RISK FACTORS
This section as well as the section "Risk Factors" in the Base Prospectus that is incorporated
herein by reference set out factors that the Issuer believes may affect its ability to fulfil its
obligations under the Securities and/or are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks
associated with investing in the Securities. All these factors are contingencies which may or may
not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such
contingency occurring.
The purchase of Securities involves substantial risks and is suitable only for investors who have
the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters necessary to enable them to
evaluate the risks and the merits of an investment in the Securities. Before making an investment
decision, prospective purchasers of Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of
the Securities and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider carefully, in the light
of their own financial circumstances, financial condition and investment objectives, all the
information set forth in the Base Prospectus (including "Risk Factors" therein) and this Prospectus.
RISK FACTORS IN RESPECT OF THE ISSUER
An investment in the Notes bears the risk that Deutsche Bank is not able to fulfil its obligations created by
the issuance of the Securities on the relevant due date. Thus investors may lose all or part of their
investment. Further Issuer specific risk factors are set out in sub-section "Risk Factors in Respect of the
Issuer" of the Base Prospectus which is incorporated by reference in, and forms part of, this Prospectus
(see section "Documents incorporated by reference" on page 10 et seq. of this Prospectus).
RISK FACTORS IN RESPECT OF THE SECURITIES
No rating
Investors should note that no specific rating for the Securities has been applied for or sought.
Renminbi denominated Securities
Renminbi ("CNY" or "RMB") is not freely convertible; there are significant restrictions on remittance of RMB
into and outside the People's Republic of China (the "PRC")
Renminbi is not freely convertible at present. This may adversely affect the liquidity of the RMB
denominated Securities ("RMB Securities"); the availability of RMB funds for servicing the RMB Securities
may be subject to future limitations imposed by the PRC government.
The PRC government continues to regulate conversion between Renminbi and foreign currencies,
including the euro, despite the significant reduction over the years by the PRC government of control over
routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts. Currently participating banks in Singapore,
Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have been permitted to engage in the settlement of RMB trade
transactions. This represents a current account activity.
On 7 April 2011, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC () ("SAFE")
promulgated the Circular on Issues Concerning the Capital Account Items in connection with Cross-Border
Renminbi () (the "SAFE
Circular"), which became effective on 1 May 2011. According to the SAFE Circular, in the event that
foreign investors intend to use Renminbi (including offshore Renminbi and onshore Renminbi held in the
accounts of non-PRC residents) to make a contribution to an onshore enterprise or make a payment for the
transfer of an equity interest of an onshore enterprise by a PRC resident, such onshore enterprise shall be
required to submit the relevant prior written consent from the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC ()
("MOFCOM") to the relevant local branch of SAFE of such onshore enterprise and register for a foreign
invested enterprise status. Further, the SAFE Circular clarifies that the foreign debts borrowed, and the
6

foreign guarantee provided, by an onshore entity (including a financial institution) in RMB shall, in principle,
be regulated under the current PRC foreign debt and guarantee regime.
On 13 October 2011, the People's Bank of China, the central bank of the PRC () (the
"PBOC") issued the Measures on Administration of the RMB Settlement in relation to Foreign Direct
Investment () (the "PBOC RMB FDI Measures"), as part of the
implementation of the PBOC's detailed Renminbi foreign direct investment ("RMB FDI") accounts
administration system, which covers almost all aspects of RMB FDI, including capital injection, payment of
purchase price in the acquisition of PRC domestic enterprises, repatriation of dividends and other
distributions, as well as RMB denominated cross-border loans. Under the PBOC RMB FDI Measures,
special approval for RMB FDI and shareholder loans from the PBOC which was previously required is no
longer necessary. In some cases however, post-event filing with the PBOC is still necessary. On 5 July,
2013, PBOC promulgated the Circular on Policies related to Simplifying and Improving Cross-border
Renminbi Business Procedures (Yin Fa (2013) No. 168) (
) (the "2013 PBOC Circular") with the intent to improve the efficiency of cross border Renminbi
settlement and facilitate the use of RMB for the settlement of cross border transactions under current
accounts and capital accounts. Various relaxations have been introduced under this circular but the
regulatory position is not entirely clear and practical uncertainties exist.
On 3 December 2013, the MOFCOM promulgated the "Circular on Issues in relation to Cross-border
Renminbi Foreign Direct Investment" () (the "MOFCOM
Circular"), which became effective on 1 January 2014, to further facilitate RMB foreign direct investments
("RMB FDI") by simplifying and streamlining the applicable regulatory framework. The MOFCOM Circular
replaced the "Notice on Issues in relation to Cross-border Renminbi Foreign Direct Investment" (
) promulgated by MOFCOM on 12 October 2011 (the "2011
MOFCOM Notice"). Pursuant to the MOFCOM Circular, written approval from the appropriate office of
MOFCOM and/or its local counterparts specifying "Renminbi Foreign Direct Investment" and the amount of
capital contribution is required for each RMB FDI. Compared with the 2011 MOFCOM Notice, the
MOFCOM Circular no longer contains the requirements for central level MOFCOM approvals for
investments of RMB300 million or above, or in certain industries, such as financial guarantee, financial
leasing, micro-credit, auction, foreign invested investment companies, venture capital and equity
investment vehicles, cement, iron and steel, electrolyse aluminium, ship building and other industries under
the state macro-regulation. Unlike the 2011 MOFCOM Notice, the MOFCOM Circular has also removed the
approval requirement for foreign investors who intend to change the currency of their existing capital
contribution from a foreign currency to RMB. In addition, the MOFCOM Circular also clearly prohibits RMB
FDI funds from being used for any investments in securities and financial derivatives (except for
investments in PRC listed companies by strategic investors) or for entrustment loans in the PRC.
The reforms which are being introduced and will be introduced in the Shanghai FTZ (as defined in "PRC
Currency Controls") aim to upgrade cross-border trade, liberalise foreign exchange control, improve
convenient cross-border use of Renminbi and promote the internationalisation of Renminbi. However, given
the infancy stage of the Shanghai FTZ, how the reforms will be implemented and whether (and if so when)
the reforms will be rolled out throughout China remain uncertain.
To support the development of the Shanghai FTZ, the Shanghai Head Office of PBOC issued the FTZ
RMB Expansion Circular (as defined in "PRC Currency Controls") on 20 February 2014, which allows
banks in Shanghai to settle FDI based on a foreign investor's instruction. In respect of FDI in industries that
are not on the "negative list" of the Shanghai FTZ, the MOFCOM approval previously required is replaced
by a filing. However, the application of the Shanghai FTZ Circular is limited to the Shanghai FTZ. See "PRC
Currency Controls".
As the SAFE Circular, the PBOC RMB FDI Measures, the MOFCOM Circular and the FTZ RMB Expansion
Circular are relatively new circulars, they will be subject to interpretation and application by the relevant
authorities in the PRC.
7

