On or about July 24, 2012, the Financial Release for 2Q12 of Credit Suisse, which will include additional disclosure, will be published and filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to “Credit Suisse Group”, “Credit Suisse,” “the Group,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean Credit Suisse Group AG and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “the Bank” means Credit Suisse AG, the Swiss bank subsidiary of the Group, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
References herein to “CHF” are to Swiss francs.
This report on Form 6-K (including the exhibits hereto) is hereby incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (file no. 333-180300) and the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (file no. 333-101259).
The information in the Exhibit hereto contains information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. The Group's independent registered public accounting firm has not completed its review of the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and the Group has not finalized its financial reporting for the period. Accordingly, such financial information is subject to completion of quarter-end procedures which may result in changes to that information.

In addition, in the future the Group, the Bank and others on its or their behalf may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements.
When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information, the risk factors and other information set forth in the Group’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011, and subsequent annual reports on Form 20-F filed by the Group with the SEC and the Group’s and Bank’s reports on Form 6-K furnished to or filed with the SEC, and other uncertainties and events.
