Introduction

The Credit Suisse Healthcare team is delighted to invite you to the 2014 Healthcare Conference that takes place November 10th-13th in Arizona. We have over 125 high quality public companies scheduled to participate. Registration is now open!
                                 
The Healthcare sector is in the middle of delivering another strong year of performance in 2014, leading all major indices. The sector continues to benefit from a combination of improving R&D pipelines, incremental benefits from the Affordable Care Act, and an improving macro-economy. Despite a large variation in growth out-looks for the various healthcare sub-sectors, the stability and longevity of strong free cash flows continue to attract an increasingly broad range of investors in the current low rate environment. 2014 also marks the one of the strongest healthcare IPO markets in over a decade.

We aim to focus our conference to address the complex challenges facing healthcare investors. Your feedback continues to mold our 2 ½ day conference, both in what we change and what we maintain. Our top priority remains quality participating companies and quality interactions with these companies. Our aim is to provide an exclusive opportunity for our clients to see management up close in a combination of forums. In addition to the standard company presentations and breakouts, we will hold 1:1 meetings throughout the conference. In terms of group meetings, we have expanded our dine-around to three nights and will be continuing group breakfast and lunch meetings this year to help increase interactions with management. We supplement the corporate access with panels and presenters to address the pressing issues in the marketplace. This year we are excited to return to the Biltmore in Phoenix, and we hope you find the venue productive and enjoyable. We know it is a large commitment to travel to a destination, but we believe the forum will enhance your ability to focus on a broad list of key issues in a short period of time and reduce the distractions typical of conferences that are close to home.

Lastly, Credit Suisse continues to invest in health care as a top priority for Equity Research and we hope you will take the opportunity to get to know our Credit Suisse Health Care team. Space is limited so we encourage you to register soon and look forward to greeting you in sunny Phoenix this November!

Regards,

Credit Suisse Global Healthcare Team
