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:
 
·
If the notes are not automatically called, 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 the credit risk of Deutsche Bank and any resolution measure imposed by its competent resolution authority, and 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.
 
·
Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the applicable call premium and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the stocks included in the Basket Components.
 
·
Changes in the level of one Basket Component may be offset by changes in the level of the other Basket Component.
 
·
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 represented by 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 the international securities markets, specifically changes within the Eurozone.
