Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves risks. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes. For a
complete list of risk factors, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

·
AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY BE RISKIER THAN AN INVESTMENT IN NOTES WITH A SHORTER
TERM -- The notes have a term of eighteen years, subject to our right to redeem the notes starting on July 31,
2013. By purchasing notes with a longer term, you wil have greater exposure to the risk that the value of the
notes may decline due to such factors as inflation and rising interest rates. If market interest rates rise during the
term of the notes, the interest rate on the notes may be lower than the interest rates for similar debt securities
then prevailing in the market. If this occurs, you wil not be able to require the Issuer to redeem the notes and
wil , therefore, bear the risk of earning a lower return than you could earn on other investments until the Maturity
Date.

·
THE NOTES MAY BE REDEEMED PRIOR TO THE MATURITY DATE -- We may, in our sole discretion,
redeem the notes on any Interest Payment Date on or after July 31, 2013. We are more likely to redeem the
notes during periods when the remaining interest is to accrue on the notes at a rate greater than what we would
pay on a comparable debt security of ours with a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the notes. If we
redeem the notes, you may not be able to reinvest your funds in another investment that provides a similar yield
with a similar level of risk.

·
THE STEP-UP FEATURE PRESENTS DIFFERENT INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS THAN FIXED-RATE
NOTES -- Because we have the right to redeem the notes on any Interest Payment Date on or after July 31,
2013, the term of the notes could be as short as one year. You wil not receive the higher interest rates of
3.125%, 3.250%, 4.000% or 5.000% per annum if we exercise our right to redeem the notes on or prior to July
31, 2022. When determining whether to invest in the notes, you should consider, among other things, the overal
Interest Rates of the notes as compared to the interest rates of other equivalent investment alternatives rather
than the higher stated Interest Rates of the notes or any potential interest payments you may receive after the
first year fol owing the issuance of the notes.

·
CREDIT OF THE ISSUER -- The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, and
are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any interest payments to be made on the
notes depend on the ability of Deutsche Bank AG to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the
actual and perceived creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG wil affect the value of the notes and in the event
Deutsche Bank AG were to default on its obligations you may not receive interest and principal payments owed to
you under the terms of the notes.

·
THE NOTES ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE SHORT-TERM TRADING INSTRUMENTS -- The price at which
you wil be able to sel your notes to us or our affiliates prior to maturity, if at all, may be at a substantial discount
from the Principal Amount of the notes. The potential returns described in this pricing supplement assume that
your notes, which are not designed to be short-term trading instruments, are held to maturity.

·
ASSUMING NO CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS, THE VALUE
OF THE NOTES ON THE SETTLEMENT DATE (AS DETERMINED BY DEUTSCHE BANK AG) WILL BE
LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL ISSUE PRICE -- While the interest payments described in this pricing supplement
is based on the ful Principal Amount of your notes, the Issue Price of the notes includes the agents' commission
and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. Our hedging costs
include the projected profit that we or our affiliates are expected to realize in consideration for assuming the risks
inherent in managing the hedging transactions. Therefore, the value of the notes on the Settlement Date,
assuming no changes in market conditions or other relevant factors, will be less than the Issue Price. The
inclusion of commissions and hedging costs in the Issue Price wil also decrease the price, if any, at which we wil
be wil ing to purchase the notes after the Settlement Date, and any sale on the secondary market could result in a
substantial loss to you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should
be wil ing and able to hold your notes to maturity.

·
THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY -- The notes will not
be listed on any securities exchange. Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates may offer to purchase the notes 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 the notes easily.
Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be
able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates are
wil ing to buy the notes.

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159508/000095010312003783...

·
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES -- The value of the
notes wil be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other,
including:

·
the time remaining to maturity of the notes;

·
trends relating to inflation;

·
interest rates and yields in the market general y;

·
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and

·
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings, financial condition or
results of operations.

·
TRADING AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS BY US OR OUR AFFILIATES MAY IMPAIR THE VALUE OF THE
NOTES -- We and our affiliates expect to engage in hedging and trading activities related to the Interest Rates
of the notes. We may have hedged our obligations under the notes directly or through certain affiliates, and we or
they would expect to make a profit on any such hedge. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be
influenced by market forces beyond our or our affiliates' control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more
or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. Although they are not expected to, these hedging activities may
adversely affect the level of the interest rates available in the market and, therefore, the value of the notes. It is
possible that Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities
while the value of the notes declines. Our trading activities related to the Interest Rates of the notes may be
entered into on behalf of Deutsche Bank AG, its affiliates or customers other than for the account of the holders
of the notes or on their behalf. Accordingly, these trading activities may present conflicts of interest between
Deutsche Bank AG and you. Any of the foregoing activities described in this risk consideration may reflect trading
strategies that differ from, or are in direct opposition to, investors' trading and investment strategies relating to
the notes.

·
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST EXIST BECAUSE WE AND THE CALCULATION AGENT FOR THE
NOTES, ARE THE SAME LEGAL ENTITY -- Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is the Issuer of the notes and
the calculation agent for the notes. While Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch wil act in good faith and in a
commercially reasonable manner in making al determinations with respect to the notes including the amount of
interest payable on each Interest Payment Date, there can be no assurance that any determinations made by
Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch in these capacities wil not affect the value of the notes. Because
determinations made by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch as the calculation agent for the notes, may affect the
interest payment and Payment at Maturity, potential conflicts of interest may exist between Deutsche Bank AG,
London Branch and you, as a holder of the notes. Furthermore, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch or one or
more of its affiliates may have published, and may in the future publish, research reports on movements in interest
rates general y. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide
recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the notes. Any of these activities may affect the
value of the notes or the potential payout on the notes.

·
TREATED AS FIXED RATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS -- You should review careful y the section of the
accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "United States Federal Income Tax Consequences." The notes wil
be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as fixed rate debt instruments that are issued without original
issue discount.

Interest paid on a note wil be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it accrues or is received in
accordance with your method of tax accounting. Upon the sale or exchange of a note prior to maturity, you wil
recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and your tax basis in the note.
For this purpose, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued interest, which wil be
treated as a payment of interest that is taxed as described above. In general, gain or loss realized upon the sale
or exchange of a note wil be capital gain or loss and wil be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the
note for more than one year.

notes.

notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing
jurisdiction.
