Deutsche Bank AG Contingent Absolute Return Autocallable Optimization Securities

Investment Description

Contingent Absolute Return Autocallable Optimization Securities (the “Securities”) are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the “Issuer”) with returns linked to the performance of the common stock or ordinary shares of a specific company described herein (each, an “Underlying”). The Securities are designed for investors who want to express a neutral or moderately bullish view on the Underlying or who believe the Underlying will not close below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date. If the Closing Price of the Underlying is greater than or equal to the Initial Price on any quarterly Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date), Deutsche Bank AG will automatically call the Securities and, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, pay you a Call Price equal to the Face Amount plus a Call Return based on the applicable Call Return Rate specified below. The Call Return increases the longer the Securities are outstanding. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will repay the Face Amount at maturity and pay a return on the Face Amount equal to the absolute value of the negative Underlying Return (the “Contingent Absolute Return”). However, if the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Contingent Absolute Return feature will not apply and you will be fully exposed to the negative Underlying Return. In this circumstance, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a cash payment at maturity that is less than the Face Amount, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. You will not receive coupon payments during the term of the Securities. Investing in the Securities is subject to significant risks, including the risk of losing your entire investment. The Contingent Absolute Return feature and any contingent repayment of your initial investment apply only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Generally, the higher the Call Return Rate on the Securities, the greater the risk of loss on such Securities. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment upon an automatic call or any repayment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer. If the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to a Resolution Measure (as described on page 2), you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

Features	Key Dates¹
q Call Return — If the Closing Price of the Underlying is greater than or equal to the Initial Price on any quarterly Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date), Deutsche Bank AG will automatically call the Securities and, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, pay you a Call Price equal to the Face Amount plus a Call Return based on the applicable Call Return Rate specified below. The Call Return increases the longer the Securities are outstanding. If the Securities are not automatically called, investors may have full downside market exposure to the price of the Underlying at maturity. q Downside Exposure with Potential Contingent Absolute Return Feature at Maturity — If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will repay the Face Amount at maturity and pay a return on the Face Amount equal to the Contingent Absolute Return. However, if Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Contingent Absolute Return feature will not apply and you will be fully exposed to the negative Underlying Return. In this circumstance, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a cash payment at maturity that is less than the Face Amount, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. The Contingent Absolute Return feature and any contingent repayment of your initial investment apply only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment upon an automatic call or any repayment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer. If the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to a Resolution Measure, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL FACE AMOUNT OF SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK SIMILAR TO THE RELEVANT UNDERLYING. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING AN OBLIGATION OF DEUTSCHE BANK AG. YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES. THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 6 OF THIS FREE WRITING PROSPECTUS AND UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 7 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT SUPPLEMENT, PAGE PS-5 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND PAGE 12 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.

The Call Return Rate, Initial Price and Trigger Price for each Security will be determined on the Trade Date. The performance of each Security will not depend on the performance of the other Security.

Deutsche Bank Securities

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 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 free writing prospectus) 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 five 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.

Resolution Measures

Under the German Recovery and Resolution Act (Sanierungs- und Abwicklungsgesetz, or “Resolution Act”), which became effective on January 1, 2015, the Securities may be subject to any Resolution Measure by our competent resolution authority if we become, or are deemed by our 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. A “Resolution Measure” may include: (i) a write down, including to zero, of any payment (or delivery obligations) on the Securities; (ii) a conversion of the Securities into ordinary shares or other instruments qualifying as core equity tier 1 capital; and/or (iii) any other resolution measure, including (but not limited to) a transfer of the Securities to another entity, an amendment of the terms and conditions of the Securities or the cancellation of the Securities. By acquiring the Securities, you will be bound by and will be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by our competent resolution authority as set forth in the accompanying prospectus dated July 31, 2015. Please read the risk factor “The Securities may become subordinated to the claims of other creditors, be written down, be converted or become subject to other Resolution Measures. You may lose some or all of your investment if any such measure becomes applicable to us” in this free writing prospectus and see the prospectus for further information.

Investment Timeline

	Trade Date:		For each Underlying, the Initial Price is observed, the Trigger Price is determined and the Call Return Rate is set.

	Quarterly (including at maturity):		The Securities will be automatically called if the Closing Price of the relevant Underlying on any Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price. If the Securities are automatically called, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date a cash payment per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities equal to the Call Price for the applicable Observation Date.

