This hypothetical scenario analysis table illustrates the Redemption Amounts payable on the Maturity Date per $1,000 security face amount for hypothetical performances of the Basket. Hypothetical results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of future returns. Actual results may vary, perhaps materially, from this analysis. The numbers appearing have been rounded for ease of analysis.  For purposes of this table and these examples, it is assumed that a Redemption Trigger Event does not occur. If a Redemption Trigger Event occurs, you will lose a significant portion of your investment in the securities. The calculation of the Basket Level includes Adjustment Factor components. As a result, the performance of the Basket Indices will need to more than offset the Adjustment Factors for the return on the securities to be positive.

Selected Risk Factors

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. You should read “Risk Factors” in term sheet No. 875 for detailed information about the risks listed below.

ACCELERATED LOSS AND NO PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS — The securities offer 100% participation in the appreciation or depreciation of the S&P 500 Total Return Index and 200% in the appreciation or depreciation of EMERALD, each reduced by the respective adjustment factors. In the case of EMERALD, the investor is exposed to two times any appreciation or depreciation of such index. Any negative S&P 500 Total Return Index Performance will be combined with two times any negative EMERALD Performance in calculating the Redemption Amount, resulting in an accelerated loss on your investment. Your payment at maturity or upon a Redemption Trigger Event will be further reduced by the S&P 500 Total Return Index Adjustment Factor and the EMERALD Adjustment Factor. YOUR SECURITIES ARE EXPOSED TO ONE TIMES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE S&P 500 TOTAL RETURN INDEX AND TWO TIMES THE PERFORMANCE OF EMERALD —Because the securities are linked to EMERALD on a two-times leveraged basis, any negative performance of EMERALD will have a substantial effect on your return even though the performance of the Basket is based on the appreciation or depreciation of the Basket as a whole. EARLY REDEMPTION UPON A REDEMPTION TRIGGER EVENT — If the Basket Level is less than the Redemption Trigger Level at the close of any trading day during the Observation Period, we will redeem the securities early. The Redemption Amount will be calculated using the Final Basket Level on the Redemption Trigger Valuation Date, and you will lose a significant portion, and may lose all, of your initial investment. Once a Redemption Trigger Event occurs, early redemption by us will be automatic. In addition, you will not benefit from any increase in the Basket Level that may occur after the Redemption Trigger Valuation Date, and you may not be able to reinvest your money in a comparable investment. CREDIT 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 risks relating to the creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG. EMERALD STRATEGY RISK — EMERALD reflects a strategy that aims to monetize any negative serial correlation exhibited by the S&P 500 Index by periodically buying daily volatility and selling weekly volatility on the S&P 500 Index. EMERALD will appreciate if daily realized volatility exceeds weekly realized volatility over a given week, and decline if daily realized volatility is less than weekly realized volatility over a given week.  There is no assurance that any negative correlation between the daily volatility and weekly volatility on the S&P 500 Index will exist at any time during the term of the securities and the strategy of buying daily volatility and selling weekly volatility may not be successful. EMERALD HAS VERY LIMITED PERFORMANCE HISTORY — Calculation of EMERALD began on October 12, 2009. Therefore, EMERALD has very limited performance history and no actual investment which allowed tracking of the performance of EMERALD was possible before that date. OUR RESEARCH OPINIONS COULD AFFECT THE LEVEL OF THE BASKET INDICES AND THE 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, which could affect the Basket Level or the value of the securities. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — Because 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 being the index sponsor of the Basket Indices, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. LACK OF LIQUIDITY — There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. 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, and may adversely affect the price, if any, at which the Issuer or its affiliates may be willing to purchase the securities from you in the secondary market. You should be willing and able to hold your securities to maturity. MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — In addition to the levels of the Basket Indices 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 [SUBJECT TO DPW TAX REVIEW] — Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court might not agree with the tax consequences described in the accompanying term sheet. See “Risk Factors” in the accompanying term sheet for more information.
