Investment Description
|
Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities (the “Securities”) are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the “Issuer”) with returns linked to the performance of the common stock of a specific company described herein (each, an “Underlying”). If the Closing Price of the Underlying on the applicable quarterly Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a quarterly contingent coupon (a “Contingent Coupon”). Otherwise, no coupon will be accrued or payable with respect to that Observation Date. If the Closing Price of the Underlying on any Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, Deutsche Bank AG will automatically call the Securities and pay you your initial investment plus the applicable Contingent Coupon for that Observation Date and no further amounts will be owed to you. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is not less than the Trigger Price (which is the same price as the applicable Coupon Barrier), at maturity Deutsche Bank AG will pay you an amount equal to your initial investment, plus the applicable Contingent Coupon for the final quarter. However, if the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you less than your initial investment resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount of Securities for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price. Under these circumstances you will lose a significant portion, and could lose all, of your initial investment. Investing in the Securities is subject to significant risks, including the risk of losing your entire initial investment. The contingent repayment of your initial investment applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment of Contingent Coupon, any payment upon an automatic call and any payment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer. If the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

q Contingent Coupon — If the Closing Price of the Underlying on the applicable quarterly Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a quarterly Contingent Coupon. Otherwise, no coupon will be payable with respect to that Observation Date.
q Automatically Callable — If the Closing Price of the Underlying on any Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, we will automatically call the Securities and pay you your initial investment plus the applicable Contingent Coupon for that Observation Date and no further amounts will be owed to you. If the Securities are not called, investors may have downside market exposure to the Underlying at maturity, subject to any contingent repayment of your initial investment.
q Downside Exposure with Contingent Repayment of Your Initial Investment at Maturity — If you hold the Securities to maturity and the Final Price is not less than the Trigger Price (or Coupon Barrier), we will pay you your initial investment at maturity, plus the applicable Contingent Coupon for the final quarter. If the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, however, Deutsche Bank AG will repay less than your initial investment, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount of Securities for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion, and could lose all, of your initial investment. The contingent repayment of your initial investment applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment of Contingent Coupon, any payment upon an automatic call and any payment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer. If the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL FACE AMOUNT OF SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE UNDERLYING. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING AN OBLIGATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES. THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 9 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.

Issuer’s Estimated Value of the Securities
|
The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities is equal to the sum of our valuations of the following two components of the Securities: (i) a bond and (ii) an embedded derivative(s). The value of the bond component of the Securities is calculated based on the present value of the stream of cash payments associated with a conventional bond with a principal amount equal to the Face Amount of Securities, discounted at an internal funding rate, which is determined primarily based on our market-based yield curve, adjusted to account for our funding needs and objectives for the period matching the term of the Securities. The internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional debt securities on equivalent terms. This difference in funding rate, as well as the agent’s commissions, if any, and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities, reduces the economic terms of the Securities to you and is expected to adversely affect the price at which you may be able to sell the Securities in any secondary market. The value of the embedded derivative(s) is calculated based on our internal pricing models using relevant parameter inputs such as expected interest and dividend rates and mid-market levels of price and volatility of the assets underlying the Securities or any futures, options or swaps related to such underlying assets. Our internal pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.
The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this pricing supplement) is less than the Issue Price of the Securities. The difference between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date is due to the inclusion in the Issue Price of the agent’s commissions, if any, and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities through one or more of our affiliates. Such hedging cost includes our or our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge.
The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date does not represent the price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your Securities in the secondary market at any time. Assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, would generally be lower than both the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date. Our purchase price, if any, in secondary market transactions will be based on the estimated value of the Securities determined by reference to (i) the then-prevailing internal funding rate (adjusted by a spread) or another appropriate measure of our cost of funds and (ii) our pricing models at that time, less a bid spread determined after taking into account the size of the repurchase, the nature of the assets underlying the Securities and then-prevailing market conditions. The price we report to financial reporting services and to distributors of our Securities for use on customer account statements would generally be determined on the same basis. However, during the period of approximately five months beginning from the Trade Date, we or our affiliates may, in our sole discretion, increase the purchase price determined as described above by an amount equal to the declining differential between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date, prorated over such period on a straight-line basis, for transactions that are individually and in the aggregate of the expected size for ordinary secondary market repurchases.

