RESOLU T I ON M EASU RES AN D DEEM ED AGREEM EN T

On May 15, 2014, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted a directive establishing a framework
for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (commonly referred to as the "Ba nk Re c ove ry a nd
Re solut ion Dire c t ive "). The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive required each member state of the European Union to
adopt and publish by December 31, 2014 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Bank
Recovery and Resolution Directive. Germany adopted the Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz, or
the "Re solut ion Ac t "), which became effective on January 1, 2015. The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive and the
Resolution Act provided national resolution authorities with a set of resolution powers to intervene in the event that a bank is failing
or likely to fail and certain other conditions are met. From January 1, 2016, the power to initiate resolution measures applicable to
significant banking groups (such as Deutsche Bank Group) in the European Banking Union has been transferred to the European
Single Resolution Board which, based on the European Union regulation establishing uniform rules and a uniform procedure for the
resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single
Resolution Fund (the "SRM Re gula t ion"), works in close cooperation with the European Central Bank, the European
Commission and the national resolution authorities. Pursuant to the SRM Regulation, the Resolution Act and other applicable rules
and regulations, the notes may be subject to any Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority if we become, or are
deemed by the competent supervisory authority to have become, "non-viable" (as defined under the then applicable law) and are
unable to continue our regulated banking activities without a Resolution Measure becoming applicable to us. By acquiring the
notes, you will be bound by and deemed irrevocably to consent to the provisions set forth in the accompanying prospectus, which
we have summarized below.

Pursuant to the German law on the mechanism for the resolution of banks of November 2, 2015 (Abwicklungsmechanismusgesetz,
or the "Re solut ion M e c ha nism Ac t "), in a German insolvency proceeding or in the event of the imposition of Resolution
Measures with respect to the Issuer, certain specifically defined senior unsecured debt instruments, including the notes, would rank
junior to, without constituting subordinated debt, all other outstanding unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and would
be satisfied only if all such other senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer have been paid in full. T he Re solut ion M e c ha nism

Re solut ion M e a sure s im pose d upon t he I ssue r . See "Selected Risk Considerations" in this pricing supplement and "Risk
Factors" in the accompanying prospectus for more information.

By acquiring the notes, you will be bound by and deemed irrevocably to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by
the competent resolution authority. Under the relevant resolution laws and regulations as applicable to us from time to time, the
notes may be subject to the powers exercised by the competent resolution authority to: (i) write down, including to zero, any
payment on the notes; (ii) convert the notes into ordinary shares of (a) the Issuer, (b) any group entity or (c) any bridge bank or
other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as common equity tier 1 capital; and/or (iii) apply any other resolution
measure including, but not limited to, any transfer of the notes to another entity, the amendment, modification or variation of the
terms and conditions of the notes or the cancellation of the notes. We refer to each of these measures as a "Re solut ion
M e a sure ." A "group entity" refers to an entity that is included in the corporate group subject to a Resolution Measure. A "bridge
bank" refers to a newly chartered German bank that would receive some or all of our assets, liabilities and material contracts,
including those attributable to our branches and subsidiaries, in a resolution proceeding.

Furthermore, by acquiring the notes, you:

·
are deemed irrevocably to have agreed, and you will agree: (i) to be bound by, to acknowledge and to accept any Resolution
Measure and any amendment, modification or variation of the terms and conditions of the notes to give effect to any
Resolution Measure; (ii) that you will have no claim or other right against us arising out of any Resolution Measure; and (iii)
that the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under the notes, under the
senior indenture dated November 22, 2006 among us, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, and Deutsche
Bank Trust Company Americas, as issuing agent, paying agent, authenticating agent and registrar, as amended and
supplemented from time to time (the "I nde nt ure "), or for the purposes of, but only to the fullest extent permitted by, the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "T rust I nde nt ure Ac t ");

·
waive, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and applicable law, any and all claims against the trustee and
the paying agent, the issuing agent and the registrar (each, an "inde nt ure a ge nt ") for, agree not to initiate a suit against
the trustee or the indenture agents in respect of, and agree that the trustee and the indenture agents will not be liable for,
any action that the trustee or the indenture agents take, or abstain from taking, in either case in accordance with the
imposition of a Resolution Measure by the competent resolution authority with respect to the notes; and

·
will be deemed irrevocably to have: (i) consented to the imposition of any Resolution Measure as it may be imposed without
any prior notice by the competent resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the notes; (ii)
authorized, directed and requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which

you hold such notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure
with respect to the notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on your part or on the part of the
trustee or the indenture agents; and (iii) acknowledged and accepted that the Resolution Measure provisions described herein
and in the "Resolution Measures" section of the accompanying prospectus are exhaustive on the matters described herein
and therein to the exclusion of any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between you and the Issuer relating to
the terms and conditions of the notes.

