Credit Suisse plans to issue up to $100 million of the notes from time to time. The initial tranche priced at par on Oct. 14. This second tranche priced at 80.8. The issuer has priced $5.5 million principal amount of notes so far.

The closing indicative value will never be less than zero. If the intraday indicative value of the notes is less than or equal to zero at any time or the closing indicative value is equal to zero, the closing indicative value of the notes on that day and on all following days will be zero.
The daily ETN performance equals (a) one plus (b) the daily accrual plus (c) (i) the index return on that day times (ii) two. The daily accrual is the rate of interest that could be earned on a notional capital reinvestment at the 91-day U.S. Treasury rate.
