Notice to Security Holders

30 Sep 2015 16:50

We hereby refer to the ETC Securities issued pursuant to the Issuer’s Secured ETC Precious Metal Linked Programme.

Capitalised terms used herein but not otherwise defined will have the meanings given to them in the terms and conditions of the ETC Securities (the “Conditions”).

The Issuer hereby gives notice that in exercise of its discretion under Condition 18, it has decided to suspend the issuance of further Securities with effect from 30 September 2015. As a result, on or about 1 October 2015 the ETC Securities will no longer trade on XETRA but will instead trade on the Parketthandel (Specialist Model) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Deutsche Bank AG will continue to act as Authorised Participant for the Series but, in doing so, will only provide “bid pricing” at which investors can sell ETC Securities to it. Such “bid pricing” will be on a substantially similar basis to that presently provided by Deutsche Bank AG (but it should be noted that it is not obliged to provide such pricing and may discontinue such provision at any time). The ETC Securities will continue to be listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Notices to Securityholders are validly delivered to the Clearing System(s) for communication by the Clearing System(s) to the Securityholders.

If you are not the ultimate beneficial holder in respect of the Securities, or if you have recently disposed of the Securities, please forward this notice to the ultimate beneficial holder or purchaser, as the case may be.

Securityholders with queries relating to this notice may address them to the Arranger:
