Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBGn.DB / NYSE: DB) announces an any and all tender offer for trust preferred securities issued by each of Deutsche Postbank Funding Trust I & III. Further details are set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum referred to below.

Deutsche Bank is aiming to provide liquidity to current bond holders.
The tender offer encompasses the two following Euro-denominated trust preferred securities issued by Deutsche Postbank Funding Trust I & III in 2004 /2005:
 

Currency	Issuer	Maturity Date	Amount Outstanding	ISIN

Forward-looking statements

This release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. 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 the 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 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. Such factors are described in detail in our SEC Form 20-F of March 17, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors”.
