In the latest development of the case, Deutsche Bank said it had settled the majority of the claims with the plaintiffs and agreed to pay the former shareholders €31 per share in addition to the €25 per share originally paid to them. However, there are still some shareholders who are holding back.
Last week, Jan Mayer, a lawyer in charge of the case, described Deutsche Bank’s offer as “right from the start.” He talks about new developments commented: “Whatever was agreed… has no bearing on the decision of any other plaintiff and is therefore irrelevant going forward.”
