FORM NOTIFICATION OF SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMME

May 27th, 2016

Deutsche Post AG, Bonn,  Germany
WKN: 555200
ISIN: DE0005552004


Announcement pursuant to article 4 para 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003
(as amended or replaced from time to time)

On  March 1st, 2016  the Company's Management Board, has resolved to
undertake a programme of share buybacks in a maximum amount of 60 million
shares of Deutsche Post AG for a maximum total purchase price (excluding
incidental expenses) of EUR 1bn (Buyback Programme). The purchased shares
will either be cancelled, used to service long term management incentive
programmes or to meet possible obligations under the convertible bond
2012 / 2019. The programme will be conducted via stock exchanges and
started on April 1st, 2016 and is restricted to a duration of one year.

The Buyback Programme is based on the authorization of the Annual General
Meeting of May 27th, 2014, valid until May 26th, 2019 to launch a share
buyback programme for shares in the amount of up to 10% of the Company's
share capital existing at the date the resolution on the share buyback is
adopted. The purchase price (excluding incidental transaction costs) may
not exceed the average share price prior to the effective date of the
transaction by more than 10%, and may not be fixed more than 20% below it.
The average share price is the non-volume-weighted average of the closing
prices of the Company's shares in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor
system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the last ten trading days. The
effective date is the date of the purchase.

A first tranche with a maximum total purchase price (excluding incidental
expenses) of EUR 100m, representing then 0.34 % of the share capital of the
Company, was carried out in the period between April 1st, 2016 and May 3rd,
2016.

A second tranche with a maximum total purchase price (excluding incidental
expenses) of up to EUR 300m, representing at current share price up to 0.94
% of the share capital of the Company, will be carried out between May 30th
and August 26th, 2016 on the basis of an irrevocable, non-discretionary
arrangement by an independent financial service provider. The financial
service provider is obliged to carry out the purchase in accordance with
Art. 4 to 6 of the Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003 of the Commission of
December 22nd, 2003 and Section 14 para. 2, Section 20a para. 3 of the
German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), as amended or replaced from time to
time, and, with effect from July 3rd, 2016, any purchase of Shares shall be
made in compliance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of April 16th, 2014 on market abuse (market
abuse regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC,
2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)
supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and
the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the
conditions applicable to buyback programmes and stabilisation measures
(current text version was released by the European Commission on 8 March
2016 under document number C(2016) 1357 final), and in accordance with the
authorization of the Annual General Meeting mentioned above.

Moreover, in addition to the afore mentioned, the Buyback Programme will be
carried out as follows:

             1. The shares will be purchased at market price in accordance
                with the aforementioned regulations, as applicable at the
                time of the purchase. The shares will not be bought back at
                higher price than the highest price of the last independent
                trade and the highest current independent bid in the
                trading venues where the purchase is made.

             2. With regard to trading volume, the Company will not
                purchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its
                shares in the regulated market in which the purchase takes
                place; a limit that will apply to the entire buyback
                program. The daily average volume will be based on the
                average daily trading volume in the month before disclosure
                of this share buyback programme
