DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT – SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

The manager and trustee have resolved to make a distribution to holders of dbx Japan securities recorded in
the register on Friday, 30 June 2017 in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2017.

Details of the distribution are set out below:

    -     The net distribution payable to holders will be an amount in ZAR equivalent to JPY 0.48617
              (forty-eight point six one seven 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
              25 July 2017, details of which will be released on SENS on or about 26 July 2017.
    -     The distribution will be paid to holders on or about 27 July 2017.

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 15.30%. The JPY distribution
amount of JPY 0.48617 per dbx Japan security is calculated as follows:

    -         Gross foreign dividends of JPY 1.08457 (one hundred and eight point four five seven sen);
    -         Less: Foreign Withholding tax of JPY 0.16590 (sixteen point five nine zero sen);
    -         Plus: Equalisation of JPY 0.00105 (zero point one zero five sen);
    -         Less: Interest of JPY 0.00031 (zero point zero three one sen);
    -         Plus: Foreign exchange income of JPY 0.00002 (zero point zero zero two sen);
    -         Less: Management fee of JPY 0.43326 (forty-three point three two six 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.
