Annual General Meeting financial
"documents relating to its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 28, 2026"
record date financial
"the dividend record date for shares trading in Germany will be June 1, 2026 and the dividend record date for shares trading in the United States will be May 29, 2026"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
ex dividend financial
"Shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange will trade “ex dividend” on the date following the date of approval"
Ex dividend describes a stock trading without the right to receive the next scheduled dividend payment; anyone who buys the share on or after the ex-dividend date will not get that upcoming payout. Investors watch the ex-dividend date because the share price typically drops by roughly the dividend amount on that day, so timing purchases and sales around it affects who gets the cash and can influence short-term price moves.
forward-looking statements financial
"This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"This document and other documents Deutsche Bank has published or may publish contain non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Forward-looking statements contain risks
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts;
they include statements about our beliefs and expectations. Any statement in this report that states our intentions, beliefs,
expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements are
based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-
looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly
any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could
therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. 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 trading revenues, 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. Such factors are described in detail in our
2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, under the heading “Risk Factors.” Copies of this document are readily
available upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/ir.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document and other documents Deutsche Bank has published or may publish contain non-GAAP financial measures.
Non-GAAP financial measures are measures of its historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that
contain adjustments that exclude or include amounts that are included or excluded, as the case may be, from the most
directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS in its financial statements. Examples of its
non-GAAP financial measures, and the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, are as follows:
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Most Directly Comparable IFRS Financial
Measure
Net interest in the key banking book segments
Net interest income
Revenues on a currency-adjusted basis
Net revenues
Costs on a currency-adjusted basis
Noninterest expenses
Net assets (adjusted)
Total assets
Tangible shareholders’ equity, Average tangible
shareholders’ equity, Tangible book value, Average
tangible book value
Total shareholders’ equity (book value)
Post-tax return on average tangible shareholders’ equity
(based on Profit (loss) attributable to Deutsche Bank
shareholders after AT1 coupon)
Post-tax return on average shareholders’ equity
Tangible book value per basic share outstanding, Book
value per basic share outstanding
Book value per share outstanding
For descriptions of these non-GAAP financial measures and the adjustments made to the most directly comparable financial
measures under IFRS, please refer to the sections “Supplementary Information (Unaudited): Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” of the non-SEC Annual Report 2025 and the SEC Annual Report 2025.
When used with respect to future periods, non-GAAP financial measures used by Deutsche Bank are also forward-looking
statements. Deutsche Bank cannot predict or quantify the levels of the most directly comparable financial measures under
IFRS that would correspond to these measures for future periods. This is because neither the magnitude of such IFRS
financial measures, nor the magnitude of the adjustments to be used to calculate the related non-GAAP financial measures
from such IFRS financial measures, can be predicted. Such adjustments, if any, will relate to specific, currently unknown,
events and in most cases can be positive or negative, so that it is not possible to predict whether, for a future period, the
non-GAAP financial measure will be greater than or less than the related IFRS financial measure.
