 Rights and Shareholders' Meetings Each of the bank’s shares entitles its registered holder to one vote at Deutsche Bank’s General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting takes place within the first eight months of the fiscal year. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, Deutsche Bank may hold the meeting in Frankfurt am Main, Düsseldorf or any other German city with over 250,000 inhabitants. Unless a shorter period is permitted by law, the Group must give the notice convening the General Meeting at least 30 days before the last day on which shareholders can register their attendance of the General Meeting (which is the sixth day immediately preceding that General Meeting). Shorter periods apply if the General Meeting is called to adopt a resolution on a capital increase in the context of early intervention measures pursuant to the Act on the Recovery and Resolution of Institutions and Financial Groups ( Gesetz zur Sanierung und Abwicklung von Instituten und Finanzgruppen). The Management Board or the Supervisory Board may also call an extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 5% of the nominal value of Deutsche Bank’s share capital may also request that such a meeting be called. The bank’s Articles of Association authorize the Management Board to hold any General Meeting taking place on or before August 31, 2025 in virtual form without physical attendance of the shareholders or their authorized representatives.
