Forward-looking statements

This Form 6-K and the information incorporated by reference in this Form 6-K include statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. In addition, in the future Credit Suisse Group and others on its behalf may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements.

Legal proceedings

The Group is involved in a number of judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses. Some of these actions have been brought on behalf of various classes of claimants and seek damages of material and/or indeterminate amounts. The Group believes, based on currently available information and advice of counsel, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition but might be material to operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Information on the Group’s legal proceedings is set forth in Note 23 – Litigation in V – Condensed consolidated financial statements – unaudited in the Credit Suisse Financial Report 1Q08.

A putative class action was filed on April 21, 2008 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York against Credit Suisse and certain executives by certain holders of American Depositary Receipts and shares alleging violations of Sections 10 and 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. Plaintiffs in this action allege that Credit Suisse’s stock price was artificially inflated as a result of allegedly misleading disclosures relating to the company’s business and financial results.