An investment in the notes involves risks. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the notes. For a complete list
of risk factors, please see the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus.

· THE VALUE OF THE NOTES MAY DECLINE DUE TO SUCH FACTORS AS A RISE IN INFLATION
AN D /OR I N T EREST RAT ES OV ER T H E T ERM OF T H E N OT ES -- Because the notes mature in 2019, their value
may decline over time due to such factors as inflation and/or rising interest rates. In addition, if the market interest rates
rise during the term of the notes, the Interest Rate on the notes may in the future be lower than the interest rates for
similar debt securities then prevailing in the market. If this occurs, you will not be able to require the Issuer to redeem the
notes and will, therefore, bear the risk of holding the notes and of earning a lower return than you could earn on other
investments until the Maturity Date.

· THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO THE CREDIT OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG -- The notes are senior unsecured
obligations of Deutsche Bank AG and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any interest
payments to be made on the notes and the repayment of principal at maturity depend on the ability of Deutsche Bank AG
to satisfy its obligations as they become 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 Deutsche Bank AG's credit risk will likely have an adverse
effect on the value of the notes. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Deutsche Bank AG will affect the
value of the notes. On March 21, 2016, Moody's Investors Service placed Deutsche Bank AG's long-term senior
unsecured debt rating (currently Baa1) on review for possible downgrade. On April 1, 2016, DBRS Ratings placed
Deutsche Bank AG's senior unsecured long-term debt rating (currently A) under review with negative implications.
Moody's and DBRS' final decisions as well as the timing of any of their actions are uncertain, although Moody's and
DBRS could take these rating actions at any time. Any future downgrade could materially affect Deutsche Bank AG's
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159508/000095010316013313/dp65666_424b2-ps2688.htm[5/11/2016 5:15:22 PM]


funding costs and cause the trading price of the notes to decline significantly. Additionally, under many derivative contracts
to which Deutsche Bank AG is a party, a downgrade could require it to post additional collateral, lead to terminations of
contracts with accompanying payment obligations or give counterparties additional remedies. In the event Deutsche Bank
AG were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to a Resolution Measure, you might not receive interest
and principal payments owed to you under the terms of the notes and you could lose your entire investment.

APPLI CABLE T O U S -- Pursuant to the SRM Regulation, the Resolution Act and other applicable rules and regulations
described above under "Resolution Measures and Deemed Agreement," the notes are subject to the powers exercised by
the competent resolution authority to impose Resolution Measures on us, which may include: writing down, including to
zero, any claim for payment on the notes; converting the notes into ordinary shares of (i) the Issuer, (ii) any group entity or
(iii) any bridge bank or other instruments of ownership of such entities qualifying as common equity tier 1 capital; or
applying any other resolution measure including, but not limited to, transferring the notes to another entity, amending,
modifying or varying the terms and conditions of the notes or cancelling the notes. The competent resolution authority may
apply Resolution Measures individually or in any combination.

The Resolution Mechanism Act provides that, in a German insolvency proceeding of the Issuer, certain specifically defined
senior unsecured debt instruments would rank junior to, without constituting subordinated debt, all other outstanding
unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and would be satisfied only if all such other senior unsecured
obligations of the Issuer have been paid in full. This prioritization would also be given effect if Resolution Measures are
imposed on the Issuer, so that obligations under debt instruments that rank junior in insolvency as described above would
be written down or converted into common equity tier 1 instruments before any other senior unsecured obligations of the
Issuer are written down or converted. A large portion of our liabilities consist of senior unsecured obligations that either fall
outside the statutory definition of debt instruments that rank junior to other senior unsecured obligations according to the
Resolution Mechanism Act or are expressly exempted from such definition.

Among those unsecured unsubordinated obligations that are expressly exempted are money market instruments and
senior unsecured debt instruments whose terms provide that (i) the repayment or the amount of the repayment depends
on the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event which is uncertain at the point in time when the senior unsecured debt
instruments are issued or is settled in a way other than by monetary payment, or (ii) the payment of interest or the
amount of the interest payments depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event which is uncertain at the point
in time when the senior unsecured debt instruments are issued unless the payment of interest or the amount of the
interest payments solely depends on a fixed or floating reference interest rate and is settled by monetary payment. This
order of priority introduced by the Resolution Mechanism Act would apply in German insolvency proceedings instituted, or
when Resolution Measures are imposed, on or after January 1, 2017

with effect for debt instruments of the Issuer outstanding at that time. In a German insolvency proceeding or in the event
of the imposition of Resolution Measures with respect to the Issuer, the competent regulatory authority or court would
determine which of our senior debt securities issued under the prospectus have the terms described in clauses (i) or (ii)
above, referred to herein as the "St ruc t ure d De bt Se c urit ie s ," and which do not, referred to herein as the

and Resolution Directive and the Resolution Act are intended to eliminate the need for public support of troubled banks,
and you should be aware that public support, if any, would only potentially be used by the competent supervisory authority
as a last resort after having assessed and exploited, to the maximum extent practicable, the resolution tools, including the
bail-in tool. Y ou m a y lose som e or a ll of your inve st m e nt in t he not e s if a Re solut ion M e a sure be c om e s

