     • Shareholders approve dividend of €1.10 per share and authorisation for
       further share buybacks
     • Actions of Board of Managing Directors and Supervisory Board ratified
       by Annual General Meeting

   Today, the Annual General Meeting of Commerzbank approved all items on the
   agenda by a large majority. Shareholders paid tribute to the achievements
   delivered and clearly reaffirmed their support for the “Momentum 2030”
   strategy and the Bank’s stand-alone course. They approved the dividend
   proposal for the 2025 financial year of €1.10 per share (2024: €0.65) with
   a majority of 99.88% (agenda item 2). In total, the dividend payment
   amounts to around €1.2bn.

   Together with two share buybacks already completed with a total volume of
   around €1.5bn, Commerzbank will return a total of around €2.7bn to its
   shareholders for the 2025 financial year. This corresponds to 100% of the
   net result before restructuring expenses and after deduction of AT 1
   coupon payments.

   For the coming years, the Bank plans to continuously increase the capital
   return. Commerzbank continues to rely on a combination of dividend
   payments and share buybacks, with the share of the dividend to grow to at
   least 50%. The share buybacks are subject to approval by the European
   Central Bank and the Finance Agency.

   The Annual General Meeting approved the necessary authorisations to
   acquire and use its own shares (agenda items 7 and 8) – with majorities of
   96.25% and of 97.79%, respectively. This means that Commerzbank has once
   again the opportunity to acquire its own shares up to a volume of 10% of
   the share capital via the stock exchange or through multilateral trading
   systems.

   The shareholders voted on the other key items on the agenda as follows:

   Ratification of the Board of Managing Directors and Supervisory Board
   (agenda items 3 and 4)

   The actions by the members of the Board of Managing Directors were
   ratified by the Annual General Meeting with a majority between 99.58% and
   99.64%. The actions by the members of the Supervisory Board were ratified
   with a majority between 98.36% and 99.64%.

   Remuneration report for the members of the Board of Managing Directors and
   Supervisory Board (agenda item 6)

   The Annual General Meeting approved the remuneration report for the 2025
   financial year with a majority of 91.28%.
