DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
This post-effective amendment relates to the Registration Statement No. 333-106591 filed on June 27, 2003 on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), registering 141,130 ordinary shares (without par value) to be offered pursuant to the Deutsche Telekom AG Stock Option Plan 2001.
On April 21, 2010, Deutsche Telekom AG announced its intention to delist its American Depositary Shares and its underlying ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange and that this delisting would be followed by an application to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This post-effective amendment hereby terminates the Registration Statement and removes from registration all of the securities registered thereby which remain unsold as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, Deutsche Telekom AG estimates that approximately 134,950 of the ordinary shares registered on Registration Statement No. 333-106591 in connection with Stock Option Plan 2001 remain unsold.
