuation Period**" shall be a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days specified in our notice of Optional Acceleration, the first Trading Day of which shall be at least two (2) Business Days after the date on which we give notice of such Optional Acceleration. The Accelerated Redemption Amount will be payable on the third Business Day following the last Trading Day in the Accelerated Valuation Period (such payment date the "**Acceleration Date**"). We will give notice of any Optional Acceleration of the ETNs through customary channels used to deliver notices to holders of exchange traded notes. Any payment holders will be entitled to receive on the ETNs is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

**Market Disruption Events**

The Calculation Agent will be solely responsible for the determination and calculation of any adjustments to any Index Component and of any related determinations and calculations with respect to any event described below and its determinations and calculations will be conclusive absent manifest error.

A "**Market Disruption Event**" is:

(a) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the Index Components on the relevant exchange for such Index Component for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange;

------

(b) a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the relevant exchange for any Index Component, as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Index Component during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session on such relevant exchange are materially inaccurate;

(c) the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to any Index Component for more than two hours of trading during, or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session for such related exchange or market;

(d) a decision to permanently discontinue trading in those related futures or options contracts; or

(e) failure of the Index Calculation Agent to publish the level of the Index, including as a result of any disruption of the Index Components;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and in each case a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to effect transactions in the Index Component or any instrument related to the Index Component or to adjust or unwind all or a material portion of any hedge position in the Index Component with respect to the ETNs.

For the purpose of determining whether a market disruption event in respect of an Index Component has occurred:

(a) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a market disruption event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the relevant exchange for such Index Component or the primary related exchange or market for trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component;

(b) limitations pursuant to NYSE Rule 80B (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by the NYSE, any other U.S. self-regulatory organization, the SEC or any other relevant authority of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80B) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading; and

(c) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component by the primary related exchange or market for trading in such contracts, if available, by reason of:

(i) a price change exceeding limits set by such exchange or market;

(ii) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts; or

(iii) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts;

will, in each such case, constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to such Index Component; and

(d) a "suspension, absence or material limitation of trading" on the primary related exchange or market on which futures or options contracts related to such Index Component are traded will not include any time when such exchange or market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances;

in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion.

If the Calculation Agent determines that a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing on any Valuation Date, that Valuation Date will be postponed until the first Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing, unless a Market Disruption Event occurs or is continuing for each of the five (5) Trading Days following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date. In that case, the fifth Trading Day following the applicable scheduled Valuation Date shall be deemed to be the applicable Valuation Date, notwithstanding the fact that a Market Disruption Event occurred or was continuing on such Trading Day, and the Calculation Agent will determine the applicable Closing Indicative Value using an appropriate Closing Level of the Index on that deemed Valuation Date taking into account the nature and duration of such Market Disruption Event. If any Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period is postponed as described above, each subsequent Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period or Final Valuation Period will be postponed by the same number of Trading Days. In addition, if the Final Valuation Date, the Early Redemption Valuation Date or the last scheduled Valuation Date in the Accelerated Valuation Period is postponed, the Maturity Date, the corresponding Early Redemption Date or the Acceleration Date, as the case may be, will be postponed until the date three (3) Business Days following such Valuation Date, as postponed.

"**Valuation Date**" is any Trading Day in the Final Valuation Period or the Accelerated Valuation Period and any Early Redemption Valuation Date, as applicable.

**Default Amount on Acceleration**

For the purpose of determining whether the holders of our senior medium-term notes, of which the ETNs are a part, are entitled to take any action under the indenture, we will treat the stated principal amount of each ETN outstanding as the stated principal amount of that ETN. Although the terms of the ETNs may differ from those of the other senior medium-term notes, holders of specified percentages in stated principal amount of all senior medium-term notes, together in some cases with other series of our debt

------

securities, will be able to take action affecting all the senior medium-term notes, including the ETNs. This action may involve changing some of the terms that apply to the senior medium-term notes, accelerating the maturity of the senior medium-term notes after a default or waiving some of our obligations under the indenture.

In case an event of default with respect to ETNs shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable upon any acceleration of the ETNs will be determined by the Calculation Agent, and will equal, for each ETN that a holder then holds, the Closing Indicative Value determined by the Calculation Agent occurring on the Trading Day following the date on which the ETNs were declared due and payable.

