   Commerzbank completes share buyback of around €1bn
    

     • A total of 30,972,690 shares repurchased (2.75% of share capital)
     • CEO Bettina Orlopp: “The completion of this share buyback underscores
       the strength of our ‘Momentum’ strategy and is a significant step in
       the implementation of our capital return for the 2025 financial year.”
        

   Commerzbank AG successfully completed its fifth share buyback on
   Wednesday, 17 December 2025. With a volume of around €1bn, it was the
   largest buyback in the history of the Bank. Commerzbank started the
   buyback on 25 September 2025, and has since repurchased a total of
   30,972,690 of its own shares (ISIN DE000CBK1001) at an average price of
   around €32.28 per share. This corresponds to a share of 2.75% of the
   Bank’s share capital.
    

   “The completion of this share buyback underscores the strength of our
   ‘Momentum’ strategy and is a significant step in the implementation of our
   capital return for the 2025 financial year,” said Bettina Orlopp, CEO of
   Commerzbank. “As a result of the increased profitability in our strong,
   customer-oriented business model, we plan to return 100% of the net result
   before restructuring expenses and after deduction of AT 1 coupon
   payments.”
    

   The capital return for the 2025 financial year is planned to consist of
   share buybacks as well as a dividend payment.
    

   “Our clear and attractive capital return policy will be reliably continued
   in the years to come,” said CFO Carsten Schmitt. “Our goal remains to
   sustainably create value for our shareholders.”