	Maturity Date:		For each Underlying, the Final Price is determined and the Underlying Return is calculated on the Final Valuation Date. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the applicable Trigger Price, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a cash payment per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities at maturity equal to: $10.00 + ($10.00 x Contingent Absolute Return) If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the applicable Trigger Price, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a cash payment per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities at maturity that is less than the Face Amount, equal to: $10.00 + ($10.00 x Underlying Return) In this circumstance, the Contingent Absolute Return feature does not apply and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in an amount proportionate to the negative Underlying Return.

Key Risks

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Underlying. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in each Security offered hereby are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Securities offered hereby.

Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss of Your Initial Investment — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that Deutsche Bank AG will not necessarily pay you the Face Amount per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities at maturity. If the Securities are not automatically called, the return on the Securities at maturity will depend on whether the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will repay the Face Amount at maturity and pay a return on the Face Amount equal to the absolute value of the negative Underlying Return. However, if the Securities are not automatically called on any quarterly Observation Date and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Contingent Absolute Return feature will not apply and you will be fully exposed to the negative Underlying Return. In this circumstance, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, Deutsche Bank AG will pay a cash payment at maturity that is less than the Face Amount, resulting in a loss of 1.00% of the Face Amount for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment at maturity.

Limited Return Potential — If the Securities are automatically called, the return of the Securities will be limited to the applicable Call Return which is based on the relevant Call Return Rate, regardless of the performance of the Underlying. Because the Call Return increases the longer the Securities are outstanding and the Securities could be automatically called as early as the first Observation Date (approximately three months after the Trade Date), the term of your investment could be cut short and your return on the Securities would then be less than if the Securities were automatically called at a later date. As a result, an investment directly in the Underlying could provide a better return than an investment in the Securities. Because Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a return equal to the Contingent Absolute Return at maturity only when the Securities are not automatically called and only if the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, your return on the Securities in this scenario is limited by the Trigger Price. You will not receive the Contingent Absolute Return and will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment if the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price. Furthermore, because the Closing Price of the Underlying at various times during the term of the Securities could be higher than on the Observation Dates and on the Final Valuation Date, you may receive a lower payment if the Securities are automatically called or at maturity, as the case may be, than you would have if you had invested directly in the Underlying.

The Contingent Absolute Return Feature and Any Contingent Repayment of Your Initial Investment Apply Only If You Hold the Securities to Maturity — If your Securities are not automatically called, you should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the Closing Price of the Underlying is greater than the Trigger Price.

Higher Call Return Rates Are Generally Associated with a Greater Risk of Loss — Greater expected volatility with respect to the Underlying reflects a higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the Final Price of such Underlying could be less than the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date. This greater expected risk will generally be reflected in a higher Call Return Rate for the Securities. However, while the Call Return Rate will be set on the Trade Date, the Underlying’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Securities. The price of the Underlying could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of your initial investment.

Reinvestment Risk — If your Securities are automatically called, the holding period over which you would receive the applicable Call Return, which is based on the relevant Call Return Rate, could be as little as approximately three 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.

No Coupon Payments — Deutsche Bank AG will not pay any coupon payments with respect to the Securities.

The Securities Are Subject to the Credit of Deutsche Bank AG — The Securities are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of 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, including any payment upon an automatic call or any repayment of the Face Amount per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities at maturity, 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 Deutsche Bank AG’s 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 or becomes subject to a Resolution Measure, you might not receive any amount(s) owed to you under the terms of the Securities and you could lose your entire investment.

