credit or other evaluation or (i ) should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or the Managers that any recipient of this

Investing in the Notes involves certain risks. For a discussion of certain significant factors affecting investments in the Notes, see
"Risk Factors". The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must determine
the suitability and appropriateness of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits and risks of investing in

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation,

Factors" may have on the value of the Notes. If one or more of the risks described below occurs, this may result in material
decreases in the price of the Notes or, in the worst-case scenario, in a total loss of interest and the capital invested by the investor.

delivery of Notes shall in any circumstances imply that the information contained in the aforementioned related documents is
accurate and complete subsequent to the date hereof or that there has been no adverse change in the financial condition of the

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation or solicitation by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Managers or any
affiliate of any of them to subscribe for or purchase, any Notes in any jurisdiction by any person to whom it is unlawful to make such
an offer, invitation or solicitation in such jurisdiction. Applicable law in certain jurisdictions may restrict the distribution of this

themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and
distribution of this Prospectus as a whole, see "Subscription and Sale of the Notes" below.

affiliate of the Managers is a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction and so agrees, the offering shall be deemed to be made
by the Managers or such parent company or affiliate on behalf of the Issuer in such jurisdiction.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission nor any other regulatory
authority, has approved or disapproved of the Notes; nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed
the merits of this offering or the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.
In particular, the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the

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 EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended),
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (the "PRI Ps Regulation") for of ering 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 PRIIPs Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UNITED KINGDOM 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 UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law of the UK by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services
and Markets Authority ("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

No. 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared

under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

investors in the Notes should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with
respect to any resale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), including the Regulations. By purchasing, or making or
accepting an offer to purchase any Notes (or a beneficial interest in the Notes) from the Issuer and/or the Managers each
prospective investor represents, warrants, agrees with and undertakes to the Issuer and each of the Managers that:
(1)
(A)
it is not a retail client (as defined in MiFID II, UK Delegated Regulation or COBS); and

(B)
it is not a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (Insurance Distribution Directive), where that
customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4 (1) of MiFID II;
(2)
whether or not it is subject to the Regulations, it will not:

(A)
sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients (as defined in MiFID II, UK Delegated
Regulation or COBS); or

(B)
communicate (including the distribution of the Prospectus) or approve an invitation or inducement to participate in,
acquire or underwrite the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed
to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client (in each case within the meaning of
the Regulations);

and in selling or offering the Notes or making or approving communications relating to the Notes it may not rely on the
limited exemptions set out in COBS;
(3)
if it is a person in Hong Kong, it is a 'professional investor' as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of
Hong Kong (the "SFO") and any rules made under the SFO; and
(4)
it will at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA or
the UK) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), including
(without limitation) MiFID II, UK Delegated Regulation or the UK FCA Handbook and any other such laws, regulations and
regulatory guidance as to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial
interests therein) by investors in any relevant jurisdiction.
Each prospective investor further acknowledges that:
(1)
the identified target market for the Notes (for the purposes of the product governance obligations in MiFID II or UK
Delegated Regulation), taking into account the five categories referred to in item 18 of the Guidelines published by the
European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") on 5 February 2018, is eligible counterparties and professional clients
only;
5

(2)
no key information document (KID) under the PRIIPs Regulation 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 PRIIPs Regulation;
and
(3)
no key information document (KID) under the UK PRIIPs Regulation 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.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase,
any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the Managers the foregoing representations, warranties,
agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.
BENCHMARKS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ON REGISTRATION OF BENCHMARK

to Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). As far as the Issuer is aware, the transitional

result, it may not be possible for holders or beneficial owners of the Notes to effect service of process within the United States upon
the Issuer or such persons, or to enforce against any of them in U.S. courts judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the federal securities or other laws of the United States or any state or other jurisdiction thereof.

The information set out above is incorporated by reference in, and forms part of, this Prospectus (see the section "Documents
Incorporated by Reference" in this Prospectus).
Risk Factors in Respect of the Notes
The Risk Factors relating to the Notes are presented according to their nature in the following five categories:
1.
Risks Relating to the Regulatory Classification of Notes;
2.
Risks Relating to the Interest and Redemption Structure of the Notes;
3.
Risks Relating to Certain Other Features of the Notes;
4.
Risks Relating to the Taxation of the Notes; and
5.
Other Related Risks.
Within these five different categories, each individual Risk Factor has been indicated by a title (in bold italic font). Where a
Risk Factor may be categorised in more than one category, such Risk Factor appears only once and in the most relevant
category for such Risk Factor. The most material risk in a category is presented first under that category. The assessment of
materiality was based on the probability of occurrence and expected magnitude of negative impact. Subsequent Risk Factors
in the same category are not ranked in order of materiality of occurrence.

Risks Relating to the Regulatory Classification of Notes
The redemption amount and the nominal amount of the Notes will be reduced under the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, which may result in lower Interest
Payments as well as lower payment of principal upon redemption of the Notes. If the redemption
amount and the nominal amount of the Notes is reduced to zero, this may result in a full loss of the
money invested in the Notes. Any indication that the Issuer's Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio is moving
towards the level of a Trigger Event may have a significant adverse effect on the market price of the
Notes.
Under the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, the nominal amount of the Notes is subject to a write-down ("Write-down") if the
Issuer's common equity tier 1 capital ratio pursuant to Article 92(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013, as supplemented or
amended from time to time (Capital Requirements Regulation, "CRR"), determined on a consolidated basis (the "Common
Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio") falls below 5.125% (the "Trigger Event"). A Trigger Event may be determined at any time and
may occur on more than one occasion. The occurrence of a Trigger Event and therefore a Write-down is inherently
unpredictable and depends on a number of factors, any of which may be outside the control of the Issuer.
In case of a Write-down and with effect from the beginning of the interest period in which such Write-down occurs, Interest
Payments will be calculated on the basis of the reduced nominal amount of the Notes and thus not accrue in ful . In such event,
Holders would receive no, or reduced, Interest Payments on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
"Interest Payment Date" means 30 April in each year.

