As of February 21, 2013, the Fund had offered and sold 19,276,060 Common Shares pursuant to prior sales agreements with JonesTrading. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund may not sell any Common Shares at a price below the current net asset value of such Common Shares, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount. The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company with a leveraged capital structure. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek high current income.

JonesTrading will be entitled to compensation of between 150 and 300 basis points of the gross sales price per share for any Common Shares sold under the sales agreement, with the exact amount of such compensation to be mutually agreed upon by the Fund and JonesTrading from time to time. In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on the Fund's behalf, JonesTrading may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the compensation of JonesTrading may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

The following information is only a summary. You should consider the more detailed information contained in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Prospectus, dated October 17, 2012, and the SAI, dated October 17, 2012, especially the information under "Risks and Special Considerations" on page 23 of the accompanying Prospectus.

The Fund The Fund is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company organized as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Fund's Common Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "DHY." As of February 21, 2013, the net assets of the Fund were $293,769,070 and the Fund had outstanding 94,785,278 Common Shares. As of February 21, 2013, the per share net asset value of the Fund's Common Shares was $3.10 and the per share market price of the Fund's Common Shares was $3.28, representing an 5.81% premium over such net asset value. See "Description of Shares" in the accompanying Prospectus.

The Fund's principal investment objective is to seek high current income. The Fund also will seek capital appreciation as a secondary objective, to the extent consistent with its objective of seeking high current income.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities of U.S. issuers rated below investment grade quality (lower than Baa by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. ("Moody's") or lower than BBB by Standard & Poor's, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P") or comparably rated by another nationally recognized rating agency), or in unrated income securities that Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, the Fund's investment adviser ("Credit Suisse" or the "Investment Adviser"), determines to be of comparable quality. Securities rated lower than Baa by Moody's and lower than BBB by S&P are commonly known as "junk bonds." The Fund will generally not invest in securities rated at the time of investment in the lowest rating categories (Ca or below for Moody's and CC or below for S&P) but may continue to hold securities which are subsequently downgraded. However, it has authority to invest in securities rated as low as C and D by Moody's and S&P, respectively. See "Investment Policies" in the accompanying Prospectus.

Information Regarding the Investment Adviser Credit Suisse, the Fund's investment adviser, is part of the asset management business of Credit Suisse Group AG, one of the world's leading banks. Credit Suisse serves as the Fund's investment adviser with respect to all investments and is responsible for making all investment decisions. Credit Suisse receives from the Fund, as compensation for its advisory services, an annual fee, payable monthly, in an amount equal to 1% of the first $250 million of the average weekly value of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than the aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) (the "Managed Assets") and 0.75% of the average weekly value of the Managed Assets greater than $250 million. Credit Suisse may waive voluntarily a portion of its fees from time to time and temporarily limit the expenses to be borne by the Fund. Effective January 1, 2011, Credit Suisse agreed to waive 0.15% of the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement up to $200 million and 0.25% of the fees payable under the Investment Advisory

Agreement on the next $50 million. During periods in which the Fund is utilizing leverage, the advisory fee will be higher than if the Fund did not utilize a leveraged capital structure because the fee is calculated as a percentage of the Managed Assets including those purchased with leverage. The Fund is currently utilizing leverage. The Investment Adviser is located at One Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010. See "Management of the Fund Investment Adviser."

The Offering The Fund and the Investment Adviser entered into a sales agreement with JonesTrading relating to the Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, the Fund may offer and sell up to 18,000,000 of its Common Shares, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time through JonesTrading as its agent for the offer and sale of the Common Shares, subject to an aggregate cap of under the Shelf as of the date hereof of $82,758,654.50. As of February 21, 2013, the Fund had offered and sold 19,276,060 Common Shares pursuant to prior sales agreements with JonesTrading, resulting in proceeds (net of all fees and commissions) of $60,089,071.

