Of note are the following items on the agenda:

Resolution on the use of the retained profit (item 2)
The Board of Managing Directors and the Supervisory Board propose to use the profit reported in the annual financial statements for the 2025 financial year to pay a dividend of €1.10 (2024: €0.65) per dividend‑entitled share (totalling around €1.2bn). Together with the two already completed share buybacks with a total volume of around €1.5bn, carried out by the Bank between September 2025 and March 2026, Commerzbank will return a total of around €2.7bn to its shareholders for the 2025 financial year. This corresponds to the total net result before restructuring expenses and after deduction of Additional Tier 1 (AT 1) coupon payments.

Authorisation for share buybacks (items 7 and 8)
Commerzbank plans to continue to return capital to its shareholders through a combination of dividend payments and share buybacks. It has already partially exercised the authorisation for buybacks of last year’s AGM with the share buybacks for the 2025 financial year. Therefore, the authorisation shall be renewed, allowing the Bank to acquire its own shares up to a volume of 10% of the share capital. As in the past, the acquisition of shares should be able to be carried out via the stock exchange or through multilateral trading systems.
