Form notification of share repurchase programme
May 8^th, 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 14^th, 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 12^th, 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 8^th, 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 6^th,
2021. A third and fourth tranche was implemented based on the authorization granted by the Company's Annual General
Meeting on May 4^th, 2023.
Based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 4^th, 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 8^th, 2022, and end date no
later than November 7^th, 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 29^th, 2022, leaving the end date no later than November 7^th, 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
3^rd, 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 9^th, 2022, and March 31^st, 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 26^th, 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 13^th, 2023, and March 6^th, 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 9^th, 2024, and December 30^th, 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 16^th, 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.