Key Risks
|
An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in each Security offered hereby are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Securities offered hereby.
|
¨
|
Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss of Your Initial Investment — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that Deutsche Bank AG will not necessarily pay you your initial investment in the Securities at maturity. If the Securities are not automatically called, the return on the Securities at maturity will depend on whether the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you your initial investment plus the applicable Contingent Coupon otherwise due on the Maturity Date. However, if the Securities are not automatically called on any Observation Date and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, you will be fully exposed to any negative Underlying Return, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount of Securities for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion, and could lose all, of your initial investment.
|
|
¨
|
Your Potential Return on the Securities Is Limited to the Face Amount Plus Any Contingent Coupons and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation in the Price of the Underlying — The Securities will not pay more than the Face Amount plus any Contingent Coupons payable over the term of the Securities. Therefore, your potential return on the Securities will be limited to the Contingent Coupon Rate, but the total return will vary based on the number of Observation Dates on which the requirement for a Contingent Coupon has been met prior to maturity or an automatic call. If the Securities are automatically called, you will not participate in any appreciation in the price of the Underlying and you will not receive any Contingent Coupons in respect of any Observation Date after the applicable Call Settlement Date. If the Securities are automatically called on the first Observation Date, the total return on the Securities will be minimal. If the Securities are not automatically called, you may be subject to the full downside performance of the Underlying even though you were not able to participate in any of the Underlying’s potential appreciation.
|
|
¨
|
You May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupons — Deutsche Bank AG will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Securities. If the Closing Price of the Underlying on any Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, Deutsche Bank AG will not pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to such Observation Date. If the Closing Price of the Underlying is less than the Coupon Barrier on each of the Observation Dates, Deutsche Bank AG will not pay you any Contingent Coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your Securities.
|
|
¨
|
Contingent Repayment of Your Initial Investment Applies Only if You Hold the Securities to Maturity — If your Securities are not automatically called, you should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the Closing Price of the Underlying is above the Trigger Price.
|
|
¨
|
Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Generally Associated with a Greater Risk of Loss — Greater expected volatility with respect to the Underlying reflects a higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the Closing Price of the Underlying could close below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date of the Securities. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher Contingent Coupon Rate for the Securities. However, while the Contingent Coupon Rate is set on the Trade Date, the Underlying’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Securities. The price of the Underlying could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of your initial investment.
|
|
¨
|
Reinvestment Risk — If your Securities are called early, the holding period over which you would receive any applicable Contingent Coupon, which is based on the relevant Contingent Coupon Rate as specified on the cover hereof, could be as little as three months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the Securities are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date.
|
|
¨
|
Risks Relating to the Credit of the Issuer — The Securities are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment(s) to be made on the Securities, including any payment of Contingent Coupon, any payment upon an automatic call or any repayment of your initial investment provided at maturity, depends on the ability of Deutsche Bank AG to satisfy its obligations as they come due. An actual or anticipated downgrade in Deutsche Bank AG’s credit rating or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk will likely have an adverse effect on the value of the Securities. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG will affect the value of the Securities, and in the event Deutsche Bank AG were to default on its obligations, you might not receive any amount(s) owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.
|
|
¨
|
The Issuer’s Estimated Value of the Securities on the Trade Date Will Be Less than the Issue Price of the Securities — The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this pricing supplement) is less than the Issue Price of the Securities. The difference between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date is due to the inclusion in the Issue Price of the agent’s commissions, if any, and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities through one or more of our affiliates. Such hedging cost includes our or our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities is determined by reference to an internal funding rate and our pricing models. The internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional debt securities on equivalent terms. This difference in funding rate, as well as the agent’s commissions, if any, and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities, reduces the economic terms of the Securities to you and is expected to adversely affect the price at which you may be able to sell the Securities in any secondary market. In addition, our internal pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. If at any time a third party dealer were to quote a price to purchase your Securities or otherwise value your Securities, that price or value may differ materially from the estimated value of the Securities determined by reference to our internal funding rate and pricing models. This difference is due to, among other things, any difference in funding rates, pricing models or assumptions used by any dealer who may purchase the Securities in the secondary market.

