ISIN: DE0005552004

Announcement pursuant to article 4 para 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003

(as amended or replaced from time to time)

On March 1 st , 2016 the Company’s Management Board, has resolved to undertake a programme of share buybacks in a maximum amount of 60 million shares of Deutsche Post AG for a maximum total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses) of EUR 1bn (Buyback Programme). The purchased shares will either be cancelled, used to service long term management incentive programmes or to meet possible obligations under the convertible bond 2012 / 2019. The programme will be conducted via stock exchanges and started on April 1 st , 2016 and is restricted to a duration of one year.

The Buyback Programme is based on the authorization of the Annual General Meeting of May 27 th , 2014, valid until May 26 th , 2019 to launch a share buyback programme for shares in the amount of up to 10% of the Company’s share capital existing at the date the resolution on the share buyback is adopted. The purchase price (excluding incidental transaction costs) may not exceed the average share price prior to the effective date of the transaction by more than 10%, and may not be fixed more than 20% below it. The average share price is the non-volume-weighted average of the closing prices of the Company’s shares in Xetra trading (or a comparable successor system) on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on the last ten trading days. The effective date is the date of the purchase.

A first tranche with a maximum total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses) of EUR 100m, representing then 0.34 % of the share capital of the Company, was carried out in the period between April 1 st , 2016 and May 3 rd , 2016.

A second tranche with a maximum total purchase price (excluding incidental expenses) of up to EUR 300m, representing at current share price up to 0.94 % of the share capital of the Company, will be carried out between May 30 th and August 26 th , 2016 on the basis of an irrevocable, non-discretionary arrangement by an independent financial service provider. The financial service provider is obliged to carry out the purchase in accordance with Art. 4 to 6 of the Regulation (EC) No 2273/2003 of the Commission of December 22 nd , 2003 and Section 14 para. 2, Section 20a para. 3 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), as amended or replaced from time to time, and, with effect from July 3 rd , 2016, any purchase of Shares shall be made in compliance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16 th , 2014 on market abuse (market abuse regulation) and repealing Directive 2003/6/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Directives 2003/124/EC, 2003/125/EC and 2004/72/EC and the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) supplementing Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buyback programmes and stabilisation measures (current text version was released by the European Commission on 8 March 2016 under document number C(2016) 1357 final), and in accordance with the authorization of the Annual General Meeting mentioned above.

Moreover, in addition to the afore mentioned, the Buyback Programme will be carried out as follows:

1. The shares will be purchased at market price in accordance with the aforementioned regulations, as applicable at the time of the purchase. The shares will not be bought back at higher price than the highest price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid in the trading venues where the purchase is made.

2. With regard to trading volume, the Company will not purchase more than 25% of the average daily volume of its shares in the regulated market in which the purchase takes place; a limit that will apply to the entire buyback program. The daily average volume will be based on the average daily trading volume in the month before disclosure of this share buyback programme
