DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT – SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

The manager and trustee have resolved to make a distribution to holders of dbx Japan securities recorded in
the register on Thursday, 31 December 2015 in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2015.

Details of the distribution are set out below:

    -         The net distribution payable to holders will be an amount in ZAR equivalent to JPY 0.30329 (thirty
              point three two nine sen) per Japan security (the “JPY distribution amount”).
    -         The JPY distribution amount will be converted to ZAR at the exchange rate prevailing on or about
              22 January 2016, details of which will be released on SENS on or about 26 January 2016.
    -         The distribution will be paid to holders on or about 29 January 2016.

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.
Foreign withholding tax as a percentage of gross foreign dividends is equal to 15.33%. The JPY distribution
amount of JPY 0.30329 per dbx Japan security is calculated as follows:

    -         Gross foreign dividends of JPY 0.84058 (eighty four point zero five eight sen);
    -         Less: Foreign Withholding tax of JPY 0.12886 (twelve point eight eight six sen);
    -         Less: Equalisation of JPY 0.00216 (zero point two one six sen);
    -         Plus: Interest of JPY 0.00005 (zero point zero zero five sen);
    -         Less: Foreign exchange income of JPY 0.00002 (zero point zero zero two sen);
    -         Less: Management fee of JPY 0.40630 (fourty point six three sen).

All income derived is foreign in nature and does not include any manufactured dividends.

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

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