The Bank has given an undertaking to the Financial Market<br />

Stabilisation Fund (SoFFin), represented by the Financial Market<br />

Stabilisation Authority (FMSA), that neither it nor any of its<br />

affiliated companies will buy back shares or other components<br />

of its liable equity capital (except as specified under Art. 71 (1)<br />

no. 2 and no. 4 (purchase on behalf of another party), no. 7 or<br />

no. 8 of the German Companies Act/Aktiengesetz).<br />

In January 2012, Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft agreed a<br />

package of measures to strengthen the capital base, in order to<br />

meet the stricter capital requirements calculated by the<br />

European Banking Authority (EBA) which enter into force on<br />

June 30, 2012. As part of these measures we plan to pay the<br />

individual variable compensation entitlements for the 2011<br />

financial year in shares of Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft.<br />

This affects a large proportion of our non-pay-scale employees,<br />

and, depending on the extent of the employee’s participation, it<br />

could lead to an increase of around €250m in the capital base.
