FAQ's
Show content of Registration
How can I register for the Annual General Meeting?
Registration must be received by the company at the latest by 22 May 2026, 24:00 CEST, via one of the following channels:
- Electronically via the company’s shareholder portal (agm.db.com/aktionaersportal).
- In text form (postal address: Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft, c/o Computershare Operations Center, D 80249 Munich; e mail: anmeldestelle@computershare.de).
- In accordance with Section 67c (1) and (2) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), through intermediaries via the following SWIFT address: CMDHDEMMXXX; instructions according to ISO 20022; authorization via the SWIFT Relationship Management Application (RMA) required.
By which date must I hold shares of Deutsche Bank AG to be eligible to attend the Annual General Meeting 2026?
Pursuant to § 67 (2) sentence 1 Stock Corporation Act, only those who are listed in the share register as shareholders can exercise shareholders’ rights in relation to the company. Therefore, the status of the entries in the share register on the day of the General Meeting is decisive for determining the voting rights and other shareholder rights to which a shareholder who has properly registered for the General Meeting is entitled. For technical processing reasons, however, no changes to the share register will be carried out (“registration stop”) between the end of May 22, 2026 (“technical record date”), and the conclusion of the General Meeting. Therefore, the entry status in the share register on the day of the General Meeting will correspond to the status after the last change of registration on May 22, 2026. The registration stop does not mean the shares are blocked for disposal. Share acquirers whose change of registration requests are received by the company after May 22, 2026, however, cannot de facto exercise the rights to vote and other shareholder rights on the basis of these shares, unless they have obtained a power of attorney to do so or an authorization to exercise such rights. In such cases, voting rights and other shareholder rights are retained by the shareholder entered in the share register until the change of registration. All acquirers of the company’s shares who are not yet registered in the share register are therefore requested to have change of registration requests submitted in due time.
Who is entitled to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and exercise shareholder’s rights?
Shareholders who are entered in the share register and who have registered in due time with the company are entitled to participate in the General Meeting and exercise their voting rights pursuant to § 17 of the Articles of Association.
When will the invitation documents to Annual Shareholders’ Meeting be sent out?
The invitation documents are expected to be dispatched from end of April/ beginning of May 2026 onwards.
What can I do as a shareholder if I have not received an invitation?
Please contact our shareholder services team. You can reach them during business hours (Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00) by calling +49 89 30903 6368 or by e‑mail at db.aktionaersportal@computershare.de.

I do not hold any share of Deutsche Bank AG. Can I still obtain a guest pass?

How can I use the Shareholder Portal?
General information and documents regarding the Annual General Meeting can be found on our website at agm.db.com. You have the possibility to make use of our access-protected Shareholder Portal at agm.db.com/aktionaersportal in particular for registration, admission ticket order, exercise of voting rights and authorization of third parties. The access data required to use the Shareholder Portal will be sent to you together with the invitation to the Annual General Meeting 2026.
I registered already last year for the Internet Service. Can I continue to use my access data from the previous year unchanged?
Yes. You can continue to use your access data and the password you selected without any changes. If you no longer remember the password you used last year, you request a new password via the link provided in the email invitation.
How do I change the access password to the shareholder portal selected by myself?
If you have any questions regarding the technical use of the shareholder portal, please contact the Shareholder Portal Service on weekdays from 09:00 to 17:00 at 0800 1004 798 (national) or +49 89 30903 6368 (international). Alternatively, you can reach the service by email at db.aktionaersportal@computershare.de.
The website of the annual general meeting and the document structure look different this year. What exactly has changed, and where can I find the relevant information?
To enhance the user-friendliness and informational value of the website, we have presented the documents made available online in a clearer and more structured way. All necessary documents and information remain accessible at agm.db.com.
Which services are provided in the shareholder portal during the annual general meeting? Does it provide a livestream of the entire session?
The services provided via the Shareholder Portal include, among others, the ability to register for the Annual General Meeting, exercise voting rights, and grant proxies. In addition, the Shareholder Portal will provide a live broadcast of the entire Annual General Meeting on 28 May 2026 from 10:00 a.m. CEST, including both audio and video. A publicly accessible recording of the Annual General Meeting will not be made available afterwards.
Can I no longer issue voting instructions in paper form?
Paper-based voting instructions will continue to be accepted; however, no pre‑printed form will be sent out anymore. This change is driven by the significant decline in paper-based submissions in recent years, as well as increasing postal delivery risks, which often result in a substantial portion of written instructions arriving only after the Annual General Meeting and therefore not being considered. The stronger shift toward digital processes reduces the environmental footprint while ensuring that shareholders’ rights can be exercised in a timely and reliable manner. The relevant registration form is still available for a download at agm.db.com.
Where can I find the agenda for the Annual General Meeting?
The agenda can be found in the convening notice. In addition, we will make the agenda available on our website at agm.db.com.
When registering in the shareholder portal, am I required to consent to electronic communication?
Shareholders who have not yet registered for electronic delivery and who use the shareholder portal will be asked to consent to “electronic communication” after logging in. This includes receiving future invitations to the Deutsche Bank Annual General Meeting, as well as other documents and confirmations from the Shareholder Portal, by electronic delivery. In this context, shareholders are guided through a dialog window in which they are asked to provide their email address and select from various electronic communication options. By sending the Annual General Meeting invitation to our shareholders via email, we aim to further contribute to environmental protection. Of course, the Shareholder Portal can also be used without providing consent to electronic delivery, and any consent given can be revoked at any time.