The Fund's Common Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE MKT under the symbol "DHY." The last reported sale price of the Fund's Common Shares, as reported on the NYSE MKT on February 21, 2013, was $3.28 per share.

Use of Proceeds The Fund intends to invest the net proceeds of this offering in accordance with its investment objectives and policies as stated in the accompanying Prospectus. Proceeds will be invested within approximately 30 days of receipt by the Fund. Pending such investment, the Fund anticipates investing the proceeds in short-term securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or in high quality, short-term or long-term debt obligations or money market instruments.

Leverage The Fund, as of February 21, 2013, is leveraged through borrowings from a credit facility in the amount of $113,000,000 or 27.78% of the Fund's total assets (including proceeds of such leverage). The Fund's asset coverage ratio as of February 21, 2013 was 360%.

DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund declares and pays dividends on a monthly basis. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. The Fund's dividend policy is to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. However, in order to provide shareholders with a more consistent yield to the current trading price of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month.

The amounts of the last four monthly dividends paid by the Fund are as set out below:

Payment Date	Dividend per Common Share
November 23, 2012	$ 0.0265
December 24, 2012	$ 0.0265
January 24, 2013	$ 0.0265
February 25, 2013	$ 0.0265

See "Dividends and Distributions; Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan" in the accompanying Prospectus.

SUMMARY OF FUND EXPENSES

The following table and example are intended to assist you in understanding the various costs and expenses directly or indirectly associated with investing in Common Shares of the Fund. Some of the percentages indicated in the table below are estimates and may vary.

Shareholder Transaction Expenses — Sales Load (as a percentage of offering price)	1.50	%(1)
Offering Expenses (as a percentage of offering price)	0.22	%(2)
Dividend Reinvestment Plan Fees	None(3)
Annual Operating Expenses (as a percentage of average net assets attributable to the Fund's Common Shares)
Management Fee(4)	1.14	%
Interest and Commitment Fees on Borrowed Funds(5)	0.58	%

Total Annual Operating Expenses	1.94	%

(1) Represents the estimated commission with respect to the Fund's Common Shares being sold in this offering, which the Fund will pay to JonesTrading in connection with the sales of Common Shares effected by JonesTrading in this offering. While JonesTrading is entitled to a commission of between 1.50% and 3.00% of the gross sales price for Common Shares sold, with the exact amount to be agreed upon by the parties, the Fund has assumed, for purposes of this offering, that JonesTrading will receive a commission of 1.50% of such gross sales price. This is the only sales load to be paid in connection with this offering. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, if any, may be less than as set forth under "Capitalization" below. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth under "Capitalization" below, depending on market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale.

(2) Includes the Fund's payment of the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for JonesTrading in connection with the transactions contemplated by the sales agreement, as described under "Plan of Distribution" below.

(3) Participants in the Fund's automatic dividend reinvestment plan pay only transaction-based charges. Actual costs will vary for each participant depending on the nature and number of transactions made. See "Dividends and Distributions; Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan" in the accompanying Prospectus.

(4) See "Management of the Fund Investment Adviser" in the accompanying Prospectus.

(5) The Fund may use leverage through borrowings. The Fund currently borrows under a credit facility.

SEQ.=7,FOLIO='S-3',FILE='13-4463-3.da',USER='ltolend',CD='Feb 28 14:56 2013'

Example

An investor would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 investment in the Fund, assuming (1) Total Annual Operating Expenses of 1.94%, (2) a Sales Load (commission) of $15 and estimated offering expenses of $2.20 and (3) a 5% annual return:

One Year	Three Years	Five Years	Ten Years
$ 37	$ 77	$ 120	$ 240

The "Example" assumes that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested at net asset value and that the percentage amounts listed in the table above under Total Annual Operating Expenses remain the same in the years shown. The above table and example and the assumption in the example of a 5% annual return are required by regulations of the SEC that are applicable to all investment companies; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not represent, the projected or actual performance of the Fund's Common Shares.