By acquiring the notes, you would have no claim or other right against us arising out of any Resolution Measure and we
would have no obligation to make payments under the notes following the imposition of a Resolution Measure. In
particular, the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under the notes,
under the Indenture or for the purposes of, but only to the fullest extent permitted by, the Trust Indenture Act.
Furthermore, because the notes are subject to any Resolution Measure, secondary market trading in the notes may not
follow the trading behavior associated with similar types of securities issued by other financial institutions which may be or
have been subject to a Resolution Measure. In addition, secondary market trading in the notes may not follow the trading
behavior associated either with Structured Debt Securities issued by us or with securities issued by other financial
institutions that are not subject to the Resolution Mechanism Act or similar laws.

In addition, by your acquisition of the notes, you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act and
applicable law, any and all claims against the trustee and the indenture agents for, agree not to initiate a suit against the
trustee or the indenture agents in respect of, and agree that the trustee and the indenture agents will not be liable for, any

· THE NOTES WILL NOT BE LISTED AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED LIQUIDITY -- The notes will
not be listed on any securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the notes. We or our affiliates
intend to act as market makers for the notes but are not required to do so and may cease such market making activities at
any time. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes
when you wish to do so or at a price advantageous to you. Because we do not expect that other market makers will
participate significantly in the secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your notes is
likely to depend on the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates are willing to buy the notes. 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 notes.

· MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES -- The value of
the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other,
including:


the time remaining to the maturity of the notes;


trends relating to inflation;


interest rates and yields in the markets generally;

geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the markets
generally;


supply and demand for the notes; and


our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

· HOLDINGS OF THE NOTES BY OUR AFFILIATES AND FUTURE SALES MAY AFFECT THE PRICE OF
T H E N OT ES -- Certain of our affiliates may purchase some of the notes for investment. As a result, upon completion of
an offering, our affiliates may own a portion of the notes offered in that offering. Circumstances may occur in which our
interests or those of our affiliates may be in conflict with your interests. In addition, if a substantial portion of the notes held

The notes will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such state, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions of law.

T a x Conside ra t ions

You should review carefully the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "United States Federal Income
Taxation." The notes will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as fixed rate debt instruments that are issued without
original issue discount.

If you purchase a note at a price that is greater or less than the issue price, you may be considered to have purchased the
note with "amortizable bond premium" or "market discount," respectively. See "United States Federal Income Taxation -- Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders -- Market Discount" and "United States Federal Income Taxation -- Tax Consequences to U.S.
Holders -- Acquisition Premium and Amortizable Bond Premium," as applicable, on page PS-40 of the accompanying prospectus
supplement.

If you are a non-U.S. holder, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including withholding tax), provided that you
fulfill certain certification requirements and certain other conditions are met. See "United States Federal Income Taxation -- Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders" on page PS-42 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the section of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "United States
Federal Income Taxation -- `FATCA' Legislation," under a recent IRS notice, withholding under FATCA will not apply to payments
of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest) of a taxable disposition of the notes occurring before January 1,
2019. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA, including the availability of certain refunds
or credits.

Under current law, the United Kingdom will not impose withholding tax on payments made with respect to the notes.

For a discussion of certain German tax considerations relating to the notes, you should refer to the section in the
accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders."

Notes sold by the Agents to the public will initially be offered at the Issue Price set forth on the cover of this pricing
supplement. If all of the notes are not sold at the Issue Price, the Agents may change the offering price and the other selling
terms.

The Agents will receive a selling concession in connection with the sale of the notes of 0.175%, or $1.75 per $1,000 Principal
Amount of notes. The Agents may also sell the notes to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Agents and/or the purchasers of the notes for whom they may
act as agent, and such compensation received by such dealers will not be in excess of the selling concession the Agents receive
from us. In connection with the sale of the notes, the Agents may receive commissions from the purchasers of the notes for whom
they may act as agent. The Agents and any dealers that participate with the Agents in the distribution of the notes may be deemed
to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the notes by them may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions.

We own, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity securities of DBSI. The net proceeds received from the sale of the
notes may be used, in part, by DBSI or one of its affiliates in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes. Because
DBSI is both our affiliate and a member of FINRA, the underwriting arrangements 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 notes to any of its discretionary
accounts without the prior written approval of the customer.

DBSI or another Agent may act as principal or agent in connection with offers and sales of the notes in the secondary market.
