On October 30, 2007, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board issued the annual Declaration of Conformity in accordance with § 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act. It states that Deutsche Bank has complied, and will comply, with the recommendations of the Government Commission’s German Corporate Governance Code with only one exception: the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (D&O), specifically taken out to also include the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, does not have a deductible.

Our complete Corporate Governance Report for 2007 can be found in our Financial Report 2007. This report and other documents on our corporate governance, such as the terms of reference for the Management Board, the Supervisory Board and its committees, are available on the Internet.

We regularly check our corporate governance in light of new events, statutory requirements and developments in domestic and international standards, and make the appropriate adjustments.
