Investing in the notes involves a number of risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS­5 of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and page 20 of the accompanying prospectus and "Selected Risk
Considerations" beginning on page PS­6 of this pricing supplement.
By acquiring the notes, you will be bound by and will be deemed irrevocably to consent to the imposition of

shares or other instruments of ownership. In a German insolvency proceeding or in the event of the
imposition of Resolution Measures with respect to the Issuer, certain specifically defined senior unsecured
debt instruments, including the notes, would rank junior to, without constituting subordinated debt, all
other outstanding unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, including some of the other senior
debt securities issued by the Issuer, and would be satisfied only if all such other senior unsecured
unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer have been paid in full. If any Resolution Measure becomes
applicable to us, you may lose some or all of your investment in the notes. Please see "Resolution
Measures and Deemed Agreement" on page PS­3 of this pricing supplement for more information.

RESOLUTION MEASURES AND DEEMED AGREEMENT
On May 15, 2014, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted a directive
establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (Directive
2014/59/EU, as amended the "Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive" or the "BRRD"), which was
implemented into German law by the German Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz,
or, as amended, the "Resolution Act"), which became effective on January 1, 2015. The BRRD and the Resolution
Act provided national resolution authorities with a set of resolution powers to intervene in the event that a bank is
failing or likely to fail and certain other conditions are met. From January 1, 2016, the power to initiate resolution
measures applicable to significant banking groups (such as Deutsche Bank Group) in the European Banking Union
was transferred to the European Single Resolution Board which, based on the European Union regulation
establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment
firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund (Regulation (EU) No
806/2014, as amended, the "SRM Regulation"), works in close cooperation with the European Central Bank, the
European Commission and the national resolution authorities. Pursuant to the SRM Regulation, the Resolution Act
and other applicable rules and regulations, the notes may be subject to any Resolution Measure by the competent
resolution authority if we become, or are deemed by the competent supervisory authority to have become, "non-
viable" (as defined under the then-applicable law) and are unable to continue our regulated banking activities
without a Resolution Measure becoming applicable to us.
By acquiring the notes, you will be bound by and will be deemed irrevocably to consent to the provisions set
forth in the accompanying prospectus, which we have summarized below. Under the relevant resolution laws and
regulations as applicable to us from time to time, the notes may be subject to the powers exercised by the
competent resolution authority to: (i) write down, including to zero, any payment on the notes; (ii) convert the notes
into ordinary shares of (a) the Issuer, (b) any group entity or (c) any bridge bank or other instruments of ownership
of such entities qualifying as common equity tier 1 capital (and the issue to or conferral on the holders (including the
beneficial owners) of such ordinary shares or instruments); and/or (iii) apply any other resolution measure including,
but not limited to, any transfer of the notes to another entity, the amendment, modification or variation of the terms
and conditions of the notes or the cancellation of the notes. The write-down and conversion powers are commonly
referred to as the "bail-in tool" and the bail-in tool and each of the other resolution measures are hereinafter referred
to as a "Resolution Measure." A "group entity" refers to an entity that is included in the corporate group subject to
a Resolution Measure. A "bridge bank" refers to 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.
Furthermore, by acquiring the notes, you:

are deemed irrevocably to have agreed, and you will agree: (i) to be bound by, to acknowledge and to
accept any Resolution Measure and any amendment, modification or variation of the terms and
conditions of the notes to give effect to any Resolution Measure; (ii) that you will have no claim or other
right against us arising out of any Resolution Measure; and (iii) that the imposition of any Resolution
Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under the notes, under the Amended and
Restated Eligible Liabilities Senior Indenture dated August 3, 2021 among us, The Bank of New York
Mellon, as trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent, authenticating agent,
issuing agent and registrar, as may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"),
or for the purposes of, but only to the fullest extent permitted by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "Trust Indenture Act");

waive, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims
against the trustee and the paying agent, the issuing agent and the registrar (each, an "indenture
agent") for, agree not to initiate a suit against the trustee or the indenture agents in respect of, and
agree that the trustee and the indenture agents will not be liable for, any action that the trustee or any of
the indenture agents takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a
Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the notes; and
PS­3



will be deemed to have: (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed
without any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with
respect to the notes; (ii) authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or
other intermediary through which you hold such notes to take any and all necessary action, if required,
to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to the notes as it may be imposed,
without any further action or direction on your part or on the part of the trustee or the indenture agents;
and (iii) acknowledged and accepted that the Resolution Measure provisions described herein and in the
"Resolution Measures" section of the accompanying prospectus are exhaustive on the matters
described herein and therein to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements or understandings
between you and the Issuer relating to the terms and conditions of the notes.
This is only a summary, for more information please see the accompanying prospectus dated August 3, 2021,
including the risk factors beginning on page 20 of such prospectus.

