The management board of Deutsche Bank AG has offered to forfeit part of their 2019 bonus as the lender is set to post a multibillion-euro loss.

Board members under Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing are willing to give up the component of their bonus that reflects individual performance, a spokeswoman said by phone. They would still get awards for group performance and some other benefits that will total about 13.3 million euros ($14.6 million), she said. That includes about 2 million euros for three executives who left the top management body last year.
