You should rely on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any other person to provide you with different
information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on
it. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus, as well as information
incorporated by reference, is accurate as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus only. Our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
Deutsche Telekom with its registered office in Bonn and Finance with its registered office in
Amsterdam are solely responsible for the information given in this Prospectus, provided that Finance is not
responsible for the description of Deutsche Telekom. Each of Deutsche Telekom and Finance 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.

RISK FACTORS
The discussion below is a disclosure of risk factors that are material to Deutsche Telekom and
Finance and that may affect Finance's ability to fulfill its obligations under the Notes or Deutsche Telekom's
obligation under the guarantee. When we refer to ourselves, we are referring to both Deutsche Telekom and
Finance. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following information in conjunction with the other
information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Relating to Deutsche Telekom
The risk related to Deutsche Telekom's ability to fulfill its obligations as Issuer of debt securities is
described by reference to the ratings assigned to Deutsche Telekom. Deutsche Telekom is rated by Fitch1 (as
defined herein), Moody's2 (as defined herein) and S&P3 (as defined herein).
As of the publication date of the Prospectus, the ratings assigned to Deutsche Telekom by the Rating
Agencies were as follows:

by Fitch:
long-term rating:
BBB+
short-term rating:
F2
by Moody's:
long-term rating:
Baa1

short-term rating:
A-2

Deutsche Telekom's financial condition, results of operations, the trading prices of its securities or other
financial data could be adversely affected by any of the following risks:
An economic downturn, a substantial slowdown in economic growth or deterioration in consumer
spending could adversely affect Deutsche Telekom's customers' purchases of products and services in
each of the operating segments, which could have a negative impact on the operating results and
financial condition of Deutsche Telekom.
Because Deutsche Telekom operates in heavily regulated business environments, decisions that
regulatory authorities impose on Deutsche Telekom restrict flexibility in managing its business and may
force it to offer services to competitors, or reduce the prices it charges for products and services, either of
which could have a material negative impact on Deutsche Telekom's revenues, profits and market shares.

Deutsche Telekom faces intense competition in all areas of its business, which could lead to reduced
prices for its products and services and a decrease in market share in certain service areas, thereby
adversely affecting Deutsche Telekom's revenues and net profit.
Deutsche Telekom may realise neither the expected level of demand for its products and services, nor the
expected level or timing of revenues generated by those products and services, as a result of lack of
market acceptance, technological change or delays from suppliers, which could adversely affect Deutsche
Telekom's cash flows.
Some of Deutsche Telekom's investments (such as in new spectrum licenses) to develop future products
and services may involve substantial cash outlays with no certainty of market acceptance or regulatory
non-interference with license requirements.
Failure to achieve the planned reduction and restructuring of personnel or the human resources-related
cost-savings goals could negatively affect the reputation and achievement of Deutsche Telekom's
financial objectives and profitability.
As a result of dispositions of certain non-core businesses in Germany, there is an increased risk of return
of civil servants transferred out of Deutsche Telekom Group, which could have a negative impact on the
staff and cost reduction objectives.
Alleged health risks of wireless communications devices have led to litigation affecting markets with
Deutsche Telekom's mobile telecommunications operations subsidiaries, and could lead to decreased
wireless communications usage or increased difficulty in obtaining sites for base stations and, as a result,
adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of Deutsche Telekom's wireless services
business.
Deutsche Telekom regularly engages in large-scale programs to reshape the information technology (IT)
and network infrastructure to adapt to changing customer needs and organisational and accounting
requirements. The implementation of any of these programs may require substantial investments and a
failure to effectively plan and monitor them could lead to misallocations of resources and impaired
processes with negative consequences for Deutsche Telekom's operations.
System failures due to natural or man-made disruptions and loss of data could result in reduced user
traffic and reduced revenues and could harm Deutsche Telekom's reputation and results.
Shortcomings in Deutsche Telekom's supply and procurement process could negatively affect its product
portfolio, revenues and profits.
Deutsche Telekom is continuously involved in disputes and litigation with regulators, competition
authorities, competitors and other parties. The ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings is generally
uncertain. When finally concluded, they may have a material adverse effect on Deutsche Telekom's
results of operations and financial condition.
Deutsche Telekom faces allegations of data misuse and flaws in its security systems. Despite diverse
measures taken to protect customer data, damage to Deutsche Telekom's reputation remains a significant
risk, which may also affect its business.
Exchange-rate, interest-rate and rating risks have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on
Deutsche Telekom's revenue and cost development.
Deutsche Telekom aims to solely place the financial investments at financial institutions that have high
credit ratings. As a result of international M&A transactions, the investment portfolio of newly acquired
entities may not always meet this requirement. In individual cases, Deutsche Telekom thus may face a
risk of unplanned write offs.
Potential breaches of compliance requirements or the identification of material weaknesses in Deutsche
Telekom's internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on Deutsche Telekom's
corporate reputation, financial condition and the trading price of its securities.
We can offer no assurance that the sale of T-Mobile USA Inc. will close, and the failure of the transaction
to close may have adverse effects on the market for and ratings of the Notes, as well as our business
operations.
The portion of the T-Mobile USA sales price consisting of AT&T common stock is subject to downward
adjustment.
The consummation of our planned sale of T-Mobile USA to AT&T will substantially reduce the size and
diversity of our global mobile telecommunications business, which may have adverse effects on us.
Risk Factors regarding Deutsche Telekom International Finance B.V.
Payment of principal of and interest on notes issued by Finance are guaranteed by Deutsche Telekom
AG. Therefore the risks in respect of Finance substantially correspond with the ones of Deutsche Telekom.

Risk Factors
Notes may not be a suitable investment

A potential investor should not invest in Notes which are complex financial Notes unless the investor
has the expertise (either alone or with a financial advisor) to evaluate how the Notes will perform under
changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment will have on
the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Currency risk / Dual currency notes
A holder of a Note denominated in a foreign currency and a holder of Dual Currency Notes is exposed
to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates which may affect the yield of such Notes.
Liquidity risk
There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market for the Notes will develop or, if it does
develop, that it will continue. In an illiquid market, an investor might not be able to sell his Notes at any time at
fair market prices.
Risk of early redemption
If the Issuer has the right to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, a holder of such Notes is exposed to
the risk that due to early redemption his investment will have a lower than expected yield. Also, the holder
may only be able to reinvest on less favourable conditions as compared to the original investment.
Risk of potential conflicts of interest

In case of Notes linked to an underlying, the Issuer, each Dealer or any of their respective affiliates
may from time to time engage in transactions relating to such underlying which could create conflicts of
interest and may have a negative impact on the underlying value.

using the adjusted treasury yield.

The Issuer will give notice to DTC of any redemption we propose to make at least 30 days, but not

jurisdiction requires a withholding of this type, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
will, subject to some exceptions (as more fully described below under "Description of the Notes

6

and Guarantees Additional Amounts"), pay additional amounts in respect of those payments of
principal and interest so that the amount you receive after such taxes and governmental charges
will equal the amount that you would have received if no such taxes and governmental charges
had been applicable.

relation to the Notes, subject to certain exceptions the Issuer (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) may
redeem the Notes at any time at its option, as a whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days' prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest (and all Additional Amounts, if any) to
(but excluding) the redemption date.

You have no right to require us to call the Notes. We discuss our ability to redeem the Notes in
greater detail in the accompanying prospectus under "GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE
NOTES AND GUARANTEES WE MAY OFFER -- Special Situations -- Optional Tax
Redemption".

Adjusted treasury The adjusted treasury yield, with respect to any redemption date, is the rate per annum equal to
