Deutsche Post AG: Exploratory process on Postbank becomes increasingly
concrete

Bonn, June 25 2008: Deutsche Post World Net announced today that it has
entered a more intensive phase of the exploratory process concerning the
future of its Postbank subsidiary. The logistics company is currently
evaluating options for an optimal competitive position to secure a
successful future for Postbank. To this end, discussions between Deutsche
Post and potential partners are moving forward quickly and efficiently. No
preliminary decision regarding the various potential options has yet been
taken.

Against this background, the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG has
accepted the request of Postbank Chief Executive Officer Wolfgang Klein to
temporarily step down from the Management Board of Deutsche Post with
immediate effect. Klein’s position as CEO of Deutsche Postbank AG remains
unaffected.

Wolfgang Klein and Deutsche Post Chief Executive Officer Frank Appel have
mutually come to the conclusion that the decision to step down from his
position for the duration of the current phase complies with good corporate
governance. When appointed as CEO of Postbank on July 1st 2007, Klein was
simultaneously appointed to the Management Board of the parent company.

The Management Board of Postbank actively supports this open-ended process
to secure an optimal solution for the successful strategic development of
the company in the future, in the interests of its shareholders, employees
and customers.
