DISCLAIMER
In connection with the private placement of the registered shares, Credit
Suisse AG will be acting as stabilisation manager (the "Stabilisation
Manager") and may undertake measures aiming at supporting the stock
exchange price or market price of the registered shares for a predetermined
period of time due to selling pressure in those securities (the
"Stabilisation"). The Stabilisation Manager is under no obligation to
engage in any Stabilisation and, accordingly, there is no assurance that
Stabilisation will be undertaken. If Stabilisation is undertaken, it may be
discontinued at any time without prior notice. Stabilisation may be carried
out as from the date the final placement price of the registered shares is
adequately publicly disclosed and will end no later than 30 calendar days
after the first trading day of the new registered shares on SIX Swiss
Exchange. As a result of such Stabilisation measures, the market price of
the registered shares may be higher than would otherwise prevail in the
market. Stabilisation may also result in a market price at a level that is
not sustainable in the long-term. Any Stabilisation will be carried out in
accordance with art. 55 e of the Swiss Federal Ordinance on Stock Exchanges
and Securities Trading (SESTO) and will not be conducted at a price
exceeding the price at which the registered shares are sold in the private
placement. Save as required by law or regulation, neither Credit Suisse AG
nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments
made and/or Stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the private
placement.
This announcement does not constitute (i) an offering prospectus, and no
securities will be offered directly or indirectly to the public, within the
meaning of Art. 652a of the Swiss Code of Obligations, (ii) a listing
prospectus within the meaning of the SIX Swiss Exchange Listing Rules, nor
(iii) a prospectus within the meaning of the EC Directive 2003/71/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council dated November 4, 2003 (the
"Prospectus Directive").
This announcement is only addressed to, and is only directed at, qualified
investors in any member state of the European Economic Area within the
meaning of the Prospectus Directive ("Qualified Investors").
The registered shares that are the subject of the placement are not being
offered or sold to any person in the United Kingdom, other than to
qualified investors as defined in Section 86(7) of the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000, being persons falling within Article 2.1(E)(i), (ii)
or (iii) of Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the
Council dated 4 November 2003 (Prospectus Directive), which includes legal
entities which are regulated by the Financial Services Authority and
entities which are not so regulated whose corporate purpose is solely to
invest in securities and who also fall within the definition of "Investment
Professionals" in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act
2000 (Financial Promotions) Order 2005 (the "FPO") and high net worth
entities falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the FPO.
