Performance Securities with Partial Protection

Linked to an International Index Basket

Strategic Alternatives to Indexing

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch

$· Securities Linked to an International Index Basket due on or about June 30, 2010

 

Investment Description

 

Performance Securities with Partial Protection Linked to an International Index Basket (the “Securities”) provide enhanced exposure to potential appreciation of a basket of six international equity indices as well as protection at maturity of 20% of your initial investment. Investments with partial protection of the invested amount can help reduce portfolio risk while maintaining an enhanced exposure to equities. The partial protection feature applies only at maturity. The Securities do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $2.00 per $10.00 Security. A negative Basket Return of less than -20% will result in a payment at maturity of less than $10.00 per Security.

 

Features

 

  q  

Growth Potential: The Securities provide the opportunity to receive enhanced equity returns by multiplying any positive Basket Return by the Participation Rate of 110% to 120% (the actual Participation Rate will be determined on the Trade Date). The Securities are not subject to a maximum gain.

 

  q  

Partial Protection of the Invested Amount: At maturity, investors will receive a cash payment equal to at least 20% of their initial investment.

 

  q  

Diversification: Investors can diversify in a partial protection investment linked to a Basket of six international indices.

What are the tax consequences of the Securities?

 

You should review carefully the section in the accompanying product supplement entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” The first sentence in that section under the heading “—Tax Treatment of the Securities” is restated for the purposes of this offering to read: “We believe that it is reasonable to treat the Securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes.”

Assuming this treatment is respected, your gain or loss on the Securities should be long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the Securities for more than one year. The tax consequences of an investment in the securities are uncertain, however, and if the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Securities, the timing and/or character of income on the Securities might differ materially. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the tax treatment described in this free writing prospectus and the accompanying product supplement.

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 may refer to the section in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation by Germany of Non-Resident Holders.”

Neither we nor UBS Financial Services Inc. provides any advice on tax matters. You are urged to consult your own tax adviser regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the Securities, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

 

Scenario Analysis and Examples at Maturity

 

The following scenario analysis and examples assume a Participation Rate of 115% and a range of Basket Returns. The actual Participation Rate will be set on the Trade Date.

LOGO

Example 1—The level of the Basket increases by 10% from a Basket Starting Level of 100 to a Basket Ending Level of 110. Because the Basket Ending Level of 110 is greater than the Basket Starting Level of 100, the Basket Return is positive and calculated as follows:

Basket Return = (110 - 100)/100 = 10%

Because the Basket Return is equal to 10%, the payment at maturity is equal to $11.15 per $10.00 Security, calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per $10.00 Security = $10.00 + ($10.00 x 10% x 115%) = $11.15

Example 2—The level of the Basket decreases by 10% from a Basket Starting Level of 100 to a Basket Ending Level of 90. Because the Basket Ending Level of 90 is less than the Basket Starting Level of 100, the Basket Return is negative and calculated as follows:

Basket Return = (90 - 100)/100 = -10%

Because the Basket Return is equal to -10%, and the decrease in the level of the Basket does not exceed 20%, the payment at maturity is equal to $10.00 per $10.00 Security.

Example 3—The level of the Basket decreases by 30% from a Basket Starting Level of 100 to a Basket Ending Level of 70. Because the Basket Ending Level of 70 is less than the Basket Starting Level of 100, the Basket Return is negative and calculated as follows:

Basket Return = (70 - 100)/100 = -30%

Because the Basket Return is equal to -30%, and the decrease in the level of the Basket exceeds 20%, investors will lose 1% of their initial investment for each 1% that the Basket Return exceeds the Protection Percentage, and the payment at maturity is equal to $9.00 per $10.00 Security calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per $10.00 Security = $10.00 + [$10.00 x (-30% + 20%)] = $9.00

Key Risks

 

An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement B-1. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers before you invest in the Securities.

