1Index history is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual PowerShares DB Agriculture ETN performance. PowerShares DB Agriculture ETN hypothetical historical performance is based on a combination of the monthly returns from the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Agriculture Excess Return™ (the "Agriculture Index") plus the monthly returns from the DB 3-Month T-Bill Index (the "T-Bill Index"), resetting monthly as per the repurchase value formula applied to the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs less the investor fee. The Agriculture Index is intended to reflect changes in the market value of certain agriculture futures contracts on corn, wheat, soybeans and sugar. The T-Bill Index is intended to approximate the returns from investing in 3-month United States Treasury Bills on a rolling basis.

Index history does not reflect any transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and you cannot invest directly in an index. PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.

2The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are not rated but rely on the ratings of their issuer, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. Credit ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, which may have an adverse effect on the marketability or market price of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs.

An investment in the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs involves risks, including possible loss of principal. For a description of the main risks, see "Risk Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement.Not FDIC Insured - No Bank Guarantee - May Lose Value.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are senior unsecured obligations of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. The rating of Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch does not address, enhance or affect the performance of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs other than Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch's ability to meet its obligations. The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection.Risks of investing in the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs include limited portfolio diversification, uncertain principal repayment, trade price fluctuations, illiquidity and leveraged losses. Investing in the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs is not equivalent to a direct investment in the index or index components. The investor fee will reduce the amount of your return at maturity or upon redemption of your PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs even if the value of the relevant index has increased. If at any time the redemption value of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs is zero, your investment will expire worthless.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are concentrated in agriculture commodity futures contracts. The market value of the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including, among other things, volatile agriculture prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental actions. The PowerShares DB Agriculture ETNs are concentrated in a single commodity sector, are speculative and generally will exhibit higher volatility than commodity products linked to more than one commodity sector.

The PowerShares DB Agriculture Double Long ETN and PowerShares DB Agriculture Double Short ETN are both leveraged investments. As such, they are likely to be more volatile than an unleveraged investment. There is also a greater risk of loss of principal associated with a leveraged investment than with an unleveraged investment.
