Preliminary Offering Documents
|
|
Exchange Listing
|
No
|
·
|
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 Basket Components or the securities held by the Basket Components.
|
·
|
Changes in the price of one Basket Component may be offset by changes in the price 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 shares of the Basket Components or the securities held by the Basket Components, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers of those securities.
|
·
|
The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all events that could affect the Basket Components.
|
·
|
Your return on the notes may be affected by exchange rate movements and factors affecting the international securities markets.
|
·
|
The performance of each Basket Component and the performance of the related underlying indices may vary.
|
·
|
Because the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF is a Basket Component, an investment in the notes will involve risks that are associated with investments that are linked to the equity securities of issuers from emerging markets.
