- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Notices 10 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analyses contained herein are based on assumptions that if altered can change the conclusions reached herein. Deutsche Bank has no obligation to update, modify or amend this publication or to otherwise notify a reader in the event that any matter stated herein, or any opinion, projection, forecast or estimate set forth herein, changes or subsequently becomes inaccurate. This presentation and the information contained herein may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank AG. If applicable, the principal protection feature applies only if the securities or instruments are held to maturity. Please note: market values may be affected a number of factors including index values, interest rates, volatility, time to maturity, dividend yields and issuer credit ratings. These factors are interrelated in complex ways, and as a result, the effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. Indicative Price Calculation Indicative note bid and indicative pricing for all Deutsche Bank Structured Equity Notes are based off of bid levels posted by Deutsche Bank on Bloomberg that reflect indicative unwind levels for a limited notional amount of a given note (generally up to $1,000,000). The indicative bid levels posted by Deutsche Bank on Bloomberg include accrued interest, if any, for a given security. Actual unwind levels may vary from the indicative bid levels posted by Deutsche Bank on Bloomberg depending on many factors that include actual unwind notional amount, current volatility of the underlyer, liquidity in the market, Deutsche Bank's creditworthiness, and Deutsche Bank's profit and loss amortization assumptions. Deutsche Bank's upfront fees (if any) are amortized over a portion of the life of the trade. Indicative bid levels posted by Deutsche Bank on Bloomberg may not reflect the true fair value of a given security. The indicative pricing reflected in the presentation reflects market conditions at the time of the indicative pricing and may not be available at a given time based on current market variables. The indicative bid levels posted by Deutsche Bank on Bloomberg are determined by Deutsche Bank in its sole discretion. Stock total return is calculated using stock price and dividends (if any) paid out to investors during the given timeframe.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Notices 11 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derivatives Options, structured securities and illiquid investments, such as private investments, are complex instruments and are not be suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option investors must review the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options: http://onn.theocc.com/publications/risks/riskstoc.pdf If you are unable to access the website, please contact Deutsche Bank AG at +1 (800) 311-4409 for a copy of this important document. These investments typically involve a high degree of risk, are not transferable and typically will not be listed or traded on any exchange and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility and the equity prices and credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor should conduct his/her own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with its own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase; since, it may be difficult to realize the investment prior to maturity, obtain reliable information about the market value of such investments or the extent of the risks to which they are exposed, including the risk of total loss of capital. Additional information may be available upon request. Any results shown do not reflect the impact of commission and/or fees, unless stated. Note to US Investors US regulators have not approved certain foreign indices for listed options for trading by US investors. Eligible US investors may be able to trade over-the-counter instruments, such as Total Return Swaps or OTC options, to get the foreign index exposure. A discussion of listed options and futures based on the foreign indices may still be relevant to US investors - because listed instruments underpin dealer hedging of the OTC products traded in the US. Tax Deutsche Bank AG, including its subsidiaries and affiliates, does not provide legal, tax or accounting advice. This communication was prepared solely in connection with the promotion or marketing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of the transaction or matter addressed herein, and was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used or relied upon, by any taxpayer for purposes of avoiding any U.S. federal income tax penalties. The recipient of this communication should seek advice from an independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters addressed herein based on its particular circumstances. Any information relating to taxation is based on information currently available. The levels and bases of, and relief from, taxation can change and the benefits of products where discussed may cease to exist. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all option transactions, the investor considering options should consult with his/her tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of contemplated option transactions. Backtesting Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results discussed herein have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record based on trading actual client portfolios, 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 reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis. Past Performance The past performance of securities, indexes or other instruments referred to herein does not guarantee or predict future performance.
