Important Considerations: The PowerShares DB Base Metals 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. 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. The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, and the amount due on the PowerShares Base Metals ETNs is entirely dependent on Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to pay. The PowerShares Base Metals ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Base Metals 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 Base Metals ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless. Deutsche Bank may accelerate the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs upon a regulatory event affecting the ability to hedge the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may be sold throughout the day on NYSE Arca through any brokerage account. There are restrictions on the minimum number of PowerShares DB Base Metals 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 PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in losses. The PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs are concentrated in aluminum, copper and zinc futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Base Metals ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things, volatile base metal prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares DB Base Metals 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 Base Metals Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Base Metals 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.
