$           Phoenix Autocallable Securities Linked to the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF due September 1*, 2016
 
General
 
The securities are linked to the performance of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (the “Underlying”) and may pay a Contingent Coupon on a semi-annual basis at a rate of 6.00% - 7.00% per annum (to be determined on the Trade Date). The Contingent Coupon will be payable on a Coupon Payment Date only if the Closing Price of the Underlying on the applicable semi-annual Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier. Otherwise, no coupon will be payable with respect to that Observation Date.
 
If the Closing Price of the Underlying on any Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, the securities will be automatically called, and you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date $1,000 per Face Amount of securities plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such date. The securities will cease to be outstanding following an Automatic Call and no Contingent Coupon will accrue or be payable following the Call Settlement Date. However, if the securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, you will lose 1.17647% of the Face Amount of securities for every 1.00% by which the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than 15.00%. Any payment on the securities, including the Contingent Coupon payments and payment upon an Automatic Call or at maturity, is subject to the credit of the Issuer.

Call Settlement Dates:
The third business day following the applicable Observation Date. For the final Observation Date, the Call Settlement Date will be the Maturity Date.
Payment at Maturity:
If the securities are not automatically called, the payment you will receive at maturity will depend on the performance of the Underlying on the Final Valuation Date:
 
·      If the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount not greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, you will be entitled to receive a cash payment per $1,000 Face Amount of securities on the Maturity Date equal to $1,000 plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such date.
 
·      If the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, you will lose 1.17647% of the Face Amount of securities for every 1.00% by which the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than 15.00%, and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment at maturity per $1,000 Face Amount of securities, calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Underlying Return + Buffer Amount) x Downside Participation Factor]
 
If the securities are not automatically called, and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, you will lose some or all of your initial investment.  Any payment at maturity is subject to the credit of the Issuer.

Issuer’s Estimated Value of the Securities
 
The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities is equal to the sum of our valuations of the following two components of the securities: (i) a bond and (ii) an embedded derivative(s). The value of the bond component of the securities is calculated based on the present value of the stream of cash payments associated with a conventional bond with a principal amount equal to the Face Amount of the securities, discounted at an internal funding rate, which is determined primarily based on our market-based yield curve, adjusted to account for our funding needs and objectives for the period matching the term of the securities. The internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional debt securities on equivalent terms. This difference in funding rate, as well as the agent’s commissions, if any, and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities, reduces the economic terms of the securities to you and is expected to adversely affect the price at which you may be able to sell the securities in any secondary market. The value of the embedded derivative(s) is calculated based on our internal pricing models using relevant parameter inputs such as expected interest and dividend rates and mid-market levels of price and volatility of the assets underlying the securities or any futures, options or swaps related to such underlying assets. Our internal pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.
 
The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this term sheet) is less than the Issue Price of the securities. The difference between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date is due to the inclusion in the Issue Price of the agent’s commissions, if any, and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our affiliates. Such hedging cost includes our or our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge.
 
The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date does not represent the price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market at any time. Assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, would generally be lower than both the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date. Our purchase price, if any, in secondary market transactions will be based on the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to (i) the then-prevailing internal funding rate (adjusted by a spread) or another appropriate measure of our cost of funds and (ii) our pricing models at that time, less a bid spread determined after taking into account the size of the repurchase, the nature of the assets underlying the securities and then-prevailing market conditions. The price we report to financial reporting services and to distributors of our securities for use on customer account statements would generally be determined on the same basis. However, during the period of approximately three months beginning from the Trade Date, we or our affiliates may, in our sole discretion, increase the purchase price determined as described above by an amount equal to the declining differential between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date, prorated over such period on a straight-line basis, for transactions that are individually and in the aggregate of the expected size for ordinary secondary market repurchases.

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity
 
The following hypothetical examples illustrate how the returns set forth in the tables above are calculated.
 
Example 1: The Closing Price of the Underlying is 110.00% of the Initial Price on the first Observation Date. Because the Closing Price on the first Observation Date is greater than the Initial Price, the securities are automatically called on the first Observation Date, and the investor will receive on the related Call Settlement Date a cash payment of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities (excluding any Contingent Coupon).
 
