Deutsche Bank AG is currently reassessing its legal risks due to an unexpected financial impact resulting from a recent court ruling.

The German lender has disclosed that it will set aside up to €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) in provisions following an indication from the court that the outcome related to its acquisition of Postbank, a deal that goes back over ten years, may not be favorable.

This legal setback has had a significant negative effect on the bank's profits and has caused the postponement of a previously announced share buyback, which was confirmed just one day prior to the court's decision.

This situation highlights the challenges Deutsche Bank faces as it navigates complex legal landscapes and strives to reassure investors in light of these developments.
