We are responding to UniCredit's recent announcements

On 16 March 2026, UniCredit announced its intention to make an unsolicited public takeover bid to the shareholders of Commerzbank for the acquisition of all Commerzbank shares. Commerzbank has taken note of this announcement.

The Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board of Commerzbank will carefully examine the announced voluntary takeover bid, following its publication by UniCredit, in the best interest of Commerzbank, its shareholders, employees and customers.

However, the success of our strategy and the broad support from our stakeholders encourage us to continue to consistently implement our growth strategy. In doing so, we create value for our shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders.

"We firmly believe in the strength and potential of our strategy, which is based on independence and profitable growth. This move has not been coordinated with us. The exchange ratio expected in the announcement does in fact not include a premium for our shareholders."

Chief Executive Officer of Commerzbank
