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 />

than 6,000 banking relationships worldwide.<br />

Commerzbank is well positioned in Central and<br />

Eastern Europe, serving more than 4 million<br />

customers in the region. In Poland the bank<br />

holds a 70% stake in BRE <strong>Bank</strong>, Poland’s thirdlargest<br />

financial institution. In Ukraine it is the<br />

majority shareholder of <strong>Bank</strong> Forum – a universal<br />

bank with a nationwide network. Currently<br />

Commerzbank operates in more than ten countries<br />

in the region.