¨
|
No Dividend Payments or Voting Rights — As a holder of the Securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Underlying would have.
|
|
¨
|
Investing in the Securities Is Not the Same as Investing in the Underlying — The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you invested directly in the Underlying. For instance, you will not participate in any potential appreciation of the Underlying, which could be significant.
|
|
¨
|
Single Stock Risk — Each Security is linked to the equity securities of a single Underlying. The price of each Underlying can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such Underlying and its issuer (the “Underlying Issuer”), such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Underlying Issuer with the SEC.
|
|
¨
|
If the Price of the Underlying Changes, the Value of Your Securities May Not Change in the Same Manner — Your Securities may trade quite differently from the Underlying. Changes in the market price of the Underlying may not result in a comparable change in the value of your Securities.
|
|
¨
|
The Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the relevant Stock Adjustment Factor, which will initially be set at 1.0, and the Payment at Maturity in the case of certain corporate events affecting the Underlying. The calculation agent is not required, however, to make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the relevant Underlying. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the Securities may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, you should be aware that the calculation agent may, at its sole discretion, make adjustments to the relevant Stock Adjustment Factor or any other terms of the Securities that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described in the accompanying product supplement to reflect changes occurring in relation to the Underlying in circumstances where the calculation agent determines that it is appropriate to reflect those changes to ensure an equitable result. Any alterations to the specified anti-dilution adjustments for the Underlying described in the accompanying product supplement may be materially adverse to investors in the Securities. You should read “Description of Securities — Anti-Dilution Adjustments for Reference Stock” in the accompanying product supplement in order to understand the adjustments that may be made to the Securities.
|
|
¨
|
There Is No Affiliation Between the Underlying Issuers and Us, and We Have Not Participated in the Preparation of, or Independently Verified, Any Disclosure by Such Underlying Issuers — We are not affiliated with the Underlying Issuers. However, we and our affiliates may currently or from time to time in the future engage in business with the Underlying Issuers. Nevertheless, neither we nor our affiliates have participated in the preparation of, or independently verified, any information about the Underlyings and the Underlying Issuers. You, as an investor in the Securities, should make your own investigation into the Underlyings and the Underlying Issuers. None of the Underlying Issuers is involved in the Securities offered hereby in any way and none of them has any obligation of any sort with respect to your Securities. None of the Underlying Issuers has any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your Securities.
|
|
¨
|
Past Performance of the Underlying Is No Guide to Future Performance — The actual performance of the Underlying may bear little relation to the historical closing prices of the relevant Underlying, and may bear little relation to the hypothetical return examples set forth elsewhere in this pricing supplement. We cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying.
|
|
¨
|
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 — While the payment(s) on the Securities described in this pricing supplement is based on the full Face Amount of your Securities, the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this pricing supplement) is less than the Issue Price of the Securities. The Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date does not represent the price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your Securities in the secondary market at any time. Assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, would generally be lower than both the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date. Our purchase price, if any, in secondary market transactions would be based on the estimated value of the Securities determined by reference to (i) the then-prevailing internal funding rate (adjusted by a spread) or another appropriate measure of our cost of funds and (ii) our pricing models at that time, less a bid spread determined after taking into account the size of the repurchase, the nature of the assets underlying the Securities and then-prevailing market conditions. The price we report to financial reporting services and to distributors of our Securities for use on customer account statements would generally be determined on the same basis. However, during the period of approximately five months beginning from the Trade Date, we or our affiliates may, in our sole discretion, increase the purchase price determined as described above by an amount equal to the declining differential between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date, prorated over such period on a straight-line basis, for transactions that are individually and in the aggregate of the expected size for ordinary secondary market repurchases.
|
In addition to the factors discussed above, the value of the Securities and our purchase price in secondary market transactions after the Trade Date, if any, will vary based on many economic market factors, including our creditworthiness, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. These changes may adversely affect the value of your Securities, including the price you may receive in any secondary market transactions. Any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The Securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Securities to maturity.
|
¨
|
There May Be Little or No Secondary Market for the Securities — The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. We or our affiliates intend to offer to purchase the Securities in the secondary market but are not required to do so and may cease such market making activities at any time. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell your Securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates may be willing to buy the Securities.
|

