General
The notes are designed for investors who seek a return at maturity of at least 350.00% (to be determined on the Trade Date) of any increase in the price or level, as applicable, of the lesser performing of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF (the “Fund”) and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the “Index,” and each of the Fund and the Index, an “Underlying”). If the Final Level of the lesser performing Underlying, which we refer to as the “Laggard Underlying,” is less than its Initial Level but greater than or equal to its Trigger Level, investors will receive a cash payment per $1,000 Face Amount of securities at maturity equal to the Face Amount. However, if the Final Level of the Laggard Underlying is less than its Trigger Level, for each $1,000 Face Amount of securities, investors will lose 1.00% of the Face Amount for every 1.00% by which the Final Level of the Laggard Underlying is less than its Initial Level. Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer.

n  Any payment on the securities is subject to the credit of the Issuer.

Selected Risk Factors

 

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlyings or in any of the components of the Underlyings. The below summary of selected risk factors does not describe all of the risks associated with an investment in the securities. You should read the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of the accompanying preliminary product supplement No. 3084B at the link referenced above, as well as the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, for a more complete description of risks relating to the securities.

 

·Your investment in the securities may result in a loss.

 

·The securities do not pay any coupons.

 

·Your Payment at Maturity will be determined by the Final Level of the Laggard Underlying.

 

·The securities are subject to the credit of Deutsche Bank AG.

 

·The securities may be written down, be converted into ordinary shares or other instruments of ownership or become subject to other resolution measures. You may lose some or all of your investment if any such measure becomes applicable to us.

 

·The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date will be less than the Issue Price of the securities.

 

·Investing in the securities is not the same as investing in the Underlyings or the securities composing the Underlyings.

 

·If the prices or levels, as applicable, of the Underlyings change, the value of your securities may not change in the same manner.

 

·No dividend payments or voting rights.

 

·Your investment is exposed to a decline in the price or level, as applicable, of each Underlying.

 

·Because the securities are linked to the lesser performing of the two Underlyings, you are exposed to a greater risk of losing some or all of your investment than if the securities were linked to just one Underlying.

 

·The Index reflects the price return of the stocks composing the Index, not their total return including all dividends and other distributions.

 

·The sponsor of the Index may adjust the Index in ways that affect the level of the Index and has no obligation to consider your interests.

 

·There are risks associated with investments linked to the values of equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies.

 

·The performance of the Index will not be adjusted for changes in the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

·We are one of the companies that make up the Index.

 

 

·The policies of the fund advisor and changes that affect the Fund or the tracked index could adversely affect the value of the securities.

 

·The performance of the Fund, particularly during periods of market volatility, may not match the performance of the tracked index or its net asset value per share.

 

·Anti-dilution protection is limited and the calculation agent may make adjustments in addition to, or that differ from, those set forth in the accompanying product supplement.

 

·The securities are subject to currency exchange rate risk.

 

·There is no affiliation between the Fund or the underlying stock issuers and us and we have not participated in the preparation of, or verified, any information about the Fund or the underlying stock issuers.

 

·Past performance of the Underlyings is no guide to future performance.

 

·Assuming no changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, the price you may receive for your securities in secondary market transactions would generally be lower than both the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date.

 

·The securities will not be listed and there will likely be limited liquidity.

 

·Many economic and market factors will affect the value of the securities.

 

·Trading and other transactions by us or our affiliates in the equity and equity derivative markets may impair the value of the securities.

 

·We or our affiliates may publish research, express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with investing in or holding the securities. Any such research, opinions or recommendations could adversely affect the prices or levels, as applicable, of the Underlyings and the value of the securities.

 

·Potential conflicts of interest exist because we and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities.

 

·The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain.
