The second SoFFin tranche further increases the capital buffer and strengthens the protection against future economic stress scenarios. Economic capital after diversification buffer excl. 2 nd SoFFin tranche: Credit Risk Market Risk Operational Risk Business Risk Capital available for risk coverage 2 nd SoFFin tranche 4% buffer incl. 2 nd SoFFin tranche: 32% The economic and regulatory capital buffer will be closely monitored by comprehensive scenario-based stress testing. During 2009, the economic risk taking capability concept of New Commerzbank will be harmonized with existing regulatory capital adequacy rules leading to a convergence of economic and regulatory capital steering. 2

The portfolio of Corporates & Markets will be reduced mainly by reductions in the Public Finance sub-portfolio. Due to the current poor economic environment we expect further ratings migration and therefore an increase in expected loss levels and risk density. This will be partly offset by selective growth in certain markets. The figures shown are still subject to changes during 2009 due to ongoing harmonisation of methods and parameters, as well as ongoing client re-allocations between the segments, in particular with regard to the trading book. **) n.a. due to outstanding harmonisation of methods in the trading book of C&M and therefore for the group 4

The EAD volume of all three institutes add up to about 25bn. In order to be able to focus on the management of the weaker parts of the portfolio, the risk profile of every single ship financing exposure has been analysed and classified using a traffic lights logic. Since mid 2008, a noticeable decrease of ship values and charter rates especially in bulker and container shipping has been seen. In addition to the general economic environment this was mainly caused by an overcapacity due to higher ship availability. 5

Market Risk Value-at-Risk (99 % / 10 days) per Ultimo January 2009 in m 183 68 23 4 375-122 252 Interest rate and credit spread risk continue to be the main drivers of market risk accounting for approximately 3/4 of the overall Value-at-Risk. Main drivers are the trading book of Corporates & Markets and the banking books of Treasury. 96 Via the planned de-risking by the Divisional Restructuring Unit (DRU), in particular in the area of Structured Finance, we expect a significant decrease of credit spread risk during the course of 2009.

De-risking is planned in Public Finance and DRU. The reduction of the Public Finance portfolio to the target value of 100bn until end of 2010 is on track (as of December 2008: 151bn). However, under current market conditions a fast portfolio reduction is only possible by selling good risks at the expense of the average portfolio quality. 8

The assumptions used in this context are still being validated in the course of the integration project. We expect further savings in the capital charge compared to the sum of the capital charges of both institutions. However, we also expect that the operational risk losses (including legal risk) in 2009 will increase. We expect an increasingly difficult environment due to the current financial crisis and the economic downturn. Experiences show that these situations usually are accompanied by increased claims against banks as well as by increased potential for fraudulent activities. Furthermore, the take-over of Dresdner Bank could cause additional events until the full consolidation of business processes and data processing systems has taken place. 10

From today s point of view negative P&L effects from this sub-segment seem to be unlikely. The economic downturn has an increasing impact on further trigger breaches, delayed payments, declining asset prices and potential refinancing risk (esp. real estate in Spain / UK). Hence, we see further P&L risks with regard to the sub-segments CDO, RMBS and CMBS since the performance of these investments are heavily affected by the factors mentioned above. BB 17% 13

In Dresdner Bank the credit quality of individual transactions deteriorated during the second half of 2008 in the course of the worsening economic environment. In the Final Hold portfolio, a loan loss provision of 10m was made for a single exposure. For the Underwriting portfolio, loan loss provisions of 662m were made. We expect the macroeconomic environment during 2009 to remain weak. Therefore, and in view of the higher leverage ratios in the LAF portfolio, negative rating migrations and further defaults in the Final Hold and Underwriting portfolio cannot be ruled out. 17

GLLP (in %) Group 80% / 89% 6,749 6,128 1,461 16,119 14,337 Defaults in 2008 were dominated by bulk risks.

Future development of default volume is strongly dependent upon restructuring and processing progress of individual bulk risks. The figures shown are still subject to changes during 2009 due to continuous harmonisation of methods and parameters as well as ongoing client re-allocations between the segments. 19

Private customers: increase largely due to adjustments in methodology and a significant decline in amounts received on claims written off. Mittelstandsbank: Significant rise of insolvencies and restructurings in 2009, and therefore also in net loan loss provisions. Central and Eastern Europe: significant year-on-year rise in net loan loss provisions, with Russia, Ukraine and Poland being affected in equal measure. Corporates & Markets: after the exceptionally high charges in 2008, we expect a decline of risk provisions by more than 50% although they will still be high in the LAF portfolio. CRE & Shipping: we expect more defaults and bulk risks; additionally, the negative effect on earnings from ship financing (incl. Schiffsbank) needs to be taken into account. 20

In addition, the probability of bulk and event risks has increased in the current unstable and extremely volatile environment. In terms of impairment charges arising from available-for-sale holdings and defaults in the trading book, we currently assume that we reached the peak for the New Commerzbank in 2008. We are expecting a large reduction for this area in 2009 under our realistic-case scenario. Effects on revaluation reserve 0.8 0.4 1.2 3.1 5.5 1.5 8.7 4.6 In the revaluation reserve, charges against the New Commerzbank s capital base should be well below the 4.6bn total for 2008. 21