 

  ¨  

Partial Protection of Your Initial Investment Applies Only if You Hold the Securities to Maturity—You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a discount and you will not have partial protection to the extent of 20% of your initial investment if there is a decline in the Basket.

 

  ¨  

Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss—The Securities do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $2.00 per $10.00 Security. The return on the Securities at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive or negative. Your initial investment will be exposed to any decline in the Basket Ending Level, as compared to the Basket Starting Level, beyond the 20% Protection Percentage. Accordingly, you could lose up to $8.00 for each $10.00 investment that you make in the Securities.

 

  ¨  

The Basket Indices Are Not Equally Weighted—The Securities are linked to a Basket composed of more than one index, each of which has a different weight in determining the value of the Basket, depending on the index weightings specified in this free writing prospectus. One consequence of such an unequal weighting of the Basket Indices is that the same percentage change in two of the Basket Indices may have a different effect on the Basket closing level.

 

  ¨  

Changes in the Level of the Basket Indices May Offset Each Other—The Securities are linked to a Basket composed of the Basket Indices. At a time when the level of one or more of the Basket Indices increases, the level of the other Basket Index or Indices may not increase as much or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Ending Level, increases in the level of one or more of the Basket Indices may be moderated, or offset, by lesser increases or declines in the level of the other Basket Index or Indices.

 

  ¨  

No Periodic Coupon Payments, Dividend Payments or Voting Rights—As a holder of the Securities, you will not receive periodic coupon payments, and you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of component stocks underlying the Basket Indices would have.

 

  ¨  

Certain Built-in Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities Prior to Maturity—While the payment at maturity described in this free writing prospectus is based on the full face amount of your Securities, the original issue price of the Securities includes the agents’ commission and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates would be willing to purchase Securities from you prior to maturity in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and 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.

 

  ¨  

Except as Provided Below, No Direct Exposure to Fluctuations in Foreign Exchange Rates—The value of your Securities will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the component stocks underlying the Basket Indices are based. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Securities, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your return, if any, at maturity. However, because the MSCI Emerging Markets® Index is denominated in U.S. dollars, but its component stocks are denominated in foreign currencies, you will have foreign currency exposure with respect to that Basket Index.

 

  ¨  

Lack of Liquidity—The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates intends to offer to purchase the Securities in the secondary market but is 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 your Securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Deutsche Bank AG or its affiliates is willing to buy the Securities.

 

  ¨  

Potential Conflicts—We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the Securities. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities.

 

  ¨  

We and our Affiliates and Agents May Publish Research, Express Opinions or Provide Recommendations that May Be Inconsistent with Investing in or Holding the Securities. Any Such Research, Opinions or Recommendations Could Affect the Level of the Basket to Which the Securities Are Linked or the Value of the Securities—We, our affiliates and agents publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that may be inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Securities. We, our affiliates and agents may have published research or other opinions that are inconsistent with the investment view implicit in the Securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by us, our affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. Investors should make their own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Securities and the Basket Indices to which the Securities are linked.

 

5


  ¨  

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Securities—In addition to the level of the Basket on any day, the value of the Securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: the expected volatility of the Basket Indices; the time to maturity of the Securities; the market prices and dividend rates on the component stocks underlying the Basket Indices; interest and yield rates in the market generally and in the markets of the component stocks underlying the Basket Indices; a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; the exchange rates and the volatility of the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the component stocks underlying the Basket Indices are based; supply and demand for the Securities; and our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

 

  ¨  

Uncertain Tax Treatment—Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or a court will uphold, the tax consequences described in this free writing prospectus or in the accompanying product supplement B-1.

UBS Financial Services Inc. and its affiliates, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., acting as agents for Deutsche Bank AG, will receive discounts and commissions of $0.25 per $10.00 Security. See “Underwriting” in the accompanying product supplement B-1.

We expect to deliver the Securities against payment for the Securities on or about the fourth business day following the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade their Securities on the Trade Date or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that we expect the Securities initially to settle in four business days (T+4), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
