The popular Deutsche Bank AG (02418.HK) opts for the minimum specified public shareholding requirement instead of a threshold.

The Zhitong Finance APP News, Deutsche Bank (02418.HK) announced that the company repurchased the H shares on the following day disclosure report on May 19, 2026. As of May 19, 2026, before the publication of this announcement, the company has repurchased 13.5465 million H shares of the company on the open market as treasury shares. Since the repurchased H shares will no longer be considered held by the public in accordance with the listing rules, the company has chosen an alternative threshold to comply with the minimum public shareholding requirements under listing rule 19A.28B. The board of directors believes that choosing an alternative threshold will provide greater flexibility for the company's future capital management activities.
