11 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.

6. 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.

newly issued shares, net of issuing costs of CHF 17.9 m (1995/96: CHF 9.0 m).

8. 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.