There is no assurance that the PRC government will continue to liberalise a control over cross-border RMB
remittances in the future or that new PRC regulations will not be promulgated in the future which have the
effect of restricting or eliminating the remittance of Renminbi into or outside the PRC. In the event that
funds cannot be repatriated outside the PRC in Renminbi, this may affect the overall availability of
Renminbi outside the PRC and the ability of the Issuer to source Renminbi to perform its obligations under
RMB Securities.
There is only limited availability of RMB outside the PRC, which may affect the liquidity of the RMB
Securities and the Issuer's ability to source RMB outside the PRC to service the RMB Securities.
As a result of the restrictions imposed by the PRC government on cross-border Renminbi fund flows, the
availability of Renminbi outside of the PRC is limited. Currently, licensed banks in Singapore, Hong Kong
and Taiwan may offer limited Renminbi-denominated banking services to Singapore residents, Hong Kong
residents, Taiwan residents and specified business customers. The PBOC has also established a
Renminbi clearing and settlement system for participating banks in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan,
London, Frankfurt and Seoul. Each of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Singapore Branch, Bank
of China (Hong Kong) Limited, Bank of China, Taipei Branch, China Construction Bank (London) Limited,
Bank of China, Frankfurt Branch and Bank of Communications, Seoul Branch (each an "RMB Clearing
Bank") has entered into settlement agreements with the PBOC to act as the RMB clearing bank in
Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, London, Frankfurt and Seoul, respectively.
However, the current size of Renminbi-denominated financial assets outside the PRC is limited. Renminbi
business participating banks do not have direct Renminbi liquidity support from the PBOC. They are only
allowed to square their open positions with the relevant RMB Clearing Bank after consolidating the
Renminbi trade position of banks outside Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, London, Frankfurt and Seoul that
are in the same bank group of the participating bank concerned with their own trade position and the
relevant RMB Clearing Bank only has access to onshore liquidity support from the PBOC for the purposes
of squaring open positions of participating banks for limited types of transactions, including open positions
resulting from conversion services for corporations relating to cross-border trade settlement. The relevant
RMB Clearing Bank is not obliged to square for participating banks any open positions resulting from other
foreign exchange transactions or conversion services and the participating banks will need to source
Renminbi from the offshore market to square such open positions.
Although it is expected that the offshore Renminbi market will continue to grow in depth and size, its growth
is subject to many constraints as a result of PRC laws and regulations on foreign exchange. There is no
assurance that new PRC regulations will not be promulgated or the settlement agreements will not be
terminated or amended in the future which will have the effect of restricting availability of Renminbi
offshore. The limited availability of Renminbi outside the PRC may affect the liquidity of the RMB
Securities. To the extent the Issuer is required to source Renminbi in the offshore market to service its
RMB Securities, there is no assurance that the Issuer will be able to source such Renminbi on satisfactory
terms, if at all.
If the Issuer cannot obtain Renminbi to satisfy its obligation to pay interest and principal on its RMB
Securities as a result of Inconvertibility, Non-transferability or Illiquidity (each as defined in the Conditions),
the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone any such payment or to settle such payment (in whole or in part) in
U.S. dollars at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the Conditions), as the case may be.
Investments in the RMB Securities are subject to RMB exchange rate risks
The value of the Renminbi against the euro and other foreign currencies fluctuates from time to time and is
affected by changes in the PRC and international political and economic conditions and by many other
factors. Except in the limited circumstances as described in the Conditions, the Issuer will make all
payments of interest and principal with respect to the RMB Securities in Renminbi. As a result, the value of
these Renminbi payments in euro or other applicable foreign currency terms may vary with the prevailing
8

exchange rates in the marketplace. If the value of Renminbi depreciates against the euro or other
applicable foreign currency, the value of a Securityholder's investment in euro or other applicable foreign
currency terms will decline.
Investments in the RMB Securities are subject to currency risks
If the Issuer is not able, or it is impracticable for it, to satisfy its obligation to pay interest and principal on
the RMB Securities when due, in whole or in part, in Renminbi in the relevant RMB Settlement Centre as a
result of Inconvertibility, Non transferability or Illiquidity, the Issuer shall be entitled, on giving not less than
five or more than 30 days' irrevocable notice to the Securityholders prior to the due date for payment, to
settle any such payment, in whole or in part, in U.S. dollars on the due date at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent
(as defined in the Conditions) of any such interest or principal amount otherwise payable in Renminbi, as
the case may be.
