Deutsche Bank AG Announces Pricing of Cash-Settled Equity Linked Notes Linked to the Common Stock of Voya Financial, Inc. due May 1, 2023

 

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch (the “Issuer”) today announces the pricing of its public offering of $300 million of Cash-Settled Equity Linked Notes Linked to the Common Stock of Voya Financial, Inc. due May 1, 2023 (the “Notes”).

 

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2018, and will mature on May 1, 2023. The Notes cannot be exchanged or redeemed early and will be cash-settled at maturity. The amount of cash payable on the Notes at maturity will be based on the volume-weighted average price of the common stock of Voya Financial, Inc. (“Voya”). 

 

The threshold price (the “Threshold Price”) of the Notes will be set at a 30% premium to the initial price (the “Initial Price”) of the Notes, which will equal the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices of one share of Voya common stock over the five consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, March 9, 2018. The Threshold Price and Initial Price are expected to be announced after the end of the five trading day period.

 

The Notes will be issued with a minimum purchase of $100,000 and in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof at an issue price of 100% of the face amount of the Notes. Settlement and delivery of the Notes is expected to take place on March 13, 2018.