Because the Closing Price of the Underlying on the first Observation Date is greater than the Coupon Barrier (85.00% of the Initial Price), the investor will receive the Contingent Coupon on the first Coupon Payment Date. As a result, the investor will receive a total of $1,032.50 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities, resulting in a total return of 3.25% over the term of the securities.
 
Example 2: The Closing Prices of the Underlying are 95.00%, 80.00% and 105.00% of the Initial Price on the first, second and third Observation Dates. Because the Closing Price on the third Observation Date is greater than the Initial Price, the securities are automatically called on the third Observation Date, and the investor will receive on the related Call Settlement Date a cash payment of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities (excluding any Contingent Coupon).
 
Because the Closing Prices on the first and third Observation Dates are greater than the Coupon Barrier (85.00% of the Initial Price) and the Closing Price on the second Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, the investor will receive the Contingent Coupon on the first Coupon Payment Date and the Call Settlement Date, but not on the second Coupon Payment Date. As a result, the investor will receive a total of $1,065.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities, resulting in a total return of 6.50% over the term of the securities.
 
Example 3: The Closing Prices of the Underlying are 95.00%, 80.00%, 90.00% and 105.00% of the Initial Price on the first, second, third and final Observation Dates. Because the Closing Price on the final Observation Date is greater than the Initial Price, the securities are automatically called on the final Observation Date, and the investor will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities (excluding any Contingent Coupon).
 
Because the Closing Prices on the first, third and final Observation Dates are greater than the Coupon Barrier (85.00% of the Initial Price) and the Closing Price of the Underlying on the second Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, the investor will receive the Contingent Coupon on the first and third Coupon Payment Dates and the Maturity Date, but not on the second Coupon Payment Date. As a result, the investor will receive a total of $1,097.50 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities, resulting in a total return of 9.75% over the term of the securities.
 
Example 4: The Closing Prices of the Underlying are 80.00%, 75.00%, 90.00% and 95.00% of the Initial Price on the first, second, third and final Observation Dates. Because the Closing Price of the Underlying on the final Observation Date is less than the Initial Price, the securities are not automatically called on the final Observation Date. Because the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount not greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, the investor will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment of $1,000.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities (excluding any Contingent Coupon).
 
Because the Closing Prices of the Underlying on the third and fourth Observation Dates are greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier (85.00% of the Initial Price) and the Closing Prices of the Underlying on the first and second Observation Dates are less than the Coupon Barrier, the investor will receive the Contingent Coupon on the third Coupon Payment Date and the Maturity Date, but not on the first and second Coupon Payment Dates. As a result, the investor will receive a total of $1,065.00 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities, resulting in a total return of 6.50% over the term of the securities.
 
Example 5: The Closing Prices of the Underlying are 80.00%, 75.00%, 60.00%, and 40.00% of the Initial Price on the first, second, third and final Observation Dates. Because the Closing Price of the Underlying on the final Observation Date is less than the Initial Price, the securities are not automatically called on the final Observation Date. Because the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%, the investor will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment of $470.59 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities (excluding any Contingent Coupon), calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-60.00% + 15.00%) x 1.17647] = $470.59
 
Because the Closing Prices of the Underlying on all of the Observation Dates are less than the Coupon Barrier, the investor will not receive any Contingent Coupon over the entire term of the securities. As a result, the investor will receive only $470.59 per $1,000.00 Face Amount of securities, resulting in a loss of 52.94% on the securities.

Selected Purchase Considerations
 
 
·
THE SECURITIES MAY OFFER A HIGHER, THOUGH CONTINGENT, COUPON THAN THE YIELD ON DEBT SECURITIES OF COMPARABLE MATURITY ISSUED BY US OR AN ISSUER WITH A COMPARABLE CREDIT RATINGThe securities will pay Contingent Coupons that accrue at a rate of 6.00% - 7.00% per annum (to be determined on the Trade Date) only if the Closing Price of the Underlying is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier on the relevant Observation Date. This rate may be higher than the yield received on debt securities of comparable maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable credit rating, but is subject to the risk of the Underlying declining below the Coupon Barrier on an Observation Date and the resulting forfeiture of the Contingent Coupon for the entire period, as well as the risk of losing some or all of your initial investment if the securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount.
 
