PowerShares DB 3x Long 25+ Year Treasury Bond ETN
PowerShares DB 3x Short 25+ Year Treasury Bond ETN
What are the PowerShares DB US 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 US Treasury Bond Futures Index or the DB Short US
Treasury Bond Futures Index, as applicable, with returns on the DB 3-Month
T-Bill Index.
The DB Long US Treasury Bond Futures Index measures the performance of a long
investment in the CBOT Ultra T-Bond futures and the DB Short US 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 US
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.

Important Risk Considerations:
The ETNs may not be suitable for investors seeking an investment with a term
greater than the time remaining to the next monthly reset date and should be
used only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential adverse
consequences of seeking longer term inverse or leveraged investment results by
means of securities that reset their exposure monthly.
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, full principal at risk, 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 repurchase 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.
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.
The ETNs provide concentrated exposure to notional positions in US 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.
