IMPORTANT
Deutsche Bank AG, [Frankfurt am Main] [London] accepts responsibility for the
information contained in this document. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the
Issuer (who has taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case) the
information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and does not
omit anything likely to affect the import of such information.
No dealer, salesman or other person is authorised to give any information or to make
any representation other than those contained in this document in connection with the
offering or sale of the Securities and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer or any
Agent. None of this document and any further information supplied in connection with
the Securities is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and
should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer that any recipient of this
document or any further information supplied in connection with the Securities should
purchase any of the Securities. Each investor contemplating purchasing Securities
should make its own independent investigation of the risks involved in an investment
in the Securities. Neither this document nor any other information supplied in
connection with the Securities constitutes an offer by or on behalf of the Issuer or any
other person to subscribe for or purchase any Securities, i.e. no subscription
agreement or purchase agreement may be effectively concluded in connection with
Securities by way of unilateral statement by or on behalf of the subscribing or
purchasing party.
The distribution of this document and the offering of the Securities in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. The Issuer does not represent that this
document may be lawfully distributed, or that the Securities may be lawfully offered, in
compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any jurisdiction,
or pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assumes any responsibility for
facilitating any distribution or offering. Accordingly, the Securities may not be offered
or sold, directly or indirectly, and none of this document, any advertisement relating to
the Securities and any other offering material may be distributed or published in any
jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with any
applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this document
comes must inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. Please refer
to General Selling and Transfer Restrictions contained in the section entitled General
Conditions contained in this document, and the additional information contained in the
section "Country Specific Information" attached hereto.
This document contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and
expectations. Any statement in this document that states our intentions, beliefs,
expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-
looking statement. These statements are based on plans, estimates, and projections
as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking
statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no
obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of
important factors could therefore cause actual results of the Issuer or of the Securities
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