 
·
POTENTIAL EARLY EXIT AS A RESULT OF AUTOMATIC CALL FEATURE — While the original term of the securities is two years, the securities will be automatically called before maturity if the Closing Price is greater

than or equal to the Initial Price on any Observation Date, and you will be entitled to receive a cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 Face Amount of securities on the Call Settlement Date plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such date. No Contingent Coupon will accrue or be payable following the Call Settlement Date.
 
 
·
LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS If the securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount not greater than the Buffer Amount, you will receive $1,000 per Face Amount of securities at maturity plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such date. However, if the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount, you will lose an amount equal to 1.17647% of the Face Amount of your securities for every 1.00% by which the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount of 15.00%. For example, an Underlying Return of -30.00% will result in a 17.647% loss of your initial investment. In these circumstances, you could lose up to 100.00% of your investment. You will lose some or all of your investment if the securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount. Because the securities are our senior unsecured obligations, any Contingent Coupon payment or any payment upon an Automatic Call or at maturity is subject to the credit of the Issuer.
 
 
·
CONTINGENT COUPON PAYMENTS — Unless previously automatically called, Contingent Coupon payments, if any, will be made on the securities in arrears on the relevant Coupon Payment Dates, unless the Closing Price of the Underlying on the relevant Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier.

TAX CONSEQUENCES  Due to the lack of direct legal authority, there is substantial uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities.  In determining our responsibilities for information reporting and withholding, if any, we intend to treat the securities as prepaid financial contracts that are not debt, with associated contingent coupons that constitute ordinary income and that, when paid to a non-U.S. holder, are generally subject to 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding.  Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has advised that while it believes this treatment to be reasonable, it is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that this treatment will be upheld, and that other reasonable treatments are possible that could materially affect the timing and character of income or loss on your securities.  If this treatment is respected, you generally should recognize short-term capital gain or loss on the taxable disposition of your securities (including retirement), unless you have held the securities for more than one year, in which case your gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss. However, it is likely that any sales proceeds that are attributable to the next succeeding contingent coupon after it has been fixed will be treated as ordinary income and also possible that any sales proceeds attributable to the next succeeding contingent coupon prior to the time it has been fixed will be treated as ordinary income.
 
In 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether beneficial owners of these instruments should be required to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; and the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.
 
You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” The preceding discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
 
Under current law, the United Kingdom will not impose withholding tax on payments made with respect to the securities.
 
For a discussion of certain German tax considerations relating to the securities, you should refer to the section in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders.”
 
 
 
TS-7

 
 
 
You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
 
Selected Risk Considerations
 
An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying or in any of the component securities held by the Underlying. In addition to these selected risk considerations, you should review the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement.
 
 
·
YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS — The return on the securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the Underlying. If the securities are not automatically called, you will lose 1.17647% of the Face Amount of securities for every 1.00% by which the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount.  Accordingly, you may lose up to 100.00% of your initial investment if the Final Price is less than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount. Because the securities are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount is subject to our ability to meet our obligations as they become due.
 
 
·
YOUR RETURN ON THE SECURITIES IS LIMITED TO THE FACE AMOUNT PLUS COUPON PAYMENTS AND YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY APPRECIATION OF THE UNDERLYING — The securities will not pay more than the Face Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid Contingent Coupon, at maturity or upon an Automatic Call. You will not participate in the appreciation of the Underlying even if the Final Price of the Underlying is greater than or equal to the Initial Price. The maximum payment upon an Automatic Call or at maturity will be $1,000 per $1,000 Face Amount of securities (excluding Contingent Coupon payments), regardless of any appreciation of the Underlying, which may be significant.
 