I would like to submit a statement. Will it be published in advance, and what deadlines and formal requirements do I need to adhere to?
Further details and important information on the submission of statements can be found in the agenda.
How does the in‑person Annual General Meeting differ from the virtual annual general meetings of previous years, and what should I be aware of?
Please note that this year’s Annual General Meeting will be held in person. Important information regarding travel can be found on this website in section “Annual Reports & additional information”. The statutory speaking time and time for putting questions during the General Meeting can only be availed of with attendance in person by the shareholder or his authorized representative at the General Meeting. Requests for information are to be put forward at the General Meeting verbally.
Will there be catering offered during the annual general meeting?
We will provide a selection of food and beverages on the day of the Annual General Meeting.
Why is the annual general meeting being held in person this year?
To accommodate the wishes of some shareholders and to facilitate in‑person dialogue, the Management Board intends to hold the Annual General Meeting in physical format at regular intervals, which should not exceed four years. The Company is also committed to developing innovations to further enhance the format with the aim of ensuring the broadest possible shareholder participation.
What type of annual general meeting (in-person, hybrid, online) are you planning for the upcoming year?
The Management Board and Supervisory Board intend to hold the Annual General Meeting in physical format at regular intervals, which should not exceed four years. Following the planned in‑person meeting in 2026, the next physical Annual General Meeting would therefore be held no later than in 2030. The Management Board will decide on the format of the Annual General Meeting next year in due time taking into account all the relevant aspects.
What opportunities do shareholders have to engage in dialogues with the IR team outside the annual general meeting? Are there regular formats for feedback or investor interactions?
We maintain regular dialogue with our investors through various channels and formats. In addition to the possibility of contacting us by telephone or email, we also proactively offer opportunities for interaction. This includes, for example, investor calls held immediately after the publication of our quarterly results, as well as our participation in conferences. These engagements often take place together with representatives of the Bank’s Management Board.

How did the share price perform in fiscal year 2025 and compared with competitors?
The Deutsche Bank AG share performed very strongly in the fiscal year 2025, nearly doubling over the course of the year, reflecting the bank’s robust operational performance and record results. The share price benefited in particular from the Return on Tangible Equity (RoTE) exceeding 10%, the improved profitability, and the enhanced capital return policy.
What was the price-to-book ratio at the end of fiscal year 2025?
The price-to-book ratio amounted to 0.959 as of 31 December 2025.
What will the dividend be for fiscal year 2025?
Information on dividend payments can be found here.
When will the dividend for fiscal year 2025 be paid out? When will the share be traded ex dividend?
Dividend payments are proposed by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board on the basis of the annual financial statements for the preceding financial year and are approved by the Annual General Meeting. Payment is generally made after the resolution of the Annual General Meeting. As communicated with our preliminary results for the 2025 financial year in January 2026 and as can be seen in the resolution proposal for Agenda Item 2, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose a dividend of €1.00 per share eligible for the payment of a dividend. Pursuant to § 58 (4) sentence 2 Stock Corporation Act, the claim to payment of the dividend is due on the third business day following the resolution of the General Meeting, i.e., on June 2, 2026.
Who can I contact for questions on the dividend payment? Who can I contact regarding the tax treatment of the dividend payment, also if I am based outside Germany?
Please contact the bank or custodian institution where your shares are held.
What is the size of the share buyback program? When will the program begin and how long will it last?
On 26 February 2026, Deutsche Bank launched a share buyback program with a volume of up to €1.0 billion. Latest information can be found here. Upon completion of this program and shareholder acceptance of management’s proposed dividend for 2025 of €1.00 per share the bank will have returned around €2.9 billion in capital to its shareholders this year in respect of financial year 2025. Cumulative capital distributions in respect to the financial years 2021-2025, paid or payable in 2022-2026, would thereby reach €8.5 billion, surpassing the bank’s original goal of €8 billion.
How many shareholders does the bank have?
The number of shareholders amounted to about 519k at year-end 2025. You can find information on the shareholder structure here.
Who are bank’s major shareholders?
An overview of Deutsche Bank AG’s major shareholders in accordance with Section 33 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) can be found here.
