IMPORTANT RISK FACTORS
 
Selected Risk Factors for Phoenix Autocallable Linked to iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
 
·  
In addition to these selected risk factors, you should read the additional risk factors applicable to all three offerings at the bottom of this email and the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment:
 
·  
You will lose some or all of your investment if the securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount.
 
·  
Appreciation potential limited to the Face Amount plus the Contingent Coupons regardless of appreciation in the Underlying.
 
·  
If the Closing Price of the Underlying on an Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon for that entire period. If the Closing Price of the Underlying is below the Coupon Barrier on each Observation Date, you will receive no Contingent Coupon payments during the entire term of the securities.
 
·  
If your securities are called early, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk.
 
·  
The anti-dilution adjustment is limited. The calculation agent is not required to make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Underlying.
 
·  
The net asset value (the “NAV”) of an exchange traded fund may fluctuate with changes in the market value of such exchange traded fund’s portfolio holdings. The Underlying may trade at, above or below its NAV per share.
 
·  
Blackrock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) is the investment advisor to the Underlying and may add, delete or substitute the component securities held by the Underlying. Any of these actions could cause or contribute to large movements in the prices of the component securities held by the Underlying, which could cause the price of the shares of the Underlying to decline.
 
·  
The performance of the Underlying may not exactly replicate the performance of the Tracked Index due to the transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Tracked Index and the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market.
 
 
 
 
 
 
·  
There is no affiliation between the Underlying and us, and we are not responsible for any disclosure by the Underlying.
 
·  
Because the Underlying invests in stocks denominated in foreign currencies but its shares are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Underlying’s return.
 
·  
The Underlying holds component stocks that are issued by companies incorporated outside of the U.S. Because the component stocks also trade outside the U.S., the securities are subject to the risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets.
 
·  
Because the stocks held by the Underlying include stocks of companies that are located in emerging market countries and whose securities trade on the exchanges of emerging market countries, the value of the securities is subject to the political and economic risks of emerging market countries.

·  
We are one of the companies that make up the Underlying. We will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the BUyS in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your BUyS.

·

Additional Risk Factors Applicable to All Three Offerings
 
·  
You will lose some or all of your investment if the Final Level is less than the Initial Level by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount
 
·  
As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the stocks composing the Underlying would have.
 
·  
Payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Deutsche Bank, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the securities. If Deutsche Bank becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment.
 
·  
The initial estimated value of the securities on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price. If you attempt to sell the securities prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the securities on the pricing date.
 
·  
Changes in the level of the Underlying may not result in a comparable change in the value of your securities.
 
 
 
 
 
 
·  
The actual performance of the Underlying over the term of the securities may bear little relation to the historical closing levels of the Underlying
 
·  
The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities.
 
·  
We (or our affiliates) intend to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but are not required to do so. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.
 
·  
While we expect that, generally, the level of the Underlying will affect the value of the securities more than any other single factor, the value of the securities will also be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other.
 
·  
We or one or more of our affiliates expect to hedge our exposure from the securities by entering into equity and equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options or exchange-traded instruments. Such trading and hedging activities may affect the Underlying and make it less likely that you will receive a positive return on your investment in the securities.
 
·  
We, our affiliates or our agents may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that could adversely affect the value of the securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities.
 
·  
We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent, hedging our obligations under the securities and determining the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date and the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions. In performing these duties, our economic interests and those of our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities.