 
·
NO CONTINGENT COUPON WILL ACCRUE OR BE PAID IN ANY PERIOD IN WHICH THE CLOSING PRICE OF THE UNDERLYING ON THE RELEVANT OBSERVATION DATE IS LESS THAN THE COUPON BARRIER — If the Closing Price of the Underlying on an Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon for that entire period. You will receive the Contingent Coupon payment for a period only if the Closing Price of the Underlying on the relevant Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier. If the Closing Price of the Underlying is below the Coupon Barrier on each Observation Date, you will receive no Contingent Coupon payments during the entire term of the securities. Generally, non-payment of Contingent Coupons coincides with a greater risk of loss of your initial investment in the securities, because the Underlying is trading at a price that is lower than the Initial Price by an amount greater than the Buffer Amount.
 
 
·
NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS — As a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of shares of the Underlying or holders of the component securities held by the Underlying would have.
 
 
·
REINVESTMENT RISK  If your securities are called early, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date.
 
 
·
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO OUR CREDITWORTHINESS  The securities are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment(s) to be made on the securities depends on the ability of Deutsche Bank AG to satisfy its obligations as they come 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 our credit risk will likely have an adverse effect on the value of the securities. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG will affect the value of the securities, and in the event Deutsche Bank AG were to default on its obligations, you might not receive any amount(s) owed to you under the terms of the securities and you could lose your entire investment.
 
 
·
THE ISSUER’S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE SECURITIES ON THE TRADE DATE WILL BE LESS THAN THE ISSUE PRICE OF THE SECURITIES  The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this term sheet) is less than the Issue Price of the securities.  The difference between the Issue Price and the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date is due to the inclusion in the Issue Price of the agent’s commissions, if any, and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our affiliates. Such hedging cost includes our or our affiliates’ expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our affiliates expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge. The Issuer’s estimated value of the securities is determined by reference to an internal funding rate and our pricing models. The internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate we would pay when we issue conventional debt securities on equivalent terms. This difference in funding rate, as well as the agent’s commissions, if any, and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities, reduces the economic terms of the securities to you and is expected to adversely affect the price at which you may be able to sell the securities in any secondary market. In addition, our internal pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect.  If at any time a third party dealer were to quote a price to purchase your securities or otherwise value your securities, that price or value may differ materially from the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal funding rate and pricing models.  This difference is due to, among other things, any difference in funding rates, pricing models or assumptions used by any dealer who may purchase the securities in the secondary market.
 
 
·
INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES IS NOT THE SAME AS INVESTING IN THE UNDERLYING OR THE COMPONENT SECURITIES HELD BY THE UNDERLYING — The return on your securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you were directly invested in the Underlying or the component securities held by the Underlying. For instance, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions or other rights that holders of the component securities held by the Underlying or holders of shares of the
 
 
 
 
TS-8

 
 
 
 
 
 
Underlying would have. Further, you will not participate in any potential appreciation of the Underlying, which could be significant.
 
 
·
THE ANTI-DILUTION PROTECTION IS LIMITED — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor, which will initially be set at 1.0, for certain events affecting the shares of the Underlying. The calculation agent is not required, however, to make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the shares of the Underlying. If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the value of the securities may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, you should be aware that the calculation agent may, at its sole discretion, make adjustments to the Share Adjustment Factor or any other terms of the securities that are in addition to, or that differ from, those described in the accompanying product supplement to reflect changes occurring in relation to the Underlying in circumstances where the calculation agent determines that it is appropriate to reflect those changes to ensure an equitable result. Any alterations to the specified anti-dilution adjustments described in the accompanying product supplement may be materially adverse to investors in the securities. You should read “Description of Securities — Anti-Dilution Adjustments for Funds” in the accompanying product supplement in order to understand the adjustments that may be made to the securities.
 
 
·
FLUCTUATION OF NAV — The net asset value (the “NAV”) of an exchange traded fund may fluctuate with changes in the market value of such exchange traded fund’s portfolio holdings. The price of the shares of the Underlying may fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV and supply and demand on the applicable stock exchanges. In addition, the price of the shares of the Underlying may differ from its NAV per share.  The Underlying may trade at, above or below its NAV per share.
 
