These materials speak only as of their date, and the views expressed are subject to change based upon a number of factors, including macroeconomic and equity market conditions, investor attitude

will provide favourable (or any) research coverage about the Recipient or such other person or publish research containing any particular rating or price target for the securities of the Recipient or such
other person. DB has adopted policies and guidelines designed to preserve the independence of any research analyst employed by DB or any of its affiliates, which prohibit any such research analyst
from being compensated for his or her involvement in investment banking transactions, and which prohibit its employees (and the employees of any of its affiliates) from offering, directly or indirectly, a
favourable research rating or specific price target, or offering to change a research rating or price target, as consideration for or an inducement to obtain business or other compensation.
These materials shall not be construed as a prospectus or an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or any business or assets, nor to enter into any agreement or contract with
the Recipient, DB (or any of its affiliates) or any other person. Any transaction will be made pursuant to separate documentation and in such case the information contained herein will be superseded
in its entirety by such documentation in final form.
In accordance with Article 24(11) of the legislation known as MiFID II, ‘when an investment service is offered together with another service or product as part of a package or as a condition for the
same agreement or package, the investment firm shall inform the client whether it is possible to buy the different components separately and shall provide for a separate evidence of the costs and
charges of each component’. In this case we are marketing more than one service as part of a package and we shall notify you of the details required by MiFID II in a separate communication.
