If on any Automatic Early Redemption Valuation Date an Automatic Early Redemption Event occurs, then the Notes will be automatically redeemed in whole, but not in part, each Note being redeemed on the Automatic Early Redemption Date immediately following such Automatic Early Redemption Valuation Date at the Automatic Early Redemption Amount.

The Automatic Early Redemption Amount will be an amount calculated by the Calculation Agent equal to:

$CA \times \frac{UnderlyingValue_{AutoEarly}}{UnderlyingValue_{initial}}$

"Automatic Early Redemption Event" means that the Underlying becomes (a) in the case of a W&C Security, exercisable in accordance with its terms prior to its originally scheduled final exercise date or (b) in the case of a Preference Share, redeemable prior to its original designated final redemption date.

SECTION D - RISKS

Description of Disclosure requirement Element Element

$D.2$ Key risks specific The Notes entail an issuer risk, also referred to as debtor risk or credit risk to the Issuer for prospective investors. An issuer risk is the risk that Commerzbank becomes temporarily or permanently unable to meet its obligations to pay the redemption amount or any other payments to be made under the Notes.

Furthermore, Commerzbank is subject to various risks within its business activities. Such risks comprise in particular the following types of risks:

$\mathbf{1}$ Global financial market crisis and sovereign debt crisis

The global financial crisis and sovereign debt crisis, particularly in the eurozone, have had a significant material adverse effect on the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Group will not suffer further material adverse effects in the future, particularly in the event of a renewed escalation of the crisis. Any further escalation of the crisis within the European Monetary Union may have material adverse effects on the Group, which, under certain circumstances, may even threaten the Group's existence. The Group holds substantial volumes of sovereign debt. Impairments and revaluations of such sovereign debt to lower fair values have had material adverse effects on the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations in the past, and may have further adverse effects in the future.

$2.$ Macroeconomic environment

The macroeconomic environment prevailing over the past few years continues to negatively affect the Group's results, and the Group's heavy dependence on the economic environment, particularly in Germany, may result in further substantial negative effects in the event of a possible renewed economic downturn.

$3.$ Counterparty default risk

The Group is exposed to default risk (credit risk), including in respect of large individual commitments, large loans and commitments, concentrated in individual sectors, referred to as "cluster" risk, as well as loans to debtors that may be particularly affected by the sovereign debt crisis. The run-down of the ship finance portfolio and the Commercial Real Estate finance portfolio is exposed to considerable risks in view of the current difficult market environment and the volatility of ship prices and real estate prices and the default risk (credit risk) affected thereby, as well as the risk of substantial changes in the value of ships held as collateral, directly owned, directly owned real estate and private and commercial real estate held as collateral. The Group has a substantial number of non-performing loans in its portfolio and these defaults may not be sufficiently covered by collateral or by write-downs and provisions previously taken.

$\boldsymbol{4}$ . Market price risks

The Group is exposed to market price risks in the valuation of equities and investment fund units as well as in the form of interest rate risks, credit spread risks, currency risks, volatility and correlation risks and commodity price risks.

5. Strategic risks

There is a risk that the Group may not be able to implement its strategic agenda or may be able to do so only in part or at higher costs than planned, and that the implementation of planned measures may not lead to the achievement of the strategic objectives sought to be obtained.

6. Risks from the competitive environment

The markets in which the Group is active, particularly the German market (and, in particular, the private and corporate customer business and investment banking activities) and the Polish market, are characterised by intense competition on price and on transaction terms, which results in considerable pressure on margins.

7. Liquidity risks

The Group is dependent on the regular supply of liquidity and a marketwide or company-specific liquidity shortage can have material adverse effects on the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations. Currently, the liquidity supply of banks and other players in the financial markets is strongly dependent on expansive measures of the central banks.

8. Operational risks

The Group is exposed to a large number of operational risks including the risk that employees will take excessive risks on behalf of the Group or violate compliance-relevant regulations in connection with the conduct of business activities and thereby cause considerable losses to appear suddenly, which may also lead indirectly to an increase in regulatory capital requirements.

9. Risks from equity participations

Commerzbank is exposed to particular risks in respect of the value and management of equity investments in listed and unlisted companies. It is possible that the goodwill reported in the Group's consolidated financial statements will have to be fully or partly written down as a result of impairment tests.

10. Risks from bank-specific regulation

Ever stricter regulatory capital and liquidity standards and procedural and reporting requirements may call into question the business model of a number of the Group's activities, adversely affect the Group's competitive position, or make the raising of additional equity capital necessary. Other regulatory reforms proposed in the wake of the financial crisis, for example, requirements such as the bank levy, a possible financial transaction tax, the separation of proprietary trading from the deposittaking business, or stricter disclosure and organisational obligations may materially influence the Group's business model and competitive environment.