 
·
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNDERLYING OR TO THE TRACKED INDEX COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — Blackrock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) is the investment advisor to the Underlying, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the level and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Tracked Index. The stocks included in the Tracked Index are selected by MSCI Inc. (“MSCI”). The Tracked Index is calculated and published by MSCI. MSCI can add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the Tracked Index, which could change the value of the Tracked Index. Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, BFA may add, delete or substitute the component securities held by the Underlying. Any of these actions could cause or contribute to large movements in the prices of the component securities held by the Underlying, which could cause the price of the shares of the Underlying to decline.
 
 
·
THE UNDERLYING AND THE TRACKED INDEX ARE DIFFERENT — The performance of the Underlying may not exactly replicate the performance of the Tracked Index because the Underlying will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the Tracked Index. It is also possible that the Underlying may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the Tracked Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in the Underlying or due to other circumstances. BFA may invest up to 10% of the Underlying’s assets in futures contracts, options on futures contracts, other types of options, and swaps related to the Tracked Index as well as cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates. The Underlying may use options and futures contracts, convertible securities and structured notes in seeking performance that corresponds to the Tracked Index and in managing cash flows. Finally, because the shares of the Underlying are traded on the NYSE Arca and are subject to market supply and investor demand, the market value of one share of the Underlying may differ from the net asset value per share of the Underlying. For all of the foregoing reasons, the performance of the Underlying may not correlate with the performance of the Tracked Index.
 
 
·
THERE IS NO AFFILIATION BETWEEN THE UNDERLYING AND US, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DISCLOSURE BY THE UNDERLYING — We are not affiliated with the Underlying or the issuers of the component securities held by the Underlying or underlying the Tracked Index (such stocks, “Underlying Stocks”; the issuers of Underlying Stocks, “Underlying Stock Issuers”). However, we and our affiliates may currently or from time to time in the future engage in business with many of the Underlying Stock Issuers. Nevertheless, neither we nor our affiliates assume any responsibility for the accuracy or the completeness of any information about the Underlying Stocks or any of the Underlying Stock Issuers. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into the Underlying Stocks and the Underlying Stock Issuers. Neither the Underlying nor any of the Underlying Stock Issuers is involved in this offering in any way and none of them has any obligation of any sort with respect to your securities. Neither the Underlying nor any of the Underlying Stock Issuers has any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your securities.
 
 
·
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK — Because the Underlying invests in stocks denominated in foreign currencies but its shares are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates may negatively impact the Underlying’s return. Of particular importance to currency exchange rate risk are:
 
•  existing and expected rates of inflation;
•  existing and expected interest rate levels;
•  political, civil or military unrest;
•  the balance of payments between countries; and
•  the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the countries represented in the Underlying and the United States of America.
 
All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of the countries represented in the Underlying, the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance. An investor’s net exposure to currency exchange rate risk will depend on the extent to which the currencies represented in the Underlying strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of
 
 
 
TS-9

 
 
 
each currency represented in the overall Underlying. If, taking into account such weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against the component currencies as a whole, the price of the Underlying will be adversely affected and the value of the securities may be reduced. Additionally, the volatility and/or the correlation (including the direction and the extent of such correlation) of the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies represented in the Underlying could affect the value of the securities.
 
 
·
THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LINKED TO THE VALUES OF EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUED BY NON-U.S. COMPANIES — The Underlying holds component stocks that are issued by companies incorporated outside of the U.S. Because the component stocks also trade outside the U.S., the securities are subject to the risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets. Generally, non-U.S. securities markets may be more volatile than U.S. securities markets, and market developments may affect non-U.S. securities markets differently than U.S. securities markets, which may adversely affect the value of the Underlying and the value of your securities. Furthermore, there are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the values of equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies. There is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. In addition, the prices of equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies may be adversely affected by political, economic, financial and social factors that may be unique to the particular countries in which the non-U.S. companies are incorporated. These factors include the possibility of recent or future changes in a non-U.S. government’s economic and fiscal policies (including any direct or indirect intervention to stabilize the economy and/or securities market of the country of such non-U.S. government), the presence, and extent, of cross shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, the possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other non-U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or investments in non-U.S. securities and the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies. Moreover, certain aspects of a particular non-U.S. economy may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in important respects, such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.
 
