Deutsche Bank 04 – Corporate Governance Statement/Corporate Governance Report 390
Financial Report 2010 Compliance with the German Corporate Governance Code
Statement on the Suggestions of the German Corporate Governance Code
Deutsche Bank voluntarily complies with the suggestions of the Code in the version dated May 26, 2010 with
the following exceptions:
— The representatives appointed by Deutsche Bank to exercise shareholders’ voting rights can be reached by
those attending the General Meeting until just before voting commences. The representatives are reachable
by those not attending until 12 noon on the day of the General Meeting using the instruction tool in the Internet
(Code No. 2.3.3). In this manner, the risk of any technical disruptions directly before voting takes place
can basically be excluded. The broadcast through the Internet also ends at the latest at this time, which
means information useful for non-participants in forming an opinion can no longer be expected thereafter.
— Our broadcast of the General Meeting through the Internet (Code No. 2.3.4) covers the opening of the General
Meeting by the Chairman and the report of the Management Board. The shareholders are thus free to hold
their discussions with management unencumbered by a public broadcast to a wide audience.
