Deutsche Bank commits US $4 million to the victims of the terrorist attacks in the United States

As an expression of its unity with the American people, Deutsche Bank has committed US$ 4 million to aid in relief efforts associated with the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11. The funds will be dedicated to the American Red Cross, as well as other organisations dedicated to assisting police, fire and other emergency rescue workers, victims, survivors and their families. Deutsche Bank will also make an additional US$ 500,000 in matching gifts available to its employees worldwide who are anxious to show their support.

"In response to the despicable and cowardly attacks on the United States, we extend our sympathy to the victims, the injured, and their families and friends," said Rolf-E Breuer, Spokesman of the Board of Managing Directors. "We are ready to help our friends and neighbours overcome these tragic events."

As a member of the New York community, Deutsche Bank has been planning a listing on the New York Stock Exchange for some time. To demonstrate its commitment to the US financial markets, Deutsche Bank will move forward with its NYSE listing as planned on October 3, 2001.
