The inception date of the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Gold[] is May 24, 2006.

The Gold Index is intended to reflect changes in the market value of certain gold futures contracts and is comprised of a single unfunded gold futures contract. 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.

An investment in the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see "Risk Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement. Not FDIC Insured -- No Bank Guarantee -- May Lose Value The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch that are linked to the Index. The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Gold 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 PowerShares DB Gold ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply, and there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in losses. An investment in the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are concentrated in gold. The market value of the PowerShares DB Gold ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things, volatile gold prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in interest rates and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity products linked to more than one commodity sector. The PowerShares DB Gold Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Gold Double Short ETN are both 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. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents filed by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting dbfunds.db.com or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you may request a prospectus by calling 800.983.0903, or you may request a copy from any dealer participating in this offering. The PowerShares DB Gold ETNs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking monthly leveraged investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investing in the ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components because the current principal amount (the amount you invested) 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 securities. 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 securities may not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances.
