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 powersharesetns.com | dbfunds. db.com/notes or EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

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. LBND PowerShares DB 3x Long 25+ Year Treasury Bond ETN SBND PowerShares DB 3x Short 25+ Year Treasury Bond ETN 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.

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.
