Explanatory note and exhibit
This Report on Form 6-K contains the following exhibit relating to Deutsche Bank AG’s 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which took place on Thursday, May 16, 2024. This Report on Form 6-K and such exhibit are not intended to be incorporated by reference into registration statements filed by Deutsche Bank AG under the Securities Act of 1933.
Exhibit 99.1: Voting Results for the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Bank AG.
Forward-looking statements contain risks
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include statements about our beliefs and expectations. Any statement in this report that states our intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements are based on plans, estimates and projections as they are currently available to the management of Deutsche Bank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our trading revenues, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of our strategic initiatives, the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and methods, and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Such factors are described in detail in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 14, 2024, in the section entitled “Risk Factors” on pages 11 through 41. Copies of this document are readily available upon request or can be downloaded from www.deutsche-bank.com/ir.
