“The Supervisory Board and Management Board are very much looking forward to

a direct and open exchange with our shareholders. By holding an in-person event,

we are accommodating wishes of shareholders,” said Alexander Wynaendts,

Chairman of the Supervisory Board. “We believe that alternating on a regular basis

between in-person and virtual formats, which we have now initiated, is for a good

way of combining the advantages of both options.”

As announced in January 2026, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board

propose a dividend of € 1.00 per share (approximately € 1.9 billion in total) for

2025. This would represent an increase of around 50% compared to € 0.68 per

share paid

in respect of 2024. Together with the share buyback launched in February 2026

with a volume of € 1.0 billion, which is now underway, this increases the

cumulative capital distributions in respect of the financial years 2021-2025 to €

8.5 billion, thereby exceeding the Bank's original target of € 8.0 billion for this

period.

Supervisory Board elections

Alexander Wynaendts' term of office is set to expire with the conclusion of the

Annual General Meeting on May 28, 2026. As announced in November, the

Supervisory Board has nominated Wynaendts for another four-year term. It is

intended that Alexander Wynaendts will be re-elected Chairman of the

Supervisory Board following his election by the Annual General Meeting. Yngve

Slyngstad's term of office also expires at the 2026 AGM; he is also proposed for re-

election.

Frank Witter has informed the Bank that he will resign from his Supervisory Board

mandate for personal reasons at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on

May 28, 2026. To fill the vacancy, Carsten Knobel, Chief Executive Officer of

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, will be proposed for election to the Supervisory Board at

the AGM.

“I am delighted that Carsten Knobel will be a candidate for our Supervisory Board.

He brings extensive experience and is a highly respected representative of a

globally oriented German industrial and consumer goods company,” said

Wynaendts. “At the same time, I look forward to continuing the good and trusting

cooperation with Yngve Slyngstad.”

“I would also like to thank Frank Witter for his significant contribution over the past

years. With his commitment and expertise as Chairman of the Audit Committee, he

supported the bank during an important phase and contributed greatly to its

success," Wynaendts added.

Adjustment of Supervisory Board Compensation

The Supervisory Board and Management Board believe that the current

compensation for the Supervisory Board is no longer competitive in attracting and

retaining highly qualified Supervisory Board members. Given the demanding and

multifaceted requirements, and the particularly complex regulatory environment

that also impacts on the Supervisory Board's work, the members' compensation

should therefore be adjusted. The fixed annual basic compensation for Supervisory

Board members will be increased from € 300,000 to € 350,000, for the deputy

Chairman of the Supervisory Board from € 475,000 to € 550,000, and for the

Chairman of the Supervisory Board from € 950,000 to € 1,150,000. Furthermore,

the person chairing a Supervisory Board committee will generally receive

additional remuneration in the future, and previous exemptions for this will no

longer apply.

The full agenda is published at hauptversammlung.db.com.

Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United

States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our revenues and in which we

hold a substantial portion of our assets, the development of asset prices and market volatility,

potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our strategic

initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks

referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
