Table of Contents
In particular, in June 2015, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") published the Product Intervention (Contingent
Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (the "PI I nst rum e nt "). In addition (i) on January 1, 2018, the
provisions of Regulation (EU) No.1286/2014 on key information documents for packaged and retail and insurance-based investment
products ("PRI I Ps") became directly applicable in all EEA member states and (ii) the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended) ("M iFI D I I ") was required to be implemented in EEA member states by January 3, 2018. The PI Instrument,
PRIIPs and MiFID II are referred to together as the "Re gula t ions".
The Regulations set out various obligations in relation to (i) the manufacture and distribution of financial instruments and (ii) the
offering, sale and distribution of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products and certain contingent write down or convertible
securities, such as the Notes.
Potential investors in the Notes should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory
guidance with respect to any resale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) including the Regulations.
Certain of the underwriters are required to comply with some or all of the Regulations. By purchasing, or making or accepting an
offer to purchase, any Notes (or a beneficial interest in such Notes) from us and/or the underwriters, you represent, warrant, agree with
and undertake to us and each of the underwriters that:

1.
you are not a retail client in the EEA or in the United Kingdom (as defined in MiFID II);

2.
whether or not you are subject to the Regulations, you will not:

a.
sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients in the EEA or in the United Kingdom (as

defined in MiFID II) or

b.
communicate (including the distribution of this prospectus supplement) or approve an invitation or inducement to
participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or

inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that is likely to be received by a retail client in the
EEA or in the United Kingdom (in each case within the meaning of MiFID II).
In selling or offering the Notes or making or approving communications relating to the Notes you may not rely on the limited
exemptions set out in the PI Instrument; and

3.
you will at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA or
the United Kingdom) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests

therein), including (without limitation) MiFID II and any other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to
determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) by
investors in any relevant jurisdiction.
You further acknowledge that (i) the identified target market for the Notes (for the purposes of the product governance obligations in
MiFID II) is eligible counterparties and professional clients; and (ii) no key information document (KID) under PRIIPs has been prepared
and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom
may be unlawful under PRIIPs.
PRI I Ps Re gula t ion / Prohibit ion of sa le s t o EEA a nd U K re t a il inve st ors 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") or in the United Kingdom (the "U K "). 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 Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "M iFI D I I "); or (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "I nsura nc e Dist ribut ion Dire c t ive "), where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No

for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and
(ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "dist ribut or ") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment
in respect of the Notes; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase,
any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from us and/or the underwriters the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and
undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

SU M M ARY
The following summary describes the Notes in general terms only. You should read the summary together with the more
detailed information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
We expect to issue the Notes under a capital securities indenture (which we refer to as the "Capital Securities Indenture")
comprising a base capital securities indenture (which we refer to as the "Base Capital Securities Indenture") entered into on
November 6, 2014 among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (which we refer to as the "Trustee") and Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas (which we refer to as "DBTCA"), as initial paying agent, calculation agent, transfer agent and registrar (the
"Calculation Agent"), and a second supplement to the Base Capital Securities Indenture adding certain provisions thereto and
modifying certain provisions thereof (which we refer to as the "Second Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture") entered into on
July 25, 2019, among us, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA, a fourth supplement to the Base Capital
Securities Indenture modifying certain provisions thereof (which we refer to as the "Fourth Supplemental Capital Securities
Indenture"), expected to be entered into on or about , 2020, among us, the Trustee, acting through its London Branch, and
DBTCA, and a fifth supplement to the Base Capital Securities Indenture relating to the Notes (which we refer to as the "Fifth
Supplemental Capital Securities Indenture") expected to be entered into on or about , 2020, among us, the Trustee,
acting through its London Branch, and DBTCA. The Notes will constitute a separate series of capital securities under the Capital
Securities Indenture. We have filed the Base Capital Securities Indenture on November 6, 2014 as an exhibit to a post-effective
amendment to our prior registration statement on Form F-3, File No. 333-184193, we have filed the Second Supplemental Capital
Securities Indenture with the SEC on July 25, 2019 as an exhibit to a Report on Form 6-K, we have filed the form of the Fourth

Indenture and those terms made part of the Capital Securities Indenture by reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as

for the avoidance of doubt, the Spread represents the initial credit spread to such
Treasury Yield, and does not represent any step-up in the interest rate of the
Notes. We describe the Reset Rate in "Description of the Notes--Interest

The terms of the Notes provide that the rate of interest on the Notes will reset on

each Reset Date, which we describe in "Description of the Notes--Interest

A holder of a Note at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding an Interest Payment Date will be entitled to receive interest payable on
such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. When we refer to
"Busine ss Da y", we mean a day on which (i) the Trans-European Automatic
Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) is open for
business and (ii) commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments
and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and
foreign currency deposits) in New York City.