|
¨
|
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Affect the Value of the Securities — While we expect that, generally, the price of the Underlying will affect the value of the Securities more than any other single factor, the value of the Securities prior to maturity will also be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
|
|
|
¨
|
the expected volatility of the Underlying;
|
|
|
¨
|
the time remaining to maturity of the Securities;
|
|
|
¨
|
the market price and dividend rates of the Underlying and the stock market generally;
|
|
|
¨
|
the real and anticipated results of operations of the Underlying Issuer;
|
|
|
¨
|
actual or anticipated corporate reorganization events, such as mergers or takeovers, which may affect the Underlying Issuer;
|
|
|
¨
|
interest rates and yields in the market generally and in the markets of the Underlying;
|
|
|
¨
|
geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlying or markets generally;
|
|
|
¨
|
supply and demand for the Securities; and
|
|
|
¨
|
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
|
|
¨
|
Trading and Other Transactions by Us or Our Affiliates, or UBS AG or its Affiliates, in the Equity and Equity Derivative Markets May Affect the Value of the Securities — We or one or more of our affiliates expect to hedge our exposure from the Securities by entering into equity and equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options or exchange-traded instruments. Such trading and hedging activities may affect the Underlying and make it less likely that you will receive a positive return on your investment in the Securities. It is possible that we or our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the value of the Securities declines. We or our affiliates, or UBS AG or its affiliates, may also engage in trading in instruments linked to the Underlying on a regular basis as part of our general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including block transactions. We or our affiliates, or UBS AG or its affiliates, may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to the Underlying. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or our affiliates, or UBS AG or its affiliates, could adversely affect the value of the Securities. Any of the foregoing activities described in this paragraph may reflect trading strategies that differ from, or are in direct opposition to, investors’ trading and investment strategies related to the Securities.
|
|
¨
|
We, Our Affiliates or Our Agents, or UBS AG or its 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 Stock Price of the Underlying and the Value of the Securities — We, our affiliates or our agents, or UBS AG or its affiliates, may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that could adversely affect the value of the Securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by us, our affiliates or our agents, or UBS AG or its affiliates, may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Securities and the Underlying to which the Securities are linked.
|
|
¨
|
Potential Deutsche Bank AG Impact on Price — Trading or transactions by Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates in the Underlying and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the Underlying, may adversely affect the market price of the Underlying and therefore, the value of the Securities.
|
|
¨
|
Potential Conflict of Interest — Deutsche Bank AG and its affiliates may engage in business with the Underlying Issuer, which may present a conflict between the obligations of Deutsche Bank AG and you, as a holder of the Securities. Deutsche Bank AG, as the calculation agent, will determine the Final Price of the Underlying and payment at maturity or upon an automatic call based on the Closing Price of the Underlying in the market. The calculation agent can postpone the determination of the Closing Price of the Underlying if a market disruption event occurs on any of the Observation Dates. Deutsche Bank AG has determined the Issuer’s estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date and will determine the price, if any, at which Deutsche Bank AG or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions. In performing these roles, our economic interests and those of our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities.

There Is Substantial Uncertainty Regarding the U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities — There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the Securities as prepaid financial contracts that are not debt, with associated contingent coupons, as described below under “What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Securities could be materially affected. In addition, as described below under “What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?”, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Scenario Analysis and Hypothetical Examples of Payment upon an Automatic Call or at Maturity
|
The following table and hypothetical examples below illustrate the payment upon an automatic call or at maturity for a hypothetical range of performances for an Underlying. The following examples and table are hypothetical and provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to be representative of every possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in the price of any Underlying relative to its Initial Price. We cannot predict the Final Price or the Closing Price of any Underlying on any of the Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date). You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of any Underlying. You should consider carefully whether the Securities are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers in the examples and table below have been rounded for ease of analysis and it has been assumed that no event affecting an Underlying has occurred during the term of the Securities that would cause the calculation agent to adjust the Stock Adjustment Factor.
The following examples and table illustrate the payment at maturity or upon an automatic call per Security on a hypothetical offering of Securities based on the following assumptions*:
|
Term:
|
Approximately eighteen months, subject to an automatic call
|
|
Hypothetical Initial Price*:
|
$50.00
|
|
Hypothetical Trigger Price*:
|
$37.50 (75.00% of the Hypothetical Initial Price)
|
|
Hypothetical Coupon Barrier*:
|
$37.50 (75.00% of the Hypothetical Initial Price)
|
|
Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Rate*:
|
8.00% per annum (or 2.00% per quarter)
|
|
Hypothetical Contingent Coupon*:
|
$0.20 per quarter
|
|
Observation Dates:
|
Quarterly
|