The Securities May Become Subordinated to the Claims of Other Creditors, Be Written Down, Be Converted or Become Subject to Other Resolution Measures. You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any Such Measure Becomes Applicable to Us — On May 15, 2014, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union published a directive for establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (commonly referred to as the “Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive”). 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. To implement the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, Germany has adopted the Resolution Act, which became effective on January 1, 2015. The Resolution Act may result in the Securities being subject to the powers exercised by our competent resolution authority to impose a Resolution Measure on us, which may include: writing down, including to zero, any payment on the Securities; converting the Securities into ordinary shares or other instruments qualifying as core equity tier 1 capital; or applying any other resolution measure, including (but not limited to) transferring the Securities to another entity, amending the terms and conditions of the Securities or cancelling of the Securities. Furthermore, because the Securities are subject to any Resolution Measure, secondary market trading in the Securities 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. Imposition of a Resolution Measure would have to be conducted in accordance with a set order of priority and would likely occur if we become, or are deemed by our 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. We expect additional Resolution Measures to become applicable to us when the European regulation of July 15, 2014 relating to the resolution of credit institutions and certain investment firms in the framework of a Single Resolution Mechanism and a Single Resolution Fund (commonly referred to as the “SRM Regulation”) becomes effective on January 1, 2016. On May 26, 2015, the German Federal Government published a draft bill of a Resolution Mechanism Act. In addition to conforming German law to the SRM Regulation, the draft bill proposes to adjust the order of priority of obligations in the event of an insolvency proceeding. Specifically, senior unsecured debt instruments would by operation of law rank junior to all other outstanding unsecured unsubordinated obligations, but in priority to all contractually subordinated instruments. The proposed subordination would not apply if the terms of the senior unsecured debt instruments provide that (i) the repayment amount depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event, or will be settled in kind, or (ii) the interest amount depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a future event, unless it depends solely on a fixed or variable reference interest rate and will be settled in cash. The proposed order of priorities would apply to insolvency proceedings commenced on or after January 1, 2016. If the proposed subordination of senior unsecured debt instruments were enacted and were applied to the Securities, it would most likely result in a larger share of loss being allocated to the Securities in the event of an insolvency proceeding or the imposition of any Resolution Measures by the competent resolution authority. The final version of the Resolution Mechanism Act may provide for additional Resolution Measures that may become applicable to us. You may lose some or all of your investment in the Securities if a Resolution Measure becomes applicable to us.

By acquiring the Securities, you will be bound by and will be deemed to consent to the imposition of any Resolution Measure by our competent resolution authority. As a result, you would have no claim or other right against us arising out of any subordination or Resolution Measure and the imposition of any Resolution Measure will not constitute a default or an event of default under the Securities, under the senior indenture or for the purpose of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. In addition, the trustee, the paying agent and The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and any participant in DTC or other intermediary through which you hold such Securities may take any and all necessary action, or abstain from taking any action, if required, to implement the imposition of any Resolution Measure with respect to the Securities. Accordingly, you may have limited or circumscribed rights to challenge any decision of our competent resolution authority to impose any Resolution Measure. Please see the accompanying prospectus dated July 31, 2015, including the risk factors under the heading “Securities May Be Subject to Resolution Measures” on page 12 of the prospectus.

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 free writing prospectus) 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 — The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you invested directly in the Underlying. For instance, you will not participate in any potential increase in the price of the Underlying, which could be significant.

If the Price of the Underlying Changes, the Value of the Securities May Not Change in the Same Manner — The Securities may trade quite differently from the Underlying. Changes in the price of the Underlying may not result in comparable changes in the value of the Securities.

No Dividend Payments or Voting Rights — As a holder of the Securities, you will not have any voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Underlying would have.

Single Stock Risk — Each Security is linked to the equity securities of a single Underlying. The price of each Underlying can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such Underlying and its issuer (the “Underlying Issuer”), such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Underlying Issuer with the SEC.

The Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited, and the Calculation Agent May Make Adjustments in Addition to, or that Differ from those Set Forth in the Accompanying Product Supplement — The calculation agent will make adjustments to the relevant Stock Adjustment Factor, which will initially be set at 1.0, for certain corporate events affecting the Underlying. The calculation agent is not required, however, to make adjustments in response to all corporate actions, including if the Underlying Issuer or another party makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for the Underlying. If such 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 relevant Stock 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 or any other security received in a reorganization event 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 for the Underlying or any other security received in a reorganization event 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 Reference Stock” in the accompanying product supplement in order to understand the adjustments that may be made to the Securities.

There Is No Affiliation Between the Underlying Issuers and Us and We Have Not Participated in the Preparation of, or Verified, Any Disclosure by Such Underlying Issuers — We are not affiliated with the Underlying Issuers. However, we or our affiliates may currently or from time to time in the future engage in business with the Underlying Issuers, including extending loans to, making equity investments in, or providing advisory services to, such Underlying Issuers, including merger and acquisition advisory services. In the course of this business, we or our affiliates may acquire non-public information about the Underlying Issuers and we will not disclose any such information to you. Nevertheless, neither we nor our affiliates have participated in the preparation of, or verified, any information about the Underlyings and the Underlying Issuers. You, as an investor in the Securities, should make your own investigation into the Underlyings and the Underlying Issuers. None of the Underlying Issuers is involved in the Securities offered hereby in any way and none of them has any obligation of any sort with respect to your Securities. None of the Underlying Issuers has any obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any corporate actions that would require the calculation agent to adjust the relevant Stock Adjustment Factor, which may adversely affect the value of your Securities.