St a t us; Ra nk ing
The Notes will constitute our unsecured and subordinated obligations, ranking pari
passu among themselves and, subject to applicable law from time to time, pari
passu with all of our other equally subordinated obligations (as specified below). If
Resolution Measures (as defined below) are imposed on us, or in the event of our
dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or composition, or if other proceedings are
opened for the avoidance of our insolvency or against us, the obligations under the
Notes will be fully subordinated to all of our obligations which do not also qualify as
Additional Tier 1 capital or as Common Equity Tier 1 capital within the meaning of
the CRR; in any such event, no amounts shall be payable in respect of the Notes
until all senior ranking obligations in accordance with this provision have been
satisfied in full. Obligations which rank senior to the obligations under the Notes
include (i) all claims of our unsubordinated creditors (as defined below), (ii) the
claims specified in Section 39(1) nos. 1 to 5 of the German Insolvency Code
(Insolvenzordnung) (or any successor provision thereof), (iii) our contractually
subordinated obligations within the meaning of Section 39(2) of the German
Insolvency Code (or any

PS-8
Table of Contents
successor provision thereof) which do not qualify, from time to time, as own funds
(within the meaning of the CRR), and (iv) the claims under our Tier 2 instruments

(within the meaning of the CRR). Subject to the foregoing, we may satisfy our
obligations under the Notes also from our other distributable assets (freies
Vermögen).

When we refer to the "CRR ", we mean Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the
European Parliament and the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements
for credit institutions and investment firms (including any provisions of regulatory

law supplementing this Regulation); to the extent that any provisions of the CRR
are amended or replaced, the term CRR as used in the Capital Securities
Indenture and the terms of the Notes also refers to such amended provisions or
successor provisions.

When we refer to "unsubordina t e d c re dit ors ", we mean the holders of any
indebtedness or other payment obligation of ours that is not expressed to be
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159508/000119312520036971/d842516d424b2.htm[2/14/2020 10:45:37 AM]

subordinated by means of contractual agreement or as a matter of law (including
claims against us under our unsubordinated non-preferred debt instruments within

the meaning of Section 46f(6) sentence 1 of the German Banking Act
(Kreditwesengesetz) (including our obligations under any such debt instruments
that we issued before July 21, 2018 and that are subject to Section 46f(9) sentence
2 of the German Banking Act) or any successor provision thereof).

Our payment obligations under the Notes will rank pari passu with the claims
against us under our other instruments qualifying as Additional Tier 1 capital within
the meaning of the CRR and the subordinated guarantees listed in the section
"Description of the Notes" of this prospectus supplement for as long as such
instruments continue to qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital. Upon the

implementation into German law (as required by December 28, 2020) of Article
48(7) of the BRRD (as defined below), claims against us under certain of our
currently outstanding capital instruments, if and when they cease to qualify as
Additional Tier 1 capital, are expected to rank senior to, and no longer pari passu
with, claims against us under the Notes.

When we refer to the "BRRD", we mean Directive 2014/59/EU of the European
Parliament and of the Council of May 15, 2014 establishing a framework for the
recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (including any

provisions of regulatory law supplementing this Directive); to the extent that any
provisions of the BRRD are amended or replaced, the term BRRD as used in the
Capital Securities Indenture and the terms of the Notes also refers to such
amended provisions or successor provisions.

subject to a Resolution Measure, and when we refer to a "bridge ba nk ," we
mean a newly chartered German bank that would receive some or all of our equity
securities, assets, liabilities and material contracts, including those attributable to

our branches and subsidiaries, in a resolution proceeding. Resolution Measures
include, among others, the measures generally referred to within the meaning of
the "write-down and conversion power" under the European directive of May 15,
