Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read as follows:

(a) C-QUADRAT is the direct beneficial owner of 105,508,769 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 5.1% of Deutsche Banks outstanding Ordinary Shares. In addition, each Reporting Person other than C-QUADRAT may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such Ordinary Shares, as set forth in the Items 11 and 13 and the footnotes thereto of applicable cover pages of this Amendment, which are incorporated herein by reference. The calculated percentages are based on the 2,064,900,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2018 as reported in the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed by Deutsche Bank with the SEC on October 24, 2018.
