Selected Risk Factors

MARKET RISK - The return on the securities at maturity, if any, is linked to the performance of the Index and will depend on whether the Index Closing Level ever exceeds the Upper Barrier on any trading day during the Observation Period, the magnitude of the Index Return, and if any decline in the Index exceeds the Buffer Amount. THE SECURITIES MAY PAY LESS THAN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT - You may receive a lower payment at maturity than you would have received if you had invested in the Index, the component stocks underlying the Index or contracts related to the Index. If the Index Level exceeds the Upper Barrier on any trading day during the Observation Period and at maturity, the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level, and such decline is greater than the Buffer Amount, the securities will not guarantee any return in excess of a payment of between $255.00 and $285.00 (to be determined on Trade Date) per $1,000 security face amount, subject to the credit of the Issuer. If the Index Level does not exceed the Upper Barrier on any trading day during the Observation Period and at maturity, the Ending Index Level is less than the Initial Index Level, and such decline is greater than the Buffer Amount, the securities will not guarantee any return in excess of $100.00 per $1,000 security face amount, subject to the credit of the Issuer. THE BARRIER FEATURE WILL LIMIT YOUR RETURN ON THE SECURITIES AND MAY AFFECT YOUR PAYMENT AT MATURITY - Your investment in the securities may not perform as well as an investment in a security with an uncapped return based solely on the performance of the Index. NO INTEREST OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS - As a holder of the securities, you will not receive interest payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the component stocks underlying the Index would have. CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES PRIOR TO MATURITY - Certain built-in costs, such as our estimated cost of hedging, are likely to adversely affect the value of the securities prior to maturity. You should be willing and able to hold your securities tomaturity. OUR RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE SECURITIES - We and our affiliates and agents may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the securities. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could affect the level of the Index or the market value of the securities. COUNTERPARTY RISK - The payment of amounts owed to you under the securities is subject to the Issuer’s ability to pay. Consequently, you are subject to counterparty risk and are susceptible to risks relating to the creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG. LACK OF LIQUIDITY – There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS - We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the securities. In performing duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES - In addition to the Index Closing Level on any day, the value of the securities will be affected by a number of complex and interrelated economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other. THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES ARE UNCLEAR — Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service will accept, or a court will uphold, the tax consequences described in the accompanying term sheet.
