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 performance of the Index and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Index performance is positive or negative. THE RETURN ON YOUR BUyS IS LIMITED BY THE INDEX RETURN CAP — The Index Return cannot exceed the Index Return Cap of between 21.50% and 27.50% (to be determined on the Trade Date) and your payment at maturity is limited to a maximum payment of between$1,215.00 and $1,275.00 (to be determined on the Trade Date) for each $1,000.00 face amount of the BUyS you hold, regardless of any increase in the Index beyond the Index 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 to maturity. NO PERIODIC COUPON OR DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — You will not receive periodic coupon payments on the BUyS or have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions with respect to the component stocks of the Index. LACK OF LIQUIDITY — There may be little or no secondary market for the BUyS. The BUyS will not be listed on any securities exchange. OUR RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE INDEX 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 Index 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 Index 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. 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 the Internal Revenue Service or a court might not agree with 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.  Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and the other documents including term sheet No. 748J and the product supplement relating to this offering that Deutsche Bank AG has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Deutsche Bank AG and this offering.  You may obtain these documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.  Alternatively, Deutsche Bank AG, any agent or any dealer participating in this offering will arrange to send you the prospectus, prospectus supplement, product supplement, underlying supplement, term sheet No. 748J and this fact sheet if you so request by calling toll-free 1-800-311-4409. You may revoke your offer to purchase the BUyS at any time prior to the time at which we accept such offer by notifying the applicable agent. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the BUyS prior to their issuance. We will notify you in the event of any changes to the terms of the BUyS, and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase of any BUyS. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase the BUyS.
