1 AUTHORISED AND CONDITIONAL CAPITAL

AUTHORISED CAPITAL

Credit Suisse Group no longer holds any authorised capital.

CONDITIONAL CAPITAL

On 4 June 1992, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders approved the creation of conditional capital which would allow the share capital to be

lifted by up to CHF 250,000,000 through the issuance of a maximum of 500,000 bearer shares having a par value of CHF 500 each.

This conditional capital secures the conversion and warrant rights of future holders of bonds issued by either Credit Suisse Group or one of

its Group companies.

On 12 November 1992, the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group voted to allow 300,000 of these shares of CHF 500 par

value (equivalent to 7,500,000 registered shares of CHF 20 par value) to be used to secure the conversion rights attached to the

USD 500,000,000 in 4 7/8% subordinated convertible bonds issued by CS Holding Finance B.V., due 2002. By 31 March 1997, bonds

amounting to USD 451,055,000 had been converted into 6,765,825 registered shares with a par value of CHF 20 each, and the

corresponding shares issued. The total par value of the remaining 734,175 registered shares – par value CHF 20 each – in respect of this

conditional capital, which had not been issued, was CHF 14,683,500.

On 8 July 1993, the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse Group approved the use of a further 200,000 of these bearer shares of

CHF 500 par value (equivalent to 5,000,000 registered shares of CHF 20 par value) to secure the warrant rights attached to the

CHF 500,000,000 in 2 1/4% warrant bonds issued by Credit Suisse Group in 1993, which are due in 2001. By 31 March 1997, warrants

for 4,998,845 registered shares of CHF 20 par value had been exercised and the corresponding shares issued. The remaining conditional

capital has lapsed.

On 29 May 1995 the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders approved the creation of conditional capital which would allow the

share capital to be lifted by up to CHF 250,000,000 through the issuance of a maximum of 12,500,000 registered shares with a par value

of CHF 20 each. This conditional capital secures the conversion and warrant rights of future holders of bonds or similar debt securities

issued by Credit Suisse Group or one of its Group companies. By 31 March no warrant or conversion rights had been assigned by the Board

of Directors.

At the Annual Meeting held on 30 May 1994, the shareholders approved the creation of conditional capital which would allow the

share capital to be lifted by up to CHF 60,000,000 through the issuance of a maximum of 3,000,000 registered shares having a par value

of CHF 20 each. This conditional capital serves to secure the subscription rights of staff of Credit Suisse Group and its Group companies.

By 31 March 1997, subscription rights for 1,474,963 shares to the value of CHF 29,499,260 had been exercised and the corresponding

shares issued. The total par value of the remaining 1,525,037 registered shares – par value CHF 20 each – in respect of this conditional

capital, which had not been issued, amounted to CHF 30,500,740.

The table on page 62 shows the changes that have taken place in the company’s share capital and how the authorised and conditional

capital has been employed.

AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CREDIT SUISSE GROUP ON CONDITIONAL CAPITAL INCREASES

As auditors of your company we examined, in accordance with Article 653f of the Swiss Code of Obligations, the issuance of share capital

for the period from 1 April 1996 to 31 March 1997 in accordance with Swiss law, the company’s Articles of Association and the decision

taken by the Annual Meeting of Shareholders dated 4 June 1992. Based on our examinations we conclude that the issuance of 6,390,720

registered shares with par value per share of CHF 20 and an aggregate par value of CHF 127,814,400 is in agreement with Swiss law, the

company’s Articles of Association and the respective prospectuses.

Our examinations were conducted in accordance with professionally accepted auditing standards in Switzerland. We confirm that we

meet the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.

REPORT OF THE STATUTORY AUDITORS TO THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF CREDIT SUISSE GROUP, ZURICH

As statutory auditors, we have audited the accounting records and the financial statements (profit and loss account, balance sheet and

notes) of Credit Suisse Group for the year ended 31 March 1997.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these finan-

cial statements based on our audit. We confirm that we meet the legal requirements concerning professional qualification and independence.

Our audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards promulgated by the Swiss profession, which require that an audit be

planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. We have

examined on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We have also assessed the account-

ing principles used, significant estimates made and the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reason-

able basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the accounting records, financial statements and the proposed appropriation of retained earnings comply with Swiss law

and the company’s Articles of Association. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.

INFORMATION FOR INVESTORS

As of 19 June 1995, Credit Suisse Group (formerly CS Holding), has a unified share structure, consisting of only registered shares. A brief

overview of registration procedures and voting rights under the unified share structure follows:

Registration. In order to register with full voting power for any number of shares, purchasers of shares must submit an application stating

that the shares have been acquired in own name and for own account.

Persons who do not specifically state that the shares are being held for own account will be registered as Nominees. Nominees will

be granted full voting power for a number of shares not exceeding 2% of the total outstanding share capital. In excess of this limit, voting

rights will be granted upon disclosure of the beneficial owner of shares representing 0.5% or more of the total outstanding share capital.

Voting (and notification). Registered shareholders and their appointed proxies will have, in principle, full voting power. Nominees may

not vote shares representing more than 2% of the total outstanding share capital, unless they disclose the beneficial owners of shares

representing 0.5% or more of the total outstanding share capital and comply with the registration requirements. Upon attaining the threshold

of ownership of 5, 10, 20, 331/3, 50 or 66 2/3% of the total registered share capital, purchasers of shares must disclose the number of

shares acquired and the beneficial owners within 30 days.

For full details, we refer to the Article of Association of Credit Suisse Group which are available to shareholders upon request.

As of 31 December 1996, no single shareholder held more than 5% of total outstanding shares.