PS­5


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 prospectus.

THE VALUE OF THE NOTES MAY DECLINE DUE TO SUCH FACTORS AS A RISE IN INFLATION
AND/OR INTEREST RATES OVER THE TERM OF THE NOTES -- The value of the notes may decline
over time due to such factors as inflation and/or rising interest rates. In addition, if the market interest
rates rise during the term of the notes, the Interest Rate on the notes during the Fixed Rate Period may
in the future be lower than the interest rates for similar debt securities then prevailing in the market. If
this occurs, you will not be able to require the Issuer to redeem the notes and will, therefore, bear the
risk of holding the notes and of earning a lower return than you could earn on other investments until the
Maturity Date.

THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG -- The notes are unsecured
and unsubordinated senior non-preferred obligations of 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 and the
repayment of principal at maturity depend on the ability of Deutsche Bank AG to satisfy its obligations as
they become 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 Deutsche Bank AG's credit risk will likely have an
adverse effect on the value of the notes. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of
Deutsche Bank AG will affect the value of the notes. Any future downgrade could materially affect
Deutsche Bank AG's funding costs and cause the trading price of the notes to decline significantly.
Additionally, under many derivative contracts to which Deutsche Bank AG is a party, a downgrade could
require it to post additional collateral, lead to terminations of contracts with accompanying payment
obligations or give counterparties additional remedies. In the event Deutsche Bank AG were to default
on its payment obligations or become subject to a Resolution Measure, you might not receive interest
and principal payments owed to you under the terms of the notes and you could lose your entire
investment.

THE NOTES 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 -- Pursuant to the SRM Regulation, the Resolution Act and other applicable rules
and regulations described above under "Resolution Measures and Deemed Agreement," the notes are
subject to the powers exercised by the competent resolution authority to impose Resolution Measures
on us, which may include: (i) writing down, including to zero, any claim for payment on the notes; (ii)
converting the notes into ordinary shares of (x) the Issuer, (y) any group entity or (z) any bridge bank or
other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as common equity tier 1 capital (and the issue
to or conferral on the holders (including the beneficial owners) of such ordinary shares or instruments);
or (iii) applying any other resolution measure including, but not limited to, transferring the notes to
another entity, amending, modifying or varying the terms and conditions of the notes or cancelling the
notes. The competent resolution authority may apply Resolution Measures individually or in any
combination. Imposition of a Resolution Measure would likely occur if the competent supervisory
authority determines that we are failing or likely to fail and that certain other conditions are met (as set
forth under the applicable law). The BRRD, the Resolution Act and, as applicable, the SRM Regulation
are intended to eliminate the need for public support of troubled banks, and you should be aware that
public support, if any, would only potentially be used by the competent supervisory authority as a last
resort after having assessed and exploited, to the maximum extent practicable, the resolution tools,
including the bail-in tool.
By acquiring the notes, you would have no claim or other right against us arising out of any Resolution
Measure and we would have no obligation to make payments under the notes following the imposition of
such Resolution Measure. In particular, the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a
default or an
PS­6


event of default under the notes, under the Indenture or for the purposes of, but only to the fullest extent
permitted by, the Trust Indenture Act. Furthermore, it will be difficult to predict when, if at all, a
Resolution Measure might become applicable to us in our individual case. Accordingly, secondary
market trading in the notes may not follow the trading behavior associated with similar types of
securities issued by other financial institutions which may be or have been subject to a Resolution
Measure.
In addition, by your acquisition of the notes, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the trustee and the indenture agents for,
agree not to initiate a suit against the trustee or the indenture agents in respect of, and agree that the
trustee and the indenture agents will not be liable for, any action that the trustee or the indenture agents
take, or abstain from taking, in either case in accordance with the imposition of a Resolution Measure by
the competent resolution authority with respect to the notes. Accordingly, you may have limited or
circumscribed rights to challenge any decision of the competent resolution authority to impose
any Resolution Measure.

