Performance Securities with Partial Protection

Linked to a International Index Basket

Strategic Alternatives to Indexing

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch

$· Securities Linked to a International Index Basket due on or about May 31, 2012

 

Investment Description

Performance Securities with Partial Protection Linked to a 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 15% 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 $1.50 per $10.00 Security. A negative Basket Return of less than -15% 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 105% to 115% (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 15% of their initial investment.

 

  q  

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

What are the tax consequences of the Securities?

You should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” as supplemented by the accompanying addendum. Subject to the limitations described therein, although the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities are uncertain, we believe the Securities should be treated as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on current law, under this treatment you should not be required to recognize taxable income prior to the maturity of your Securities, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, and 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. 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 and adversely from the description herein. 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 term sheet and the accompanying product supplement.

On December 7, 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the Securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments 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. holders 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 that is subject to an 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.

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.”

Neither we nor UBS Financial Services Inc. provides any advice on tax matters. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the Securities (including alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 7, 2007 notice), 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 110% 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 $11.10 per $10.00 Security, calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per $10.00 Security = $10.00 + ($10.00 x 10% x 110%) = $11.10

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 the Protection Percentage of -15%, the payment at maturity is equal to $10.00 per $10.00 Security.

 

4


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 the Protection Percentage of -15%, 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 $8.50 per $10.00 Security calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per $10.00 Security = $10.00 + [$10.00 x (-30% + 15%)] = $8.50

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. 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 15% of your initial investment if there is a decline in the Basket.

 

  ¨  

Your Investment in the Securities May Result in a Loss of up to 85% of Your Initial Investment—The Securities do not guarantee any return of your initial investment in excess of $1.50 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 15% Protection Percentage. Accordingly, you could lose up to $8.50 for each $10.00 investment that you make in the Securities.

 

  ¨  

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 one or more of the other Basket 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 one or more of the other Basket 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.

 

  ¨  

The Securities have Certain Built-in Costs—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.

 

 

¨

 

We Are One of the Companies That Make Up the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index, but We Are Not Affiliated with Any Other Company Included in the Basket Indices—We are one of the companies that make up the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index, but we are not affiliated with any of the other companies whose stock is included in the Basket Indices. As a result, we will have no ability to control the actions of such other companies, including actions that could affect the value of the stocks underlying the Basket Indices or your Securities. None of the money you pay us will go to the respective sponsors of the Basket Indices (the “Sponsors”), or any of the other companies included in the Basket Indices and none of those companies will be involved in the offering of the Securities in any way. Neither those companies nor the Sponsors will have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Securities in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of your Securities.

 

  ¨  

There May be Little or No Secondary Market for the Securities—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.

 

  ¨  

Price Prior to Maturity—In addition to the level of the Basket on any day, the market price 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.

 

6


 

  ¨  

The Securities are subject to the Issuer’s creditworthiness—An actual or anticipated downgrade in the Issuer’s credit rating will likely have an adverse effect on the market value of the Securities. The payment at maturity on the Securities is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer.

 

 

¨

 

The Basket Return will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar—The Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index, the FTSE 100 Index, the Nikkei 225® Index, the Swiss Market Index, the S&P ASX 200 Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM measure the performance of foreign stocks that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, but the returns of those indices will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates between such currencies and the U.S. dollar. Depreciation of such currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will likely have an adverse effect on the relevant Basket Index or Indices.

 

 

¨

 

Non-U.S. Securities Markets Risks—The stocks included in the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50® Index, the FTSE 100 Index, the Nikkei 225® Index, the Swiss Market Index, the S&P/ASX 200 Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets IndexSM are issued by foreign companies in foreign securities markets. These stocks may be more volatile than domestic stocks and may be subject to different political, market, economic, exchange rate, regulatory and other risks which may have a negative impact on the performance of the Securities.

 

  ¨  

The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in a Security are Unclear—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 IRS. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain, and no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the treatment described herein. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Securities, the timing and/or character of income thereon might differ materially and adversely from the description herein. As described above, on December 7, 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, such as the Securities. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these comments could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should review carefully the section of the accompanying product supplement entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” as supplemented by the accompanying addendum, and consult their tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities (including alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 7, 2007 notice), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
