DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT – SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
The manager and trustee have resolved to make a distribution to holders of dbx Japan securities
recorded in the register on 28 December 2012 in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2012

Details of the distribution are set out below:
*       The distribution payable to holders will be an amount in ZAR equivalent to JPY 0.24698 (two
        four point six nine eight sen) per dbx Japan security (the “JPY distribution amount”).
*       The JPY distribution amount will be converted to ZAR at the exchange rate prevailing on or
        about Tuesday, 22 January 2013, details of which will be released on SENS on or about
        Wednesday, 23 January 2013.
*       The distribution will be paid to holders on or about Friday, 25 January 2013.

Holders of dbx Japan securities who hold 100 000 or more dbx Japan securities may elect to receive
the distribution in JPY payable to their “foreign JPY cash account held at the applicable JPY clearer”.
Such election is to be conveyed to db x-trackers (Proprietary) Limited (“db x-trackers”) via the
holder’s CSDP in the required format by no later than Monday, 21 January 2013, failing which
holders will be paid the ZAR equivalent referred to above.
The JPY distribution amount (which represents a pro rata portion of the distributable income of the
portfolio) has been calculated after deduction of any foreign withholding tax payable by db x-
trackers on dividends. The JPY distribution amount of JPY 0.24698 per dbx Japan security is
calculated as follows:

*       Gross foreign dividends of JPY 0.54254 (five four point two five four sen);
*       Less: Withholding tax of JPY 0.03798 (three point seven nine eight sen);
*       Plus: Interest and equalisation of JPY 0.00004 (zero point zero zero four sen);
*       Less: Management fee of JPY 0.25762 (two five point seven six two sen).

The information set out above is published for information purposes only.

Holders should contact their tax advisers as regards to the applicable tax treatment of the JPY
distribution amount and the withholding tax.
