Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft (the "Offeror"), is a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and registered under docket number HRB 32000 with the commercial register of the Local Court in Frankfurt/Main.

The Tender Offers are made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the offer to purchase dated December 5, 2011 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum"). The Tender Offers are part of the Offeror's capital management and are expected to strengthen its regulatory capital base in light of future regulatory requirements.
* Means the TPS currently outstanding and not held within the Commerzbank Group. ** No accrued interest will be payable. The Tender Offers will expire at 5pm, Frankfurt time, on December 13, 2011.
Consummation of the Tender Offers is conditional upon the occurrence of the conditions under "The Tender Offers-Conditions to the Tender Offers" in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Subject to applicable law, the Offeror reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any or all conditions to any or all of the Tender Offers. In order to participate in the Tender Offers, Holders must validly tender TPS in the minimum liquidation preference amounts for the respective TPS (as shown in the table above) in accordance with the procedures under "Procedures for Tendering TPS" in the Tender Offer Memorandum. TPS may only be tendered by Holders who are either a direct participant acting as beneficial owner or a beneficial owner of TPS holding such TPS, directly or indirectly, in accounts in the name of a direct participant acting on the beneficial owner's behalf and are not addressed by the offer and distribution restrictions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum and below (the "Qualifying Holders"). The Tender Offers are being made solely by the Offeror. The Offeror currently intends to accept tenders up to an aggregate amount in cash to be spent on tendered TPS equivalent to €600,000,000 (the "Total Funds Available"), whereby the aggregate amount in cash to be spent in £ on the Commerzbank II TPS tendered will be converted into € at the foreign exchange rate which will be determined by the Offeror, based on prevailing market conditions, on or about the Announcement Date (as defined herein) and announced on the Announcement Date (the "£/€-Rate"). The Total Funds Available are subject to the Offeror's right to decrease such amount in its sole discretion. In the event that the total amount in cash required to be paid for all TPS, tenders of which the Offeror has not rejected (the "Maximum Funds Required"), whereby the amount in cash required to be paid in £ for all Commerzbank II TPS, tenders of which the Offeror has not rejected, will be converted into € at the £/€-Rate, exceeds the Total Funds Available, the Offeror will apply a pro-ration factor to such TPS, by order of priority (as shown in the table above), until the Total Funds Available are reached. In case pro-ration is applied, the Offeror will reject certain tenders of TPS. For details, please see "The Tender Offers" in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Prior to acceptance for purchase by the Offeror of TPS in the Tender Offers, tenders of TPS may be rejected in whole or in part in the sole discretion of the Offeror for any reason. In particular, in case pro-ration is applied, the Offeror will reject certain tenders of TPS as follows: (i) To the extent that, following the application of a pro-ration factor, the liquidation preference amount of any tendered TPS represented by an individual electronic instruction, is below the minimum liquidation preference amount, the offer to tender such TPS will be rejected; (ii) following the application a pro-ration factor, the Offeror will, furthermore, reject offers to tender TPS, which would otherwise be accepted in full, insofar as they exceed the Total Funds Available. The Offeror is under no obligation to Qualifying Holders to furnish any reason or justification for rejecting a tender of TPS. The acceptance of any tenders by the Offeror pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in the sole discretion of the Offeror, of the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Subject to applicable law, the Offeror reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to accept any offers to tender TPS. In addition, the Offeror reserves the right to modify in any manner any of the terms and conditions of any or all of the Tender Offers (including, but not limited to, modifying the TPS Purchase Prices with respect to the Tender Offers). For details, please see "The Tender Offers" in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Qualifying Holders whose tenders are accepted must deliver good and marketable title to their tendered TPS, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims, encumbrances, interests, rights of third parties and restrictions of any kind, to the Offeror in accordance with the "Procedures for Tendering TPS" in the Tender Offer Memorandum on the Settlement Date. In return, payment for these TPS will be made by the Offeror to these Qualifying Holders. No further amounts will be payable by the Offeror or any other party in respect of the Tender Offers. This is an indicative timetable showing the possible timing of the Tender Offers based on the dates printed in the Tender Offer Memorandum:
The above times and dates are subject to the rights of the Offeror, to extend, re-open, amend and/or terminate any or all of the Tender Offers (subject to applicable law, and as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum). If the Offeror terminates one or more of the Tender Offers for any reason, the Offeror may consummate the other Tender Offers that it has not terminated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in the sole discretion of the Offeror, of the conditions to such Tender Offers. Qualifying Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold TPS to confirm whether such intermediary would require to receive instructions to participate in, or revoke their instruction to participate in (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted), the Tender Offers before the deadlines specified above. The deadlines set by each Clearing System for the submission and withdrawal of TPS in favor of the Tender Offers will be earlier than the relevant deadlines above. Qualifying Holders should carefully read and consider all of the information in the Tender Offer Memorandum and, in particular, the information contained under "Risk Factors" in the Tender Offer Memorandum before tendering any TPS.

So they got it then. The extra capital placed with the institutions should start to emerge in the markets soon. This could mean an inexpensive buying opportunity. Hence my strong buy recommendation.
