Explanatory note
On October 29, 2009, Deutsche Bank AG submitted a Report on Form 6-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission containing its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Such Report on Form 6-K included, as Exhibit 99.2 thereto, a capitalization table of Deutsche Bank AG as of September 30, 2009, footnote 2 of which stated “€ 4,109 million (3%) of our debt was secured as of September 30, 2009”. Such footnote should have read, and is hereby amended to read, “€ 5,619 million (3%) of our debt was secured as of September 30, 2009”.
This Report on Form 6-K contains as Exhibit 99.2 an amended version of the capitalization table reflecting this change. This Report on Form 6-K and such exhibit are hereby incorporated by reference into Registration Statement No. 333-162195 of Deutsche Bank AG.

Forward-looking statements contain risks
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations. Any statement in this report that states our intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our trading revenues, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our strategic initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of March 24, 2009 on pages 7 through 18 under the heading “Risk Factors.” Copies of this document are readily available upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/ir.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
