Special dividend - outlook for 2017

The Management Board and Supervisory Board of Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG ("pbb") are considering a proposal to the Annual General Meeting 2017 - subject to compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements or developments - to distribute for the financial year 2016 a special dividend from the Heta gain in addition to the distribution according to its communicated dividend policy.

From pbb's point of view, this does not imply a fundamental change to its dividend policy, which provides for a dividend proposal in the amount of 40%-50% of consolidated profit after taxes (in accordance with IFRS) and which the Management Board will review as soon the impact of a changed regulatory environment can be perceived.

pbb anticipates consolidated profit before taxes for 2016 (in accordance with IFRS) between EUR 280 million and EUR 290 million. Excluding the net non-recurring effects of EUR 117 million in the third quarter of 2016 (EUR 132 million in income from Heta, against which pbb has recognized EUR 15 million in provisions and expenses as precautionary measure), pbb expects 2016 operating profit before taxes to the tune of EUR 170 million, in line with original expectations. The Management Board anticipates a higher tax burden for the full year 2016 than in first three quarters, due to valuation losses on deferred tax assets from losses carried forward, as well as additional tax payments that are due following a tax audit. This should translate into a notional IFRS Group tax rate of around 35%.

The Company is aiming for consolidated profit before taxes (in accordance with IFRS) between EUR 150 million and EUR 170 million for the year 2017.
