UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE

The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MIFIR 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, sel ing or
recommending the Notes (a "Distributor") should take into consideration the target market
assessment; however, a Distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product

its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS

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

(or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4 (1) of the MiFID II Directive; or (i ) a
customer within the meaning of Directive EU 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4 (1) of the MiFID II Directive; or (i i) not a qualified
investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required
by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU 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 EU PRIIPs Regulation.

client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK law by
virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (i ) a customer within the meaning of
the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") and any rules or regulations
made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as
a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms
part of UK law by virtue of the EUWA; or (i i) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key
information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK law by virtue
of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or sel ing the Notes or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs
Regulation.

Rate Notes are calculated by reference to (i) EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) which is
provided by the European Money Markets Institute (the "EMMI") or (ii) the CMS (Constant Maturity

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. Forward-looking statements are based on
analyses or forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable or foreseeable.
These forward-looking statements may be 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 DZ BANK'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 Issuer makes to the best of its present knowledge. These forward-looking statements are subject
to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results, including DZ BANK'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. DZ
BANK'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" and
"DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main". These sections include
more detailed descriptions of factors that might have an impact on DZ BANK'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 Issuer 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.

Managing Directors of DZ BANK on 10 April 2012.

The 2022 update of the Programme and the issuance of the types of preferred senior Notes, preferred
senior Notes (pursuant to the criteria of eligible liabilities instruments), non-preferred senior Notes and
subordinated Notes thereunder have been authorised by the responsible Members of the Board of
Managing Directors of DZ BANK on 9 March 2022. Each Tranche of Notes under the Programme wil
be issued pursuant to internal rules of DZ BANK.

Programme Limit

Under this Programme, Notes may be issued and outstanding in an unlimited aggregate principal
amount.

Dealers

Under this Programme the Issuer may from time to time issue Notes to one or more of the following
Dealers: DZ BANK AG Deutsche Zentral-Genossenschaftsbank, Frankfurt am Main, DZ PRIVATBANK
S.A. and any additional Dealer appointed under this Programme from time to time by the Issuer, which
appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis.

Tranches/Series

Notes will be issued in Tranches, each Tranche consisting of Notes which are identical in al respects.
One or more Tranches, which are expressed to be consolidated and forming a single series and
identical in al respects, but may have different issue dates, issue prices and/or dates for first interest
payments, may form a series (the "Series") of Notes. Further Notes may be issued as part of an
existing Series. The specific terms of each Tranche will be set forth in the Final Terms.

Transferability of the Notes

The Notes issued under this Programme are freely transferable without any limitation.

Offer of the Notes
The Notes may be offered to qualified and non-qualified investors, unless the applicable Final Terms
include a legend entitled "PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS" and/or
"PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS".

Currency

Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions and requirements of relevant central banks,
the Issuer may issue Notes in euro or any other currency as agreed by the Issuer and the relevant
Dealer(s).

Issue Price

Notes may be issued at an issue price which is at par or at a discount to, or premium over, par as

be calculated by the use of the ICMA (International Capital Market Association) method which
determines the effective interest rate of notes taking into account accrued interest on a daily basis.

to buy, sel or hold Notes issued under this Programme and may be subject to suspension, reduction