 
·
THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EMERGING MARKETS RISK — The value of the securities is subject to the political and economic risks of emerging market countries by linking to the performance of the Underlying. The stocks held by the Underlying include stocks of companies that are located in emerging market countries and whose securities trade on the exchanges of emerging market countries. In recent years, some emerging markets have undergone significant political, economic and social upheaval. Such far-reaching changes have resulted in constitutional and social tensions and, in some cases, instability and reaction against market reforms has occurred. With respect to any emerging market nation, there is the possibility of nationalization, expropriation or confiscation, political changes, government regulation and social instability. Future political changes may adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market nation. Political or economic instability could affect the value of the securities and the amount payable to you on the securities.
 
 
·
IF THE PRICE OF THE UNDERLYING CHANGES, THE VALUE OF YOUR SECURITIES MAY NOT CHANGE IN THE SAME MANNER — Your securities may trade quite differently from the shares of the Underlying. Changes in the market price of the shares of the Underlying may not result in a comparable change in the value of your securities.
 
 
·
PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE UNDERLYING, THE TRACKED INDEX OR OF THE COMPONENT SECURITIES HELD BY THE UNDERLYING IS NO GUIDE TO FUTURE PERFORMANCE — The actual performance of the Underlying, the Tracked Index or of the component securities held by the Underlying over the term of the securities may bear little relation to the historical prices of the Underlying or the component securities held by the Underlying or the level of the Tracked Index, and may bear little relation to the hypothetical return examples set forth elsewhere in this term sheet. We cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying, the Tracked Index or the component securities held by the Underlying or whether the performance of the Underlying will result in the return of any of your investment.
 
 
·
THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY — The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities when you wish to do so or at a price advantageous to you. We and our affiliates intend to act as market makers for the securities but are not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates are willing to buy the securities. If, at any time, we or our affiliates do not act as market makers, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the securities.
 
 
·
ASSUMING NO CHANGES IN MARKET CONDITIONS AND OTHER RELEVANT FACTORS, THE PRICE YOU MAY RECEIVE FOR YOUR SECURITIES IN SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS WOULD GENERALLY BE LOWER THAN BOTH THE ISSUE PRICE AND THE ISSUER'S ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE SECURITIES ON THE TRADE DATE — While the payment(s) on the securities described in this term sheet is based on the full Face Amount of your securities, the Issuer's estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date (as disclosed on the cover of this term sheet) is less than the Issue Price of the securities. The Issuer's estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date does not represent the price at which we or any of our affiliates would be willing to purchase your securities in the secondary market at any time.  Assuming no changes in market conditions or our creditworthiness and other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, would generally be lower than both the Issue Price and the Issuer's estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date.  Our purchase price, if any, in secondary market transactions would be based on the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to (i) the then-prevailing internal funding rate (adjusted by a spread) or another appropriate measure of our cost of funds and (ii) our pricing models at that time, less a bid spread determined after taking into account the
 
 
 
 
TS-10

 
 
 
 
 
size of the repurchase, the nature of the assets underlying the securities and then-prevailing market conditions. The price we report to financial reporting services and to distributors of our securities for use on customer account statements would generally be determined on the same basis. However, during the period of approximately three months beginning from the Trade Date, we or our affiliates may, in our sole discretion, increase the purchase price determined as described above by an amount equal to the declining differential between the Issue Price and the Issuer's estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date, prorated over such period on a straight-line basis, for transactions that are individually and in the aggregate of the expected size for ordinary secondary market repurchases.
 
In addition to the factors discussed above, the value of the securities and our purchase price in secondary market transactions after the Trade Date, if any, will vary based on many economic market factors, including our creditworthiness, and cannot be predicted with accuracy. These changes may adversely affect the value of your securities, including the price you may receive in any secondary market transactions. Any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your securities to maturity.
 
