Introduction

General

This report as of March 31, 2023 is based on the Circular 2016/1 "Disclosure - banks" (FINMA circular) issued by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA (FINMA).

This report is produced and published quarterly, in accordance with FINMA requirements. The reporting frequency for each disclosure requirement is either annual, semi-annual or quarterly. This document should be read in conjunction with the Pillar 3 and regulatory disclosures - Credit Suisse Group AG 4Q22, the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2022 and the Credit Suisse Earnings Release 1Q23, which include important information on regulatory capital and risk management (specific references have been made herein to these documents) and regulatory developments and proposals.

Credit Suisse Group is the highest consolidated entity to which the FINMA circular applies.

These disclosures were verified and approved internally in line with our board-approved policy on disclosure controls and procedures. The level of internal control processes for these disclosures is similar to those applied to the Group's quarterly and annual financial reports. This report has not been audited by the Group's external auditors.

For certain prescribed table formats where line items have zero balances, such line items have not been presented.

Other regulatory disclosures

In connection with the implementation of Basel III, certain regulatory disclosures for the Group and certain of its subsidiaries are required. The Group's Pillar 3 disclosure, regulatory disclosures, additional information on capital instruments, including the main features of regulatory capital instruments and total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC)-eligible instruments that form part of the eligible capital base and TLAC resources, global systemically important bank (G-SIB) financial indicators, reconciliation requirements, leverage ratios and certain liquidity disclosures as well as regulatory disclosures for subsidiaries can be found on our website.

Regulatory developments

In November 2022, the Swiss Federal Council enacted the revised Bank Law and the revised Banking Ordinance, as well as certain other revised ordinances, effective as of January 1, 2023. Among other things, the revision included certain amendments to the Banking Ordinance and the Capital Adequacy Ordinance under which the rebate system on certain capital requirements is replaced by an incentive system. As of January 1, 2023, in accordance with the revised Capital Adequacy Ordinance, the former rebates for resolvability are not applicable and the gone concern capital requirements for the Group and the Bank are reduced from 100% to 75% of the going concern capital requirements, including applicable surcharge requirements for the Group's market share and leverage exposure, subject to a floor of 10% for the risk-weighted assets (RWA) ratio and 3.75% for the leverage ratio. This results in a gone concern requirement of 10.185% for the RWA ratio and 3.75% for the leverage ratio. Going forward, FINMA will have the ability to impose additional requirements if resolvability criteria are not met. Systemically important banks operating internationally must submit the documentation on the measures prepared or implemented to meet the resolvability criteria for the first time by the end of June 2024. Accordingly, higher gone concern requirements could be imposed by FINMA after such submission.

Other developments

On March 19, 2023, the Group and UBS Group AG entered into a merger agreement following the intervention of the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, the Swiss National Bank and FINMA.

> Refer to "Credit Suisse and UBS to merge" in Credit Suisse - Other information in the Credit Suisse Earnings Release 1Q23 for further information.

In addition, FINMA ordered that the Group's outstanding amount of additional tier 1 capital notes of nominal value of approximately CHF 16 billion and a fair value of approximately CHF 15 billion be written down to zero. This led to a corresponding gain recognized in 1Q23 of CHF 15,007 million.

Risk-weighted assets

Overview

With the adoption of the revised FINMA circular, RWA presented in this report, including prior period comparisons, are based on the Swiss capital requirements.

> Refer to "Swiss requirements" (pages 116 to 118) in III - Treasury, Risk, Balance sheet and Off-balance sheet - Capital management - Regulatory framework in the Credit Suisse Annual Report 2022 for further information on Swiss capital requirements.

The following table provides an overview of total Swiss RWA forming the denominator of the risk-based capital requirements.

RWA of CHF 243.8 billion as of the end of 1Q23 decreased 3% compared to CHF 251.0 billion as of the end of 4Q22, mainly due to movements in risk levels and a negative foreign exchange impact. The movements in risk levels were primarily due to reduced secured financing, securitizations and derivatives exposures in credit risk and de-risking of our securitized products portfolio in market risk, primarily in the Capital Release Unit.

RWA flow statements for credit risk, counterparty credit risk (CCR) and market risk are presented below.

Risk-weighted assets flow statements

Credit risk and counterparty credit risk

The following table presents the definitions of the RWA flow statements components for credit risk and CCR.