The example should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses, and the Fund's actual expenses may be greater than or less than those shown. Moreover, the Fund's actual rate of return may be greater or less than the hypothetical 5% return shown in the example.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Sales of the Fund's Common Shares, if any, under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be made in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" as defined in Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, including sales made directly on the NYSE MKT or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be less than as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth in this paragraph, depending on the market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale. As a result, the actual net proceeds the Fund receives may be more or less than the amount of net proceeds estimated in this Prospectus Supplement. Assuming the sale of all of the Fund's Common Shares offered under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus, at the last reported sale price of $3.28 per share for the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT as of February 21, 2013, the Fund estimates that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $58,025,400 after deducting the estimated sales load and the estimated offering expenses payable by the Fund.

The Fund intends to invest the net proceeds of this offering in accordance with its investment objectives and policies as stated in the accompanying Prospectus within approximately 30 days of receipt of such proceeds. Pending such investment, the Fund anticipates investing the proceeds in short-term securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or in high quality, short-term or long-term debt obligations or money market instruments. Following the completion of this offering, the Fund may increase the amount of leverage outstanding.

CAPITALIZATION

Pursuant to the sales agreement with JonesTrading dated March 1, 2013, the Fund may offer and sell up to 18,000,000 of its Common Shares, par value $0.001 per share, from time to time through JonesTrading as its agent for the offer and sale of the Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. The table below assumes that the Fund will sell 18,000,000 Common Shares, at a price of $3.28 per share (the last reported sale price per share of the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on February 21, 2013). Actual sales, if any, of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be less than as set forth in the table below. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than $3.28, depending on the market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale. To the extent that the market price per share of the Fund's Common Shares on any given day is less than the net asset value per share on such day, the Fund will instruct JonesTrading not to make any sales on such day.

The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Fund (i) on an actual basis as of October 31, 2012 (audited), (ii) on an actual basis as of February 21, 2013 (unaudited) to reflect the sale of Common Shares from November 1, 2012 through February 21, 2013, and the application of the net proceeds from such sale of Common Shares, and (iv) on a pro forma basis as adjusted to reflect the assumed sale of 18,000,000 Common Shares at $3.28 per share (the last reported sale price per share of the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on February 21, 2013), in an offering under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Under the sales agreement among the Fund, the Investment Adviser and JonesTrading, upon written instructions from the Fund, JonesTrading will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell, as the Fund's agent, the Common Shares under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the sales agreement. JonesTrading's sales efforts will continue until the Fund instructs JonesTrading to suspend sales. The Fund will instruct JonesTrading as to the amount of Common Shares to be sold by JonesTrading. The Fund may instruct JonesTrading not to sell Common Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Fund in any instruction. The Fund or JonesTrading may suspend the offering of Common Shares upon proper notice and subject to other conditions.

JonesTrading will provide written confirmation to the Fund no later than the opening of the trading day on the NYSE MKT immediately following the trading day on which Common Shares are sold under the sales agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares sold on the preceding day, the net proceeds to the Fund and the compensation payable by the Fund to JonesTrading in connection with the sales.

The Fund will pay JonesTrading commissions for its services in acting as agent in the sale of Common Shares. JonesTrading will be entitled to compensation of between 150 and 300 basis points of the gross sales price per share of any Common Shares sold under the sales agreement, with the exact amount of such compensation to be mutually agreed upon by the Fund and JonesTrading from time to time. The Fund has also agreed to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for JonesTrading in connection with the transactions contemplated under the sales agreement (provided such fees and expenses (a) shall not exceed $50,000 in connection with (i) the preparation and execution of the sales agreement, (ii) the preparation and filing of this Prospectus Supplement, (iii) the preparation and printing of a "Blue Sky Survey" and (iv) the review by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) of the terms of the sale of the Common Shares and (b) shall not exceed $25,000 on an annual basis in each annual period following the date of the sales agreement). There is no guarantee that there will be any sales of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus. Actual sales, if any, of the Fund's Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus may be less than as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the price per share of any such sale may be greater or less than the price set forth in this paragraph, depending on the market price of the Fund's Common Shares at the time of any such sale. Assuming 18,000,000 of the Fund's Common Shares offered hereby are sold at a market price of $3.28 per share (the last reported sale price for the Fund's Common Shares on the NYSE MKT on February 21, 2013), the Fund estimates that the total expenses for the offering, including reimbursable expenses payable to JonesTrading as described above and excluding compensation payable to JonesTrading under the terms of the sales agreement, would be approximately $129,000.