"Interest Payments" means any payments of interest in respect of the Notes.
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, a write-down shall be effected pro rata with all of the Issuer's other Additional Tier 1
instruments ("AT1 Instruments") within the meaning of the CRR the terms of which provide for a write-down (whether
permanent or temporary) or a conversion into common equity tier 1 ("CET1") instruments upon the occurrence of the Trigger
Event. For such purpose, the total amount of the write-downs and conversions to be allocated pro rata shall be equal to the
amount required to restore fully the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer to the Minimum CET1 Ratio but shall not
exceed the sum of the nominal amounts of the relevant instruments outstanding at the time of occurrence of the Trigger Event.
Such Write-down could also negatively affect the size of the redemption amount payable on the Notes as the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes stipulate that the Issuer has the right to call the Notes for redemption for certain tax or regulatory
reasons even if the redemption amount payable on the Notes has been and continues to be reduced due to such Write-down.
The amount to be repaid under the Notes, if any, may thus be substantially lower than the initial nominal amount of the Notes,
and may also be reduced to zero which would result in a full loss of all money invested in the Notes. In addition, any such
Write-down will not constitute an event of default with respect to the Notes.
Therefore, as any event which could result in a Write-down of the redemption amount and the nominal amount of the Notes
may adversely affect the market value of the Notes and reduce the liquidity of the Notes, the market price of the Notes is
expected to be affected by changes in the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer. Such changes may be caused by
changes in the amount of CET1 capital and/or risk weighted assets (each of which shall be calculated by the Issuer on a fully
loaded and consolidated basis), as well as changes to their definition and interpretation under the applicable regulations. Any
indication that the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of the Issuer is moving towards the level of a Trigger Event may have
an adverse effect on the market price of the Notes. A decline or perceived decline in the Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio
may significantly adversely affect the trading price of the Notes.
The Issuer's current and future outstanding junior instruments might not include write-down or similar features with triggers
comparable to those of the Notes. As a result, it is possible that the Notes will be subject to a Write-down, while other junior
instruments remain outstanding and continue to receive payments.
Following a Write-down of the redemption amount and the nominal amount in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the
Notes described above, the Issuer will, subject to certain limitations set out in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, be
entitled (but not obliged) to effect, in its sole discretion an increase of the redemption amount and thereby the nominal amount
of the Notes up to their initial nominal amount (a "Write-up"). However, there can be no assurance that the Issuer will at any
time have the ability and be willing to ef ect such Write-up.
The Notes may be written down (without prospect of a potential Write-up in accordance with the
Terms and Conditions of the Notes) or converted into equity, and the terms of the Notes may be
varied to the detriment of the Holders, by the competent authority.
In addition to being subject to a possible Write-down upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event in accordance with the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes, the Notes may also be subject to a permanent write-down or conversion into ordinary shares or other
instruments of ownership (in whole or in part) and/or to other resolution measures, in particular in circumstances where the
competent authorities have determined that the Issuer has reached the point of non-viability and the competent resolution
authority has taken the decision to apply these measures to the Issuer.
On 15 May 2014, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted Directive 2014/59/EU establishing
a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, as amended by Directive (EU) 2019/879
of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Directive 2014/59/EU as regards the loss-absorbing
and recapitalisation capacity of credit institutions and investment firms and Directive 98/26/EC (the "BRRD I "), which was
transposed into German law in the German Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz "SAG"). For
banks established in the eurozone, such as the Issuer, which are supervised within the framework of the Single Supervisory
Mechanism (the "SSM"), Regulation (EU) No 806/2014, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/877 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 20 May 2019 amending Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 as regards the loss-absorbing and recapitalisation
capacity of credit institutions and investment firms (the "SRM Regulation II") provides for a coherent application of the
resolution rules across the SSM under responsibility of the European Single Resolution Board (referred to as the "Single
Resolution Mechanism" or the "SRM"). Under the SRM, the Single Resolution Board ("SRB") is responsible for adopting
resolution decisions in close cooperation with the European Central Bank ("ECB"), the European Commission, and national
resolution authorities in the event that a significant bank directly supervised by the ECB, such as the Issuer, is failing or likely to
fail and certain other conditions are met. National resolution authorities in the European Union member states concerned would
implement such resolution decisions adopted by the SRB in accordance with the powers conferred on them under national law
transposing the BRRD II. Due to their expected qualification as AT1 Instruments, the Notes are 'relevant capital instruments' as
defined in Article 3(1) no. 51 of SRM Regulation II and § 2(2) SAG which are intended to be recognised for the purposes of
meeting own funds requirements of the Issuer on a consolidated basis. The Notes are therefore in particular subject to the
'write-down and conversion of capital instruments' tool as set out in Article 21 SRM Regulation II and § 89 SAG.
If the competent authority determines that the Issuer is failing or likely to fail and certain other conditions are met (as set forth in
the SRM Regulation II, the SAG and other applicable rules and regulations), the competent resolution authority has the power