Definition of risk-weighted assets movement components related to credit risk and CCR
Description	Definition
Asset size	Represents changes on the portfolio size arising in the ordinary course of business (including new businesses). Asset size also includes movements arising from the application of the comprehensive approach with regard to the treatment of financial collateral
Asset quality/credit quality of counterparties	Represents changes in average risk weighting across credit risk classes
Model and parameter updates	Represents movements arising from internally driven or externally mandated updates to models and recalibrations of model parameters specific only to Credit Suisse
Methodology and policy changes	Represents movements arising from externally mandated regulatory methodology and policy changes to accounting and exposure classification and treatment policies not specific only to Credit Suisse
Acquisitions and disposals	Represents changes in book sizes due to acquisitions and disposals of entities
Foreign exchange impact	Represents changes in exchange rates of the transaction currencies compared to the Swiss franc
Other	Represents changes that cannot be attributed to any other category

Credit risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 1Q23 flow statement explaining the variations in the credit risk RWA determined under an internal ratings-based (IRB) approach.

CR8 - Risk-weighted assets flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB
	1Q23
CHF million
Risk-weighted assets at beginning of period	93,395
Asset size	(1,055)
Asset quality	(409)
Model and parameter updates	1,789
Foreign exchange impact	(364)
Risk-weighted assets at end of period	93,356
Includes RWA related to the A-IRB approach and supervisory slotting approach.

Credit risk RWA under IRB of CHF 93.4 billion were stable compared to the end of 4Q22. This was primarily driven by decrease in movement in asset size risk levels, a negative foreign exchange impact and further due to improvement in book quality. These reductions were offset by an increase in model and parameter updates mainly reflecting the last phase-in of regulatory buffer as per FINMA approval of retail to corporate treatment and the income producing real estate model update for private and corporate clients.

Counterparty credit risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 1Q23 flow statement explaining the variations in the CCR RWA determined under the internal model method (IMM) for CCR (derivatives and SFTs).

CCR7 - Risk-weighted assets flow statements of CCR exposures under IMM
	1Q23
CHF million
Risk-weighted assets at beginning of period	7,518
Asset size	(1,539)
Credit quality of counterparties	22
Model and parameter updates	(118)
Foreign exchange impact	(82)
Risk-weighted assets at end of period	5,801

CCR RWA under IMM decreased CHF 1.7 billion to CHF 5.8 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, primarily driven by decreases in asset size risk levels attributable to the expiration of trades and exposures reductions across over-the-counter derivatives and securities financing business. Further reduction was created by the negative foreign exchange impact, mainly due to the US dollar depreciating 1.33% over the quarter against the Swiss franc.

Market risk

The following table presents the definitions of the RWA flow statements components for market risk.

Definitions of risk-weighted assets movement components related to market risk
Description	Definition
RWA as of the end of the previous/current reporting periods	Represents RWA at quarter-end
Regulatory adjustment	Indicates the difference between RWA and RWA (end of day) at beginning and end of period
RWA as of the previous/current quarters end (end of day)	For a given component (e.g., VaR) it refers to the RWA that would be computed if the snapshot quarter end amount of the component determines the quarter end RWA, as opposed to a 60-day average for regulatory
Movement in risk levels	Represents movements due to position changes
Model and parameter updates	Represents movements arising from internally driven or externally mandated updates to models and recalibrations of model parameters specific only to Credit Suisse
Methodology and policy changes	Represents movements arising from externally mandated regulatory methodology and policy changes to accounting and exposure classification and treatment policies not specific only to Credit Suisse
Acquisitions and disposals	Represents changes in book sizes due to acquisitions and disposals of entities
Foreign exchange impact	Represents changes in exchange rates of the transaction currencies compared to the Swiss franc
Other	Represents changes that cannot be attributed to any other category

Market risk RWA movements

The following table presents the 1Q23 flow statement explaining the variations in the market risk RWA determined under an internal models approach (IMA).

Risk-weighted assets at end of period	2,152		3,085		1,289		3,330		9,856
1 Risks not in VaR.

Market risk RWA under an IMA decreased CHF 3.4 billion to CHF 9.9 billion compared to the end of 4Q22, primarily due to decreases in regulatory VaR and stressed VaR reflecting a decrease in average risk levels, mainly due to de-risking of our securitized products portfolio within the Capital Release Unit.
