Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Deutsche Bank AG is offering $3.0 million of 5.00% Fixed-Rate Callable Senior Debt Funding Notes maturing on 29 June 2029. The notes are issued at 100% of principal (minimum 99.65% for certain institutional or fee-based accounts) in minimum denominations of $1,000. Interest is paid annually in arrears each 30 June, calculated on a 30/360 basis. The bank may, at its sole discretion and subject to regulatory approval, redeem the notes at par in whole (not in part) on any semi-annual Optional Redemption Date beginning 30 June 2026 and ending 30 December 2028.

The securities are unsecured, unsubordinated senior preferred obligations intended to qualify as eligible liabilities for the EU Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL). They are not FDIC-insured and carry typical Deutsche Bank credit risk. As bail-in eligible instruments, holders explicitly consent to possible Resolution Measures under EU/ German banking law, including write-down to zero or conversion into equity should the Single Resolution Board deem the bank non-viable.

Key economics

• Issue/Settlement dates: 26 June 2025 / 30 June 2025
• Principal amount: $3,000,000
• Gross proceeds to issuer: $2,994,000 after 0.35% maximum selling concession ($3.50 per note)
• CUSIP/ISIN: 25161FJF6 / US25161FJF62
• No stock-exchange listing; book-entry only via DTC

Primary risks include issuer credit risk, discretionary early redemption, interest-rate reinvestment risk if called, and potential bail-in loss under EU resolution rules. The small size and standard terms make the issuance largely immaterial to Deutsche Bank’s capital structure, but investors should assess whether the 5% fixed coupon adequately compensates for the credit and structural risks.

Positive

• 5.00% fixed coupon offers a moderate spread over comparable 4-year USD benchmarks.
• MREL-eligible status marginally supports Deutsche Bank’s resolution buffer.
• Senior preferred ranking sits above subordinated debt, providing better recovery prospects than capital instruments.

Negative

• Issuer call option from year 1 caps potential upside and introduces reinvestment risk.
• Bail-in/Resolution Measure provisions allow write-down or conversion, elevating structural risk versus traditional senior bonds.
• Unsecured exposure to Deutsche Bank credit without FDIC or other guarantee.
• Illiquidity risk due to small $3 million issue size and no exchange listing.

Insights

Fixed Income Analyst

TL;DR: 5% coupon attractive versus USD swaps, but call option and bail-in clause limit upside.

The 5.00% coupon is roughly 170-190 bp wide of the USD 4-year swap rate (as of late-June 2025), offering reasonable spread for a senior preferred Deutsche Bank exposure. However, the issuer-friendly call commencing in 12 months reduces the yield-to-worst to par call dates, translating to a yield just above 5% if redeemed early. Because the issue is small, secondary liquidity will likely be limited. Credit-wise, Deutsche Bank’s senior preferred debt is rated Baa2/BBB/A-, so the spread is broadly in line with comps. Yet, the BRRD bail-in language means these notes rank ahead of tier-2 but can still be written down or converted, adding non-negligible tail risk. Overall, risk-adjusted return is fair but not exceptional; investors seeking higher certainty of carry may prefer non-call structures.

Bank Capital & Regulation Specialist

TL;DR: MREL-eligible issuance modestly strengthens Deutsche Bank’s loss-absorbing stack; negligible balance-sheet impact.

Because the notes qualify as eligible liabilities under EU MREL rules, they incrementally enhance Deutsche Bank’s resolution buffer with senior preferred paper that can be bailed in ahead of senior unsecured deposits. The $3 million size, however, is de-minimis relative to Deutsche Bank’s €1.3 trillion balance sheet and will not materially affect capital ratios. Regulatory call permissions underscore ongoing supervisory scrutiny. For portfolio managers, the filing signals continued optimization of the funding stack rather than a meaningful change in funding conditions.
