Foreach ETN, the Current Yield equals the Coupon Amount, annualized and divided by the Closing Indicative Value, as discussed in more detailbelow. The Current Yield, which is based on an ETN’s Coupon Amount and its two most recent coupon payments, is not indicative offuture coupon payments, if any, on the ETNs. In particular, future coupon payments on an ETN may differ significantly from its CurrentYield, if its Closing Indicative Value fluctuates widely in a volatile market. You are not guaranteed any coupon payment or distributionunder the ETNs. Coupon payments for the ETNs (if any) are variable and do not represent fixed, periodic interest payments. The CouponAmount for any ETN may vary significantly from coupon period to coupon period and may be zero. Accordingly, the Current Yield will changeover time, and such change may be significant. Any payment on the ETNs is subject to Credit Suisse’s ability to pay its obligationsas they become due. For more information regarding any ETN's coupon payments, please refer to such ETN's pricing supplement. | Media Release || --- || August 6, 2021<br><br> <br>Page 2/3 |2.

On July 12, 2021, the Credit SuisseNasdaq Gold FLOWS^TM^ 103 Index, the Credit Suisse Nasdaq Silver FLOWS^TM^ 106 Index and the Credit Suisse Nasdaq WTICrude Oil FLOWS^TM^ 106 Index (the “Indices”) concluded the notional sale of options on GLD shares, SLV shares andUSO shares, respectively, with August 2021 expiration. We expect that the notional cash distribution generated by this sale of optionswill be withdrawn from the Indices on August 16, 2021, subject to adjustment in the event of any market disruption events. Assuming noredemption or acceleration of GLDI, SLVO and USOI, and that the notional cash distribution is withdrawn from the Indices on August 16,2021, we expect to declare a Coupon Amount for GLDI, SLVO and USOI, respectively, equal to the corresponding Expected Coupon Amount.The Expected Coupon Amount is subject to change upon the occurrence of a disruption event or other unforeseen circumstances.4.
