Executive Summary The Evolution of Commodity Markets [] Commodities are an asset class in their own right and exhibit unique characteristics such as historically low correlation with traditional asset classes and a positive correlation with inflation [] An investment in a commodity index is a simple way for investors to gain exposure to the asset class while insulating them from the mechanics of rolling futures and posting collateral. This transparent, rule-based roll mechanism eliminates human intervention [] Deutsche Bank is one of the largest providers of non-benchmark commodity indices with a comprehensive suite of commodity index products aimed at enhancing beta returns and extracting market neutral alpha returns in the commodity space [] As the commodity market has evolved, Deutsche Bank has created new indices that may benefit from the special features of the asset class 3

DB Commodity -- Family of Indices Introduction [] The Deutsche Bank suite of Commodity indices seeks to enhance returns by altering traditional commodity index construction rules related to: Relative value asset allocation (Mean Reversion); Market momentum filter (Momentum); Futures Rolling Methodology (Optimized Yield); Controlled Risk (Target Volatility) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Indices Mean Reversion Momentum Optimized Yield Target Volatility - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DB Commodity Booster -- DJUBS [] DB Commodity Booster DJUBS -- TV14 [] [] DB Commodity Booster -- Benchmark [] DBLCI-MR [] DBLCI-MR+ [] [] DBLCI -- Mean Reversion Enhanced [] [] DB MR Enhanced 15 [] [] [] DB Commodity Harvest [] DB Commodity Harvest -- 10 [] [] DBLCI Allocator [] [] [] [] - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4

DBLCI Allocator Index Section 4 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 35

DBLCI Allocator Index Summary [] Components: Uses a rule based methodology to allocate between Beta (the DB MR Enhanced ERAC(1) Index) and Alpha (the DB Commodity Harvest USD ERAC Index), allowing investors access to a strategy that aims to be fully allocated to alpha during periods of commodities downturns [] Optimizing Roll Returns: Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology rolls an expiring contract into the contract that maximizes positive roll yield (in a backwardated market) or minimizes negative roll yield (in a contango market) from the list of tradable futures which expire in the next 13 months [] Dynamic Allocation: Aims to preserve excess returns generated by the DB MR Enhanced ERAC Index by adjusting exposure to underlying indices monthly to reflect upward and downward momentum cycles. A sample set of returns for each period ranging between one and twelve months are calculated. The weight assigned to DB MR Enhanced ERAC Index is based on the number of periods with positive returns. The remaining weight is leveraged 3 times and assigned to the DB Commodity Harvest ERAC Index [] Rebalancing: Each month, the index adjusts its exposure to each underlying index based on the momentum of the DB MR Enhanced ERAC Index. Also adjusts leverage by employing the target volatility mechanism [] Target Volatility: A 12% volatility target is applied to the resulting portfolio. Leverage to the portfolio as a whole is adjusted within a 50% to 150% range monthly with the aim of achieving the volatility target [] Transparency: Rule-based index with the closing level and weights published daily on Bloomberg (DBLCABEU) Note: 1 ERAC: Excess Return After Cost 36

Appendix Appendix 1 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] 39

Types of Returns in a Commodity Index Total Return vs. Excess Return Stock and Bond returns come from two sources: [] Underlying price movement [] Dividends (Stocks) or Coupons (Bonds) Commodity returns come from three sources: [] Collateral Yield [] Interest earned on capital held as collateral [] Spot Return [] Change in front month futures contract [] Roll Return [] Process of buying a futures contract at a premium (negative roll) or discount (positive roll) to the spot price Excess Return = Spot Return + Roll Return Total Return = Excess Return + Collateral Yield Collateral yield of 3-Month US Treasury Bills is added to the DB Commodity excess return version indices to create the DB Commodity total return version 40

Mean Reversion [] The mean reversion methodology overweights "cheap" commodities and underweights "expensive" commodities based on their respective 5y moving average price vs. 1y moving average price [GRAPHIC OMITTED] Notes: 1 Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 2 The Mean Reversion strategy may not always result in outperformance to benchmark commodity indices. As a long-only commodity index, if all underlying commodity prices fall, the DBLCI-Mean Reversion will also likely result in a negative performance 3 Data is as of 26 February 2010. DBLCI and DBLCI-MR are calculated retrospectively prior to their Index Live Dates 41

Momentum [] DBLCI-MR Plus TM Excess Return is a dynamic allocation strategy based on the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return Index [] Mandatory rebalancing takes place on a monthly basis [] At each monthly rebalancing, the allocation in the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return strategy is determined based on the performance of the DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return over the previous 12 months [] Twelve performance indicators are built, reflecting the performance of DBLCI-MR TM Excess Return over previous 12-months, 11-months, 10-months [] 3-months, 2-months, 1-month [] The allocation or component weight to commodities is proportional to the number of times the DBCLI-MR TM Excess Return performance is greater than zero [] Rules based momentum strategy with no human intervention, only execution [] The allocation can be as low as 0% and as high as 100% 42 [GRAPHIC OMITTED]

Optimized Yield Contract Selection to Create an "Optimal Yield" Contract selection and roll return can have a significant impact in the overall return of the index [] Deutsche Bank's proprietary optimum yield ("OY") technology rolls into the contract that maximizes positive roll yield (in a backwardated market) or minimizes negative roll yield (in a contango market) from the list of tradable futures which expire in the next 13 months [GRAPHIC OMITTED] [] Longer dated contracts typically have less negative carry when the curve slopes upward (contango) [GRAPHIC OMITTED] [] Shorter dated contracts typically offer greater positive carry when the curve slopes downward (backwardation) 43

Important Considerations [] The information contained in this presentation does not provide personal investment advice. You should consult with independent accounting, tax, legal and regulatory counsel regarding such matters as they may apply to your particular circumstances Strategy Risk [] The DB Commodity Harvest Indices adopt a market neutral strategy by taking a long position in a specified booster index and a short position in a specified benchmark index. However, this market neutral strategy may not be successful, and each index may not be able to achieve its desired objective [] The Optimal Roll Yield strategy described herein aims to maximize the potential roll benefits in backwardated markets and minimize potential roll losses in contango markets by purchasing the relevant new futures contracts that would generate the maximum implied roll yield. However, indices employing the Optimal Roll Yield strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective [] The Target Volatility strategy described herein aims to achieve a specified realized volatility in the base index by adjusting the level of participation based on the historical realized volatility of the base index. However, indices employing the Target Volatility strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective [] The Mean Reversion strategy described herein aims to maximize returns by over-weighting relatively cheap commodities and under-weighting relatively expensive commodities. However, indices employing the Mean Reversion strategy may not be successful in achieving the desired objective. [] The Allocator strategy described herein aims to maximize returns by combining the Mean Reversion, Optimal Roll Yield and Target Volatility strategies described herein. However, there is no guarantee that an index employing the Allocator strategy, or any of the Mean Reversion, Optimal Roll Yield and Target Volatility strategies, will be successful in achieving the desired objective. [] Commodities are speculative and highly volatile and the risk of loss from investing in financial instruments linked to commodities or commodity indices can be substantial 49

Important Considerations (Cont'd) Past Performance [] An index's performance is unpredictable, and past performance is not indicative of future performance. We give no representation or warranty as to the future performance of any index or investment [] Some of the indices described herein have very limited performance history Backtesting [] Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results discussed herein have inherent limitations. Unlike actual historical performances, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events, the backtesting of performance also differs from actual account performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason, including a response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that do not reflect the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis contained herein Free Writing Prospectus [] 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 communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents that Deutsche Bank AG has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Deutsche Bank AG and any such offering. You may obtain these documents without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www. sec. gov.