**Further Issuances**

We may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the ETNs, create and issue additional securities having the same terms and conditions as the ETNs, and ranking on an equal basis with the ETNs in all respects.

**Discontinuation or Modification of the Index**

If the Index Sponsors discontinue publication of the Index and the Index Sponsors or anyone else publishes a substitute index that the Calculation Agent determines is comparable to the Index, then the Calculation Agent will permanently replace the original Index with that substitute index (the "**Successor Index**") for all purposes, and all provisions described herein as applying to the Index will thereafter apply to the Successor Index instead. If the Calculation Agent replaces the original Index with a Successor Index, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Early Redemption Amount, Accelerated Redemption Amount or Maturity Redemption Amount (each, a "**Redemption Amount**") and the Coupon Amount, as applicable, by reference to the Successor Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the publication of the Index is discontinued and there is no successor index, the Calculation Agent will determine the level of the Index, and thus the applicable Redemption Amount, by a computation methodology that the Calculation Agent determines will as closely as reasonably possible replicate the Index.

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Index, the Options or the method of calculating the Index is changed at any time in any respect, including whether the change is made by the Index Sponsors under their existing policies or following a modification of those policies, is due to the publication of a successor index, is due to events affecting the Reference Oil Shares or the Options, or is due to any other reason and is not otherwise reflected in the level of the Index by the Index Sponsors pursuant to the Index methodology, then the Calculation Agent will be permitted (but not required) to make such adjustments in the Index or the method of its calculation as it believes are appropriate to ensure that the Closing Level of the Index used to determine the applicable Redemption Amount is equitable.

**Manner of Payment and Delivery**

Any payment on or delivery of the ETNs at maturity will be made to accounts designated by holders and approved by us, or at the office of the trustee in New York City, but only when the ETNs are surrendered to the trustee at that office. We also may make any payment or delivery in accordance with the applicable procedures of the depositary.

**Role of the Calculation Agent**

Credit Suisse International ("**CSi**"), an affiliate of ours and the Calculation Agent, will, in its reasonable discretion, make certain calculations and determinations that may impact the Closing Indicative Value of the ETNs, including determination of the arithmetic average of the Closing Indicative Values where applicable, a split or reverse split of the ETNs, calculation of default amounts, Market Disruption Events, any Successor Index, Business Days and Trading Days, the Current Principal Amount, the Daily Investor Fee amount, the Daily Index Factor, the Coupon Amount, the Closing Level of the Index on any Trading Day, the Maturity Date, any Early Redemption Dates, the Acceleration Date, the amount payable in respect of a holder's ETNs at maturity or upon early redemption or acceleration and any other calculations or determinations to be made by the Calculation Agent as specified herein.

If the Calculation Agent ceases to perform its role, we will either, at our sole discretion, perform such role, appoint another party to do so or accelerate the ETNs.

We may appoint a different Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

------

**Role of the Index Calculation Agent**

We have appointed Nasdaq, Inc. as an Index Calculation Agent. The Index Calculation Agent will have the sole responsibility to calculate and disseminate the Closing Indicative Value and the Intraday Indicative Value of the ETNs. The Index Sponsors may appoint a different Index Calculation Agent from time to time without consent and without notifying holders.

General Terms of the ETNs

**Business Days**

The term "**Business Day**" means, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York and any other place of payment with respect to the applicable series of ETNs and is a day on which dealings in deposits in any currency specified in the applicable prospectus supplement are transacted, or with respect to any future date are expected to be transacted, in the London interbank market.

**Events of Default; Limitations on Suits**

**Events of Default**

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, an "**event of default**" with respect to a series of ETNs occurs upon:

■ a default in payment of the principal or any premium on any ETN of that series when due;

■ a default in payment of interest when due on any ETN of that series for 30 days;

■ a default in performing any other covenant in the Indenture for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or from the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding ETNs of such series; or

■ certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer.

Any additional or different events of default applicable to a particular series of ETNs will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.

The Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of ETNs of any default (except in the payment of principal, premium or interest) if it considers such withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders. A default is any event which is an event of default described above or would be an event of default but for the giving of notice or the passage of time.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if an event of default occurs and continues, the Trustee or the holders of the aggregate principal amount of the ETNs specified below may require the Issuer to repay immediately, or accelerate:

■ the entire principal of the ETNs of such series; or

■ if the ETNs are original issue discount securities, such portion of the principal as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if the event of default occurs because of a default in a payment of principal or interest on the ETNs, then the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of ETNs of that series can accelerate that series of ETNs. If the event of default occurs because of a failure to perform any other covenant in the Indenture for the benefit of one or more series of ETNs, then the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of ETNs of all series affected, voting as one class, can accelerate all of the affected series of ETNs. If the event of default occurs because of bankruptcy proceedings, then all of the ETNs under the Indenture will be accelerated automatically. Therefore, except in the case of a default on a payment of principal or interest on the ETNs of your series or a default due to bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer, it is possible that you may not be able to accelerate the ETNs of your series because of the failure of holders of other series to take action.

The holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the ETNs of all affected series, voting as one class, can rescind this accelerated payment requirement or waive any past default or event of default or allow noncompliance with any provision of the Indenture. However, they cannot waive a default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the ETNs.

After an event of default, the Trustee must exercise the same degree of care a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of her or his own affairs. Subject to these requirements, the Trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or

------

powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the Trustee reasonable indemnity. If they provide this reasonable indemnity, the holders of a majority in principal amount of all affected series of ETNs, voting as one class, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any power conferred upon the Trustee, for any series of ETNs.

We are required to furnish to the Trustee annually a brief certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture.

**Limitations on Suits**

The holders of any ETNs may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or such ETNs, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy, unless:

(a) such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to such ETNs;

(b) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such ETNs outstanding and affected will have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings with respect to such event of default in its own name as Trustee;

(c) such holder or holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding;

(e) during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such ETNs outstanding and affected have not given the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request.

**Consolidation, Merger or Sale**

The Issuer has agreed in the Indenture not to consolidate with or merge with or into any other person or convey or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person unless:

■ it is the continuing person; or

■ the successor expressly assumes by supplemental indenture its obligations under the Indenture.

In either case, the Issuer will also have to deliver a certificate to the Trustee stating that after giving effect to the merger there will not be any defaults under the Indenture and, if the Issuer is not the continuing person, an opinion of counsel stating that the merger and the supplemental indentures comply with these provisions and that the supplemental indentures are legal, valid and binding obligations of the successor corporation enforceable against it.

Credit Suisse or Credit Suisse Group may issue ETNs directly or through one or more branches and Credit Suisse may, at any time, transfer its obligations under the ETNs from the head office to any branch of Credit Suisse or from any branch of Credit Suisse to another branch or to its head office.

**Modification of the Indenture**

In general, rights and obligations of the Issuer and the holders under the Indenture may be modified if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding ETNs of each series affected by the modification consent to such modification. However, the Indenture provides that, unless each affected holder agrees, an amendment cannot:

■ make any adverse change to any payment term of an ETN such as extending the maturity date, extending the date on which the Issuer has to pay interest or make a sinking fund payment, reducing the interest rate, reducing the amount of principal the Issuer has to repay, reducing the amount of principal of an ETN issued with original issue discount that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity thereof or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, changing the currency or place in which the Issuer has to make any payment of principal, premium or interest, modifying any redemption or repurchase right to the detriment of the holder, modifying any right to convert or exchange the ETNs for another security to the detriment of the holder, and impairing any right of a holder to bring suit for payment;

■ reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of ETNs needed to make any amendment to the Indenture or to waive any covenant or default;

■ waive any payment default; or

■ make any change to the amendment provisions of the Indenture.

However, other than in the circumstances mentioned above, if the Issuer and the Trustee agree, the Indenture may be amended without notifying any holders or seeking their consent if the amendment does not materially and adversely affect any holder.

------

In particular, if the Issuer and the Trustee agree, the Indenture may be amended without notifying any holders or seeking their consent to add a guarantee from a third party on the outstanding and future ETNs to be issued under the Indenture.

**Governing Law**

Unless specified otherwise, the ETNs and Indenture will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations**

Our ETNs should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts or prepaid financial contracts that are not debt instruments. Under this treatment, no original issue discount ("**OID**") will be accrued on our ETNs. However, the Internal Revenue Service might assert that any of our ETNs should be treated as debt instruments subject to the special tax rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. In that event, U.S. holders of the ETNs would be required to accrue OID over the term of the ETNs based upon the yield at which we would issue a non-contingent fixed-rate debt instrument with other terms and conditions similar to the applicable ETNs.