*
|
Based on a hypothetical Contingent Coupon Rate of 8.00% per annum. The actual Initial Price, Contingent Coupon Rate, Coupon Barrier and Trigger Price for each Security are set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement and in “Final Terms.” The actual Contingent Coupon for each Security is set forth in “Final Terms.”

|
$10.20 (2.00% return)
|
Since the Securities are called on the first Observation Date, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date a total of $10.20 per Security, reflecting the Face Amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon and representing a 2.00% total return on the Securities. No further amount will be owed to you under the Securities.

|
Since the Securities are called on the third Observation Date, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date a total of $10.20 per Security, reflecting the Face Amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon. When added to the Contingent Coupon payments of $0.40 paid in respect of prior Observation Dates, Deutsche Bank AG will have paid you a total of approximately $10.60 per Security, representing a 6.00% total return on the Securities. No further amount will be owed to you under the Securities.

At maturity, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a total of $10.20 per Security, reflecting the Face Amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon. When added to the Contingent Coupon payment of $0.20 paid in respect of prior Observation Dates, Deutsche Bank AG will have paid you a total of approximately $10.40 per Security, representing a 4.00% total return on the Securities.

$10.00 + [$10.00 × Underlying Return] = $10.00 + [$10.00 × -70%] =
$10.00 - $7.00 =
$3.00 (Payment at Maturity)
|
|
Total Payment:
|
$4.00 (-60.00% return)
|
Since the Securities are not called and the Final Price of the Underlying is less than the Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you at maturity $3.00 per Security. When added to the Contingent Coupon payments of $1.00 paid in respect of prior Observation Dates, Deutsche Bank AG will have paid you $4.00 per Security, representing a loss on the Securities of 60.00%.
If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, your initial investment will be fully exposed to any negative Underlying Return, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount of Securities for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price. Under these circumstances, you will lose a significant portion, and could lose all, of your initial investment. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment of Contingent Coupon, any payment upon an automatic call and any payment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer.

What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?
|
Due to the lack of direct legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities. In determining our responsibilities for information reporting and withholding, if any, we intend to treat the Securities as prepaid financial contracts that are not debt, with associated contingent coupons that constitute ordinary income and that, when paid to a non-U.S. holder, are generally subject to 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has advised that while it believes this treatment to be reasonable, it is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that this treatment will be upheld, and that other reasonable treatments are possible that could materially affect the timing and character of income or loss on your Securities. If this treatment is respected, you generally should recognize short-term capital gain or loss on the taxable disposition (including retirement) of your Securities, unless you have held the Securities for more than one year, in which case your gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss. However, it is likely that any sales proceeds that are attributable to the next succeeding contingent coupon after it has been fixed will be treated as ordinary income and also possible that any sales proceeds attributable to the next succeeding contingent coupon prior to the time it has been fixed will be treated as ordinary income.
In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether beneficial owners of these instruments should be required to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect.
You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Securities.
Under current law, the United Kingdom will not impose withholding tax on payments made with respect to the Securities.
For a discussion of certain German tax considerations relating to the Securities, you should refer to the section in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders.”
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

|
UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliates, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., acting as agents for Deutsche Bank AG, will receive or allow as a concession or reallowance to other dealers discounts and commissions of $0.15 per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities. We have agreed that UBS Financial Services Inc. may sell all or part of the Securities that it purchases from us to investors at the price to public indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement, or to its affiliates at the price to public indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement minus a concession not to exceed the discounts and commissions indicated on the cover. DBSI, one of the agents for these offerings, is our affiliate. Because DBSI is both our affiliate and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

Validity of the Securities
|
In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States products counsel to the Issuer, when the Securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by the Issuer and authenticated by the authenticating agent, acting on behalf of the trustee, pursuant to the senior indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Securities will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith), provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by German law, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has relied, without independent investigation, on the opinion of Group Legal Services of Deutsche Bank AG, dated as of September 28, 2012, filed as an exhibit to the letter of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, and this opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations with respect to such matters as are contained in such opinion of Group Legal Services of Deutsche Bank AG. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the senior indenture and the authentication of the Securities by the authenticating agent and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the senior indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the letter of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP dated September 28, 2012, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement referred to above.
