Upcoming Annual Shareholders Meeting 2025 - Proposed Enhancement in Dividends for Stakeholders
Deutsche Bank AG has announced the details for its upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for May 22, 2025. The event will be held virtually this year, with the option for shareholders to submit their questions directly via live video as part of their statements.
In a significant move, the Management Board and Supervisory Board have proposed a dividend of €0.68 per share for 2024, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. This dividend is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM.
The AGM will provide shareholders with the opportunity to fully exercise their rights, including submitting statements in audio and video format live during the meeting. Comments on the items on the agenda received in text form by May 16, 2025, will be made available on the website by midnight on May 17, 2025.
Two current members, Sigmar Gabriel and Frank Witter, are proposed for re-election for a further term. Dagmar Valcárcel and Theodor Weimer, whose terms will expire at the end of the AGM, are thanked for their contributions to the Supervisory Board over the past years.
In addition to the regular business, the AGM will welcome two new members to the Supervisory Board. Klaus Moosmayer, the current Chief Ethics, Risk & Compliance Officer and a member of the Executive Committee at the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis, brings expertise in control functions at two leading global corporations. Moosmayer also holds positions with international organizations focused on good corporate governance and anti-corruption.
Kirsty Roth, Chief Operations and Technology Officer at Thomson Reuters, brings technology, data, and AI expertise to the Supervisory Board. Roth's nomination, along with Moosmayer's, contributes to further sharpening the Supervisory Board's profile.
The Annual General Meeting 2025 format allows for a physical event at regular intervals, alternating with virtual events. A physical event is already planned for 2026, barring any exceptional circumstances. The entire AGM, including the general debate and voting, will be broadcast live on the shareholder portal and the website.
The Supervisory Board's profile for requirements for Supervisory Board members has been defined, ensuring a balanced and capable board to guide Deutsche Bank forward. The AGM of Deutsche Bank will be a significant event, marking a new chapter in the bank's journey.
