Responsibility Statement
Deutsche Telekom AG ("Deutsche Telekom AG", the "Guarantor" or the "Company" and together with its
consolidated subsidiaries, "Deutsche Telekom", the "Group" or "Deutsche Telekom Group") with its
registered office in Bonn and Deutsche Telekom International Finance B.V. ("Finance") with its registered
office in Maastricht (each an "Issuer" and together the "Issuers") are solely responsible for the information
given in this Prospectus and for the information which will be contained in the Final Terms (as defined herein),
provided that:
Finance is not responsible for the description of Deutsche Telekom.
Each Issuer hereby declares that, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the
information contained in this Prospectus for which it is responsible is, to the best of its knowledge, in
accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import.
Notice
This Prospectus should be read and construed in conjunction with any supplement thereto and with any
document incorporated herein by reference (the "Reference Documents"). Full information on each Issuer
and any tranche of Notes (as hereinafter defined) is only available on the basis of the Prospectus as
supplemented, together with the Reference Documents and the relevant final terms (the "Final Terms").
Each Issuer has confirmed to the dealers set forth on the cover page and any additional dealer appointed from
time to time under the Programme (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers") that this Prospectus
contains, as of the date hereof, all information with regard to the Issuers and the Notes which is material in the
context of the Programme and the issue and offering of Notes thereunder; that the information contained
herein with respect to the Issuers and the Notes is accurate in all material respects and is not misleading; that
any opinions and intentions expressed herein are honestly held and based on reasonable assumptions; that
there are no other facts, the omission of which would make any statement, whether fact or opinion, in this
Prospectus misleading in any material respect; and that all reasonable enquiries have been made to ascertain
all facts and to verify the accuracy of all statements contained herein.
No person has been authorised to give any information which is not contained in or not consistent with this
Prospectus or any other document entered into in relation to the Programme or any information supplied by
any Issuer or such other information as in the public domain and, if given or made, such information must not
be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Dealers or any of them.
Neither the Arranger nor any Dealer nor any other person mentioned in this Prospectus, excluding the
Issuers, is responsible for the information contained in this Prospectus or any supplement thereof, or any
Final Terms or any other Reference Document, and accordingly, and to the extent permitted by the laws of
any relevant jurisdiction, none of these persons accepts any responsibility as to the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained in any of these documents.
This Prospectus is valid for 12 months after its approval and this Prospectus and any supplement hereto as
well as any Final Terms reflect the status as of their respective dates of issue. The delivery of this Prospectus
as supplemented or any Final Terms and the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes may not be taken as an
implication that the information contained in such documents is accurate and complete subsequent to their
respective dates of issue or that there has been no adverse change in the financial condition of each of the
Issuers since such date or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is accurate
at any time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document
containing the same.
Each of the Issuers has undertaken with the Dealers to supplement this Prospectus or publish a new
Prospectus at any time after submission of the Prospectus for approval to the Commission if and when the
information herein should become materially inaccurate or incomplete or in the event of any significant new
factor, that is capable of affecting the assessment of the Notes by potential Investors.
The Notes will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will include
Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may
not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons, see "Selling Restrictions".
The distribution of this Prospectus and any Final Terms and the offering, sale and delivery of the Notes in
certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Final
Terms comes are required by the Issuers and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any
2

such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers, sales and deliveries of Notes and on the
distribution of this Prospectus or any Final Terms and other offering material relating to the Notes, see "Selling
Restrictions".
This Prospectus is drawn up in the English language. The German versions of the English language Terms
and Conditions and Guarantee are shown in this Prospectus for additional information. As to form and
content, and all rights and obligations of the Holders and the Issuer under the Notes to be issued, German is
the controlling legally binding language if so specified in the relevant Final Terms. In respect of the Guarantee,
the German language version is always controlling and legally binding as to form and content, and all rights
and obligations of the Holders and the Guarantor thereunder. The Issuers accept responsibility for the
information contained in this Prospectus and confirm that the non-binding translation of the Terms and
Conditions, either in the German or English language, correctly and adequately reflects the respective binding
language version.
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which
will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the
Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a
"distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to
Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and
determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"), any
Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the
Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the
MiFID Product Governance Rules.
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For
these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in
point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as
amended or superseded, the "Insurance Mediation Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined
in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
This Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for which it has been published.
Each Dealer and/or each further financial intermediary subsequently reselling or finally placing Notes
issued under the Programme is entitled to use the Prospectus as set out in "Consent to the Use of
the Prospectus" below.
This Prospectus and any Final Terms must not be used for the purpose of an offer or solicitation by
anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorised or to any person to
whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer(s) who is(are)
specified in the relevant Final Terms as the stabilising manager(s) (or persons acting on its(their)
behalf) may overallot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes at a
level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily
occur. Any stabilisation action may begin at any time after the adequate public disclosure of the final
terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later
than the earlier of 30 days after the Issue Date and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the
relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilising action or over-allotment must be conducted by the
relevant stabilising manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in
accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
All terms not otherwise defined in this Prospectus shall have the meaning as set out in the "Terms and
Conditions" of the Notes.
3

