Deutsche Bank AG (ETR:DBK) will commence its share repurchase program of up to €1.0 billion on February 26, 2026.

Upon completion of this program and shareholder acceptance of management’s proposed dividend for 2025 of € 1.00 per share the bank will have returned around € 2.9 billion in capital to its shareholders this year in respect of financial year 2025.

Cumulative capital distributions in respect of the financial years 2021-2025, paid or payable in 2022-2026, would thereby reach € 8.5 billion, surpassing the bank’s original goal of € 8 billion.
