1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME

1.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME
This chapter contains a general description of the Offering Programme and its essential
characteristics. In addition to general information on the Offering Programme, it provides
information on the Issuer, the products issued under the Programme and the distribution,
admission to trading and listing of the Securities.
1.1
Offering Programme
This Securities Note is one of several offering documents (including prospectuses) under
which the Issuer (as defined below) is permitted to offer structured securities ("Securities") as
part of the Programme for the issuance of certificates, warrants and notes (the "Offering
Programme" or the "Programme"). Securities may be publicly offered under this Securities
Note by way of:
-
New issuances (i.e. issue of new Securities) and
-
Further issuances (e.g. increasing the Issue Volume of already issued Securities).
At the same time, an application may be made with this Securities Note to admit the Securities
to trading on a regulated market or organised market or to include them for trading on a non-
regulated market.
The Programme and the issue of Securities thereunder have been duly authorised by the
competent representatives of Deutsche Bank. The Programme is considered to be in the
ordinary course of Deutsche Bank's business and therefore does not require authorisation by
board resolutions.
Deutsche Bank has obtained or wil obtain from time to time all necessary consents, approvals
and authorisations in connection with the issue and performance of its obligations under the
Securities.
1.2
Issuer
Securities under this Securities Note are issued by Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, acting
either through its head office in Frankfurt am Main or through any of its foreign branch offices
in London ("Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch"), Milan ("Deutsche Bank AG, Milan
Branch"), Portugal ("Deutsche Bank AG, Sucursal em Portugal"), Spain ("Deutsche Bank
AG, Sucursal en España") or Zurich ("Deutsche Bank AG, Zurich Branch") ("Issuer" or
"Deutsche Bank"). The issuance of Securities is carried out by the Issuer as part of its general
banking business (as set out in Article 2(1) of the Articles of Association of the Issuer). The
Registration Document contains more detailed information on the Issuer's organisation,
business activities, financial situation, earnings and prospects, management and ownership
structure. Investors can find more detailed information on the Issuer and Issuer-related risk
factors in the Registration Document.
1.3
Products to be issued under the Programme
Form of Securities
Depending on the law to which the Securities are subject in each case, they are either
represented by a Global Security or issued in dematerialised or uncertificated book-entry form.
In the case of a Global Security governed by German law, such Global Security wil be in
bearer form.
No definitive Securities wil be issued.
If the Securities are issued under German law, they wil be bearer bonds within the meaning
of §§ 793 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, "BGB") and wil either
9

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFERING PROGRAMME
be represented by a Global Security or be issued as an electronic security in accordance with
the German Electronic Securities Act (Gesetz über elektronische Wertpapiere, "eWpG").
The Issuer can issue an electronic security by having it registered in an electronic securities
register instead of issuing a Global Security.
Pursuant to § 4(1) no. 1 in conjunction with § 12 eWpG, an electronic securities register is a
central register ("Central Register"). An electronic security that has been entered into a
Central Register is a central register security within the meaning of § 4(2) eWpG ("Central
Register Security").
A Central Register Security is issued by entering it into a Central Register kept by the Central
Register Securities registrar ("Central Register Securities Registrar"). Prior to registration,
the terms and conditions of the security are deposited as a permanent electronic document
with the Central Register Securities Registrar. The Central Register Securities Registrar is a
central securities depositary. Pursuant to § 3(1) eWpG, the central securities depositary as
holder of the electronic security is entered into the Central Register (collective registration
pursuant to § 8(1) no. 1 eWpG) and administers the collective registration on a fiduciary basis
as described in § 9(2) eWpG for the person who is the Beneficiary within the meaning of
§ 3(2) eWpG without being such a beneficiary itself. The Beneficiary within the meaning of
§ 3(2) eWpG is the person who holds the right derived from the Central Register Security
("Beneficiary within the meaning of § 3(2) eWpG"). The Beneficiaries within the meaning of
§ 3(2) eWpG are not entitled to request individual registration in the Central Register.
The Issuer reserves the right to change the form of the Securities during the term (and replace
a security represented by a Global Security with a Central Register Security and vice versa).
The changed form of securitisation, including the resulting necessary changes to the Specific
Terms of the Securities, shal be published as set out in §16 of the General Conditions of the
Securities.
If the Securities are issued as Central Register Securities and the Securities Note refers to the
Securityholder or the Holder of Securities, this actually means the Beneficiary within the
meaning of § 3(2) eWpG.
Status of the Securities
In case of Securities the ranking of which is specified in the Specific Terms of the Securities
as preferred, such Securities other than Securities that are secured by a segregated pool of
collateral assets constitute unsecured and unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer
ranking pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other unsecured and
unsubordinated preferred liabilities of the Issuer, subject, however, to statutory priorities
conferred to certain unsecured and unsubordinated preferred liabilities in the event of
Resolution Measures imposed on the Issuer or in the event of the dissolution, liquidation,
Insolvency, composition or other proceedings for the avoidance of Insolvency of, or against,
the Issuer.
In accordance with § 46f(5) of the German Banking Act (Kreditwesengesetz, "KWG"), the
obligations under such Securities rank in priority of those under debt instruments of the Issuer
within the meaning of § 46f(6) sentence 1 KWG (also in conjunction with § 46f(9) KWG) or any
successor provision, including eligible liabilities within the meaning of Articles 72a and 72b(2)
CRR.
In case of Securities the ranking of which is specified in the Specific Terms of the Securities
as non-preferred, such Securities constitute unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred
liabilities of the Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred liabilities of the Issuer. This is subject to
statutory priorities conferred to certain unsecured and unsubordinated non-preferred liabilities
in the event of Resolution Measures imposed on the Issuer or in the event of the dissolution,
10
