Deutsche Bank Said to Weigh EU9 Billion Share Sale

Deutsche Bank AG is considering a stock sale of as much as 9 billion euros ($11.4 billion) to boost its stake in Deutsche Postbank AG and meet stricter capital rules, said three people with knowledge of the talks.

Germany’s largest bank approached securities firms to assess their interest in managing the sale, which may take place as early as next week, said the people, who declined to be identified because the plans are confidential. Whether it carries out the offering will depend on the financing commitment it gets from the banks, one of the people said.
