Credit Suisse cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. In addition, in the future we, and others on our behalf, may make statements that constitute forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to the following:

•	our plans, objectives or goals;

•	our future economic performance or prospects;

•	the potential effect on our future performance of certain contingencies; and

•	assumptions underlying any such statements.

Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by applicable securities laws. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that predictions, forecasts, projections and other outcomes described or implied in forward-looking statements will not be achieved. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include:

•	the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and access capital markets;

•	market and interest rate fluctuations;

•	the strength of the global economy in general and the strength of the economies of the countries in which we conduct our operations, in particular the risk of a continued US or global economic downturn in 2009 and beyond;

•	the direct and indirect impacts of continuing deterioration of subprime and other real estate markets;

•	further adverse rating actions by credit rating agencies in respect of structured credit products or other credit-related exposures or of monoline insurers;

•	the ability of counterparties to meet their obligations to us;

•	the effects of, and changes in, fiscal, monetary, trade and tax policies, and currency fluctuations;

•	political and social developments, including war, civil unrest or terrorist activity;

•	the possibility of foreign exchange controls, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets in countries in which we conduct our operations;

•	operational factors such as systems failure, human error, or the failure to implement procedures properly;

•	actions taken by regulators with respect to our business and practices in one or more of the countries in which we conduct our operations;

•	the effects of changes in laws, regulations or accounting policies or practices;

•	competition in geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations;

•	the ability to retain and recruit qualified personnel;

•	the ability to maintain our reputation and promote our brand;

•	the ability to increase market share and control expenses;

•	technological changes;

•	the timely development and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users;

•	acquisitions, including the ability to integrate acquired businesses successfully, and divestitures, including the ability to sell non-core assets;

•	the adverse resolution of litigation and other contingencies;

•	the ability to achieve our cost efficiency goals and other cost targets; and

•	our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events, as well as the information set forth in our Form 20-F Item 3 – Key Information – Risk Factors.

Deutsche Bank AG Forward-Looking Statements:

This release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our trading revenues, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our management agenda, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of 24 March 2009 under the heading “Risk Factors.” Copies of this document are readily available upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/ir.
