Dear Shareholders,
We would like to announce the following counter-motions regarding the Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Post AG. Unless their objective is only to reject management's proposal, the counter-motions are designated with letters in order to facilitate proxy voting. You can support those counter-motions which are not designated by letters, by voting against the corresponding agenda item. The counter-motions can only be voted on if they are also raised at the Annual General Meeting.

RE: Election as Supervisory Board member
Dear Dr. Appel,
With this letter, I hereby apply as shareholder to become a member of the Supervisory Board, pursuant to Sections 96 (1);
101 Aktiengesetz (AktG - German Stock Corporation Act) in connection with Section 7 (1) no.1 of the Mitbestimmungsgesetz (German Co-determination Act).
I proceed on the assumption that fifty percent of the Supervisory Board is composed of shareholder representatives and fifty percent of employee representatives.
In the election of shareholder representatives, the upcoming Annual General Meeting is not bound to the candidates already proposed and for that reason I wish to submit myself as a candidate at the Annual General Meeting.
Please confirm.
Sincerely,
Paul Schmitz

Re: Your ref. 631 - 5; Your fax dated 4.2.2008
Dear Mr. Bauer,
In order to make my professional qualifications for the application for a seat on the Supervisory Board for the forthcoming Annual General Meeting available under a separate agenda item, I would like to make my expert knowledge, skills and experience known to the Supervisory Board without restriction and to meet the requirements for public disclosure by presenting the following personal details:
I am 70 years old, member of the Association of German Engineers [Verein Deutscher Ingenieure], a mechanical engineer by profession having completed my apprenticeship as a machine fitter.
My professional career mainly focused on design in mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, production supervision and the manufacture of systems as part of the mass production of industrial products for everyday use, value analysis and break-even analysis.
There would be no conflict of interest on my part in serving on the Supervisory Board for the benefit of the company. My expertise is the main factor and is entirely transparent. I do not wish to serve in a purely political capacity.
I would also expressly refuse to serve the company on the Supervisory Board on the one hand and at the same time be in favor of strike action being taken against said company. I would oppose this strongly.
I hope to have been of service to you and remain
yours sincerely
Schmitz

Re: Your ref. 631 - 5. Various correspondence.
Dear Mr. Bauer,
Please find below a summary of my previous correspondence regarding the re-election of the Supervisory Board:
I hereby apply as a shareholder for a position on the Supervisory Board in accordance with Article 96, Paragraph 1; 101 German Stock Corporation Act [AktG] in conjunction with Article 7, Paragraph 1 (1) of the German Co-determination Act [Mitbestirmmungsgesetz]. In order to make my professional qualifications for the application for a seat on the Supervisory Board for the forthcoming Annual General Meeting available under a separate agenda item, I would like to make my expert knowledge, skills and experience known to the Supervisory Board without restriction.
My application is to be taken as a request to publish an item for resolution at the forthcoming General Meeting and to disclose this publicly in accordance with the legal basis.
Personal details:
I am 70 years old, member of the Association of German Engineers [Verein Deutscher Ingenieure], a mechanical engineer by profession having completed my apprenticeship as a machine fitter.
My professional career mainly focused on design in mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, production supervision and the manufacture of systems as part of the mass production of industrial products for everyday use, as well as in pipeline construction, value analysis and break-even analysis as well as technical and price-related design of industrial refrigeration plants.
There would be no conflict of interest on my part in serving on the Supervisory Board for the benefit of Deutsche Post AG. My expertise is the main factor and is entirely transparent.

I do not serve on the Supervisory Board of any other company.
I hope to have been of service to you and remain

From Shareholder Ulrich Uekermann
Dear Sir/Madam,
In accordance with Article 126, Paragraph 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act [AktG] I propose that the Supervisory Board and Board of Management receive no discharge from their obligations, since they did not properly carry out their control functions!!
The reasons for this proposal are: 1. The quality management system, if it exists at all, does not function satisfactorily in terms of the delivery of letters (one of Deutsche Post's core competences):
So long as registered items (Deutsche Post soundbite: guaranteeing a better service) can no longer be securely and reliably delivered and, as has repeatedly proven to be the case (e.g. passports with Visa applications), items get lost or are stolen (accumulating in Berlin North) and any enquiries made remain fruitless, Deutsche Post AG, represented by the Board of Management, must be reproached for its failure to undertake adequate control measures. Customers affected should not only expect a full resolution of this matter but also that this disgraceful state of affairs, in view of the repeated damage caused, be cleared up as quickly as possible and continuous corrective action and improvements carried out.
2. The selection of reliable and honest staff for such a highly sensitive area as the handling of registered mail (mainly documents whose contents are extremely important and in some cases of irretrievable value and of great financial consequence to the customers affected if lost) has also failed. Merely offering meager compensation to customers by way of recompense for these shortcomings is totally unacceptable and only serves to highlight the lack of importance attached to such shortcomings.
Yours faithfully

Re: Motions for consideration at the annual general meeting
Shareholder number: 02 003 025 862
As shareholders we submit the following motions:
‘Members of the Board of Management and of the Supervisory Board may not receive free shares and/or pre-emptive rights for Deutsche Post AG shares.’
The reason for these motions is your chairman of the Board of Management’s sale of shares on the stock exchange with a considerable profit.
Yours faithfully,
Helmut Röwekamp
Anna Röwekamp
We are of the opinion that the counter-motions are unfounded and shall, if necessary, take a stand at the Annual General Meeting
