Form notification of share repurchase programme
May 8th, 2024

Deutsche Post AG, Bonn, Germany
WKN: 555200
ISIN: DE0005552004

Announcement pursuant to Art. 5 para 1 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 in
conjunction with Art. 2 para 1 of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of
the Commission (as amended or replaced from time to time)

In February 2022 the Company's Management Board had initially resolved to
undertake a programme of share buybacks (Buyback Programme) of Deutsche Post
AG for up to 50 million shares at a total purchase price of up to EUR2
billion. On February 14th, 2023, the Board of Management of Deutsche Post AG
resolved to increase the number of shares to be repurchased to up to 105
million shares and the total purchase price to up to EUR3 billion. On February
12th, 2024, the Board of Management of Deutsche Post AG resolved to increase
the number of shares to be repurchased to up to 130 million shares and the
total purchase price to up to EUR4 billion.

The repurchased shares will either be retired, used to service long-term
executive remuneration and possible future employee share offerings or to
meet possible obligations under the convertible bond 2017/2025.

The repurchase via the stock exchange has started on April 8th, 2022, and
will end in December 2025 the latest. The Buyback Programme for the first
two tranches were based on the authorization of the Annual General Meeting
of May 6th, 2021. A third and fourth tranche was implemented based on the
authorization granted by the Company's Annual General Meeting on May 4th,
2023.

Based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 4th,
2023, shares in the amount of up to 10% of the Company's share capital
existing at the date the resolution on the share buyback is adopted may be
acquired. The purchase price may not exceed the average share price prior to
the effective date of the transaction by more than 10% and may not be fixed
more than 20% below it. The average share price is the non-volume-weighted
average of the closing prices of the Company's shares in XETRA trading (or a
comparable successor system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the last
five trading days. The effective date is the date of the purchase or, if
earlier, the date on which a commitment to purchase is entered.

Until now four tranches with a total volume of around EUR2.4 billion,
corresponding to circa 4.9% of the share capital of the Company, were each
time carried out based on an irrevocable arrangement by an independent
financial service provider:

The first tranche with a total maximum volume of up to EUR500 million,
representing up to 1% of the share capital of the Company at the share price
at the start of the first tranche, was carried out between April 8th, 2022,
and end date no later than November 7th, 2022.

The total volume of up to EUR500 million of this first tranche was increased
by EUR300 million to up to EUR800 million as of June 29th, 2022, leaving the end
date no later than November 7th, 2022, unchanged. The increase of EUR300
million corresponded at the then current share price to 0.7% of the share
capital. This first tranche was terminated on October 3rd, 2022, shares to
the total volume of around EUR789.5 million were repurchased.

The second tranche with a total volume of up to EUR500 million, this
corresponded to circa 1.1% of the share capital at the then current share
price was executed between November 9th, 2022, and March 31st, 2023.
Altogether, shares to the total amount of around EUR500 million were
repurchased.

The third tranche with a total volume of up to EUR500 million, this
corresponded to circa 0.9% of the share capital at the then current share
price was carried out between June 26th, 2023, and September 29th, 2023.
Altogether, shares to the total amount of around EUR500 million were
repurchased.

A fourth tranche with a total volume of up to EUR 600 million, this
corresponded to circa 1.2% of the share capital at the then current share
price, was carried out between November 13th, 2023, and March 6th, 2024.
Altogether, shares to the total amount of around EUR600 million were
repurchased.

A fifth tranche with a total volume of up to EUR600 million, this corresponds
to circa 1.3% of the share capital at the current share price, will be
executed between May 9th, 2024, and December 30th, 2024, based on an
irrevocable arrangement by an independent financial service provider.

The financial service provider is obliged to carry out the purchase in
compliance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament
and of the Council of April 16th, 2014 on market abuse (market abuse
regulation), the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 of the Commission
supplementing Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and
the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions
applicable to buyback programmes and stabilization measures, and in
accordance with the authorization of the Annual General Meeting mentioned
above.

Moreover, in addition to the aforementioned, the Buyback Programme will be
carried out as follows:

1. The shares will be purchased at market price in accordance with the
aforementioned regulations. The shares will not be bought back at higher
price than the highest price of the last independent trade and the highest
current independent bid in the trading venues where the purchase is made.

2. With regard to trading volume, the Company will not purchase more than
25% of the average daily volume of its shares in the regulated market in
which the purchase takes place; a limit that will apply to the entire
Buyback Programme. The daily average volume of the shares will be based on
the average of the previous 20 daily trading volumes.
