This hypothetical scenario analysis does not reflect advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, or any other expenses that an investor may incur in connection with the BUyS.  No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will, or is likely to, achieve similar returns to those shown above. Hypothetical results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from this analysis. The numbers appearing in the above table have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Selected Risk Factors

YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE BUyS MAY RESULT IN A LOSS – The BUyS do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $150 per $1,000 face amount. The return on the BUyS at maturity is linked to the weighted performance of the Basket Indices and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket performance is positive or negative.   THE RETURN ON YOUR BUyS IS LIMITED BY THE BASKET RETURN CAP - The Basket Return cannot exceed the Basket Return Cap of between 8.50% and 12.50% (to be determined on the Trade Date) and your payment at maturity is limited to a maximum payment of between $1,170.00 and $1,250.00 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000 face amount of the BUyS you hold, regardless of any increase in the Basket beyond the Basket Return Cap.   CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE BUyS PRIOR TO MATURITY - Certain built-in costs, such as our estimated cost of hedging, are likely to adversely affect the value of the BUyS prior to maturity. You should be willing and able to hold your BUyS tomaturity.   NO PERIODIC COUPON OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS You will not receive periodic coupon payments on the BUyS orhave voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributionswith respect to the component stocks of the Basket Indices.   OUR RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE BASKET INDICES OR THE MARKET VALUE OF THE BUyS - We and our affiliates and agents may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the BUyS, which could affect the level of the Basket Indices or the value of the BUyS.   POTENTIAL CONFLICTS - Because we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the BUyS, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the BUyS, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the BUyS.   MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE BUyS - In addition to the level of the Basket Indices on any day, the value of the BUyS will be affected by a number of complex and interrelated economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other.   LACK OF LIQUIDITY - There may be little or no secondary market for the BUyS. The BUyS will not be listed on any securities exchange. CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF THE BASKET INDICES MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER - Price movements in the Basket Indices may not correlate with each other. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Return, increases in the level of one or more of the Basket Indices may be moderated, offset or more than offset by lesser increases or declines in the levels of the other Basket Indices.   COUNTERPARTY RISK - The payment of amounts owed to you under the BUyS 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.   THE U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE BUyS ARE UNCLEAR - Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the BUyS 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.   Deutsche Bank AG has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, for the offering to which this fact sheet relates.
