The <strong>Bank</strong> and its Shareholders 7<br />
Commerzbank is<br />
Germany’s leading bank for private and corporate<br />
customers. Following the merger of Dresdner<br />
<strong>Bank</strong> and Commerzbank in May 2009, its customers<br />
will in future have access to around 1,200<br />
branches, the largest branch network of any German<br />
private bank. Commerzbank has approximately<br />
15 million private and corporate customers<br />
worldwide, who can now enjoy a broad and<br />
attractive range of Commerzbank products and<br />
advisory services.<br />
Commerzbank is a strong and reliable partner<br />
for corporate customers, particularly export-dependent<br />
small and medium-sized firms (SMEs).<br />
It also manages major corporate customers and<br />
institutions in Europe as well as multinational<br />
enterprises. In addition, Commerzbank is a<br />
leading export financier, supporting its customers<br />
in Germany and around the world.<br />
Commerzbank AG is the parent company of a<br />
global financial services group. The group’s operating<br />
business is organised into six segments<br />
providing each other with mutually beneficial<br />
synergies: Private Customers, Mittelstandsbank<br />
(SME bank), Central & Eastern Europe, Corporates<br />
& Markets, Asset Based Finance and Portfolio<br />
Restructuring Unit.<br />
Today some 30% of German foreign trade is<br />
channelled through the new Commerzbank, the<br />
leading export financier for the German industry.<br />
The bank is directly represented in more than 50<br />
countries as well as through a network of more<br />

Eastern Europe, serving more than 4 million<br />
customers in the region. In Poland the bank<br />
