Further Issue of 400,000,000 European Style (Cash Settled) Index Put Warrants 2005 relating to the Hang Seng Index (Stock Code: 3799) issued by DEUTSCHE BANK AG (incorporated under the laws of Federal Republic of Germany) acting through its London Branch Deutsche Bank AG (the "Issuer") acting through its London Branch announces its intention to further issue the series of Warrants detailed below (the "New Warrants"). Call/ Exercise Index Put Amount Issue Price Expiry Date Hang Seng Index Put 10,000 Warrants HK$0.055 28th July, 2005 Trading Strike Board Lots Level Divisor 10,000 13,400 4,500 The New Warrants will, from their date of issue, be consolidated and form a single series with an existing issue of 400,000,000 European Style (Cash Settled) Index Put Warrants 2005 (Stock Code: 3799) relating to the Hang Seng Index (the "Original Warrants", together with the New Warrants, the "Warrants"). The closing price of the Original Warrants on 3rd May, 2005 was HK$0.055. The terms and conditions of the New Warrants are identical in all material respects to the terms and conditions of the Original Warrants. The Warrants are European style and may only be exercised on the Expiry Date. The Warrants are in registered form and exercisable only in the trading board lots specified above. Every 4,500 Warrants relate to one unit of the Index specified above. Every Exercise Amount will entitle the holder on exercise thereof to receive from the Issuer a payment of an amount in Hong Kong dollars calculated by the Issuer (the "Cash Settlement Amount") as follows. The Cash Settlement Amount is equal to the Strike Level less the arithmetic mean of the quotations of the Index taken at five minute intervals on the Expiry Date, rounded down to the nearest whole number, multiplied by HK$1.00, further multiplied by 10,000 and divided by the Divisor, less the Exercise Expenses (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Warrants). If, on the Expiry Date, the Cash Settlement Amount is greater than zero, the Warrants will be automatically exercised (without any notice being given by the holders of the Warrants) and the Issuer will pay to the holders the Cash Settlement Amount calculated as described above. The implied volatility, gearing, effective gearing and premium of the Warrants are detailed below. These values may not be comparable to similar information provided by other issuers of derivative warrants as each issuer may use different pricing models. Implied Volatility Gearing Effective Gearing Premium 15.86 per cent. 56.14X 18.70X 5.34 per cent. The Warrants will constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the Issuer and no other person. Investors are relying upon the creditworthiness of the Issuer and have no rights under the Warrants against the companies constituting the Index or HSI Services Limited (the "Index Compiler"). The issue of the New Warrants is conditional upon the Stock Exchange granting listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Warrants. Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Warrants. The date of commencement of dealings is expected to be 10th May, 2005.
