FORM NOTIFICATION OF SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAMME
August 26th, 2016

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

Announcement pursuant to Art. 5 para 3 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 in
conjunction with Art. 2 para 2 and 3 of the Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 of the Commission (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 to10% 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 total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses)
of EUR 100m representing 0.34% of the share capital of the Company at April
1st, 2016, was carried out in the period between April 1st, 2016 and May
3rd, 2016.

A second tranche, which started on May 30th, 2016 with a total purchase
price (excluding incidental expenses) of EUR 250m representing 0.77 % of
the share capital of the Company at May 30th, 2016 has been carried out
until August 26th, 2016.

A third tranche with a total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses)
of  up to EUR 650m, representing at current share prices up to 1.9% of the
share capital of the company will be carried out between August 29th, 2016
and March 6th, 2017 on the basis of an irrevocable arrangement by an
independent financial service provider. The financial service provider is
obliged to carry out the purchase 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), the Delegated Regulation (EU)
2016/1052 of the Commission 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, 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. 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
