 2023. United States law and regulations generally require that all engagements of Deutsche Bank’s principal accountant be pre-approved by the Audit Committee of the Bank’s Supervisory Board or pursuant to policies and procedures adopted by it. The Audit Committee has designated a list of pre-approved audit, audit-related and tax services that it has authorized the Finance Chief Accounting Office to engage Deutsche Bank’s principal accountant to perform if the estimated costs are less than or equal to € 1 million. The Audit Committee has also designated a list of pre-approved audit services that it has authorized the Finance Chief Accounting Office to engage Deutsche Bank’s principal accountant to perform with estimated costs in excess of € 1 million. All engagement requests for audit, audit-related and tax services that are not on the pre-approved list of specified services must be approved by the Audit Committee. The Finance Chief Accounting Office periodically reports the engagements approved by it to the Audit Committee. In addition, to facilitate the consideration of engagement requests between its meetings, the Audit Committee has delegated approval authority to several of its members who are “independent” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Such members are required to report any approvals made by them to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. Additionally, United States law and regulations permit the pre-approval requirement to be waived with respect to engagements for non-audit services aggregating to no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues the bank paid to the principal accountant, if such engagements were not recognized by the bank at the time of engagement and were promptly brought to the attention of the bank’s Audit Committee or a designated member thereof and approved prior to the completion of the audit. In 2023 and 2024, the percentage of the total amount of revenues Deutsche Bank paid to its principal accountant for non-audit services that was subject to such a waiver was less than 5 % for each year.