There Are Risks Associated with Investments in Securities Linked to the Value of Equity Securities Issued by a Non-U.S. Company — Avago Technologies Limited is incorporated outside of the U.S. There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of equity securities issued by a non-U.S. company. The price of equity securities issued by a non-U.S. company may be adversely affected by political, economic, financial and social factors that may be unique to the particular country in which the non-U.S. company is incorporated. These factors include the possibility of recent or future changes in the 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.

Past Performance of the Underlying Is No Guide to Future Performance — The actual performance of the Underlying may bear little relation to the historical closing prices of the Underlying and/or the hypothetical return examples set forth elsewhere in this free writing prospectus. We cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying or whether the performance of the Underlying will result in the return of any of your investment.

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 free writing prospectus 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 free writing prospectus) 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 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 five 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 and 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.

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. We or our affiliates intend to act as market makers for the Securities 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 sell the Securities when you wish to do so or at a price advantageous to you. Because we do not expect other dealers to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to sell 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 in the Securities. If you have to sell your Securities prior to maturity, you may not be able to do so or you may have to sell them at a substantial loss, even in cases where the price of the Underlying has increased since the Trade Date.

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 prior to maturity 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 the maturity of the Securities;

the dividend rate of the Underlying;

the real and anticipated results of operations of the Underlying Issuer;

actual or anticipated corporate reorganization events, such as mergers or takeovers, which may affect the Underlying;

interest rates and yields in the market generally;

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

supply and demand for the Securities; and

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

Trading and Other Transactions by Us, UBS AG or Our or Its Affiliates in the Equity and Equity Derivative Markets May Impair the Value of the Securities — We or our affiliates expect to hedge our exposure from the Securities by entering into equity and equity derivative transactions, such as over-the-counter options, futures or exchange-traded instruments. We, UBS AG or our or its affiliates may also engage in trading in instruments linked or related to the Underlying on a regular basis as part of our or its general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including block transactions. Such trading and hedging activities may adversely affect the price of the Underlying and, therefore, make it less likely that you will receive a positive return on your investment in the Securities. It is possible that we, UBS AG or our or its affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging and trading activities while the value of the Securities declines. We, UBS AG or our or its affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to the Underlying. To the extent that we, UBS AG or our or its affiliates serve as issuer, agent or underwriter for such securities or financial or derivative instruments, our, UBS AG’s or our or its affiliates’ interests with respect to such products may be adverse to those of the holders of the Securities. Introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner could adversely affect the price of the Underlying and 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.

Potential Deutsche Bank AG Impact on Price — Trading or transactions by Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates in the Underlying and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the Underlying may adversely affect the price of the Underlying and, therefore, the value of the Securities.

We, UBS AG or Our or Its Affiliates 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 and the Value of the Securities — We, UBS AG or our or its affiliates may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that could adversely affect the price of the Underlying and 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, UBS AG or our or its affiliates 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.

Potential Conflicts of Interest — Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates may engage in business with the applicable Underlying Issuer, which may present a conflict between Deutsche Bank AG and you, as a holder of the Securities. 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 roles, 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, all values, prices and levels required to be determined for the purposes of the Securities on any relevant date or time. The calculation agent also has some discretion about certain adjustments to the Stock Adjustment Factor and will be responsible for determining whether a market disruption event has occurred as well as, in some circumstances, the prices or levels related to the Underlying that affect whether the Securities are automatically called. Any determination by the calculation agent could adversely affect the return on the Securities.

The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities Are Uncertain — 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 Internal Revenue Service (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. 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 and adversely affected. In addition, as described below under “What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?”, 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 and adversely 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.

Scenario Analysis and Hypothetical Examples of Payment upon an Automatic Call or at Maturity

The following table and hypothetical examples below illustrate the Payment at Maturity or Call Price due upon an automatic call for a hypothetical range of performances for an Underlying. The following examples and table are hypothetical and provided for illustrative purposes only. They do not purport to be representative of every possible scenario concerning increases or decreases in the price of the relevant Underlying relative to its Initial Price. We cannot predict the Final Price or the Closing Price of any Underlying on any of the Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date). You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of any Underlying. You should consider carefully whether the Securities are suitable to your investment goals. The numbers in the examples and table below may have been rounded for ease of analysis and it has been assumed that no event affecting an Underlying has occurred during the term of the Securities that would cause the calculation agent to adjust the relevant Stock Adjustment Factor.

