Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 8 (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, Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on December 21, 2017, Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on February 15, 2018, Amendment No. 4 filed with the SEC on April 20, 2018, Amendment No. 5 filed with the SEC on April 26, 2018, Amendment No. 6 (Amendment No. 6) filed with the SEC on February 15, 2019 and Amendment No. 7 (Amendment No. 7) filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019 (collectively, 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.

This Amendment constitutes an exit filing for each of the Reporting Persons.

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

The first sentence of 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 1,618,340,789 including brokerage commissions, financing costs and other broker expenses.

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 99,612,266 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 4.8% 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 2,065,428,987 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018 as reported in the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed by Deutsche Bank with the SEC on March 25, 2019.

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) Each Reporting Person possesses sole beneficial ownership over the Ordinary Shares. Each Reporting Person has the shared or sole authority to direct the voting and disposition of Ordinary Shares as set forth in Items 7-10 and the footnotes thereto of the cover pages to this Amendment, which are incorporated herein by reference. As described in Item 5(d) below, BL Capital Holdings Limited (BVI) (BL Capital) is an investor in C-QUADRAT, and C-QUADRAT permits withdrawals, which may be settled in-cash or in-kind.
