New York, November 25, 2002 – CSFB, together with other holders of notes issued by affiliates of National Century Financial Enterprises, Inc. (“NCFE”), suffered losses as a result of what appears to be massive fraud at NCFE. It is increasingly apparent that NCFE and its officers deliberately misled CSFB and other investors. CSFB intends to assess the situation as information develops related to NCFE, its officers and directors, and others, and will vigorously pursue those responsible for these losses.

CSFB currently holds for its own account notes issued by affiliates of NCFE in the principal amount of approximately US$258 million. The Firm also acted as placement agent for many of the notes issued by affiliates of NCFE. Following the Monday, November 18, 2002, bankruptcy filing by NCFE and based on the information available at this time, the Firm has decided to write down its NCFE holdings to approximately US$44 million, or to 17% of the principal amount. The Firm continues to monitor the situation closely and, if appropriate, will make adjustments as more complete information becomes available.
