Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on May 23, 2017 (the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of the “Reporting Persons,” as defined in the Schedule 13D and corresponding to the signatories hereto, relating to the ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (“Deutsche Bank”) held for the account of C-QUADRAT Special Situations Dedicated Fund. Any capitalized terms used but otherwise undefined in this Amendment shall have the meaning given such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated to read as follows:

The aggregate purchase price for the Ordinary Shares reported in Item 5 was approximately €3,368,835,195, including brokerage commissions, financing costs and other broker expenses. The source of the funds was the working capital of C-QUADRAT and through a loan with a current balance of €348,588,038.66 from UBS AG and ICBC Standard Bank Plc. In addition, UBS AG provided financing against the collar transactions described in Item 6, which financing was also used in acquiring shares. The Ordinary Shares are held in margin accounts.

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 204,670,642 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 9.91% of Deutsche Bank’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. In addition, each Reporting Person other than the C-QUADRAT may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of such Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 9.91% of Deutsche Bank’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. The calculated percentages are based on the 2,066,200,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017 as reported in the Report of Foreign Private Issuer filed by Deutsche Bank with the SEC on October 26, 2017.

To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the persons listed in Annex A holds any Ordinary Shares (other than as described in this Item 5). Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents will be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of any shares of Deutsche Bank for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purposes, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

(b) The Trusts and Cubic have shared beneficial ownership through ownership of C-QIAG, and the Trusts and each of their control persons, Mr. Rieß and Mr. Schütz, have shared control over Cubic. Each other Reporting Person possesses sole beneficial ownership over the Ordinary Shares. Each of the above has the shared or sole authority to direct the voting and disposition of 204,670,642 Ordinary Shares held by C-QUADRAT. As described in Item 5(d) below, BL Capital Holdings Limited (BVI) (“BL Capital”) and HNA Innovation Finance Group Co. Limited (“HNA”) are investors in C-QUADRAT, and C-QUADRAT permits withdrawals, which may be settled in-cash or in-kind.

(c) Not Applicable

 

Page 14 of 18


(d) Each of BL Capital and HNA, through their respective investments in C-QUADRAT, has the right to receive dividends and/or proceeds from the sales of the Ordinary Shares of C-QUADRAT.

(e) Not applicable

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Item 6 is amended by adding the following:

On December 20, 2017, C-QUADRAT entered into a new series of collar transactions with UBS AG in connection with a partial repayment of the margin loan reported in Item 3 above. C-QUADRAT sold call options relating to 17,360,894 Ordinary Shares with an exercise price of €20.9830 per share and acquired put options to sell 17,360,894 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of €14.5267 per share. The new series of collar options is European-style and will be automatically exercised in eight tranches from December 7, 2020 until December 17, 2020 if the relevant option leg is in the money. The contract provides for cash settlement as the default method of settlement. C-QUADRAT will pay a portion of the dividend received applicable to the Ordinary Shares to UBS AG, and UBS AG will pay the dividends received related to the Ordinary Shares lent to UBS AG, if any.    Subject to certain restrictions and upon UBS’s request, C-QUADRAT agreed to lend its Ordinary Shares as part of the new series of collar transactions on December 20, 2017. All exercise prices are rounded to the nearest .0000. The new collar is in addition to the series of collar transactions previously reported in the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 2, 2017.

In connection with the new collar transactions, C-QUADRAT pledged its interest in the accounts holding the Ordinary Shares to UBS AG, London Branch. UBS AG provided approximately €223,250,253 of net financing against the new collar transactions and €2,361,206,064 of net financing against the all three collar transactions in the aggregate.
