The Management Board of Deutsche Bank (XETRA: DBKGn.DE/NYSE: DB) today
decided upon the next phase of the Bank's strategy. This reaffirms the
Bank's commitment to remain a leading global bank based in Germany. The
Bank will reduce leverage in Corporate Banking & Securities (CB&S);
deconsolidate Postbank; invest in its transaction banking, asset and wealth
management, and retail businesses; and continue to redesign its operating
and governance models to achieve greater efficiency and a more robust
control environment. Furthermore, it will increase its investments in
digital banking and rationalize its geographic footprint.

The Supervisory Board today decided unanimously to support the proposal
submitted by the Management Board.

Details of the strategy will be announced on Monday, April 27, on an
analyst call at 8:00 a.m. CET and at a press conference in Frankfurt at
10:30 a.m. CET.

The Bank will also disclose its first quarter results on Sunday afternoon,
April 26, at approximately 15:00 CET. Management will discuss these on
Monday's analyst call.