 
·
MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — While we expect that, generally, the price of the Underlying will affect the value of the securities more than any other single factor, the value of the securities will also be affected by a number of other factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
 
 
the expected volatility of the Underlying;
 
 
the time remaining to maturity of the securities;
 
 
the market price of and dividend rate on the shares of the Underlying and the component securities held by the Underlying;
 
 
the occurrence of certain events affecting the Underlying that may or may not require an anti-dilution adjustment;
 
 
the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the non-U.S. currencies that the component securities held by the Underlying are traded in;
 
 
interest rates and yields in the market generally and in the markets of the shares of the Underlying and the component securities held by the Underlying;
 
 
geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the Underlying, the Tracked Index or markets generally;
 
 
the composition of the investment portfolio of the Underlying and any changes thereto;
 
 
supply and demand for the securities; and
 
 
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
 
 
·
TRADING AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS BY US OR OUR AFFILIATES IN THE EQUITY AND EQUITY DERIVATIVE MARKETS MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIES — We or one or more of our affiliates expect to hedge our exposure from the securities by entering into equity and equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options or exchange-traded instruments. Such trading and hedging activities may affect the Underlying and make it less likely that you will receive a positive return on your investment in the securities. It is possible that we or our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the value of the securities declines. We or our affiliates may also engage in trading in instruments linked to the Underlying on a regular basis as part of our general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including block transactions. We or our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to the Underlying. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the securities. Any of the foregoing activities described in this paragraph may reflect trading strategies that differ from, or are in direct opposition to, investors’ trading and investment strategies related to the securities. Furthermore, because Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”) or its affiliates expects to conduct trading and hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, DBSI or its affiliates will profit in connection with such trading and hedging activities and such profit will be in addition to any compensation that DBSI receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities and may create a further incentive for DBSI to sell the securities to you.
 
 
·
WE, OUR AFFILIATES OR OUR AGENTS MAY PUBLISH RESEARCH, EXPRESS OPINIONS OR PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH INVESTING IN OR HOLDING THE SECURITIES. ANY SUCH RESEARCH, OPINIONS OR RECOMMENDATIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PRICE OF THE UNDERLYING TO WHICH THE SECURITIES ARE LINKED OR THE VALUE OF THE SECURITIESWe, our affiliates or our agents may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that could adversely affect the value of the securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by us, our affiliates or our agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the securities and the Underlying to which the securities are linked.
 
 
·
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, including acting as calculation agent, hedging our obligations under the securities and determining the Issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the Trade Date and the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions. In performing these duties,
 
 
 
 
TS-11

 
 
 
 
 
 
our economic interests and those of our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. The calculation agent will determine, among other things, the amount that we will pay you upon an Automatic Call or at maturity. The calculation agent will also be responsible for determining whether a market disruption event has occurred. The determination of a market disruption event by the calculation agent could adversely affect the amount payable on the securities.
 
 
·
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES  There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as prepaid financial contracts that are not debt, with associated contingent coupons, as described above under “Tax Consequences.” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the securities could be materially affected. In addition, as described above under “Tax Consequences,” in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Historical Information
 
The following graph sets forth the historical performance of the Underlying based on the daily closing prices from July 30, 2009 through July 30, 2014. The closing price of the iShares® MSCI Emerging Markets ETF on July 30, 2014 was $44.60. We obtained the Underlying closing prices below from Bloomberg, and we have not participated in the preparation of, or verified, such information. The historical closing prices of the Underlying should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Closing Prices of the Underlying on the Observation Dates or the Final Valuation Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Underlying will result in the return of any of your initial investment.
 
 
Supplemental Underwriting Information (Conflicts of Interest)
 
DBSI, acting as agent for Deutsche Bank AG, will receive a selling concession in connection with the sale of the securities of up to 0.45% or $4.50 per $1,000 Face Amount of securities. DBSI may pay custodial fees of up to 0.25% or $2.50 per $1,000 Face Amount of securities to certain other broker-dealers.
 
DBSI, the agent for this offering, is our affiliate. Because DBSI is both our affiliate and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), the underwriting arrangement for this offering must comply with the requirements of FINRA Rule 5121 regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related conflicts of interest. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, DBSI may not make sales in offerings of the securities to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of the customer. See “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.
 
Settlement
 
We expect to deliver the securities against payment for the securities on the Settlement Date indicated above, which may be a date that is greater than three business days following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the Settlement Date is more than three business days after the Trade Date, purchasers who wish to transact in the securities more than three business days prior to the Settlement Date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
