Cerberus, which currently holds 1.99% of Germany’s largest bank, wants to sell around 15 million shares, the term sheet showed, equating to around a 0.73% stake, which would cut the U.S. fund’s Deutsche Bank holding to roughly 1.26%.

Cerberus declined to comment.

Based on Tuesday’s closing price, 15 million shares in Deutsche Bank are worth around 216 million euros ($247 million). The bank’s stock is up more than 30% so far this year.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) is the bookrunner on the sale, which comes after Cerberus sold a stake of around 1% in the bank in January. Sources have told Reuters that further sales were expected.

Cerberus has agreed to a 30-day lock-up in Deutsche Bank, during which it will not sell additional stakes, Morgan Stanley said and the placement is expected to settle on Feb. 11, 2022.
