Credit Suisse Group Extraordinary General Meeting
-------------------------------------------------
Shareholders approve all proposals
Zurich, 29 September 2000 - Credit Suisse Group's shareholders have approved all
the proposals put before them by the Board of Directors at the company's
Extraordinary General Meeting. The main topics at the meeting were the
acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, and the expansion of Credit Suisse
Group's employee participation scheme.
In connection with the acquisition of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ), which
was announced at the end of August 2000, Credit Suisse Group's Board of
Directors proposed to the Extraordinary General Meeting of 29 September 2000
that it create a maximum of CHF 600 million of approved capital. The board also
proposed the creation of a maximum of CHF 240 million of conditional capital to
facilitate the exchange of existing DLJ employee share options into Credit
Suisse Group share options. The extent to which this conditional capital will be
used depends on how many options are exercised prior to the completion of the
transaction. Both proposals were approved with large majorities.
The acquisition price for DLJ, before addressing the DLJ employee stock options,
comes to CHF 19.7 billion. Approximately half of the acquisition price will be
paid for in cash, and half in shares. The cash portion of the
<PAGE>
acquisition price will increase in line with the amount of options exercised.
With reference to the planned expansion of the employee participation scheme,
the General Meeting also approved an increase in the existing conditional
capital from the current CHF 120 million to a maximum of CHF 240 million.
