(1) Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent
actual ETN performance. The initial publication date of the DB Long U.S.
Treasury Bond Futures Index and the DB Short U.S. Treasury Bond Futures Index is
May 4, 2010. All historic index data shown is based on the initial publication
date. Index history is based on a combination of three times the monthly returns
from the relevant Treasury index plus the monthly returns from the DB 3-Month
T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"), resetting monthly as per the formula applied
to the ETNs, less the investor fee. The T-Bill Index is intended to approximate
the returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury bills on a rolling
basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are
unmanaged, and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT
GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. For current index and ETN performance, go to

The ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by
sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk and the consequences of
seeking monthly leveraged investment results, and who intend to actively monitor
and manage their investments. In particular, the ETNs are not designed to be
long-term investments and may not be suitable for investors seeking an
investment with a term greater than the time remaining to the next monthly reset
date. Investing in the ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the
index or index components because the current principal amount is reset each
month, resulting in the compounding of monthly returns. The principal amount is
also subject to the investor fee, which can adversely affect returns. The amount
you receive at maturity (or upon an earlier repurchase) will be contingent upon
each monthly performance of the index during the term of the ETNs. There is no
guarantee that you will receive at maturity, or upon an earlier repurchase, your
initial investment back or any return on that investment. Significant adverse
monthly performances for your ETNs may not be offset by any beneficial monthly
performances.

The ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch,
and the amount due on the ETNs is dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's
ability to pay. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and
have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the ETNs include limited
portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price
fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the ETNs is not
equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components. The investor
fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon redemption of your
ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the
redemption value of the ETNs is zero, your Investment will expire worthless. As
described in the pricing supplement, Deutsche Bank may redeem the ETNs for an
amount in cash equal to the repurchase value.

PowerShares DB U.S. Treasury ETNs
The ETNs are senior unsecured obligations issued by Deutsche Bank AG, London
Branch that are linked to the month-over-month performance of an underlying
index obtained by combining three times the returns, whether positive or
negative, on the DB Long U.S. Treasury Bond Futures Index or the DB Short U.S.
Treasury Bond Futures Index, as applicable, with returns on the DB 3-Month
T-Bill Index.

The DB Long U.S. Treasury Bond Futures Index measures the performance of a long
investment in the CBOT Ultra T-Bond futures and the DB Short U.S. Treasury Bond
Futures Index measures the performance of a short investment in the CBOT Ultra
T-Bond futures. The underlying assets of the Ultra T-Bond futures are U.S.
Treasury Bonds with at least 25 years remaining term to maturity. The returns of
each ETN are obtained by combining 3x the returns of the relevant index with the
returns of the TBill index, less investor fees. Investors can buy and sell the
ETNs on the NYSE Arca exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled
maturity or early redemption based on the performance of the index less investor
fees. The issuer has the right to redeem the ETNs at the repurchase value at any
time.

Investors may redeem the ETNs in blocks of no less than 200,000 securities and
multiples of 50,000 securities thereafter, subject to the procedures described
in the pricing supplement. Redemptions may include a fee of up to $0.03 per
security.

The ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca through any brokerage
account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of ETNs that you may
redeem directly with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, as specified in the
applicable pricing supplement. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and there
are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of the ETNs.
Sales in the secondary market may result in losses.

The ETNs provide concentrated exposure to U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts.
The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors,
including, among other things, changes in supply and demand relationships,
changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The ETNs
are leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be more volatile than an
unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of loss of principal
associated with a leveraged investment than with an unleveraged investment.

Management LLC. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC is an indirect,

An investor should consider the ETNs' investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses carefully before investing.

An investment in the ETNs involves risks, including possible loss of principal.
For a description of the main risks, see "Risk Factors" in the applicable
pricing supplement.