IN A GERMAN INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR IN THE EVENT OF THE IMPOSITION OF
RESOLUTION MEASURES WITH RESPECT TO US, CERTAIN SPECIFICALLY DEFINED SENIOR
UNSECURED DEBT INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES, WILL RANK JUNIOR TO ALL OF
OUR OTHER OUTSTANDING SENIOR UNSECURED UNSUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS, AND
WILL BE SATISFIED ONLY IF ALL OF OUR OTHER SENIOR UNSECURED UNSUBORDINATED
OBLIGATIONS HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL. SUCH RANKING MIGHT RESULT IN HIGHER LOSSES
BEING ALLOCATED TO THE NOTES THAN TO OUR OTHER OUTSTANDING UNSECURED
UNSUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS --German law provides that, in a German insolvency proceeding
of the Issuer, certain specifically defined senior unsecured debt instruments would rank junior to, without
constituting subordinated debt, all other outstanding unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer
and be satisfied only if all such other senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer have been paid in full.
This prioritization would also be given effect if Resolution Measures are imposed on the Issuer, so that
obligations under debt instruments that rank junior in insolvency as described above would be written
down or converted into common equity tier 1 instruments before any other senior unsecured obligations
of the Issuer are written down or converted. A large portion of our liabilities consist of senior unsecured
obligations that either fall outside the statutory definition of debt instruments that rank junior to other
senior unsecured obligations according to German law or are expressly exempted from such definition.
Among those unsecured unsubordinated obligations that do not constitute as such debt instruments are
instruments with an initial maturity of less than one year as well as senior unsecured instruments of
indebtedness whose terms provide that (i) the repayment or the amount of the repayment depends on
the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event which is uncertain at the point in time when the senior
unsecured debt instruments are issued or is settled in a way other than by monetary payment or (ii) the
payment of interest or the amount of the interest payments depends on the occurrence or non-
occurrence of an event which is uncertain at the point in time when the senior unsecured debt
instruments are issued unless the payment of interest or the amount of the interest payments solely
depends on a customary fixed or floating reference interest rate and is settled by monetary payment. In
a German insolvency proceeding or in the event of the imposition of Resolution Measures with respect
to us, the competent regulatory authority or court would determine which of our senior debt securities
issued under the prospectus have the terms described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, referred to herein as
the "structured" debt securities, and which do not, referred to herein as the "non-structured" debt
securities. We expect the notes offered herein to be classified as "non-structured" debt securities, but
the competent regulatory authority or court may classify the notes differently.
Section 46f(5) to (9) of the German Banking Act allows us to issue different categories of senior debt
securities. In accordance with such rules, we may issue senior debt securities that are "structured" and
that constitute "senior preferred" debt securities. In addition, we are able to issue "non-structured" senior
debt securities as "senior preferred" debt securities, ranking pari passu with our "structured" senior debt
securities. Such "senior preferred" debt securities, whether "structured" or "non-structured", will rank pari
passu with,
PS­7


among other obligations, instruments of indebtedness with an initial term of less than one year,
derivatives and, generally, corporate deposits (unless they rank even more senior). Finally, subject to
Section 46f(6) of the German Banking Act, we may issue "non-structured" debt securities as senior
"non-preferred" debt instruments (Schuldtitel) ranking junior to, among other instruments, "senior
preferred" debt securities, if they contain an express reference to their lower ranking. We have elected
to do so with respect to our eligible labilities senior notes (including the notes offered herein).
Accordingly, our senior non-preferred debt instruments within the meaning of Section 46f(6) Sentence 1
of the German Banking Act (including the notes offered herein) rank junior to our other unsubordinated
liabilities (including, but not limited to, senior preferred debt securities, whether "structured" or "non-
structured", deposits, derivatives and instruments of indebtedness with an initial term of less than one
year), but in priority to our contractually or statutorily subordinated liabilities, such as those qualifying as
additional tier 1 or tier 2 instruments within the meaning of the CRR, and would be satisfied only if all our
other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations have been paid in full.
Consequently, if insolvency proceedings are opened against us or if Resolution Measures are imposed
on us, higher losses could be allocated to our eligible liabilities senior notes (including the notes offered
herein) than to our other outstanding unsecured unsubordinated obligations. You may lose some or all
of your investment in the notes offered herein if insolvency proceedings are opened against us
or a Resolution Measure becomes applicable to us.