Any websites included in the Prospectus, except for the website www.bourse.lu in the context of the
documents incorporated by reference, are for information purposes only and do not form part of the
Prospectus.
Amounts payable under Floating Rate Notes are calculated by reference to (i) EURIBOR (Euro Interbank
Offered Rate) which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute ("EMMI") or (ii) LIBOR (London
Interbank Offered Rate) which is provided by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited ("IBA"). As at the
date of this Prospectus, IBA does appear whereas EMMI does not appear on the register of administrators
and benchmarks established and maintained by the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA")
pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) ("BMR"). As far as the
Issuers are aware, the transitional provisions in Article 51 of the BMR apply, such that EMMI is not currently
required to obtain authorisation or registration (or, if located outside the European Union, recognition,
endorsement or equivalence).
Forward-Looking Statements
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. A forward-looking statement is a statement that
does not relate to historical facts and events. They are based on analyses or forecasts of future results and
estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable. These forward-looking statements are identified by
the use of terms and phrases such as "anticipate", "believe", "could", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may",
"plan", "predict", "project", "will" and similar terms and phrases, including references and assumptions. This
applies, in particular, to statements in this Prospectus containing information on future earning capacity, plans
and expectations regarding Deutsche Telekom Group's business and management, its growth and
profitability, and general economic and regulatory conditions and other factors that affect it.
Forward-looking statements in this Prospectus are based on current estimates and assumptions that the
Issuers make to the best of their present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including Deutsche Telekom Group's
financial condition and results of operations, to differ materially from and be worse than results that have
expressly or implicitly been assumed or described in these forward-looking statements. Deutsche Telekom
Group's business is also subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause a forward-looking
statement, estimate or prediction in this Prospectus to become inaccurate. Accordingly, investors are strongly
advised to read the following sections of this Prospectus: "Risk Factors", "Deutsche Telekom AG" and
"Deutsche Telekom Finance International B.V.". These sections include more detailed descriptions of factors
that might have an impact on Deutsche Telekom's business and the markets in which it operates.
In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, future events described in this Prospectus may not
occur. In addition, neither the Issuers nor the Dealers assume any obligation, except as required by law, to
update any forward-looking statement or to conform these forward-looking statements to actual events or
developments.

EBITDA, EBITDA (adjusted for special factors), EBITDA margin, Net debt and Free Cash Flow
are so-called alternative performance measures. They should not be viewed in isolation as an
alternative to key performance indicators presented in accordance with IFRS.
EBITDA corresponds to EBIT (profit/loss from operations) before depreciation, amortisation
and impairment losses.
EBITDA (adjusted for special factors) corresponds to EBITDA adjusted for staff-related
measures, non-staff related restructuring, effects of de-consolidations, disposals and
acquisitions, impairment losses and other effects that generally do not arise in conjunction
within the ordinary course of business.
EBITDA margin (adjusted for special factors) is the ratio of EBITDA (adjusted for special
factors) to net revenue.
Net debt is calculated as the Group's gross debt (sum of current and non-current financial
liabilities minus, accrued interest and other financial liabilities) minus certain financial assets
(cash and cash equivalents, available for sale financial assets / financial assets held for
9

trading, derivative financial assets and other financial assets).
Free Cash Flow (before dividend payments and spectrum investment) is calculated as Net
cash from operating activities minus cash outflows for investments in intangible assets
(excluding goodwill and before spectrum investment) and property, plant and equipment plus
proceeds from disposal of intangible assets (excluding goodwill) and property, plant and
equipment.
