1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME

1.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME
This chapter contains a general description of the Offering Programme and its essential
characteristics. In addition to general information on the Offering Programme, it provides
information on the Issuer, the products issued under the Programme and the distribution,
admission to trading and listing of the Securities.
1.1
Offering Programme
This Securities Note is one of several offering documents (including prospectuses) under
which the Issuer (as defined below) is permitted to offer structured securities ("Securities") as
part of the Programme for the issuance of certificates, warrants and notes (the "Offering
Programme" or the "Programme"). Securities may be publicly offered under this Securities
Note by way of:
-
New issuances (i.e. issue of new Securities) and
-
Further issuances (e.g. increasing the Issue Volume of already issued Securities).
At the same time, an application may be made with this Securities Note to admit the Securities
to trading on a regulated market or organised market or to include them for trading on a non-
regulated market.
The Programme and the issue of Securities thereunder have been duly authorised by the
competent representatives of Deutsche Bank. The Programme is considered to be in the
ordinary course of Deutsche Bank's business and therefore does not require authorisation by
board resolutions.
Deutsche Bank has obtained or wil obtain from time to time all necessary consents, approvals
and authorisations in connection with the issue and performance of its obligations under the
Securities.
1.2
Issuer
Securities under this Securities Note are issued by Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, acting
either through its head office in Frankfurt am Main or through any of its foreign branch offices
in London ("Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch"), Milan ("Deutsche Bank AG, Milan
Branch"), Portugal ("Deutsche Bank AG, Sucursal em Portugal"), Spain ("Deutsche Bank
AG, Sucursal en España") or Zurich ("Deutsche Bank AG, Zurich Branch") ("Issuer" or
"Deutsche Bank"). The issuance of Securities is carried out by the Issuer as part of its general
banking business (as set out in Article 2(1) of the Articles of Association of the Issuer). The
Registration Document contains more detailed information on the Issuer's organisation,
business activities, financial situation, earnings and prospects, management and ownership
structure. Investors can find more detailed information on the Issuer and Issuer-related risk
factors in the Registration Document.
1.3
Products to be issued under the Programme
Form of Securities
Depending on the law to which the Securities are subject in each case, they are either
represented by a Global Security or issued in dematerialised or uncertificated book-entry form.
In the case of a Global Security governed by German law, such Global Security wil be in
bearer form.
No definitive Securities wil be issued.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME
Status of the Securities
In case of Securities the ranking of which is specified in the Specific Terms of the Securities
as preferred, such Securities other than Securities that are secured by a segregated pool of
collateral assets constitute unsecured and unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer
ranking pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer, subject, however, to statutory priorities
conferred to certain unsecured and unsubordinated preferred liabilities in the event of
Resolution Measures imposed on the Issuer or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation,
Insolvency, composition or other proceedings for the avoidance of Insolvency of, or against,
the Issuer.
In accordance with § 46f(5) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz, "KWG"), the
obligations under such Securities rank in priority of those under debt instruments of the Issuer
within the meaning of Section 46f(6) sentence 1 KWG (also in conjunction with § 46f(9) KWG)
or any successor provision, including eligible liabilities within the meaning of Articles 72a and
72b(2) CRR.
In case of Securities the ranking of which is specified in the Specific Terms of the Securities
as non-preferred, such Securities constitute unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred
liabilities of the Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred liabilities of the Issuer. This is subject to
statutory priorities conferred to certain unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred liabilities
in the event of Resolution Measures imposed on the Issuer or in the event of the dissolution,
liquidation, Insolvency, composition or other proceedings for the avoidance of Insolvency of,
or against, the Issuer.
In accordance with § 46f(5) KWG, in the event of resolution measures being imposed on the
Issuer or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation, insolvency, composition or other
proceedings for the avoidance of insolvency of, or against the Issuer, the obligations under
such Securities shal rank behind the claims of unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer not
qualifying as obligations within the meaning of § 46f(6) sentence 1 KWG (also in conjunction
with § 46f(9) KWG) or any successor provision; this includes eligible liabilities within the
meaning of Article 72b(2) CRR where point (d) of such Article does not apply. In any such
event, no amounts shal be payable in respect of the Securities until the claims of such other
unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer have been satisfied in full.
Securities that are secured by a segregated pool of collateral assets constitute unsubordinated
preferred liabilities of the Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all
other unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer, subject, however, to statutory priorities
conferred to certain unsubordinated preferred liabilities in the event of resolution measures
imposed on the Issuer or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation, insolvency, composition or
other proceedings for the avoidance of insolvency of, or against, the Issuer.
Ranking of the Securities
The ranking of the Issuer's liabilities in insolvency or in the event of the imposition of Resolution
Measures, such as a bail-in, is determined by German law.
In case of Securities the ranking of which is specified in the Specific Terms of the Securities
as preferred, such Securities other than Securities that are secured by a segregated pool of
collateral assets are unsecured unsubordinated preferred liabilities that would rank higher than
the Issuer's regulatory capital, its subordinated liabilities and its unsecured unsubordinated
non-preferred liabilities. The liabilities under such Securities rank pari passu with other
unsecured unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer, including but not limited to
derivatives, structured products and deposits not subject to protection. The liabilities under
such Securities rank below liabilities protected in Insolvency or excluded from Resolution
Measures, such as certain protected deposits.
