Media Release

Credit Suisse AG Announces Noticeof Acceleration of its Previously Delisted VelocityShares**^TM^ 3xInverse Crude Oil ETNs and VelocityShares^TM^ 3xLong Crude Oil ETNs**

New York April 28, 2020 CreditSuisse AG (“Credit Suisse”) announced today that it has provided notice to accelerate its 3x Inverse Crude Oil ETNs(“DWTIF”) and 3x Long Crude Oil ETNs (“UWTIF”) (together, the “ETNs”), each of which was previouslydelisted from the NYSE Arca in 2016.

The ETNs were originally listed on the NYSE Arca, but were delisted in 2016. Concurrent with such delisting, Credit Suisse also suspended further issuances of the ETNs. Following the delisting from the NYSE Arca, the ETNs traded on an over-the-counter basis.

As described in the related pricing supplement for the ETNs (the “Pricing Supplement”), Credit Suisse, as the issuer of the ETNs, may, at its option, accelerate all issued and outstanding ETNs on any business day after the inception date. Credit Suisse delivered notice of the acceleration of the ETNs via the Depository Trust Company on April 28, 2020. The acceleration date is expected to be May 11, 2020.

On April 2, 2020, with respect to DWTIF, and on April 21, 2020, with respect to UWTIF, Credit Suisse announced that the intraday indicative value of the ETNs on such respective dates was equal to or less than $0. As disclosed in the Pricing Supplement, because the intraday indicative value of DWTIF and UWTIF was equal to or less than $0, their respective closing indicative value on all future days is $0. Accordingly, because under the terms of the ETNs the amount of any payment due to holders at maturity, upon early redemption or upon acceleration is determined by reference to the closing indicative value of the ETNs, holders of DWTIF and UWTIF will not receive anypayment on the ETNs in connection with this acceleration.

None of the other ETNs offered by Credit Suisse are affected by this announcement.
