     • Net result of €2.6bn achieved in the 2025 financial year – despite
       restructuring expenses
     • Net result before restructuring expenses increases to record level of
       €3bn
     • Further share buyback to start on 12 February and expected to be
       completed by 26 March 2026
     • Board of Managing Directors intends to propose significantly higher
       dividend of €1.10 per share
       (2024: €0.65) at Annual General Meeting
     • CEO Bettina Orlopp: “2025 marked an outstanding year of success for
       Commerzbank, and we are committed to sharing this achievement with our
       investors.”

   Commerzbank generated a net result of €2.63bn in the past financial year
   (2024: €2.68bn) – despite restructuring expenses for the Bank’s
   transformation – and exceeding its original growth target for 2025. Before
   restructuring expenses, net income rose by around 13% to a record level of
   €3bn.

   “2025 marked an outstanding year of success for Commerzbank, and we are
   committed to sharing this achievement with our investors,” said Bettina
   Orlopp, CEO of Commerzbank. “In total, we are returning €2.7bn in capital,
   which is even slightly more than we had committed to deliver.”

   As outlined in its “Momentum” strategy, Commerzbank will return 100% of
   the net result before restructuring expenses and after deduction of
   Additional Tier1 (AT1) coupon payments to its shareholders. In order to
   implement the capital return, the Board of Managing Directors of
   Commerzbank today decided to start a further share buyback. From
   12 February, the Bank will buy back its own shares with a volume of up to
   €540m. In addition, the Bank intends to propose to the Annual General
   Meeting on 20 May 2026 an increased dividend of €1.10 per share for the
   past financial year (2024: €0.65). Including the share buyback of around
   €1bn completed in December 2025 the capital return for the 2025 financial
   year amounts to a total of €2.7bn.

   The share buyback that has now been decided is the sixth buyback of
   Commerzbank‘s own shares since 2023. It is expected to be completed by 26
   March of this year. The Bank plans to redeem the repurchased shares at a
   later stage. Commerzbank will publish its preliminary figures for the 2025
   financial year tomorrow, Wednesday, 11 February 2026.

   Commerzbank will publish the progress of the current share buyback on its
    1 website on a weekly basis.
