Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | Depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
| · | Payments on the notes, including any repayment of principal, are subject to Deutsche Bank’s credit risk and any resolution measure imposed by its competent resolution authority, and any actual or perceived changes in its creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If Deutsche Bank becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its obligations, or any resolution measure becomes applicable to it, you may lose your entire investment. |
| · | Changes in the level of one of the Basket Components may be offset by changes in the levels of the other Basket Components. |
| · | The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price. |
| · | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. |
| · | You will have no rights of a holder of the securities included in the Basket Components, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities. |
| · | Your return on the notes may be affected by factors affecting international securities markets, specifically changes in the countries represented by the Basket Components. In addition, although you will not obtain the benefit of any increase in the value of the currencies the Basket Components are calculated in against the U.S. dollar during the term of your notes that you would have received if you had owned the securities included in the Basket Components, the value of the notes may be adversely affected by general exchange rate movements in the market. |