Settlement for sales of Common Shares will occur on the third business day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by the Fund and JonesTrading in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to the Fund. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

In connection with the sale of the Common Shares on the Fund's behalf, JonesTrading may, and will with respect to sales effected in an "at the market offering," be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and the compensation of JonesTrading may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. The Fund has agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to JonesTrading against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the 1933 Act.

The offering of the Fund's Common Shares pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all Common Shares subject to the sales agreement or (2) termination of the sales agreement. The sales agreement may be terminated by the Fund in its sole discretion at any time by giving notice to JonesTrading. In addition, JonesTrading may terminate the sales agreement under the circumstances specified in the sales

SEQ.=10,FOLIO='S-6',FILE='13-4463-3.da',USER='ltolend',CD='Feb 28 14:56 2013'

agreement and in its sole discretion at any time following a period of 12 months from the date of the sales agreement by giving notice to the Fund.

The principal business address of JonesTrading is 780 Third Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10017.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters will be passed on by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, counsel to the Fund, in connection with the offering of the Common Shares.

Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the fund's shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment program. Because the fund's shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on share price and NAV.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2012

Note 1. Organization

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund (the "Fund") is a business trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 30, 1998. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund's primary objective is to seek high current income.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

A) SECURITY VALUATION The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Equity investments are generally categorized as Level 1. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are generally categorized as Level 1. Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are generally categorized as Level 2. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees and are generally categorized as Level 3. At October 31, 2012, the Fund held less than 0.01% of its net assets in securities valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by the Board of Trustees with an aggregate cost of $3,041,641 and fair value of $199. The Fund's estimate of fair value assumes a willing buyer and a willing seller neither acting under the compulsion to buy or sell. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized on such sales could differ from the prices originally paid by the Fund or the current carrying values, and the difference could be material.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures, factors used in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate

stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements, an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

• Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the Fund's investments carried at value:

	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Investments in Securities
Corporate Bonds	$	$ 327,812,155	$ 199	$ 327,812,354
Bank Loans		44,156,121		44,156,121
Asset Backed Securities		5,326,440		5,326,440

	$ 10,360,003	$ 392,642,980	$ 199	$ 403,003,182

Other financial instruments include forwards foreign currency contracts.

The following is a reconciliation of investments as of October 31, 2012 in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value. Transfers in or out of Level 3 represent the beginning value of any security or instrument where a change in the level has occurred from the beginning to the end of the period.

The Fund adopted FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which require the Fund to disclose details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. For the year ended October 31, 2012, there were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

B) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Fund adopted amendments to authoritative guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities which require that the Fund disclose (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and hedging

activities are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedging activities affect a fund's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

Fair Values of Derivative Instruments as of October 31, 2012

	Unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on forward currency			Unrealized appreciation/ depreciation on forward currency
Currency Contracts	contracts	$ 296,601	*	contracts	$

Includes cumulative appreciation/depreciation of forward foreign currency contracts as reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Notes to Financial Statements.

	Location	Realized Gain/Loss	Location	Unrealized Appreciation/ Depreciation
	Net realized gain from foreign currency		Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from foreign currency
Currency Contracts	transactions	$ 1,113,807	translations	$ 999,041

The notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts at year end are reflected in the Notes to Financial Statements. The notional amounts of forward foreign currency contracts at each month end throughout the reporting period averaged approximately 9.65% of net assets of the Fund.

C) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.

D) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

E) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS The Fund declares and pays dividends on a monthly basis and records them on ex-date. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

The Fund's dividend policy is to distribute substantially all of its net investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. However, in order to provide shareholders with a more consistent yield to the current trading price of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund, the Fund may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net investment income earned in any particular month and may at times in any month pay out such accumulated but undistributed income in addition to net investment income earned in that month. As a result, the dividends paid by the Fund for any particular month may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned by the Fund during such month.

F) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.

In order to qualify as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. One of these requirements is that the Fund derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies or net income derived from interests in certain publicly traded partnerships ("Qualifying Income").

The Fund adopted the authoritative guidance for uncertainty in income taxes and recognizes a tax benefit or liability from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based solely on its technical merits and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and procedures. The Fund has reviewed its current tax positions and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

G) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

H) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG, pools available cash into a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.

I) CASH FLOW INFORMATION Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the amount reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including domestic and foreign currencies. The Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends from net investment income and net realized gains, if any (which are either paid in cash or reinvested at the discretion of shareholders). These activities are reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Information on cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Accounting practices that do not affect reporting activities on a cash basis include unrealized gain or loss on investment securities and accretion or amortization income recognized on investment securities.

J) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging foreign currency risk. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for

K) SECURITIES LENDING Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from securities lending activities. During the year ended October 31, 2012, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $69,962, of which $0 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $59,468 in income from the cash collateral investment, and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $10,494. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.

L) OTHER Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.

In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and the Fund's net asset value.

M) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in these financial statements through the date of release of this report. No such events requiring recognition or disclosure were identified through the date of the release of this report.

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Credit Suisse. The Advisory Agreement provides for a fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the first $250 million of the average weekly value of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) and 0.75% of the average weekly value of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage) greater than $250 million. Effective January 1, 2011, Credit Suisse has agreed to waive 0.15% of the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement up

to $200 million and 0.25% of the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement on the next $50 million. For the year ended October 31, 2012, investment advisory fees earned and voluntary waived were $3,176,626 and $424,999, respectively. Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived during the year ended October 31, 2012. Fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.

SSB serves as Accounting and Administrative Agent for the fund. For its administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon the relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2012, administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $66,622.

The Independent Trustees receive fifty percent (50%) of their annual retainer in the form of shares. Since 2008, the Independent Trustees have been able to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual retainer in shares of the Fund. During the year ended October 31, 2012, 18,468 shares were issued through the trustees compensation plan. Trustees as a group own less than 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing services. For the year ended October 31, 2012, Merrill was paid $52,634 for its services by the Fund.

Note 4. Line of Credit

The Fund has a line of credit provided by SSB primarily to leverage its investment portfolio (the "SSB Agreement"). Effective December 9, 2011, under the SSB Agreement, the Fund may borrow the least of: a) $140,000,000; b) an amount that is no greater than 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage); and c) the Borrowing Base as defined in the SSB Agreement. Effective December 7, 2012, the Fund may borrow the least of: a) $170,000,000; b) an amount that is no greater than 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets minus the sum of liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness constituting leverage); and c) the Borrowing Base as defined in the SSB Agreement. At October 31, 2012, the Fund had loans outstanding under the Agreement of $116,000,000. At October 31, 2012 and during the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund had borrowings under the Agreement as follows:

Average Daily Loan Balance		Maximum Daily Loan Outstanding
$ 100,221,311	1.284 %	$ 116,000,000

