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

investigation as it deems necessary to determine its interest in participating in any transaction. No reliance should be placed upon these materials in connection with any actual mandate or transaction.
Any decision as to whether or not to enter into any transaction should be taken solely by the Recipient.
These materials have been provided on the basis that the Recipient and its representatives, directors, officers, employees and advisers keep these materials (and any other information that may be
provided to the Recipient) confidential. These materials (and such other information) may not be disclosed, summarised or otherwise reproduced, distributed or referred to, in whole or in part, without
the prior written consent of DB, provided, however, that the Recipient may disclose these materials on a confidential and non-reliance basis to (i) its legal advisers and (ii) as required by applicable law
or regulation. The information used in preparing these materials was obtained from the Recipient or its representatives or from public sources (or has been used with the express or implied consent of
the Recipient). DB and its affiliates assume no responsibility for the independent verification of any such information and have relied on it being complete and accurate in all material respects. Neither

Any statement or opinion contained herein regarding the investment case, positioning and valuation of the Recipient or any other person is not, and should not be construed as, an indication that DB
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.
