Responsibility Statement Deutsche Postbank AG, with its registered offices at Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 114-126, 53113 Bonn, Germany, is solely responsible for the information given in this Second Supplement. The Issuer hereby declares that, having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case, the information contained in this Second Supplement for which it is responsible, is, to the best of its knowledge, in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect its import. II. AMENDMENTS TO PROSPECTUS The Prospectus is supplemented as follows: As per 31 December 2012 Mario Daberkow (IT/Operations), Horst Küpker (Financial Markets) and Dr. Michael Meyer (Retail) resigned from their office as member of the Management Board of Deutsche Postbank AG. As per 1 January 2013 Susanne Klöß (Product) and Ralph Müller (Chief Operating Officer) have been appointed by the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Postbank AG as General Manager (Generalbevollmächtigte) of Deutsche Postbank AG. As per 1 January 2013 Deutsche Postbank AG has terminated its rating by the Standard & Poors’s rating agency. In view of its integration with the Deutsche Bank Group, three ratings are no longer necessary for Deutsche Postbank AG. For this reason, the bank has decided not to renew the Standard & Poors’s bank rating agreement when it expires at the end of the year 2012. Accordingly, the Prospectus is hereby amended as follows: 1. Amendments to the section "RISK FACTORS" • The paragraph under the heading "Postbank Group is exposed to risks of a possible decline in its ratings" on p. 39 of the Prospectus is hereby amended as follows: "Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch") and Moody’s Investors Service ("Moody’s") have rated Postbank’s shortterm and long-term liabilities as well as its Pfandbriefe, securitizations and its financial strength. Depending on its ratings, Postbank's access to the capital markets may be limited and refinancing on the capital markets may be more expensive. Actual or anticipated downgrading of Postbank's ratings, caused by a deterioration of its financial condition or results of operations or other factors, may trigger an obligation to provide collateral for certain derivatives and secured refinancing transactions, and limit Postbank's ability to compete in certain long-term derivatives transactions. Ratings have a direct effect on the cost of borrowing and, accordingly, the market values of the securities issued under this Programme." -2- 2.
