Commerzbank - AGM 22 May 2019

General: On 17 March 2019, Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank published that they had agreed to start discussions with an open outcome on a potential merger. However, on 25 April 2019, the Management Boards of both Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank announced that a combination would not have created sufficient benefits to offset the additional execution risks, restructuring costs and capital requirements associated with such a large-scale integration. As a result, the two banks decided to discontinue discussions.

Agenda: We have no concerns over this year's agenda.
