The ETNs are issued by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. The ETN holders’ option to require Deutsche Bank AG to repurchase the ETNs will not be affected by this suspension. However, Deutsche Bank AG will not be making additional issuances of these ETNs to the market effective January 1, 2016.

 

As disclosed in the related pricing supplement for each ETN, the market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among other things, the levels of supply and demand for the ETNs. It is possible that the suspension, as described above, may materially influence the market value and the liquidity of the ETNs. The limitations on issuance and sale implemented may cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the secondary market for the ETNs, which may cause the ETNs to trade at a premium or discount in relation to their intraday indicative value.

 

Investors considering any purchase of the ETNs should be aware of the fact that the trading price of the ETNs on the exchange could be significantly different from their intraday indicative value, which is meant to approximate the intrinsic economic value of the ETNs. Paying a premium purchase price over the intraday indicative value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses.
