On October 1, 2007, Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE: DT) announced that it has been notified of an unsolicited “mini-tender offer” dated September 19, 2007, made by TRC Capital Corporation, a private Canadian company, to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 American Depositary Shares (ADS) (approximately 0.07% of the outstanding ordinary shares and 1.5% of outstanding ADS) of Deutsche Telekom AG at a price of US$18.85 per ADS (which represents a 2.8% discount below the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on September 19, 2007). Deutsche Telekom expresses no opinion and remains neutral with respect to this mini-tender offer. Deutsche Telekom urges shareholders to exercise caution in connection with this unsolicited offer since mini-tender offers do not provide the same disclosure and procedural protection of larger, more traditional tender offers, and to review the advisory statements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NYSE and the Canadian Securities Administrators as referenced in the press release. The press release, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report, is incorporated herein.
