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.

(2)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. 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. 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. As described in the pricing supplement, Deutsche Bank may redeem the ETNs for an amount in cash equal to the repurchase value. 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. Not FDIC Insured -- No Bank Guarantee -- May Lose Value (3)Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Invesco PowerShares and their affi liates do not provide tax advice, and nothing contained herein should be construed to be tax advice.

Issuer Details Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch Long-term Unsecured Obligations(2) 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 fi led 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. Signifi cant adverse monthly performances for your ETNs may not be offset by any benefi cial monthly performances.