THE NOTES HAVE REINVESTMENT RISK -- As described under "Key Terms--Early Redemption," we
retain the option to redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, on the Reset Date, by giving not less than
5 Business Days' prior notice. It is more likely that we will redeem the notes prior to the Maturity Date to
the extent that the interest payable on the notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on
other instruments of ours of a comparable maturity, of comparable terms and of a comparable credit
rating trading in the market. If the notes are redeemed on the Reset Date, you may have to reinvest the
proceeds in a lower interest rate environment.

SOFR HAS A LIMITED HISTORY, AND ITS HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF
FUTURE PERFORMANCE -- The New York Federal Reserve began to publish SOFR in April 2018.
Although the New York Federal Reserve has also begun publishing historical indicative SOFR going
back to 2014, such historical indicative data inherently involves assumptions, estimates and
approximations. Therefore, SOFR has limited performance history and no actual investment based on
the performance of SOFR was possible before April 2018. The level of SOFR over the term of the notes
may bear little or no relation to the historical level of SOFR. The future performance of SOFR is
impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR or the notes may be inferred from
any of the hypothetical or actual historical performance data. Hypothetical or actual historical
performance data are not indicative of the future performance of SOFR or the notes. Changes in the
levels of SOFR will affect Compounded SOFR and, therefore, the return on the notes and the trading
price of such notes, but it is impossible to predict whether such levels will rise or fall. There can be no
assurance that SOFR or Compounded SOFR will be positive.

ANY FAILURE OF SOFR TO GAIN MARKET ACCEPTANCE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
NOTES -- SOFR may fail to gain market acceptance. SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S.
dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR in part because it is
considered a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury
repurchase agreement (repo) market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S.
Treasury securities, it does not measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to
correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants
would not consider SOFR a suitable substitute or successor for all of the purposes for which LIBOR
historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a
PS­8


representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market
acceptance of SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely affect the return
on the notes and the price at which you can sell such notes.

THE COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF SOFR ARE NOT THE SAME AS THOSE OF
LIBOR AND NEITHER SOFR NOR COMPOUNDED SOFR IS EXPECTED TO BE A COMPARABLE
SUBSTITUTE FOR LIBOR -- In June 2017, the New York Federal Reserve's Alternative Reference
Rates Committee (the "ARRC") announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR.
However, the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR. SOFR is a
broad Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions. This means
that SOFR is fundamentally different from LIBOR for two key reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate,
while LIBOR is an unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is an overnight rate, while LIBOR represents
interbank funding over different maturities. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR will
perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without limitation, as a result of
changes in interest and yield rates in the market, market volatility or global or regional economic,
financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. For example, since publication of SOFR began in
April 2018, daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in
comparable benchmark or other market rates. For additional information regarding SOFR, see
"Description of the Notes--Interest Rates--Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)" in the
accompanying prospectus supplement.

SOFR MAY BE MODIFIED OR DISCONTINUED, AND THE NOTES MAY BEAR INTEREST DURING
THE FLOATING RATE PERIOD BY REFERENCE TO A RATE OTHER THAN COMPOUNDED SOFR,
WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES -- The New York Federal
Reserve (or a successor), as administrator of SOFR, may make methodological or other changes that
could change the value of SOFR, including changes related to the method by which SOFR is calculated,
eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SOFR, or timing related to the
publication of SOFR. In addition, the administrator may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or
dissemination of SOFR (in which case a fallback method of determining the interest rate on the notes
during the Floating Rate Period as further described under "Description of the Notes--Interest Rates--
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)" in the accompanying prospectus supplement will apply).
The administrator has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating, adjusting, converting,
revising or discontinuing SOFR.
If we or our designee determine that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred in respect of SOFR, then the interest rate on the notes during the
Floating Rate Period will no longer be determined by reference to SOFR, but instead will be determined
by reference to a different rate, which will be a different benchmark than SOFR, plus a spread
adjustment, which we refer to as a "Benchmark Replacement," as further described under "Description
of the Notes--Interest Rates--Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement.
If a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment cannot be determined,
then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply.
These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected, recommended or formulated by (i) the
Relevant Governmental Body (such as the ARRC), (ii) ISDA or (iii) in certain circumstances, us or our
designee. In addition, the terms of the notes expressly authorize us or our designee to make Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to, among other things, changes to the definitions of
"Interest Period" and "Observation Period," timing and frequency of determining rates and making
payments of interest and other administrative matters. The determination of a Benchmark Replacement,
the calculation of the interest rate on the notes during the Floating Rate Period by reference to a
Benchmark Replacement (including the application of a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), any
implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and any other determinations,
decisions or elections that may be made under the terms of the notes
