Only the ETNs listed in the table above are affected by this announcement. For purposes of this announcement, the VelocitySharesTM3x Long Natural Gas ETNs linked to the S&P GSCI®Natural Gas Index ER dueFebruary 9, 2032and the VelocitySharesTM3x Inverse Natural Gas ETNs linked to the S&P GSCI®Natural Gas Index ER dueFebruary 9, 2032, which are both listed on the NYSE Arca, shall be referred to as the "NYSE ETNs". The remainder of the ETNs listed in the table above, which are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, shall be referred to as the "Nasdaq ETNs".

As part of its continuing effort to monitor and manage its suite of exchange traded notes, Credit Suisse AG has decided to delist the foregoing ETNs with a view to better align its product suite with its broader strategic growth plans.  Accordingly, Credit Suisse AG anticipates that (x) the NYSE ETNs will continue to trade on NYSE Arca up to and includingJuly 10, 2020and (y) the Nasdaq ETNs will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market up to and includingJuly 2, 2020. The delisting of the ETNs will become effective onJuly 12, 2020.  In addition, Credit Suisse AG will suspend further issuances of the NYSE ETNs effectiveJune 22, 2020, and will suspend further issuances of the Nasdaq ETNs effectiveJuly 3, 2020.

Following their delisting, the ETNs will remain outstanding, though they will no longer trade on any national securities exchange.  The ETNs may trade, if at all, on an over-the-counter basis.  Although it is not currently accelerating the ETNs at its option, Credit Suisse AG continues to have the right to do so, as described in the pricing supplement for the ETNs (the "Pricing Supplement"), and may choose to accelerate the ETNs at its option in the future, either together on the same date or each on a separate date, including shortly after the delisting.  Subject to the minimum redemption amount and other conditions, investors can continue to exercise their early redemption right with respect to the ETNs prior to, and following, the ETNs' delisting, pursuant to the terms of the ETNs as described in the Pricing Supplement. If investors wish to exercise their early redemption right, they and their broker must follow the procedures set forth in the Pricing Supplement, which can be accessed on the Securities and Exchange Commission website atwww.sec.govas follows:

As disclosed in the Risk Factors section of the Pricing Supplement, the market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among other things, the levels of actual and expected supply and demand for the ETNs in the secondary market.  It is possible that this announcement and the delisting and suspension of further issuances of the ETNs, as described above, may influence the market value of the ETNs.  For example, delisting the ETNs will remove the primary source of liquidity for the ETNs and investors may not be able to sell their ETNs in the secondary market at all.  In addition, suspending further issuances of the ETNs may further adversely affect liquidity for any secondary market that may develop following a delisting.  Credit Suisse AG cannot predict with certainty what impact, if any, these events will have on the public trading price of the ETNs.  Investors are cautioned that paying a premium purchase price over the indicative value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses.  An investor that pays a premium for the ETNs, for example, may suffer significant losses if the investor is unable to sell the ETNs in the secondary market, if the investor sells at a time when the premium has declined or is no longer present or if Credit Suisse AG accelerates the ETNs at its option.  Even if investors do not pay a premium over the indicative value of the ETNs, investors could still suffer substantial losses because of the illiquidity associated in the secondary market.  For instance, investors may not be able to sell the ETNs readily and may suffer substantial losses and/or sell the ETNs at prices substantially less than their intraday indicative value or closing indicative value, including being unable to sell them at all or only sell them for a price of zero in the secondary market.
