The media as well as investors (+ 6% today) reacted very positive towards those plans and the earnings.
I believe that it was very well done by Fitschen/Jain:
What did Deutsche Bank do: Outstanding shares are 929 mn, new shares of 90 mn will be issued to institutional investors. They stay closely under 10% increase in share count. This enables them to not offer subscription rights to all existing shareholders.
- Existing shareholders suffer a dilution of 10% without rights issue.
- New shares were sold at a discount exclusively to institutional investors.
Only a low than 10% capital increase could have been announced and executed in such a fast manner - it took only 1 day.
Why this haste - maybe because the Q1 results are not so good after all. Provisions, anyone?
Update: According to this article Deutsche Bank received 2.96 bn new capital from 90 mn shares.
So that makes 32.88 EUR/share, not the 31.11 EUR they originally planned with.