$11.$ Legal risks

Legal disputes may arise in connection with Commerzbank's business activities, the outcomes of which are uncertain and which entail risks for the Group. For example, claims for damages on the grounds of flawed

investment advice have led to substantial liabilities for the Group and may also lead to further substantial liabilities for the Group in the future. Payments and restoration of value claims have been asserted against Commerzbank and its subsidiaries, in some cases also in court, in connection with profit participation certificates and trust preferred securities they have issued. The outcome of such proceedings may have material adverse effects on the Group that go beyond the claims asserted in each case. Regulatory, supervisory and judicial proceedings may have a material adverse effect on the Group. Proceedings brought by regulators, supervisory authorities and prosecutors may have material adverse effects on the Group.

$D.3$ Key risks specific There are also risks associated with the Notes, including a range of market to the Notes risks, as follows:

1. the Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors - each potential investor in the Notes must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances;

2. the holder may not receive payment of the full amounts due in respect of the Notes as a result of amounts being withheld by the Issuer in order to comply with applicable law;

3. investors are exposed to the risk of changes in law or regulation affecting the value of Notes held by them;

4. investors who purchase Notes in denominations that are not an integral multiple of the specified denomination may be adversely affected if definitive Notes are subsequently required to be issued:

5. there may be no or only a limited secondary market in the Notes and this would adversely affect the value at which an investor could sell his Notes:

6. in determination of the price of Notes in the secondary market, the prices provided by the market maker may deviate from an actuarial value of the Notes and/or the price to be expected from a commercial perspective, which would have formed in a liquid market at the relevant time in which several market makers acting independently of each other provide prices;

7. the value of an investor's investment may be adversely affected by exchange rate movements where the Notes are not denominated in the investor's own currency:

8. credit ratings assigned to the Issuer may not reflect all the risks associated with an investment in the Notes;

9. If an investor holds Notes which are not denominated in the investor's home currency, he will be exposed to movements in exchange rates adversely affecting the value of his holding. In addition, the imposition of exchange controls in relation to any Notes could result in an investor not receiving payments on those Notes;

10. the investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities which may restrict certain investments;

11. there may be restricted secondary trading because of non-availability of electronic trading systems;

1. if there is no secondary market immediately before final maturity the redemption amount may change between the last trading day and the scheduled maturity date which may be to the investor's disadvantage;

2. the obligations under the Notes constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured obligations of the Issuer and, unless otherwise provided by applicable law, rank at least pari passu with all other unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer:

3. the value of the Notes could be adversely affected by a change in English law or administrative practice:

4. if the Issuer determines that the performance of its obligations under the Notes or that any arrangement to hedge its obligations under the Notes has or will become unlawful, illegal or otherwise prohibited in whole or in part as a result of compliance with any applicable present or future law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or directive of any governmental, administrative, legislative or judicial authority or power, or in the interpretation thereof, in whole or in part for any reason, the Issuer may redeem the Notes:

5. If an issue of Notes includes provisions dealing with the occurrence of an event that leads to postponement of valuation and/or calculation on a different basis, any such postponement and/or calculation on a different basis may have an adverse effect on the value of such Notes:

6. notes may be subject to automatic early redemption on the occurrence of an Automatic Early Redemption Event.

D.6 Risk warning In the event of the insolvency of the Issuer or if it is otherwise unable or unwilling to repay the Notes when repayment falls due, an investor may lose all or part of his investment in the Notes. There are also risks associated with the Notes, including a range of market risks, as follows:

1. Leveraged exposure will magnify losses when the Reference Item moves against expectations:

2. The Notes will represent an investment linked to the economic performance of the relevant Reference Item(s) and prospective investors should note that the return (if any) on their investment in such Notes will depend upon the performance of such Reference Item(s);

3. A Note will not represent a claim against any Reference Item and, in the event of any loss, a Holder will not have recourse under a Note to any Reference Item:

4. The Issuer and its Affiliates may hedge themselves against the financial risks associated with the issue of the Notes by performing hedging activities in relation to the relevant Reference Item. Such activities in relation to the Notes may influence the market price of the Reference Item;

5. There may be potential conflicts of interest within the Commerzbank Group, which may also engage in trading activities (including hedging activities) relating to the Reference Item and other instruments or derivative products based on or relating to the Reference Item of any Notes:

6. The Issuer may issue Preference Share Linked Notes where the Final Redemption Amount is determined by reference to the changes in the

value of the preference share issued by the Preference Share Issuer, and an investment in Preference Share Linked Notes will entail significant risks not associated with a conventional debt or equity security.

If, as a result of the performance of the asset or basis of reference underlying the Preference Share ("Preference Share Underlying"), the performance of the Preference Share is negative, the value of the Preference Share Linked Notes will be adversely affected.

An investment in Preference Share Linked Notes is not the same as an investment in the Preference Share and does not confer any legal or beneficial interest in the Preference Share or any Preference Share Underlying or any voting rights, right to receive dividends or other rights that a holder of the Preference Share or any Preference Share Underlying may have.
