exhibit are hereby incorporated by reference into Registration Statement No. 333-162195 of Deutsche
Bank AG.

Forward-looking statements contain risks
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations. Any
statement in this report that states our intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the
assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements are based on plans,
estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank.
Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no
obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of
important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statement. Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in
Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion
of our trading revenues, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the
implementation of our strategic initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies,
procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of March 16, 2010 on
pages 7 through 17 under the heading “Risk Factors.” Copies of this document are readily available
upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/ir.