The following hypothetical examples and table illustrate the Payment at Maturity or Call Price due upon an automatic call per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities on a hypothetical offering of Securities based on the following assumptions*:

Term:	Approximately 1 year, subject to a quarterly automatic call
Hypothetical Initial Price*:	$100.00
Hypothetical Trigger Price*:	$70.00 (70.00% of the Hypothetical Initial Price)
Hypothetical Call Return and Call Prices*:
Observation Dates	Call Settlement Dates	Call Return*	Call Price*
December 28, 2015	December 30, 2015	2.00%	$10.20
March 28, 2016	March 30, 2016	4.00%	$10.40
June 28, 2016	June 30, 2016	6.00%	$10.60
September 30, 2016	October 6, 2016	8.00%	$10.80

Based on a hypothetical Call Return Rate of 8.00% per annum. The actual Initial Price, Trigger Price, Call Return Rate, Call Return and Call Price with respect to each Security will be set on the Trade Date.

Example 1 — The Closing Price of the Underlying on the first Observation Date is $110.00, which is greater than the Initial Price of $100.00 — the Securities are automatically called.

Because the Closing Price of the Underlying on the first Observation Date is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, the Securities are automatically called and Deutsche Bank AG will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date the Call Price of $10.20 per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, representing a 2.00% return over the approximately three months the Securities were outstanding before they were automatically called.

Example 2 — The Securities have not been automatically called prior to the Final Valuation Date and the Final Price of $120.00 is greater than the Initial Price of $100.00 — the Securities are automatically called.

Because the Securities were not previously automatically called and the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price, the Securities are automatically called and Deutsche Bank AG will pay you on the applicable Call Settlement Date (which coincides with the Maturity Date) the Call Price of $10.80 per $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, representing a 8.00% return over the approximately one-year term of the Securities.

Example 3 — The Securities have not been automatically called prior to the Final Valuation Date and the Final Price of $90.00 is greater than the Trigger Price of $70.00 — the Securities are NOT automatically called.

Because the Final Price is not greater than or equal to the Initial Price, the Securities are not automatically called on the Final Valuation Date. Because the Final Price is greater than the Trigger Price, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a Payment at Maturity reflecting the Contingent Absolute Return, calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 × Contingent Absolute Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × 10.00%) = $11.00

Example 4 — The Securities have not been automatically called prior to the Final Valuation Date and the Final Price of $60.00 is less than the Trigger Price of $70.00 — the Securities are NOT automatically called.

Because the Final Price is not greater than or equal to the Initial Price, the Securities are not automatically called on the Final Valuation Date. Because the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Contingent Absolute Return feature does not apply and your initial investment will be fully exposed to the negative Underlying Return. Accordingly, Deutsche Bank AG will pay you a Payment at Maturity calculated as follows:

$10.00 + ($10.00 × Underlying Return)
$10.00 + ($10.00 × -40.00%) = $6.00

If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, you will not receive the Contingent Absolute Return and your initial investment will be fully exposed to the negative Underlying Return. In this circumstance, for each $10.00 Face Amount of Securities, you will lose 1.00% of the Face Amount for every 1.00% decline in the Final Price as compared to the Initial Price and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. Any payment on the Securities, including any payment upon an automatic call or any repayment of your initial investment at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer and if the Issuer were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to a Resolution Measure, you could lose your entire investment.

Information about the Underlyings

What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?

In the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, which is based on prevailing market conditions, the Securities should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid financial contracts that are not debt. Generally, if this treatment is respected, (i) you should not recognize taxable income or loss prior to the taxable disposition of your Securities (including at maturity or pursuant to a call) and (ii) the gain or loss on your Securities should be short-term capital gain or loss unless you have held the Securities for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss. The IRS or a court might not agree with this treatment, however, in which case the timing and character of income or loss on your Securities could be materially and adversely affected.

Non-U.S. holders should note that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” recently promulgated Treasury regulations imposing a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments” generally will not apply to the Securities.

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. 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; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. persons should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 and adversely 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.”

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.
