         This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on September 8, 2000 (the "Schedule TO") by
Diamond Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, a corporation organized under
the laws of Switzerland ("CSG"). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by
Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of the series
designated Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc.-DLJ Common Stock, par value $.10
per share (the "Shares"), of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), at a purchase price of $90.00 per Share, net to the
seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase dated September 8, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the
related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase and
any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer").
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Item 1.  Summary Term Sheet

         Question No. 4 of the Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Purchase is
hereby amended and restated as follows:

                  "Have You Entered into any Agreements with the Company's
Principal Stockholders?

                  o   We have entered into a stock purchase agreement with the
                      principal stockholders of the Company pursuant to which
                      the principal stockholders have agreed to sell to us the
                      shares of common stock owned by them, representing
                      approximately 71% of the currently outstanding shares of
                      common stock of the Company, for cash and Credit Suisse
                      Group shares. Please see Section 10."

Item 4.  Terms of the Transaction

         Item 4 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to include
the following information:

         Section 2.   Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares.

                  The first paragraph of this section on page 11 of the Offer to
Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

                  "Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer
(including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any
such extension or amendment), Purchaser will accept for payment all Shares
validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4) prior
to the Expiration Date promptly after the occurrence of the Expiration Date.
Purchaser will pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly
after the Expiration Date following the acceptance of Shares for payment
pursuant to the Offer. If Shares are not accepted for any reason, Purchaser will
promptly after the Expiration Date return such Shares. All
<PAGE>


conditions to the Offer, other than the Antitrust Condition, will be satisfied
or waived prior to the Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and
subject to applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the terms of
the Merger Agreement, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay payment
for Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws. See
Sections 1 and 15."

                  The third paragraph of this section on page 12 of the Offer to
Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

                  "CSG notified the Commission of the European Union of the
Offer on September 11, 2000 pursuant to the EC Merger Regulation, Council
Regulation (EEC) No. 4064/89 (the "EC Merger Regulation"). Purchaser will be
barred from consummating the Offer until the Transactions have been declared
compatible with the European Union common market by the Commission of the
European Union or the Commission of the European Union has failed to make a
decision by October 11, 2000. Consequently, the Offer may be consummated after
the one month period, unless the Commission of the European Union determines the
Transactions may not be compatible with the European Union common market, in
which case an in-depth investigation would commence. From the date the
Commission of the European Union determines to commence an in-depth
investigation, it has four months to render a decision on the merits of a
transaction. Purchaser expects that it will extend the Offer until October 11,
2000 in order to comply with the EC Merger Regulation."

         Section 14.  Certain Conditions of the Offer.

                  The final paragraph of this section on page 35 of the Offer to
Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

                  "The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of
Purchaser and CSG and may be asserted by Purchaser or CSG regardless of the
circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by Purchaser or
CSG in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole
discretion. The failure by CSG or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the
foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right; the waiver of
any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances will not
be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances; and each
such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and
from time to time. All conditions to the Offer, other than the Antitrust
Condition, will be satisfied or waived prior to the Expiration Date."

Item 11.  Additional Information

                  Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented
to include the following information:

         Section 15.  Certain Legal Matters and Regulatory Approvals;
Transaction with Company Director

                  This third paragraph of this section on page 37 of the Offer
to Purchase is amended and restated as follows:

                  "CSG and AXA notified the Commission of the European Union of
the Offer on September 11, 2000 pursuant to the EC Merger Regulation. Purchaser
will be barred from consummating the Offer until the Transactions have been
declared compatible with the European Union common market by the Commission of
the European Union or the Commission of the European Union has failed to make a
decision by October 11, 2000. The receipt of approval by the Commission of the
European Union or the expiration of the one month period is a condition to the
Offer. Purchaser expects that it will extend the Offer until October 11, 2000 in
order to comply with the EC Merger Regulation. See Section 1 and Section 14."

         Section 16.  Certain Litigation.

                  This section on page 38 of the Offer to Purchase is amended
and restated as follows:

                  "After the announcement of the Offer, three putative class
actions were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for
New Castle County.

                  One was filed on August 30, 2000 and the second was filed on
August 31, 2000. The named plaintiffs in both of these actions are allegedly
stockholders of the Company who purport to represent classes consisting of all
stockholders of the Company. The defendants in both actions are the Company and
the members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The complaints allege that
the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties to the Company stockholders
by structuring the Offer such that certain employees will receive undue
compensation. The plaintiffs seek certification of their classes, relinquishment
of the compensation to be paid to the employees and attorneys' fees and costs.

                  The third putative class action was filed on September 12,
2000. The named plaintiffs are allegedly holders of shares of the series of
common stock designated Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette - DLJdirect Common Stock
("DLJdirect Common Stock") who

<PAGE>


purport to represent a class consisting of all holders of shares of DLJdirect
Common Stock. The defendants are the Company, AXA Financial, Inc. and the
Company Board. This complaint alleges that the defendants have breached their
fiduciary duties to the holders of shares of DLJdirect Common Stock by
structuring the transaction so that the individual defendants benefit directly
and disproportionately from the transaction while precluding the plaintiffs from
profiting from it at all. The plaintiffs seek certification of their class,
damages and attorneys' fees and costs."