The use of leverage by the Fund creates an opportunity for increased net income and capital appreciation for the Fund, but, at the same time, creates special risks, and there can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed. The Fund intends to utilize leverage to provide the shareholders with a potentially higher return. Leverage creates risks for shareholders including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and market price of the Fund's shares and the risk that fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings and short-term debt may affect the return to shareholders. To the extent the income or capital appreciation derived from securities purchased with funds received from leverage exceeds the cost of leverage, the Fund's return will be greater than if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income or capital appreciation from the securities purchased with such funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the return to the Fund will be less than if leverage had not been used, and therefore the amount available for distribution to shareholders as dividends and other distributions will be reduced. In the latter case, Credit Suisse in its best judgment nevertheless may determine to maintain the Fund's leveraged position if it deems such action to be appropriate under the circumstances. During periods in which the Fund is utilizing leverage, the management fee will be higher than if the Fund did not utilize a leveraged capital structure because the fee is calculated as a percentage of the managed assets including those purchased with leverage.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

Certain types of borrowings by the Fund may result in the Fund's being subject to covenants in credit agreements, including those relating to asset coverage and portfolio composition requirements. The Fund's lenders may establish guidelines for borrowing which may impose asset coverage or portfolio composition requirements that are more stringent than those imposed by the 1940 Act. There is no guarantee that the Fund's borrowing arrangements or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Fund. Expiration or termination of available financing for leveraged positions can result in adverse effects to its access to liquidity and its ability to maintain leverage positions, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Fund. In addition, a decline in market value of the Fund's assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where they have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender requiring the Fund to sell assets at a time when it may not be in the Fund's best interest to do so.

Note 5. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the year ended October 31, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) were $265,230,277 and $191,867,466, respectively.

Note 6. Fund Shares

The Fund has one class of shares of beneficial interest, par value $.001 per share; an unlimited number of shares are authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest of the Fund were as follows:

Shares issued through the trustees compensation plan	18,468	16,879
Shares issued through at-the-market offerings	16,058,741
Shares issued through reinvestment of dividends	274,683	269,290
Net increase	16,351,892	286,169

Note 7. Rights Offering

On August 25, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Fund announced the approval of a transferable rights offering for the Fund. Rights offering costs of $62,923 were charged to capital during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Note 8. Shelf Offering

On December 8, 2011, the Fund filed a "shelf" registration statement with the SEC, which permitted the Fund to issue up to $50 million in shares of beneficial interest through one or more public offerings. On October 16, 2012, the Fund filed "shelf" registration statement with the SEC which permit the Fund to issue up to $90 million in shares of beneficial interest through one or more public offerings. Under the shelf registration statements, the Fund sold and may sell the Fund's shares of beneficial interest in one or more at-the market offering when market conditions are considered favorable. Such shares were and would only be issued when the premium to net asset value is greater than the costs associated with the transaction. Any proceeds raised are used for investment purposes. As of October 31, 2012, the Fund had offered and sold 16,058,741 shares of beneficial interest pursuant to sales agreements, resulting in proceeds (net of all fees and commissions) of $49,803,158.

Note 9. Federal Income Taxes

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2012

The tax characteristics of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, by the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income
2012	2011
$ 26,226,410	$ 23,874,498

The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred on wash sales, income from defaulted bonds, partnership basis adjustments and mark to market of forward contracts. At October 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Funds were as follows:

Accumulated realized loss	(81,647,267	)
Unrealized depreciation	1,812,293
$	(79,834,974	)

At October 31, 2012, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains as follows:

Expires October 31, — 2013	2014	2016	2017	2018
$ 1,583,878	$ 8,944,708	$ 24,144,149	$ 40,767,194	$ 6,207,338

During the tax year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $3,135,234 of the capital loss carryforwards.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. It is uncertain whether the Fund will be able to realize the full benefits of the capital loss carryforwards before they expire.

At October 31, 2012, the cost of investments (excluding foreign currency related transactions) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of Investments	$
Unrealized appreciation	17,425,157
Unrealized depreciation	(15,615,001	)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)	$ 1,810,156

At October 31, 2012, the Fund reclassified $1,196,334 to net investment loss and $2,948,419 to accumulated net realized loss from investments from paid in capital, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatment of foreign currency gain/(loss), partnership basis adjustments, defaulted bonds, distributions in excess of current earnings and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Note 10. Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
